Always greeting each customer, always with a smile on their face and in their voice. I definitely recommend this place especially to my non Filipino friends so they can see how great our food is. Not only is the food and service great, but this place is beautifully decorated, they have an open kitchen and it's super clean. 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 :)

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!

At best they can accommodate maybe 1 group. If you do come here in a groups of 4 to 8, you'll be perfectly fine. I tasted my first sisig and it was glorious. It was sizzling upon presentation taunting me to be eaten but to be careful.... or I'd get burned. Time are hard. I devoured this culinary delight before it fully cooled down. I've been craving to have another plate since my visit! We tried other plates as well, they were all tasty but failed to compare to the sisig! Lovely traditional plates. I also went with their mango bubble tea and quite frankly it was the best bubble tea I've ever had! I could have an amazing plate of sisig and a large bubble tea for under $15. This is insanely good. What a deal. What a great dining experience. I'm totally going to be back. Sisig, I'll be back. My love. My precious. My Sisig.

So we let it cool down and tried to heat it up and to our frustration, it tasted even worse and now plastic to rubber. It us now think if we really did eat real food.

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!

Went as a group for a friend's birthday and... we all ate too much…read more I've been here once last summer, with two other friends, and it was good then too but wasn't as good as this time. For those of you still on the fence, it is promising that this place is improving. This place is perfect to try if you've never had Filipino food before, some of the dishes are less traditional, some are more fusion. I appreciate the filipino accents in all the dishes. I wish there was a couple of dishes that include Bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) in a featured way and not watered down... Overall the menu will have something for everyone, fish, chicken, beef and pork all represented. On to the food: Ocotpus Kilawen: octopus is fresh, vinaigrette is tangay and lightly sweet, cherry tomatoes round out the dish, simple and satisfying. 8/10 Chicken Wings: coated with sticky sauce maybe honey? it's sweet and spicy, i think there's bit of fish sauce in there to balance it out, it's a nice touch. 8/10 Creamy Udon: creamy not too salty, a little spicy, nice dish. 8/10 Adobo beef short rib: comes with creamy polenta and fried broccoli, hearty dish. tasty but could use a bit more sauce. big portion. 8/10 Kare Kare rib eye steak: really the signature dish, beef cooked perfectly, nice Kare Kare sauce. Must try. 10/10 see you soon :D

Wow. First time having elevated Filipino food in Montreal…read more In true Filipino fashion, we came as a big group and they accommodated us so well. We ordered almost every item on the menu and were so thrilled with the dishes we got. Although all dishes were a modern take on classics, I really enjoyed the experience and felt like I was back home. Vibe of the place is cool and service was great. I wasn't a huge fan of the cocktails (too sweet) but the food easily made up for that. I didn't take pictures of everything but remember that We shared : - Beef sisig - 5/5. This was my favourite of the night. - Adobo beef rib. 5/5 Also just amazing - octopus ... super fresh and tasty with the kalamansi twist - bone marrow arrow caldo... I didn't think I would like this but it was so yummy. 5/5 - pancit - a bit bland 3/5 - cod Laing - this is fish on a Smokey coconut vegetable. It was amazing 5/5!! Will definitely come back!

Wow, I think I have just discovered a new favourite place to have Filipino food for delivery here…read morein Montreal! I ordered via Doordash, COVID-19 pandemic time review. First of all, look at the PORTIONS! For $11 you get to choose two dishes - there's a pretty great selection of comforting Filipino food from lechon kawali to crispy pata to dinuguan to laing to mongo - seriously, a lot of choices and I honestly only named a few of what you can choose. Once you've chosen, it comes with rice and a pop. Everything tasted super fresh and hot when I received it from the delivery driver. The laing was a side extra order for only $8.50. I couldn't make a dent on these dishes. It's so good and there is so much too. One plate lunch could probably easily feed two people. My favourite is the Laing - it's not something i have seen in other Filipino delivery places so I was so excited to try it. It was well worth paying extra and I have so much left for leftovers! Wonderful value for your money! I also ordered kutsinta. For $5 it comes with a lot of pieces and coconut shavings to put on top of it. It was also super delicious! Everything was wonderful! I will definitely stop by for dine-in soon.

Pad Kaprao (Vegan): stir-fried tofu and Quebec mushrooms with holy basil, served with jasmine rice. The waitress warned me that it was very spicy and asked if I wanted it less spicy. I said yes to that and it was still very spicy for me. Beware of the red chillies! The jasmine rice saved me! :P I would definitely visit again.

Luckily, a booth opened up within a few minutes for us which helped as we were going to try a bunch of dishes. Pad kaprao pork - simply put, awesome! One of my go to dishes when having Thai food back home or online BKK. Only complaint was that I wish the egg was served sunny side up instead fried to a well done. Pad pak boong pork - another awesome dish! Not sure how you can go wrong with crispy pork belly w/ perfectly sautéed morning glory. We did order this mild and it was still pretty spicy for me. Not sure why the rice served in Montreal is so wet. IIRC, the white rice at Pichai was also pretty wet. Ended up wasting almost the entire plate as it was so mushy. Gaeng massaman gai - the one dish that was just ok in my opinion which is odd since I usually love red curry. Not sure what was lacking but something was a bit off. Since the pad pak boong came with a huge plate of rice, asked the waitress to not bring another serving. Pad thai - pretty tasty and noticed almost all patrons ordering this dish. Wished I could've subbed the shrimp for chicken. Quebec lobster - this was one of the main reasons for dining here as I kept seeing IG posts about this. Sadly, this was a disappointing dish. The lobster really didn't have any meat and thought it was weird they served it with what tasted like salsa verde. Khao neeo mamuang - great way to end the meal. Perfectly cooked glutinous rice w/ an ample amount of coconut milk. Was surprised at how sweet the mango was. Almost as good as Mae Varee in BKK!! Would definitely come back the next time we are in town for the GP!
