Manyaman Foods Filipino Cuisine - Scarborough — Restaurant in Toronto

I rarely leave reviews, but when both the food and staff are great, I make the effort. This is only my second review — the first was for D’Amo, a dessert place everyone should try.

I discovered this Filipino restaurant by accident after visiting Tagpuan. Highly recommended! I didn’t even notice there was another Filipino restaurant in the area (Kennedy Scarborough)!

The dishes here remind me of authentic, home-cooked meals, the kind a mother would prepare with care. So far, I’ve had their sisig, kare-kare, beef steak, binagoongan, and lumpiang prito, and every dish has been consistently flavorful.

The kare-kare, in particular, is exceptional!!!!— rich and perfectly balanced ("hindi tinipid"), you could really taste the peanut butter. I’d also recommend their maja blanca and chicharon, which were both delightful surprises.

One thing that really adds to the experience is the super friendly staff. She is truly an asset to the restaurant. She’s excellent at encouraging customers to try other dishes - not only does she increase sales, but the dishes she recommends really are great. When she says it’s good, believe her — she knows what she’s talking about! She’s definitely a keeper, and it’s clear she cares not only about the business but also about ensuring customers leave satisfied and get to taste their best food.

Pricing is fair, especially considering the quality. The packaging for their chicharon is thoughtful too, ensuring it stays fresh.

While the service can be a bit slow at times, the food is definitely worth the wait.

This place has quickly become my go-to for Filipino cuisine (I come almost everyday), and I’m excited to explore more of their menu like what other people is saying.

My only hope is that they maintain this level of quality and taste and not becoming too commercialized...

A new Filipino gem. It’s hard to find a Filipino restaurant that’s actually decent, in which the dining atmosphere is clean and comfortable (nice tables and chairs with ample spacing), the food is not made with cheap or lack of ingredients, and with decent pricing for the serving. This place was a random find after my mom and I were looking for other halo-halo spots after missing the closing time at Seafood City (they stop making it at 6:30pm when they close at 9pm??). Anyway, it was a blessing, since Manyaman’s halo-halo tasted better (just an fyi- we opted out the ube halaya which is apparently their specialty, but we are one of those rare Filipinos that hate ube lol). We decided to order beef tapa silog and chicken bbq silog as well, and it was all so flavourful! The garlic rice was sooo good, seasoned very well. The chicken skewers tasted better than the ones at Seafood City although smaller in size, and the beef tapa was tender and meaty although a bit small as well. But honestly, for $13ish per dish, it was really good and we ended up being super full. Overall, would recommend checking this place out, and my mom and I look forward to coming back and trying...

I’m thrilled that Manyaman opened up a second location that’s close to me, because I can’t get enough of their food! They offer a wide variety of authentic Filipino food which is absolutely delicious and flavourful! They offer some grocery items as well, including some of their made in-house sauces and snacks. Their chicharon often sells out because it’s so good! Now that it’s summer, I love cooling down with their halo-halo which is one of the best and reasonably-priced in the city (though admittedly, I would eat it any time of the year lol). The staff is also very welcoming and friendly. It’s obvious that there is a lot of love put into this family-owned business. I always have a good experience here and I highly recommend...
