Good flavor of the kare kare & beef pares. Could use more vegetables though. Their menu isn't up to date. Limited seating.

Je ne connais rien à la cuisine Philippine mais j'ai trouvé ça bon. Poulet Kanto tre croustillant & vien juteux à l'intérieur. Je m'attendais à un resto mais c'est plutôt un stand de cuisine de rue avec 2 tables dans la galerie d'un immeuble de bureau au 1er étage.

Tasty food inside the old mall. It's Philippino cuisine so they're mostly fried (very crunchy & tasty) so it might not be a great choice for healthy diet

Came here recently, food was delicious & affordable. I'd say out of all the Filipino restaurants I've enjoyed so far, this one gets extra points as they really try to go the extra mile & bring the flavours out. I wish them success so they can become a bigger restaurant!

Laid back dining spot with friendly staff & amazing filipino dishes. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

I'd been seeing Buboy pop up on Instagram stories here & there, so it had been on my list for a while. Finally came with a friend to try it.

We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Miki Chicken & Pancit Can-Chon. The Miki Chicken was definitely the highlight for me. Creamy coconut chicken broth, fresh noodles & crispy chicken, comforting & full of flavour.

The Pancit Can-Chon surprised me with its strong citrus flavour. It almost felt like eating orange peel at times, which personally wasn't for me. Same with the Crab Rangoon. I realized I'm probably just not a fan of the crab & cream cheese combination.

I actually left thinking I might simply have ordered the wrong dishes for my taste. I would have loved a little more guidance on what to choose, or maybe I should have asked more questions.

The place itself is cute, casual & has a lot of personality. I'd come back, but next time I'm asking them what I absolutely need to try before ordering.

I took the 20$ lunch special & it was delicious & filling. Lechon plate + Crab rangoon + Calamansi drink. Food was so good that I forgot I wanted to take a picture & ate half the plate before remembering. Great friendly service.

I'm new to Filipino food. I tried the pork lechon - wow, the skin is soooooooooooo krispy. I like the flavor.

Still other things to try for next time. Funky decor.
I hope many other interesting spots pop up in this mall. (Yes the resto is located inside the mall, but it's the first thing you will see upon entering though the western-most entrance)

Minor pet peeve: it would be nice if they switched to aluminum pan, or something that's not non-stick. Buboy is FAR from the only resto that chooses that convenience ofc 🙂 I'm just putting my wish out into the world … ✨🥹🔈
