Tinuno

Filipino restaurant
4.3(2409 reviews)
Closed
Today's hours: 11 AM - 9 PM

Tinuno is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.

TINUNO means “to cook by direct / extreme heat; under a grill or over a hot fire.” THE STORY Cathy Ortega & Gerald Aquintey didn't know what to expect after finally opening up a Filipino small grocery & takeout joint together. The shop was doing great but they wanted to do more. They wanted to give Toronto a much more authentic Filipino taste and experience without the price of a flight to the Philippines. Kamayan / Boodle Fight (the formality of eating with your hands) was the obvious solution.

Trying Tinuno Bathurst this time around! As expected, the Kamayan feast did not disappoint! Today on a winter day, we decided to eat Filipino food after around 2 months! We had sinigang, sisig, and the Kamayan feast good for 5 people. The photos will speak louder than this review. BUSOG!!!

I love the Bathurst location it has parking space to park your car, more spacious inside the restaurant to dine-in compare to their Sherbourne location very tight space. The food is good and plenty. The only thing I don't like when I ate there a week ago is that their grilled telapia seems old. Also, the place is very cold the food gets cold easily as well, and because of that the food is not as tasty afterwards. The kamayan food for 2 ($25/person) can actually be shared by 3-4 persons. The service is great, they serve the food fast like in 15mins.

Came here with my dad and we tried the kamayan for 2. Food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend it, especially for family style dining.

We were a big group (~15 persons) and had the kamayan to share as well as ordered some additional dishes (e.g., spring rolls, deep fried pork belly, sisig). The staff are very welcoming and attentive. They were checking in with our group quite a bit and were very receptive to requests, and even letting us stay past closing because we had a few birthdays we were celebrating in the group. The food was fine. In my opinion, this is more for the experience of sharing the meal family style and eating with your hands on the banana leaves. Many of the items were quite overcooked and dry in my opinion, and the milkfish was way too salty. Some of the vegetables were also burnt and were mostly black. It’s good anyway for the experience like I said, and a good amount of food to fill you up for not a bad price.

This was a very nice family friendly restaurant and environment. The food was very good, and flavourful. The endless garlic rice was amazing. Service was quick and very friendly. There is a large selection from the menu and lots of shareable options.

I went to the Little Manila location and they did not disappoint. They were able to accommodate a group of 3 last minute on a Friday night for kamayan. The room was filled so the noise level was quite high. The kamayan is cheap and the portions are huge. They set up the banana leaf on the table and added all the food. Beware of the unlimited garlic rice!! It was absolutely delicious so you will keep asking for more. Their halo-halo was the best way to finish off such a filling meal.

Came to Tinuno on Sunday around 5:30pm. We got our table right the way but they started to get busy. I suggest you make a reservation of you want to come. This is a Filipino restaurant and I was told by a Filipino friend that they are authentic. Service is very good here. Everyone we talk to are friendly. We ordered the Kamayan (Boodle fight) which they put the meal on the table (table is cover by banana leaf) It is $25 per person and rice is free refill. The key for Kamayan meal is to eat with your hands... They have disposable gloves for you so your are not using bare hands. But I did see some people are eating with their bare hands. The meal is a combination of meat and seafood. The garlic rice is pretty good in my opinion. The drinks Calamansi is really refreshing. The pork spring rolls is good as well. Parking lot is small but no problem for us when we get there. Is a very lovely local restaurant that I will return if I am in the area.

Great place to go with a group, reservations are recommended. We had the kamayan with the milk fish, tilapia, squid, etc. Everything was seasoned well with great flavors. However, some of the items were a bit too burnt, such as the okra and the milk fish, which was dry, even though it was very delicious. The garlic rice could also have more garlic in it. But, overall this was a great experience and a good value for the amount of food.
