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.

If you like Crab Rangoon, Oxtail Kare-Kare & Bulalo Pares this is the place for you.
.
I've had a bunch of Philippino style food before but here at @buboymtl it's like comfort & wholesome cooking had a baby. It's definitely on the heavy, put you in a coma, style vibe & I love it.
.
Really nice traditional spot that has been serving up the NDG area of Montreal all summer & giving people a delicious take on amazing Philippino Cooking.
.
They also have this amazing Cantaloupe Juice that is super refreshing & at times they even are known to do a collab or 2 with other great individuals like the master behind the Halo Halo Donut I had from @deuxbecs, really the master of donut making himself!
.
If your in the area you guys are lucky because coming into the winter season, these guys are Gunna keep you feed & fat all winter long 😅.

Laing: Roast Pork Belly, Taro Leaves In Coconut Milk over Rice 🐷🍚🥥

Lechon kare kare : Roast Pork Belly, Peanut Butter Gravy over Rice 🐷🍚🥜

Pancit Canton : House Noodles , Toyomansi sauce ( soy-Calamansi) , Chili Jam , 6 minute egg 🐔🥚🍜

I have to honestly & say I love the new & improved menu at @buboymtl & especially the new location. It really fits them better & to have a set menu with a hand full of bangers is all they needed!

Its just simple comfort philipinos food done ohhh so well me & my buddy couldn't get over how delicious everything really was! If your going through Chinatown & you need a recommendation, go here!

My favourite stop on a recent food tour.

Eric accommodated our large group, took the time to walk everyone through their menu, explaining each dish & making recommendations. Amazing service.

The food matched the service. Incredible flavours in the Pancit. Also tried the Miki with extra pork - incredible fall dish. Real comfort food.

A little difficult to find at first because they're located inside a small mall, but their stall has a really interesting vibe, & we got our orders very quickly.

10/10 need to go back!

Food tastes great. I do think the quantity can be slightly more, we left not fully feeling full. 2/3 of my bowl was rice which I couldn't possibly have finished so slightly more meat would be highly appreciated.

A small sanitary suggestion would to have the employee handling food to be wearing gloves. It's a sore sight to be seeing someone pulling on noodles with their bare hands for the next order as you're eating right in front of them.

Everything about Buboy is perfect. The food, the setup, the service. Number 1 you get your food in no time & it's always piping hot, you literally see them prepare it right in front of you. Number 2 it's delicious. Number 3 the staff is great, so sweet. & number 4 the setup since they changed location is just perfect, it's a little counter & fills like home. A MUST try in Montreal:
