“Grew up near Cubao, QC where they had a Hong Ning restaurant.”

Grew up near Cubao, QC where they had a Hong Ning restaurant. They eventually left the area and heard they (or the family) moved to the NW Chicago suburbs. While not quite the same, the food here is quite decent. The pork bbq is very much Filipino style, so highly recommend that. The fresh lumpia when available is a must order. Service was quick and friendly. And we were always able to find a table available immediately. Ample parking.

AMAZING! Here's how I judge a restaurant if the natives are half of the occupants of said restaurant, the food is ALWAYS good. You realize that they're not going to come waste their money on just average food! Our friend is Filipino and recommended this restaurant.

“Hong Ning Filipino Restaurant offers some authentic Filipino dishes and desserts.”

Hong Ning Filipino Restaurant offers some authentic Filipino dishes and desserts. All of their dishes are served à la carte and family-style, big portions meant for sharing. Make sure to get plenty of white rice or garlic fried (sinagag) to enjoy the plenty sauces and flavors. Highlights were the KareKare (stewed beef), Dinaguan (chocolate pork) and Pancit palabok (shrimp with a spaghetti like rice noodle). For me, the two appetizers were hit or miss, Fried Bangus and Sisig, needed some sawsawan (vinegar dipping sauce) to help bring it together. All that aside Hong Ning impressed me with great food, a warm environment and friendly service. Salamat po, kitakits!

“Very delicious food.”

Very delicious food. Ordered so much food and it was all very tasty. We had lumpia, pancit and caldareta. The pancit was a little wet from what I’m use to but it was stilll very flavorful.

Fantastic place! Excellent food and service coming from a quaint and homey restaurant. Well-made traditional Filipino food is served here and is reminiscent of a delicious home-cooked meal. We called ahead and ordered for pick-up. We ordered the crispy sisig, miki bihon, egg rolls, crispy pata kare kare, lechon kawali, and halo halo. It was all very delicious and was an exemplary taste of the cooking back home in the Philippines. The sisig was rich with flavor and practically melted in your mouth while some of the pieces still had a bit of crunch to it, which was perfect! I only wish it was cooked with hot peppers. The lechon was reheated in our airfryer, which got it crunchy again, the kare kare was expertly made. The pata meat was stewed to perfection and very tender. The sauce was savory, and the vegetables were so fresh that they still had a nice snap to them when chewed. The bihon noodles were plentiful and euphoric. The eggrolls were crispy and meaty, and the sauce that came with it was tart and tangy. Overall, my experience was an excellent one. The food was ready for pick-up at the time given. The dining area was clean with ample seating. The prices seemed fair, as the portions were large enough to feed several people, and the volume seemed appropriate given what the prices were. There was a sign posted about how they are short-staffed, so please be patient with any longer waiting times and call ahead accordingly if ordering take-out. Again, this was an excellent culinary experience. Thank you for the great food and awesome service!

“Food is tasty, service is phenomenal and the owners Marilou & Ernie are Welcoming and Great.”

Food is tasty, service is phenomenal and the owners Marilou & Ernie are Welcoming and Great! They seem to care about their customers and building those long lasting relationships with the Filipino community, Sometimes I feel like I am actually a part of their family like a nephew or something! 😆 I must say, Enjoying my meal while OPM is playing, makes me feel like I’m in the phillipines! Sir Lakay the head chef and kuya Chan really know how to throw down in the kitchen! Some of My favorite dishes are the Crispy Binagoongan, Pancit Sotanghon(on the dry side with extra lemons! I like my pancit Maasim) Pinakbet, Chicken Inasal with Java and the Crispy Pata Kare-Kare with bagoong on the side for that savory, satisfying, crunchy, salty bite! Ate Gina who works in the bar is super awesome too! She is always fun to talk to with a good sense of humor and positive outlook on life she makes the best and prettiest looking desserts! Sometimes when I dine I get to see Jovi I think he also goes by Jmic and Carl those guys are cool! 😎 what I love the most about Hong Ning is how they are very family oriented, you feel at home when you come to dine with your friends and families. I’ve tried other Filipino restos in Chicago, and trust me I will always without a doubt love Hong Ning the most, It’s also super cool how many famous Filipino artistas have dined in there so far including myself! Charot, by the way you have to try their Chomporado made by Mae! The rice has a unique texture to it and the chocolate is decadent! Yeah yeah sure sure!

“I have now been here a few times with a friend and I’ve loved every single meal.”

I have now been here a few times with a friend and I’ve loved every single meal. I finally took my parents and family here today, and they also loved it. Food is always on point and so flavorful! Staff is very friendly. Love the chicken inasal (the vinegar sauce 🤤), pancit, bbq skewers, garlic rice, lumpia, ube panna cotta , and halo halo dessert! This is definitely a go-to place for Filipino food now.

“Stopped in for lunch.”

Stopped in for lunch. Busy. There was a large party gathered for an occasion. Still plenty of seating. I ordered the Chicken Inasal with Java Rice Plate and Halo Halo for dessert. Food came out quickly and was freshly prepared. Delicious! This will be favorite Filipino restaurant whenever I’m around this area.
