In general, buying Filipino food is a huge hit or miss - often you'll find it's an uneven…read moreprice:quality ratio where it's costly for something that doesn't even taste that good and you could probably make your own version better. I've had bulakenyos before I even knew who they were at least 10 times and let me tell you, their lumpia is probably the best I've EVER HAD (2nd to my dad's cooking of course). The meat filling they use is highly addictive, it has the perfect crunch, and it comes in the perfect size. I always end up eating a good 15-20 pcs per round but even then I keep coming back with future meals. My friends even buy in large portions and freeze to make sure they've got steady stock on hand. Something to know about this place is that they mostly do party trays. They do have a small counter selection of takeout food, but their main focus and menu is the trays. I also had a chance to try their sago't gulaman which is a traditional Filipino drink perfect for hot summery days made with brown sugar, vanilla extract, water, tapioca and gelatin (I always assume it's grass jelly). I thought it was a bit too sweet but the portion was great, so I can't complain much. During my first visit to their shop, we ordered ~5 different medium party trays to be ready for the next early afternoon. The portion they served us was huge and we ended up with a lot of leftovers (which means more for me!). Highly recommend others check this place out! I would say it's a sort of hidden gem.

It is better this way so that each individual ingredient can be shown clearly. On top of a bed of crushed ice and carnation milk, there are 9 different ingredients plus a scoop of taro ice cream and a cherry on top. It took 10-15 mins to make it. The customer service was good. The Halo Halo was good, but I thought it had too much ice. There is a stage right in front of the food stall. When we were they, there was a children's magic show. There is indoor seating, but it is hard to find a table on the weekends since people linger around longer, especially if they are watching a show. There is free WiFi from the mall. The place I'd wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms, and they are both wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in the mall's parking lot. Review 2023-359

Lakay Kusina is a small Filipino restaurant . I was searching for a Filipino restaurant in the GTA…read moreone day, and lots of YouTube videos recommended this restaurant. The current owner Ariel took over the restaurant from his uncle just before the pandemic. It's already a good sign to know a restaurant survived that -- it must have its unique advantages. My first impression of this restaurant was that it made me feel very relaxed, as if I was truly in the Philippines, or on a tropical small island. Its decoration and the way it displays the food are casual and even a bit shabby, but still make me feel very comfortable, just like being at home. The restaurant plays 80's, 90's music. I heard it has karaoke from time to time, I do want to participate in that ! It has all kinds of authentic Filipino food, but our goal is only the Kamayan - Boodle Fight. I looked it up with AI, Kamayan means "use hands to eat", Boodle is just a lot of food, Fight is because you need to fight for your food. This feast is very appealing. All the ingredients will be spread on the table which is covered by banana leaves. The ingredients are colorful, the main proteins are seafood, like squids and fish . With a lot of boiled vegetables on the side. The rice is garlic rice and full of flavor. The restaurant will provide you with gloves to let you eat them with your hands. You can eat them directly or with their special sauce. The food is delicious, but what really stands out is the memorable combination of visuals and flavors. If you've never tried a boodle fight before, I highly recommend giving it a try .

The menu is simple but offers enough variety that you'll definitely want to come back and try more. The service was excellent as well--staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. I tried the Ilocos Empanada and was pleasantly surprised--it was made fresh to order and packed with flavor. While waiting, you can enjoy a comforting cup of Beef Nilaga soup and sip on refreshing calamansi juice, which is such a nice touch. Overall, a really positive experience. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the Boodle Fight!

Staff are always nice, but I would say that service is slow. It took a while to get the servers' attention because the 1-2 servers were running around from table to table. Finally, we got the manager's attention as she was coming around greeting all the tables. During my last visit, my partner and I tried the Kare-kare dishes. We love how crispy the pork is, and paired with the peanut sauce, it was really good. Lots of tables inside and very spacious. When I had the kamayan, they accommodated my party of 12 people. The prices are pretty decent. Food is good and tasty, but we do wish that the food was hotter. Overall, we love Casa Manila and the food is always good.

The food took a while, we both ordered appetizers that didn't require any cooking and that took an hour. We got the cold sinigang and the mango salad for appetizers. The main was an additional 30-40 minute wait, this whole experience really tested our patience. We went at 2pm, hoping we avoided the lunch rush. We ended up asking for our desserts to go since we were there for more than 2 hours. The servers didn't explain to us why it was so slow. There were families waiting even longer than we did and they didn't look very happy. I wouldn't recommend this spot unfortunately.

I have passed by Edge BBQ & Grill at least once every week. It's on my way home. You know what's crazy? This store has changed names and hands over the years. It has always been a Filipino eatery. Lyle Foods. Honey's Kusina. LJ Kusina Express. And now, Edge. I was out and about on Tuesday. I wanted to fetch lunch from this eatery. I looked at my food apps. Edge was on both DoorDash and Uber Eats. I went with DoorDash, as I hadn't ordered from this app for months. I got these items: - Sago gulaman - Pancit mix (bihon and canton) I forgot that I had credits on DoorDash, which paid for my entire order. Nice! I got an estimated time of fifteen minutes for my order to be ready. It was enough time for me to drive over here from running errands. This eatery is in a plaza with a gas station and a bunch of eateries. I'm often here for bbq Chicken. I found a parking spot fairly close to the eatery. I backed into it and walked into the eatery. There are places to sit down and eat. It felt cozy. I got to take a few photos. Staffers were in the kitchen. I said hi to a woman coming out of it to help me. I let her know that I had a DoorDash order under my name. She seemed to not freely communicate in English. However, my showing her my order on the app helped her fetch the bag behind her. She was so careful with the sago gulaman, which was my drink. I let her know that I'd be careful. I thanked her and carefully left the place with my lunch. She was nice and said goodbye. I put everything safely in my car. I then drove home to eat. I took a sip of my sago gulaman. It was super sweet thanks to the brown sugar. I diluted it with cold water, which helped a ton. It had shaved ice, which kept the sago balls and grass jelly cold. The straw wasn't large enough in diameter get the sago balls through it. It's probably why I got a spoon. It was enjoyable. I may need to ask if I can get the brown sugar toned down next time. The pancit mix was excellent. It had thick (canton) and thin (bihon) noodles, with pork belly, cabbage, carrots, onions, and celery. The noodles were perfect. I loved the pork belly with crunchy skin and tender pork belly. The veggies provided a nice contrast with the noodles. I even found a snow pea or two. The portion was massive. I had half of it on Tuesday. I had the rest of it for lunch yesterday. It was yummy a day later. Thanks, garlic cloves! I'd like to give one of the all-day breakfasts (silogs) a try. I also want to try the halo halo. It's a great place for authentic Filipino food. I'll be back for more. (83)

The lomi was pretty tasty & had a lot of egg. It was a pretty big portion. The lumpia vegetable has pork according to menu (go figure). I didn't find any pork in it but it was cheap & not small. BBQ pork skewer was decent. Halo Halo (a shaved ice dessert) was ok. The ice was rather coarse. There was a variety of toppings. The chicken wings were dusted & were quite crispy but did not have much flavour. The wings were very small (Asian-sized). They were decent with the Thai sweet chili dip. The other sauce was vinegar.

For food, we ordered Siopao which resembles Chinese BBQ pork bun that you will find in Chinese restaurants. For drink, we had Buko Pandan and Taho.

It was warm, much to my surprise as I was expecting it to be a cold drink. The cashier was nice and explained what each dish was about. After we paid, we were told to wait about 5 mins for the food and drinks to be prepared. I wish they have stand-up counters since the food court seating is always full no matter what time of the day!

Tried a few things and there was more than enough food for 4 adults and 2 kids. This place has this Kamayan platter box that has good variety and is great for sharing. Will get to that later. Also this was take out so went to pick it up. First thing they suggested was the Caldereta Royale. This was a poutine but with stewed beef, carrots and peas and gravy. Quite tasty. Next we got a fried adobo chicken on rice also pretty good. Chicken was crispy and I was smelling it all the way home and couldn't wait to dive in when I got home. Now for the main, we ordered the Kamayan box that we saw on instagram. 5 different proteins, bed of seasoned rice, nice shrimps and fried eggs. Everything worked really well together. My parents were over and they ate with us, never trying Filipino food before. They loved it. The flavours and the sauce that came with it... Just delicious, and a must try. Food was more than enough for all of us, and I have left overs for lunch tomorrow. The staff here are super nice people. Patient with me as I couldn't decide what to order and through our great ideas. Also gave me something for free to try which was delicious as well. Would definitely be going back, amazing experience.
