“A unforgettable dining experience last 07/04/25 (Friday)! Shoutout to Chef/Owner Danny Cancino and his team for an impeccable service! 👏 Every dish and the complimentary additions were phenomenal! The modern twist in Filipino cuisine was definitely well done!💖🌟 Here are some of my standout favorites 🤯: • Pineapple + Kombu (Seaweed): Refreshing and light, with crispy seaweed balancing the sweet, citrusy pineapple 💛 • Duck Ensaymada w/ Duck Prosciutto and Truffle Butter: One of the fluffiest breads I’ve ever had, inspired by classic ensaymada. Spreading truffle butter on it was chef’s kiss—it melts in your mouth! 😭👌 • Scallop Inari Lumpia: Beautifully presented with fried sushi rice, ginger-chili dressed Argentinian shrimp, and seared scallop on top. The rice was fluffy and so tasty I could eat it endlessly! • Iberico Pork Collar: Juicy, saucy, and umami-packed tender pork with chicharon, lettuce leaves, and sesame aioli. The pickled papaya (atchara) was a nice touch—I don’t usually eat atchara, but I loved it with this! • Beef Short Rib Kare-Kare: The star of the show! 🌟👏 Rich, classic kare-kare flavors with blanched bok choy and eggplant. The thick, peanuty sauce was delightful—if only there was rice! 🤣😋 Hope as many people as possible get to try this ultimate gourmet experience, whether you’re visiting Toronto or a Canada local! 🌟 Thank you Mineral!☺️Until we visit again!“

“I've been a customer of this restaurant since they started their branch on Bathurst St. Over the years, I've watched the business grow, and I'm always impressed by their service, food, and ambiance. The friendly staff always put a smile on my face, from ordering to finishing my meal. The restaurant continues to evolve, introducing new menu ideas and popular Filipino desserts-to-go like Taho, Buko Pandan, and Fruit Salad. Kabalen is a true gem in North York, perfect for bringing visitors to satisfy their cravings - a home away from home. One drawback though, is the accessibility. The dining area is located upstairs and the washroom is downstairs in the basement. As a result, it is not advisable for wheelchair users to dine in. Nonetheless, the establishment maintains a clean environment and is conducive for group gatherings, or for individuals like myself, who just wants to unwind after a days work.“

“Friendly and delicious lunch💕“

“stopped by because it was a really hot day and decided to try their halo-halo which we really enjoyed! they also have lots of other Filipino food like adobo, turon (3 for $2 CAD and so GOOD!), pancit, and more! i will definitely come back ✨“

“I came with friend to try the food on a recommendation from IG.
We had the Lechon Kawali sisig plate and the chicken inasal plate. Both were very tasty and flavourful. The venue is pretty and the service was a 5...they were attentive and friendly.“

“great Food.. Great staff the all day breakfast is divine...“

“chicken and pancit, they are so good“

“Good tasting food and good price, friendly people and good location 😀“

“Really, really like this place. They were just exceptional when they first opened. The portions have gotten a little smaller, and the food has become a little less seasoned and a little more dry, but there is still no other restaurant in the city that can match what they’re serving. So far, this is still a good restaurant I would happily go to.“

“This is a fantastic Filipino grocery store in Parkdale that also offers delicious prepared Filipino foods. The dishes are authentic, flavourful, and incredibly affordable — perfect for a quick meal or takeout.

The staff are warm and welcoming, making every visit feel like you’re part of the community. They recently moved from down the street, and their new space is such a wonderful addition to Parkdale’s growing food scene.

A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Filipino cuisine in Toronto! 🇵🇭✨“

“Excelente finish pinoy food“

“Best Authentic Filipino dishes..“

“lami ang chicharon ug barato pa“

“We recently hired Mayettes for our small gathering, and they exceeded every expectation. From the initial inquiry (3days before) to the day of the event, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional. Tita was accommodating with our requests, helped us refine the menu to fit our guests’ needs, and made the planning process surprisingly stress-free.

Aside from the professional and friendly service, the real standout was the food—it was absolutely delicious. Each dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and served at the right temperature. We had guests that commented on how much they enjoyed the food and asked where we ordered from. We ordered the Beef Steak (with lots of sweet onions), Chicken skewers, Pancit with lots of veggies and Chicken Lumpiang Shanghai with just the right amount of sauce!

It’s rare to find a caterer who delivers both exceptional service and incredible food, but Mayettes did exactly that.

We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who truly goes above and beyond. We’re already looking forward to working with them again in the future.“

“We ordered the lechon for a baby shower and it was the absolute star of the show. The crackling skin was the first thing to go—it was perfectly seasoned and stayed crunchy for hours. The meat was juicy, fall-off-the-bone tender, and infused with amazing aromatics. Excellent service and even better food.“

“I celebrated my nomination last night in this excellent restaurant. happy to tell that it was a sensational evening and the place was clearly one of the reasons for this strong gathering. The waiters cooperated in a gorgeous way, the food was appetizing and my friends were extremely overjoyed. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. thanks very much.“

“Still the best lechon for me. We’ve been coming here since the 90’s. Even when I lived in Ohio for 20 years. Still go there now that I’m back. Too bad that mang Bernard’s health has not been good due to age at 91 and bad health for a long while now.“

“Staff are so hospitable.
Free ice cream for my kid due to her recently dental appointment.(she is starting to cry coz of too much pain)
Ms. Kristine is very generous to gave us on the house.

Food is great i ordered lugaw with Egg
And a plate of Spring Rolls.

Plating is presentable, Food is great i recomend definitely bring my Asian Friend to try Filipino Menu.“

“Friendly staff, authentic food & quality“

“Authentic Filipino dishes to go. Giniling, BBQ pork or chicken skewers, caldereta, menudo, bicol express, mongo, lumpia….a must-go in this North Scarborough neighbourhood when I crave my mom’s home cooking. They also have desserts like kucinta and hopia. Ang sarap! Very friendly owners too!“

“my family has been going here for 15 years. I tried all their food and they’re very good and tasty. The best one I’ve tried today is Bupis! I love it. I wish I can have all the food, but I can only buy two or 3 Arrizcaldo is also the best. It’s a very cosy place you need to eat here. Try it you want regret it and also the price are less expensive than the ones I went ttoo Have fun eating..“

“I’ve been waiting for good elevated Filipino cuisine and it’s finally here! Traditional ingredients and flavours mixed in with modern twists. All the plates were surprising yet nostalgic at the same time. Dishes were served by the chef himself too. My only critique was the crispy pata skin was a tad tough but this is an easy fix. As a Filipino I’m glad to see our cuisine highlighted in fine dining. Can’t wait to see more from Kusinero.“

“The food was 100% legit. The two ladies working today gave great service. They answered all my questions and made me feel right at home. The Adobo chicken and chicken liver were so good. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes.“

“Great food at J&J Kapuso, excellent kalderata and pork barbecue.“

“Shits bussin’ mayne. Silogs bussin’. Tortas bussin’. Sinnys bussin’. Spaghettis bussin’. 🚨🗣🚨🌊🌊🌊“

“This review is for their catering services… everything was professionally prepared, complete with sauces and the food was all fresh and tasty, everyone loved it so much. Besides all these, their prices are very reasonable. We are very satisfied… highly recommended!“

“Popped in here randomly for a quick dinner. I'm so glad that I did. It's a small family owned restaurant with a cozy vibe and a dining area. It's Filipino fast food.I tried their lomi soup and it was freaking delicious. Easily made my top list of soups. It had lots fried meat toppings, fish balls and thick noodles. The soup was thick, eggy and extremely tasty. For $10, the portion was generous.I will be back!“

“Came in here after a long day at the Toronto Zoo and was so pleasantly surprised! This is a hidden gem of Filipino food! Prices are very reasonable and the food is very very amazing!!! Can’t say enough about the flavours!! Our server, Racquel, was super personable, knowledgeable, and knew how much food we needed for our party. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough. :)“

“I had a wonderful time yesterday at Kanto by Tita Flips! It was an honour to meet the owner herself, Tita Flips!!! They are so friendly, very accommodating, and the food was amazing!!! Thank you Riza, who took care of us. And of course Tita Flips, who came to see us before she prepared our 3 course meal. Highly recommended for those of you foodie peeps out there! Experience their delicious meals and the traditional Filipino hospitality first hand. I will definitely come back for more!!!“

“We hired Perlas de Pilipinas Catering for my daughter’s first birthday, and they absolutely exceeded all our expectations! From the very beginning, their team was professional, accommodating, and so easy to work with. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. I received so many compliments from our guests saying how delicious the food was, with many asking who the caterer was so they could book them too! You could really taste the love and authenticity in every bite. Thank you, Perlas de Pilipinas, for making our celebration even more special. You helped create such a memorable experience for us and our guests. I will definitely be booking you again for future events. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“Picked up a pretty big order today for a family celebration and there was so much for everyone to enjoy and take home. The chicken lumpia and pork lumpia were incredibly delish! And the Cassava dessert went very quickly - unfortunately I didn't grab a pic! The turon was perfect! Thank you!!!“

“They are very responsive with timely replies. I'm thankful that they are able to accommodate my rush order. The ube macapuno cake was heavenly divine and they added my customized message on the cake too. I would definitey recommend buying from them 💯“

“This by far is our favourite bakery for their pandesal, ensaymada and pandecoco. They also have monay, bread pudding, macarons, ube and mocha cake slices, also kakanins like puto, kutsinta, biko, sapin-sapin and buko pies. In the summer… their halo-halo is to die for. Order it with ice cream on top and you would be gushing after ‘cause it’s out of this world! Go and check Baker’s Best, and you’ll be back over and over again!“

“generous portions, delicious, & delivered meals were well-packed. will order again! 🙂“

“I found this wonderful place on an app called ( to good to go )

“Good service ,and Friendly staff“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“quality food .... made with perfection“

“I've been getting food here for the last 30+ years of my life. What I love as an adult are their convenience packs of pancit, longanisa, adobo, beef steak, chicken skewers, kaldereta, and other dishes my wife loves. Just warm it up and serve over rice!

I rarely give 5 stars, and one of the reasons I give Marcys 5 stars is the wonderful hot table! Great selection all around, and I'd suggest the pork or chicken skewers. Tita Marcy, her husband, and the staff have always treated us well. They are awesome people! I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Great bands, great singers, friendly staff, a great night out.“
