Review from Julio C.

Been here once on a freezing saturday with snow all around the sidewalk. We ordered the traditional kare-kare and apritada, it;s a takeout coz we had to visit a friend in the area. The foods were so mighty good , I was speechless ( my mouth is full of food) and just devoured on the good stuff. hay (dighay) after that , i was so satisfied like a puppy.
This joint is highly recommended for the taste, portion, price, and customer service.I will definitely come back here. By the way , I had my own Filipino diner and i knew they are doing the right thing. -

This tiny restaurant has the look and feel of a typical diner...with a difference. It has a Filipino flavour.
We scheduled this into our "Spoon Tour" because it has a standard diner breakfast...which most of us had. The adventurous one in our group ordered one of the 3 "Filipino Breakfast Specials". Our friend had the sliced beef (which came with a vinegar dip). There was also a pork sausage, and fish version. All came with garlic rice and 2 fried eggs. He found it very tasty.
The standard breakfasts were, well...standard. 3 small eggs, home fries (that were really French fries sliced like HFs) and regular "Wonder-type" toast. The coffee was ok.
At 4.95 for the Canadian breakfast special - I think the Filipino version was 5.95 - you could hardly go wrong.Listed in: Breakfast places, Diners, Greasy Spoons and…

Review from Nicole C.
I checked this place out on the way home from yoga - cause nothing makes me happier than messing up some good workout with some greasy breakfast! Let me tell you that on first glance I thought with a name like Ritz that it was going to be a Jewish diner. Never did I think that it was going to be a Filipino resto with pretty good reviews from papers (posted proudly in their window).
I ended up getting the traditional Filipino breakfast with beef and it was mighty tasty despite the fact that I didn't really feel like I was eating breakfast. But it was good and a great price. My friend had the bacon and egg combo and was quite happy with it too. The only thing is I'm not sure if yoga made me extra hungry (all that corpse pose really gets me in the mood for eatin) but I felt like there could have been more on my plate.
Oh also - if you're bringing a stroller bring a buddy because you arent getting into those double doors without a struggle otherwise. I was caught in the middle at one point and almost asked to just be served in the corridor. -

This little Filipino restaurant sits at the tail end of a series of businesses that occupy
Donlands and Cosburn. The restaurant offers your typical diner food as well home cooked Filipino food. The food is better than fast food but don't expect Michelin star quality. The restaurant looks like it has not been redecorated since it originally opened up the sixties. But what it lacks in décor it makes up for in mass quantities is service and charm. As soon as you walk in, you can see the owner's children playing with their friends and neighborhood regulars having conversations with the owner. I had the traditional Filipino breakfast dish Silog and ML had Beef-Chicken Abodo. Both dishes were evenly seasoned and cooked. I will definitely return here at least on a monthly basis for the pleasant service and the cozy feel of this local joint. (the pictures are not from the restaurant since I forgot to take them, but this is pretty close to how it looks)
