Buboy is easily one of the best restaurants for authentic Filipino food. Every dish is full of rich, comforting flavors that showcase the diverse culinary traditions of the Philippines. From savory classics to delicious grilled specialties, you can taste the passion & quality in every bite.
If you're looking to experience food inspired by the beautiful Philippines & its vibrant culture, Buboy is a must-visit. Great food, friendly service, & a welcoming ambiance - I highly recommended to try the pancit canton & leche flan with ube.
First sa nag babantay ng store na to.attitude problem.
Hindi approachable.walang freindly great..Serving ng sisig with extra rice. Extra rice nakalagay sa palito.walang extra plate.so habang nag assist ng ibang customer.sa harap ng counter nakahilera ang mga pinggan.so nag kusa akong kumuha.pero si bantay biglang nag salita na parang kasalanan ko pa.wag kang basta basta kumuha ng hindi mo sinasabi sakin?kelangan pa bang iutos eh nasa harap mo na kukunin mo nalang.Ganun ba dapat tratuhin ang customer?parang hindi filipino restaurant.hindi feeling at home.
Food?honestly kelangan ng improvement.walang wow factor.Imbes na ganahan kang kumain.nakakawalang ganang kumain hindi dahil sa food.dahil sa ugali ng nag babantay...
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.
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.
Little counter restaurant serving hard to find filipino food. It's a small operation so service can be slow but the ambiance is nice. I had the bulalo, it was alright. I'll have to try more of the menu.
Went to Montreal for a few day & stumbled on this little hidden gem. Pretty random location inside a small building in Chinatown, but it was so good we came back for a second meal. Modern twists on Filipino classics. I was literally dreaming of their spicy beef short rib sinigang. The miki & pancit are a must with lechón. My only regret is not having enough days to come back & try the rest of the menu. We ate at Toque & Joe Beef & I think this was my favorite meal of the three. So good!
I am a Filipino & tried to help & support local business. I bought this as take home. I was disappointed the I only got 1/4 filled . This is only a small snack for a child. As you can see you can count the noodles you have served me.
The thought that the hype was good food is only ok. I tried to let you know on your Insta but got no response Sorry but not coming back to you.
I visited twice on the same Montreal trip, which I think says something. Either about Buboy's potential, or my own optimism. Possibly both.
First visit, I ordered the bulalo. At Buboy they serve it with noodles, which is their prerogative. I asked for rice on the side because I'm Filipino, & also the grandchild of a rice farmer, so this is something I take personally. The rice was dry enough that not even the bulalo broth could rescue it, which is a sentence I genuinely did not expect to write about a Filipino restaurant. The beef in the bulalo was also quite lean, which made me reconsider whether the noodles would have even helped. The broth itself was decent. I could see the vision. I just couldn't fully live in it.
The music situation: the staff were changing songs constantly, which is a pet peeve of mine both as a customer & as someone who has worked in food service.'Folded' by Kehlani came on. They changed it immediately. I am not over this.
Second visit, different friend, different order. I got the tinapa fried rice, which was genuinely good. I also paid extra for an additional egg, somewhere in the $2-3 range, & received half an egg. So I paid to complete the egg that came with the dish.
Buboy has real ideas. The menu has personality. Our friends who live in Montreal love it, & I wanted to love it too. I just think the execution stumbles on the things that should be the easiest to get right. Rice. Beef. The egg math (I know there's eggflation, but still.)
I'll probably try the ube crinkle cookie next time I'm in town. There will probably be a next time.
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.
