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.

This restaurant has a small hot table and they also make noodle soup called "Lomi". There's a small dining area good for maybe 10 people max. We ordered 2 beef pares noodles (large) $14.99 and one combo meal 2 $12.99 with a choice of 2 meat (pork or chicken), steamed rice and bottled water. Portion wise, the combo meal was a little bit small but understandable for businesses trying to navigate through tough times. We got the bicol Express and another pork dish with shrimp paste. The pork used in these dishes were very fatty so unfortunately, most of the meat was not edible. A little more attention to the meat selection will go a long way for patrons to enjoy their hot table food. The highlight was the beef pares noodles soup. Took some time for them to prepare it, but well worth the wait. The broth was satisfying, and noodles cooked extra soft for my mother-in-law. The beef brisket was tender and seasoned well. Overall, it was a nice first experience at this local restaurant . I will visit again soon when craving some chicken Lomi or beef pares. The owner and staff were very friendly and treated you like family. Well done.

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 ordered their Halo-Halo, Palabok and their Berto's Fried Chicken. Halo-Halo (5/5) is hands down the best summer dessert. It's so refreshing and had the perfect blend of sweetness and creaminess. They added the perfect amount of ube ice cream, caramel flan and a mixture of jelly, red beans and sugar palm fruit at the bottom. It's a must-try treat. Palabok (2/5) was okay. It was a bit dry and not as saucy as we would've preferred. It could use some chicharron (pork rinds). There's not much protein in this meal other than the boiled egg which was a let-down. We also noticed that some of the noodles have crisped up as well which must've been from the heat lamp/steam table. The dish could use some shrimp and topped with some fried garlic chips. Berto's Fried Chicken (5/5) was delicious. It was fresh, tender and juicy. It had the right amount of seasoning that didn't make it overwhelmingly salty. The garlic fried rice and fried eggs were a great combination with chicken. Any of their breakfast items have always been good.
