I'd been seeing Buboy pop up on Instagram stories here & there, so it had been on my list for a while. Finally came with a friend to try it.
We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Miki Chicken & Pancit Can-Chon. The Miki Chicken was definitely the highlight for me. Creamy coconut chicken broth, fresh noodles & crispy chicken, comforting & full of flavour.
The Pancit Can-Chon surprised me with its strong citrus flavour. It almost felt like eating orange peel at times, which personally wasn't for me. Same with the Crab Rangoon. I realized I'm probably just not a fan of the crab & cream cheese combination.
I actually left thinking I might simply have ordered the wrong dishes for my taste. I would have loved a little more guidance on what to choose, or maybe I should have asked more questions.
The place itself is cute, casual & has a lot of personality. I'd come back, but next time I'm asking them what I absolutely need to try before ordering.
I took the 20$ lunch special & it was delicious & filling. Lechon plate + Crab rangoon + Calamansi drink. Food was so good that I forgot I wanted to take a picture & ate half the plate before remembering. Great friendly service.
Food was so freaking good! It was very homey, I loved how cozy the kitchen & seating area felt. We got the pork sisig, tinapa rice, & the crab rangoons. Definitely recommend the crab rangoons!!!
I finally visited Buboy, a Filipino restaurant that gives a twist to classic Filipino dishes. I ordered the crispy kare-kare & crab rangoon. The presentation was not as appetizing as what I saw on their IG, but the taste made up for it. It was really good. When they say crispy, it is truly crispy. The crab rangoon was a standout & something I would order again.
Also, shoutout to the staff who served my food. She was very nice & welcoming. I felt a bit guilty for not smiling back when she smiled at me. Great service overall.
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.
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!

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!
Sooo damn tasty & comforting. Exactly what you need during -20 weather. We had the crab rangoons, oxtail kare kare & the Loco Gang. We were left very satisfied & will definitely be back!
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.
Had the Pares & Kare-Kare, as well as the canteloupe drink. Both dishes were excellent! My partner & I slightly preferred the Pares, because the beef was just so tasty & flavourful. But I also really likes the Kare-Kare, which even used actual ox tail! We also had the crab rangoons which were so addictively good, we basically finished it all in one sitting. We had the food to go, & I wished the Pares had more sauce to go with it (maybe the rice absorbed most of the sauce) & the Kare-Kare came with a side of shrimp paste. That said, the food was so good we can’t wait to go back & try more of the menu! :) Highly recommend!
