Cathy Ortega & Gerald Aquintey didn't know what to expect after finally opening up a Filipino small grocery & takeout joint together. The shop was doing great but they wanted to do more. They wanted to give Toronto a much more authentic Filipino taste and experience without the price of a flight to the Philippines. Kamayan / Boodle Fight (the formality of eating with your hands) was the obvious solution.

    Everything was great! Glad this place was on Opentable- from out of the country and unfamiliar with the area. The salted fish breakfast was EXCELLENT. I’ve never had anything like that before but it was great!

    Excellent place for kamayan. Tables are small and can be cramped. Noise depends a lot on other patrons.

    We (Niece & I ) went around lunch had a 12:15 reservation got there 15 mins early and just asked if we could just sit at any spot lady said yes, it was cold outside early November weather hence why we just asked to be seated earlier we chose a seat & waited a good time before anyone came to us it wasn’t busy as others showed up after us got served first. We ordered The Kamayan Feast as usual w/ extra okra & 2 Green teas everything was great just a little lacking service with people coming to check to see if we needed anything and a few times we did needed either extra water &/or napkins and it was a little inconvenient to find someone to get there attention to get these things .. maybe I’m thinking low staff 🤷🏻‍♀️ all & all will keep coming back to this location as it isn’t our first times it’s close to home like 5-10 mins walk :) I just think they should give you more napkins for such a messy meal they use to give you a big roll of paper towels at each table that I found was much more handier than having to ask for thin napkins :)

    Great little spot with authentic food and a casual atmosphere. Straightforward prices and kind staff. The kamaya feast is a must try - served on a banana leaf and a big bed of rice.

    Our first time back in 7 years. The food is not as good as I remember. The fish and pork were dry. The rice was the only saving grace really. Overall, I was disappointed because I remember it was so good. Also the restaurant was not busy at all
