Bought adobong mani with FV brand from Seafood City this past Friday. Tried it when we got to the hotel. It wasn't good. It tasted very bland and needed more salt. Maybe the way it was cooked also.Bought UBE CAKE this past Saturday to bring to a dinner, it tasted just okay. I like the spongeness but I was looking for more of the ube taste, didn't get it.The next day we went to the FV food store and catering off Lawrence again to bring goodies back to Ottawa. I saw another adobong mani but this time they had a spicy one. I decided to give it another try. They didn't have it in a smaller package so I bought one. We also got cheese bread, fresh hopia and siopao. Cheese bread was good and hopia were yummy.The SPICY ADOBONG MANI however was a huge disappointment! To think we brought all the way back to Ottawa. It was supposed to be spicy but it was not spicy at all. They did put some dried red chilis in it but it didn't do anything. We paid $8.99 for it...The 4 pcs of CHICKEN SIOPAO were $11. This one was a waste of money as well. Too much bread and it was dry with little filling. My children even complained (They know siopao coz I make them too!). The filling was just sweetened chicken and didn't taste like asado.STAY AWAY FROM: ADOBONG MANI, CHICKEN SIOPAOBuy: hopia, cheese bread

@Mel Galleon. My complain is the Lumpiang Sariwa sauce container. I like the taste of the sauce. That is why I keep on coming back. I can understand the price went up. The size of lumpia is big which is good. But the size of the tiny container of the sauce is so small, very little sauce for the size of the lumpia. Why not add more sauce and I will be happy. Thank you.

My husband bought rellenong bangus for christmas but we are disappointed coz it tasted watery and disgusting and it ruined our appetite. Reading some of the comments here it's true that their breads and cakes are moldy and expired and am talking here thru experience from the past. We will never ever buy their products again.

I am very upset and disappointed with this place. My boyfriend got me some food from here and I noticed that they only do two scoops of meat instead of filling it up like other establishments do. The price is $12 for this plate and does not reflect a proportionate ratio of meat to rice. It is way to expensive for the little amount that they give you, I honestly feel scammed. Do better or people will take their business to other restaurants.

I thought of supporting Pilipino business but everytime I try some of their bake stuff I always get disappointed. This time their ensaymada with ube. It doesn't taste like authentic ensaymada. It taste only like ordinary bread spread with margarine and sugar and with small amount of ube (not sure if it's real ube). Price is not cheap either.

Buko pie has molds in it. Didnt expect it from one of the famous Filipino restaurant/store here in Toronto. We called them to ask if they can resolve the problem or what but they only gave us one answer na they cant do anything kasi wala daw po yung manager nila. I just hope the Toronto Public health will conduct a surprise visit to check all their products because clearly they cant do it by themselves. Now we also have doubts to eat the lechon kawali that we ordered thru uber eats together with the buko pie lol. So dissapointing and Disgusting!!!!!

I bought these today, ate them in the dark, and couldn't finish because of their strange taste. Upon returning home, I discovered they were moldy. Selling expired food is truly disgusting.☠️☠️☠️???

Visiting Toronto is another story, and explore each areas is another story and we were hungry looking for restaurant and we came across this Filipino Restaurant and grocery store , we came during the weekdays and not much. People around and beside it’s 3 pm when we came and eat, There’s not much varieties mostly. Meat and less vegetables but that didn’t deter me not to eat. So we ordered Lechon kawale - deep fried pork belly, Beef steak, adobo chicken, egg roll, and Pancit. lug lug and also ordered Halo-Halo Desert it’s an ice shave mixed with. Lots of good stuff, and I’d say that it is not too bad, you should try it if you are visiting Toronto

This is the closest FV foods in my area and I love coming here specifically for the hot food section! Their must-try’s are the Laing and their Lechon Kawali!Came by around the afternoon, they’re never really busy because customers usually come and go, and their service was okay, the food was great, and the products they sell vary between frozen Filipino goods and specialties like snacks, Filipino-imported products, and their very extensive bakery items! One down side is that inflation affected most of their products as well and it pretty expensive, but nonetheless, its worth it.Would recommend this location!
