Something Sweet 4 U

Typical over price filipino restaurant…
Their barso de mercedes seems old, and most of the Filipino dish were pork.

This Filipino store tucked in a small plaza in Rathburn is an amazing find inside of Mississauga. A small place just strictly for take out. The staff are friendly and quick, although it looks rundown the food is as fresh as it’ll get.
They serve traditional Filipino food like Kare-​kare, bopis, fried fish, puto, hopia, etc. I will advise that people go there early due to shortage of food and people ordering an excessive amount that they just run out.
I will definitely recommend this store since its simy just so good. Second to the typical home cooking :). Enjoy!!!

Im glad I found a place in Mississauga that serves delicious Filipino food! Greeted by many smiles, this location is take-​out only. I ordered a one item combo (kare-​kare and rice) for $ 6.50, and the portion was quite filling and tasty. I was craving turon, but unfortunately, they had sold out for the day. I’ll be back; hopefully they will have turon then!

I am barely 1 month in Canada but I have already tasted Something Sweet’s authentic Filipino dishes twice in a row: first, was on December 25^th Christ’s day and second was on January 19^th, my birthday.
Food
While most restaurants have specific dish to claim for as specialty, in Something Sweet every dish that your tastebuds could try is all a specialty you can surely take pride in — every specific dish guarantees a true Filipino taste. The Palabok is glorious that even our friends of other nationalities devour it with gusto. Menudo, you crave? Dinuguan, too? Maybe, the Spicy Bicol Express? Name it, order it, taste it, and you feel Philippines is just an arm’s length!
Sweets:
If you’re afraid of getting a sore throat for eating too much sweet like Leche Flan, is not a worry if you get it from Something Sweet. It’s such a wonder how it was made creamy, sweet, fine and smooth, and cool to the tongue and after you ate a layer or slices, you can still enjoy your videoke keeping your voice still sweet to the ears! The Ube (Yam) is yet another not to miss — you may not know the exact ingredients but when you try it, the milk, the natural texture of the rootcrop and the distinct flavor of the jam all play deliciously as one to your gastric satisfaction.
Set up:
SS can cook for your meals in specific sizes, you can pick a choice and call to order. And oh, I should not forget the FREE DELIVERY when our order reaches a certain (not so big) amount.
The place may not be designed for dining, but a few small tables are set for our short stopover.
Service:
A sure quality service: warm accommodation at the place, friendly reception over the phone, prompt delivery to the venue agreed.
Price:
The PRICE is RIGHT… to your practical budget!

My parents are well-​versed when it comes to Filipino food in the Mississauga area. I came home one Sunday for our weekly Sunday family dinner and my dad told me about a new place called Something Sweet 4 U. I thought the name was a little strange at first, given that he didn’t order desserts or anything sweet, but once I tried the food I could see what he was so excited about.
The food here is consistently outstanding and is always excellent quality. There are two locations: one on Rathburn Road, an unassuming little spot in a strip plaza; the second on Bristol and Terry Fox Way, which is a little larger and is much newer. Both locations are of the same quality, although you will notice the chefs at each location have a different style. Also, the offerings at each location are not always the same.
Both locations serve food the same way most Filipino ‘restaurants’ do: cafeteria style. I wouldn’t go as far as calling Something Sweet a restaurant actually because there is no seating area. There are a couple of tables at the Bristol location, but there is rarely any room to actually sit down. The Rathburn location barely has room to form a line.
I’ve tried virtually everything they offer, my favourites being: binagoongan, caldereta, lechon paksiw, pancit palabok, lumpia shanghai, kare-​kare and ukoy. Honestly though, there is nothing there that I don’t like. I’m a little embarrassed to admit this, being a Filipino and all, but there were some dishes I didn’t even know about that I ended up really enjoying. Also, I almost ALWAYS order a crapload of turon. I love it (they’re 60 cents a piece).
The servers are always very friendly. I’ve gone when it was incredibly busy and I never had to wait very long. Like most places, they will tend to run out of food towards the end of the day. It’s hard to complain about that but it’s just a function of the ‘cafeteria’ style restaurant.
Price-​wise I think Something Sweet is on the same level as all other Filipino places I’ve been to. Whenever I crave home cooking, or am too lazy to make meals on my own, this is the first place I visit when I’m in the area.
