Paragraphs:
Diners are here for bold, playful takes on Filipino comfort food—think longaniza-loaded buns with runny eggs, crispy Spam sandwiches, and those fully loaded adobo/sinigang fries that come tangy, savory, and stacked with toppings. The chicken adobo bun is a frequent favorite, while the tapa bun draws praise for flavor even if a few folks mention it can run salty. Adventurous specials like Filipino Spaghetti Lumpia surprise people in the best way, and regulars talk up the house sauces—banana ketchup and garlic aioli particularly—that tie everything together. Families note even picky kids get hooked, and some customers rotate through the menu because most items hit the spot.
On service, people consistently highlight how easy Shameless Buns is to work with for big events. Corporate teams and wedding parties mention seamless communication, punctuality, and quick service that keeps lines moving and hungry guests happy. A few even mention hassle-free details like no-deposit bookings and prompt invoices. At the Fraser St shop, diners describe a clean space and friendly crew, though they also point out limited seating and lines at peak times.
Customers come for the fun, high?flavor experience—Sausage Party, Sir Spam?a?lot, palabok fries, even pop-ups like chowder in a bun—although some mention the fries can be quite sour/tangy and a couple items can feel pricey or smaller than expected. Still, most leave full and satisfied, often calling out the owners Matt and Corvette for being warm and accommodating, and giving shoutouts to staff like Kim and Jay for efficient, cheerful service. It’s the kind of spot people chase down at festivals, bring to their celebrations, and visit again to try the rest of the menu.
