5 stars for tita. Anyway, i had to stop by to get filipino food. Close to eating homemade Got kare kare with peanut based gravy. 3 big chunks of beef. Delicious. I'm saving the sauce for another meal! Loved the tiny lumpia. Haven't had it for so long. It's downtown.

Felt like i was in the philippiness food is delicious and the lady that cooks is really sweet was talking to her the whole time i was there reminded me of my grandma. Salamat po!

They've been in business since before I was born. Huge part of the community offering shipping services and catering options. Great food

When I'm having a rough day at work, I go straight to JT's! Tess has this warm and welcoming ora about her that makes it feel like you are going home for lunch or dropping by your tita's (aunt) placd for a quick bite. Her sinigang is my FAVORITE! If you are looking for a home-cooked, authentic Filipino meal, look no further! Watching TV Patrol was the Cherry on the top for me!

Authentic Filipino food right here! I love that it taste like home sweet home! Tried the pork and chicken adobo and the lumpia Shanghai! I definitely recommend the fried bangus - it was cooked to perfection and the size was big like half of the to go box! Rice is life and the serving was generous enough! I will definitely come back to this restaurant! I was greeted by the friendly owner!

Probably the only Filipino restaurant near the mission and soma. It has most of the tradition Filipino dishes. Great for catering. Tess is a sweetheart as well!

Rly nice experience! We had no idea what anything was since we hadn't had Filipino food much before, so the owner kindly and enthusiastically explained what all the options were, it was very cute And we chose our dishes and she gave us heaping portions, filling the bowls with the entree and then also plates full of rice The food itself was really good and well flavored! Wish there were more veggies but the pairing of the rice meat and sauce was great Small little restaurant tucked inside a building, a mini cafeteria vibe with lots of character A really solid meal!

Filipino food is critiqued so heavily, especially by other Filipinos. I promise you this place serves food made from the soul. My fiancé and I wanted to try this place after a long flight. The vibe of the place reminded me of home; house plants, cantina style dining, balikbayan boxes, Filipino goods. Owner/manager were super duper nice and reminded me of my own lola. We both had the combination plate. My fiancé had the pork adobo and chicken affritada. I had the Bangus and pork adobo. Pork adobo was a 9/10. Definitely on the saltier side, but I didn't mind at all. More vinegar taste and it would be 10000/10 Bangus was a 10/10 and complimented the adobo Affritada was pretty good, just never been a fan of it in general. My fiancé just randomly ordered it. Like I said, Filipino food is heavily critiqued. If it's not your Lola's cooking, it never feels or tastes the same, but JT's is a Filipino restaurant that definitely meets those standards. Maraming salamat po! Til next time! We will be back!

Friendly service and a setting that makes you feel like you're at your grandmas house. The food is SO good probably the best Filipino food you can find in SF. Got my usual favorite of the chicken adobo but the beef stew blew me away, so flavorful and fatty
