"Arrowhead's new family-run Filipino kitchen - crisp lechon kawali, pancit and a Sunday buffet at value prices, for a casual Peoria lunch."
About Kusina Filipino Cuisine
Kusina Filipino Cuisine is a small, family-run kitchen that opened in December 2025 in the Arrowhead Fountains Center, at 16055 N Arrowhead Fountains Center Dr in Peoria, Arizona, a short walk from the Harkins Theatres at Arrowhead. It quickly became a draw for the West Valley's Filipino community and for anyone after home-style Filipino cooking in the area.
The cooking is comfort-first and generously portioned. For more of the city's casual and value-minded tables, compare the all-day Hash Kitchen, the neighbourhood Italian-American Postino and the easy-going The Social on 83rd.

The Kitchen
The menu is straightforward, home-style Filipino cooking. Crisp lechon kawali - deep-fried pork belly - is the dish to order, alongside pancit noodles, lumpia spring rolls and the rich pork-blood stew dinuguan, with popular plates that can sell out as the day goes on, so it is worth calling ahead to check what is left. A Sunday buffet brings out a wider spread for groups. Prices stay low, which is much of the appeal: this is an everyday, value-driven kitchen rather than a special-occasion table, built for a quick, filling lunch or an early dinner. The room keeps short daytime hours, opening late morning and closing in the early evening.
The Room
The setting is modest: a small counter-and-tables space tucked into the Arrowhead Fountains Center, the kind of strip-mall room where the food and the welcome carry the experience rather than the decor. It sits near the Harkins Theatres at Arrowhead, with the centre's parking around it, which makes it an easy stop before or after a film. The short hours - late morning to early evening - and the casual setup mean it works best for a relaxed lunch, a solo plate or a family takeaway run, and the Sunday buffet is the busiest service of the week.
Best for a Casual Lunch
The low prices, generous plates and easy strip-mall setup make Kusina a comfortable solo lunch or a relaxed team lunch, and a friendly midday catch-up when you want filling Filipino comfort food in Peoria.
Not for
Not for a date night or a special occasion - this is a small, value-driven strip-mall kitchen with short daytime hours, built for casual lunches and takeaway rather than a sit-down evening out.
