Friendly staff and a good spread of breakfast buffet for the price of $22.99 + tax. Cola, Coffee and hot chocolate drinks are also included in the buffet. You can walk in but for a big group, you may call them for a reservation.

If you’re looking for a different brunch place, check this out! This place was pretty packed for a Sunday morning. We had their brunch buffet and they did a pretty good job with the selection - tocino, tapa, hotdogs, longganiza, spam, eggs, garlic rice, etc... I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have the champorado though, however, they had warm pandesal. The buffet setup isn’t anything fancy and could use a bit of aesthetics. My uncle had his birthday here and he opted for the buffet upgrade which gave us a plate of bagnet, pork bbq, and unlimited lechon. So much meat!! And pork!! Soooo Pinoy and we loved it! There was even a karaoke stage 😉 After all the eating, we still ordered halo-halo and that was delightful 💛 The place itself was a bit too warm (needs circulation) so the cold dessert was a welcome treat. As for the service, they did an excellent job! As always, the Filipinos’ hospitality is consistently top notch. Always welcoming.

Excellent and Friendly Service at this location. Buffet on Weekends for $19.99 unlimited food. Lunch specials from $12.99 to 14.99. Food tastes sooooo 👍

Got order thru food to go - says large surprise $7.99 for $24.99 worth of food. It was a Sad surprise. The owner took the food from trays and placed in a take out containers when we got there assured us its not left over - this was their way of promoting the restaurant. It was our first time and a terrible first impression! Glad did not pay full price as food was terrible! I was given a pork foot with hardly any meat, very salty and dry lechon. Who would give you a Pork Foot to promote your restaurant? Threw away the mongo and paksiw as it doesn’t look appetizing and the paksiw was full of oil! If this was regular price, not worth it, very little for the price. Overpriced! Taste was bad.

I ordered the chicken skewer as well as the pork skewer. Both were so good! It was very tender and juicy. The halo-halo was also great! The staff were super friendly.

Love this place! We’ve been here twice now and I am for sure coming back. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the dishes are really delicious. I love the sauces that come with everything, and overall I always have a lovely time here. I am obsessed with the sisig and lumpia and will definitely order them every time (while also trying more things, of course)!

The food here is terrible. It was all cold. I wonder if their heating trays are even on.. The lechon was too fatty, tasted like smelly pork and, the worst part, the skin was chewy instead of crispy. The lumpia was fine except for the cold part. Same with the skewers. Lastly, service is very slow. Clarification in response to owner’s response: I did get my food through too good to go, but it was not prepackaged. It was taken from the heating trays and placed in the box. I stand by my original review.

The buffet, unlimited breakfast items ($22.99) was not worth it . Bill came up to $77 for 3 people food worth about $25-30 max if you cook it at home.. very disappointing. Limited choices, about 10, 3 options for dessert which was pretty much empty, and the quality of the food was subpar. I would not recommend and would be hesitant to go back

Last Sunday our group had lunch at their Scarborough location, some of us ordered a silog and build-your-own silog meal, and one of our orders was missing eggs and one of our order we found a strand of something, at first we thought it was a strand of a hair, but when I show it to the lady who was serving us she said that it was a strand of the brush bristle that there used for cleaning or washing the pots, although she said sorry to us with what happens, As a person who also worked in the food and hospitality industry for a long time, I know that there are some cleaning agents and materials that are not advisable to use coz they may cause harm to a person if they swallow or digest the foreign object.

I recently ordered surprise bag from toogoodtogo, the original price was $24 and discounted to $9. When I received the order, I was shocked to find that the quality of the food was nowhere near worth $24, or even $9 for that matter! Bad surprise:( !!!! And the food are smelly. It s my first to visit this restaurant and the last time.

Went in to this spot for the halo halo after seeing an ad in their window. Inside we discovered they do a buffet on Sundays, and we will be back in a few great to try it out as it looked great 10/10 drink and service as well, washroom was great also

Like an earlier review says, this place continues to post on the Too Good to Go app under the idea that they are giving away a large amount of leftover food with a value of $21+ but when you arrive they give you what you paid for (in our case about $7.99 worth of food (2 small sides + 1 skewer)) from the hot top (so not leftover). Basically theyre a scam and using an app meant to food reduce waste like its Uber (without the ability to pick your meal!). Having them removed from the app would be the best course of action, as they arent using it properly, but we wont be going back even for proper meals in the future.

I ordered online for pick up and when I get there, the store is closed. I called the north york location and apparently the owner is out running errands and told me to come back 2hrs from now. I try to be patient cause I want to support my fellow filipino business. When I came back to the store 2hrs later, they are still closed when they should have just told me to cancel my online order and grab my refund in the first place rather than waste my damn time.

I recently went to the all you can eat breakfast with my husband and baby. The server was very helpful - it is stressful stepping out with a baby, and the help was appreciated. We got the unlimited lechon option. Everything was great.

Wow We come from Muskoka and visited the Scarborough branch and coincidentally enough, Tito Wilson was there. He took such good care of me and my boyfriend while we ordered our food. Amazing staff, amazing service, amazing food. Thank you, Tito Wilson and staff! We will be returning again and soon!

Food was delicious. Been to another breakfast buffet, and Wilsons house kicked them out of the ball park. My review is biased because I dont like noise too much, or small talk. Let a girl eat in peace. But if youre outgoing and enjoy that, then youd love it here. Will probably try to go back at a more peaceful time.

I am just visiting Canada and will be flying back to Los Angeles CA tomorrow. I was craving for lechon and have found this store online so I rushed to their shop. They were just closing and putting things inside the vehicle. I approached the lady, which I think, is the owner and asked if I can still buy some lechon. Instead of saying they re closed already, she accommodated my request. I was so pleased and the lechon tasted very delicious! Thank you so much! You made my craving well satisfied.

Went for lunch and to our surprise there was a buffet (an All-Day Breakfast - cebuano/filipino foods ) spread for $19.99/pax. With 14 varieties of food (excluding plain rice & garlic rice) with soup, dessert & 3 fresh fruits plus hot & cold drinks - it didnt disappoint. Not to mention the service was superb (JB was super friendly, accommodating & engaging) & the other staff. The relaxed & cozy ambience with the melodic spiritual music gives a heart warming experience. Definitely recommendable.

This rating relates to lechon (roasted pork) only as this was the only item purchased for Christmas. The restaurant name is reputable and I thought this location would be similar to how I remembered the original Wilson location to be. The meat itself was shredded not chopped up-different. Where did the flavour go? It was quite bland. The crispy skin is always the best part, all filipinos look forward to, but nope, the skin was chewy, not crispy at all. It is so hard to find a good place nowadays. Even the old school restaurants are subpar unfortunately.

January 21, 2024

Ordered and paid in advance but we ended up with a bunch of left over parts. Not tasty, not worth your money. Extremely disappointing.

When the food is fresh, its great, especially the lechon. Very clean tasting pork and not greasy whatsoever. There are times, however, the food isnt newly made and it pales in comparison. Best is to get there earlier in the day and ask when the food was made. Very friendly staff/owners. Parking: Can be a challenge to park during busy hours and the lot is very oddly shaped but theres an underused garage underneath the building with more parking.

Great food and very friendly staff with lovely smile on her at all time. Family run business. If you haven t been here before, you must give it a try. I used to visit their location at Bathurst & Wilson and this is the first time I am at this location. We are not Filipino, came here with my parents-in-law and they are not used to Filipino food, so we have lots of questions about the menu. Staff is super friendly and patience in explaining to us about the menu items. Four of us ordered two combo and a chorizo as we still have other meals planned later that day, some other restaurants might not be happy about it, but they are totally fine with it and even asked and listened to our comments. Felt like we went to a restaurant opened by a friend but in fact it s a stranger that we just met. Wonderful people with passion for good food and serving the community.

Amazing and friendly staff. The new scarborough location is bigger and even more inviting.

Sisig is also a fave now, and kinilaw

From the phone order reservation to the pick up, the staff at Wilsons HoL were super friendly and warm - it gives the place a feeling of familiarity even tho it was my first time there. Store is clean and well kept. Food looked fresh. They had my Belly-chon ready and it did not disappoint! Although skin was not as smootj as traditional Lechon from The Phil, it was nonetheless still crunchy as you cut through it and ofcourse as you bite into it. Meat was tender, fatty, and moist and filled with lemon grass, herbs/spices. The Lechon sinangag and Bam-i noodles with nits of Lechon on top was also good. Will definitely go back! Highly recommended.

I was supposed to order from this restaurant but I overheard the lady customer who was talking to the server because the chicken that they ordered was undercooked. The server was very proud to say LET ME MICROWAVE IT FOR YOU. So if youre looking for a restaurant that serves microwaved food. This is the place for you Chicken should never be undercooked, everyone knows that and for the server to say that she will microwave the food for it to be cooked??? What???? Omg. Youll get sick in this place, better eat at home. You microwave your own food at home and you know how it was cooked. Better than this place. This place is for barbecued food and if its undercooked they are happy to warm it up for you in the microwave. SO DISAPPOINTING, especially since Ive been to the main location at Wilson. I was expecting the same quality of food. Lucky to overhear their conversation.

This was our first time visiting this place, and it will probably our last. Tried the fried belly for $17 to go, pretty expensive for 1 strip of belly, ok. So I expect it to be super crispy, right? We got home and it wasnt anything near crispy! Like how long have you cooked this? How long has this been sitting there? Pork BBQ was ok. Now I dont feel bad not giving a tip.

Looking forward to enjoy their amazing craft of Lechon without the treck out west. The seating is well spaced out along with a clean and brightly lit dining area. The order counter looks to accommodate a larger selection of yummy foods to enjoy
