by Teresa Torralba, photo by WAVES In 1994, exactly 20 years ago, Rey Sunga opened Aristokrat, a restaurant and karaoke bar on Wilson St. near the corner of Bathurst Street. The restaurant became a pioneer in karaoke entertainment. Soon after, its popularity made it the watering hole for Filipinos from different walks of life. Day after day. Night after night. It was so famous that it had evolved into a showbiz hub for concert producers, their artists and other vis- iting Philippine celebrities. Community organizations also flocked to Aristokrat. The formula was simple. Excellent Food. Fun Entertainment. Great Service. And Rey, himself. Food is fresh as it is served a la carte. Their menu offers tradi- tional Filipino food favourites. Filipinos love to eat. So the restaurant remains open until the wee hours of the morning. Apart from their succulent dishes, the restaurant is popular for its famous appetizers or pulutan. To this day, Rey Sunga’s famous lechon is the choice in Filipino events and gathering. It is a place where you can get the tradi- tional taste of the popular Filipino roast pig. Now, on it’s 20th year of operation, Rey Sunga is back to his passions - cooking, serving and entertaining. With his siblings, the resto/karaoke bar is now family-owned and managed.
