The costs of the food was quite high for what it offered. The taste was okay, but the overall atmosphere didn't really give me the Filipino vibe I was expecting. It would have been nice if they played more local Pinoy songs or OPM music to create a more authentic experience. That said, the service was excellent, and the cashier was very friendly and accommodating. I'm not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon, but I wish the business all the best and hope it continues to improve.

Need more tables and seats. Should consider playing english filipino music instead of foreign songs for added filipino vibe. Toilets are clean. Good place for a quick crave of filipino street foods.
Get the kwek kwek, mix the sauce and vinegar, thank me later
I think the place is a good spot if you want something quick to eat. I wasn't too much of a fan of the texture for most of the dishes, it might be my personal taste but I did enjoy the queck queck and the pineapple juice.
The food tasted lowkey bad. Its also too overpriced like 6 skewers for 23 bucks like come on man! Ive waited 3 months for this restaurant to come out and it seems like ive wasted my time for something overpriced. Also, theres 2 workers only working so the line was too long. I'll give 3 stars for the atmosphere since it was well decorated. I highly recommend just making your own skewers at home than buy this bs. Do better next time.
Authentic and tasty food. Felt like I left Montreal!
Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic filipino street food! I got the Street Box (with the house sauce) and taho for dessert... all 10/10. The food was delicious, staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and overall had a really great experience!
I understand there are overhead costs, but the prices dont match what ure getting. The food was mid, nothing particularly special about it, and the taste didn’t justify the cost.
Nice vibes, but too expensive. Got 12 small skewers for 70$
The food was average and overpriced — four sticks and a drink cost $15 before tax. The place is clearly understaffed, with only two people preparing food and one cashier, which made the wait unbearably long. I waited over 30 minutes for my order. Overall, disappointing experience for the price and service.
All the best in your journey Rise and Shine I’ll definitely come back again for more BBQ 😋 Godspeed.Love & Support ❤️🤠👋
Cool concept! Glad more Filipino joints are opening in Montreal, but the portions were very SMALL, the taste was just OK and it was expensive, 6 SMALL skewers came upto $37 with taxes and tip. To top it off, they didn’t have rice 😏 They should visit and learn from « Little Manila » located on Bathurst and Wilson in Toronto, where portions and taste match the price. Nonetheless, I wish this place luck and will be supporting them again in a month or so, hoping for improvements.
I was really excited to try this place since Filipino restaurants are still pretty rare in Montreal compared to other Canadian cities. The food was fine, but the pricing felt high for what it is. It doesn’t really give that “pang masa” or “presyong Pinoy” feel, especially with items like 6 assorted sticks at $24.95. Because of that, I'm not sure it's somewhere I'd return to.
I love the Filipino street food! ❤️ I would also suggest preparing more cooked skewers in advance and displaying them, so when customers order, the staff can simply grab them. It would make the service more faster. Also, when the skewers are served extremely hot, they burned my tongue. Letting them cool slightly before serving would improve the experience. Overall, I still enjoyed would love to see it continue to improve. 😊
Just got back from the Philippines and their street food sent me (thankfully) right back to Manila! 😮💨❤️🔥
