Amazing food and friendly staff. The Vegetable Kare Kare is divine and get some rice with that. The BBQ pork ribs were an easy runner-up, charred in the best way. Definitely a healthier option if you’re eating out.

I recently ordered the pancit canton platter from Kulinarya Coquitlam for a party, and I was quite disappointed. The menu indicated it would include a mix of chicken, shrimp, and veggies, but there was no chicken in the dish at all. The topping only had about 6-8 medium-sized shrimp, which felt inadequate for the price. Overall, it didn’t live up to our expectations, and I don’t feel it was worth what we paid. I hope they can improve their portions and accuracy in the future.

For someone who cannot cook or even attempt to cook Filipino food but still misses eating good home cooked meal this place is a "God of Happy Tummies" sent. I visited the Coquitlam branch of Kulinarya. They don't skimp on food portions or presentation for to go orders. I have tried many Filipino restaurants in lower mainland but we always leave disappointed or underwhelmed. The food tasted freshly cooked, homey and quite nostalgic and there's no feeling of "Tirang ulam" from the previous day like most Filipino restaurants we have tried. I highly recommend this place. Worth the price and the team who works at the front are friendly as well. Will return again for more happy tummy days.

Had a great meal and experience here, a hidden gem I didn’t realize was 15 mins from my house, will definitely be back. Came by recommendation of my Filipino friends so I already expected it to be good and it didn’t disappoint. I had the Manok sa Gata with Garlic Rice upgrade and it was absolutely delicious 😋. Finished off with my favourite Halo-halo and it was fantastic as well. Cozy old school style family restaurant vibes with great service. Plenty of free parking outside in the plaza and directly in front of the restaurant as well.

This appears to be the only place serving Filipino food in downtown Coquitlam. I started my meal by trying Talong Salad for the first time, it was amazing! The grilled eggplant added a meaty texture to the raw pineapple, tomato, and onions. The grilled squid was good too, but hindsight I should have ordered something else as the flavours overlapped with the salad. Their house-made vinegar is probably one of the best condiments ever, it will go well with pretty much anything. Halo-halo is super sweet and refreshing. The restaurant is fairly small and the tables are closely placed, making space quite tight.

As a Filipino residing in Coquitlam, I’m delighted to have this place so conveniently nearby. My partner and I continue to favor the sisig, and we love the store’s ambiance, which wonderfully showcases Filipino culture. UPDATE: We recently dined in to savor the experience, and it genuinely felt like home with its authentic Filipino atmosphere. The adobo served in a wok was a highlight, and we also loved the lumpiang shanghai. Although they removed the canton from the menu (which was my favorite), my partner tried the bihon and found it delicious. We’re still loving it here!

You'll be happy! Each dish prepared with much attention and care. Had a wonderful dining experience. The place is small and just perfect, gives them more opportunity to pay close attention to you. They'll come over and ask you how your meal was, very hospitable and beautiful atmosphere. A definite great experience.

After trying so many filipino restaurants in greater vancouver, from downtown to coquitlam to langley, this one is probably the best I ve tried. Although pricy, the food is always fresh and made with care, I just wish they had better ventilation. Old review: Sisig bangus! Yum! The bbq is really good too! for the drinks I recommend trying their sagot gulaman

In a complex with a parking lot with ample parking spaces. Portion sizes are small. The $6 rice was as much as 2 regular bowls of rice. At any 2 item + rice filipino restaurants, 1 bowl of rice is piled high enough for 2 bowls. The beef kaldereta came in a cookie pan... maybe around 7 pieces of beef. The sauce was neither beefy or tomato-y. Best to go somewhere else for this dish. The sisig came in a regular sized pan. Im used to the raw egg being cracked into it but here they have a fully cooked sunny side up egg on top which doesnt really mix well into the sisig. The flavor was good but the crispy pork belly was rubbery. The shanghai lumpia was short and because of that, there is extra layers of spring roll wrapper which made it hard and not light and crispy.

For the first time in my life, I experienced Filipino food, and it was unexpectedly delicious The entire wall on the right side of the entrance is filled with colorful snacks and drinks. The warm yellow chandelier on the counter wears a cute straw hat. The wood-colored tables and chairs and hollow carved decorations add to the Nanyang style. The waiters are very friendly and kind, and they serve meals that are full of color, flavor, and flavor. The crispy pig is a good aftertaste. The soup is sour and delicious, but you are not used to it. Friends who are acidophilic can be brave enough to try it. The dessert ice cream has a light and refreshing fragrance, and the transparent ingredients that I have never seen before are deposited at the bottom. It needs to be stirred well. It is not sweet but not greasy, and has a springy texture. I love it All the good things ended with dinner, and we took stock of our next return visit.

Well prepared versions of Filipino staples with authentic provincial flavors. Must try their Laing with rich creamy coconut gravy cooked with fresh greens and tender porkloin slices. ... goes well with Bangusilog.. the quintessential milkfish breakfast combo. .. only thing lacking are swaying coconut trees and waves crashing on the beach.

We got to try Kamayan Feast (aka. Boodle Fight) at Kulinarya in Coquitlam. No plates or silverware. Just food, food, and more food piled upon some leaves. You use your hands to eat! Feast is an appropriate term to describe our meal that night. On our table we had: Crispy Pata, Kaldereta, Adobo Chicken, Ginataang Kalabasa, Bangus Fried, Steamed Rice, Lumpiang Shanghai. Fried Sweet Potato, and Fried Plantain. The table was a mess but the leaves which were used to hold all the food on the table actually made cleanup very easy and quick. Our server picked up the leaves with all the food in it, and with seemingly very little effort, carried it away. The leaves basically acted as a tablecloth, so it was like lifting a tablecloth with all the food in it, and carrying it away. We were impressed by how quickly and easily the table was cleaned. The feast wasnt over though because what would any feast be without dessert? Our feast included Halo Halo, so even though we were incredibly full already, we had to make room for dessert and stuff ourselves even more! I can now check Boodle Fight off my list. Once was enough for me. It was an interesting experience but I really do prefer eating with utensils! Some of the food was a bit of a hit and miss but overall the food was good. Bangus Fried (fried fish) was incredible! I would go back for that one dish alone, and could eat several orders of it all by myself. It was sooooooooo good! Service: Good Parking: Plentiful and free Location: 2922 Glen Dr., Coquitlam

Weve tried the crispy pata, kare-kare, fiesta plate, tapsilog, and pork bbq. Everything was soo delicious and reminded me of home. The decor was homey with capiz windows, jeepney signs and sari-sari store set-up on the wall reminiscent of childhood. A book on the wall called Linamnam by Claude Tayag and Mary Ann Quioc about Filipino restaurants in the different regions gave us ideas on where to eat for our next trip to the motherland - be sure to give it a quick read! We will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

We came here for the Kamayan Feast on a recommendation from a friend who had it at their Commercial location, and it was amazing! Its definitely an event, and everything from the food to the service to the experience was wonderful. The price might look a bit high, but for everything you get (including the amount of food), its worth it. We ordered the crispy pata, chicken adobo, beef & tripe kare-kare, bangus grilled, and pinakbet. The meat was crispy and tender without being dry. (We werent the biggest fan of the pinakbet - didnt realize there was bitter melon, which is in us, not the restaurant). The halo-halo dessert was a great, light way to end the meal. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. We had a stroller, and instead of figuring out where to put it, they set it in the back for us. Well be back in the future, but probably just for a regular meal. Weve done take out from here before, but the food is definitely better dining in, especially anything crispy. Kid-friendliness: They only have 1 highchair. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant and entry way is a bit tight, I think itd be difficult to come here with a wheelchair.

Very homey atmosphere and amazingly friendly and attentive staff. Every dish we had was amazing and you can t go wrong with whatever you want to order. I personally would recommended getting the pork belly kare kare combo. The crispiness and juiciness of the pork belly was well balanced and the peanut sauce was amazing as well. The portion sizes for the price were great and each meal was presented nicely. Would definitely come here again! Vegetarian options: Dedicated vegetarian section of the menu. Lots of options! Parking: There was surprisingly a lot of parking for such a condensed area Kid-friendliness: Very homey atmosphere

Having listened to the owner on CBC talking about ethnic Filipino food, I was looking forward to trying Kulinarya. I ordered 3 dishes: Kare Kare was the best peanut satay sauce Ive ever had, but DONT order it with the tripe (optional) as it had a really off sour taste that killed what should have been a perfect dish. The Crispy Binagoogan was excellent, Ive never had fried pork belly before, it was rich but delicious! The Bangus Sisig grilled milkfish came with the head & tail (as it should for authenticity & freshness), the fish was perfectly cooked and had a nice vinegar based light sauce. Garlic rice was delicious. The Sago at Gulaman was a bit of a letdown, basically a brown sugar water bubble tea that was lacking any flavor. I really wanted to give a 5 star rating, but the sour tripe & flavorless drink knocked it down. Excellent service & nicely decorated & clean. Great choice for some unique Filipino cuisine. Not cheap but authentic.

Have been there since Covid.Feels like under new management, staff were very friendly and attentive. Batil Patong and Cripy Pata were good. Karekare s taste is good,beef stew a bit over cooked and food portion is small vs the other dishes at the same price so less one star out of 5 is for that reason. Over all is good.

I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for good tasty Filipino food. They have a lot of options and I like that the food is not just sitting on display for hours on end like many different Filipino restaurants that I ve been to. I ordered several dishes, and I found the pricing to be somewhat overpriced for the amount that I got, however, it makes up for it in taste. The service is nice, and our waitress was really friendly and accommodating for my requests. One thing to be aware about is that they are very generous with the garlic seasoning/garlic usage in their dishes lol. If you are looking to slay a vampire, just come and eat here! The size of the restaurant is small, but it is cozy. My only complaint I would have to say about the atmosphere is that it was very cold, and every time someone opened up the door to come in or leave the restaurant a gust of cold air was coming in each time, that s making it somewhat uncomfortable, and all of us had to keep our jackets on during our dinner.

I ve tried the Commercial drive location and am obsessed, so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that there was a Coquitlam location as well! My girlfriend and I visited during lunch on a Wednesday and it was very quiet. We ordered the large sinangag (garlic fried rice), ginataang kalabasa (squash, green beans and eggplant in coconut milk and shrimp paste), Vegan Sizzling Tofu-Sisig & Kare-kare (Beef, tripe, and vegetables in thick savory peanut-based sauce). The food was absolutely delicious and had lots of leftovers! I especially love the Tofu & Kare kare. The service was very friendly and prices are very reasonable. I will definitely return again and again!

I ve tried this place a handful of times and I think it is just okay. The silog dishes are good, I have tried the Tocino and Tapa. Both tasty but I liked the tapa better as it tastes more homemade. The tocino was good but I am thinking it is off-the-shelf (premade) as you can buy this at many Asian markets and even Walmart. We also tried the BBQ and it was our favourite out of everything but could definitely use a bit more char/render the fatty pieces more. My least favourite dishes were the Adobo chicken and pancit. The adobo was extremely bland and not traditional in any way, I am not even sure how much vinegar was used and it was more just a savoury soy-chicken. For $17 we received only two pieces of chicken (rice is not included) and this was extremely disappointing. The pancit had barely any meat in it, maybe 2 small shrimps and 3 small chicken pieces very confusing, and taste was just ok. Not a great value. Overall I think I would only recommend the silog dishes here, and the BBQ. I think they could be much better as it has a lot of potential, just lacking a lot in certain areas and it doesn t hit out of the park for me.

If you re a Filipino and looking for a food that feels like home, this is the place for you! They served authentic filipino dishes., like crispy pata that is well balanced cook with the softness and crisp, it goes very well with the touch of their homemade vinegar. Fresh lumpia(fresh springroll) and pancit batil patong(noodles) are cooked firmly and so delectable. Furthermore their staffs are polite and well trained to serve not just Filipinos but also other nationalities.

Took a friend who had never had Filipino food before and he was absolutely blown away by how good the food is. This is a really small place, so it might be hard to get a seat even without the covid restrictions! Make sure you get the sizzling sisig, pork hock, and kare kare!

Hello fellows, Its my first time to stop by and grab a meal here at Kulinarya restaurant. We got pork sisig which is my daughter favourite. And bangsilog , I like fish I seldom had a fish at home . Its delicious although a little pricy .you can try too and see if you like it.

Stopped by for lunch and ordered the Fiesta Rice (described as Rice dish topped with slices of crunchy pork belly, salted egg, fish flakes and vegetables) and the Laing (Dried taro leaves cooked in coconut milk, shrimp paste and smoked fish topped with lechon kawali) The Fiesta was simply a huge bowl of garlic rice with two finger-sized pieces of pork belly, half a salted egg and a tablespoon each of an assortment of vegetables. It was good, but way overpriced for just a bowl of rice The Laing was good but the price was again way out of line for the small amount provided. Made with shrimp paste, it would be too salty for most tastes; if you order, make sure you stress that it needs to be LESS salty. Neither of these dishes would be considered heart-friendly :-)

We ordered their lechon kawali and 4 skewers of BBQ pork and am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. Their lechon kawali is $16 and the amount your get is literally for a child and was not even very flavourful and crispy. The bbq pork skewers is priced at $15 for 4 skewers but the pork was not very big. For the price we paid, I was baffled at the portions it should be a crime. Save your money and go to Pin Pin instead! Never ever coming back!

The crispy pata was very saggy and oily as well as the spring roll. Very disppointed when I got them. Not worth the price. Maxs and Hapag are still the best when it comes to crispy pata.

As a Filipino I can testify that this is one of the better Filipino restaurants in the lower mainland. The staff was welcoming and I love the theme and vibe of the place. Personally I found the food a little salty for my liking, but then us Filipinos love salt.. Im just trying to stay healthy. The place is also very tiny, and can fill up pretty quickly.

Went in for lunch with a few people and ended up trying 5 dishes. The beef and pork dishes were quite good but the chicken dish was a touch on the bland side. The appies were ok, not wonderful but overall pretty satisfying. The staff were friendly and saw to our basic needs but could have been a little more attentive as we were the only people in the restaurant at the time. Prices are reasonable, certainly within the range of typical casual dining. Of the 3 entrees and 2 appies I think its safe to say 2 entrees and 1 appy were liked by all and the other 2 dishes were less popular. For me it was 3.5 stars but Ill keep the 4 stars since I dont know how to give half stars. Worth trying out, you dont find these dishes on many menus and they have some tasty options. The restaurant was clean but the decorations blocking the window looked like they need a cleaning or replacing.

Delicious food in large portions at good prices. I was a little disappointed that the tea she offered as an option to water came with a $2 charge. Was also disappointed that I didnt have my usual glass to go container in my car, so had to buy theirs for 25 cents each. I ordered the Vegan Sizzling Tofu-Sisig $ 14.00 Crispy tofu with vinegar, soy sauce, onion and chilies (very good 4/5) And Vegan Kare-kare $ 16.00 Fried eggplant, green beans, baby bok choy in stewed peanut sauce (SOOOOOO yummie! 5/5)

Nice staff. I chose the Kumayan meal for 13. There was minimal meat portions of each kind. Common thoughts of my guests were not enough meat to go around. Too much of everything else. Good if your vegetarian. But I wouldnt try the Kumayan again. Just order your own meals. 20% gratuity added on to your bill is the agreement. Mine was 93.00 for 470.00 meal. Then it was subtotal with tip. Then taxed. Your tip is taxed!?? Kinda dampers my experience.

Lovely Filipino fare. I lived in the Philippines for a while and do much about this place reminded me of my time there. Bring a bunch of friends and order a selection, because everything is good. And... there are vegan options! That didn t even make sense to me, considering how much of a role seafood and meat play in Filipino cuisine, but they pull it off nicely!

Food and service was good! Please note you should bring your own containers to take your food home as they charge you 25 cents per container for any food leftover. I have never heard of such a thing when we went to eat our food again after being in the fridge the containers were all wet and collapsed as they are made out of cheap paper. It s quite unfortunate as a paying customer we need to also pay for to go containers. I would have given 5 stars if not for that.

Rarely go to Filipino restaurant because of the previous experience with food being too salty and oily so I d rather cook myself. Tried Kulinarya today since we are looking for a place to eat around Coquitlam, we ordered Caldereta and grilled squid, I would say their food is good. Taste like a home cooking, the serving is not so big but I don t mind because it s more of a quality over quantity here. Thanks for making good quality food!

Then many days later they called saying we have to change the time because they had booked a large party for the kamayan fest .. like hmm thats not our problem , we clearly had booked a reservation first . Anyway decided to just not try this place so go to La Meza grill .

The place is fairly small - definitely a few tables too many squeezed in. The atmosphere would be ok if not for being able to hear the clanging in the kitchen. The dishes are hit or miss. The spring rolls and the gata chicken was delicious. The pinakbet was a little bland and lacking in the shrimp paste department. The sisig overpowering and needed something to cut the pork, like calamansi or lemon juice. Id stick to more mundane menu items like the lechon kawali, chicken adobo, or pork barbecue to avoid disappointment.

We just moved to Coquitlam, and I was craving filipino food. I read so much good reviews here so I decided to come and try their food. Friendly staff, but their food is overpriced. I bought lechon kawali and Im not exaggerating there was only 14 tiny pieces of pork belly in the container and the skin was sooo hard that u cant bite into it. Came with the sauce but the lady gave me 1 lechon sauce and 1 bagoong. The pancit tasted good but I dont think I will come again. I had better food than this. Its too expensive, I dont know how they have so much good reviews. But you have to try to experience it yourself. Everyone is different!.
