Review Summary

Reviews paint Buboy in Montreal as a cozy, authentic Filipino spot that serves comforting, generously portioned dishes at accessible prices. Highlights mentioned across comments include pancit Canton, kinilaw, Kare Kare, lechon, bulalo and pork dishes, with the Kamayan and Boodle Feast experiences noted as especially enjoyable for groups. The new location is appreciated for its fit and homey vibe, with some praise for friendly, guiding service. Most guests report warm hospitality and quick, visible food preparation, though a few dishes arrive cold or are misordered and some visits feel a bit slow. The restaurant is described as a hidden gem by many, with several groups using it for events like weddings, and the cantaloupe juice and other Filipino staples recurring themes. Overall Buboy is seen as delivering flavorful, comforting Philippine cooking that keeps guests returning, despite occasional inconsistencies.

We appreciated the attentive service & professionalism of your staff during our recent visit to Montreal.

We're puzzled that the online reviews don't accurately reflect the restaurant's actual location, which is within a small corner space of a larger building.

Unfortunately, the food we tried didn't live up to the standards suggested by the reviews. Although the Filipino dishes did have an authentic taste, our overall experience was marred by concerns over sanitation & the ambiance of the premises.

We hope you can use this feedback to improve & align the experience with your online presence. 😩😑🫣

Their pancit canton brought me back to the ones I usually had in my childhood but more elevated in flavor. I love them for doing that. 10 out of 10 in my book

Très bon. Les portions sont un peu petites.
Par contre, le pain était sec & clairement pas frais du jour. Décevant.

I ordered lechon & crab rangoons to go & paid $2 extra to replace rice with noodles +the tip. Unfortunately, I was given rice instead of noodles, tried calling but the number is disconnected. Pretty disappointed since I was the only customer there.

We tried the Kamayan Christmas dinner special-a collaboration with Dobe & Andy-& wow. If you're a meat lover, this will absolutely blow your socks off. The spread was loaded with BBQ pork, crispy pork, chicken, duck skewers, veggies, cream cheese & crab dumplings, plus a generous portion of fried rice packed with even more meat.
Reservations are required since it's a group-style meal, & it's well worth planning ahead. Other standouts for us were the coconut soup with crispy pork & the bone broth-both comforting & deeply flavorful.
Buboy is truly a rare gem in Montreal. Huge thanks to Chef Eric for consistently offering such unique, delicious dishes at prices that remain accessible.

Food looked awesome, but taste was off, bland & not working together.
Was very disappointed & still confused by the dishes I received.
Maybe it was bad luck…

Price was decent
Service was cold

the restaurant gives an authentic carenderia vibes limited seating.
Food is good we had the pares, bulalo & pancit. everything was packed with flavors & delicious.
Service was good they also offer some filipino baked goods.

I will definitely visit this place again when I visit montreal. Definitely recommended

If you like Crab Rangoon, Oxtail Kare-Kare & Bulalo Pares this is the place for you.
.
I've had a bunch of Philippino style food before but here at @buboymtl it's like comfort & wholesome cooking had a baby. It's definitely on the heavy, put you in a coma, style vibe & I love it.
.
Really nice traditional spot that has been serving up the NDG area of Montreal all summer & giving people a delicious take on amazing Philippino Cooking.
.
They also have this amazing Cantaloupe Juice that is super refreshing & at times they even are known to do a collab or 2 with other great individuals like the master behind the Halo Halo Donut I had from @deuxbecs, really the master of donut making himself!
.
If your in the area you guys are lucky because coming into the winter season, these guys are Gunna keep you feed & fat all winter long 😅.

Laing: Roast Pork Belly, Taro Leaves In Coconut Milk over Rice 🐷🍚🥥

Lechon kare kare : Roast Pork Belly, Peanut Butter Gravy over Rice 🐷🍚🥜

Pancit Canton : House Noodles , Toyomansi sauce ( soy-Calamansi) , Chili Jam , 6 minute egg 🐔🥚🍜

I have to honestly & say I love the new & improved menu at @buboymtl & especially the new location. It really fits them better & to have a set menu with a hand full of bangers is all they needed!

Its just simple comfort philipinos food done ohhh so well me & my buddy couldn't get over how delicious everything really was! If your going through Chinatown & you need a recommendation, go here!

My favourite stop on a recent food tour.

Eric accommodated our large group, took the time to walk everyone through their menu, explaining each dish & making recommendations. Amazing service.

The food matched the service. Incredible flavours in the Pancit. Also tried the Miki with extra pork - incredible fall dish. Real comfort food.

A little difficult to find at first because they're located inside a small mall, but their stall has a really interesting vibe, & we got our orders very quickly.

10/10 need to go back!

Food tastes great. I do think the quantity can be slightly more, we left not fully feeling full. 2/3 of my bowl was rice which I couldn't possibly have finished so slightly more meat would be highly appreciated.

A small sanitary suggestion would to have the employee handling food to be wearing gloves. It's a sore sight to be seeing someone pulling on noodles with their bare hands for the next order as you're eating right in front of them.
