This was my first time doing kamayan style at a Filipino restaurant and the experience was truly a special one! This night will be one to remember for year to come,. My friend introduced this place to me and I didn’t know what to expect, but they did not disappoint. Great food and great service. I can’t wait to return and perhaps visit the other location!

Amazing experience and lovely staff they were very welcoming and showed the Filipino culture amazingly! We got the food set and we were pleasantly surprised with the service and meal quality!

Came close to closing time on Halloween night. They were doing live karaoke and having a great time. Could request song, and the two singers gave an amazing performance of my favourite song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls! Very friendly and family feeling vibes at Casa Manila. Pictured here are chicken adobo, tamarind stew, chicken spring rolls, the mojito, the ube pina colada and the pandan jelly dessert.

Simply put, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to try Filipino cuisine for the first time (and I have my kind date to thank), even more so given my dietary preferences. For someone with a spicy taste palette, this was certainly something way different, and I learned a thing or two about Filipino cuisine (and I can see how their infectious joie de vivre spills on to their food—blessed folks, I’d say). I would be remiss to not give a shoutout to the awesome Jade—thank you for ensuring my date and I had a fabulous lunch (the birthday touch was indeed very thoughtful). You are an asset to the team. I’m quite looking forward to my next visit and I already know what to try then.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted with smiles and a joyous and welcoming hostess. She provided my 7 yr old with crayons and a sheet to colour of things that represented the Philippines. The food was delicious and there are many options. For you who know, Filipinos love their karaoke and how fun that they also provide this, no matter what time of the day. It's a nice change of food in the midst of the Danforth. Will be coming back with the rest of my family who love food and karaoke.

The best filipino food I’ve ever had! Received complimentary chicken skin and vegan mango ice cream. Ordered the pork sinigang lunch special with salad, super fresh with a lovely calamansi sauce. Sinigang had lots of meat and vegetables, tasted very authentic and tangy while not being too oily or salty! Milkfish was fried well and the belly was delicious. It lacked a bit of flavour but the other dishes made up for it! Beef kare kare with oxtail was one of my favourites, especially when adding the shrimp paste. Pancit palabok was another favourite. Amazing depth of flavour and very unique from other asian noodles with the pork and shrimp sauce, chicharron, eggs, shrimp, and annatto seeds.

Came with a big group and our tables were nicely decorated. They had mini coconut cups and leaves on the table. Food was delicious and can’t help but want more. The flavours mixed really well together and I got the garlic rice. I was nervous the garlic would be too much but it wasn’t. The desserts were also soo good. I got the warm cassava cake and it was heated and melted in my mouth. Please get the cassava if you ever come here. The service was good since we can in a big group. Our server was the best she had jokes and was supper friendly. I would come back here especially since they are good with groups too.

It was our first time trying Filipino food and we were very pleasantly surprised! The style and décor of the whole store are very characteristic, and the details are wonderfully done. Dining here is as if you are close to the sea, with a slight sea breeze blowing, time stands still, and you can enjoy the multi-layered taste of Filipino cuisine. We will definitely come back!

We ordered 3 dishes- pork sisig was great (get chicken sisig if you don t want your dish too greasy), beef kare kare was a bit chewy, pancit bihon had a bit too much soy sauce in it and was on the salty side. 2/3 were below expectations so it was a bit of a letdown. They made it up with the great service and cozy homelike atmosphere though. Order the hot calamansi drink - perfect for winter!

December 21, 2024

We ordered 5 or 6 items and all of them were horrendous. The noodles were sour as if they were drenched in lemon or vinegar, the chicken sisig was basically chicken skin deep fried which just tasted like oily fried batter with no flavour. The beef tasted overpowering with peanut butter flavour. Service was wonderful but food was not tasty at all unfortunately.

A few months ago, while driving Uber, I picked up a Filipino couple on Danforth. They had clearly just finished dinner and I asked what restaurant. They said Casa Manila - the best Filipino food in the city! Well, last night, I finally gave the place a try and thoroughly enjoyed my meal and time there!! Five stars all around!

Most of the items were so bland it lacked taste buds. Usually Filipino food is very tasty but this unfortunately was not it. I came in to celebrate my birthday but was very disappointed

December 8, 2024

So disappointed! Ive waited for 1hr for take out. i ordered chicken sisig , pork bicol express and crispy pork binagoongan . Portion of the food is pricey. meat is tough and tasteless. This is my first and last to order in this restaurant.

My family came to Casa Manila for the first time back in early September. We enjoyed eating milk fish, crispy pork: was a little too dry, pansit, the halo-halo was a nice dessert and a jug of calamansi drink. We were served by our friendly waitresses. The interior design of the restaurant was beautifully presented. I recommend this Filipino restaurant. Parking: Download a parking app and pay using the location on the sign.

My 2 friends and I made a reservation for the Kamayan Experience (which you pay a $50 deposit for ahead of time). When we got to the restaurant at our reservation time and let them know my name, they realized they did not have our table ready. I don t think they knew about the reservation at all. We waited to be seated for 25 minutes. We were served veggie sinigang and chicken chicharon which were both tasty. The Kamayan came out 30 minutes later. It was good, but not something I would go out of my way for. What really soiled our night was the service. We asked for our bill and noticed there was no deduction of the $50 deposit from our total. The waitress came back and confirmed she had deducted the $50 (which was good!), she had also accidentally processed our payment as cash and that because of this we had to pay in cash. We didn t have $115 in cash. So the waitress suggested we either go to the atm down the street or pay them through e-transfer. We were baffled. Another waitress came over and took our looks of dismay as another opportunity to explain what went wrong, impatiently saying this is very straightforward. She also mentioned that $115 would be deducted from waitress A if we didn t pay cash because of her huge mistake . We just kept asking if we could pay with a credit card. And eventually they did let us. But the entire interaction was very odd, unprofessional, and uncomfortable. So, while we did enjoy the meal itself, it was not enough to win us over after being seated 25 minutes late, and seemingly guilt tripped over not being able to pay with cash.

I have been to the York Mills location for a numbers of years now, and learnt about the new location during pandemic, and was excited and had ordered food there multiple times. The food has always been delicious and service has never been bad, UNTIL last night. At 6:27pm, I called them to order multiple dishes of food (almost $200 worth of food). The restaurant then called me back and asked how long would take me to get there. I told them in 10 minutes, as I was already on my way from Dundas & Parliament area. I get there, and wait for about 15 minutes, then I asked the lady (I believe she might be the owner or manager) how much longer, she said another 10 minutes, so I decided to step out, and came back in 20 minutes. By the time I came back, one server was busy with tables, and the lady was busy around the kitchen area, I asked again, she said another 10 minutes. While I was waiting at the front sitting down, there was a customer, who has been waiting to be seated for about 10 minutes. She asked me, if she should go up to the back and asked for a table. By that I have been waiting for over an hour already. I told her that I have been waiting for my food for over an hour, and I think they might be swamped with tables and take out and that I am slowly losing my patience as well . The lady customer then took off. I then went up to the kitchen area at the back and told her that If I knew it would take this long, and if it was communicated to me when I placed the order over the phone, I would have gone to run some errands instead of waiting. After almost an hour and a half wait, my food arrived. Unfortunately, this experience has totally left a bad taste in my mouth and I told them this would be my last time coming back. They have lost a loyal customer.

Always wanted to try this place as it was close to home. And we have never had Filipino food. I wanted to enjoy this place but was sadly disappointed. The service was slow as the staff was entertaining and interacting with another table; ignoring other tables. Wanted to try the Filipino pork skewers (street food) but they didnt have any. The restaurant is supposedly known for these skewers. Positive - the food came out quickly.

★★★★★

I really Love the atmosphere it feels home! Food is good we got Bulalo as it is described from the menu it taste like the one that you can get from Tagaytay. I hoped we could get the pork sisig however it is not available. It seems it is known because i heard the other table is ordering it too but it was not available. Nonetheless my visit is really worthwhile.

It was a full house on a Monday night, half the restaurant was reserved, including one group that had pre-ordered quite the spread! Maria was super friendly and helpful though she was alone for serving (she explained an employee hadnt come in but she made sure we enjoyed our experience, we hope she wasnt too exhausted by the end!). The food was simply delicious, the descriptions are informative (easy to spot gluten-free or veggie/vegan options) and accurate, and the choices are beautiful and tasty. Strongly recommend!

Came for dinner on Friday. Showed up at 5pn - two other tables were present, restaurant was empty otherwise. Waited seven minutes to be seated. After being seated, server came around with menus - Summerlicious menu was placed front and center, but had lunch printed at the top which ended at 4pm. Asked server if they offered a dinner Summerlicious menu and was told they didnt. Makes it confusing why the Summerlicious menu was even brought in that case. Ordered the chicken adobo with a side of garlic rice. Also got a glass of calamansi iced tea. The iced tea was mostly ice and pitifully small for $5. Chicken adobo was either made with overcooked chicken breast, or extremely overcooked thigh meat. Either way, the meat was dry, tough and stringy - some pieces almost had a leathery texture. The sauce was sharp but flavourful. The garlic rice just tasted like white rice with some toasted garlic on top. Fine when combined with the sauce from the chicken, but overall boring, particularly for the price. I asked to hold onto the dessert menu after ordering. In the middle of my meal, the server came around and took my menu - I asked her to leave it and she either didnt hear me or ignored me. On her way back to the kitchen, I asked again for the dessert menu back and again she either didnt hear me or ignored me. I finished my meal - after waiting another six or seven minutes for her to come collect the dishes, I asked again for a dessert menu and received one. Ordered the ultimate halo halo for dessert. The ice cream served on top was already in the process of melting as soon as I received the dessert - at the time, the shaved ice portion was overly frozen and needed to be chipped apart with a spoon. Otherwise, the dessert was fine. Overall, not impressed with the food or service. The atmosphere of the restaurant was charming enough.

Dined here last Friday for the first time and it was great! We usually visit the Casa Manila on York Mills but being we were in the area, we hit up the Danforth location. Quite a bit of outdoor patio seating but we chose indoors this time! Service was amazing as our server brought out complimentary soup as well as atchara along with our meal! They also had karaoke going at lunch time if youre into that. We ordered a combination set which includes adobo chicken, garlic fried rice, coconut vegetables, crispy lechon kawali and a fried milkfish on the side. Food was great all across the board and we were more than stuffed amongst 3 people. Would recommend for your Filipino fix on the Danforth!

I adore this new location! Theres seating both outside and inside and either option is comfortable and pleasant. The food is yummy (and they have so many vegan options!) and the ambience (they had some fantastic oldish songs playing, but not at a deafening volume. So conversation was still easy) is lovely. Make sure to ask for recommendations and mention the flavour profiles you like, and they will happily share what they know. Our server Jade was a gem (no pun intended). She had suggestions and even obliged me with a small side of the papaya salad when I mentioned I was considering ordering a dish just because came with that as an accompaniment. And to add to that, when she came to know that we were celebrating my birthday, she gave us a complimentary dessert (scrumptious!) with a candle and sparkler! At the same time, they played Happy Birthday in the restaurant, and sang along too. It absolutely added to the days sparkle. Would happily come here again. For those curious, I ordered the mung bean stew (quite hearty) with a side of steamed brown rice. The complimentary papaya salad was perfectly sweet and tangy too. The dessert they gave us was, I think, the vegan mango icecream. The icecream itself was execellent and it had jelly cubes (made of agar agar, I think) at the bottom. Those were delightful too! And also reminded me of the jelly I loved a as a kid. Perfectly set and not too sweet. The person dining with me ordered a pancit dish, quite mild, which they enjoyed. They also really liked the virgin mojito. And at the beginning of it all they also gave us complimentary soup. Light and with the right amount of garlic and spring onion flavour. And as always, the portions were very generous! Dietary restrictions: Multiple plant-based options available for every course!

My mom and I were so excited to eat bbq and sinigang at Casa Manila, but Surprisingly the food was not as good as we expected. The bbq came cold was not fresh and the sinigang meat was tasting off.

Great little find on the Danforth! My partner wanted a tasty cocktail, so after some research, we chose Casa Manila. The Coconut Dream cocktail was amazing, so creamy and refreshing. Perfect for a warm day. The little patio offers 3 two seaters with inside seating as well. Tried the pork spring rolls for a snack and they were super tasty and crispy. We will definitely be back to try more things!

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal here. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. Great vegan options as well in case thats your thing! Vegetarian options: While they are not a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, they have a dedicated vegan menu, and they label menu items as vegetarian/vegan friendly (if applicable)

Just finished eating here. I order sizzling pork sisig. The sisig taste really good serve still sizzling in the plate. Crispy and tasty. It comes also with soup. The soup taste excellent. The service is fast, the servers are helpful. Highly Recommended.

i wanted to love this place, but i didnt. the food was extremely disappointing, looked nothing like the pictures and was definitely not worth the price they were charging. i was expecting a lot more based on the good reviews i was seeing, but it was very lacklustre. sadly the only thing that was good on the menu was the garlic rice. the bistek tagalog was not good, it was dry, bland and just not good, dont order that. the pancit was ok, bland and nothing special really. the chicken skewers were ok, kind og cold and not really grilled well. extremely disappointing especially since we spent over 100 dollars on this meal and didnt leave feeling happy with our meal that we spent a lot of money on and had high expectations for. i also dont like the fact that they were very transparent about the pricing of things. mostly i think the thing we ordered were wayyyyy overpriced for their value. not good at all considering i can make these dishes at home and they would probably taste better and i would be able to save some money. overall, do not recommend if your looking for a good filipino food.

This is my first time trying the Danforth location of Casa Manila and I was already enamored by the place. Its smaller than the North York location, but the environment and decor is charming and inviting. The staff was absolutely lovely and friendly, I couldnt help but smile every time I interacted with them! There is slight differences in the food in both locations so they have their own taste but I still enjoyed every bite I had. I would definitely come back for the food and experience here

Best filipino food I ve had outside of the Philippines! I got a calamansi iced tea and chicken tocilog. The tocilog arrived sizzling on a cast iron with eggs, rice, atchara and vinegar. It was the perfect balance of savory, sweet and sour! The patio is perfect for a summer day and iced tea. Maria and the staff are very friendly and make you feel at home.

For Authentic Filipino Cuisine come to Casa Manila at 508 Danforth. We ordered pork belly, kare-kare, mixed vegetable - pinakbet, fried boneless milk fish and garlic rice. The garlic rice just goes really well with any Filipino food, Fried pork belly was seasoned just right, crispy but juicy and tender. There are other vegetable options but we chose the pinakbet. The vegetables were cooked just right not overcooked and flavored with native Filipino bagoong (shrimp paste). The fried boneless milkfish was my favorite especially the belly part. Kare kare is cooked in peanut sauce. Delicious with fried pork porkbelly. The sauce was really good. You can taste the authentic peanut flavor. They have a great selection of cocktails and mocktails. We ordered pinacolada, margarita and the Filipino version of root beer called Sarsi.

I really don t understand why the reviews are so high. This food is over priced and greasy. We paid $10 for garlic rice? A greasy bowl of rice with garlic. Some fried rice s in Toronto are cheaper than that. Their crispy pork looked and tasted dayssss old. Their chicken sisig fries was all fries, no chicken at all. Maybe a dusting of chicken. The fries were so greasy and soggy, not crispy at all. This cannot be the best Filipino food by any means. We waited 20 minutes after being seated before we were served water. The restaurant was completely empty too. What is with the outrageous prices, day-old greasy food, and slow service.

I went on date here with my vegan girlfriend and had a wonderful experience! They had a whole section of the menu devoted to only vegetarian/vegan dishes and throughout the menu there were options to make other dishes vegan. My girlfriend ordered the tofu adobo and I got the chicken adobo. Both entrees came with a delicious soup. The server gave us the option to have the spice on the side and we received a small bowl of hot peppers that we added to the dish. They added a lot of heat! For dessert, we got the Pandan ice cream and it was the best dessert my girlfriend had ever had! It was so light and sweet and came with jellies at the bottom. We will definitely be coming back again or getting takeout! Dietary restrictions: Fantastic vegan options from appetizers to entrees to desserts!
