Kiko's in North York

Came here for the first time tonight, my fiance and I have been meaning to take the drive over but have not had the chance to. We were in the area and luckily we remembered this place and so we came to try it. Sadly we were extremely disappointed.. the chicken inasal was dry and burnt you can tell the chicken is old and re-cooked by the texture. The rice also had tiny bits that were hard that hurt my teeth. Now that we have gone home and the food has settled, my fiance and I do not feel well with terrible stomach aches. I m not sure if it was because we came an hour before closing but there was still many people eating inside the restaurant. Sadly we probably will not come back

Chicken Inasal is on point! Three goat dishes, standard Pork and Chicken barbecue, usual Filipino comfort food, free bulalo soup while you wait! Food

The chicken inasal is soooo good and the two for I think $22 is a really good value. The rice and sauces serves with it are very flavourful.

Food was great

Great customer service with reasonable pricing and serving size. Unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. We ordered chicken inasal, dinuguan, and pork and chicken BBQs. If I had blinded tested the Inasal, I would not have been able to tell that it was what I was eating. The dinuguan was barely okay. The free broth which is customarily served hot was tepid. Overall the depth of flavours just weren t there. I was also disappointed though not overly surprised that many of their grilled meat items have already been pre-grilled (a practice done by other Filipino eateries I ve tried within GTA), and are only reheated when an order is placed. This is probably done to save on time and operational costs but a MAJOR downside of this is the impact it has on the quality of the food - the food is no longer fresh and it truly shows; the meat is dry and the flavours are considerably muted. I was really looking forward to checking this place out because of the content I saw on social media, however was really disappointed with the quality of the food. Lastly, and this is not just with Kiko s but the whole plaza including the neighbouring establishments, it s probably worth mentioning cleanliness. The limited outdoor space between the store entrances and the parking space is littered with so many small pieces of trash. To put it bluntly, it makes the plaza look run-down and dingy. I m not sure whose responsibility it is to keep this area tidy (either the individual owners or the city, or both?) but having a clean business store front goes a long way, and demonstrates pride of ownership.

Food was decent. Had to wait 30 minutes for to get to the table. Most disappointing thing was the cashier did not point out the 10% service fee. She did tell me about the 50 cent charge for using my credit card and pointed out the tipping choices. I tapped 10% and that included the service fee in the total. Service did not deserve a 21% tip.

Food are good, ambiance is good and we enjoyed it. It was four of us when we went there, but surprisingly service charge are automatic when we ask for the bill without telling me and the server didnt give me a copy of my bill so I wasnt aware of that, so basically I was charge for the tips double. They should not put service charge if its not more than 6 pax or atleast mentioned to the guest so theyre aware of it.

The milkfish and pork skewers I ordered are both overly dried. Is this purposely to fill a stomach or enjoy good food. I don t get it.

Outstanding service and delicious eats

The inasal is amazing

Nothing special in this restaurant especially the libr, very cold and the rest foods are just right. 2 stars for me.

its a really good Filipino restaurant! The vibe of the place was so homey and nostalgic alone, but with the food, it was such a great experience overall! We ordered all the silog and it was delicious. The price was so reasonable too. The staff were really friendly and approachable which makes me definitely want to come back another day.

Best chicken inasal in toronto! The staff are so nice they are friendly and keep on checking the customers if they need anything. my family will go back here for sure to try other dishes! Must try: chicken inasal, pork liempo (yummy!), dinakdakan- my husband likes it. Only thing I can think of for improvement is that they dont have chicken oil (i miss mang inasal chicken oil hehe).

Great service ! Please take care of your employees they are very important to your business. They were friendly and respectful. Our favourite food were adobong pusit and bagnet. Salamat sa libreng soup, my god sabaw palang , ulam na!

I love grilled chicken here.

The barbecued pork tasted really nice. My friend ordered Dinuguan combo to go with the BBQ skewers and totally loved it!

the food was delicious and thinking you will be back again to try another dish The service are awesome employees are to friendly and the atmosphere are great too keep it up the good service Food

Their food is tasty and savoury. Chicken and rice dish is $11, it s hard to find cheap eat like this in GTA so it s 5/5 for me Food

Good food, good service

Great and inexpensive food! Must try!

You come here for the chicken inasal. Probably the closest thing to inasal from home in Toronto (though not quite Bacolod level yet). The service when I went though? Next level. Extra soup even before I asked. They saw me snap a photo of my food, they ask if we wanted a group photo together unprompted. On the way out I needed a lid, the lady behind the counter saw me approach and had one ready before I got there. Granted it wasn t a crazy busy evening but nothing like old school customer service or in this case, Filipino hospitality.

I love Kiko s food, from inasal to BBQs and bagnet; it s the best! The prices are affordable, and you ll also get free soup when you dine in. I recommend this place to anyone who loves Filipino dishes

Ordered the BOGO chicken inasal meal, grilled whole tilapia, and vegetable lumpia. My favorite was the lumpia. The veggies tasted fresh and crispy. The chicken and tilapia however were very dry and not that tasty. The meal came with a soy-vinegar sauce and pickles but even those sides couldn t save the dryness. It was very disappointing.

Food is good. Great customer service. Offered soup while I waited for take out, was a very nice gesture.

The service was great, plus the food and desserts were awesome and affordable. It was a fun experience and I highly recommend this place! I ll be back again Food

Really enjoyed the Kamayan Feast at Kiko s. Good amount of food for the price. Shrimp and skewers in particular were very delicious.

Highly Reco!!! Im unable to share photos of us or the food we ordered because were too hungry and excited to try their Dinuguan, especially Kambal Inasal! Well make it up next time (^_^) The server, Kuya Trish, is incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating! If he happens to serve you, oh my, he will truly make your day great.

Reasonable prices. Fast service. Friendly and polite staff. Tried their inasal, lomi, and pork sisig and have been satisfied. Glad to have another great restaurant in the area. Will definitely return to try other menu items.

I was excited to try out their chicken inasal as they were highly recommended. Unfortunately, My friend and I were disappointed. We came around lunch time. Service was ok, it was nice that they gave free refill beef broth during our meal but the chicken didnt seem fresh. It was dry and it seemed they didnt really heat up so it was a bit cold when we ate it. I also took some for take out for my son and his brackets on his braces almost broke as their were broken bone fragments that youre unable to feel until it was bitten into.

Food was good. However, I waited for a plate of chicken inasal and 2 skewers for 45 minutes. They gave 2 spring rolls to apologize, but I wanted to let the management know so your service can be improved.

The barbecue chicken/pork plates are CHEAP and generously portioned. I 100% recommend it. The kamayan is pretty good too but I like other places better.

I got the Kamayan box for takeout and everything was very flavourful and grilled well. First time trying it but really happy about the experience.

Great service! Amazing food! Very slept on! Yall need to check them out, they will not disappoint! Can t wait to come back and try something new! Food

Service was terrible - the lady working the remittance section took our order - dine in for 2 dishes x 2, 1 chicken inasal on the side, 2 cans of soft drinks, total came up to $52.00 (round up - taxes in) I am pretty sure the remittance lady screwed up with ringing up my order and overcharged me - 2 combo meals come to $13.50 (2 Dish combo meal with 2 sides)+ $13.50 (2 Dish combo meal with 2 sides)+ $9.00 (Chicken Inasal) + $3.00 (Nestea) + $3.00 (Gingerale) = $42.00/$47.46 I m not sure if they charge a service charge but there was an overcharge of up to $5.00, conveniently she didn t give me a receipt. My wife just told me to let it go and give the overcharge amount as a tip The one thing I cannot accept is that there was a lady lined up at the remittance section of the restaurant and our server decided to finish her order first before ours; to make matters worst another lady comes by and she decides to help her out my wife and I at this point are standing, and wondering, Are you going to finish our order? , if it wasn t for my wife, I would given them a piece of my mind and walked out Service: 0/5 Pinkakbet - it was ok and needed more shrimp paste for seasoning. Bland and a little oily. Menudo - it was bland and needed more seasoning. At least it had plenty of meat such as pork and liver. Kare Kare - I like that they give shrimp paste on the side and keep the vegetable separate from the meat until a customer orders - this dish was good for me. Beef Calderta - I liked this dish, spicy and well seasoned. Meat was tender and vegetables were properly cooked (potato and carrots) Chicken Inasal - very salty and meat was a little undercooked. Food: 2.5/5 Overall: Some dishes are not good and needs more seasoning; I recommend the beef calderta and kare kare . Chicken Inasal - if you like salty food, go for it but I would ask them to cook a little more to avoid salmonella poisoning. Service is really really really bad and to the remittance lady - you should not be serving the restaurant customers and kindly asking you to stick to your remittance booth - you need to work more on your customer service skills - maybe try finishing up your current customers before moving to another one. Definitely a first and last for me, there are better options in the Bathurst and Wilson area.

Good Filipino food..

This place is now called Tinuno. Awesome kamayan!

Nice food. Berry cool.

amazing food.

I only come here for remittance, but lately they are not reliable. It takes 3 days for my fam to collect money in cebuana . So frustrating.

friendly staff, food was great

Great Kamayan, very fresh barbecued seafood and pork, a lot of food and great value

Was confused trying to find this place only to realize it mashed/fused with Tinuno it looks like. Menu and packaging all says Tinuno now, which is great because we been to the downtown location as well Kamayan feast is great as always - tasty, well cooked, flavorful and very nicely displayed. Enjoyed this location better with more decor, more tables and seemed less hectic than the other location Also got the pork sinigang which was very good and tart! Nice pairing with the feast to balance out the meal Its always a fun meal to have, would come back again. Just be mindful that parking in the plaza is tiny and lots of construction going on in the street.

Come with someone who knows how to order. They put a bunch of stuff on leaves and you eat together

Great Filipino cuisine.

My friend found this place from Yelp so we decided to try it with my family who were visiting. Food and service were great. Price was so cheap. Will definitely be coming back to this place with my many non-Filipino friends.

One of those places you dont expect much from the outside. As others have said though. The price is very good for quality. Had a Kamayan dinner for 12 here, and was about 253 which included unlimited rice a free desert. Service is good too. They actually make time to come around and check, everything was regularly topped off.

Try their boodle dish

Best filipino food restaurant in Toronto. The squid is perfectly cooked and not chewy at all. The portions are huge and the price is great. The service is very friendly. We drive 2 hours just to go to this awesome place with our family.

A great place for Kamayan and the quality is good. The service is also good and the price is aligned with what you get and the ice cream dessert is good.

BEST FILIPINO FOOD IN TORONTO!! Number 1 for both taste and customer service. It really tastes like back home. We always get the Kamayan Platter. Amazing portions and value. Everything is grilled perfectly and seasoned well. Usually get the squid and milkfish. Love that it comes with mango and vegetables. The garlic rice really completes it. They make their halo halo just like they do back in the Philippines. Lots of toppings with even ube ice cream and leche flan. It s perfect! Actually all their desserts are so good they usually sell out by the time we order. The pancit is delicious and the sisig. There s nothing I wouldn t reorder on their menu. We never have any complaints or anything bad to say about this place and we have ordered from every other place you can get delivered. They don t make mistakes and their cooking is always masta If you really want to experience what real Filipino food tastes like, this is the place to go! Also their staff is too cute!! They always go above and beyond. Can t wait to order again.

Good food! Kind staffs

Way way WAY better than I could have imagined. The dinner set was very yummy. Maybe the only thing to criticize was the portions of veggies but maybe thats just the type of cuisine we had.

We bought 2 portions of topsilog with garlic rice. The meat was extremely tender and very flavourful. I would definitely make the trip again just for that dish. Although, we ordered a portion of the liempo and we werent satisfied. The thin pieces were burnt and the thicker pieces were undercooked. Stick with the tapsilog.

It was my first time here with friends. The food was good quality and the eating area was clean. Only downside was they were out of BBQ pork when we went in. They had a deal which included a good variety of seafood and pork belly, some veggies. They had sauces available for our use. Mango salad was also nice. I was happy it was unlimited rice. They served dessert of your choice of one of 3 flavours of ice cream which included ube, mango and coconut. All the ice creams were good.

Besides the service being a little slow, the food was good and we were pretty satisfied. The lunch Kamayan was $16/person with unlimited garlic rice and mango salad. The fish was a little too charred for my liking. Dessert was included which was nice, it was a choice of vanilla or mango or ube icecream.

Its a nice location with great food. The kind of a gem of the town. Every time when I get the chance I stop by for a little treat.

The TURON (Dessert Banana Spring Roll) is very exceptional, its something you would need to have as a perfect ending to any meals from here. Proportions are generous, based on take out. I havent been able to visit, but when I do I would like to try their Kamayan ( Boodle. ) Because you can taste the love and passion they put into the food. Im a fan of the Bagnet & Bangus, when we get a BBQ craving we also include pork sticks. Since we now know about the Turon, we at least get 2 per person. Although it looks shareable, you will not want to share.

Ill try another order the next time i visit. For some reason, the one i had today wasnt really the food/taste i was expecting. The reviews are raving. I mustve missed their best seller.

The chicken inasal I ordered wasnt cooked properly and there pancit bihon is tasteless.

Honestly, who can say no to kamayan. Shame that there are so many fake 5 star reviews on this page. They are completely unnecessary, when your food is actually good.

I ordered from this spot on Ubereats because I was craving some traditional Filipino bbq dishes and I ended up ordering the adult kamayan. The tilapia tastes just like how my mom makes it, the bbq skewer was sweet and tender, and I really enjoyed the garlic rice. The lechon on the side was a bit dry but other than that, my meal was A1! I would definitely order from here again.

Great Filipino food

Love the food. fresh and tasty and good value for kamayan. Nice people.

Food is so good and they cook the rice with an extra twist . It was our second time to visit the place and were definitely going back.

clean and inviting.. food is good and just the right proportion.

Love it

The food is great.

Good tasty food

As a big fan of Filipino Kamayan feast, I had a good dining experience here in Bagnet Bros. Love how they just give you ice cream for dessert too!! Compared to other similar locations, this place was less crowded ans the food was seasoned well. And their sauces are the BEST. There were only few minor issues --the eggplant was a little overcooked (burnt) and the fish was a bit undercooked. Would definitely come back again!

Cozy. Friendly people and food they serve, cant say fabulous great and good...

Good food but some staples noticeably missing from the menu. Bifsteak? Adobo?

Good kamayan and pretty cheap. Comes with unli-rice and free dessert! (Turon was yummy!)

People are soooo friendly and the food is really wonderful. Restaurant is nice and tidy too!

Great food. Nice staff. Good pricing.

Great place to get hands-on with your food literally. With breakfast options and food on the side to add to regular ala carte orders, or Kamayan ( eating by hand and the food is served on top of banana leaves) for a group or simply for two. Make a reservation so they can prepare. Great service to go with the tasty bbq food, especially the bagnet/ roasted, crispy pork and make sure you try and/or take home the various desserts they have to offer. Must note their awesome sauces too as they compliment the food and brings back amazing memories from back home in the Philippines.

This was my first time trying this type of food so not sure what to expect. I was underwhelmed by the food. Personally I found the food to be bland. But for the price it was a decent amount of food and ice-cream was included in the price too. Service was decent,place wasnt busy so food came quickly.

Amazing service and food. Reminds me of back home.

Amazing food and excellent service!! Well done!!

Definitely worth the trip to North York! The food is delicious and the service is amazing. A great family experience. Must try!!

Great place to dine and experience a taste of the Philippines. Kamayan is a must try. Bagnet fries also a must.

Good food, amazing service! Everything a customers wants! Go try, its a must try!

Best boodle fight in Toronto! Had an amazing time with friends. Great skewers amazing juciy grilled food items. Generous portions. Great pricing. Tasty garlic rice (and no additional cost if you want more!). Already been here multiple times and had an incredible experience each time!

Delicious and great value. Best in the neighbourhood... no question- Get the Kamayan platter!

One of the best value meals I ve had in Toronto. The seafood platter was delicious, and a great experience. Amazing staff that make you feel welcome.

First time here. Saw this place had kamayan and decided to try it out. First impressions pretty much standard in terms of food offerings for the kamayan. Staff was generally friendly and helpful not as attentive. This place is fairly newly opened and is not liquor licensed. They also have some prepared hot foods available. Will probably return with some friends for the kamayan. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has not tried it before and had to Google what kamayan was!

I went in with my family for a birthday party and chose to go with the Boodle Fight. It was a great experience. Service was amazing, the food was really filling, and there was a lot of variety for what to choose from. I feel like I definitely got my moneys worth. The family behind the restaurant makes you feel like you are part of them as well. Ill definitely recommend this place to other people!

Gotta give this guys 5 stars! That bagnet and garlic rice were so good i went for another set. The owner is friendly and very accommodating. Next try will be their kamayan servings! They have unlimited garlic rice, why not?!

This place is incredible! My wife and I dropped in for the All Day silog breakfast and couldnt decide on which ones to choose. Sensing our inability to decide, someone came over and let us know that we could simply order their platter for $10.50 which came with rice and egg (obviously), tocino, longanisa, and one other meat. I chose the grilled bangus, which was delicious, and my wife got the bagnet. The bagnet though... Crispy skin, tender meat, a good but not overwhelming layer of fat, and like everything else we had, impressively flavourful. Well be coming back in a couple weeks with a group of friends to try out their kamayan. Hoping itll be just as good and the in-house pandesal will be available :)

My Friends have been hyping this spot for the longest time and I finally got a chance to drop in. If you re feeling for some Filipino food definitely drop by here. It s Perfect portions, not to much not to little it s just right. I m definitely coming back here

We went here for brunch on a Saturday. The place was clean and we had their all-day breakfast. This place offers the Filipino silogs but one thing they have thats unique is their bagnetsilog and its rare to find a filipino resto offering the said bagnet. Their portions are adequate and its a little bit cheaper compared to others.

Great Filipino food! Excellent service :)

The food is so good

Excellent service, smiling staff and very tasty and crunchy bagnet.

If you are looking for good food and good service, best Filipino foods, be here!!! Always good experience we have here.

Omg pork belly breakfast

Amazing food and service. The staff is friendly and prompt. Music and atmosphere gave nice vibes while eating and conversing!

The tapa in their tapsilog is very salty (even with vinegar in it) and I hardly enjoyed it. Other than that, the service, kamayan and all day breakfast platter is fab!!

Great Filipino food, passionate and producing quality. I like how they are not just catering to the Filipino crowd, theyre actually trying to welcome everyone to experience Filipino food. They have fresh and real calamansi! You dont get that anywhere.

Really good

Excellent food, and atmosphere

I love this place so much. Staff was super friendly and accomodating, food is amazing and prices are good. Recommend: the all day breakfast with Filipino steak, bagnet fries is a must have, pork skewers is must have, and the purple icecream is sooooo good

I loved the grilled fish and pork from here! Simply amazing food, and I love how this is a family run business!
