I love this place!! It 's a hidden gem in North York providing amazing Filipino cuisine and bbq!! ! If you haven’t heard of this place, you must go and try it! It’s worth the trip, although not too far from downtown Toronto I usually get the kamayan feast which translates to ‘eatwithyourhands’ and that I do! The 'mini feast ' is huge and although they say it feeds 1 2, it 's BIG. It comes with a whole tilapia, mussles, milkfish, prawns, squid bbqchicken and a selection of veggies including okra, eggplant and salad PLUS heaps of tasty rice! It’s all atop of banana leaves used as your utensil. It 's delicious! There’s just something so great about simple authentic food done right! I gave it a...
All I can taste was either too sweet or too much vinegar. Bopis was sweet and sour, Pork steak was salty and sour. It just doesn’t taste right. Pork barbeque not tender. And worst part is how one of their crew who was incharge at the dinning upstairs so rude. We came to at around 8:10 she already did inform us that they are only open until 8:45 so we have enough time to eat. And after 20 minutes she came again and tell us they will close at 8:45. We know the closing time, telling us again feels you are making asking us to hurry up. I don’t mind reminding us if it was past 8:45 but we still have 10 mins. Treat your customer well.
Kabalen is one of the Filipino restaurants you’ll find located at the corner of Bathurst and Wilson. There style of is from one of the provinces of the Philippines . Let’s start with the food, lots to choose from saucey pork steak to fried chicken Filipino style. They serve combos if you’re on a budget. The food is sitting on steamers, so depending what you order you might want an extra heating. Other wise the food is great. Seating is adequate for two or more. Parking in the plaza ks so good luck finding one or park on the side street. Definitely recommend and will come back.
It was my first time trying Filipino food, and we loved this place. The service was amazing. They were really nice and helpful to us. The prices are very affordable, a quick bite for two was approximately $10 in total! And with complimentary chicken stock for the cold weather, perfect for us.

One of the cashiers asked me what I ordered, so I said it, but the fat sister who was at the cashier responded to me like it was a hostile moment, for me it's okay to say that, but what you shout to tell me is not a good customer service.
The food was good, but it is pretty hard to welcome new friends who have never tried this culture as it is not your ordinary sit down, and menus.
There is too much rice here... it's more like 3 to 4 bowls rather than cups, but the food and service are fantastic.
This is a fantastic Filipino restaurant. We always get takeout from here and highly recommend it.
