Very disappointing experience. The photos & menu are misleading. The actual place looks nothing like what's advertised. Cleanliness & sanitation also did not seem well maintained.
I tried speaking Tagalog while ordering but the staff couldn't communicate in the language, which surprised me given how the place presents itself. The service also felt rude & not very welcoming, I think they also don't know what they are selling.
On top of that, the menu was inaccurate because several Filipino dishes shown or advertised were not actually available. Overall, the experience really did not meet expectations we wasted our 3hrs travel time to visit this place because we thought it's really worth to try. I was honestly surprised to see so many positive reviews because our experience was very different from what I expected after reading them.
I've been coming to Buboy for a while now, & it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, the menu has a great variety, & every dish is full of authentic Filipino flavour. It's truly one of Montreal's hidden gems. The warm atmosphere, the familiar aromas, & the welcoming environment make it feel like home every time .
Huge credit to Eric & his team for creating such a special place & putting so much heart into it.
Good, thought missing some veggie in the dishes. I enjoyed the food though I'm not sure enough to go out of my way to go back. The meat was delicious. The lechon baboy had too much rice for the meat if I recall right. & the bulalo was good, meat was good though. Tender.
Portions for the Pancit Canton with Lechon Baboy is incredibly small. Good portion of pork but nearly non-existent noodles?? I actually don't understand being cheap on noodles when it's the cheapest element of the dish? At that point I think you're better off skipping the dish entirely & going to Dobe & Andy across & just ordering pork from there.
We're rooting for this place because the menu & concept have a lot of potential. The flavours were genuinely great, but the service & overall dining experience left us a bit disappointed.
Service-wise, it would really help if the process was explained more clearly when customers arrive. For example, that you pay first, seat yourself, & grab your own utensils. We felt a little unsure throughout the experience. When our food arrived, we also didn't receive water or utensils, which added to the confusion.
For the food itself, the flavours were excellent, but the portion sizes felt inconsistent for the pricing. The $4 rice portion was nearly the same size as the $16 pancit, & the sisig portion was much smaller than expected based on photos from other reviews. We finished it in just a few bites. We also later noticed that the menu on Uber Eats mention garlic rice included with the sisig, but we were charged extra for it. It was $65 for 2 people after tip, & left still a but hungry.
Hoping they continue improving because there's definitely something special here & we'd love to see them succeed!
Coming from Ontario my husband & I searched for pinoy restaurants. Happy to find a 20 min walk fr our hotel. The place is dismal but we're thinking give it a chance .it's about filipino hospitality like smile, acknowledging ,& welcoming atmosphere.
Came in the guy behind the counter just looked at us/gave us a stare & NEVER EVER gave us a sense of hey we're happy that you came & happy to cook good food for you. We felt wow, that's one miserable staff. To us its about first impression the feel of filipino pride, this one did not deliver. We ended up leaving & very disappointed.

Buboy restaurant, treat everyone with good intention. You never know who are the people you ALMOST had as a customer.
Didn't expect it but all the food that we ordered were so good. The service is fantastic, they are very helpful in choosing the food. I hope to come back whenever my health permits me
👍👍👍👍👍
