Metro Vancouver has one of the richest Filipino food scenes in Canada, and I have been eating my way through it one turo-turo counter, one siopao, and one birthday feast at a time. This guide pulls together everything I have reviewed so far, organized by city, so you can find your next favourite spot whether you are in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, or Surrey.

🏙️ Vancouver
Plato Filipino
- Location: Joyce-Collingwood, Vancouver, BC
- Style: Cafeteria-style turo-turo counter
- Must-Try Dishes: Laing, Ginataang Langka, Pork Sisig, Dinuguan, Pork Barbecue Skewer, Turon
- Smooch Verdict: A neighbourhood staple that beats the mall food court lines every time, with deeply nostalgic coconut milk stews and a hearty meat lover's spread. A Smooch Food favourite since 2017.
- Best for: Sunday family lunch after Mass
Pampanga's Cuisine
- Location: 5179 Joyce St, Vancouver, BC (Joyce-Collingwood); a second location also exists at 6094 Fraser Street, Vancouver, BC, though the Joyce Street branch is the one reviewed here
- Style: Full-service Kapampangan-style Filipino restaurant, and a regular festival vendor around Metro Vancouver
- Must-Try Dishes: Beef Kare-Kare, Chicken Barbecue, Original Pinoy Iskrambol (a pink shaved ice dessert with milk, sugar, and banana extract)
- Smooch Verdict: A reliable neighbourhood spot and a familiar, welcome face at nearly every Filipino festival in the city. The Iskrambol is a genuinely nostalgic treat.
- Best for: nostalgic Iskrambol on a hot day
Cool off with Pampanga's Iskrambol → • See Pampanga's Kare-Kare Combo →
Kumare Express
- Location: 5183 Joyce St, Vancouver, BC V5R 4G8 (Joyce-Collingwood)
- Style: Small turo-turo counter, with breakfast plates cooked fresh to order
- Must-Try Dishes: Bangusilog ($17.95), Tapsilog ($17.95), Pork BBQ Skewers
- Smooch Verdict: The crispy boneless bangus is a standout, fried in a tangy citrus marinade with a loud, golden crunch. The tapsilog beef stays tender rather than the usual dry or chewy texture, though the pork BBQ skewers could use fattier cuts for that classic street-style richness.
- Best for: a cozy silog breakfast after Sunday Mass
Sari-Sari Filipino Convenience Store
- Location: 5191 Joyce St, Vancouver, BC V5R 4G8 (Joyce-Collingwood)
- Style: Mini Filipino grocery and convenience store
- Best for: stocking up on Filipino pantry staples and snacks while you're on Joyce Street
A Little Filipino Food Row on Joyce Street
Joyce-Collingwood packs four Filipino spots within a short walk of each other on and around Joyce Street: Sari-Sari Filipino Convenience Store (5191 Joyce St) for grocery staples, Kumare Express (5183 Joyce St) for a smaller turo-turo counter with breakfast plates cooked fresh to order, and both Pampanga's Cuisine (5179 Joyce St) and Plato Filipino for full turo-turo spreads. Between the two turo-turo restaurants, Plato Filipino tends to be the easier pick, since this Pampanga's location is usually busier, which makes it harder to see what's in the steamed glass serving trays. It's not a loyalty thing, just visibility! Note that Pampanga's Cuisine also has a second location at 6094 Fraser Street.
Bao Bakery
- Location: 5115 Joyce St, Vancouver, BC V5R 4G8
- Must-Try: Bola-Bola Siopao, Asado Siopao

🍞 Filipino Bakeries & Sweets
Pamilya Delights

Goldilocks Vancouver permanently closed its doors on March 15, 2026. I said goodbye with a final Kare-Kare and Palabok brunch, plus polvoron, mocha mamon, and ube mamon to go. If you are craving that same era of Filipino bakery goods, Pamilya Delights (a block away) is now the closest and most reliable source for fresh Filipino bread and treats in the area.
🎉 Holiday & Celebration Eating
Filipino celebrations, birthdays especially, come with their own unofficial menu. Here is what to order (and where) based on my own family gatherings and restaurant visits:
- Noodles for long life: Pancit is a birthday must. HALINÁ's Pancit Batil Patong is a modern, hearty take worth ordering for a special occasion in Vancouver.
- Lumpiang Shanghai, the ultimate party favourite: Little Ongpin in Richmond makes the best version in Metro Vancouver, extra crispy and always a hit at family dinners. Pinoy Cravings in Burnaby is a solid backup.
- Grilled and roasted mains: Java Chicken and Lechon Kawali from Little Ongpin are birthday party staples, alongside Inihaw na Liempo marinated in calamansi and soy sauce.
- A full home-catered spread: For a sit-down family birthday, a Filipino home caterer can cover the whole table: palabok, pork embutido, rellenong bangus (stuffed milkfish), vegetable lumpia, and ginataang bilo-bilo for dessert are all classic choices worth requesting.
- Home-cooked Filipino spaghetti: Sweet and comforting, and often the centrepiece of a family-made birthday spread.
- A cake to mark the milestone: Cake It Easy in Vancouver is a great choice for a celebration cake with a Filipino-inspired flavour twist, like their Chocolate Dubai Cake or vibrant ube cake.
- Sunday family lunch after Mass: Plato Filipino in Vancouver's Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood is a comforting, cafeteria-style option for a big Sunday spread of laing, ginataang langka, sisig, and dinuguan.
- A sweet ending: Turon shows up again and again as the dessert of choice across nearly every review in this guide, whether from a restaurant counter or a bakery box.
- Noche Buena (Christmas Eve): A themed family potluck is a Smooch Food tradition. One year's Filipino-themed spread pulled together Lechon from Kuy's Lechon, LA Fried Chicken, Chop Suey and Bibingka from Pin Pin Restaurant, Palabok and Peach Mango Pie from Jollibee, and Lumpiang Shanghai from Little Ongpin, alongside home-cooked Filipino-style spaghetti and grilled tilapia.
