Ruben's Restaurant

A foul smelling and old establishment that's needs to be torn down. The service was OK but not friendly. And like most Filipino eateries within southwest BC, they serve very little portions and penny pinch with every scoop of food. You will not get your money's worth since the food tasted very bland. Stay away from this rotten and filthy establishment. The wife and I will never go back to this disgusting place.

My go-to for Filipino food. Authentic flavours that take you back home after every bite. Turo-turo style so don't expect to dine in.

Did ordered online with 3 weeks prior my baby’s first birthday celebration. It’s actually my first time to try their food. But my aunt is so adamant to order the foods here which I did. And GLADLY, I listened! They even help you plan out. Expectations were met, exceeds even because almost the dishes are gone. Not even the visitors brought home some. They just enjoyed the dinner we ordered.
What surprises me most is the the lechon kawali and crispy pata. (I didn’t buy lechon because we don’t have space in case it won’t be eaten all so I ordered this as alternative) with 4lechon kawali and 3criapy pata, it feeds 12-15 people with a medium pancit, medium chopsuey, small tray adobo, small tray dinuguan, kutsinta. Thank you Ruben’s:)

Great service. Server is positive when communicating and very nice to the people she talks to. The Filipino food is good, too.

Miss eating at this place. Nice people, always smiling. Only take out now. But still good food.

4 1/2 stars, not just 4 stars. I have been to a number of Filipino restaurants in the lower mainland, and IMO this small, inconspicuous restaurant is probably the closest to authentic Filipino food that you can get. Prices are very good, selection is good, and I think there are also things separate from the menu that you can order for special occasions. This place is a must-try if you’re looking for something more authentically Filipino.

Change table: No

This used to be a dine-in Filipino restaurant that has improved their recipe through the years.the food is fast, quick & decent = COMFORT FOOD️

Today the establishment is only take-out.

Recently this restaurant has some changes so it seems. (a long letter from management found by the till) a bit lengthy in my opinion.
Basically explaining their cut backs‍

The photos from previous reviews are not up to date anymore, from the food bar, to the seating area.etc

Photo shows an example of the 1 item combo with ($7.25) lechon ($8.50-ish)
Note: take out rice is only 1/2cup not as previously seen on other post during sit down dining.

Price: $$ for the portion received.

This restaurant has always accept Debit or

Parking located at the rear

I had to leave this place because the service is bad, the lady last August 19,2019 (afternoon) was rude.
There is also a bad smell inside the "restaurant". Sanitation should be given more consideration.
Sorry I never had the chance to try their food.

Food is really tasty and service was really good! They have set food that you can pick to take out but they have a larger menu for party tray take out. I had the lechon kawali and laeng and really liked both of them. They only take cash or debit.

Good variety of selections and tasty dishes. Would be nice to have the options such as two or three items with rice for $10 bucks.like the food court style. Overall good service and good food.

Not really a comfortable sit down spot but the food is pretty good. Definitely worth for takeout.

Ok. Just wish they'd vary their menu once in a while. They cook daily so items are fresh but its the same menu week after week.
