Kamalig YYC — Restaurant in Calgary

If you are craving some amazing comfort food, this is a great place to fill that void. Came here based on a suggestion from a friend and glad we did. It's hard to find good Filipino food in South Calgary.

The establishment is small, but bright and tastefully decorated. The menu selection isn't huge but there's enough on there to satisfy, a great selection of pork, chicken, fish, noodle and beef dishes. We had the Sisig, chicken adobo, and the Binagoongan, along with garlic rice. Everything was wonderfully flavourful, and presented well. I think the only dish that could have been better was the Sisig, as it isn't served on a heated platter as typical of other establishments, and that made the dish congeal a little quicker, and it also didn't have a cracked egg on top. The adobo was excellent, the flavour was well balanced, and the vinegar flavour was not overpowering. The best dish was the Binagoongan, it was the first time I've tried this dish and it was very nice, a perfect pairing with garlic rice.

Hopefully the menu will grow a bit more as there were not many vegetable dishes, and some of the other offerings like Turon were not on the menu, but available to order.

Portion sizes were good, with dishes enough to do family style dining and pricing is fair, offering good value for this quality of food.

Service was very friendly, parking is plentiful and the facilities are well kept. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. Do yourself a favour and give this place a chance, you...

One of the most underrated Filipino restaurant in the south. Definitely a must try. Their "Crispy Sisig" is amazing. I always order it to go. If you eat in, I would suggest the "Sizzling Sisig" version as that comes in a hot plate with egg.

I live in Visayas region of the Philippines so I have never heard of "Chami" before, but boy oh boy was I missing out.

It's a classic for people from Lucena City. Basically it's Pancit that is tossed with meats and vegetable and topped with a savory sweet sauce. Just amazing.

The portions are pretty big for what you pay for so you will always be full. Top these ulam with rice and you are solid.

It is family owned so you know you will get the best service. Just ask for anything you need and they are very accommodating.

All in all, I would rate this 5/5 for the food...
