Our Story

When you step into Filipino Fusion, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re experiencing a legacy of passion, hard work, and culinary mastery. At the heart of this restaurant’s story are Helen and Jezel, the dynamic mother-daughter duo bringing the vibrant flavors of the Philippines to your plate.

Helen’s Culinary Roots in the Philippines

For Helen, food has always been more than just sustenance; it’s a way of connecting people, celebrating culture, and creating community. For 20 years, Helen ran a bustling restaurant in the Philippines, dazzling her customers with her dedication to authentic flavors and her knack for adding her own creative twists. Her restaurant became a cherished gathering place, known for dishes that showcased both tradition and innovation.

From the crackle of sizzling sisig to the perfect balance of sweet and savory in her adobo, Helen developed a signature style that brought customers back time and time again. These decades of experience honed her cooking skills, but more importantly, it fueled her dream to introduce Filipino cuisine to a wider audience.

Jezel—Following in Her Mother’s Footsteps

Growing up, Jezel was immersed in the fast-paced, flavor-filled world of her mother’s restaurant. From a young age, she wasn’t just observing—she was hands-on, learning the ins and outs of running a business, prepping ingredients, and infusing passion into every dish. For Jezel, her mother’s restaurant wasn’t just a workplace but a classroom where she absorbed the art of Filipino cooking alongside the importance of perseverance and heart.

Now, as an adult, Jezel carries on those lessons. Partnering with her mom, she brings new energy and innovation to Filipino Fusion. Together, they’ve blended their talents and perspectives to create a menu that honors tradition while speaking to modern tastes.

What Makes Filipino Fusion Special

What sets Filipino Fusion apart isn’t just the food—it’s the story. Every item on the menu tells a tale of heritage, love, and a deep connection to Filipino culture. From the family recipe for lumpia to the perfectly caramelized leche flan, every dish is crafted with the same dedication that Helen poured into her first restaurant 20 years ago.

The mother-daughter partnership also brings a unique balance to the business. While Helen ensures that the flavors stay true to their roots, Jezel brings fresh ideas to the table, ensuring the restaurant appeals to food lovers of all backgrounds. It’s a perfect blend of past and present, tradition and innovation.
