"Magna Kusina, a lively space filled with reds, blues, and yellows borrowed from the Philippines’ flag, is great for Filipino food that’s more chef-y than homestyle. Start with a few grilled skewers to share, then move on to larger format items paired with something starchy, like Mom’s Crab Fat Noodles—the black squid ink noodles are tossed with tomalley from the crab and are a treat that lets nothing go to waste. This restaurant is pretty casual, but you still need to make a reservation for a table. Otherwise, plan on eating takeout on your couch while watching Netflix." - krista garcia
