Munting Kusina ni Nanay — Sweet bites shine. Savory sides stumble. Delivery-friendly but inconsistent.

– One buyer reports lechon kawali weight far below what was ordered
– Fried tilapia criticized for being tough, not crisp, and possibly day-old
– Bistek/beef steak serving counted as very few pieces for the price
– Dinuguan described as bland by one diner
– Quality seems stronger on desserts vs. some ulam

Customers come for the Filipino staples and the convenience of online ordering, and many folks call out the karyoka and cassava cake as the sweet spot—simple, satisfying merienda that hits the Pinoy craving. Pork BBQ gets a nod too, and there are the occasional “it’s good” comments that suggest decent everyday turo?turo fare when things line up. People like that they can grab familiar ulam and desserts or have them delivered through DoorDash.

Diners enjoy the variety, although several experiences point to inconsistency on the savory side. Some customers mention sisig arriving cold or overly fatty, and a couple claim spoilage issues with sisig and biko. Fried tilapia drew complaints for being tough and not crisp, with one person feeling it tasted like leftovers. There’s also a report of dinuguan lacking flavor, making it feel pricey for what it was. Portion size vs. price is a recurring theme—one small beef-steak order had only a handful of pieces, and someone who ordered half a kilo of lechon kawali says they received much less than expected.

Service-wise, online ordering and delivery make it easy to try, while others ran into hiccups: missing condiments, incomplete orders, and food arriving cold. A few folks say phone calls went unanswered, leaving refunds or fixes unclear. Overall, desserts and merienda skewers seem to land best, while consistency with ulam, portion value, and order accuracy is where experiences diverge.
