Magna Kusina was born with the idea of family in mind, from the name, the staff, and to everyone that has supported us along our journey.
We have one simple mission, to share our love of Filipino food and culture through a modern lens.
If you are not familiar with our food and culture, we hope that your first experience will bring you back for more. If this isn’t your first rodeo though, we hope to connect with you on an emotional level, that our dishes will evoke happy memories of the times you’ve enjoyed our amazing cuisine.
Magna Kusina welcomes everyone from all walks of life and we hope that we can bring everyone together with a great meal, some drinks, and a warm and welcome ambiance.
As my family would say, “Mangan tayon!” = “Let’s Eat!”
I started cooking at an early age and decided to pursue it as a profession in my late teens/early 20's.
Ive traveled the world and trained with many talented chefs to learn as much as I could. I am still learning and enjoy cooking with other amazing people.
