We had the breakfast platter! The food was excellent price, portion & taste was bang on!!! Friendly service ❤️
Amazing food and all the staff arr friendly I recommend it to people. Thank you guys.
We had a great first dining experience. We grossly underestimated the portion sizes for the price (so reasonable!) and ordered way too much food for 2 people. However, the leftovers have been great! One of the best Filipino restaurants we have been to in Winnipeg!
The service was so warm, welcoming and polite. The cafe is cozy and comfortable. We have been twice, when visiting Winnipeg, and each time the meals have been delicious. The food is flavourful and prepared with care. The prices are fair and the portions are generous. It is a lovely little place for a wonderful meal. We look forward to a future opportunity to visit.
One thing about reviewing restaurants is I often find myself no longer stopping at places I had once visited. The algorithms constantly demand new and fresh material, and so places, such as Rice Bowl, on Sargent become places I used to visit. However, recently I decided I wanted to visit there again after a few years absence. Unfortunately, although I’ve paid three visits over the last couple of weeks or so, my camera acted up and I only have two photos total to show for three visits.

Came here for lunch with a friend on super cold Saturday afternoon. We were craving something rich and greasy and Rice Bowl never disappoints!
If you ever come here, you must order the Sigsig. It is the best I've ever had anywhere. This is a super rich dish! The onions, fat, lime and chili along with the spices that go into this dish gives it a super complex palate with a multitude of flavours. Make sure to order this dish with rice! Other popular Filipino dishes that Rice Bowl does very well is the Calderetta and the Kare Kare. Both comes with meat that is very tender and literally melts in your mouth. They have low and slow cooking down to a science and take their time braising the meat.
Service was excellent. The lone waiter was attentive and came back to check on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself is rather dated. Decor is spartan and could really use an update. Also, ventilation is somewhat lacking, don't wear your favorite blouse or hoody coming to this place cause it'll end up smelling like this place for the next week.
Just tried for the first time. Great food, great service, large portions. Will definely be returning soon to try some other dishes. Tonight we had the beef in coconut cream, fish and eggplant in ginger sauce and chicken satay. All delicious.

The best Filipino food I've had at a restaurant. It's got plenty of selection, but not too much so you know that they can focus on individual dishes with care. The food looks pricy on the menu compared to other Filipino restaurants (around over $10 a dish) but keep in mind one dish feeds 2-3 people. It's definitely meant to be shared and not as an individual portion! They don't include rice in the meal and it's $1.50 for a large bowl that can be split between two people, or one hungry person.
We had tokwat baboy (pork and tofu with onions and a vinegar soy sauce mixture), fried calamari, kare-kare (peanut stew with vegetables, oxtail, and tripe with fermented shrimp paste on the side), and eggplant salad. My favourite was the tokwat baboy. It has chunks of crispy pork belly meat - perfectly juicy and crispy on the top, with diced pieces of fried tofu. The kare-kare was also delicious, like mom makes.
Service was nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and clean.
Would totally recommend this place to someone who has not tried Filipino food before but wants to venture in and try it. I think it's a great "intro" restaurant and will make a great first impression. Whenever I'm back in town this will be a stop I must make now. ;)
After reading a few of the reviews, it seems most of the negative comments were in regards to poor service or expensive dishes. The service, I thought was fine. The server's were always apologetic to patrons whenever they weren't able to fulfill their request. In fact, I felt bad for the lone waiter having to deal with a very rude and condescending patron regarding her take out order. I know the service wasn't the quickest due to the likelihood of being understaff, but that's not a reason to berate anybody.
The menu is very competitively priced compared to other restaurants in it's price bracket. One reviewer mentions that 3 dishes for $40 is an absurd price. That's saying that 13.33 per dish is way too much. I guess it's not buffet prices cheap.
As most people know, Filipino cuisine tends to be very soulful. So loosen your belts, or bring your eating pants. This restaurant definitely reaffirms my belief that Filipino food is on an upswing in mainstream cuisine.
I really love their sweet short ribs! It's a shame I didn't know about the deal they had a few years ago. $10 for a whole plate of ribs on Tuesday? What an amazing deal! And this place is 10 min walk from my house too!
So good that I drive all the way from Pembina just to have their Pork Sisig. My favourite. Ate there a couple of times now. Staff are really nice and friendly. Food is always good. Their kare kare and crispy dinuguan are so good.
we always eat here at this restaurant every occations/events. food here are delicious and reasonably priced. crispy pata and lechon kawali are a must try. always enjoyed every stay here. i suggest moving to a bigger place, having more table to seat big events.

This is our go-to spot in the west end. We LOVE the chicken with lemongrass as well as the tilapia with eggplant. Each dish is infused with so much flavour and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are generous so we eat the leftovers all week. We love you rice bowl!
Great place. Portions are big. Friendly servers and good food.
Can't even finish what we ordered!
The best Chef in Winnipeg. ❤️🇵🇭 Coconut Beef, Pad Thai, Pork Sinigang, Kare-Kare, Grilled Pork Bellies, Beef Satay
💯 DELICIOUS 😋🤤 Thank you bossing.
First time trying out Filipino cuisine and I will say it is delicious. Tried out several different dishes to get a good idea of what is available. My favorite was the garlic rice and curry along with the Sigsig(?). Absolutely fantastic. Definitely recommend for a bite to eat.
Walked in with low expectations, surprised by the great food and portion size! A good menu with relaxing environment. They seem minimally staffed but otherwise service was good. Had the garlic chicken with rice and chow mein. Besides the noodles tasting like they had sat on a shelf for a few years, the food was good.
Best Filipino Food In The City & It's Not Even Close! The Coconut Beef Is To Die For 😍👌🏽
