What a wonderful surprise this restaurant was ! I went here with my family to celebrate my birthday. My partner is Filipino and so it was important that the food was authentic and it really and truly was. We tried a lot of different items including the Lumpia, BBQ Chicken on a skewer, BBQ Pork on a skewer, Kalbi, Pancit and all of the desserts and everything was amazing. The service was quick and friendly. The crowd was constant, clearly a popular choice. If I were to change one thing it would be the dish used to serve the Halo Halo (shaved ice dessert) ... The dessert itself was wonderful but the custom is to start by mixing it all up when it arrives at the table but the glass milkshake dish it was served in was filled to overflowing so you could not mix it up without spilling it all over the table. But what a terrific restaurant this is !
Parking: Yes you DO need a reservation on a Saturday night
Loved this place! Food is amazing and staff super nice. There's also karaoke which makes the place super fun.

Had a lovely dinner here.
Dined solo on a Friday night at 1700hrs, there was a lot of available seating. Got a little full towards 1800hrs.
Great menu. I ordered a couple apps but if I was more hungry I'd love to try their prix fixe option!
I love calamansi and they have a few drinks with it. The calamantini was great!
Regular lumpia and lechon wings were delicious! Don't worry, they weren't very spicy. Fries were so crispy!
Beautiful decor. Friendly and cosy atmosphere. Easy to find. Street parking (paid and unpaid) available. Easily seats 1-4 and parties of 6+ look like they could be accommodated too if they combined tables.

Absolutely amazing food! One of the best filipino restaurants here in Toronto. I will definitely go back here.
I recently visited iSLAS Filipino BBQ & Bar in Toronto, and it was an unforgettable culinary experience! From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. This is the go-to spot for anyone wanting to explore authentic Filipino flavors with a modern twist.
The restaurant is vibrant and lively, making it a perfect spot for a fun night out with friends or family. Plus, the prices are reasonable, especially for the quality of food you get.
If you're looking to dive into Filipino cuisine in Toronto, iSLAS Filipino BBQ & Bar should be at the top of your list. I'll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommended!

Went to dinner here with my family and had the best time! I enjoyed all the food, and they let my dad and i karaoke the whole night! Hope there will be more shareable options for the main dishes like a filipino house hold☺️ but overall, highly recommend! we woll be back!
Had an amazing experience with my family! Friendly service, elevated filipino dishes & a great atmosphere! We also enjoyed their karaoke machine! My fave dish was the KareKare - it was so peanuty with a great smooth bagoong flavor! I’ll definitely be coming back! My only recommendation would be to offer servings for groups instead of individual servings. The individual servings is in the middle of too much for one person, but also too little to share with a group - so maybe creating a group serving would be great since filipino families love sharing :) Regardless, it was 5 stars for me!

The food here is absolutely incredible. I just attended a catered event and my husband and I could not stop raving about the incredible flavors, the creative display and the juicy shrimp, moist and perfectly flavoured chicken skewers. The lettuce wrap, noodles and rice pilaf were a slam dunk. We are already making plans to visit the restaurant soon :)

My new favourite restaurant! From the minute my friends and I walked in, the staff were friendly and throughout the night the staff ensured my friends and I were satisfied with our experience there. You can also tell that all the customers were either returning customers or new customers that will be returning back. The food was delicious, we had kare kare bagnet, chicken bbq, ukoy salad, and cassava cake. If you want to have good time and good food; come here!
