I ordered the chicken inasal for dine in but it was served cold and clearly reheated. When I brought this to the staff's attention, they simply reheated it again, resulting in overcooked chicken. The lack of apology and poor customer service left me with a lost appetite. Considering the high cost, this experience was truly disappointing. read more

Bella's Lechon - Filipino Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered the boodle platter (set 2) $56.99 it has a pleasing arrangement, it included lechon kawali , a whole fried tilapia, chicken inasal, salted egg salad with tomatoes, pinakbet and mango salad on a bed of garlic fried rice. Good enough for 5-6 people to share. It even included a cup of soup that complimented everything. Overall was a good experience and will definitely come back. I've also tried their pork sushi and their famous lechon. read more

Good taste Garlic Fried RiceLechon KawaliBaby Squid good place, good services, and fast

We ordered a Kamayan Box worth 75$(cash) and ended up getting tiny pieces of shrimps, eggplant, squid tentacles and the rice was so dry. There was no bami noodles and bachoy soup as indicated in the package. The soup was made with chicken broth! Duh! The cashier was also rude and kept on calling us to pick up the food. She told us that it was supposed to be picked up at 11am! Even if we pick that food at 5pm, its our decision to make. You don't have the right to call us every minute to pick up the order. Instead of enjoying our day, we ended up having a bad day due to the harrassment of calling every minute just to pick up our food. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone at all. read more

The old lady server is very rude!!! A few months ago, a friend of mine ordered lechon from an app, but later on was informed that the lechon he ordered is no longer available, so he had to replace it with some other viand. When I picked the order up, I saw lechon on display. I asked why our lechon order was declined, to which the server said that there was no lechon at that time. What??? Hello!!! Its just been a few minutes from the time the order was placed to the time I arrived to pick up. I inquired if we can have lechon (original order) instead of the replacement viand. The server, almost shouting, said No!!! And she had a lot of other things to say in a rude and loud voice. My companion and I were taken aback. She really have issues to deal with. Today, we had lechon delivered, it's cold and isn't tasty at all. I agree with another yelper who said Bella's lechon has a 'malansa' taste. Will not order from this eatery again. read more

Hit and miss. Sometimes their lechon is amazing, especially if they gave you a part of the pig that has less fat and less gristly. Sometimes it's way too 'malansa'... and still taste a bit underdone..... would love to give a better review but like I said, it is kind of hit and miss for you to get good quality from this place. One thing I love about this place is that they make their own LECHON SAUCE. As in, you can taste the liver in it... you know that they make it themselves. read more

I agree with the other yelper: Lechon is a hit and miss. I had it today for lunch (Lechon platter) and it had the "malansa" taste. Also ordered the tocilog. It looked and tasted not fresh. It did not have the tocino taste at all. The garlic fried rice needs more garlic oil. It is too bad that the food I had today sucked. The service was attentive though. read more

We stumbled upon this little take out joint when we were out aimlessly looking for something "interesting" to have for a weekend dinner. I admit, we've never had Filipino food before so I'll start my review with that preface. The store was crammed with bakery equipment and 4 small tables and an older lady stood behind a hot table full of wonderfully aromatic prepared dishes. We had no idea what we were looking at and the lady behind the hot table offered us samples of some of the foods we were eyeing. We decided on a 2 item combo and a 3 item combo so we could try out a variety of things. I couldn't tell you what half the dishes we tried are called (refer to photos) but one thing that really stuck out was a dish called "Sisiq." It was wonderfully crunchy and savoury mix of roasted pork skin mixed with small amount of chopped vegetables in a well balanced savoury sauce. There was also a seafood dish of baby squid steamed and stir fried in savoury (almost squid ink like in flavour) sauce which was excellent. It seemed like the baby squid were steamed whole before being stir-fried which almost made the squids taste like they were stuffed. I could go on trying to describe everything we tried but it would simply take too long. I suggest you try this little take-out joint for yourself and I hope you won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back to try more! read more

See all

Our worst restaurant customer experience happened here at Bella's--totally rude and apathetic of mistakes they have made. We preordered 2 lbs of pork lechon 24 hours for a special occasion, in advance at the recommendation of the staff. 20 minutes before pickup time and day they called saying they forgot our preorder and ran out and did not offer any apology or restitution for their mistake. Terrible management and customer relations practices. We brought this up with their manager and have yet to hear from him/her. read more

I saw this place near my mothers house and very excited to try their lechon ! I placed an order through the phone for a 40 to 50 lbs lechon stated for 180 $ on their website but when I was talking to the lady she said it was 210 because the price went up. Regardless I still ordered their lechon for my sons baptism party and since we have visitors from Pittsburgh who are eager to eat one . We picked up the lechon at 630 pm . The lechon looks presentable from the outside . But when we cut to the inside part of the lechon , it was dry , overcooked , and it seems that parts of the pigs meat are missing . Not only that I feel so embarassed to serve that to our guest and family . And it seems that we felt the usual cheating attitude of some Filipino Businesses . Overpriced , Overcooked , Disgusting To all other patrons who's ever thinking of buying LECHON here . Please do yourself a favor and let a Chinese Lechon Bbq place make it for you instead. I'm not the type of guy who ever bad reviews but in thia case I just need to warn future Customers on their way of doing business and practices. Don't buy LECHON at Bella's Lechon ever read more

Avoid this Filipino restaurant. I ordered sizzling sisig that was served cold and not freshly cooked. The food ruined my stomach. The menu must have been on the tray for hours and the heating system was below the right sustaining temperature. Thus, if you don't want to ruin your stomach...avoid this fastfood store...they serve crappy food!!!! read more

Servers are rude we ate here one time it was supposed to be for take out but we decided to eat nalang sa place which i dont see anything wrong and then instead na paalis na kami magbabayad na sinita pa kami saying oh take out yan? Next time hindi pwede yan etc... and i dont know what makes things different read more

We ordered sisig and they told us it would be ready at 12:30. It was let ready till almost 2 pm and we needed it for a birthday party. The lady at cash didn't even care or apologize and was rude. I'll never go back there read more

I alwaus do take out or order ahead of time. One of the best sisigs around. It's not chewy and a perfect puritan with drinks and perhaps sisig fries . read more

Food is great and server was nice. Beware though, visitors! They don't accept US cards, make sure you carry cash and they don't convert so, 1 USD is 1 Canadian. read more

We always get our barbecue, lechon kawali and sisig here. Their lumpia is a bit expensive though. It is the best out of all the other filipino restaurants around Scarborough. The staff are also very nice. The price is also good. read more

I've been here several times over the last few years -- the lechon is what to go for, and it always helps to chat with the folks at the counter. Amazing roast pig -- succulent and moist with perfect crackling crisp skin. It comes with a great garlic sauce as well. I have found the other items hit and miss, but here's why it helps to talk with the staff and ask about the items that are unfamiliar. Blood stew, dinuguan, is worth trying at least once, and the lightly pickled fish, kinilaw, is great, though not always on the menu. There is only a small simple eating area, so I've always taken the food out. read more

I came around 1130 A.M for some early lunch on a weekday. For someone who is sensitive to salt, sugar, and oil in Filipino foods, I thought the boodle platter B was passable without feeling bloated or heavy from the get go. I've heard that the lechon was hit or miss, but the chicken, lechon, fish, pinakbet, mango salad, and salted egg combo was not too salty or too oily. The lechon was crispy and cooked well enough to not have the fishy or raw taste. It's a platter where each person can get 3 or more servings of rice. There were four of us that came and we still had so much leftover rice to bring home. The sago gulaman was too sweet for my taste but that can be easily fixed by diluting it with water. The soup that comes with an order reminded me of soup stock with extra scallions. If ever take-out is all you need, they're siopao was good, it comes with egg inside and the texture of the pulled pork mended ok with the bread. Price wise for the boodle B, which came around 60$, is good even with 4-6 people sharing the price and the food. You'll definitely be full. read more

Bella's Lechon - Boodle (platter) option B - Filipino Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ordered an 80lb Lechon not cut but the day we picked it up the lechon felt like it was 30lbs. When we arrived at our party we cut the Lechon and realized that there was barely any meat in the belly section of the Lechon which caused it to cave in. We were told at check out that even though it felt lighter it was because of the organs they took out. That was definitely not the only thing that was missing because all the meat was gone! I would definitely not recommend Bella's Lechon to anyone. I'm very disappointed. read more

Owners were friendly! Lechon was definitely pinoy style which is awesome! Food was great as well comparable to homemade cooking! If you are lazy to cook dinner, this is definitely your first destination :) read more

I passed by one day to buy lechon at Missisauga location. The owner himself prepared my oder and when I got home to eat the lechon I noticed that it was a mixture of deep fried prok and real lechon. What a cheap way of cheating customers read more

This is a review on the Mississauga location one. In the past my family has been ordering roast pigs almost yearly at a Portuguese place, but this year we wanted to try a Filipino place, to support our own. We ordered a roast pig for Christmas 2013 about a month before. We were excited to see how nicely done the outside was, but when it came to opening it up, we discovered how much of a crook this place is, the meat looks like it has been carved out! we paid nearly $200 for skin and bones! If you don't want to get robbed, stay away from this place! So sad. read more

I ate lunch here with my family and was not satisfied. The service was slow and disorganized. Their sisig was a disappointment, it was hard and cold. Some of the the pork barbeque were still pink. I only liked their sinigang na bangus. I'm probably not going to come back. read more

my friend ordered Bella's lechon for his daughter's bday. it was a big disappointment, hit and miss kind of thing. i wasnt around the time my friend ordered one so i havent mention him about my(-) experience with Bella's lechon. i could have sent him to one of the chinese bbq specialty restaurant. they ordered it and have it cut with extra charge....its better to order the whole lechon and not have it cut bec. you can see by the looks of the lechon if it is cook or not. the taste of the lechon is so "piggy"(me amoy)....in short, not recommended. read more

I am reviewing this place on the basis of food quality, location, and service. FOOD QUALITY- nothing special about their food.We tried a couple of dishes - adobo, lechon paksiw and sisig and were underwhelmed. Granted that all of these dishes are pork-based, I still found the food to be very greasy and not very fresh. LOCATION - the plaza itself is located along Morningside Avenue, just north of the 401. Several bus routes originating from Kennedy Stn, Scarborough Town Centre and points further west serve this location so it is fairly easy to get to. However, drivers might find parking a bit of a challenge because the plaza is occupied by numerous small businesses which tend to be busy. SERVICE - the person we dealt with wasn't particularly pleasant nor welcoming. We were planning to order a lechon and had a few questions for her. She seemed really put out and unwilling to answer our questions even though we were the only customers at the time. We decided to take our business elsewhere, since they didn't seem to want it. If you are looking for good lechon, you would be better off going to HoHo Chinese BBQ located at the southeast corner of Midland and McNicoll. The owners are super nice, the lechon is excellent quality and is actually less expensive than Bella's. read more

This lechonan place was recommened by a co worker since we are looking for a lechon for this coming Christmas, we already tried other stores selling lechon but mostly are chinese, so when we knew it was filipino style we opted to drive to their location, we bought 2 pounds of lechon but we didnt know which part of lechon was given to us until we got home to taste it before deciding if we will purchase a whole lechonfrom them we gather at the table to taste it but just upon opening the styro to reheat it there is already a smell but I still rehat it in the microwave since its not a spoil smell that I am smelling or ma be I just think na nakulob lang, so we put it the table, oh my you could smell the mix aroma of the lechon and the smell of guess what a urine smell we call it ma anggo , oh mapanghi, I am not kidding or sour graping about Bellas lechon since it was recommended by a co worker, I know the smell is foul since many told that it was smelly in a foul way, then it comes to my mind and give them a call and ask what part was given to us I did even told them was it pige part and the lady on the phone did confirm it, so i told them the problem, the lechon is not spoil in a way but its the smell of urine if you know where is pige part of the baboy you know what I mean. read more
