Reviews for Cebu in Chicago, IL
Came here for dinner with friends. We were seated outside which is an open area at the back with outdoor umbrellas. The ambience... was nice and the staff was pleasant. We had calamari, popcorn chicken and lumpia. I personally preferred the lumpia which wasmeat inside a crispy roll. Then we had the main course which included Adobo chicken and sampal BBQ chicken sandwich. Honestlypreferred the chicken sandwich. The Adobo was not something I'd get again. The drinks were good. They had Virgin options for thealcoholic drinks. The painkiller was really good. Read more
Happy hour available 5-7 sunday-thursday. Dog friendly outdoor patio in the back. Recommend reservations as we got here early... and the patio was filled up Highly recommend looking at the menu before hand. Went here on a Tuesday for dinner and it takesawhile for you to get your orders. Currently waiting over 32 minutes for my entree. My wife was served her food but I had toconveniently wait 13 more minutes without any explanation or attention. So while my wife was eating I waited for my entreestarved. The lack of help is slowing their efficiency. Overall ended up spending 2 hours for our whole meal including drinks,appetizers, and waiting for the check. Food is good and shows off different flavors of the Filipino culture. They combinesweet, acidic, and umami. Freshness and marinades. Although compared to some other places for Filipino food it does appear to belacking something that fulfills my Pinoy craving. Service: initially great, but sluggish as the establishment gets busy Food:good for introductory to Pinoy food, but missing that traditional satisfaction. Atmosphere: patio is romantic, string light, buta good amount of foliage kept falling into our food/drinks/water Room for improvement: need staff help Overall: good to try atleast once but go early Read more
Cebu is one of the places I always plan on visiting. As a Filipino myself I take pride and support places that showcase... Filipino cuisine and culture. We came here for an impromptu dinner and we were greeted with a smile by the restaurant staff. We started the with the ube pain killer and Cebu later. Both drinks tasted good. We then ordered lumpia, chicken adobo, andsisig. I haven’t had sisig in a long time and I would say it reminded me of home. The lumpia was nice and crispy. The adobowas decent. This was one dish I know how to make so I have a different cooking preference when it comes to adobo. We ended upwith halo halo, which is my all time favorite dessert. Overall, Cebu was a great experience with lovely food and atmosphere. Make sure to stop by! Read more
Good food! Great little outdoor space out back with lawn furniture. A little on the pricey side. Menu lends itself to a family... style meal, so we ordered 4 items for 3 people and that was a decent quantity. Cocktails were interesting. Refreshing, but notmy favorite in terms of taste. I got the lychee cucumber one. Read more
Lovely place to have dinner at. The restaurant has a warm ambiance and the staff was very welcoming. I had the Chicken Adobo... rice bowl and the serving/taste was great for the price. The fries are also a must if you’re a fries person, I was definitelyexcited to see how big the plate was lol. Overall a nice place to go try out! Read more
This place is amazing! Popcorn chicken is our favorite. It’s crispy and flavorful. All dishes are wonderful. My husband has... nut allergy and they’re very careful with the nuts. Highly recommend this place. Read more
I enjoyed the presentation of the food and the service was great :) The BBQ skewers went well with the garlic rice in my... opinion. And the lumpia tasted delicious on its own. Personally felt that the solo dishes needed a bit more flavor though.Overall was nice to come here at least once Read more
Ordered more than quite a bit of food to try a variety. All of them were pretty disappointing except for them being plated... really well. The server … wasn’t mean but I wouldn’t say was nice either . He seemed to have not known how to cater to theelderly. Visuals and vibe was pretty awesome, trendy and cool. However for the food part… the flavors were a miss. HoweverI do say the saving grace was the dessert. The ube waffle was very good and I do recommend that. Read more
