Came here for lunch with a friend on super cold Saturday afternoon. We were craving something rich and greasy and Rice Bowl never disappoints!If you ever come here, you must order the Sigsig. It is the best I’ve ever had anywhere. This is a super rich dish! The onions, fat, lime and chili along with the spices that go into this dish gives it a super complex palate with a multitude of flavours. Make sure to order this dish with rice! Other popular Filipino dishes that Rice Bowl does very well is the Calderetta and the Kare Kare. Both comes with meat that is very tender and literally melts in your mouth. They have low and slow cooking down to a science and take their time braising the meat. Service was excellent. The lone waiter was attentive and came back to check on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is rather dated. Decor is spartan and could really use an update. Also, ventilation is somewhat lacking, don’t wear your favorite blouse or hoody coming to this place cause it’ll end up smelling like this place for the next week.
Just tried for the first time. Great food, great service, large portions. Will definely be returning soon to try some other dishes. Tonight we had the beef in coconut cream, fish and eggplant in ginger sauce and chicken satay. All delicious.
After reading a few of the reviews, it seems most of the negative comments were in regards to poor service or expensive dishes. The service, I thought was fine. The server’s were always apologetic to patrons whenever they weren’t able to fulfill their request. In fact, I felt bad for the lone waiter having to deal with a very rude and condescending patron regarding her take out order. I know the service wasn’t the quickest due to the likelihood of being understaff, but that’s not a reason to berate anybody. The menu is very competitively priced compared to other restaurants in it’s price bracket. One reviewer mentions that 3 dishes for $40 is an absurd price. That’s saying that 13.33 per dish is way too much. I guess it’s not buffet prices cheap. As most people know, Filipino cuisine tends to be very soulful. So loosen your belts, or bring your eating pants. This restaurant definitely reaffirms my belief that Filipino food is on an upswing in mainstream cuisine.
I really love their sweet short ribs! It’s a shame I didn’t know about the deal they had a few years ago. $10 for a whole plate of ribs on Tuesday? What an amazing deal! And this place is 10 min walk from my house too!
So good that I drive all the way from Pembina just to have their Pork Sisig. My favourite. Ate there a couple of times now. Staff are really nice and friendly. Food is always good. Their kare kare and crispy dinuguan are so good.
we always eat here at this restaurant every occations/events. food here are delicious and reasonably priced. crispy pata and lechon kawali are a must try. always enjoyed every stay here. i suggest moving to a bigger place, having more table to seat big events.
My husband and I came here on a whim one evening after seeing reviews and they did not lie! This tiny 30 person max restaurant is exceptional.We ordered the coconut beef and the chicken satay and both portions were sizable with excellent flavour. The beef fell apart at the slightest touch and I’ve honestly never had such flavourful meat. The coconut sauce was sublime. It was rich and creamy but the lemongrass gave it a high note leaving it light instead of overwhelming. The chicken satay I was skeptical of thinking it would be too hot for my husband but it wasn’t and he really enjoyed it. The onions in the satay were caramelized perfectly.We came very hungry and we ate until were were stuffed and still came out with a to go box. The portions going to other tables were huge. The deluxe chow mein was massive.The restaurant isn’t exceptionally clean looking but I didn’t feel uncomfortable either. The service was pleasant and quick and the food came out quickly too. We also went around 7 pm on a Friday and were seated right away but since the place is so small, take out wouldn’t be amiss if you want to make sure to hedge your bets.Overall, we paid $30 for a generously portioned meal, excellent taste, great value and leftovers.I highly recommend this place and will absolutely be back!
