Whenever me and my friends will crave for a filipino foods, this is one of our go to place. Their food is good and the staffs are nice. The only thing that I would suggest maybe put more tables to cater all the people who wanted to dine in and the serving is too small for its price comparing to others.

Walked in with a friend and had dinner. 5 stars out of 5. I really recommend the goat adobo. Would definitely go again.

Got the flaming red hot wings 2 lbs. Pretty good, i have higher than average tolerence to spices so it was about as spicy as i usually eat at home.

The food was extremely tasty to me. It was a five star restaurant surfing and it’s a must have. It’s me you must try.

I was referred here for fresh lumpia , it’s not fresh they have the food sitting at room temperature. I left my house for soggy lumpia. First and last time at Jesse jr!

Will not return. Very oily and not flavourful. Was told this location is better than Brimley and Shepard but that is not my experience. Arrived 7pm Friday. Very little selection (1 goat + 3 pork options, no noodles or plantains). Not very helpful - was told everything is good but to come in the morning. Should have left empty handed.

Nice and friendly place.. I came close to closing time so many of their food was already packaged in to go tubs. I wish they had more food options without red meat in it.. but was happy to get the tortang talong with rice :) and it was delicious. A combo with rice and drink is about $10. Will visit again :)

Food is good and appetizing. In-person customer service is friendly but so far every calls Ive attempted---even at times where they might not be busy remains unanswered. Customer service online or via call is subpar compared to their in-person service. Food

The goat curry is so good. Meat was cooked to perfection and well flavoured. A bit pricey for the size of the container and a bit too much oil.

Price of food items like large meat take-out is more expensive compared to other Filipino restaurant. The kare-kare that I got today was not impressive because the sauce was watery and not that flavorful. The ginatan na bilo-bilo needs more gata (coconut milk). I used to come to Jessie Jr. as a regular but now I dont think I will ever come back.

Amazing food. Best time to come is in the morning hours unless you are ordering ahead of time for pickup. Bring cash.

January 22, 2024

I think the price for the combo is stupid because all you get is 3 piece s of meat and the rest is rice like they are trying to save food to bring home after work lmaooo

I dont have much experience with Phillipino food, I ordered some kind of chicken in sauce which was delicious, take out container was filled way over the top. The 2 ladies were patient explaining the menu to me, very sweet.

My first time here yesterday and I was surprised at the selection of food. I ordered Pinakbet, sisig, bopis and bili-bilo and they all tastes amazing! Sisig is a little too fat but it is what it is. Will come back for sure and recommend!

We came here around a Saturday close to 11:00Am. We took the Combo platter and they had quite a selections of things to choose from. Their food was delicious and great. The hot sauce was super spicy and their portions are quite generous here The place is really small though so seating is limited and the people here are close tightly packed. This restaurant is a great one and I recommend to give a try and their tapsilogs are decent and good here as well.

I went there yesterday (April 30, 2021) and bought a small palabok (thankfully small lang binili ko). It was so bitter. I gave to my daughter to eat and she doesnt want to eat it at all. Considering she likes noodles. When I tasted it, it was so bitter. I dont know what they put in their palabok that it was so bitter. This used to be my fav go to take out place. But I guess that will be the last time I will be going here. They should really taste the food first before they serve it to their customers.

My favourite is their chicken adobo. Their desert is good. Id probably avoid those mini sausages as theyre very oily.

Excellent Filipino food, friendly staff. Been there mostly for Breakfast when the food is hot off the kitchen. Cant beat a combo of 2 with Garlic Fried Rice, Laing and Beef Kaldareta. Or just a simple Tapsilog. For the best experience be there around 9 AM for a scrumptious and yummy Filipino breakfast.

December 22, 2018

Regarding (Sheppard and Brimley location). If you are Canadian Filipino, be prepared to be provoked with anger by the front line staff - particularly the female who works there she is short and in her 30 s maybe. (I will find out her name in a moment). Anyhow, I have the worst experience every time I m served by her. She will force me to name the dish in Tagalog - only to correct me. She rolls her eyes and is very SUPLADA she loves it when you struggle to order, the epitome of bad customer service, rude and disrespectful. Typical filipina clueless phob who needs her work permit revoked!

My mom ordered a polabok party tray from this location worth about $45 for a birthday party. We picked up the polabok, and after 2 hours the polabok started to smell (sour smell) : it became spoiled in 2 hours! Not fresh at all #panis! We had to throw it away and our guests didnt even get to try it. I dont recommend this place at all.

I like their food. Good food at a reasonable price. Their combo is great. Best Filipino food in Scarborough in my opinion. The BBQ ribs is a bit sweet though according to my Hungarian friend, but, I like the adobo and other dishes. I go here whenever I want good Phillipino food.

The selection was very limited. No vegetables or healthy options even though the menu board had drawings of vegetables. The meat in the sinigang was also very fatty.

The food here was good; however, there was limited selection. Also, the chicken afritada did not have much meat on the bone. Good Filipino food here though with nice staff.
