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.
