About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
Cathy Ortega & Gerald Aquintey didn't know what to expect after finally opening up a Filipino small grocery & takeout joint together. The shop was doing great but they wanted to do more. They wanted to give Toronto a much more authentic Filipino taste and experience without the price of a flight to the Philippines. Kamayan / Boodle Fight (the formality of eating with your hands) was the obvious solution.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tinuno - Downtown offers an authentic Kamayan feast experience with "delicious food full of Filipino flavours" and "great value." While the cozy ambiance and friendly staff are appreciated, service can be inconsistent. The communal dining style adds to the unique experience, with highlights including "unlimited garlic rice" and a variety of meats and seafood.

    The Kamayan feast experience was unique and fairly tasty. It seems that all of their food is pre-made and reheated. We ordered some pork lumpia as an appetizer and only 1 out 7 was hot. All the others were cold. When we asked them to reheat it, the server didn't even seem apologetic or phased by the cold food. Overall, the terrible service affected the overall experience as the servers were extremely inattentive and we had to ask several times to get our drinks and food.

    I really love the Kamayan dish at this restaurant. However, the service could use improvement. I brought my mother and daughter there to experience it, and even though it wasn’t busy, they barely came to provide service or even greet us. Also, they didn’t give us any napkins at our table at all. When I asked for some, they gave exactly one. That was weird… Especially because we’re eating with our hands. The reason I’m giving this a higher rating is mostly for the food.

    The chicken skin was shown to be 7 dollars on the menu, but they would only sell it to us for 15 dollars because they “only serve the large size.” Why don’t you just list it as 15 dollars then? The seafood wasn’t that fresh plus they overcooked the fish. Our favorite was the mango salad at the start.

    Everytime is a different experience, this time we didn’t get our drinks, there has been some plastic chunks in the food and the food itself was only warm, but somehow we like it there and go there often

    First time visitor. Surprisingly good food for such a modest setting. And great value! And the service was up to par.
