Not your ordinary palabok, because it doesn't have the usual toppings, not even a slice egg... halohalo has sour saba and leche flan is just about less than an inch, not really recommended. Server looks like she doesn't want to serve people. Laing, bitter.

AKD next door was closed so I decided to give this place a shot. Boy, did I regret it. Ordered 2 combos that came with 4 dishes and rice. The only thing that tasted good was braised beef. Peanut chicken was blend and overcooked. BBQ chicken skewer tasted alright but was served to me cold. Pork flavor was nasty and half the pieces are all fat. Perhaps Filipino food is just not my cup of tea. For the same price I would rather get bourbon in a food court.
Still chewing on this piece of super overcooked tasteless peanut chicken (the dish with greens garnish) as I type this review. Pain.

The food was pretty good overall and not expensive. I used to work in the area, but always overlooked the restaurant because I wasn't familiar with Filipino food, but I decided to give them a go after seeing they had Filipino spaghetti and I was quite impressed with the taste. It's definitely a lot more distinct than Jollibee, which just felt like western spaghetti. I'll likely come back for more.
Cafeteria style ordering wherein you can see all the dishes from you. Very authentic Filipino food with lots of Filipinos customers dropping by and working behind the counter. Price was a bit high for the small portion of food we got. We ordered the adobo, crispy pata, laing and extra rice. The crispy pata came with the lean meat and the fatty part. Total came out to be around $30 but portions were relatively small.
This place is a classic Filipino restaurant serving authentic and traditional Filipino dishes with many choices. The foods are outstanding at a reasonable price. One of my favorites is their signature dish “Crispy Pata” which I always order for takeout. Very crispy and cooked to perfection which is completely paired with their signature vinegar dipping sauce. They also serve various desserts such as halo-halo (sweet shaved ice dessert with various toppings), Turon ( sweet banana-jackfruit spring roll), Buko Pandan (coconut and pandan flavored gelatin with cream and sweetened milk), and a lot more. Plato Filipino is a great way to satisfy my food cravings.
The place also features décor and ambiance, reflecting Filipino culture with Filipino music playing in the background. Plus, they have a very friendly, welcoming, and pretty staff. This is a must-try restaurant that tastes like Home. If you miss Pinoy foods or want to try authentic Filipino cuisine, this place is for you.

While I understand the additional cost due to Uber fees regardless you guys put "regular" size on your description and the size given was definitely not regular size. Perhaps think about updating the size on your description to clearly indicate it is a small size because even at 6.99$ for that size is not acceptable. It is not a good impression on first time customers.
Had the size been clearly indicated I would not have ordered.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Got an ordered delivered but please do not waste your money here.
Regular size items are $9 each you expect a regular sized portion instead they send you kids sized items. It's unacceptable and frankly a scam. See pictures for size reference.
I paid $40 in total for kids sized food.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Me and my family went here twice already. My husband loves the food here. He rarely craves for filipino food and this place satisfied his cravings. It’s so nice that you can get dinuguan, bopis, sisig and crispy pata for a smaller amount and can upsize for a bigger one. Place is nice and clean. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Very affordable (they have a combo 2 dishes and free rice) and very tasty authentic pinoy dishes! Don't forget to try their Pork sisig and Dinuguan! Napakasarap! The best Beef Caldereta and Palabok I've ever had here in Canada.
