“Breakfast is amazing and just the right portion. Love the old diner feel the place has. Must go and check it out. They typically close at 4pm and closed on Mondays.“

“Yes 100% recommended 😋😋🤤🤤“

“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💕“

“Found a hidden gem.. we enjoyed our first visit today with the family..definitely will be back for more. Tried a few other Filipino restos but your food is unbelievably delicious,ambience, hospitality the best! Michelin please meet Ariel of Lakay Kusina!!“

“a taste of Filipino street foods anyone will surely like“

“I must say the 1st thing I noticed is the welcoming faces of the 2 servers (forgot to ask for their names) I like that, they even gave my friend one of the jackstone that was only meant for display.
The ambiance was great, decorations were not overwhelming, simple but it brings memories from back home. It’s a great touch.
Food was ok, it’s satisfying, the portion is good enough to fill you up, just not enough flavour for me.

I will go back and give it another try, maybe a different dish will change my perspective.“

“Amazing service and great tasting food!!! Definitely recommend for catering events. Friendly, organized, and value for the money! Filipino food at its best!“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“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 ✨“

“The Feast in the Box exceeded my expectations. I had placed a phone order and am I ever glad that I did - that place was slammed which is a testament to their business and the food hall in general. It was ready as soon as I walked in and I was pleasantly surprised when I went to lift the very hefty box. When I got home, I was pleased by the perfectly cooked eggs (runny egg yolks make a great sauce) and the delicious variety in cooked meats. It served three very hungry people with a bit left over for lunch tomorrow. Portions: great; flavours: great; service: great!“

“Sep/2026: This is the one restaurant I can’t miss while in Toronto! Excellent food and great service as always! Kamayan feast still same price as last time ($25 per person)

2024: Best Filipino food in Toronto. I live in BC but don’t miss a visit every time time I’m here.
You get great service and food. I always get the same: Kamayan feast! Delicious.“

“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. :)“

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

“chicken and pancit, they are so good“

“Nephew put me onto this, HOLY GAS ⛽. As my nephew would say “Shevon Williams tripping dawg this was FIRE 📌 👀.” The wait staff with glasses was so handsome and nice it brought a smile to an old ninongs face. 🫨“

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

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

“Excelente finish pinoy food“

“Best Authentic Filipino dishes..“

“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.“

“amazing food from amazing people“

“The bao was soft and fluffy. Friendly staff. Nice booths for dine-in.“

“lami ang chicharon ug barato pa“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is a small dine-in and takeout Filipino restaurant also known as a carinderia. They always have a good selection of dishes for reasonable price. I recommend their Bicol express, chicken adobo and turon for desert.if you feel adventurous try their Laing see photo.“

“Absolutely loved my experience here! 😊

The service was fantastic. The server was attentive and actually checked on us throughout the meal, which made us feel very welcome. While waiting for our food, they even offered us a delicious soup such a nice touch!

The food was delicious, and the portions were generous, especially for the price. Honestly, what more could you ask for? 😊

I especially love ordering from their silog menu, and their dinakdakan is also really good! Their palabok and pancit are delicious as well. There are so many good options to choose from.

Definitely a place I would recommend if you’re craving delicious Filipino food with great service and good portions. 🇵🇭❤“

“Friendly staff, authentic food & quality“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 little Filipino takeout spot on the Scarborough–Markham border is one of my go‑tos for party trays. The plaza has tons of parking, though it can get busy depending on the time. The staff are always super friendly, and the menu is huge — you can walk in or call ahead.

If you’re ordering a party tray, I definitely recommend calling. My forever favourite is the Shanghai Pork Lumpia — crispy, addictive, and always a crowd‑pleaser. A great spot for tasty takeout and reliable trays for any gathering.“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“I found this wonderful place on an app called ( to good to go )
What amazing food and loving people so welcoming as it was my first time trying to place i am so happy to have discovered tagpuan
You must try you will not be disappointed“

“I went late so there was not much selection left, as expected. The food was tasty but very pricey compared to other Filipino places I've been too.
The Kare-Kare was good, the halo halo didn't disappoint, but the Turon was the best I've had. I must try!
Would still go back to try other items.“

“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!“
