Came here with my family. Delicious. Very colorful. Got the Bistek Tagalog, Sinigang Na Pork Belly, Pork Sisig, Calamari, Lechong Kawali. So good, will definitely be back.

Hands down, MY FAV FILIPINO RESTAURANT IN NJ!!! It's so good that I willingly drive 40 minutes to Union City to eat here, even though I live in an area with a lot of Filipino restaurants nearby. What I love most about Qsina 8 is that the food here is really high-quality - the serving sizes are really big, the ingredients are really fresh, there is attention to presentation and aesthetics, and everything is cooked with so much care and love just like how my Filipino grandma would make it. Sadly it's so hard to find these qualities in a Filipino restaurant nowadays- a lot of the Filipino places near me focus too much on quantity at the expense of quality so the food has become so commercial and lacks that homemade, cozy quality that makes Filipino food so good. But thankfully I can get all that I wish for in Filipino food here at Qsina 8!   I've been here a couple of times and tried a lot of things from here and honestly? I have yet to find a dish here that I did not like. But my special mentions will have to be the bangus sisig (THE BEST!), the kare-kare, and the sinigang. And the DESSERT? TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I can never choose between the halo halo, the ube turon, or the sizzling biko that more often than not, I end up ordering them during every meal lol   Lastly one of the things I love most about this place is the hospitality. Every time I eat here I feel transported back to the Philippines where people are so welcoming and always have a smile on their face. The staff here are always so friendly, strike up conversation, and never rush you through your meal no matter how busy they are. That is Filipino hospitality at its finest and it's the reason I will always be loyal to Qsina 8. Maraming salamat Qsina 8--see you again soon

I am California and we lots of Filipino restaurants so I came in here with not very high expectations. But indeed we left with happy tummies! The food was great and the service was amazing! Too bad we didn't get to take photos of the food because we were so eager to eat! We had the chicharon bulaklak, grilled liempo, pinakbet, chicken inasal and tokwat baboy. We enjoyed all of it. I highly recommend.

I've been here like eight times. Fantastic place. A lot of the food can get ethnic, but here are the safe and delicious things to eat. You're welcome. Chicken Inasal Spring roll chicken Beef BBQ Chicken BBQ Chicken skins

First of all, thank you TRISHA for being such a good hostess and help us navigate through the menu at Qsina8. The dishes you suggested were excellent as you might have noticed from the 4 empty plates! The dishes Trisha recommended were the Bangus sisig with milkfish (my wife and I have had this before) and Bangus sisig with tofu (first time) along with the Kare Kare with Oxtail (2nd time) and the Laksa (pork with noodles, 1st time). We brought friends of ours here who enjoy good (different?) food and they let my wife and I know we "hit it out of the park" bringing them here. I kinda want to go back to try some of the other dishes, but these 4 (even the tofu) were just excellent. This is a BYO, but they also have a QR code you can scan to have wine/beer etc delivered from a local liquor store. You just have to try it!

I've been here about 3 times now and I always get the pork sisig. It comes with a runny egg that you mix with the pork. There are fat pieces of pork which is yummy. I typically like sour soups but the Sinigang was too sour for my liking. There's a good amount of ox tail in the kare kare. The sauce is peanut buttery. Busier and more of a vibe on weekends. You see a lot of Filipino families come eat here too which says something.

Verdict: The best Filipino food I've had in ages. Filipino comfort food at its peak. I wish I ordered the whole menu. But first, ambiance of inside is modern and unfussy. I appreciate the high ceiling. It makes the small dining area seem bigger. Service is fast and friendly. Almost all diners are Filipino - a great sign. We ordered green tea and peach tea. Both great. Appetizers were huge! We got two large plates of ukoy and chicken skins. Both delicious. The mains were topcilog, tofu sisig and bulalo. So so delicious and well seasoned. Desert was the turon trio and ube biko. We left full and with lots of leftovers that tasted even better the next day.

A very nice and cozy spot. Its ambiance is not your typical Filipino Turo-Turo that's over decorated with Pinoy memorabilia. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was a good thing that we called ahead for reservations. They can get really busy and walk-ins had to wait for a table for quite a while. The owner, who also waits on tables, is a cancer survivor. So, extra props to her for keeping up the good fight. When it comes to the food, all dishes were beyond expectations. They made sure that their dishes stood out from your typical Filipino Take Out. The flavors were spot on. One dish, however, took longer than the rest to come out. It was the "Pares", which is beef in a lightly sweet sauce, paired with garlic fried rice. But, it was well worth it. I felt I was back at Rudy's Mami House along North Ave. in Quezon City, Philippines. (I miss that joint.) For dessert, we had the Ube Flan Turon, which is plantain, Ube and Leche Flan wrapped in a Lumpia wrapper, then deep fried. That was evil! Definitely worth driving up to. It is great place to spend Father's Day!

We're so glad we found Qsina8! Food: all of the dishes were delicious. The sinigang and chicken inasal were our favorites. The sinigang was super sour and packed with veggies and oxtail. We also really enjoyed the pancit and loved the texture of the crispy lechon on top. The lumpia were classic, crispy, savory and had a perfect chili sauce. Ambiance: this is a nice restaurant with ample seating. Everything was clean and the tables were set with plates for sharing. Service: our waiter was very attentive and our food came out quickly. We were check up with several times to ensure we had all that we needed. We will definitely be back and recommending Qsina8 to others!

I came here for a birthday dinner with friends after having seen a video online. Upon entrance we were told we could sit anywhere that did not state reservation so we sat right in the middle. Our waitress who I believe may be the owner warned us to order sooner than later as a party of 15 was coming and it could cause a delay in our food arriving if we wait to order. She was very helpful about some suggestions she made for food as far as desserts. She had a very friendly demeanor and was very funny. Me and my girlfriends all ordered at the same time however one of my friends received her order before all of us which was okay until she was already done with her meal and we were Still waiting on ours. She let me try her bistek and it was tasty I compared it to Peruvian lomo. It was not over salty and well prepared . I finally got my pork sisig after she was done with her meal and it was sizzling literally! Very yummy and feeling, some spiciness but not overwhelming. I was able to take left overs because if I had ate it all I would've been way to full for deserts. I had originally ordered the taro drink however I found too creamy still tasty just too creamy and thick. The Thai milk tea was better in my opinion. The ambiance was pretty relaxed. It's a nice restaurant looks like it's family owned. It looks very clean and I would definitely come back to try other items!
