43 Cashin Ave, St. John's, NL A1E 3A9, Canada
This family-style restaurant in St. John's is the city's favourite spot for Filipino food. If you've never tried Filipino food before, this friendly spot is the best place to dig in to spicy beef caldereta and chicken adobo!
The food is very delicious. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The atmosphere is great as well.
The food here is authentically made, and I highly recommend this restaurant. I'll definitely return for the charming ambiance, fast service, and delicious dishes.
Stopped in to try something new. Ordered the p8 and P9 from the menu the food delicious! Very friendly and very clean place Definitely worth it!
It was a fantastic experience again for 2nd time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it perfect for a casual meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring felt right at home. The food Lomi Overload was delicious, with authentic Filipino flavors that truly impressed. Each one was cooked to perfection. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I can't wait to return!
I tried the Lomi Overload, and the Spring Rolls. The service was great and the food was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was bright and modern.
The food was fresh and delicious!!! Attentive friendly staff, very welcoming clean establishment with tasteful decor and great lighting. The fried wonton nachos and chicken adobo 100% RECOMMENDED!
TL;DR: RJ Pinoy Yum is a great place to have a full meal or a quick bite, try out the filipino cuisine and have a great experience altogether, in terms of both taste and service. When we ordered our food, we grossly underestimated the portion sizes they offered! This makes it a great value for money and also a good place for a group visit! We tried the Wonton Nachos, Lomi Overload, Mango Graham Shake and Pansit Canton. The milkshake felt like a breath of fresh, tropical air with the snow outside. We felt everything that was offered was fresh and generous. Seasoning was a bit on the lower side, but that's reasonable since you could adjust much of it later and leaves room for preferences. The Wonton Nachos was such a simple but savoury dish! Overall, I wouldn't say everything was mouthwateringly delicious, but fulfilling enough to go back time and again! The people here took great care of informing you about components of a dish that you could possibly have an issue with, offering replacements if possible. They were also very amiable and pleasantly concerned about your comfort and experience. The place looks minimal but pretty, with bold colours and gorgeous photos of their dishes. There's a board at the entrance where you could leave a note - that's a singular feature which would stand out to you in terms of aesthetics.
This was my first foray into Filipino food and I had a great experience. The portions here are moderate and the food tastes great. The spicy foods aren't over spiced as a tolerance test, but instead rely on the blend of spices to achieve the desired result. The non-spicy dishes were similarly flavourful. There are choices for either end of the preferred palate spectrum. The service was speedy and polite. The atmosphere of the restaurant is well suited to table conversation. I was pleased to note the complete absence of any wall mounted TVs, or loud music competing with the table talk.
Foods is good and place awesome come back again next time I go to st john s
Got into an accident on the way to pick up my order. RJ Pinoy Yum kept our food for us. 10/10 worth getting into a car accident over
Great food!
Staff are slow and ignorant to customers also delivery drivers when they are there they are made to wait forever while staff stare at their phones and talk to each other
Excellent food. Their BBQ pork skewers and Lumpia is so good. Everything was good.
No Pad-Thai in this Thai restaurant and contrary to Google instructions. The waiters dont speak English well in general they dont understand much. The name PAD THAI, repeated several times and slowly, the waiters do not know (this is the height for a Thai restaurant). Ultimately this dish is not on the menu... The dish I had (noodles) was without any flavor at all, served without sauce, you get by with the sachets of ketchup and Heinz white vinegar which are in the way the table. The atmosphere is like the dishes: desolate. Only the cola served in a large glass full of ice was, more or less, up to par... thats why I gave it 2 stars and not just one... My advice: AVOID!
Food was absolutely delicious, we had chicken wonton nachos and orange chicken balls with Java rice, I definitely will be back for more.
Delicious food with basic dine in ambience with very cheerful and perfect service. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options.
So freaking happy. The wife and I just had a delivery. It was amazing. We had the fish tacos, wonton nachos with chicken, java chicken rice and sissling sisg. Yes we ordered alot because leftovers for a Monday lunch....amazing. Always delicious and definitely our go to for favorite take out or eat in.
The waitress was super kind and nice! The menu features pictures of the dishes, making it easy to choose.
Wonton nachos with chicken... Plenty of food for 2 people.
Decent asian cuisine to much mayo on dinakdakan, bbq is not as expected went their twice because sinaing is closed, halo halo is good tho
I have had food all over the world and this food hands down has been the best I ve had!! I hope I can enjoy their food for many years to come!!
Food is great at very reasonable prices. Wheelchair accessibility: 1 handicap spot at the door, 2 at the other side of the building. Food : 5/5 |
Great with gluten free! Great food and service. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
yummy and friendly and accommodating staff they even go out of their way to volunteer to take photos with us and our friends with the filipino nipa hat that they have and used it us our props for the photos with my friends.
Delicious Adobo meal but few meats.
Simply amazing food. Do yourself a favor and order.
Didn t enjoy the food the fish was not the best the chicken was very dry the fries are not homemade had a burger and it was the greasiest burger I ve ever had and my son ordered a spicy chicken burger and he said he couldn t taste anything different other than a plain old chicken burger. Not a fan of this place very big disappointment.
Food was great. Service was excellent. Great variety to choose from.
Portions for take out a little light. Great food.
Some of the best food in this entire town.
Great service and good! Highly recommend!
Literally everything I have had from RJ is amazing. The flavors are delicious, presentation is great, 100% recommend.
Servers are friendly. Food is good.
Good evening out. Apps and skewers were my favorites
Highly recommend the sisig, wonton nachos, and the beef adobo. Staff was friendly - would go again!
Excellent like always!!!
Truly a taste of Philippines! love the pansit guisado unfortunately we were not able to take a photo of it
The atmosphere was great, staff were amazing and friendly. The food was good but would need to visit more to give a good opinion on it.
The food is always fantastic, and you get personal service with a smile!
Food and service was really good. Must try when in St. Johns, NL.
Rj Pinoy s is a restaurant I recently discovered and easily a new personal favourite! The food is is very good and is always piping hot. The portions are also quite large. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the building is noticeably very clean. I would 100% recommend this place if you typically enjoy Asian food! Kid-friendliness: They only have two official child meal options but they offer non spicy options though out the adult menu and the adult portions are more than enough to share.
Delicious
Best meal I had during my weeklong visit in St. Johns. Fantastic restaurant
Ordered the beef nachos, absolutely amazing, delicious and picture perfect, thanks rj pinoy yum.
Greatest chicken nachos ever!! Very accommodating to special orders!!! Which they will probably remember!!! Tried couple of other items from menu And they were also delicious !!
Great food!
Prices are fair. Service and vibes are good. This was my first time having Filipino food. We didnt particularly enjoy the food but it might have just been what we ordered. Might come back again sometime. Definitely worth trying
Absolutely amazing In every aspect! Delicious food, amazing service and great people. Cant recommend this more! My fave by far is the orange chicken
Great food. I didnt like the red sauce for the wontons. It is way too sweet. Like candy syrup.
Fast friendly service with delicious fresh food at a reasonable price. The new location, just around the corner from the old one is lovely. Combo dinners pictured here are P7 in the foreground and P4 in the background. The Won Ton Nachos are a great appetizer. Food : 5/5
First time eating there...food was delicious. Will be going back Food
Been here about dozen times over past year. This was first time food wasnt that great, soggy and cold inside and not with as much flavor as all other times there.
So good!
Just try it. You wont regret it.
Tasty food and reasonable price.
We re coming back so I guess that says a lot, but it was a full restaurant and definitely a different or unique menu. We liked it.
Ive eaten here twice. Both times, food was amazing, along with the friendly service . Brightly colored interior, and quiet. Excellent pricing and good portion size. Ill be back!
My friend bought a porc filled bun. He said it was very delicious. I asked if they had any other choices of fillings such as chicken, turkey, beef or vegetarian. Unfortunately, they said no. Porc is the only option... Food : 4/5
Clean and modern looking restaurant with plenty of spacing between tables. The space was really cold (in February) but the service was friendly and fast and food arrived very quickly. Drinks were served in cans instead of glasses which I felt was inappropriate for the scale of the restaurant. I also ordered shrimp with vegetables but received chicken instead of shrimp and the vegetables indicated on the menu were not in my entree. The dish I received was very bland and 90% cabbage, flavorless sauce and about 5% chicken. I also tried the steamed pork belly bun. The bun was somewhat dry with very little pork. Not to mention that the dishes are very expensive for the portion of food you receive. I was so excited to try this restaurant but was very disappointed. I may try another dish (the curry) in the future; but probably not.
Absolutely the best food I have ever eaten
I had a confusing experience here. They were very friendly and accommodating and the restaurant is very nice. However, they have a gluten-free menu but when I told them I had celiac disease they said they didnt know what that means I cant have. Additionally, the gluten free menu had dishes with flour noodles on it. I really appreciate that they came back and confirmed that it is a severe allergy and asked if cleaning everything would be enough but I dont think they understand what celiac and gluten free is. Other than the obvious foods like wheat flour, things like soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and many other things contain gluten unfortunately. For me its more than a preference. I get severe abdominal pain, diarhea, dizziness, feaver, exhaustion, and sometimes vomiting among other things. Tests have confirmed that my digestive tract undergoes an immune response when gluten is present, damaging the lining. This can lead to cancers, diabetes, etc. It is not treatable other than to have absolutely 0 gluten. Please do a quick Google search and learn more about it. This is essentially false advertising as the gluten-free menu isnt gluten free. I would love to return in the future if this is dealt with. Thank you
Great customer service and great food!!!Love the sisig and kare kare
Good for dine-in and take-out. No complaints.
Excellent food!
Always wonderful.
So delicious! Huge variety of menu items and service is always super friendly. Combos are great and their steam buns are phenomenal
Great food fresh .Fast service had Take out ordered and out in 5 min. Lot of food for the price. Food : 5/5
Great man
Always good; yet to have a bad meal here.
Been there several times now, and never disappointed with the quality of the food, or service.
Love the food, the restaurant, the staff! Parking: Many spots for parking, spacious lot and wheelchair parking right in front of doors. Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible
Once you taste food here, you may want to live here. Great service and food.
The food and service are consistently good, every time we visit
Wow. The food was fantastic and so reasonably priced. 10/10 I will be back and Ill bring friends
Ill never not recommend their food. Its so freaking delicious and their portions are great too. Only thing I can say is as a warning for 1st time diners. Some foods dont come with a side dish like rice. So keep that in mind when ordering and your portions. Tbh, most times I dont bother because its all so amazing I dont want to fill up on rice. I just want more of that delicious RJs
Very nice place
Stuffs are super friendly. Usually not a long wait. Fresh and good ingredient food. Semi authentic I would say as a philipino restaurant. Go there quite often as food is super delish anyway. Parking: Huge parking lot . located in a plaza Kid-friendliness: Really popular for birthday parties
Great food & Service Love this place A+ UPDATE: Menu has changed but still amazing
My favorite spot for delicious food. The sizzling sisig is the best!
Im shocked this place isnt much more popular! The service was so amazing, our service was super kind plus very attentive! The food was beyond delicious, and portions were impressive! I had gotten the wanton nachos and the fried crispy tilapia. They were accommodating to my diet requirements and very caring about it. I will 100% be returning! Vegetarian options: Anything can be accommodated! They are extremely kind about it too!
Nachos were very good and are made on wontons which was nice. They are quite messy due to the sauces. The Wonton Soup was good, nothing special. The Orange Chicken was very good. Lots of chicken and the batter to chicken ratio was great.
best bang for your buck in the whole city. the pork shoulder taco is only 9$! insane. I got p2 and also the won ton nachos for 29$ just so much food Food : 5/5
Best wonton nachos Friendly staff Well be back Food : 5/5
Food is always full of flavour. Dinanakan is my favourite.
Tasty, unique, authentic...great service. A gem in the city.
Delicious as always. Only disappointment was they had no steam buns. They are the absolute best so i can see how they would run out. Cant recommend this restaurant enough!
Really tasty food and reasonable prices too.
The food was very tasty and the service was prompt. Our wonton chicken nachos didnt seem as hot as i am accustomed to. The chicken sigis pountine was very hot with loads of flavor. To top it off we had steamed pork buns that were delicious. I left a tip for service but really should have requested hot nachos.
Been going here since they opened. Fantastic food and honestly the best meal for the value in the city. The combos are all fantastic with a range of spice for tastes. The new location allows for larger groups but it can be slightly loud if you are looking to have a quiet meal. Delivery is available but is provided through a third party. It is worth it to order in person and pick up your meal. Over all a fantastic place punching way above its weight in quality, price, and service.
I cant believe people arent beating a path to this place ! The service and atmosphere is so pleasant and friendly and the food is absolutely amazing ! The pork belly on a soft bun is out of this world ! Lots of parking too. Thank you RJ Pinoy Yum for a five star experience !
I walked in and was immediately met by a smiling waitress. Took my order, advised it would be about 15 mins and told me to take a seat anywhere. It wasn t very busy as it was around 3:45pm and I had my food in less than 15 mins. Got home and it was nice and hot and so delicious. I had an order of Chicken Wonton Nachos with Pinoy Sauce and an order of Crispy Chicken Tacos on BAO Buns. Will definitely be returning to try other dishes. Parking: Very large parking lot.
Food and service were personal and really good!! Thanks for the authentic experience! Food
One of my top places to eat in St. Johns. The flavours are unique and distinct. Everybody Ive brought here has added this place to their favorites! The dishes I frequently order are: - Fried Siomai - Beef or Chicken Yum Rice - Dinakdakan - Sizzling SiSig - Beef Salpicao Large portions and decently priced. You wont be disappointed!
Really good for the price! Try pineapple juice!
Quick service, great food
Service was fantastic but the food was disappointing. Maybe we didn t order what would be known dishes. The Chicken Java Rice, Beef Steak Tagalog was really good. The pork ribs were all fat, the quarter chicken was not fresh and cold. Noodles were meh, the wanton nachos were tasty but mostly wanton with maybe four pieces of chicken. Happy I tried but did t match word on the street. Probably wouldn t return
Its really good value for your money huge portions.
Food was great. Very busy
Ordered the chicken adobo. Did not taste or look authentic. My pinoy friend was with us and agreed.
This restaurant is a must if youre in this area! You have to try the food here!! The prices are really fair, its not too expensive. The portion sizes are great too, lots of food! Its definitely a great deal. My girlfriend and I both had large plates of food. We were stuffed and the bill only came to $25 before tip! The food is also just mouthwatering! Its so delicious, anything you can try here will be good! Ive never been disappointed! Definitely come here if you can!
Very friendly staff and amazing food that has so much flavour with perfectly cooked dishes. My family and I love this restaurant and will be back often... Oh ! and super comfortable seating . Peace. Food : 5/5
Love this place. The server was so nice and welcoming, ask for their recommendation, they wont steer you wrong. The food is top notch. Pork belly is spot on, the sizzling Sisig is great, and the best spring rolls on the island. Clean and bright space. A new favourite and must stop for us when we are in St. Johns.
Tried the new affordabowls and they were cheap and delicious, would highly recommend. My only complaint is our take out order was about 15 minutes late which is abnormal for this place.
Great food
Everybody try the nachos!!! Such a large menu and wide variety. The staff is very kind :)
Omg best ever! Lomi Overload is a MUST try! The mango shake is so smooth and tasty. Anything tried so far is beyond words, oh dont forget to get the fried wontongs!
Parking: Hard to see lines in the nighttime because they are not brightly painted, and there are little to no streetlights. Food
If you like asian foods, like noodle and pork. I would like to recommend Lomi Overload Not sure the name they call so very satisfied love it!!
Always excellent food and great service!
Food was delicious and the staff were very friendly!
Fresh & Delicious. Friendly staff and very clean dining area.
Delicious but please please please bring back the steam bun tacos!
I have been coming to Rj Pinoy Yum for years. Everything on the menu is super tasty, quick and affordable. I have never had a bad experience here..like all good restaurants this place has become a local hotspot and is one of those restaurants that I recommend to everyone.
A nice atmosphere greeted by very friendly workers with amazing food for great prices!
Loved their food specially the fish items.
Tonight was my first time. I cant believe I havent been here before. The food was so delicious and the staff super friendly! I cant wait to go back to try other dishes.
Went in afraid of not liking it (since Ive never tried Filipino food), but I loved it!. Very good service, they delivered the food pretty fast! Awesome place!
I have tried their chicken wanton nachos and it tastes great. I must say I never expected this kind of nachos from any restaurant in St Johns.
Delicious fresh food!
Delicious pinoy food served fast! The staff is friendly and the flavours and presentation are excellent. It was so good I forgot to snap a picture of it before I ate!
One of the best restaurants in the city, hands down. The fish tacos are like nothing Ive had anywhere else. Prices are excellent as well. Been eating here for years. Their new building is very nice and spacious.
Absolutely my favorite restaurant of all time. Try the spring rolls!
Yummy food, nice people, was there 3times and I am pretty sure I will come back again.
Beautiful decor and amazing food!
great taste and very reasonable price
Wouldn t answer the phone. Called for 15 minutes strait on a Friday at 7pm and they wouldn t even pick up the phone.
Absolutely love this place! Food is delicious and fresh and great customer service
A favourite for takeout in the city. Steam bun tacos or to die for. Every other dish Ive tried has also been delicious. Quick service and not expensive at all! Staff is very friendly and the place is clean!
Go try the nachos! Its a different take on the classic chip! The chicken skewers were melt in your mouth! And the coconut tilapia soup is very hearty.
Although the price is increased, it is still reasonable and quality is great
The food here is amazing . Great serving size lots of flavour
I just moved to this town and it was my first order! The mango milkshake is terrific. I love it sooo much! Will definitely visit again very soon! Thanks for the fantastic meal
The service was fast and the ambience was nice with some awesome music playing. All the workers had a nice attitude and the food was reasonably priced and delicious! Im definitely going back there soon.
Amazing food!!
Love the Adobo, sauce is outta this World. Edit - Had to change rating from 5 to 4. Food is good but nowadays portion have lessened since they changed location & the price for those portion seems a bit higher in comparison to other Asian restaurants, especially when ordering by Skip. Otherwise a great food joint.
Love this place. The new spot is so much bigger, brighter, and fresher than the old one at Ropewalk, but the food is just as good as it always was, and still great value. Great to see a little place like this making a go of it with its different cuisine in St. Johns. Definitely the best place for Filipino food in the city! Is it currently my favourite place to meet friends for a meal? Heck yes! Ample wheelchair accessible parking, vegetarian options, great prices and fabulous food making this an easy choice for everyone.
As bubbles would say, Decent!
Genuinely some of the best food Ive had. I cant recommend this place enough.
So good! Everything was delicious and served quick. We will be back soon!
Good food, friendly staff. Nice place!
Quick service. Amazing food! Youll definitely be back
One of my favorite restaurants in St. John s. Good quality food at reasonable prices and absolutely wonderfuk staff.
Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian options. Parking: Lots of parking, some very close to the door, plus dedicated wheelchair parking. Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to be welcome. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has a very open design with great flow for wheelchair or other mobility aids. There are wheelchair push buttons to open the main door and to open the bathroom doors.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE AND PRICES! Would recommend in a heartbeat 100%!!! Loved everything so far... 12 dishes tried so far Vegetarian options: YESSS! Finally some vegetarian food! Very tasty Parking: Lots of parking! Kid-friendliness: Yes, kid friendly. Ive noticed kids of all ages eating and enjoying. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible
Good food and reasonable prices.
Shared various dishes with friends instead of getting separate meals and it was all amazing. Cant wait to go back!
Authentic NOYPI cuisine! OK!
Worst eat in meal Ive had in a while everything had bbq sauce on it including nachos and the soft tacos. Would not recommend
I absolutely loved the food. I hope everyone can try this. Its not spicy, but its so flavourful. The java rice was the best part, but everything was great.
Food was good and the location and setting were perfect! Service was excellent!
Was expecting better; for starters finding long black hair in two different dishes from takeout didnt exactly help my review. Two dishes contained way too many dry potato chunks, the chop suey was tasteless, but the won ton nachos were very good hence two stars. And it was over $100 for a dinner for 4....
Tasty food, great service, excellent prices.
Fantastic food at great prices. I get the Pansit Canton dish and some Siomai but you really cant go wrong with anything you choose. Edit: Crispy Chicken tacos and also the Wanton Nachos are also amazing.
Always great food and quick service! Love going there!
The first thing I tried was this bun stuffed with pork, and had honey garlic sauce on the side. Then pork belly tacos on a steamed bun, an absolute must have. Ending the meal with some skewers and noodles. 5 stars indeed
This place has amazing food at a great price
Great food, super friendly server. Highly recommended.
Food was really good. Dinakdakan was awesome with vege rice. Nachos was pretty good too. Food was served in under 15 to 20 minutes. Staff was really friendly and helping. Place was casual but has limited space. We had to reserve by calling two hours earlier for 10 to 12 people. I will definitely go there again and try some new dishes.
Ive gone here on multiple occasions and every time the food is fantastic and the presentation of the food is great.
recently opened in new location, two days ago :) excellent and tasty food, had pork siopao, chop suey with shrimp and rice .... 5
Always amazing ! My favourite restaurant here in St. John s. You could pick anything on the menu and be blown away
Amazing food, super friendly staff! Everything on the menu is carefully crafted and delicious - there s so many great options. RJ offers meals for the cautious and the adventurous so don t hesitate if this place is on your list!
Absolutely terrible. We ordered a meal for 3, everything was wrong. Instead of offering a refund, they offered to replace one item, then said it would be a 45 minute wait. The won ton soup had one won ton in it and tasted like a packet of onion mix and water. Of course everything was spoiled by the time I got home again and tried to eat it. Very expensive, terrible service, poor food.
The service was friendly and fairly prompt. Food was okay, nothing spectacular. It was our first time having Filipino dishes and hoped for more flavour but it was fine. I believe they may tone it down for the local taste.
Nice and affordable
