Kapit Bahay — Restaurant in Toronto

We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday here. This establishment has a hot table and dining area, Filipino groceries, baked goods, and money remittance. What they also have behind another door on the right is a fully licensed bar and party room for up to 50 guests. There's an all you can eat weekend breakfast buffet.

If you are looking to celebrate a birthday, graduation, milestone, or just a family get together. This restaurant provides a clean and spacious venue. The party room is wited up with disco lights, a sound system, and most importantly, karaoke. We had a set menu buffet style for $30 per person. This includes soft drinks, coffee, dessert, the party room for 4 hours.

The food included with the package were the following:

Steamed rice Pancit bihon Kare Kare peanut stew Beef caldereta 5 Breaded fish fillets Crispy fried chicken Chop suey vegetables

If you want to bring your own bottled alcohol there is a corking fee of $25 per bottle. Bring your own beer you will need to pay $1.50 bottle fee. In other words, they encourage you to order through their bar. The beer is priced well. $4.99 for domestic and $5.99 for imports.

The food was pretty good and was refilled by the staff. The fried chicken, beef caldereta, fish fillets, and pancit bihon were my favourites.

The service was friendly, and they did a great job preparing the venue and food. Kudos to the hard-working staff. If you are looking for a smaller party venue to celebrate a special day, then you should definitely give them a call and make a...

Kapit Bahay has been running its business more like Kaput Bahay in recent months. Food quality has deteriorated recently. I usually patronize locally owned neighbourhood restaurants but may not return to KB after my last visit. The small serving size and diminishing food quality disappoint even the most loyal customers. It could be because of economics (understandably), but it has severely impacted their service quality. There is no doubt that restaurant owners have embraced this upgrade option "at an extra fee" and will soon charge an additional fee for patis (Filipino fish sauce) and bagoong (shrimp paste). The restaurant owners should be aware of the growing number of customers choosing other restaurants over theirs. As a patron, I understand the economics of running a restaurant. I want local businesses to survive and thrive in these tough economic times. However, I challenge intelligent business owners to maintain quality and service. Instead, get creative and offer daily specials, drink specials, add a dessert or Filipino-style drinks to meals and charge a meal combo. At least then, we can still enjoy dining at your restaurant and pay for the upgrade without sacrificing...

I was brought here by someone who said she had it decent here a while back.

I don’t mean to bash pero have the decency to cook Pilipino food the way they were meant to be. I grew up up in carinderia, talipapa, street foods and had neighbors selling food in the streets. My grandma as well as my father were also great cooks and love to entertain people with good food to boot.

Let’s start with pinakbet. Translucent na ang mga vegetables kahit ampalaya wala nang ounce of crispiness and walang lasa.

Bopis, nakita niyo kung gaano ka soupy at it doesn’t taste like bopis at all. No trace of bopis in it and what did they put in it.

Sisig? Which region is this from? Kahit man lang sana balut Wala man sisiw puro bato.

If you are going to show the Pilipino food in other countries, have the decency to fast and look before you start to put it out to serve.

This is worse than the Pilipino restaurants along Wilson near Bathurst they claim to be from a region where their food was. A region in the Philippines where home-cooked food are...
