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.

Très bon. Les portions sont un peu petites.
Par contre, le pain était sec & clairement pas frais du jour. Décevant.

I ordered lechon & crab rangoons to go & paid $2 extra to replace rice with noodles +the tip. Unfortunately, I was given rice instead of noodles, tried calling but the number is disconnected. Pretty disappointed since I was the only customer there.

We tried the Kamayan Christmas dinner special-a collaboration with Dobe & Andy-& wow. If you're a meat lover, this will absolutely blow your socks off. The spread was loaded with BBQ pork, crispy pork, chicken, duck skewers, veggies, cream cheese & crab dumplings, plus a generous portion of fried rice packed with even more meat.
Reservations are required since it's a group-style meal, & it's well worth planning ahead. Other standouts for us were the coconut soup with crispy pork & the bone broth-both comforting & deeply flavorful.
Buboy is truly a rare gem in Montreal. Huge thanks to Chef Eric for consistently offering such unique, delicious dishes at prices that remain accessible.

Food looked awesome, but taste was off, bland & not working together.
Was very disappointed & still confused by the dishes I received.
Maybe it was bad luck…

Price was decent
Service was cold
