Tropical Hut Philippine Cuisine

I'm Filipino and lived 30+ years in the Philippines and 4 years in Toronto. I can confidently say that the food, service, and atmosphere here are very disappointing. The palabok was the most disappointing in terms of taste.One of our orders was kare kare. The server said they might not have enough ingredients for it but came back and said they can make it. They served it with all bones and 1 piece of small meat, some veggies. We would've ordered something else to replace it but I guess they thought we wouldn't and wanted to make that sale.The owner kept on cussing to himself in front of customers whenever they made a mistake. They took over an hour to serve us 2 dishes and 1 pancit. I cannot believe I paid $60 for food that I could have cooked better myself by following online recipes.I recommend driving to Toronto or Michigan for good Filipino food.

A couple things:1. Service was not great. The staff didn 't acknowledge our table of 4 until we asked her if we could get seated (their alarm system would ring anytime someone opened the door and it was LOUD [I know it was loud. We were seated by the alarm] . The staff who took our orders seemed impatient and annoyed the entire time of ordering our food. The only time I felt like she didn 't seem as annoyed at us was when she was giving our orders and when she checked on us while we were dining.2. We waited.... for a LOOONG time. According to my stopwatch, we waited for our orders of 2 A La Carte (1 Pork BBQ 1 Chicken BBQ , 1 Sinugba, 1 Dinuguan, and 2 bowls of rice for 1hr 15mins. I understand that they were short staffed as mentioned by another staff member passing by, but we should have been informed prior to ordering so we wouldn 't have wasted our time.3. The food. OHH MY GOOOSH.... I understand so much why they have a lot of good reviews because the food was great! I had a tiny taste of everyone 's order, and they were all delicious! We were especially positively surprised with their twist of the Sinugba.Overall, I 'm only giving 3 stars because the service was bad and the wait time was too long. I would 've given this establishment a full star if only the staff was more enthusiastic and proactive with helping our table (ex. Lead us to our table unprompted and not raise her voice and tone when I said Sorry? for not hearing her properly the first time when she was asking if my sister and I ordered the a la carte, etc. , and if we didn 't have to wait so long. I really wanted to give a better rating, but bad service combined with the long wait time really killed our enthusiasm for this business.TL;DR Food was super delicious! Wait time and service was so bad I had to lower my opinion to 3 stars. I hope it 's not always like this because the food is really good, and it 's a shame we didn 't have an enjoyable experience.

Food was great, enjoyed every last bit of what I ordered and the lady was super nice and patient. 2nd time I went though it seemed we were bothering them.

Great place and experience!The food was amazing and I would recommend this place, come give it a try!The service was excellent as well!And it wasn't noisey at all.It is also run by an amazing couple!

Authentic Filipino food, Cherry , our server is great! We tried the “boodle fight”, very generous serving, good variety, call in advance and food will ready.
