Bistro Manila of Naperville

“We love Bistro Manila.”

We love Bistro Manila! It’s the only Filipino restaurant in our area. We would usually order food to go when we are craving for Filipino food. Recently, we celebrated our son’s baptism in the restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food is always delicious and the owners are so friendly and nice.

“Super cute bistro with very authentic Filipino dishes.”

Super cute bistro with very authentic Filipino dishes. I loved the chicken adobo and pancit. I was super excited they had halo halo and served it in a large glass to enjoy while dining in. They had a great selection of authentic baked goods like babingka (the time/day that I went (your visit might yield different items or availability). The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed - you order at the counter and sit anywhere you would like. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Filipino meal!

“A wonderful, homey, and cozy place to have a Filipino meal whenever you're just wandering and hungry in Naperville.”

A wonderful, homey, and cozy place to have a Filipino meal whenever you're just wandering and hungry in Naperville. FYI: Food selection changes everyday and mostly stays the same during the weekend, so you have a chance to try a variety of foods. Highly suggest trying their tocino. They make their own recipe for it, and omg, it's so tender and flavorful! Thank goodness I saved some leftovers for later. I also suggest trying their lechon sisig and menudo. The young man and his mother who served and greeted us were extremely friendly and helpful. They really make you feel like you're having a comforting meal at home. Will definitely be back! I gotta grab more of that dessert. 👍👍

“Just tried this chill Filipino spot.”

Just tried this chill Filipino spot. The food was delicious, they have a daily menu and everyone was so kind to go over the menu for that day. Homey vibes, friendly staff—total comfort food haven. Highly recommend for a low-key, tasty escape.

“Needing to bring an appetizer to a Halloween party in Aurora, I stumbled upon this place after...”

Needing to bring an appetizer to a Halloween party in Aurora, I stumbled upon this place after making several calls to similar Filipino restaurants. What drew me to this specific one was that I was told that these lumpia shanghai was hand rolled / made in-house; not from frozen packs, which was the norm. I was also told it was a bit longer than the frozen versions. After all that, the proof is in the taste. And it was excellent!! It was also still hot and was ready at the time promised. From what I saw from the owner was a small quaint resto which was very clean and modern, unlikes what I grew up with. If I am ever back in this area, I will need to dine-in and try their other options on the menu, but for this order, it was more than I had expected. Excellent lumpia shanghai!!!

“It was our first time here and owners are very welcoming.”

It was our first time here and owners are very welcoming. You choice what you want to eat as you walk in then have a sit. Food is home cooked and well prepared in portion size. Cozy sitting area where there is music in the background playing. You can get a cup of water or get a beverage from the refrigerator. They do have desserts and I enjoyed my Halo Halo was good on this hot weather today. I can't wait to come back on a Saturday. Their menu changes everyday and every week which is a plus.

“First of all you are warmly welcomed, then he explains what’s on the menu for the day.”

First of all you are warmly welcomed, then he explains what’s on the menu for the day. The host and who I presume the owner is was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. The food I ordered was delicious especially the eggplant and I suggest asking for the soy sauce with calamansi (lemon type). The ube desert was also delicious! I recommend giving this place a try! I forgot to mention, check out their FB page for the menu because it changes!

If you want authentic Filipino food, go to Bistro Manila! My family and I LOVE the many amazing meals served here and enjoy speaking with the kind owners. This is a place we will continue to come back to over and over again. The laing is my favorite.

“I recommend the pork Tocino, the lumpia shanghai, the fried rice, and the chicken Inasal.”

I recommend the pork Tocino, the lumpia shanghai, the fried rice, and the chicken Inasal. They have a revolving menu so it's always changing. Miguel served my wife and I food here. We were looking for specifically a Filipino food cater and this came across our search. We tried out their food and we loved it, big portion! Very flavorful, great hospitality, the family owned business has really great cooks and service too, all well mannered. We met them in the process of choosing which foods to cater. Miguel is very polite and professional with his email's both in person and setting up for catering. I highly recommend this place for a good local filipino cuisine crave, along with if you need Filipino catering!

“Don't arrive on time.”

Don't arrive on time. I got there 11:30a but nothing was ready and they opened at 11a. Food not on display and drinks/cans fridge not filled. There is no menu on display, it is pick your food item from what's available for the day. If I recall correctly, small container is 12, large container 20, and combo plate (rice and 2 items) is 14. It's not posted anywhere, I had to ask. The selection is not extensive. The ambiance of the place is nice and clean though. Seats 24 by tables of 2 and 4 Overall the food is ok but really salty. They give large chunks of meat. The pork adobo was oily, and I know it gets oily normally, but the picture shows the sauce was straight oil. The sinigang was average. I don't even think they have eggs rolls, they weren't on display or written anywhere as available to purchase. The service is kind, but they need to get coordinated. I thought they were offering a free dessert for them not being ready at opening, but it was simply a suggestion for me to purchase.

“We made a stop at the place on our way back to Indiana, hoping to get some authentic Filipino food.”

We made a stop at the place on our way back to Indiana, hoping to get some authentic Filipino food. It was a disappointment. It was overpriced. The beef bistik Tagalog was so salty, and it was so oily. It was like a soup in oil. There was too much onion and bell pepper in the sisig, and the cut of the pork was huge. The place was cozy, but it wasn't I expected of an authentic Filipino setting. It was more of a glorified Westernize setting. I wouldn't come here for authentic Filipino food.
