I echo the other reviewers when they say the customer service at this place is horrible. The guy at the counter (not sure if he's the owner) doesn't seem to know how to treat customers. Another reviewer said there's no menu and no labels on the food, and he's right. But the annoying thing is that if you ask for the price, they don't give you a straightforward answer, which can seem dodgy. The food is okay and authentic but you can get better Filipino fare elsewhere (even at the nearby 88 Supermarket sometimes). The place is dimly-lit and doesn't seem clean enough for a food establishment. I probably won't be coming back to this place unless they make some major changes.

Cute restaurant with lots of selection for food to go. My favorite are, kare kare, laing, dinuguan and turon for dessert.

I would want to give a good review so badly to support this place. I definitely agree with the other review. The place needs a lot of revamping to gain more customers. We were the only customers when we went it today around lunch time. The food in their warmer didn’t look very new. The color of the food looked like it had been reheated several times. I felt bad saying this but we changed our mind and didn’t order at all. We just decided to buy some Turon instead. It just a matter of time before this one is gone unless they decide to up the game.

We loved our experience at Sangkalan Eatery! Jasmin and Leni were super friendly and made sure we felt at home. The food was amazing - generous portions and so delicious! The sinigang was perfect, and the chicken adobo was so tender and flavorful.
We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend this place for great food and warm service

UNLESS you're yathatssobomb or some kind of influencer this place is trash. Walked in and there was no menu, and wasn't even offered a menu. It was awkward and barely even acknowledged. The chef i thought had issues communicating because of poor english had an airpod in his ear. It's not for canadian borns that's for sure. There was no labels on any of the food in the warmers. it was a struggle. There was absolutely no care for service and portions were small and didn't meet the meat to rice ratio. Food was mediocre. This must be a place for just their family and friends, it definitely won't last. Even if you can't cook, y'all could cook better than the food that was served blindfolded. It could have just been timing but last I tried to go in there it was the same they seemed unprepared and not welcoming.

Owner was very unfriendly when I politely asked if I could dine in (one hour before closing), which made me opt to take out instead. A minute later, he allowed another customer to dine in, and i'm waiting for my ride, hungry. Would have forgiven the interaction if the food was good, but I'm sure I could find better Filipino restaurants in town, with owners who would at least smile and reflect the Filipino hospitality some may be looking for in visiting such a restaurant.

Dear Sangkalan I love your Kare-Kare it’s always a haven for me…
My mom & I love coming here. Truly a great filipino restaurant and it gets better every time we go. Only been here twice but Lenny has always been super friendly like family. Recommend the bagnet, pork adobo, kare kare, all on the rice. everything is good in general. To add, I recently had their call-in party trays services for a birthday, we ordered Pancit bihon and Pancit Palabok (Both different types of filipino noodle dishes) and Lumpia spring rolls and they do it 100% right. Too good.

Love this place! For a fair price you get a portion of white rice and two kinds of stew and they’re always soo good. I have tried a couple more philipino places but this is my go too.

Awful, terrible food and worse customer service. Old worker with glasses was super rude and totally hostile.
The food was awful, poor quality and salty. I doubt it was clean as my tummy hurt right after. Disgusting. They use sub par quality ingredients.. they use the cheapest cuts possible and the food is obviously just reheated from the day before. Rarely fresh. Owner/cook is not formally trained/educated on the hospitality/restaurant industry.
A total amateur in the food business if he thinks a business being two years old is old enough(10 years plus is a good age for a business) this business is on its way out if its not obvious.. they have no money for interiors, hiring employees or making quality food.
The interior looks like a reception area for a third world country prison. The walls are covered in dark soot and all the furniture is dusty and dirty and cluttered with all kinds of useless junk.
Take my advice and save your money, pick all the other business at the plaza to spend your money at. This place is a waste of money.
All the businesses in the plaza are well illuminated, busy and successful except this one. This place will close within 3 more years. Trust me.
All the other reviews on here are the owners friends he begged to make for him lol. What a loser.
We will take our business elsewhere. Thanks.

We just have dinner yesterday but food is little bit okay but salty.we order Bagnet it taste salty and they give you soy sauce for the sauce . I suggest improve sauce Not just pour soysauce and thats it. Because the bagnet is salty already and the sauce is salty too. Im looking for ketchup but cant find.and washroom is not available too. And pay so much
Needs a lot of work
