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.

    I’ve been going here for many years and have never been disappointed. The food is incredible, the staff phenomenal, and the ambience is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Highly recommend the meatballs and literally any pasta. And when in doubt on wine, any one will do because the list is well curated. You can’t go wrong here.

    First time here … what I would call as a great neighbourhood restaurant. The food was VERY good … if there was a 4.5 rating I would have given that. Our waiter was very very good. The restaurant is very loud and interior a bit dated. If I lived close by I would definitely frequent often.

    First time trying Filipino food and I'll definitely come back!! Love the garlic rice sooo much and all the grilled meat & seafood. The experience of having them setup the dishes on top of banana leaves on the table is so unique and fascinating.

    First time here. And it didn't disappoint! Great flavours, portion sizes and the upstairs ambience was slightly more tranquil than downstairs (away from kitchen and bar). The octopus was decent, tartar great, and between the branding, beef cheek and pappardelle pasta, we all enjoyed. Our lovely server seemed flustered most of the night. Overly busy perhaps. More of a sympathy note than a critique.
