Great food and great people such as Olivia who run this restaurant. This place introduced me to the many great items you can get from a Philipino restaurant. Thanks everyone at the restaurant!

I go to this place (just today @round 11:10AM) if I need to buy fast food for lunch or dinner. I tried the dinakdakan last December and my wife told me that the lady needs good customer service, Their dinakdakan meat is hard to bite. I ordered again today, and I tried to observe the lady. I asked for a free taste of dinakdakan, whether it was soft or hard. My mom observes her not-so-friendly behavior. I would suggest that, if you are the owner, try to smile a bit and welcome your Filipino customers. Their dinakdakan is not soft to bite the second time, but I still tried. If you crave Filipino food, also try ESTACION in South Ajax and compare both service and taste. I gave you a couple of stars for their location and accesibility (near my place).

I have been coming here since they opened and I've never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and service is amazing! Food tastes good! Dinakdakan is one of our favorite and my kid loves the shanghai! Tita is very welcoming and smiles no matter how busy she is. Will definitely keep coming back.

It’s been a while since I ordered in this place as the food is either salty and most of the time the meat are so hard to chew. Not to mention the inconvenience they did with our last delivery of whole roasted pork last July that we called in advance pick up at around 1:30 but they didn’t manage to serve it to us instead they delivered it at 4:30pm which is very unprofessional our party has already started.So I give it a try this time. I ordered a small portion of the roasted belly, lechon kawali and munggo since it’s only me. But when I’m in the middle of my meal I found this hair at the munggo. A long hair…It’s so disgusting that I lost my appetite. Never will come back again should’ve trusted my guts that I will be disappointed again.

We ordered 35lbs of lechon.The lady I spoke to was very kind and easy to talk to. However, we were very disappointed as the skin is not crispy and overcooked. The face of the pig is not properly cleaned as there’s still hair left on the skin. We picked it up on time and the drive to our place is 10-15 mins away from the restaurant but it was not fresh. The $255 we paid for this lechon was not worth it.

The place is kind of like a fast food, cafeteria style; not much of a decoration for sit in, but the food tastes so good. Especially this Pork With Shrimp Paste, goes really well with white rice. Shrimp paste is a fermented salty paste made from shrimp. Chinese people have been using it to cook pork for hundreds of years. But it usually smells weird. Some will even say stinky, very salty too.But this Philippines dish is different, it's not very salty, it has a slight smell and taste of the shrimp paste, and the sweetness of the sauce makes everything so well balanced and tasty.Price is a bit costly, $8 for a small size.

Edit: I recently visited this place again and it’s a night and day difference from the first time I went. Portions are much larger and the quality of the food is spot on. I wish I tried it sooner but better late than never.

I would t call the place spectacular. They serve the same food most of the time. Consistency of the taste is sometimes an issue, too salty at times and often too heavy and oily. Service is okay. For anyone who just needs a quick Asian meal, it’s so so.

I have some Filipino friends who have raved about this place. I went just to buy some pastries which were delicious, the smell of the food was amazing, so I promise to return , and try some more. Staff were friendly and restaurant spotless.

Food was disgusting. I ordered two beef patties and it was spoiled the peanut chicken was just a large piece of fat and food was not flavourful enough. I did come during closing but that doesn't give them the right to serve spoiled beef patties. Soo gross.

Writing this review as I am digging in and satisfying my craving for Pork Humba. I've been craving it since Christmas eve and regret not ordering a tray then but with their closure over the holidays, it's only today (the 29th) that I got my cravings satisfied! I called yesterday but too bad they didn't have it so they accomodated my request and cooked it for today! I must say their HUMBA is one for the books! I have never tasted humba at any Filipino resto in GTA like it! They're very well known for their lechon dishes of course (hence the name!) and their dinakdakan and sisig but I highly recommend to try their humba. My kids love it they can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner :) thanks again, Tita and the rest of the team! They've always accomodated my requests even last minute ones. Happy new year from the humba queen hahaha

I seldom write a review but was really disappointed with our whole lechon and belly lechon for a triple birthday celebrations last weekend. Visitors tagged the roast pig "malnourished" because not only its tiny, it was tasteless and barely have meat. We like lechon and ordered to several restaurants WILSONS Haus, BELLAs, Mang Tomas and this is by far the worst. It was a waste of $400.
