Review Summary

Buboy is widely celebrated as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that captures the heart of authentic Filipino cuisine. Many diners praise the flavorful and tender dishes, with standouts like the crispy lechon, savory bulalo, and delicious pancit frequently mentioned. While the small, kiosk-style setting in a mall location can occasionally be difficult to find or experience service delays, the staff is consistently described as friendly, helpful, and passionate. Although a few reviewers noted inconsistencies with portion sizes, pricing, or the dining process, the majority of visitors feel that the high quality of the food and the warm hospitality make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a comforting and memorable meal.

I’ve been trying to visit Buboy for weeks. Finally got the chance & was not disappointed. Tried the OG Bulalo which was tastebud meltingly good - unfortunately they were out of noodles when we went so I’ll be back to try it with! Beef fell apart in the dish & the broth was so flavourful I truly savoured every spoonful. My husband tried the loco gang & fell in love with it. Naturally we took some pork siopao to go which served as a phenomenal late night snack. Was so happy to see it on the menu. Wonderfully marinated pork. Everything on the menu is really well priced & the portion sizes are absolutely perfect.

Service was fantastic & the vibe was just immaculate. We ate in & really enjoyed the time spent there. Will be back to try the entire rest of the menu (starting with those lumpia!). 100/10.
