Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited for diner with colleague before departing from city. Restaurant is located in supermarket food court.
Ordered different vegeterian and meat dishes also desserts.
All food was very tasty and plenty of many exotic spices. I am wondering how they making asian food- this is something very special!
This place is for exotic food lovers.
Restaurant is small and was full on tuesday evening- you must book a table if you go on evening.

Very nice, exotic food, friendly staff. I go there quite often, like several times a month. The waiting time was always very low to get a table. The opening hours could be extended. Also in the beginning the beef meat was out of this world, then I understood they changed their provider or something.

I went there today to grab with me a take away lunch. For some technical reason my order hadn't been received, but the wonderful staff made me my meal in literally 1 minute! And this was the tastiest meal I have had in years! I swear. Thank you Pobre for making my horrible day so much better by bringing flavors that swept me away from rainy Helsinki. :)

Complete disappointment.
The menu does not correspond to reality. Even coffee they have from thermos. Desserts are served frozen. Everything is warming up.
Don't follow the rules. The cook and the waiter without masks and gloves. The cook prepares and washes the dishes.
I do not recommend this restaurant.

We had a very nice dinner in this cozy fusion restaurant in downtown Helsinki.
The menu was very inviting, and we ended up constructing our dinner with a pile of short orders, and two main courses.
Coctails were very tasty, every piece of food was delicious, and service was friendly. We definitely come again.
A small minus was cappuccino, that clearly comes from a machine. It would be nice to finnish a dinner this good with a real deal. Hope they get that fixed for the next time.

Interesting new flavours, supposedly very authentic, though i am no expert. There were two loud groups closeby so we heard little of the waiter's recommendations. She came back to push for more which was a bit annoying. In a frendly way though. Affordable, too. Would have another go.

Had fantastic Loempia’s as first course and then the heavenly vegan dish Vegetable Ginataan as main. The rich taste, amount of food and very high quality for after all a quite a low price surprised me. I’ll certainly come again during my next trip to Helsinki.
Note: Pobre is located at the 5th floor in Kamppi, a bit difficult to find!

The food and the service were mediocre at best. The main course was only meat with nearly nothing else and the dessert cake didn’t taste like anything - literally had no taste. The atmosphere however was cozy and the drinks were great!

My colleagues and I were given the recommendation to come here for dinner and we were not disappointed.
It was apparent that this was a popular restaurant, as it was packed and if we did not have a reservation, we would’ve been out of luck.
The table ordered a variety of appetizers (octopus, salciccia, ribs) and it was all delicious. We wanted more. The accompanying focaccia was also delicious, so much so we kept ordering more.
For our mains, we had the lamb shank, sea bass and lobster tail. Everyone was happy with their meals.
I had the lamb shank and have to say it was a bit bland for my taste. I would definitely not recommend if you like your food more seasoned.
However, if in Helsinki and you want to taste something different than local cuisine, make a reservation and go.

True 5 star experience and it does not break the bank. Service was so friendly from the start and we could taste wines and even whiskey before ordering. Foods were nicely explained and tips given if needed. Atmossphere was suberb and the lighting was just right.
And the food, had some of the best portions this year. Tuna carpaccio was the best, calamari was something different, first time for me, sauces were great and potatoes were great. Cocktails were good too.
I'd go for multiple appetizers and shared main, the appetizers are just so good!

Main course entrecote with chimichurri and batatas brava was as excpected. Very good. The waitresses served us friendly and professional way. I recommend!

Simple and excellent. The croquettes were a little bland but the parilla was sublime. The only place I know other than in the Leventano in Spain where you have to scrape rice from the pan. Really, if I had a blindfold, I would have thought I was in Spain. And besides, the service is very kind

Visited there on Friday night with great expectations referring to nice selection of small orders (tapas). However, good ingredients were spoiled by ty too much salt, which you can not remove from your portion. Service was excellent and nice athmosphere.

Philippine / asian restaurant.
Lively, small place. Wonderfull athmosphere. Good food. Small but OK wine selection, goes well with the food. Good value for the bucks. Don’t be turned off by the location in the Kamppi mall.
Go again? Sure!
