Shameless Buns

I went to the food truck at Lights at Lafarge. I was not expecting much but wow - I had the not your Lola’s adobo with sinigang fries and each bite kept getting better! The fries are amazing, perfectly crispy, salted with vinegar. The chicken was delicious. Together it was just a wonderful flavour combo and I would definitely eat it again.

The Chicken Adobo and Jackfruit Adobo were a bit disappointing. I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on top, but both could have used more flavor. The Jackfruit tasted strongly of coconut and the texture of the jackfruit was only ok. It's too bad, because the last time I grabbed food from the food truck, I enjoyed it more. 3.5 stars

Pretty delicious burgers and a healthy serving. 😀 We enjoyed the Not Your Lola's Chicken Adobo and Tapa Dat Bun (marinated beef) at a catered work party recently. The beef was a bit salty for me but I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. 🐔

Fantastic experience with Matt & Corvette's food truck at our annual driver and crane operator Holiday luncheon! The truck was punctual, the service was great, and the food surpassed our expectations. We also really appreciated the hassle-free process with no deposit required, and the prompt invoice. Thank you for making our event memorable and we wish you much more success and the very best for 2024!

LOVE at first bite! I first tried them when I came across their food truck and fell in love with their creations immediately!! I’ve tried most, if not all of their menu items and there isn’t a single item I wouldn’t order again. My kids are picky eaters but even they’re obsessed with everything Shameless! Their favourites are Sausage Party, Filipino Spaghetti Lumpia, Ice Candy and Happy Ending which we always order. My personal favourites are honestly everything. I can’t pick one burger/sandwhich over another because every single one I’ve tried, I’ve loved. I love how they’re all juicy and flavourful. I just order them on rotation during our visits because they are filling. Their housemade sauces are delicious and can be purchased for you to bring home. If you love Filipino food and being in a fun atmosphere, this place is a must. The owners are awesome and super sweet, staff super friendly and we always leave with our bellies full and a happy heart.

Sir spam a lot with fries a great combo for the vancouver sunny weather! Garlic aioli was fantastic and went very well with the fries. Didn't have to wait too long for our order as well. Great lunch option for most! Warning: the fries are quite sour but I like sour foods so I didn't mind that much.

tried the adobo bun sandwich combo and adobo fries from their food truck. although a little pricey it was worth it, would be back to try the other items on the menu UPDATE: went to their store on fraser st., we ordered little sausage sandwich, tapa bun, meatlof sandwich and palabok palabok fries ( SORRY friends already started eating so i wasn't able to take pics of their order [tapa, meatloft and palabok] ) wish they have a bigger store to accommodate more customers there was a long line when we went there but not enough tables for everyone. every sandwich is great but our favorite is their adobo sandwich

- "the little sausage" sandwich = $10 - - adobo fries = $15 - 《Chungry Rating = 9/10》 Shameless Buns just opened their first brick and mortar store on Fraser Street and you bet I was there opening day to give them a try! 🤯 If you've never heard of them before, Shameless Buns is known for their Filipino-inspired sandwiches, sinigang fries, and other goodies. On their menu, you'll still find your classic chicken adobo, crispy Spam, and longaniza sausages, but they've put in their own unique twist and repackaged them into something new, yet still familiar. Everything looked so good, but we ended up going with "The Little Sausage" sandwich and the Adobo Fries. Inside of "The Little Sausage's" nice and toasted bun, you'll find some longaniza sausage and atchara (pickled papaya slaw). I really enjoyed the sweet and spicy flavour profile of the longaniza. It was complemented nicely by the atchara, which gave the sandwich the perfect amount of acidity and crunch. I can't forget to mention their house-made banana ketchup and sriracha mayo! And that egg and fried garlic? So damn good! While I thought the sandwich would be bigger, each bite was jam-packed with flavour. As you can see in the pictures, their Adobo Fries are fully loaded. - Slow braised chicken adobo? Check ✅. - Crispy sinigang fries? Check ✅. I found the fries super interesting! They're savoury and tangy, kind of like salt and vinegar chips, and they loaded that box uppp! They don't hold back on the toppings either. You get tomato, green onion, fried garlic, and a nice drizzle of their garlic calamansi aioli on top. The tanginess of the fries was very strong in the first few bites, but as I worked my way through the box, the toppings and the aioli helped to mellow out some of the acidity. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I tried, and I can't wait to visit again to finally try their spam fries and spaghetti lumpia 🤤

We came around 2:50pm, for mains, they only had chicken adobo, meatloaf & jackfruit available, so we ordered adobo fries & Filipino spaghetti lumpia. The menu can be overwhelming as it it's not your traditional filipino food, it's all with a twist! So when you order, you can dine in, there's 3 tables of 4 seats and 1 long tall table with 4 stools by the window/entrance. The food was quite delicious i would suggest if you order the lumpia, to slice it in half & let it cool down, as is quite a chunky roll that's freshly hot to touch/bite.

Saw a lot of hype for this place but was disappointed. My order: - Not Your Lola's Chicken Adobo - Palabok Fries Firstly, the pandesal bun was tiny. Like it literally is the size of a side bun, not a regular burger bun. It's smaller than the palm of my hand... and I have small hands! The filling was scarce, & I honestly couldn't taste chicken adobo. It tasted more like shredded tuna chunks. For $11, size & taste was really not worth it. The fries were an additional $5. They were good. Costco-quality fries, with a unique spice flavour. I wanted to like this place cuz it looked cool & funky. But really, it was only worth visiting for the 'gram.

My mom and I decided to visit Shameless Buns during our visit to Vancouver. I first came across Shameless Buns on Instagram on another foodie's page and I was instantly interested in trying it out. When I first came to the restaurant I really liked the aesthetic. The restaurant was very colorful and had a photo op wall. In terms of food, we ordered the Ice Candy and the Sausage Party Fries. When trying the food, I thought the fries had good flavor and a nice crispiness. I just wish there was more sausage. The Ice Candy was interesting! I don't think I've ever had Halo Halo before so it was different. It was nicely sweetened but it didn't have much in it other than flavored ice. The little bit of topping was at the bottom. Overall, I thought the menu had a lot of interesting things to eat. Unfortunately, we had eaten so much prior that we were only able to get one thing. I would come back to try something new!

Saw this place open up close to us and we're excited to see what new kind of food is in our hood. It's Filipino food like you've never seen and definitely a must try! Ordering food for pick up was a little awkward I will say, as we wanted to get the Tapa dat bun and Sausage party. We also ordered the Spaghetti Lumpia. It was a really good variety and I highly recommend you try a fries, sandwhich and the lumpia. The Tapa dat bun is basically marinated beef on a soft bun, small but tasty. I'll ask for extra garlic aioli next time. The sausage party fries was so good. It comes with the sweet and salty Longinza sausage, the fries were so crispy and fresh, and almost had a slight vinegar tang to them, the green onion and sexy egg made it extra tasty. The lumpia is a must get! Even though ours was a little greasy. The crunch of the outside wrapper with sweet and savoury pasta inside, yum!!!! And it's huge! Me and my husband split it and I couldn't finish cause it's so big! They also had a couple of amazing hot sauces. The mango hot sauce, so good and oh so hot. Loved the flavour even though I couldn't have too much of it. We will definitely be ordering from heat often and I suggest you do to!

One line review: Worth a shot. We liked the vibe of this little spot on Fraser which was born from a food truck. Execution was... decent but not extraordinary. They have a small dining room, but we ordered for takeout (COVID safety, you know): - Adobo chicken sandwich - Signature Sinigang fries Portion was decent; value was fine but not extraordinary. The service was super friendly and helpful. They took extra time with us, knowing that it was our first visit. We parked for free in the neighborhood and walked over. There are also meters on Fraser. Bottom line: This was fine but not the kind of thing that made us feel like we would /have/ to return. But with such a small sampling, it's hard to draw too many conclusions. The servers were kind enough that we'd give it another chance, but we haven't rushed back.

Hi there! I'm typing away at this review all the way from Manila in the Philippines! Pandesal, Lumpia & Adobo have been my staple diet here. Yummy!!! If this review suddenly cuts off it's because of a bad connection, I'll try again later to complete it! Gotcha ... now that I have your attention let me introduce to you - Shameless Buns (Filipino food street food) - located @ 41st Ave on Fraser St. What started out as a food truck has now become a restaurant. SBs food truck was operating in Steveston, Richmond & still shows up in other locations around Metro Vancouver. It did so well in Steveston it caused a ruckus in the local business community! https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/food-and-drink/food-truck-owners-speak-out-after-disgruntled-steveston-business-owners-take-complaints-to-richmond-officials-3653113 SBs stood tall & has now opened a very funky cool décor tiny eatery - you must come check it out! The food truck will still be spotted around Metro Vancouver so look out for it! Shameless Buns started from the bottom now they're here ... on Fraser!

Not crazy much for options but a decent number of choices. Tasty but very heavy and salty. Owner doesn't seem to be Filipino but all the workers are. Friendly staff and decently clean. Small restaurant but easy for take-outs too. Happy we tried it once and not disappointed, but also not a place I'd go back to again. Great concept but just too unhealthy and salty. My favourite that is like to see some changes is the Filipino Spaghetti Lumpia. It's such a fun concept and the texture actually works great together. The Lumpia was nice and crispy, but a spaghetti was a tad too soggy and mushy. Also, the spaghetti should be a bit sweeter for that authentic Filipino spaghetti taste.

We heard a lot about Shameless Buns but never got to try their travelling food truck. Very fortunate that they opened a location not too far from us so we can try their funky Filipino creations! Based on their recommendation, I had their "Not your Lola's chicken adobo" sandwich served on pandesal. Delicious braised and tender chicken served with garlic calamansi aioli with papaya slaw and tomato! This was my favourite sandwich! Needed to have some Fili-Pino Cheeze steak fries. This is loaded with marinated beef, caramelized onions, chipotle cheese sauce, sriracha mayo... the works! Great flavours but I may have asked for a bit less toppings (weird, right?). Wanted to have some more potato flavour... or you could be like us and order spam fries. And dip that into those toppings! Super funky food and certainly worth trying out!

Definitely some solid Filipino fares and the flavors are truly amazing, however they are quite strong and aggressive which I think will turn a lot of people off. I'm not talking about the staff (they were great!) but the saltiness, fatiness, acidity, etc... feels really quite imbalanced, even for Filipino food which I know quite well and in some ways it supposed to be like that. I wish more of their menu was like their elote (corn) salad, that was pretty great This is the type of food you'll crave once in a while and will really enjoy, but will feel horrible the next day. It's actually pretty great at that! If you're already in the mood for food truck/fast food style aggressive flavors then you'll probably enjoy this place a lot! But 97% of the time I'm not feeling that so I can't really recommend this place because there's a good chance you'll leave feeling overwhelmed.

Years ago, the Shameless Buns food truck had me titillated with the words SPAM FRIES. Since then, it has continued to traffic its imaginative mash-ups of Filipino faves all over town. However, it has been increasingly difficult to lay my hands on these buns because of the breadline of ardent chowhounds clamoring for the pandesal sandos and the limited production capacity of the truck's kitchen. Enter the SB restaurant on Fraser Street. It's not a huge space to call their own (seating is extremely limited), but it's a space all the same, in a well-chosen location a stone's throw from Church's Chicken. The decor is loud, proud, and imperturbably Pinoy. #getshameless THE LITTLE SAUSAGE ($10) sandwich features longaniza pork sausage nestled in atchara (pickled papaya slaw) draped in a fried egg, moistened with sriracha mayo, and glittered with green onion and fried garlic. The toasted pandesal brioche serves as the perfect platform for this little gem. If there were a side of garlic fried rice, we'd have a near-complete Filipino breakfast. TITA'S MEATLOAF ($11) sandwich was recommended as a new restaurant-only item, and it is not to be dismissed. The two little embutido (Filipino meatloaf) patties smothered in garlic calamansi aioli and fried shallots were extremely enjoyable to ingest. FILIPINO SPAGHETTI LUMPIA ($10) was surprisingly delicious and surprisingly big. Think 'burrito' but with a crispy spring roll exterior contrasting with the soft sweet spaghetti interior - a brilliant carb-on-carb concoction finished with a side of chipotle cheeze sauce. Where I hope to see some improvement is in the quality of the fries: it would be awesome if they could be more wholesome and hand-cut rather than the generic skinny battered frozen variety. Our FILI-PINO CHEEZE STEAK FRIES ($16) were the only disappointment of the night, as the beef tapa and caramelized onions were far too salty and the chicharron too pulverized to detect. Nevertheless, it's not often that I have a meal where I immediately want to return and have more. Just be forewarned: the sandwiches are not exactly plus-sized; however, given the richness of the components, maybe that's not such a bad thing. If you're a fan of the food truck, you already know all this. And the restaurant's just as good. Be sure to ask for some complimentary banana ketchup and garlic calamansi aioli.

Very refreshing to see a new place pop up and spark the interest of Vancouverites with modern takes on Filipino food. The sinigang fries were very good, just enough of the sour flavour from the tamarind seasoning. a little bit on the salty side but I still enjoyed it. It tasted good with the sauces that are offered on the table. We were also really curious to try the spaghetti spring roll. It was huge! Sadly when we cut into it it was ice cold in the middle. Really wanted to give it another shot so the kitchen made it again. While I really appreciate this, the centre was still cold. I'm wondering if this would be better in an order of 3 smaller rolls instead of 1 big roll, just so that the heat has a chance to go all the way through. The staff was really nice tho and they agreed to give us a refund. Will be happy to come again and try different things next time.

Tasteful yes. Overpriced. Small portion (that's not how Filipinos eat - never that small) Too much ingredients in one meal Seatings are horrible (small place). Not enough on menu. Very potent cooking smell when you come in and leaving expect to stink so don't come to the bar after that resto It has potential but it's waaaaay tooooo small!!!

I enjoyed a Tapa Dat Bun and Sausage Party fries to go on a Tuesday afternoon. The Tapa Dat Bun reminded of a mix between a slider and korean type bulgogi bun, as it came with beef, cheese sauce, onion, and green onion. I couldn't taste the chicharron but there was a ton jammed into the burger, so in the deliciousness I could've easily missed it. The crispy sinigang fries were also delicious - a bit vinegar-y, although I could have used more longanisa bits. Note that the egg was not runny, so it didn't smear as well as it could have. All in all, an interesting concept which a cool spam can backdrop.

3.5 Came here with a girlfriend who grew up in the Philippines and she was quite happy it brought back childhood memories. I ordered Tapa Dat Bun ($11) with fries +$5. The marinated beef sandwich was a little larger than a slider packing a flavour punch. With that said it could've been 50% less salty and that still would've been more than enough. Fries were crispy but added to my increasing thirst. Meal was heavy but too small to be filling. Would I recommend? Sure.

These guys do an awesome job at creating a modern take on classic Filipino food. I had the chicken adobo pan de sal sandwich, and it was extremely packed with flavor. It had all the flavor of mom's chicken adobo along with the crunchy chicharon for texture and some green onions and tomatoes for acidity. It was well-balanced, so well-balanced that I ordered 2. The tapa pan de sal sandwich on the other hand was something I found to be a bit lacking in flavor and texture. It tasted almost like ground beef, and I didn't find the cheese sauce to add any better flavor to it either. Go for the chicken adobo because it's so obvious the recipe was well thought out.

We first tried this place from their food truck and we really enjoyed it. My other half is filipino so when we saw they had a little spot on Fraser we had to try it again. It's a great take on filipino fast food I would say. Quick place to grab a sandwich that is unique and super tasty. We ordered the Adobo sandwich and the Langunisa sandwich. I wanted to try it with their Sinigang and Palabok fries so we added on as a side for $5 with each sandwich. I found that a bit pricey to add some fries to a sandwich but hey, I was willing to give it a shot. The fries were decent, the sinigang fries had that vinegar taste to it and the palabok was like a bbq flavored fry. my only critique is the fry itself. They were not great, had that batter on them and not my kind of fry. I wish they were homecut, it would make the $5 worth it and would have been much better. The sandwich itself was delicious though and I highly recommend trying it. The fried egg on top of the Langunisa sausage was so good and runny. They use Aling Mary pandesal which completes the sandwich perfectly (best pandesalhands down in my opinion!). All in all a great place to grab a quick bite with a unique flavour. I will be back for sure!

LOVE at first bite! I first tried them when I came across their food truck and fell in love with their creations immediately!! I've tried most, if not all of their menu items and there isn't a single item I wouldn't order again. My kids are picky eaters but even they're obsessed with everything Shameless!

A bit pricey. But very tasty food and exceptional customer service. The teller was super friendly, I bought an additional burger just to stay there longer

When they said it's "not your Lola's adobo," they meant it. This is a different version so if you're looking for home cooking, this isn't it. It had that tang and the flavors popped (it does help to have water if you're not used to it). I loved it and would come back to this. The vibe was laid back, the server was nice and checked on us (small and homey spot). There were a couple of items that were sold out so that's a bummer. I wish the portions were bigger/proportionate to price which is why this is a 4 and not a 5. Try the chicharron for the road. It's fluffy, not greasy and super flavorful!

Shameless Buns is awesome. I got their spam burger and their adobo fries. I been wanting to go to their place for a while. Staff here was super friendly, the food comes out fast, it's not a long wait. I definitely want to come back and try their other fries and burgers. Their food truck is one of the best in Vancouver and I think it lives up to the hype. Until next time Shameless.

Got the cheesesteak poutine and it was pretty flavourful with a slight hint of spice. I didn't get any chicharron but I liked the sriracha mayo/chipotle cheese sauce (can't really distinguish between the two). The caramelised onions were good too, though the fries were soggy )but understandably so). The steak was actually crumbly beef chunks so perhaps using marinated beef slices would be better to improve the texture. Since it is a cheese sauce there is no cheese, however the cheese sauce doesn't taste cheesy at all so it's more like a chipotle/spicy mayo ground beef poutine. It's a little on the expensive side considering size and quality but nothing outrageous.

Their sandwiches are not big, but the taste is first class. Definitely a Filipino taste profile and both sandwiches were delicious. Plus, their fries were excellent. Given the size of the sandwiches the prices could be less expensive, but that is what it is in Vancouver now. For certain, I will be back for lunch!

Creative, delicious, and fun--a great new addition to the neighbourhood! We accidentally wandered in during their "pre-opening " media event... but instead of turning us (a clearly non-media family with 2 small kids!) away, they let us order. The sandwiches were amazing--we had chicken adobo, meatloaf, and jackfruit. The meatloaf was a clear favourite--a little spice, some tanginess, and delicious. But the others were great, too. Sausage fries were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back!

Loved the decor. Ingenous use of Spam cans to build an Instagram walk with their #getshameless logo. Tried their Filipino Spaghetti Lumpia and Ice Mango bars for the first time. We were not disappointed. The Lumpia is a crispy spring roll stuffed with Filipino Spaghetti, sriricha mayo, green onions and chipotle cheese sauce. Mango ice Candy was not sweet, perfect consistency . We also had our usual Not your Lola's Adobo chicken had low and slow braised adobo chicken, pickled papaya slaw, garlic calamansi aioli, tomato, green onion and garlic . This is my all time favourite . Hubby had his usual Tapa Dat Bun which had braised beef, cheeze sauce,caramelized onions, chicharon, green onion. The staff especially Joy were exceptional and took time to explain the menu to each and every client who walked in. We have had their food while they were operating their Food truck and am thrilled they have a restsuranr as well. If you have not tried Shameless Buns, highly recommend you do .

amazing find - fries incredible, chicken and jackfruit adobo sandwiches both terrific. make sure u use the homemade ketchup and hot sauce. highly recommended

Hired for for a private catering event. Great food, quick service. Fantastic choice for catering any event!
