Filipino Restaurants near East York, ON

“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!“

“Friendly and delicious lunch💕“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“La.Paz batchoy is soooo yummmyyyy“

“My family and I, went to Bangku for lunch as it is my Mom's birthday. I was born here in Canada but this place makes it feel like I was born in the Philippines. We ordered three different dishes and everything was cooked fresh and made to perfection. We received large portions which made our money's worth! Customer service here was top notch and everyone was so nice. My family and I will certainly be back at least once every week! Definitely a 10/10!“

“chicken and pancit, they are so good“

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

“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! 🇵🇭✨“

“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.“

“Excelente finish pinoy food“

“Pastries are so tasty and fresh“

“Best Authentic Filipino dishes..“

“amazing food from amazing people“

“If you’re looking for some of the most authentic Filipino cuisine in the GTA, Kiko’s is a must-visit. This small, humble spot at Wilson and Bathurst serves food made with heart—you can see it in their presentation and taste it in the thoughtful, well-balanced flavors of every dish. Their cooking captures that perfect blend of “simple yet sophisticated,” delivering comforting classics with an elevated touch.

Portions are very generous, offering true “bang for your buck,” and the consistency of their food shows why they’ve been a staple in the area for so long. You might even wonder why they haven’t expanded, but it’s clear they value staying small to maintain the quality that sets them apart.“

“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.“

“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..“

“If I can give more star I would!!! JR lechon is by far the best lechon I’ve had outside of the Philippines. The team at JR Lechon was great; their communication and service is very professional. Every one at our party loved the lechon which was the centre piece of the event!!! Thank you JR lechon“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, authentic food & quality“

“Good Filipino takeout place close to Markham and Mcnicoll. Known for pre-ordering to takeout for parties and such. The Lumpia Shanghai is very good. The pancit bihon is also tasty. The bbqs do not have a lot of fat which is great. Masarap!“

“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!“

“Sisig is the best and a must try. We also enjoyed their lechon paksiw. Service was awesome from the staff, very friendly and accommodating. I also had some take outs of Spanish bread and empanada and can't wait to try it. I enjoyed my iced late too.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!!!“

“Reminds me of my mom’s cooking“

“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!“

“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 💯“

“Had dinner here tonight for the firat time and it was amazing food. So much flavour and the price of the buffet was very reasonable. Thank you for a great experience“

“The halo-halo is perfect... I love going to this place just for that. I don't see a lot food choices as other good Filipino restaurants in the area. I've known this place for quite a while. It is one of the Filipino restaurants in Toronto that is doing great.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

The were also super nice on the phone and very kind and respectful. Not only were they totally early and ready, the food was delicious!!!! I would easily order from you guys again! Thank you for making our experience a beautiful one. Salamat!!!“
