HALINÁ Modern Filipino Kitchen + Bar: A Straight Run West Along Hastings
Hastings Street carries on past Boundary Road into Burnaby, so for much of Burnaby, getting to Halina means following one familiar road west to Vancouver’s Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood. Waiting at the other end is a modern Filipino kitchen and bar that reworks classic dishes with careful technique and serves them in a room built for big, lively tables.
Four Friends and a Takeout Counter
Before the dining room on East Hastings, there was Bigboy’s Chigs To-Go, a small takeout and catering business started by four friends who loved Filipino food. Halina is the restaurant that idea grew into, with a kitchen that blends Filipino tradition and Canadian ingredients.
The name is a Tagalog word of invitation, roughly “come”, and the restaurant leans into it: the goal is a room where first-timers and lifelong fans of Filipino food both feel at home.
Where to Start on the Menu
Kamayan Feast Box
Halina packs a kamayan-style feast into a banana-leaf-lined box for pickup or delivery. Inside: two Chicken Inasal, Pancit Batil Patong, four Slamdunk wings, jasmine rice and four pork lumpia, meant to be opened in the middle of the table and shared. See the Feast Box
Private Events
Celebrations for 21 guests or more can be booked through the restaurant’s event request form, which makes Halina an option for milestone birthdays and family reunions.
Parking
A free two-hour community parking lot sits at the corner of Kamloops Street and Franklin Street, a block from the restaurant, and pay street parking runs until 10 p.m.
