Review Summary

Kalapaw offers a wide variety of authentic and comforting Filipino dishes that many patrons find delicious, generous in portion, and highly reminiscent of home. While the restaurant is frequently praised for its vibrant atmosphere, welcoming staff, and overall quality, experiences regarding service can be inconsistent. Some visitors encounter long wait times for both dine-in and takeout orders, and a few guests have expressed frustration with communication issues and procedural difficulties during checkout. Despite these concerns, the establishment remains a popular destination in the West Island, known for standout menu items like the kamayan platter, halo-halo, and various classic comfort foods, making it a recommended spot for those seeking a genuine Filipino dining experience.

Sunday Night, we called the place to ask if we can still dine in if it was very late. they agreed & accommodated us with open arms, a true & authentic trait of a Filipino- VERY HOSPITABLE. the sunday night staff was very patient & accommodating even they had to stay over time. The kids enjoyed their letchon kawali sinigang, it was a hit for everybody. This is our to go to Asian cuisine resto in the west island. Will always recommend this great restaurant to everyone.

I love to support Philippine cuisine but I must be honest here. The place is beautiful & very clean with lots of space. However, there was only one waitress & it took quite a bit of time to get served. (It's not her fault) However her personality was a little underwhelming as a Pinay & for a waitress. Didn't smile or acknowledge most of what we were saying to her. The shrimp was awful! It was severely over cooked & was soggy. The quality was very cheap & not acceptable. The lechon kawali was very dry. I would suggest they need to work on the freshness of their food & the quality. The BBQ chicken was excellent! The BBQ pork as well as the rice was pretty good. I would go back because I want them to succeed but I think they need to work on some things. Compared to Republika they have a long ways to go for taste, quality & freshness.

A small & cozy restaurant. While its menu may not boast an extensive array of choices, the 2 persons combo is highly rated & celebrated for its eyes-appealing presentation. Many dishes have somewhat similar taste to the Chinese dishes, but even for those who are familiar with Chinese food is still worthy to go

Bel endroit & personnel courtois mais le crispy pork belly est dur comme de la roche, impossible de croquer dedans 🥲 Les calmars sont bons :)

Rsvp for 12 people on Saturday, May 25th for 4:30pm. Cons Service: Server was not the quickest. She never came to ask us: How was everything? Is there anything else I can get you? Do you need containers for leftovers? We always had to go to her or flag her down.. Asides from that, they played happy birthday music & sung the birthday song for the celebrant which was a very kind gesture! Thank you! Halo-Halo was bland & in my opinion, not your typical Halo-Halo. There wasn't much shaved ice. Pros The food was delicious & fresh. Not too salty to which was great because Filipinos tend to over season their dishes. We ordered the following; - Kare-Kare: loved! Veggies we're cooked to perfection (nice & crisp. Not over cooked). Oxtail was dinger licking good. - Sisig: first time having it & loved it! Nice kick of spicyness. - Palabok: good & fresh but not my favorite - Eggroll: Piping hot, crispy & fresh! - Porc bbq: very good & flavorful. - Lechon: nice & crispy! - Fried calamari: delicous & not overcooked. - Steamed rice: Fresh batch! - Adobo rice: didn't get the chance to taste it. - A whole ube cheesecake: delectable! I couldn't stop eating it! It was so good! Overall, will definitely come back & order for catering! Thank you!

This is a true hidden gem in Montreal! We went to this restaurant for the first time & we were deeply impressed by the incredible cuisine! The environment was great & the tables were spacious. We were warmly welcomed. One of the problems was that the wait time might be a little long. However, the food was well worth it. The taste was incredible & not a single item on the menu disappointed us! The desserts are a must-try. We hope to return to this restaurant in the future to discover the marvels of Filipino cuisine.

For me, It's way too expensive for a regular size pusit inihaw $17 good for one person (about 4 inches) with no special seasoning.. my daughter ordered chicken inasal & it was not that good.. there's no rice or potatoes included, we need to pay another $9 for just the rice good for two...
