“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.“

“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!!“

“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“

“I came with friend to try the food on a recommendation from IG.
We had the Lechon Kawali sisig plate and the chicken inasal plate. Both were very tasty and flavourful. The venue is pretty and the service was a 5...they were attentive and friendly.“

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

“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. 🫨“

“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“

“lami ang chicharon ug barato pa“

“Tessie is such a Kind and Amazing lady. Very friendly! Tessie made delicious and exceptional food for my family party of 19 during the holidays. MANY Compliments delivered on her delicious dishes and desserts. Yummy. Thank you very much Tessie you went beyond our expectations. Much appreciation from our family to yours.“

“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.“

“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 had a fantastic experience at Kiko's Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was served hot and tasted homemade with high-quality ingredients. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a family dinner or a meal with friends. Great food, excellent service, and reasonable prices—I highly recommend Kiko's Restaurant and will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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 💯“

“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“
