Jay-j’s Profile

Jay-j’s Inasal is not just one of the best Inasal restaurants in the metro. It serves some of the best regional Filipino cuisines. It took owner Jay Mendoza and his team a few dozen trips all over the country to have a taste of the best that every region has to offer. But it all starts in the Western Visayas Region where the now famous grilled chicken dish started. The secret to this well loved dish is in the marinade. The local Ilonggo vinegar made from coconut forms the base. This is what gives Jay-j’s Inasal its’ distinct flavor. They mix it with a few secret herbs and spices and you have the best tasting chicken inasal. Another Ilonggo specialty, pancit molo makes its’ way to Jay-j’s menu. The Davao Region is well represented by another grilled Filipino specialty – grilled tuna. It comes in two variants, panga and belly. Cebu’s pride and joy, the Sinuglaw offers the perfect combination of grilled pork mixed with fresh tuna cubes. It is the Cebuanos take on everybody’s favorite beer match food the kinilaw. Make no mistake about it, it goes well with rice too. Bicolano cuisine is known for two things – coconut milk and chili peppers. And the two dishes that best represent these two ingredients are found in Jay-j’s expansive menu. These are Bicol express and Laing. For those hankering for some Ilocano cuisine, Jay-j’s has loads of it. Their version of Pinakbet is one that can instantly transport you to the old towns of the region in one bite. What is a Filipino restaurant without the presence of the cuisine of the country’s culinary capital, Pampanga? Jay-j’s has the Kapampangan versions of Filipino classics like Sisig, Kare-kare and Crispy Pata. Our regional approach to our menu is what sets Jay-j’s Chicken Inasal Restaurant apart for the rest. The very first branch is in Timog Avenue and was inaugurated on February 2004. Following the success of the first branch initiated a vision to expand, not only focusing on putting up branches within Metro Manila, but as well as to establish a distinguishing mark that signifies the exquisiteness of our local dishes across other countries. This then led to the first international branch of Jay-J’s Chicken Inasal which is located in Little Manila, Dubai that was inaugurated on September 2015. and Abu Dhabi on July 2016.
