Saw this place on instagram and my wife wanted to try it for her birthday. Reached out to them…read moreon Instagram where they made some suggestions and I placed an order for today. Tried a few things and there was more than enough food for 4 adults and 2 kids. This place has this Kamayan platter box that has good variety and is great for sharing. Will get to that later. Also this was take out so went to pick it up. First thing they suggested was the Caldereta Royale. This was a poutine but with stewed beef, carrots and peas and gravy. Quite tasty. Next we got a fried adobo chicken on rice also pretty good. Chicken was crispy and I was smelling it all the way home and couldn't wait to dive in when I got home. Now for the main, we ordered the Kamayan box that we saw on instagram. 5 different proteins, bed of seasoned rice, nice shrimps and fried eggs. Everything worked really well together. My parents were over and they ate with us, never trying Filipino food before. They loved it. The flavours and the sauce that came with it... Just delicious, and a must try. Food was more than enough for all of us, and I have left overs for lunch tomorrow. The staff here are super nice people. Patient with me as I couldn't decide what to order and through our great ideas. Also gave me something for free to try which was delicious as well. Would definitely be going back, amazing experience.

This is a food stall in the Woodside Square food court, specializing in Filipino food and desserts…read more I ordered the Halo Halo ($9.99). It comes in a bowl instead of the usual glass. It is better this way so that each individual ingredient can be shown clearly. On top of a bed of crushed ice and carnation milk, there are 9 different ingredients plus a scoop of taro ice cream and a cherry on top. It took 10-15 mins to make it. The customer service was good. The Halo Halo was good, but I thought it had too much ice. There is a stage right in front of the food stall. When we were they, there was a children's magic show. There is indoor seating, but it is hard to find a table on the weekends since people linger around longer, especially if they are watching a show. There is free WiFi from the mall. The place I'd wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms, and they are both wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in the mall's parking lot. Review 2023-359

A great find in Barrie if you're looking for some Filipino food…read more Was able to try some things with my multiple visits. Once for take out and the others for dine in. They offer a good number of filipino dishes including a boodle fight option if you're looking for that experience. We just ordered from the regular dishes offered during our visits. I would say the food is good, flavour wise they're what they're supposed to be for the things we've ordered. It's nice to know where to find some comfort food options. They have a good number of tables for you to sit and dine in for your meal and are also pretty quick with take out ordering. The restaurant is decorated with filipino art work. I would recommend checking this place out if you're needing some filipino food in Barrie.

It is definitely a take out/quick eat spot as it's not supposed to cater for ambiance upstairs. The homey feel of their service and hospitality is something that makes this place feel like a community/home. My parents come regularly in the mornings before work and it really does feel like you're just going to your Tita's (Filipino aunt) house for lunch! Some of their dishes are average but the hospitality and for the price is really worth it! Side note: they also offer Boodle Fight reservations in their basement - can also host/hold parties there!

I've tried several Filipino restaurants, but this one Manyaman located on Kennedy truly stands out…read more The dishes remind me of authentic, home-cooked meals, the kind a mother would prepare with care. So far, I've had their sisig, kare-kare, beef steak, binagoongan, and lumpiang prito, and every dish has been consistently flavorful. The kare-kare, in particular, is exceptional -- rich and perfectly balanced- made with quality ingredients. They didn't cut corners. I'd also recommend their dessert - maja blanca (only $8) and chicharon (I would say is better than Banahaw), which were both delightful surprises. Pricing is fair, especially considering the quality. The packaging is thoughtful too, ensuring the food stays fresh. While the service can be a bit slow at times, the food is definitely worth the wait. This place has quickly become my go-to for Filipino cuisine, and I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu. My only hope is that they maintain this level of quality and not to become like others- becoming overly commercialized. Highly recommended! Lastly, the staff exemplifies great customer service and truly an asset to the restaurant owner- they're great in sales too :)

We came here for late night food and live entertainment. There's a cover charge of $10 per person…read morefor the live band performance. That is a bit pricey compared to other places in Scarborough. The space is too small, and it was very cramped seating. I was not able to face the stage where i was sitting. The lounge is on the upper floor and not handicap accessible. The pork sisig was disappointing. We usually order a party tray and it was really good. The sizzling plate in the restaurant had lots of fat and no meat. We even ordered 2 sisig and same thing all fat. The pork bbq was really good with a nice thick layer of sweet savory bbq sauce. There were some unedible pieces of fat, but overall, it was a good appetizer. The hot wings were crispy and juicy and nice, sweet chili dipping sauce to compliment them. The wings were not spicy at all. The menu is QR code scan using your mobile device. The server was taking orders using a tablet point of sale device. They are licensed to serve alcohol and you can order buckets of beer, wine, and cocktails. The live entertainment was pretty interactive, and they invited some people from my group to sing along karaoke style with the band. If live music and karaoke are your favorite way to enjoy a night out, then this place might be for you. For me, the tight seating arrangements and some subpar food offerings left something to be desired. The beer buckets are quite pricey and if you are looking for Red Horse, they do serve the tall boy cans here. Expect to pay a premium for the import beers. We drank Stella Artois. The total bill, including 5 x $10 cover charge came up to $280. It was very expensive considering the food we ate and 2 buckets of beer. If you are looking for a local Filipino karaoke bar, then this place might be a good place

Ended up staying for lunch instead because why not celebrate Canada's Filipino Heritage Month with some Filipino eats and since we have none by us. We decided to try the Filipino BBQ and lumpia with some rice. Let's just say the food was so good we didn't get a chance to even take a photo lol. The BBQ was flavorful and enjoyably better than other Filipino BBQs we've tried back in NY. We would definitely want to come back here again next time we're in town. Everyone was friendly in there and greeted us open arriving and leaving. They also have other treats there like halo halo, Filipino ice cream, pandesal, ensaymada, kutschinta, and more. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area.

If you are looking to celebrate a birthday, graduation, milestone, or just a family get together. This restaurant provides a clean and spacious venue. The party room is wited up with disco lights, a sound system, and most importantly, karaoke. We had a set menu buffet style for $30 per person. This includes soft drinks, coffee, dessert, the party room for 4 hours. The food included with the package were the following: 1. Steamed rice 2. Pancit bihon 3. Kare Kare peanut stew 4. Beef caldereta 5 Breaded fish fillets 6. Crispy fried chicken 7. Chop suey vegetables If you want to bring your own bottled alcohol there is a corking fee of $25 per bottle. Bring your own beer you will need to pay $1.50 bottle fee. In other words, they encourage you to order through their bar. The beer is priced well. $4.99 for domestic and $5.99 for imports. The food was pretty good and was refilled by the staff. The fried chicken, beef caldereta, fish fillets, and pancit bihon were my favourites. The service was friendly, and they did a great job preparing the venue and food. Kudos to the hard-working staff. If you are looking for a smaller party venue to celebrate a special day, then you should definitely give them a call and make a reservation.

Lakay Kusina is a small Filipino restaurant . I was searching for a Filipino restaurant in the GTA…read moreone day, and lots of YouTube videos recommended this restaurant. The current owner Ariel took over the restaurant from his uncle just before the pandemic. It's already a good sign to know a restaurant survived that -- it must have its unique advantages. My first impression of this restaurant was that it made me feel very relaxed, as if I was truly in the Philippines, or on a tropical small island. Its decoration and the way it displays the food are casual and even a bit shabby, but still make me feel very comfortable, just like being at home. The restaurant plays 80's, 90's music. I heard it has karaoke from time to time, I do want to participate in that ! It has all kinds of authentic Filipino food, but our goal is only the Kamayan - Boodle Fight. I looked it up with AI, Kamayan means "use hands to eat", Boodle is just a lot of food, Fight is because you need to fight for your food. This feast is very appealing. All the ingredients will be spread on the table which is covered by banana leaves. The ingredients are colorful, the main proteins are seafood, like squids and fish . With a lot of boiled vegetables on the side. The rice is garlic rice and full of flavor. The restaurant will provide you with gloves to let you eat them with your hands. You can eat them directly or with their special sauce. The food is delicious, but what really stands out is the memorable combination of visuals and flavors. If you've never tried a boodle fight before, I highly recommend giving it a try .

The menu is simple but offers enough variety that you'll definitely want to come back and try more. The service was excellent as well--staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. I tried the Ilocos Empanada and was pleasantly surprised--it was made fresh to order and packed with flavor. While waiting, you can enjoy a comforting cup of Beef Nilaga soup and sip on refreshing calamansi juice, which is such a nice touch. Overall, a really positive experience. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the Boodle Fight!
