Ordered food through Uber today! And you guys served us lumpia, which some are undercooked aside from the fact that it was already very soggy and cold when delivered! We ended up cutting all of it in half and checked it one by one! Felt really bad because the kids had already been eating it when we noticed. The pancit looked delicious but tasted not! There's shrimp on toppings, which was very smelly!

Love to dine here with friends, just avoiding a certain lead singer who told my daughter not to come when he is the lead... afraid to get exposed for what he really is! So now we go dine somewhere else...

Went during the Taste of Manila event to support a friend who was performing. The place was packed and it was very hot inside! The airconditioner was not able to cool the place. We had the sizzling pork sisig, pork barbecue, tokwa’t baboy and garlic fried rice. Food tasted great and our server was friendly and efficient. I would go back for the food.

The food here was awesome to say the least. It was so flavorful and service was quick.. The BBQ was also very fresh as they were cooking it outside as you walk in. Portions are also well served which does reflect a little on the price but it's OK as you are getting a good amount of food. Lemonades are also very tasty! We went for lunch but it looks like evenings are fun here 😂

We came here on Wednesdays night and they had a live performance. Intimate atmosphere and a lovely vibe. I do think this place is very familial. People would get a bucket of alcohol and have relaxing dinner with family and friends. The food portion is big and delicious. I would love to go back and try everything in the menu. You won't find such an authentic vibe like this anywhere else. Highly recommend

I love Phillipines culture. I'm a Caribbean, and I've been to the Philippines' great food and entertainment. This bar / restaurant is a little taste of home, for my wife, and I'm happy to always join in the fun. I always order something different, and I'm always pleased.

We order singing na bangus but we re disappointed the bangus was fillet slices and marinated with scales on. We ordered fried da-ing bangus just to figured out if they are using the same bangus. Well well what an ignorant chef. They need to learn how to serve proper foods on the table since we are paying the right price. I don t recommend this place to anyone.

First time trying Filipino food. We didnt really like it, we had a beef stew which had mostly fat and very little meat. We also had a dish with shrimps..they were very pasty, we didnt eat them. I would go again with a Filipino friend, maybe I just didnt know what to order. ( The beef dish was in the most popular section)

Website and menu needs to be updated. First time going and it was good. They were accommodating, table is a bit small for our orders. It felt like its more for bar like setting rather than dining. Pork sinigang, mix pansit, pork sisig was great, pork bbq is a bit tough to eat but portions are generous. Overall experience is nice.

My friends and I are frequent guests of this place as we love karaoke and we enjoy the live band. But this time we took our kids to this place for a change. We ordered a bunch of dishes and apps but we are very dissatisfied. Though our server which we never caught his name (he never introduced himself) was excellent and tipped him generously (45) . I wish theyd do better

Republika RestoBar and Grill is one of our favorite Filipino food hubs in Toronto. I really like their varied sumptuous menu and the live music that never fails to give a truly Pinoy feeling while dining there. During our most recent visit, we were waited on and served by Riza. She was warm, kind and efficient. It was a busy night but she managed to give us the attention and assistance we needed. Will definitely return.

Came in based on a recommendation from a family member. Sat there for 20-30 minutes without any service. This place was not busy at all, but customers that came in after us, received drinks and food before we even met who our server was supposed to be. Very disappointed.

One of the great Filipino restobar atmospheres you can find in all of the GTA. Has a live stage and good sized patio. The food is delicious and fairly priced. I went on a Monday night and as others have said, the service is very lackluster. The wait staff were very overworked. There appeared to be 2 wait staff servicing the whole fully packed restaurant including the outdoor patio. It would take ages to get their attention. When the staff finally came they were pretty cold and unenthusiastic, but I believe it was because they were stressed and overwhelmed. Its really sad cause if management can fix the service this place would be 5 stars. Hope things will change in the future.

This is not the place to go late night Sundays. It took 15 mins for us to get seated, another 15 mins for us to get noticed by a server. We arrived 9:45pm, seated at 10pm, greeted 1015pm. We ordered food at 1015, did not receive all of what we ordered. They close the kitchen at 1030 without even doing a round for last call. Not to mention customer service is weak also. Very hard to flag down a server, they neglected our table all of them and the hassle to get water was not great when usually in other places they greet with water there

2/10 because the food was decent. I should have read the reviews thoroughly. The food was not bad, 8/10 for me. We came for dinner and I understand after a long day servers are tired, however, that doesn t excuse poor service. Gentleman with a beanie hat has a bit of an attitude. Wasn t completely rude but wasn t very welcoming either. Also.. apparantly they add a cover charge to your bill when there s a band performing? I was shocked. I was not expecting to pay an extra $10 for a show, also, if they told us that before seating us, we wouldn t have dined in. I didn t come to the restaurant to watch a band, I came to dine in and enjoy the food. Anyway, bill came up to $86 (originally would have been $70) we paid $100. The gentleman took the money and never bothered to come back with our change. We had to ask another server for our change and waited an extra 20 mins for our change. He Dropped it off, with a sassy attitude. How do you expect to get a tip for poor service .? But my friend ended up tipping anyway. If it was up to me I wouldn t have left anything. I don t think I will be returning here to eat. Wasn t too pleased. I was vlogging the food and was going to give an amazing review until the added cover charge and the attitude I decided it was not worth spreading the word.

I dont usually write reviews this dramatic but the host man that stands at the door and organizing the waitlist and taking names down is with out a doubt one of the most unprofessional and rudest individuals i have seen in this city. It is unfortunate given how good the food was. On the 23rd around 9pm I had come here with some friends and we had put our names down and sat on the patio ordered food and once it was time for us to go in this ill mannered host proceeded to be extremely rude and perverse to our friend group. In the restaurant one can see children of all ages with adult supervision but according to him you cannot enter the restaurant if you are a minor, when one of my acquaintances did not have his ID(during his previous visits he never needed one) he proceeded to deny entry with no explanation as this is a family friendly restaurant to our knowledge. If he is correct then i admit ignorance to that fact but we saw multiple children of all ages ranging from babies and toddlers to young teens if this host is correct this restaurant is extremely careless and putting children in danger and should be investigated for such matters.

April 21, 2024

This is a restaurant fairly well known in my community so it s a shame for me to have to leave such a poor review. I had come here last Saturday with my family and while the food here is pretty good the service is not. The staff were very cold and unwelcoming, in fact we weren t even let inside the restaurant. We sat on the patio, where our waitress served us with apathy, waiting for our turn to be seated inside. However our turn probably would have never come had I not followed up about it multiple times, to which the man guarding the host stand ultimately responded with what was just short of pretty much refusing us entry for no reason. Unbelievable.

April 21, 2024

I ordered to try their sarabasab because someone recommended it to me and said it was delicious. I am very disappointed. I have ordered from others, but here it is so bad that I can only count the meat that was given, almost all of it is already fat. Are you hungry waiting for your order, disappointed? This is my last order here.

April 21, 2024

Horrible experience with the host. Came with my cousins (party of 5) of which all are Filipino background but were made to feel unwelcomed and dissed by this host. Poor customer service skills and rude. Waited in outside after informing the host how many were with me. Can see inside the restaurant and noticed a few empty tables that could accommodate us. A few parties came after us and were able to get seated before us. After waiting about 20 minutes, I mentioned this to the host and he didnt bother to respond. Just an attitude. Waited another 5-10 minutes because my cousin was eager to try the sisig. We finally had enough and left after another group came and was allowed to go in before us. And no, they did not have reservations. Very very disappointing and upsetting...the place, should not be prejudice to ones background but it seems that is the case here

I ve recently dined here and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The service was impeccable. The server was attentive without being intrusive, and they were knowledgeable about the menu, providing excellent recommendations. As for the food, it was outstanding. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and it was evident that careful attention was paid to every detail. I particularly enjoyed the LOMI, which was a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Overall, my experience in Republika was exceptional, and I cant wait to return soon with my friends. I love eating while listening to the band.

Come here only for the food but service is soooo bad. Ive went twice already with my boyfriend first visit was not welcoming, the waitress didn t even bother to greet us and we took forever just to get our bill and we have to yell to get the waitress attention, also they forgot the rice that ive ordered and on the side when the waitress served us the water ive noticed she have the empty cups on her armpit which is not sanitary. The second visit we did was take out last Saturday hoping for a better service since its just take out and tbh service needs to be improved a lot or gotta need to hire new employees. We told the girl waitress we want to take out and one of the girl took us to the front and left us to gossip without giving us the menu or bringing us another hostess to take our order. We had to look Around for a menu and waited 5 minutes just to take our orders we had to look for another waitress. Like if you are going to gossip take our order first and serve your customers. Really bad experience and we ve told my family and friends about this so they can avoid this and not expect anything.

Ordered french fries that are depicted in the picture. Got nachos instead. Poor customer service where people dont make eye contact or communicate efficiently. Food was terrible. Will not be coming back. Wings were soggy and didnt taste good either. Only thing that was okay were the pork bbq skewers, other items were overpriced and tasted horrible. Felt like a waste of both time and money. Will not be coming back to this place or recommend it to anyone. Will tell people to stay clear of substandard service and giving people wrong items. How do you not verify that a customer is receiving the order they paid for? Sheer incompetence.

March 21, 2024

Me and my friend went there on a satuday night. It was our first time and that waitress was so rude. If youre visiting this bar make sure to check the charges or ask for invoice as they will bill you items that you didnt order. And the waitress would argue with you even if youre just trying to dispute the charges. Wont be coming back.

The food and the atmosphere is great but last night my friends and I were waiting to get inside after at the patio. But when we got inside the bouncer put us at the very far back which is fine. the table is for 6 to 8 people So I requested to the waiter for us to transfer at the table near the middle as it is empty na and there are only 3 of us. So the waiter cleaned the table and was going to transfer us near the middle but the bouncer interrupted and insisted for us to stay were we are. And it s very disrespectful for him to do that sabi nya dito lang kami sa Likod. Is it because we are gay and trans? Napaka homophobic nang bouncer nyo. Talagang sinabi nya at maraming nakakita at ni wave nya kamay nya samin na dito lang kami sa likod? Very disappointing and disrespectful. We felt unwelcome sa bar nyo. Kaya umalis kami nang friend ko agad. Homophobic pala bouncer nyo which is so sad. Kaya hindi na kami pupunta ulit and not going to recommend the bar. We felt unwelcome sa bouncer nyo

Republika, listen to the people on social media if you want people to come back to your place. Apparently, a lot of people had the same negative experience with your staff. Wag nyong gawing excuse na busy ang place kaya ganoon umasta ibang staff nyo. If she didn t like her job, she shouldn t be dealing with customers in the first place! She s acting like all customers are a huge inconvenience and she appeared like she didn t want to be there. Zero customer service skills. I m sure I m not the only one who had this experience. You ever seen that video on Tiktok of a customer who went to your restaurant that went viral? Masungit staff nyo especially yung babae. Look at the comment section and you ll know what I mean. In summary, nasty and extremely rude staff.

We have been looking everywhere for good fried crispy pork. Found it! This place is a lot of fun for Kareoke, live bands, great food. When we went it was pretty full so there was a short wait to get a table.

The service is very bad ... Very slow .. I asked for 1 beer three times and it never came

December 21, 2023

We are a group of Latinos, very bad service from the waiters, rude, and our orders took more than 1 hour to serve, the beers were hot and in the end they didnt even serve us, we will never return.

The best BBQ I ve tried. I loved their Chicken BBQ and Isaw. The pancit was very good Big portion of Pancit and Crispy Pata. Plus the Gulaman is perfect!! I love everything I ordered and it s worth the price. Will always come back here for the BBQ.

Worst pancit I have ever tried in my life. If you take off the shrimp and the pork toppings, the pancit itself has no taste at all. I wish they could make the pancit better. It s like cooked by a grade 5 student. I am giving a 2 for food instead of 1 because the bbq was decent

My favourite Filipino restaurant in Toronto, serves the best filipino dishes and very cozy environment. Amazing people, with a wonderful service. I love this place, always feels like home. I also left my bag here, and made sure to give it to the right person. I appreciate it so much.

Very terrible customer service. My family and i felt very unwelcomed. Nobody came to assist us so we just stood up and left. Will never come back again.

Im from Brampton, feels like Im in the philippines when we visit the area, tried the ihaw and seafoods dish, taste delicious. The one thing is i barely see most of the server smiling. They just drop the food. compared to filipino resto bar in mississauga they are polite and friendly. And 1st time seeing no division on mens urinal washroom

I loved the barbecue, lumpia was okay. Sisig was a little dry and the rice was overcooked. We sat on the patio and they had a dj playing music and it was too loud, which reminded me of the typical bars back in the Philippines. I would love to come back to try their other dishes however I didn t like how the server treated us. It felt like he was inconvenienced by us so I didn t try to order anything more even if I wanted to. He seemed nice and he was smiling to other customers. My friend thought it s probably because of his nationality/race. I felt embarrassed by it because what my friend said may not be far from the truth.

The best Filipino food Ive ever had! There is karaoke

December 21, 2023

I went here twice and same as usual the customer service was absolutely terrible. The staff was extremely rude. Me and my friends went here the other night for foods and drinks at the same time and they let us wait in the gate for like a minute, however the guy who assisted us in the table was rude and didn t even bother greeting us which makes the mood awkward. When we were seated the waiter/staff cannot be found? So, after a while a staff came in and get the order. After a while, we decided to get a drinks from their bar so we call other staff and we greeted him nicely and he just look at us rudely. So we stull decided to order drinks, and he went on Who s your waiter? and we tell him the tall guy blah blah and so we just let him go because he ruin our mood absolutely. The point here is he can tell us nicely however he decided to just rudely walk away because he don t want to deal with us? so yes customer service was the worse here!!! not recommended

Im craving Filipino food so we tried to order thru Doordash. It came on time and was happy because the serving is big especially for Tapsilog it has more meat or tapa than other Filipino store. Then we tried their Seafood it was so yummy like Captains Boil a mix of shrimp, mussel, and squid. But no crab but still flavor is savoury. Definitely will recommended and will try some other dish.

I ordered fish and chips it was the worst the fish wasnt cooked and it tasted like the oil was old

Best rest in Toronto

December 21, 2023

He works as a server, and Im not sure what his name is. He has a purple head covering on. When we say thank you after we leave, he doesnt even smile or say hello. He also doesnt respond to us. Consequently, he provides the worst customer service ever. The barbeque we ordered isnt even hot.We drove for over two hours in order to try Filipino food, and this is what we experienced.

Greedy owners and policy. Group bigger than 4 they cannot accommodate you until they have a table exactly for what the party you have. I literally waited 3H for a table of 7 as parties smaller than 4 would just walk in... TERRIBLE!

A very homey Filipino place where you can listen and watch local Filipino bands and perfomers top famous Filipino as well as western hits while savouring Filipino classic cuisine and drinking your fave liquor or beer. You can also join in the fun jamming with the band or singing karaoke during performance breaks. Food is great, plentiful, prices are reasonable
