Kumare Restaurant & Bakery - Richmond, British Columbia

The Sansrival here is absolutely disgusting! I make it at home in different variations and have been for years so I wanted to try their version to see how it compares. It is so so so gross and was stale! I can taste the refrigerator used to store it. Had a single ... bite and did not want to eat more. Took it home to my husband. Didn’t tell him anything and just asked him to try it so I could see his blind reaction. He made a face and said it was absolutely awful. I don’t think they used real butter for this. It’s just gross. Easily the worst dessert I’ve ever tasted. Service was extremely slow but the ladies were nice. I want my $6 back. Read more

The menu was so extensive that it made me happy just trying to choose what I wanted. The crispy pork leg was so juicy inside, nicely done. Overall, had a great experience.

Comparing to filipino restaurants in the US and canada, this is by far one of the best and authentic experience of filipino flavors you could get. Food alone is enough for you to get satisfied, I have dine in here for 3 times already in 3 consecutive weeks now and ... we always get the “Bilao set” and the cripsy pata is top notch. Order the nilaga beef soup, always good. Service is not so great but you could always ask. I would recommend this place if your trying to find a good filipino restaurant with good food. Note that we always order just two items every time we go there, the “bilao” and “bulalo soup” or “nilaga beef soup”. Ube cake is great also. Overall decent price, good food, decent experience but thats okay you are there for the food and get full. 8.9 / 10 Read more

Deeply disappointed with this restaurant, I took my wife here hoping she'd be able to enjoy some Filipino food the flavors of her home country , but that didn't happen. Since she can't cook truly traditional Filipino food at home without making some compromises to the dish for my sake, I ... thought this would be a place to take her for a taste of home. She ordered a boneless milk fish one of her favorites normally,but what she got was a tiny over soured fish full of bones, I ordered a safe option for myself burger steak... pretty simple What I got was two meatball lumps of ground beef that in a near tasteless gravy with a cup of rice and some frozen mixed vegetables tossed over the top, I was never asked how I'd like the egg served with it tobe cooked as a result I received a over easy runny egg that I had to give to my wife as I won't eat it. The Beef itself did not taste fresh and had a sour aftertaste to the point I didn't finish the meal. So the meal portions for both meals where small and of poor taste and not fresh, but the service was at a minimal level of acceptable, the place was clean however and friendly it could be a decent place to eat in the future if the owner take reviews to heart and address the many issues with food quality and presentation. We 100% will not return but I hope they learn and grow. The $50.00 we spent here wasn't worth it. Overpriced unquality, and just underwhelming I'm sorry I wish I could say otherwise. Read more

Disappointing! For the price that they charge they could make the quality of their food wAaayyy better! I ordered Bangsilog and in the description it says boneless milkfish, mind you, that fish was not boneless at all. It was too small and the only distinct flavor is the sourness of ... the vinegar! I could not even dip it on that side vinegar they gave me since its super sour already, no garlic flavor or atleast pepper. They also did not ask how you want your egg done, they just served an over easy egg to the sizzling burger steak that my husband ordered. The garlic rice was okay nothing special. I also ordered saba con hielo and it lacked sweetness for 8plus dollars it was not worth it! It’s sad that this restaurant did not live up to the standards of Filipino Food, too bad this is one way of showcasing our food to other foreign nationals but because we Filipinos settle with sub par quality most often our Filipino food does not get the recognition it deserves. Sorry, but I think you need to re-check the taste of your food. On the bright side, Service was fair it was not bad and not exceptional either, atmosphere is relaxed and its comfortable. But, I don’t think we are willing to spend another $50 here. Read more
