Buboy propose une cuisine philippine authentique et réconfortante, avec le bulalo servi dans un bouillon clair et riche qui enveloppe des morceaux de viande fondants, des légumes et des nouilles; la pancit canton rappelle l'enfance tout en gagnant en profondeur grâce à une cuisson maîtrisée. Des plats comme le lechon, le kare kare et le kinilaw séduisent par leur saveur robuste et leurs textures, tandis que des desserts tels que le halo halo et la brioche a l'ube ajoutent une touche gourmande; l'ensemble est servi dans une ambiance chaude et intime, avec un personnel sympathique et efficace. Des retours mentionnent toutefois une constance variable et des questions d'hygiène ou d'ambiance dans certaines salles, ainsi que des difficultés liées à l'emplacement et au cadre, ce qui n'empêche pas de considérer Buboy comme une adresse authentique et accessible. Pour les repas en style Kamayan, une expérience conviviale et généreuse exige souvent une réservation et peut impressionner les amateurs de viande et de partage; les portions et les prix restent globalement avantageux. Le lieu peut être difficile à trouver et la décoration reste simple, mais la dégustation privilégie les saveurs philippines et l'authenticité, avec des choix variés comme le bulalo, le pancit canton, le miki, le kinilaw et le lechon, accompagnés de jus frais comme le cantaloup. En somme, Buboy apparaît comme une option incontournable pour ceux qui cherchent une cuisine philippine réconfortante et accessible, capable de laisser un souvenir durable grâce à des plats riches, une ambiance chaleureuse et un service attentionné.
I had the pancit & pork because I was craving noodles but didn't want to overeat in Chinatown. Perfect portion size for 1 plus the flavor is a change from other Asian restaurants!
A steaming Filipino bowl of Bulalo: rich, clear bone broth layered with deep beef flavor, tender shank falling off the bone, sweet corn, soft cabbage, & fresh noodles soaking it all in. Comforting, honest, & deeply satisfying.
Between sips & bites, we drifted through conversations about Montreal, travels across Asia, geopolitics, & cinema, the world feeling both vast & right there at the table. 🍲🌏

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.
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!
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.
Their Pancit Canton reminded me so much of the Lucky Me version of the dish. Very tasty & the homemade noodles were nice & chewy.
Also had the grilled octopus kinilaw, very refreshing & a good amount of octopus!
Went there at 11:30am (since their typical hours start at 11am), & they were still closed & were opening later at 12. So i wish they posted that on Instagram before hand. Also they could post their new menu online.

Saw this place on Social Media & decided to check it out with some friends & boy did we not regret it. Nice little Filipino restaurant that served what I'm told is authentic food & I believe it. I had the Pancit Canton which were stir fried noodles that were well seasoned & nicely spiced. I added Lechon for an extra 4$ & it added a nice meatyness & crunchiness that was complimented by the seasoning & texture of the noodles. Definitely worth coming here.
I absolutely love this restaurant, the food & staff. They're always super friendly & go out of their way with recs & service. My sole complaint is that they're often out of certain dishes & preferring not to eat red meat or pork, it can be a bit tricky as most dishes contain the latter. I have tried their Miki Noodle soup (fav), the OG Bulalo & shrimp Palabok. All were fantastic! (Dont worry about the picture, the rangoons come in 5 but I couldn't help myself from eating one first lol)
Small but terrible (in a good way). Visited this place for breakfast. We came early for breakfast. Basically like the opener customers. & so we have the place for ourselves. Ordered the miki noodle soup (happy I did). It's best miki noodle soup I've had. Unique taste, the coconut milk blends perfectly blends.
I ordered their vegetarian noodle soup & it was absolutely delicious! Tangy with just the right amount of heat! The broth was rich & savoury without being greasy & the portion was generous & packed with veggies! The service was lovely & the atmosphere is really relaxed & friendly. Can't wait to go back!

I’ve been trying to visit Buboy for weeks. Finally got the chance & was not disappointed. Tried the OG Bulalo which was tastebud meltingly good - unfortunately they were out of noodles when we went so I’ll be back to try it with! Beef fell apart in the dish & the broth was so flavourful I truly savoured every spoonful. My husband tried the loco gang & fell in love with it. Naturally we took some pork siopao to go which served as a phenomenal late night snack. Was so happy to see it on the menu. Wonderfully marinated pork. Everything on the menu is really well priced & the portion sizes are absolutely perfect.
Service was fantastic & the vibe was just immaculate. We ate in & really enjoyed the time spent there. Will be back to try the entire rest of the menu (starting with those lumpia!). 100/10.
