This appears to be the only place serving Filipino food in downtown Coquitlam. I started my meal by trying Talong Salad for the first time, it was amazing! The grilled eggplant added a meaty texture to the raw pineapple, tomato, and onions. The grilled squid was good too, but hindsight I should have ordered something else as the flavours overlapped with the salad. Their house-made vinegar is probably one of the best condiments ever, it will go well with pretty much anything. Halo-halo is super sweet and refreshing. The restaurant is fairly small and the tables are closely placed, making space quite tight.

If I missed back home, this is the best place to feel like home ❤️ Great food and excellent service.
Being a Filipino in Coquitlam, I'm thrilled that this place is conveniently close to my home. My partner and I have been regulars here for 4 months now, ordering two to three times a month, and the meals last for days. Our top pick is the sisig! Additionally, we love the store's ambiance, which beautifully showcases Filipino culture.
For the first time in my life, I experienced Filipino food, and it was unexpectedly delicious??The entire wall on the right side of the entrance is filled with colorful snacks and drinks. The warm yellow chandelier on the counter wears a cute straw hat. The log-colored tables and chairs and hollow carved decorations add to the Nanyang style.The waiters are very friendly and kind, and they serve dishes that are full of color, flavor, and taste. The crispy pig is delicious and the soup is sour and delicious, but you are not used to it. Friends who are acidophilic can bravely try it. The dessert ice cream has a light and refreshing fragrance, and the transparent ingredients that I have never seen before are deposited at the bottom. It needs to be stirred well. It is not sweet but not greasy, and has a springy texture. I love it❤️All the good things ended with dinner, and we took stock of our next return visit.

If you’re craving for quality Filipino food in Coquitlam, this is probably the best place to be. I highly recommend this restaurant! The dining space is limited but the food is really good and their prices are reasonable. Will definitely go back here to try out their other dishes.

I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for good tasty Filipino food. They have a lot of options and I like that the food is not just sitting on display for hours on end like many different Filipino restaurants that I’ve been to. I ordered several dishes, and I found the pricing to be somewhat overpriced for the amount that I got, however, it makes up for it in taste.The service is nice, and our waitress was really friendly and accommodating for my requests.One thing to be aware about is that they are very generous with the garlic seasoning/garlic usage in their dishes lol. If you are looking to slay a vampire, just come and eat here!The size of the restaurant is small, but it is cozy. My only complaint I would have to say about the atmosphere is that it was very cold, and every time someone opened up the door to come in or leave the restaurant a gust of cold air was coming in each time, that’s making it somewhat uncomfortable, and all of us had to keep our jackets on during our dinner.
Have been there since Covid.Feels like under new management, staff were very friendly and attentive. Batil Patong and Cripy Pata were good. Karekare’s taste is good,beef stew a bit over cooked and food portion is small vs the other dishes at the same price so less one star out of 5 is for that reason. Over all is good.

Having listened to the owner on CBC talking about ethnic Filipino food, I was looking forward to trying Kulinarya. I ordered 3 dishes: Kare Kare was the best peanut satay sauce I've ever had, but DON'T order it with the tripe (optional) as it had a really "off" sour taste that killed what should have been a perfect dish. The Crispy Binagoogan was excellent, I've never had fried pork belly before, it was rich but delicious! The Bangus Sisig grilled milkfish came with the head & tail (as it should for authenticity & freshness), the fish was perfectly cooked and had a nice vinegar based light sauce. Garlic rice was delicious. The Sago at Gulaman was a bit of a letdown, basically a brown sugar water "bubble tea" that was lacking any flavor. I really wanted to give a 5 star rating, but the sour tripe & flavorless drink knocked it down. Excellent service & nicely decorated & clean. Great choice for some unique Filipino cuisine. Not cheap but authentic.
Kulinarya is our favourite restaurant in BC ❤️ Lots of vegan options. I recommend the Sizzling tofu sisig and Pancit Bihon. The service is always fantastic!
