“Kuya Lord’s Filipino feast is food of power, finesse and delight” —Bill Addison, LA Times

Kuya Lord is an elevated fast casual restaurant concept by Chef Lord Maynard Llera featuring regional Filipino dishes that he grew up eating in Lucena City, Quezon Province, Philippines. While the food harkens back to his childhood, Chef Maynard applies his classical techniques in enhancing and reinventing traditional Filipino dishes.

The monicker Kuya Lord is derived from the Tagalog word for “older brother” combined with the chef’s name “Lord Maynard.” This was also the name of the garage pop-up which developed quite a substantial following, prompting the chef to use the same brand for this Los Angeles Koreatown location.

A few seats for sit-down dining are available, but mostly they are accepting take-out and advance order catering. Kuya Lord does not have a phone. Please message them on Instagram.

Farm-to-table Italian food, with all-natural ingredients, made in-house daily. From the site: "In the vein of a traditional Italian osteria as a casual, local gathering place for food, friends, and wine, our menu reflects a less complicated classic grassroots approach to Italian country food inspired by our backyard here in southern California.

"Our core belief: great food need not be elaborate or overwrought, but rather fresh, uncomplicated, and well-executed in order to get out of the way of the ingredients and find the joy in their innate flavors and qualities.

"The joy of eating seasonally, simply, and well among good company is one shared by all at Osteria La Buca. It is with this simple thought in mind that we invite you to join us to celebrate and have a seat at our table."
