Reviews for Jav’s Kaldero in Surrey, BC
Pictures and reviews from other people seemed promising however what we received was disappointing. The fried chicken tasted... old, no seasoning and super dry like jerky. The lechon kawali and bbq was 95% fat, the pancit was just taken from the all daybuffet and a few pieces of pork was added in garnished with lemon. Lastly, the tortang talong was basically grey watery mush.Very disheartened. Read more
Maybe it was an off day but the meals we had were not tasty. It tasted like old food reheated. Overpriced. Service was nice.
Very accommodating, truly Authentic Filipino food. Eat all you Can price is affordable.
I recently visited on Saturday with my boyfriend since we heard from a friend how amazing this place was especially since it was... all you can eat. Once we arrived it was not busy at all around 4:30pm. It was confusing because no one helped us or even askedus if they could get us drinks. I got up and got a plate and went to the buffet section which was quite small and not much tochoose from which was highly disappointing. We thought we could have skewers as part of the buffet yet they had an extra chargewhich is no problem but why promote yourself as a buffet when you do not have a wide selection. I asked for sisig knowing itwould be of extra charge and not caring because it?s my favorite plate and I was told they did not have any which was one of thethings I was upset about. I will say their Gulaman drink was quite tasty If I could only say so about the food. Since Saturdaywas my only day off I looked forward to having a nice meal with my boyfriend. The pictures and ads online were quite deceiving.If I didn?t have such an awful experience I wouldn?t push to write this message so eagerly yet I was beyond disappointed. Read more
Price is reasonable :) Food is good :) Thanks for accommodating my request for fried fish tilapia even though it was not in the... buffet menu. Truly, a Filipino hospitality gesture. See you again soon! Read more
We tried the buffet on a Sunday. Service is good Pricing (you decide) Location is ok Parking is limited Food choices is very... limited. Soup is a bit salty. They no longer have dessert when started eating (but was part of being advertised with thebuffet). Read more
Hmm what to I jav to say.. :P The service was very friendly. There was a steady flow of customers while me and my mom ate here.... There's some things that could be worked on, but thats understandable for them having been opened a couple weeks. It would havebeen nice if there was serving spoons with the food but thats alright. We did get our cutlery after the food had arrived. Justmay need more staff on hand for the amount of people in the resto. The food. If you can't cook filipino food for yourself, I'dsay give this place a try. We were asked if the food was okay at the end of our meal, and yeah it was just that, it was okay. Iwish the porchetta had been ready but it was done once we had finished our meal. We ordered my fave, kare kare, sisig, tortangtalong, and spring rolls. None of the food was bad, it was okay. My favourite thing on our table was the tortang talong tbh. Mymom asked why I ordered that and lumpia. And honestly I said, cause if that ain't good, nothing else will be. I would come backto try the silogs. Though if it was just lunch/dinner, I'd make the drive to Scott Road. I won't name that resto but ya'llshould know hehe. If you're craving filipino food and live in the area, defo give Jav's a try. Read more
Will definitely make you feel at home! Pag-pasok pa lang, the whole resto set-up and vibe was super Pinoy. ???? Food is... authentic, madaming pagpipilian, hot holding was in place, at masarap! All in all, the real MVP of the whole experience was AteJolina -- she gave our party a warm welcome and we felt the authenticity of her smile! (Kasama pati mata), super prompt,informative, consistent and friendly. Kudos! Read more
