Review Summary

Buboy is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering authentic and comforting Filipino cuisine that leaves many visitors impressed by the bold flavors and creative twists on traditional dishes. While the atmosphere is often described as cozy and welcoming, with many guests praising the friendly and helpful service, the restaurant is located in a small, tucked-away space that can be tricky to find. Experiences regarding consistency are mixed, as some patrons find the portion sizes and food temperatures to be variable, and others have noted occasional challenges with service flow or order accuracy. Despite these occasional inconsistencies, the majority of diners are enthusiastic about their meals, frequently highlighting the crab rangoon, pancit, and lechon as standout items, and many express a strong desire to return to explore more of the menu.

Food was so freaking good! It was very homey, I loved how cozy the kitchen & seating area felt. We got the pork sisig, tinapa rice, & the crab rangoons. Definitely recommend the crab rangoons!!!

Very disappointing & frustrating if you're trying to plan an order in advance… phone numbers don't work & if you try to reach out on social media they expect you to place an advance order over DMs.

My mom is almost 80, isn't in the best of health, doesn't drive & doesn't have social media. She used to go to Buboy a lot when it was in Monkland. Over Instagram I tried getting their new phone number but they wouldn't give one (who knows why). & then all they replied to me was that they couldn't accommodate an order 2 days in advance…

Unprofessional &, frankly, a bit rude. Super disappointing. Don't recommend for those who live far from the new location. If you like to plan things in advance & get information on what can be ordered in advance, don't bother trying to contact this restaurant…

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.

L'expérience chez Buboy est incroyable & le service est impeccable. Le propriétaire est d'une intégrité rare & à l'écoute de ses clients. Les plats sont délicieux & les portions sont généreuses, le tout à un prix très abordable!

?Si vous voulez goûter à de vrais mets Philippins, c'est la place à Montréal! Je recommande à 100 %!

We came for their limited all you can eat Sunday brunch To;dr: would recommend, the food is good! The food was really good, not too many options but every single dish tastes very good The first plate tasted a lot better than the 2nd serving we had, the rice was quite mushy & the meat was somehow saltier (could be us) Service was really good, 4 star because she proposed food & we thought it was included but it ended up being extra
