Juvian's Restaurant — Restaurant in Winnipeg

So I heard about Juvian online and saw there Roast pork (lechon) which is sa delicacy in the philippines, was so thrilled to try them on my own. So long story short I went there for some lechon and eventually got something different.. the pork was not roasted it was a lenchong kawali (pan fried pork)which I asked the lady at the counter the lady their wasn’t sure what kind of dish I was having she was like “yes, it’s lechon, lechon kawali”. The menu says roasted pork which is totally different to lechon kawali. The other food that we tried was good it’s just the “roast pork” is dissapointing and misleading. Also I tried talking to this guys which I think is one of the owner of the restaurant, so there I was waiting for this guy to finish helping one of the customer eventually it was my turn to come up to this guy which went straight to the kitchen and then I tried to get his attention and straight up ignored me and went straight to a friends table. LIKE REALLY DUDE? I am pretty sure you saw me there waiting..What a terrible experience I expected more from this place. Denifitely not coming back to this place. This is my first time doing a review of some sort but for this place i’ll be doing...

Went to Juvian’s this morning to find something for breakfast while waiting for my vehicle to have the remote starter installed. Juvian’s is a Filipino restaurant located right across Manitoba Hydro so it’s really easy to find. Since I came right when they just opened their doors, I was the only customer dining in so the atmosphere is nice and quiet. I ordered Lumpiang Sariwa (not exactly a breakfast item but it’s one of my favourite Filipino dishes) served on a warm plate with water on the side. Food presentation was classic. The vegetables are not soggy and was cooked perfectly. Just the perfect amount of serving for one person (since I’m the only one dining) There were door dashers coming in picking up orders as well which is nice to see. The staff were kind and friendly. I took my time eating my food because of my braces, so I stayed here for about 45 mins to an hour or so. I can’t really speak more of how peaceful and nice my dining experience here is. Free parking is available and there are washrooms for customers to use. I can’t wait try more on their menu when I come back. I absolutely recommend for people to...

I think Juvians is on par with Myrna’s (the most popular place in the city for Filipino breakfast) for best Filipino breakfast. My family has been going here since I was a kid and they were located at the Balmoral hotel. Portion sizes are generous— they give sooo much meat and rice! I am always satisfied with my order here.

I think their tocino isn’t as good as Myrna’s but I do like their beef tapa. Tocino isn’t as caramelised or sweet here. Beef tapa is sweet tasting too, like beef jerky. Some places make it too garlicky or sour. This is just right. I find their garlic rice more garlic tasting than Myrna’s as well.

We almost always get our food to go and the portion size for Filipino breakfast is generous. I cannot say if it is as generous in person dining, as we don’t find it convenient to eat-in at their current location. Aside from Filipino breakfast they have good lomi overload and kare kare!

Lastly, if you ever order Doordash or other food delivery, their price is higher by a few dollars. It is cheaper to buy takeout directly by calling...
