There’s no better comfort than food from home! The best and authentic Filipino Cuisine in Canada! My husband and I, were travelling from London and visited Toronto for a week. The comfort food was Mang Jose’s cuisine! I had the, sisig, kilawen na isda and the fried chicken, the fried chicken is crispy, crunchy, tastes perfect and not greasy for a very affordable price. There are multiple menu selections, and we had to go back several times to have a taste of each! From pancit to Kare-Kare, and desserts like halo-halo to name a few! Most of all the Chef and crew are courteous and amazing! You will be greeted with a smile as you walk in. Felt like home away from home! Thank you Mang José! We will be back!

Too many bad experiences with this place. Although close to my condo therefore convenient, ended up being inconvenienced too many times due to crooked staff who play stupid and cashiers constantly trying to scam you by overcharging and/or scoop only broth and hardly any meat in an already puny sized “LARGE” take out container. Better off going to Wilson and save myself the hassle of having to tell the owner what went wrong again. I gave them soooo many chances to get things right.

This is a great place for traditional Filipino home cooked dishes. Nestled along Bathurst St. across Baycrest Hospital, you can't miss the big "Mang Jose" sign outside. They have about 14 dishes that include goat stew, kare-kare, kaldereta, sinigang, papaitan, bangus sa tawsi, pansit, bicol express,adobo, bistek, sinigang, callos, bopis, etc. They also have their famous fried chicken, krispy pata, and also they have turon and lumpia. They also serve ice cream in rocky road, mango, cotton candy, strawberry, green tea, vanila, etc. Halo halo is also avalailable. Not to mention, they have a variety of kilawin if you are into that. The serving portions are generous and priced affordably. This is a really nice clean place for dine in or take out. I think this place will become a very popular staple in the area and will build up great following, myself included. I believe they are now also available to order via delivery services. Again, all the best Mang Jose, we'll be back shortly. :)

The worst customer service ever, this restaurant doesn't have any complimentary ketchup for there FAMOUS FRIED CHICKEN?😂😳 The lady canceled the transaction because she forgot to charge me for the bag😂 Not recommending at all! And the lady gave me heads up that next time i know whats the drill, that nothing is free😂

Super friendly staff and the crispy pata was so good with a lot of meat not just fat and skin 🍖 the skin was crispy and the meat juicy and moist. It was a good price. Often I find crispy pata is soo expensive with little meat. This was the best price and super delicious. Also I really liked their turon and they had lots. Places always run out lol

I tried their Sinigang and it's sooo good! 😌 Their fried chicken is yummy too and it's only 1.75 a piece! ❤️ Their ice cream as well are soooo tasty and affordable.

SCAM ALERT!!!! $15 for a drink, rice and 3 pieces of small frozen sausage! I won't be coming back.

I always recommend their fried chicken to my family and to our family friends that they have the best affordable chicken. However, I was very disappointed last Sunday when I ask my mom-in-law to buy the chicken for me. It was burned and dry fried chicken seemed like they have used a recycled oil too many times to fry it. Very disappointed 😔

This place had potential from what I saw for photos posted on Google. Went in for take out and didnt reflect that expectation. It might of been at the wrong time or because in restaurant dining was not available but it was a turn off. Food looked like it had been sitting for a long time. Not appetizing at all. I wouldnt recommend this place.

Absolutely LOVE the fried chicken here! We stopped in to order some Filipino food but everything was mostly sold out so we just grabbed a few pieces of chicken to go. Boy am I glad because it s probably the juiciest and crispiest fried chicken in Toronto! I would stop in again the next time I m up in this area!

Good tasting Pinoy food and reasonably priced, too. Combo is only $5.99 while watching Filipino tv.
