“It’s been years since I last ate in this restaurant (now in their new and better location) and I wanted to confirm one thing: their food years ago just tastes the same now—SO GOOD!!!! Our favorite Filipino restaurant in Chi City no doubt!! Don’t forget to try their crispy pata, it’s to die for!!! BEST SERVICE TOO! 🫶🏽”
“Came for lunch. Staff were super friendly & food was great!”
“Been to many Filipino restaurants in Chicagoland area and this is by far the best. Conveniently located in Niles. Food selection is good, staff is very attentive. Restaurant is clean. Food is excellent ! Will definitely revisit and I highly recommend!”
“Delicious, authentic Filipino food, just like back home. Would come back for more!”
“Chicago guy here who lived in the Philippines for 3 years everything is on point here! Huge portions of pork in my vinegar soup that I used to call it when I lived there and didn't know how to pronounce sinigang. Their special combo is great too great marinade and tender juicy meat. Will come back again and again. Kilawin is awesome. It's a raw fish and vinaigrette for those of you who are not filipinos. It usually needs at least 40 minutes to marinade before serving. Improvement tips. Keep the place toasty warm it should always feel warm when you walk into a restaurant. You should pack it for them. Especially, if you're taking tips.”
“My wife being phillipino and I stopped in here for lunch to try this place. Service and food is excellent. The chicken lo mi is perfectly prepared. The fried rice is perfect not greasy. The Pork bbq screwers were perfect. The lumpia was perfect also. The pig ear and snout with egg si sig was seasoned well and perfect. The halo halo was also perfect. This place is a great taste of the philippines. AAA+”
“This was our first time to Ati-Atihan I drove past it almost daily and took in the great smelling BBQ aroma across Milwaukee Ave., we finally decided to stop by and have a meal there. It was one of the greatest meals we've ever had. This was also the first time eating Filipino food. The flavors were unbelievable, I had the bbq skewered chicken and pork meal and my wife had the Pocherong Bisaya soup. The atmosphere was great and cozy, the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I just can't say enough good things about this place. I already picked out my next menu item for my next visit. If your curious about this place, just go and enjoy it. You won't be disappointed.”
“Inasal is FIRE. bbq has the sprite taste if you like that. order ahead online for in-person!”
“享用美食，這裡是平價、乾淨和熱鬧的餐廳，我喜歡。 可能因為是週末，有好多人群聚，甚至有人們高唱生日快樂歌，大家看起來都很開心，讓我們也沾上許多喜氣。😍 接著我看到一道道美食上桌，真是吸睛😍，許多人訂了BBQ和白飯餐點，我們當然也不例外，就算服務人員告訴我們可能必須等45分鐘，我們立即點頭同意毫不猶豫。 是啊！這BBQ pork 的風味和我熟悉的味道，毫不違背，但是配上兩坨白飯，卻是我沒嚐過的，真是特別的下飯。😍 炸魚酥脆，可當作開胃菜。超級酸的番茄蔬菜蝦湯鍋，頗有傳統文化的風味。 之後，我們陸續來了幾次，還碰到客滿的情況，必須等候。我想週末最好還是預約一下，否則可能久候囉！ 另外，服務人員是樸實親切的，感覺得出來他們想做好服務，可是常常客滿的情形下，想必捉襟見肘，是辛苦的。”
“Used to eat on their old location and everything was good. Food service and price. But with their new location, everything changes specifically their service. My sisters called them on Saturday to make a reservation for 10 people to be there at 12nn to celebrate my brithday. Some already arrives around 11:45am and the rest arrives before 12:15nn. The food was not served even if we are already complete. We need to ask the server 3 times until they served it past 1pm. What's the use of ordering an appetizers if it came along with the main dish? After eating, we ordered Halo-Halo and took 30mins wait. We also ordered Mais con Yelo and was served probably 45mins later when we are billing out. The food is good but you will loose an appetite for their very poor service. We are about to walk away and just eat somewhere else. It’s a shame that even how much you want to “support your own” but because of the way what experienced you rather bot eat their unless you will be invited by someone for free or even free. Found out they also got a live bands on weekends but there’s a fee that doesn’t include food and drinks. It’s shame that for $25 you’ll get nothing.”
