“We stopped by for dinner on a weekday and loved that it wasn't overly crowded. The ambiance is great—really nice and relaxed without being too loud. The food was absolutely delicious and offers a unique, modern twist on traditional Filipino cuisine, all with beautiful presentation. To top it off, the service was great, and they have an excellent cocktail selection!”
“Such a vibe. And the best French toast I ever had and laid eyes on”
“First time trying Cebu Chicago and I was impressed. The space is beautiful, relaxed, and perfect for a weekend brunch. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The Breakfast Lechon Kawali was crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The Lumpia was fresh and crunchy, and the cappuccino was smooth and comforting. The star of the meal was the Ube Brûlée French Toast. It looked amazing and tasted even better soft, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. A great place for brunch with delicious Filipino-inspired dishes and generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back.”
“We had an incredible experience here. I booked a Kamayan Feast for our office staff to celebrate my boss's birthday, and everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, capturing authentic flavors that everyone loved. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was perfect. The drinks were amazing, and the vibe of the place was charming and cozy, perfect for a celebration. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, flavorful, and memorable dining experience!”
“First time here with my husband, he tried the breakfast ube chorizo, im filipino and we never eat ube bread with any type of meat in it, but this was something else!!! It was soo good!!! I got the short ribs tapsilog, soooo good! The marination is perfect with the short ribs. Then for drinks he got the calamansi daiquiri, this small glass does it work of getting u buzzed! I got the pandan latte with one shot, their pandan latte is perfect unlike other coffee shops that put so much extract in it, this one is made right!! For light desserts, we got the buko pandan sago and ube crinkle 100% perfect We will def come back to this place and try other stuff on their menu!! So far this filipino american fusion place is far wayy better in chicagoland than other places in the city!”
“Really yummy and delicious Filipino food, with really flavorful and elevated yet authentic Filipino flavors. Was a big fan of everything we ordered, especially the lechon. I also was a big fan of their desserts, especially the cheesecake, and it was clear that they put as much attention into their desserts as their entrees.”
“Service was excellent, everyone was so nice. Atmosphere is great. Brunch was delicious. Amazing Bloody Mary!”
“Great Filipino food! Go early because they were almost out of lechon”
“This is the second time I come here for breakfast. Their food is out of this world. The servers are sweet and helpful. The fried pork belly was cooked to perfection; juicy and crunchy at the same time. The Longganisa has great flavor. We finished our meal by splitting the Ube French Toast. This is going to be one of my staple restaurants for Filipino food.”
“I got the iced banana latte which was delicious and balanced! I also got the Breakfast Lechon Kawali which was a bit pricey at $24, but good. My friend got the longanisa and buttercream ube toast. Staff was super friendly and we got seated right away on Sunday for lunch. It’s super cute and open inside.”
“I grew up eating Filipino food, and I must say I LOVED this place. Best chicken adobo I’ve ever had honestly, great flavor, tender chicken, and perfect sauce to meat and rice ratio. Great vibes in here for brunch/lunch, got a table right away. I found free street parking a couple blocks away, but there is paid street parking outside as well. Ube Pan de Sol buns are amazing as well!!! Will be returning.”
“Was visiting from nyc and came here for brunch. This is the best chicken & waffles I’ve ever had - literally still think about it a month later. Chicken was perfectly crispy, ube flavor, syrup, and sauce were delicious. Also had the breakfast chicken inasal. Want to come back and try more!”
