iSLAS FILIPINO BBQ & BAR

First time here. Food was great and stayed true to classic taste that are familiar to Filipinos, but are refined to cater to a wide audience. Josie was a great hostess. She answered my questions and was friendly. I took one star off because there were cockroaches on the wood display beside our table. We asked to move and they were courteous to do so. I hope they do something with the infestation. Other than that, good first time experience. Thank you!

Had a lovely dinner here. Dined solo on a Friday night at 1700hrs, there was a lot of available seating. Got a little full towards 1800hrs. Great menu. I ordered a couple apps but if I was more hungry I'd love to try their prix fixe option! I love calamansi and they have a few drinks with it. The calamantini was great! Regular lumpia and lechon wings were delicious! Don't worry, they weren't very spicy. Fries were so crispy! Beautiful decor. Friendly and cosy atmosphere. Easy to find. Street parking (paid and unpaid) available. Easily seats 1-4 and parties of 6+ look like they could be accommodated too if they combined tables.

Came here for our anniversary and was extremely satisfied! The food was amazing, the portions and taste were great. Customer service was also amazing. Definitely recommending this spot!

Best overall Filipino restaurant in Toronto. We had Sisig, Calamari, Crispy Bagnet Kare-kare and double sago’t gulaman. The ambience reminds me of resto-bars in the Philippines but better service! Thanks Mariel

I didn't know of this Filipino restaurant until this year, but I'm glad I did. This place took me back to the Philippines. My family and I decided to do the Boodle Feast since it was a special occasion and it was a good choice since it was a good assortment of food as well as it being a good portion of everything, definitely does eat 3-4 people easily. I totally recommend this place to anyone that wants to try Filipino food. Only complaint I have of this place is that it took a good five minutes for us to be seated, despite the fact we had a reservation and the place was half-empty.

Love the presentation and taste of the food, came for summerlicious lunch. The portion of plate are very generous, my favourite part is crispy pork belly, garlic rice and coconut toast on top of vanilla ice cream. TBH I was looking forward for ube ice cream from the dessert halo halo, I was disappointed that they don’t have it in the house. Besides that everything is pretty good. Friendly service, the lunch is 30 CA after tax, I’m happy to give 35$ in total. My belly is satisfied, I’ll come back when they have Ube dessert in the menu. Thanks!

Very yummy lunch. We absolutely LOVED the bulalao soup (very hearty, I would go back just for this), and the lumpia + Filipino peanut slaw were second favourites. Everything else was yummy too (though didn’t stand out too much).

Winterlicious 2024 Discovered this place while looking for a place to eat after going to the stationary show in Parkdale Hall. It was sunny at the time we went and we were seated by the window where we were grateful for the sun shining through. Originally, I had a reservation for 1PM but we arrived very early (12:15pm) and the place was still starting to fill up for lunch. We got seated very quickly and the seats were very cozy. The food was very good and the proportions were very good for the cost of the set ($27/lunch). The salad was very crunchy and refreshing while the main course had a sizable portion of friend rice that accompanied eggs and your choice of protein (I got fish while my companion got the other two types of meat). The dessert (Mango Float) could have been thawed a bit longer before serving in my opinion as it felt and tasted still frozen. There was only one server at the time for ~25 people so I did feel like service was slow. I could tell the server and the chefs were doing the best they could because they were constantly on their feet and the meals were coming out together. Overall, if I ever have the chance to come by the area and was not in a rush I would dine here again and arrive early to take time into consideration.
