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.

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

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!

A+ pancit tapioca noodles (great texture & bounce) with a soy, calamansi sauce & super crispy lechon.

Vybz.

Staff is also kind & friendly.

Worth a visit or two.

Delicious! This was my first time at their new location, however I've eaten at Buboy's multiple times so far & it's always amazing. One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. I really liked the sliders & the pancit sauce was so good.

Went to their new location at Place du Quartier & it was a great experience! The Pancit Canton was so good :)

Their Pancit Canton reminded me so much of the Lucky Me version of the dish. Very tasty & the homemade noodles were nice & chewy.

Also had the grilled octopus kinilaw, very refreshing & a good amount of octopus!

Went there at 11:30am (since their typical hours start at 11am), & they were still closed & were opening later at 12. So i wish they posted that on Instagram before hand. Also they could post their new menu online.

Saw this place on Social Media & decided to check it out with some friends & boy did we not regret it. Nice little Filipino restaurant that served what I'm told is authentic food & I believe it. I had the Pancit Canton which were stir fried noodles that were well seasoned & nicely spiced. I added Lechon for an extra 4$ & it added a nice meatyness & crunchiness that was complimented by the seasoning & texture of the noodles. Definitely worth coming here.
