The ambiance is comforting and tastefully decorated with different elements of Filipino culture. It's also very clean and the service is excellent. The waitress asked if it was our first time at Junior and explained the menu. The bistek onglet was a 5 out of 5! It's not like the traditional dish but I love how they added their own flavors and creativity, such as the chimichurri and a bit of sourness to the sauce. The beef just melts in your mouth! They added uniqueness to each dish on their menu and it works in their favor. Overall, if you're looking for delicious, elegant Filipino food, this is the place for you. Highly recommend!

If you haven't tried Filipino food realize it's unlike most anything Asian you will find. Lots of dishes revolve around pork and they also love their seafood and fish! Another difference is Filipinos love the condiment mixture of soya sauce and vinegar. For selection of menu offerings it was upon the recommendation of a good Yelper Charles that we try out the noodle dishes. I coerced the fellas I was with to give the sizzling sssig a go and it was the highlight of the night. Ssssig is a mixture or pork jowl and liver with other not as eaten pork bits chopped up into smaller bits and seasoned with lemon and spices. It's a delectable delight. The other dishes we sampled were the regular pancit bihon which had a mixture of fish cake vegetables and some tender lechon (grilled pig). The pancit was very solid also. The last dish we had was the palabok pancit. This is a seafood pancit (noodle)which is done differently depending on the chef. I've had it before very strong seafood gravy before (made by Filipino friends relatives) and this version was milder served here. It was good but not as amazing for me. The inside setting is very casual. Lots of Filipino families and others watching TV in Tagalog at the picnic type tables. Chowing down and enjoying a meal or snack. The inside decor is lots of wood. The restaurant is simple unpretentious. Don't come expecting much. The food is out of this world.

No other clients were in sight during my stay and didn't see any as I passed by to go back to the car an hour later. Not really a great sign. The other location we tried after had non-stop clients coming in and out. I did try out their beef and pork stews (literally everything else I wanted was "out") and they were decent. Beef was my preference. Pricing was quite affordable.Service is helpful. I'd see this place more of a quick lunch option if you live/work in the area. I'd pass by again if it's around that time as I don't understand why they stay open with more than half of the canteen being empty.

I ended up going with the beef stew, pancit bihon and tried their palabok pancit as well. The real hit was the beef stew. Rich and fall apart tender. The noodles were just average and nothing to tender wanting to come back to hit up. The food here is good I just believe there are other options in the neighbourhood which are far superior!

If you haven't been, or have been disappointed by other Filipino restaurants, this place will give you a change of heart. In one word: amazing !

Oh man, what a pleasant discovery! From the sweet, smiling and helpful waitresses at the entrance,…read moreall the way to the clean bathrooms and then back in between with the unique Filipino food, this place defines the term "hidden gem"! After bookmarking it months ago, I finally dropped by to verify the hype and also because every once a while your body tells you to have something different from the 5000 regular choices out there. Filipino food happens to be on my rare list because we do not have many choices in the city and the ones I've been to, weren't anything much to rave about. This place changed the game for me for that cuisine. Surely it doesn't look much from the outside. Located in a shopping outdoor plaza and easily missed while driving by. Once inside, it's a different welcoming world. Contemporary, elegant yet casual decor with a hint of "hey come on in, this is our home, not just another restaurant" versus the usual "Just eat, gimme your money and lemme see your backside soon please" kinda attitude. Well hell, Bingo! That's what I mean. Give that waitress a cookie and an extra star just for that! The name is Angela btw. My first dish here was the Pansit Bihon. It was a day where I wasn't craving red meat so had this on a Saturday for lunch. It hit the spot and more with the added fish sauce and a few squeezes of lemon recommended by sweet Angela, who's the daughter of the owner by the way. Also worth noting at this visit that I asked for a sample of Sisig just to test the waters and make a comparison with another place I'd had that with a major disappointment in the past. After finishing my sample, I was surprised with the super tasty, tangy delightful taste. Couldn't contain myself so told Angela how much I liked it. At this point she said this dish is their specialty and also her mom comes from the Pampanga region where Sisig is originated. Cool! Guess what's my next main dish will be on my next visit. I returned the next day Sunday to give their buffet a try and get well acquainted with Filipino food. This is held from 10-2:30 on Sundays only and the menu rotates every week. If you're fussy about your food, better call ahead and find out what's on the menu. You can do so on Saturdays also if planning to go there for next day buffet. Again, everting from A-Z was super good. 7-8 dishes every time to savour. Really delish, fresh and very light on the stomach. My personal favs were the Misua soup, fried Tulingan (fish), Pork Adobo, chicken Caldereta, and of course a new discovery called Pork Dinuguan. Mouth is watering as I'm writing these. Thumbs up... all the way up up! Excellent job guy! Oh, and try their Ginataang Munggo, a red bean pudding dessert. Mmmm!! Some side notes, they don't have license for alcohol yet but they accepted my suggestion to have a BYOW at least with a smile and said they'd look into it. Other than that, nothing negative to report and I'm very happy to add this place to my "Top Picks" bookmark. Check it out. Cheers and bon appétit :)

They come with your choice of seafood, meat or a mix depending on your choice. The presentation is really unlike any other restaurant I've been to! Both meat and seafood dishes were really great! It's recommended for two people and it's a fair portion and fills you up since it comes with a lot of rice. You could also add a side to share if you wanted. I recommend the sisig which has chicken liver, making us hesitant to choose it at first but we weren't disappointed!

Many of these items I grew up with having many friends from the Philippines. So hanging around their houses I was introduced to lots of Filipino food at family functions. Filipinos love to cook and they love to share their food! In the summers and for big events it was whole roasted pig (lechon), kare-kare (oxtail in peanut butter) , pancit (their version of mixed-fried noodles in many forms my favourite palabok), lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) even diniguan (pork blood stew). I could keep going on and on but I'm not here to go on forever about how fantastic their food is! For bakery items my faves were siopao buns (a Filipino version of the steamed Chinese char siu bao) and ensaymada - a very delicious sweet bun. Seriously people.....I was able to find a freaking amazing bakery that does two of my favourites. For siopao they have chicken and pork Asado. Fantastic for me to bring home and freeze and then bring them out and microwave for a minute to eat fresh and delicious! Their ensaymada are so light and fluffy and the butter and sugar coating is sinful. I did also see they also had some (Ube) purple yam filled desserts that I will have to try also. Filipinos are as crazy about their Ube as they are about halo-halo. Many other fantastic bakery items I picked up a dozen siopao and 4 sweet buns. Definitely I'll be back to sample other items. The siopao and ensaymada were both amazing. Salamat at sa iyo para sa mga mabuting pagkain ako dumating muli!

I'd grab a few again when I'll find myself in the area! They're well priced as well.
