  Love this charming little restaurant in Donlands. Although it's not been renovated for years, there's something cute about this place. It offers the classic American Canadian breakfast, but also does fabulous rendition of Filipino lunch and breakfast choices. They further add a classic taste of homemade vinegar to the side of their dishes like Tapsilog and Dasilog.  Patrons are usually from around the neighbourhood. This is a Debit card or Cash only place. So make sure you have either or.

  My friends and I were visiting Toronto for a couple days and we stayed at an airbnb nearby, so we hopped over the few blocks to this local diner.
  
  The interior feels like a drugstore from the 70s in the US, very retro and quaint. It was packed with what I presume were a lot of locals as it was a Saturday morning, and I enjoyed the townie feel of the place.
  
  I don't think I've ever had filipino food before, but it was really good for a breakfast - I really love the garlic rice and their Filipino meat was a nice start to the day. I can't guarantee the authenticity of anything, but it was a good meal!

  Such a charming little spot, which does seem a bit run down, but! I guess that's what gives this place its appeal in some way. It seems more retro and very old-school if anything, with its 1970's milkshake machines and its dated radio which seemed to still work surprisingly, and jukebox machines that they had at each table - for display only!
  
  The Filipina server I assumed was one of the owners, and she was very friendly and helpful with portion suggestions, and told us that most items are good enough for 1 person. We had the lumpia, and the kare kare with steamed rice on the side. For dessert, a leche flan. Overall, everything was pretty decent! The bok choy was definitely fresh and the peanut butter sauce was reminiscent to that of Max's in Vaughan I will say bc it's more on the peanut buttery side.
  
  I enjoyed our dine in experience here and would recommend it to people who just want something simple and modest.

  This quaint little retro diner is run by a nice filipino couple.  They serve pretty much diner food plus some comfort foods from the Philippines.  I wasn't here for their kare kare, adobo or tapsilog beef.  I have my go to filipino place on Lawrence East when I'm feeling that.  No, I wanted straight old fashion Eggs Benedict. Seeing some of the pictures on yelp just made my mouth water.
  
  When my Eggs Benedict with peameal bacon arrived, it looked just like some of the pictures I had seen earlier.  I quickly cut into the poached egg but was surprised at how watery the yolk was.  I've never seen that happen.  Usually it's a gooey runny yolk that slowly oozes out when cutting into it.  Well I'm sure it will taste fine either way so when I took that first bite of the egg, peameal, english muffin & hollandaise, there was not much taste to it at all.  I added some salt & pepper which kind of made it okayish.  I've definitely had better.  It's too bad because I really like supporting small family run businesses.  Maybe I'll come back & try some of their filipino dishes instead but I will pass on their coffee. Instant tastes better than theirs.
