My clan and I were craving some filipino food today. Went into Kalan to try it out…read more Upon walking in, my impression of the decor was exactly what one could expect from a small restaurant that was just starting out. A few tropical paintings here and there. Nothing too fancy, but it was very clean. One thing I absolutely hate about some places is walking into a restaurant and seeing dirty tables everywhere. Not the case here. Very clean place. Where this restaurant lacks in decor however, it makes up for in great food, plentiful portions, and suprisingly low price. Significant Other and I both ordered a 3 piece combo ($8.99). Which essentially gets you 3 side dishes of your choice (there are plenty to choose from!) and unlimited white rice. Service is extremely quick, as all the food is premade and put out buffet-ish style. Sort of like those food court chinese restaurants. Just point out what you want and they will plate it for you. Now dont go thinking, that just because its all premade, you wont be getting top quality food.. oh no.. if you thought that way, go ahead and give yourself a slap upside the head. The food quality is actually quite excellent. And again, you get MASSIVE portions. I ordered up some Lechon Kawali (deep fried pork pieces, skin on), Kare Kare (a soupy dish made with vegetables, beef, and peanut butter), and Calderetta (beef chunks adorned with potatoes and bell peppers in a gravy like sauce). Again, UNLIMITED white rice... so naturally, being the rice lover that I am, I went ahead and built myself a glorious mountain of whitey goodness upon my plate. The lechon was cooked just right, with the skin being just crispy enough without being too hard while still maintaining a tender juicy layer of meat beneath. The kare-kare was flavorful.. even more so with the bagoong (fermented shrimp) that was served alongside. Perfection. I'd imagine the Calderetta I ordered is of the same exceptional quality but as I've said... MASSIVE portions. I was already too stuffed to eat anymore. To sum up, Kalan has great value in that its only $8.99 for an amount of food that could easily be spread out over several meals. Service is fast and friendly. If you're looking for a place to leave you feeling satisfied in every respect, look no further than Kalan. *burp*

We were greeted and seated immediately. I ordered their tapsilog which came with rice, two eggs,…read moreand sliced cucumbers. The tapsilog was marinated really well and it was tasty. The garlic on top of the rice was an added bonus. It also came with a side of beef pares (not pictured). There are plenty of seats for large groups and for smaller groups.

When I come here I always order the Filipino Shawarma rice bowl with eggs instead of chicken, it is…read morethe vegetarian version and I love it so much! It has cheese and vegetables and a lot of rice with a creamy, sweet mayonnaise type of sauce on top of everything. It is so incredibly delicious that even though it's a very big bowl with a lot of food I just cannot stop eating it. I chow down and engulf the meal lol. I also tried the restaurant's chocolate drink that's kind of like Nesquik but it's called a Milo. It's pretty tasty. The entire staff is so sweet and helpful. I chatted with our waitress a bit and it just enhanced the dining experience knowing that everyone working there is doing their best to be a great restaurant team. My friend had the chicken and rice meal. He ate everything too and enjoyed it. Next time I stop here I am definitely going to try their cheese smoothies. Yummy!! I love cheese.

This past Tuesday, a friend and I went there for dinner before the Dasha concert down the street at the Park Theatre. The lone waitress shared that it was her second shift. The place was packed and we waited an eternity for our drinks, and what should have been an enjoyable dining experience ended up being a tense, unpleasant few hours. The waitress was not to be faulted at all. The management should have known to have another server given that a packed to the rafters concert was going on a block away. The food was great, but I will be hard pressed to go back there again.

My friend tried the interesting burger called The Oakwood Crown and Coke burger. He said the juice tasted like that popular alcoholic drink. He said it was pretty delicious. I tried the 2 egg Beet Latkes. It was unique to me. The beet cakes were tasty and that sauce that comes with it was delicious! The horseradish dill sour cream. I liked this healthy meal. The potatoes were also well made. The waitress was super helpful and sweet. This place seems welcoming to all types of people from what I saw. I definitely recommend this place.

Recently from Toronto and people have told me that Winnipeg has a really good Viet food scene (and…read morepossibly even better than Toronto). This was one of the places I was recommended to try out and was highly disappointed with the food. It tasted bland and I couldn't even find fish sauce anywhere in the restaurant. The Yakut drink was good but nothing special. I've been told that their Viet style coffee was pretty but unfortunately I visited this place during dinner time I would say that this place isn't an authentic Viet restaurant but a fusion one
