Wilson’s Haus of Lechon - Scarborough Branch

🌟 Honest Review of Our First Visit 🌟 Hate to say it, but our experience had a lot of ups and downs — with the food, the service, and the overall management of the place. It was our first time, and we were really excited to try their buffet with unlimited lechon. Before going, we called ahead to confirm — and they told us yes, it’s available, with a last call at 8 PM. They said it’s $21.99 for the buffet and just add $10 for unlimited lechon. We arrived around 2:00 PM and asked for the buffet + unlimited lechon, lechon kawali, and pork BBQ. At first, they said only the regular $21.99 buffet was available, and no lechon. The person serving the meat told us repeatedly that lechon had to be ordered as sides. We insisted that we called first and even showed them the promo from their social media. Eventually, they honored the $31.99 deal — but it was shocking that the staff didn’t even seem to know their own menu and promos. ✅ The buffet food was actually really good — solid 4.5/5. ❌ The lechon was disappointing. The meat was soggy and flavorless. The skin was rubbery, not crispy — honestly, like chewing gum. We didn’t even eat the skin, which was sad since lechon should be their specialty. ✅ On the other hand, the pork BBQ and lechon kawali were both really tasty. I even ordered another round of pork BBQ. But then came more issues… The staff didn’t realize we had the unlimited lechon option. I had to explain it again, and after a bit of back-and-forth, they agreed. But we still waited 15+ minutes and no food came, so I just grabbed soup instead. While we were there, we also noticed issues with other customers — twice, different people had problems with payments not registering in the system, even though they said they paid in cash. Around 3 PM, a new lady came in — taller, with glasses — and she was amazing. Super polite, fast, and she got our order in just 1 minute. One customer even complained to her about the lechon portion being too much for one person, and she handled it very professionally. 👏 Kudos to that lady — she really saved the day. I almost didn’t want to post this review because of her good service, but I also feel like people should be aware of what to expect. We didn’t go there expecting a perfect experience. We just wanted a good meal and decent service. That’s not too much to ask

I find myself missing the lechon from back home, and that's what brings me here to satisfy my cravings. Sadly, there have been times when I've been disappointed, as the pork lechon we've received has been cold and tough. Yet, despite that, I truly cherish the warm atmosphere and the friendly staff and owner here. It reminds me of the Philippines, and that's what truly matters to me.

Lechon is so salty - you won’t taste anything else

Customer service in this Filipino resto is the best. The owner addressed right away my concern. They even insisted to compensate me even if i did not asked for it. Authentic Filipino food specially the Lechon Baboy. I'm from Cebu and i can really taste the Authenticity of the Lechon. Thank you so much to the team and for the owner. God bless to you all.

Friendly staff and a good spread of breakfast buffet for the price of $22.99 + tax. Cola, Coffee and hot chocolate drinks are also included in the buffet. You can walk in but for a big group, you may call them for a reservation.

The buffet, unlimited breakfast items ($22.99) was not worth it…. Bill came up to $77 for 3 people… food worth about $25-30 max if you cook it at home.. very disappointing.

Limited choices, about 10, 3 options for dessert which was pretty much empty, and the quality of the food was subpar.

I would not recommend and would be hesitant to go back

If you’re looking for a different brunch place, check this out! This place was pretty packed for a Sunday morning. We had their brunch buffet and they did a pretty good job with the selection - tocino, tapa, hotdogs, longganiza, spam, eggs, garlic rice, etc... I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have the champorado though, however, they had warm pandesal. The buffet setup isn’t anything fancy and could use a bit of aesthetics. My uncle had his birthday here and he opted for the buffet upgrade which gave us a plate of bagnet, pork bbq, and unlimited lechon. So much meat!! And pork!! Soooo Pinoy and we loved it! There was even a karaoke stage ? After all the eating, we still ordered halo-halo and that was delightful ? The place itself was a bit too warm (needs circulation) so the cold dessert was a welcome treat. As for the service, they did an excellent job! As always, the Filipinos’ hospitality is consistently top notch. Always welcoming.

I recently ordered surprise bag from toogoodtogo, the original price was $24 and discounted to $9. When I received the order, I was shocked to find that the quality of the food was nowhere near worth $24, or even $9 for that matter! Bad surprise:( !!!! And the food are smelly. It’s my first to visit this restaurant and the last time.

Last Sunday our group had lunch at their Scarborough location, some of us ordered a silog and build-your-own silog meal, and one of our orders was missing eggs and one of our order we found a strand of something, at first we thought it was a strand of a hair, but when I show it to the lady who was serving us she said that it was a strand of the brush bristle that there used for cleaning or washing the pots, although she said sorry to us with what happens,
As a person who also worked in the food and hospitality industry for a long time, I know that there are some cleaning agents and materials that are not advisable to use coz they may cause harm to a person if they swallow or digest the foreign object.

I recently went to the all you can eat breakfast with my husband and baby. The server was very helpful - it is stressful stepping out with a baby, and the help was appreciated.

We got the unlimited lechon option.

Everything was great.

I ordered online for pick up and when I get there, the store is closed. I called the north york location and apparently the owner is out "running errands" and told me to come back 2hrs from now.I try to be patient cause I want to support my fellow filipino business. When I came back to the store 2hrs later, they are still closed when they should have just told me to cancel my online order and grab my refund in the first place rather than waste my damn time.
