MEL From Toronto
Food is exceptional esp.the crispy chicken & pansit.Ordered the Pares-pares the first time & it was very delicious & affordable. For only $13.50, you get 2 sunny side up fried eggs, rice, meat & pop. Yummy! Go try it!
We liked the ambiance as you would really feel like you’re in a Pinoy Karinderya. They were also playing Pinoy pop and R&B music. Their crispy pata was ok. Skin was crunchy but the meat was lacking tenderness. We loved the fried squid because of the breading and also it was tender and tasty! I asked the young lady server if it’a a family-ran business and she confirmed it. I really sensed the family vibe working together to make the resto well-run. She is used “opo and po”, (with her English sentences), while communicating, which made it a special experience because the Pinoy “respectful” culture is still there! Give it a try…Vegetarian options: They have veggie optionsParking: There were enough spots

Located in a corner in a plaza, Kuya Joe's is a very unassuming spot that serves a lot of Filipino plates. Now I can only rate the one dish I had at this place which is the taho, a Filipino tofu dessert. It was one of the better places that make this dessert. The syrup was sweet enough and the tofu was very silky and smooth. It runs about $6 a cup but it's actually quite filling. I will definitely be back to try the main dishes!

Food is alright. I can say that I may recommend them. But just so you know they do not have a washroom which is a BIG NO NO for a business. To the management, you should know that restaurants are not allowed to have “NO WASHROOM” because that is part of the rules/protocol in Toronto. Trust me, if an inspector knows about this, you might get shut down. That is “bawal” to have no washroom in an establishment. You can even ask other people to confirm. We just really felt uncomfortable that we cannot use the washroom after staying there for almost 2hrs. Disappointing.

First time ordering from here through Uber eats and so thrilled at how good the food was. We will definitely be ordering here again in the future. Daing na bangus was large portion, chicken bbq was fresh, and the boneless chicken on garlic rice was great!

Best KareKare I've ever had - just like how my lola used to make it! Put it on garlic rice, you won't regret it! A hidden neighbourhood gem! Too bad they don't have a large dining area.

My husband and I just stopped in for a late Sunday brunch, and are so happy we did! We both ordered the Tocilog, which was made fresh to order & absolutely delicious - my husband said it is the closest he’s ever had to his mom’s famous tocino. The egg yolk was perfectly tender (not runny, just soft) which I love! The portions were very generous & affordable, and the service was so lovely! The young woman at the cash register & bringing out orders was so sweet. The ensaymadas looked so delicious & fluffy - I wish I got some! 5 star experience, we will definitely be back! ?

Their beef pares is incredibly delicious, and the boneless chicken with their savory gravy creates a perfect combination. A must-try!
