kimayan Kamayan Feast (for 2)
Samantha C.

oh my goodness this place is amazing!!! love the warm ambience inside, with welcoming and attentive staff. i love this unique dining experience, with unlimited garlic rice and we got the $25 kimayan feast. dining with our hands was fun as well. milkfish was seasoned well. pork skewers were so yummy. such a delight here.

We always come here for their Kamayan Feast (also known as "Boodle Fight"). This is the Filipino way of eating using only your fingers instead of a fork/spoon or a chopsticks. Everyone that I bring here (non-Filipinos or Filipinos alike) really enjoyed this way of eating. So kamayan is basically a communal feast where the food is laid out on a bed of banana leaves instead of plates and your eating utensils are your fingers. The food consists of unlimited garlic rice, seafood (grilled shrimp/squid/milkfish/tilapia, steamed mussels) meat (pork belly and bbq pork skewer), veggies (boiled okra/eggplant), mango salad and orange slices for dessert. The delicious food is full of Filipino flavours - salty, sweet and sour and price per person is reasonable. Staff are very nice and friendly and are always there to provide you with another serving of the garlic rice. Place is small but cozy and coming on a weekday means avoiding the craziness on a weekend visit. If you want to try ultimate finger food experience and enjoy a beautiful Filipino tradition, then Tinuno is the place to be.

I went here as a party of 4 with friends to try the kamayan feast here. This place was recommended by a friend from Toronto who said this is one of her favorites, so I do have to try it out. Reservations were easy to make even for large groups, but it is still recommended since the place is really small, at least in this original 31 Howard location. We also added pork lumpia and banana turon on top of it, which is not really necessary since the feast itself is really filling in itself. The feast consisted of milkfish, tilapia, squid, shrimp, mussel, pork belly, pork skewer, okra, eggplant, mango salad, orange slices, and most importantly, garlic rice. I have had a similar kamayan feast setup in NYC not too long ago that was really disappointing, so I am glad to try it again and had a nice experience for like 1/3 of the price here. The garlic rice is on point - very garlicky and al dente. I love the milkfish, pork skewer, and squid in the feast, but the rest of the meats were also really solid. The other vegetables are not really my thing, but they still pair well with the order. Lumpia is crispy so excellent, and the banana turon satiated me as a dessert. Service could be improved as barely anyone walks around or sees the dining area, but it doesn't dismiss this as a 5 star restaurant due to the quality of food.

This Filipino kamayan place serves various items on a big banana leaf, with a free flow of garlic rice. You don't get a choice of items but in return for giving up your autonomy you get many items for $25. Not everything was good and the portion wasn't huge but the variety was good and some items were good. They get 3.5 stars. Pork bbq stick & grilled pork were excellent. Milkfish was good - it was easy to eat with no bones, though on the saltier side. The vegetables were very plain & the squid & shrimp were alright. The garlic rice was quite fragrant but the flavour was less strong than it used to be.

Just had to try the Kamayan ($25)! Came by to pickup lunch, definitely will be back to try dining in. The kamayan comes with milkfish, tilapia, squid, shrimp, mussel, pork belly, pork skewers, okra, eggplant, mango salad, and garlic rice - mhmmm the garlic rice was *chefs kiss*. Everything was so fresh and delicious! The server was very friendly, and handed us our takeout boxes with care. I adore the decor of the interior, would love to dine-in next time.

Kamayan is such a fun meal to enjoy with a large group as it's laid out in front of you and you eat with your hands! I've been coming to Tinuno for years and at $25 per person, it's quite reasonable for what you're getting. I usually try to make a reservation, especially with a larger group, as the restaurant isn't that big and can fill up quickly. What we got: - Kamayan Feast (Tilapia, Milk fish, Squid, Pork Belly, Pork Skewers, Shrimp, Mussels, Okra, Eggplant, on Garlic Rice and with a side Mango Salad) Final Thoughts: Super fun meal that has a good variety and you can eat your fill as the mango salad and garlic rice are also refillable. It can get messy, but there are gloves for you to use if you like. Still a favourite spot of mine and i'll be back!

My first time trying kamayan or boodle fight. Everything was pretty good except the fish was a little over-cooked and dry. The garlic rice was amazing. The calamansi juice was super good and refreshing on a hot day. This is a foodie place, great for meeting up with a group of friends, but not romantic. If you are going for the kamayan, the more the merrier. Good service. we went early on a Friday night, no reservations, and didn't have to wait, but, it filled up fast.

One of my favorite places for kamayan feast!!! Tinuno is a hidden gem in Toronto, offering an authentic Filipino dining experience that's both delicious and fun. The Kamayan feast is a must-try, with a generous spread of savory meats, fresh seafood, and an endless supply of garlic rice. The communal style of eating adds to the experience, making it perfect for sharing with friends and family. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is lively and inviting. Whether you're a Filipino food lover or a curious newcomer, Tinuno is definitely worth a visit. Pro tip: Come hungry!

Roasted pork lechon
Leang E.

Inspired by my sister who was the first to tell me about the Kamayan feast that she had at a friend's house. I didn't even know a restaurant like this existed and so happy that Yelp was able to help me find one. We had reservations at 6:45pm for 3 with my coworkers who were happy to indulge in my eating escapades. We got there and we already knew that we were going to get the Kamayan feast and the pork lumpias. We also added the lechon roasted pork. Everything was delicious! There were a couple types of fish, squid, shrimp, mussels, grilled pork and barbecue pork, okra, eggplant. The garlic rice is so addictive. it was impressive that we practically finished everything. The only complaint is that the service was hard to come by.

I don't really go to a lit of Filipino restaurants simply because I grew up eating quality Filipino food. I had a few friends visit me here and they wanted to try boodle fight. My expectations were not high but for $25 each person, this was so worth it!! I wouldn't order anything else on the menu because you get a lot of food already and unlimited rice. I'd definitely bring a couple of people with you but not more than 5 cause there's not much space. The staff is much like any other Filipinos you meet, very hospitable and friendly. Dig in!

Ordered the Kamayan-style set with a friend and since it was just the 2 of us, we chose the milkfish. I really loved this experience because I got to eat with my hands LOL gloves are provided. The food was delicious but some were a bit burnt like the milkfish. It was a lot of food for 2 people and other reviewers mentioned there is unlimited garlic rice but this was not known for my party. Tinuno is a really small establishment and kind of a hole in the wall. I feel like there weren't really any tourists eating here - mostly locals. Took a star off because there was a very rude server who made eye contact with my party several times but purposely ignored our requests - such as taking our order, refilling our water, etc. She walked around with rbf lol

Kamayan for two people $25 each person
Bernard W.

If you've never had Filipino food this place is will make you fall in love. Me and my partner enjoyed everything. Line ups were quick and service was served in a timely manner. Price wise, it's $27 per person if you order their Kamayan and $25 each person 2 and up. Food was generous and made fresh. It's not a big place but big enough to feel it's not cramped. This will be my goto place when I'm craving for some Filipino food! Side note: there's no utensils so you eat with your hands (gloves provided) 4.5/5

An amazing restaurant with fast service and now that they remodelled a pretty cute interior this was my first trying kamayan barbeque and I can't wait to come back and try other places. I was really impressed by the portions and at $25 it's amazing value.

It is a popular spot. Cheap eats. Do not expect too much. The service was OK, the rice was OK, the pork belly was OK. The rest was bad.

Hanbingo - Blueberry and mango cheesecake bingsu cup

I am not kidding when I say this was one of my top 3 meals in Toronto. I know this is a shaved ice…read more/ specifically a bingsu place and I say as a big shaved ice fan that this is probably the best bingsu I have had outside of my Korea. Given that I have not been to Korea in approximately a decade (excluding the airport), it may be the best bingsu I can remember ever having. We got to try the matcha affogato, persimmon bingsu, and the injeolmi bingsu. I learned what an affogato was for the first time (they pour espresso into ice cream, so this was matcha poured into matcha ice cream) and that was yum but not what I would come back for. It also becomes soup lol. The stars of the show are the bingsu. In my many years eating shaved ice in various places, I have never had a persimmon bingsu and I am so glad that I got to try it. The persimmon flavor was light but delicious. Of the three other people here, this was their favorite. I loved this one but my favorite was the injeolmi - a lot of it is more milky because the injeolmi powder is at the top but I loved that. The texture of this bingsu was excellent - we all marveled at it. The cornflakes throughout were a stroke of genius. I love this place and lol I am not kidding, this place might be the reason I plan my next trip to Toronto. I am half kidding I guess but it would very much be a factor. Run, don't walk to this place.

Tried binshu for the first time. The way it was describe to me is it's like shaved ice but from ice…read morecream. It's condensed milk with shave it. And you add topings. I tried the melon one. It was refreshing and the melon were fresh. I'm not a big fan in the end, but still good. My girlfriend took mango cheesecake one and she really liked it. There's is also drink and many from current or past scent like ive concert and BTS. I would like to try one of their drink next. As for the size, you can get them in cup or bowl. The bowl are huge, easily shareable by 2 to 4 person.

One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
