    Delicious Filipino food! Came here with a group of people after work and we had a great dinner. Great selection of different dishes, and service was friendly and attentive.

    The food was tasty and authentic. I loved the flavor profiles of the different dishes we tried! We were all stuffed by the end of the meal. I would recommend to others and will definitely be back!

    My friends and I were craving some Filipino food, so we decided to check this place out.

    I looked at the binagoongan description and had to go for it. You have to have the crispy pork! Definitely the best plate from what we ordered. Nothing too special about the spring rolls or the chicken wings.

    It is very busy so it'll take a while for them to help you. Otherwise, friendly and feels like a large gathering at home. I feel like there were a lot of sizzling plates, so I might order that the next time I'm in. Smelled delicious in there.

    Authentic Filipino cuisine at it's finest. This is my favourite spot in Vancouver to get Filipino food.

    I've been to Kulinarya a few different times now for different reasons: pop up events when they bring in Filipino chefs from around the world and showcase a special menu and on my own time for brunch and dinner. All the times I've been have been excellent.

    I've said it in past reviews, but I don't normally seek out Filipino food when I go out to eat, primarily because I've been spoiled with such great Filipino food at home. Nothing can compare to my parent's and grandma's cooking. Buuuuut, Kulinarya comes really really really close. They are about as authentic as you get all while adding a modern twist to their dishes.

    I love me a good Filipino breakfast and Kulinarya does this well. They have your typical fried rice, eggs and longanisa dishes, which is fantastic, as well as an assortment of other dishes. To be honest, I haven't tried any of their other brunch dishes, primarily because I love me a good traditional Filipino breakfast. But they do have ube pancakes, which is on my list for my next visit.

    They also do Kamayan style meals which means "eating with your hands". This is a unique Filipino experience where all the food is placed on top of banana leaves and you dig in with your hands. It's $30/person Monday-Thursday and $35/person Friday-Sunday, which is a great deal for all the food you get and the experience you can brag to your friends about.

    Filipino dishes are usually heavy on the seafood and meat, but Kulinarya is one of the only Filipino restaurants that I've see create a separate veggie menu. Snaps and applause for them!

    If you're looking for authentic, home cooked meal style Filipino food, you need to visit Kulinarya. Your taste buds will thank you.

    Excellent boodle selection complete with authentic banana leaf spread with white rice, lechon kawali, Kare kare, pritong Bantus, plantain, Lumpia and mixed veggies such as talong (eggplant), bokchoy and string beans. Four allocated sauces consisting of mang Tomas lechon sauce, chili sweet sauce, vinegar and bagoong (shrimp paste).

    Decor is filled with Filipino memorabilia from pictures, straw matted plates and wooden seatings.

    Highlight of the day: eat with your hands!!

    Washroom is gender neutral. Staff is very friendly and rotate to ask if customers are satisfied and needs anything.

    No wifi.
