The first time I got hooked with Jollibee was in Singapore 4 years ago. That was also my first experience of non-western fast food chain which blew my mind away. So different and nothing like I've ever had before.
Fast forward to present time, I came here to try out the American Jollibee just for the heck of it. Slightly not as good as the one I had in Singapore (maybe because Singapore is closer to the mothership in Phillipines?), but good enough to do the trick. I still like the big yum burger and the spaghetti that kinda tastes sweet lol. Halo halo is a must-have dessert in summer months like this 🙂
The service was pretty quick and there are plenty of parking since this Jollibee is located on a strip mall. I'm still a bit traumatized though because some rando creeper knocked on my passanger's side window for no reason as I was trying to pull out of my parking space.
The famous Jollibee, I live near here and when this place opened, there were lines around the block and massive traffic. Fast forward a few years, still long lines!
Surprisingly on Mother's Day, it was pretty empty around 8:45ish. Got 2 buckets of ChickenJoy (6 pieces a bucket) and fries.
I definitely felt a little played, one of the buckets was missing a piece of chicken, but I'll let it slide.
Onto the food, the chicken was super delicious, crispy and mouth watering. Last time I ate here, maybe 6-8 months ago, the chicken was so salty I couldn't even eat it, but this time, it was perfect. Fries were just fries, cant mess that up really.
Definitely will be coming back with my next chicken craving.
It's always good to enjoy some straight-up Filipino fastfood. It was my first time at this location, and for the most part it was a fairly good time. Food came out quick and hot, but for some reason it just didn't taste as great as it is in the Philippines.
My cousin got Palabok and said it was just alright. The topping (chicharron bits) got way too soggy when mixed and didn't taste right.
I got the Burger steak with rice. Aw man, that brought me back to the days in the Philippines. That was pretty good. I also got Jolly Spaghetti and it was okay. It was a little too salty for my taste (Filipino spaghetti tends to be sweeter), but wasn't entirely bad either.
My fiancé got the 3pc Chicken Joy and fries. He loved it, and I loved it. That would be something worth coming back for.
What threw me off was that they "ran out" of all the cold desserts and drinks. No pearl shakes. No halo-halo. No sundae. Nothing. The woman told me that they ran out of all of it by 9:30pm on a Saturday. It could have been true, but I think they just cleaned all their machines a bit early.
All in all, you're better off saving the Jollibee craze for the Philippines. Way better taste of food and nicer staff.
Ah, Jollibee–the quintessential Filipino fast food joint. I've been to a number of their branches: A handful in the Philippines and three back home in California–in San Jose, West Covina, and National City. Any comparison I make is with these branches.
Aloha Burger: If you like pineapple in a burger, this is for you. I was never a fan of this, but I was hoping it would taste best at this branch. The burger was made well, but the slice of pineapple in the burger is almost nonexistent; it was way too small. As for the patty, it's nothing special and overpowered by the sweet sauce.
Chicken Joy Bucket: It only comes with six pieces, which is a bit of a bummer, but I do like the chicken here compared to some local places. The skin is crispy, while the juicy meat is cooked thoroughly. Jollibee is known for their gravy and, as many have already stated, it tastes great. Among everything ordered, the chicken tastes closest to the chicken joy at the Philippine branches.
Pancit Palabok w/ 1pc Chicken Joy: Two words: It sucks. I've eaten palabok at other branches and this one is my least favorite. It looks and smells like palabok, but doesn't really taste like it. The noodles were way too soft (borderline mushy), while the sauce was underwhelming and disappointing. Unlike others, I did not find the sauce salty–just flavorless. There was plenty of pork, shrimp, and chicharron crumbs, though; I'll give them that.
Overall, the chicken joy with gravy is really the main thing I'd come back for. The ube pearl coolers are always a treat to order, but I was disappointed at the uneven cooking of the boba.
Everyone is just consistently so nice and you see smiles everywhere. People who dine here are obviously regulars. Service is superb. Booths and tables are clean. People behind the counter are very very very pleasant. Servings are more than adequate. Overall, a great dining experience every single time.
PS Halo-halo is my staple Filipino quick fix when I'm feeling homesick. And summer is just around the corner and this is definitely a must-try! I tell all my American friends to go visit jollibee. I wish I could 8-7000 jollibee delivery here as well! Too bad there aren't enough branches to curb my late night cravings.
Nothing compares to the one in the Philippines. Everything there is better and everything here just tastes off. The gravy for their burger steak is off and the chicken doesn't taste the same. While they're still good, they could do so much better if they can actually get the flavors right. But I can understand since they might not have the same ingredients considering they might be buying their stuff from Asian stores here or whatever. The line is long and it's always packed which makes it hard to scout for tables and chairs. The staff is friendly though I'll give them that. The place just doesn't look so clean but it's okay.
Was really excited to visit a Jollibee seeing that they haven't opened one up in Canada yet. Had to get the palabok and of course their chicken!
The palabok was pretty good for a fast food restaurant. Very satisfying. It was difficult to choose between that and the spaghetti. The chicken was delicious. Really crispy skin and the meat was actually juicy.
The restaurant was bright and clean and a big statue of the bee welcomed you outside the door. Can't wait until they open up a location in Toronto!
P.S. Filipino food is bomb diggity!
I grew up off this, and crazy to say this is my first time at the jersey location, located in a shopping plaza on danforth ave ! Lol…menu is kind of weirded me out, the most chicken for a chickenjoy bucket is 6 pieces! I repeat six! ..Got to be kidding me lol…luckily I missed the taste of their chicken that I paid $43.29 for 18 pieces(3 buckets) and a family portion spaghetti that's really portioned for one person Ctfu! …only because it's my countries version of kfc I paid the cost to be a boss…five stars because the chicken and gravy is on point , the service was a breeze, and food was served pretty quick…in and out the way I like it for fast food!
