Wow! This is the best food i’ve had in a very long time. The presentation was gorgeous and the atmosphere and decorations reminded me so much of the Philippines. My favourites were the pork skewers and spring rolls, they were so flavourful and filling. The owners were super welcoming and friendly, I had no trouble communicating with them. The food was so authentic, I am definitely going to be coming back and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone since there were so many foods to choose from on the menu!

Such a lovely place! Came here with friends to celebrate some birthdays and was blown away by the experience.Food: Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced! We all got the Boodle Fight. The presentation was lovely and everything tasted so good!Service: Fantastic! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. They made sure we were comfortable and that we enjoyed our time there. They introduced the items to us and also gave us suggestions on how to enjoy it (which I really appreciated since I had never partook in a meal like this before)! They went above and beyond to make this a wonderful experience and the perfect way to celebrate our birthdays!Atmosphere: Beautifully decorated and has a comforting, home-like feel. Clean and tidy.Overall: It really was such a fun time. I highly recommend coming here. I will be raving to all of my friends!!

We came here to try their boodle fight with a bunch of friends after some fun games of badminton. It was amazing. It's a small family owned restaurant. The food were delicious and they were presented so nicely. They even offered us karaoke to sing at the restaurant. Most importantly the staff there were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back for more gatherings.

We heard good things about this joint and decided to give it a try.As you enter, you're greeted with nostalgia and makes you feel back home.We ordered the Tosilog, Sisilog, and Palabok. We were told that all were made to order but when we got the Tosi and Sisi they were lukewarm but it was pretty good. The Palabok however was piping hot.A take away from the experience is that it was drafty inside, we also found an insect on our table as well as in the washroom.Otherwise, a good place to check out.

Have been here twice now for Boodle Fight, and it's a wonderful experience. A hidden gem and amazing food and personalized service at a very affordable price for what it is. Owner Ariel is friendly and down to Earth, and his cooking is literally a labour of love: a tribute to his grandmother (ask him the story!) I recommend letting them know you're coming because the place is small, especially if your party is more than about 4. The first time we visited we made the mistake of arriving 20 minutes late, not realizing that the laying out of the food is a part of the process, and the food was cold (but still delicious!) If you might be late, let him know that you'd rather wait until you get there and then you can enjoy the process of layout, while chatting with Ariel and his family.The food itself is amazing. I'm not a big fan of okra but even the okra here is great. The garlic rice is to die for. Boodle Fight also includes vegetables, pork, fish, skewers, rice, sweets, ...it's a feast! You won't regret checking this place out; he could easily move downtown and charge twice what he does!

Not many places in Scarborough for Filipino cuisine and have kamayan (noodle fight) on their menu. So if you’re looking for a homey place transporting you to the Philippines during your meal. This is where you can find it. The offer dine in and takeout serving breakfast lunch and dinner. And of course kamayan for your gatherings. Right off the highway and in Scarborough! Check it out.

Thanks for the excellent service, for going extra miles to put a smile on your customer. Yummy dishes too! My son says; their chicken is much more better than Popeyes chicken ?Kid-friendliness: They’re very friendly and check on my son’s favourite chicken ?

Incredible service. Food was delicious. Hosted our family for a private dinner and busted karaoke afterwards. It’s Pinas in Scarborough :)

Super homey, picnic-style eatery. A good breakfast spot for small groups. Here's what we ordered: * Sisig-silog $15.99 * Tap-silog $15.99 * BBQ skewers (2) $3.50each * (1) Okoy $6.50 Total for the two of us was only $52 after tax and tip!!! First time we've ever been to a restaurant where they pack AND re-dressed our takeout container - we were amazed to say the least. The owner, Ariel is awesome and kept checking on us to make sure we were enjoying and to make sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back to try the boodle dish and halo halo.

Nice little Filipino restaurant located at Ellesmere Rd and Pharmacy Ave. There's a small dining area with nice little trinkets hanging on the wall shelves. It makes you feel at home. There's a hot table with various Filipino dishes like deep fried okoy ( seafood fritters), lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), pork bbq skewers, kare kare (peanut butter stew), dinadakan (seasoned grilled pork), chicken adobo, beef caldereta, pork sisig, dinuguan (pork blood stew), and assorted soups (sinigang, nilaga, papaitan). You have the option to order combo meals where you can choose 1 ulam (dish) and rice $12.99. 2 ulam (dish) and rice $14.99 and 3 ulam (dish) and rice $16.99. You can also order various dishes a la carte. The prices vary depending on the meat or veggie dish. We ordered the boodle fight meal $24.99, which allows you to try a few different items. The presentation was really nice and the food was made fresh to order. It comes with grilled bangus (milk fish), grilled pork belly, fishballs, turon (plantain spring roll), lumpia (spring roll), grilled shrimp, steamed okra, garlic rice and pancit guisado. The staff member said the boodle fight meal is good for 2 people. Realistically, if you are very hungry, you could eat this tray of food on your own. My wife and I ordered an extra 1 ulam and rice combo meal. We ordered the pork sisig and it was really good. The pork bbq stick was marinated perfectly and had nice char texture. It really reminded me of chinese bbq pork. Overall, it was a pleasant experience dining in here. The service was a bit slow, but the food that came out was delicious. If you are new to Filipino cuisine, I recommend the boodle fight meal because you get to sample many dishes.
