Jose Bistro - Matina

Had dinner here Monday night. Party of 6 high school students (uniform apparent). Had the Southern Fried Chicken. It was tasty, u fortunately the thicker piece was raw and bloody. To the kitchens credit, they took back BUT saved me the same piece I had cut up so it looked butchered! Didn't finish it cos it wasn't appealing anymore though orig it had good taste along with its accompanied cream sauce. Waiter is novice as I sat there for awhile,ready to order but didn't help me until 10min., even for beverages. No tissue even though i had asked. Frustrated, I left. Hoping they fix the issues as food was tasty.

José offers almost all the savory comfort food dishes my heart desires! Swear! Lechon kawali, buttered prawns, cheese sticks... I could just go on. I name it, they got it! Now what I like about this place and what sets it apart from other comfort food restos is they keep dishes as simple as possible but then also find ways to add a twist to dishes that can afford it. Like lechon kawali, it's simple to make but can easily go wrong when undercooked, more so when overcooked. Jose does it perfectly, tenderness and flavor in par with my standards! And then they also do twists like turon with cheese! I mean anything with cheese right? But whoever thought about turon with cheese, now that is genius! Apart from the food, I also had a shake, a saba shake. As in, saba, plantain shake, and I did not expected to love it so much I wish all other restaurants would offer it too! There is nothing like the feeling of discovering something new you love!

Masarap ang food. Lalo na yung chicken inasal and sisig.. The best dba [558311937:MiCkey] and [100000212486907:Rhaine] :

Nice little restaurant. Food tastes good. Big servings and affordable prices. The only issue that we had was that a lot of the items on their menu were not available.

Waiting time is terrible, same with the steak josé. They need basic restaurant management, crew is lost. Will not go back. Sorry
