First, the store itself is overrated. My parents visit me once in a while here in Toronto and we go here, prolly been here for like ~5 times already. However, the Filipino feeling is really here. Talk here and there and if you really miss the the "Filipino Air" go here, but food-wise, you can save someplace else.

I think it's the concept of being the only place in TO but yeah, you really need to have at least a hundred buck to feed four people (the number of people in my fam). What I liked best was the Kare-kare sans the alamang. However, most of the food they serve have shrimp on it, so people allergic to it really have limited selection. The "Famed Chicken" is not even that good and most of the food are much too oily.

Service was okay, not that stellar but passable. If you don't call ahead of time, be ready to wait for at least 15 minutes so if you're really hungry, this is not the best place to go to.

Over all, it's too overrated and overpriced. And too noisy. Well since we all are Filipinos, that inevitable.

Food is ok but service is really bad. 99% of their staff are rude. Far from being friendly at all.. I took my non Filipino friends one time and it was a huge disappointment from the service we got and the food. We didn't get it and still don't get why we got treated that way when all we did was being polite and nice to them. In the end, they even pushed us to leave!!! Like WTH!
After all that, I decided to give them another chance. I brought my husband who is European so he can try the famous halo halo. We got seated after a 15 min wait because everyone was busy chatting in the back. We got menu soon after but 45 minutes later, nobody even bothered to take our order. We ended up leaving and walking away and none of the staff even bothered to say anything even the manager on duty! Mind you, the place wasn't busy at all. It was terrible and a shame. I was so proud of this place but I dont think its worth anything. They truly have to improve their service else they will eventually lose all their customers.

Someone should remind these culturally dysfunctional servers that they must serve all customers and leave their racism behind. Word of mouth and tweet can close a business that hires servers as stupid as these. Last time this happened to us at another place we left a 2% tip in pennies covered in gravy on the tablecloth.

@ Kodoschi..i guess you are trying to over react here. And based on your comments, seems like you are the racist not these people. Look at the way u talk. If you are not satisfied with the service, that's fine but u don't need to call these people dysfunctional nor stupid. Coz just by the way u talk, for sure u are describing yourself. I don't know who u are. If u are educated then please use it, if not then i guess u gotta go back to school and learn something about GMRC. Ooops just in case u don't know the meaning of that ill do it for ya. It's Good Manners and Right Conduct. Have a good day.
