I can't believe i've been missing out on such delicious food. My first experience with filipino food is a boodle fight seafood style, & I was blown away by how delicious it was. The presentation too was spot-on. Now the price was $65 before tax but the amount of food & the quality of the food served up to what I expect. My appetite is big but I ended up having to pack some food. It was too much! Definitely will come back.

Small but terrible (in a good way). Visited this place for breakfast. We came early for breakfast. Basically like the opener customers. & so we have the place for ourselves. Ordered the miki noodle soup (happy I did). It's best miki noodle soup I've had. Unique taste, the coconut milk blends perfectly blends.

Buboy is a GEM. The absolutely delicious oxtail kare kare, all the beef dishes, the CRAB RANGOON & the best damn bone broth out there - the food is just amazing. Even the desserts! Just all around a great time & you feel good after eating. You feel the love & care through the food.

The quality of ingredients shines through in every dish, with sauces that clearly speak to meticulous preparation & premium selection. I'm already looking forward to making this exceptional spot one of my regular go-tos.

I ordered their vegetarian noodle soup & it was absolutely delicious! Tangy with just the right amount of heat! The broth was rich & savoury without being greasy & the portion was generous & packed with veggies! The service was lovely & the atmosphere is really relaxed & friendly. Can't wait to go back!

J'ai pris le plat de boeuf dans la sauce champignon tel que m'a conseiller l'homme présent sur place & ce fut un délice en bouche. La sauce aux champignons était si délicieuse que j'aurais dû demander extra sauce hihi. La viande était tendre & la portion très généreuse, si généreuse que je garde mon déssert pour plus tard. 🤤 Je ne suis vraiment pas déçu de cet arrêt & j'y retournerais certainement ☺️ un petit restaurant qui n'attire pas l'oeil à première vu, mais qui vaut le détour pour un voyage cuturel au Phillinne l'instant d'un repas. De plus le service était très chaleureux. Merci à vous & bonne continuation.
