I came out here based on my co workers recommendation, located in heartland mall area its a select food cash out and wait for it to dropped on your table similar to Paramound restaurant. I ordered tupsilog $7.50 chicken Mami soup $6.50 halo halo $6.00 Sugo $2.50 and 1 bbq stick for $2 As i waited for my food, i ate the bbq stick and it was really cold they should heat it up before they serve it. The Tupsilog was okay the mear was over cooked felt like i was chewing on beef jerky. The quantity of the food was quite small for $7.50 Mami Chicken soup oddly wasnt dropped at my table i had to go to counter to get it. It taste really bland required a lil more garlic. Halo halo for $6 was quite over priced and it was okay but if theure charging that they should real ube and not ube ice cream. Sugo was very tasty and was worth the $2.50 price point. Overall ill probably come back here to try some other things seating is ample and the enviorment is nice. Hoping they get their things on point and i can give them more Kudos. This is a definite second visit in the coming month since its close to my work. MABUHAY!!!
Small Filipino restaurant with a variety of Filipino food items including baked goods and desserts. It's pretty much a self serve you pick your food, pay and they will give you a number and you pick it up when it's done. Their is a counter full of condiments from Patis, soy sauce, and vinegar. Their is also water that you serve yourself. Caution the floors get pretty wet so walk carefully. As for the food it was really good. See the pictures I took, it really satisfies your Filipino craving.
This place has the ingredients to become the go-to sit-down spot for Filipino food in Mississauga. It's clean, has ample seating, classy decor, and a wide range of options on the menu. It's a great spot to take your parents for lunch on a Sunday (which I did), and you wouldn't be the only one - the place was packed on a Sunday around 12:30 PM. Unfortunately, a couple of things are lacking. First, there doesn't seem to be any crowd-control mechanisms in place to control the lineups that form at lunchtime. While my parents and I came just in the nick of time and grabbed a table before the crowds started arriving, it doesn't seem like anyone is really around to inform incoming guests that it's an X minute wait for a table, nor is there really a place to stand wait, so people are left walking around and standing beside your table, hovering, watching you eat, and waiting for you to finish up. Secondly, their Halo-Halo (dessert) was a 1 star. I pretty much paid almost $7 for ice. Very minimal toppings, zero sweetness, and the toppings that did come with it were hard and frozen. The food itself was delicious (beef tapa was fresh, perfectly marinated and crispy, just the way I like it! Fried Food is my middle name). Although, for the price, at almost $8 per plate, portion size was very, very small. Aside from that, the food was great. Overall, if they could work on their desserts and their restaurant logistics, and you don't mind the price point, these improvements could really make them a decent go-to sit-down restaurant for Filipino food in the west end.
Okay, Mississauga is so multicultural yet I really only see chain restos, Chinese, Japanese and Indian restaurants and some Middle Eastern restaurants. Yet there are very few Filipino restaurants even though there is a huge Filipino population. This place opened up in the Heartland Town Centre food area (i.e. Britannia and Latimer Road). Decor: 3/5 - very clean and modern Service: 2.5/5 - I came here during it's first week and there were a few kinks, which almost had me running out the door. While the cashier was very friendly, I was very apprehensive when I saw someone cleaning the place with a mop at around 5:30 pm. I figure most cleaning should be done at around 2-4 pm, when it's not prime eating time. The second thing was that when I ordered a combo, it took the cashier a while to figure out why their POS (point of sale) device wasn't sending the order to the kitchen. She then had to be told since it was a "combo", there's no need. Despite these two hiccups (which would scare me off if it were a long standing establishment), the cashier was very helpful in explaining what everything was. Food: 3.5/5 - okay I don't remember what I ordered. I believe it was chicken and pork adobo and some type of pork "sausage" with rice. The adobo tasted like a sweet curry chicken, which I thought was okay. However, I really loved the pork "sausage". I wish I could describe or compare it to something, but I can't. It was a good mix of sweet and salty. In addition, the rice was very fragrant. Verdict: It's very different than Chinese, Thai, and Indian food. It's not spicy. But it has similar curries but sweet. Try it out. Seems like it's good for takeout and would be great hangover food too.
3 star rating just for food . As soon as you walk in its a state of confusion no one sure who's taking your order . I could not find a menu and stood there for 25 min waiting on spring rolls . I did see some good food being served . Also noticed some customers complaning about there food. Unless you know what your getting don't even bother . Or just order pork spring rolls like me they are good and cheap .
Building on what Bernie mentioned in his review, I'm amazed at the lack of Filipino food options in Mississauga given its high Philippine population. When I was younger, I would frequently visit Something Sweet 4 U's other locations to get small baked goods in bulk, such as their mouth-watering empanadas. They've now progressed and opened a full-scale restaurant in a strip-mall plaza littered with other food options such as Wild Wing, California Sandwiches, and Marble Slab Bakery. It goes without question that the restaurant is popular among the Filipino population, but to be truly successful, the word has to spread a lot further. Why do I believe that this won't be a problem in the years to come? Because their food is good. Really good. My first visit to the restaurant was at 9:00am - I was craving a traditional Filipino breakfast. Their breakfast offerings consist of a variety of dishes that end in "-silog". This is a portmanteau of sinangag (garlic fried rice) and itlog (fried egg). So basically, the way it works is you pick your meat to go with your combination of fried rice and egg. All of these breakfast combos are priced at $6.50. I had the daingsilog, which consists of daing (milkfish), sinangag, and itlog. I was highly impressed with the presentation of the dish (check out my pictures to see what I mean). The food was very good - pretty much exactly what I expected. Daing was nice and soft with a crisp outer shell, just the way I like it. Portion size was also great for a breakfast combo. If I had one gripe about my experience, it would be that their bottled waters are frozen and barely drinkable. Nothing terrible, but just a small gripe. I still wait for the day that Mississauga can boast higher quality Filipino offerings akin to Lamesa downtown and Casa Manila in the northeastern GTA. Something Sweet 4 U's newest location doesn't fit that criteria, but it shows that Filipino food in Mississauga is headed in the right direction.
I am a regular customer of Somethin' Sweet. (Just coz' its that one Filipino restaurant that in the centre/heart of Mississauga) I would say that their dishes are okay. Sizzling sisig was not listed on their menu but they have it if you order it. Good for 2-3 serving ($11+tax). But can get a bit dry. Their 'all day breakfast' menu is fair. I always order tapsilog and its a fair serving. But for $7.50? + tax? Other filipino restaurant like LunchBox in Brampton has more serving and tastes better for $5.50. Empanadas & halo-halo are subpar. However.. I LOVE THEIR KWEK-KWEK (quail eggs coated with sweet & sour sauce). Costs $3 for 6pcs.
I've had better filipino food. I ordered the garlic fried rice with dinuguan, chicken afritada and sago to drink. The food was disappointing. It was warm and not hot and lacked in flavour. I had to put salt and pepper in everything. The sago was the only thing that was good here. The place itself is very spacious and very clean. Love the colours and how everything is set up. Wishing I loved the food just as much as the space itself.
I came right after typical lunch time but also it was during a Tuesday of March Break. There were some people there, a few families, a group of construction workers, and a few mama types just hanging around. the place is a lot more modern than some Filipino restaurants I've been too in terms of design... Let's call it ikea chic with shades of eggplant on the walls. I was craving some traditional filipino breakfast and this time I got a tocinolog (rice, egg, and sweet pork) it came with Achara (I'd say it's Filipino sauerkraut but it's on the more sweet vs sour side). I added a halo-halo drink to it... The food was good, I was filled and had to force down the last bit but only cuz it was so yummy and I was taught to never leave food on a plate. I find it odd that the halo halo cost almost as much as a the main meal but the drink was ok... Compared to quiapo quiapo though, even though it was cheaper, the quiapo version was a lot yummier
going to keep this one short. my garlic rice was dry, like stale dry. The meat was cold when it was served to me, so not sure what the deal was with that. my meal in general lacked flavor. The best part of my experience here, was the look of the place. it had the cutest and most modern decoration I have ever seen in any Filipino restaurant, but other than that, I won't be back unless I hear there food is better.
Wanted some lumpia and this spot was recommended to me by a friend. Went to check it out and it's a no frills type of establishment. Looks kind of like a cafeteria style spot. I got the lumpia Shanghai that comes in 6 pieces and a sauce. It's pork spring rolls and they come in a small cute size, perfect two biters. Server was sweet when taking my order and asked me to take a seat to wait ten minutes or so while they fry it fresh. There's ample seating at the restaurant and they even had a robot waitress that goes around the restaurant delivering food. Overall, I loved the lumpia here and I ate so many of them before even getting home. Sweet and sour sauce that it came with was the perfect pair as well! Can't wait to be back to get some more next time. read more

Their staff was friendly. The restaurant was spacious and also had lots of seatings. I came here for their breakfast combos with my family. They serve your choice of protein with a big portion of garlic fried rice and a fried egg. We also got a vegetable dish and a pork dish from the hot table. The garlic fried rice goes perfect with any of your protein choice. We chose corned beef and adobo. The adobo was quite salty and the corned beed could use some more onions. The vegetable and the pork dishes were delicious. You have to come in early because the place gets busy on the weekends. read more
