Kuya Joe's Kitchen

If you like sisig "DONT" buy it here. This one is full of oil and ginger. Texture is very mushy.The meat is not even tasty. You got lemon instead of calamansi. More expensive than the bella's lechon which is way way better when it comes to taste and texture. I have eaten so much sisig in my life from philipines but this is the first time i lost my appetite to it. Total waste of money. Miki has not much of vegetable on it. Im not a noodle man but the wife dont like it. This one dont even deserve a star. I order this in uber.

Ordered for the first time and wasn’t expecting much but man the food was tasty and service was good. I really liked the Royal bibingka! I Have yet to try their other meals!

Prices ‘seemed’ kinda pricey as the mini-tray was typical chinese-takeout sized but they filled it to the brim, and the kare kare meat was soooooo soft and tender that it’s totally worth it for $20 especially as Max’s nearby is $23.99. Generous portion of shrimp paste too.

Yes, the prices aren’t “cheap” but you get what you pay for. All the dishes are made to order fresh & full of flavour. Definitely the best Filipino take out in Toronto, I’ve ordered several times for my very picky Filipino dad and he’s been happy with everytime. Highly recommend the crispy pata, kare kare & pancit.

Not your typical Filipino restaurant where you point at a particular ulam food on the display window where they are on warmers. And you don’t know if those are repeats from the previous day. At Kuya Joe’s, your order is always FRESHLY COOKED! I am particularly impressed by their Crispy Chicken, it lives up to its name until the next day not refrigerated though - it’s still freakin’ crunchy! You cook fried chicken?! Well, I bet you don’t cook Kare-kare, Sisig, or Dinakdakan each time you’re craving for them coz they entail so much work. Leave the cooking to Kuya Joe! Ever think of a to go dish that you can munch on while driving home? Try their Deep Fried Calamari, and if you dare to live on the wild side - get the tentacles! Speaking of wild side, try their Kilawen nga Kalding kambing/goat. And for those die hard Pinoy foodie like me, they have all day breakfast and the Beef Pares with Rice for Filipinos rice is life is a must try. Ask for their Ensaymada Special or Bibingka like the famous one in Vigan, I swear! If you are a sinukaan fruits picked in vinegar lover, befriend Kuya Joe’s better half. She might let you try her atchara papaya or singkamas, or both.

Not sure why the staff is pretending as “Kuya joe” on the phone when ordering. Had a nice chat with Kuya Joe not sure if he is then we agreed on in a certain price, then when pick up time , price is $5 more! They said their chef is not aware of the new prices.. still had to pay the higher price. I’m confused.?? Who is the real “ Kuya Joe?”

If you love filipino food... especially affordable authentic filipino food, Kuya Joe's is a must try. They offer filipino favourites like kare kare, crispy pata, bbq, and many more. Their food is always fresh, spot on, and the customer service is superb. Personally, I highly recommend the palabok, crispy squid, and calamari rings!

Price is fair for what you get and the foods delicious! I ordered sisig, Ensaymada and bbq. order again

Best food, not so greasy the quantity is excellent and the quality is too awesome… love this place everyone should visit here.. the employees are really nice , humble and welcoming … do visit…

Pancit and Igado was good Bopis needed vinegar Garlic fried rice would have been healthier if they used parboiled Chilli oil very spicy Dinuguan was salty had to add vinegar Not wheelchair accessible
