Inihaw

I think it’s closed.
I will miss its spinning chickens.

This place is actually really good… it’s unique and the atmosphere is kinda eclectic. It’s funny because it used to be a quiznos, and the owner used to have the bldg as a franchise… he actually kept the oven and still had some of the sandwich wrap papers with the quiznos logo on it! The first time I went i got the inihaw special which was a piece of grilled chicken (very moist and flavorful) with some fried rice and some kind of pickled mango. The second time I grabbed a sub… toasted and a bit reminiscent of a quiznos sub (but better and filipino)… very good prices for what you get. I recommend you try this place if you’re ever in Chapel Hill.
also, fyi the sweet tea is good, but it has some type of spice in it and after drinking a glass I felt unusually hyper and happy.

Not a fancy place, but if you’re looking for a cheap and absolutely delicious meal this little philipino chicken place is the place to go. They basically only have one thing on the menu (Inihaw special), but in my opinion that is all they need. Definitely recommend.

I was out near Varsity Theatre and I needed to find a quick place to eat before the movie started. Inihaw caught my attention with their rotisserie chicken being grilled in their front window. They were using a fire pit which was pretty amazing considering the location. This restaurant use to be a Quiznos but the owner converted it to the Philippine restaurant that it is today. I took a chance on eating here because there were no reviews on Unilocal (gee, thanks everyone! :) I guess I get the honors of writing the first.
My initial impression of this place was that the décor was sloppy and the menu was small. I think that this may be because the restaurant opened recently (but I actually don’t know when they opened — it just seems that way). There are still remnants of Quiznos all over the restaurant — seems like the owner made a quick exit from the franchise. They still have the oven with the conveyor belt, the bread container, drink machines, etc. Not surprising, the restaurant still serves sandwiches and I think rotisserie chicken is their main ingredient. I ordered a rotisserie chicken plate with two sides and it cost a little under $ 7. The chicken was juicy and delicious and I could taste the flavor from the wood/​charcoal fire and subtle spices. I had a side of rice and shredded carrots with a ginger dressing. I was also given a little cup of hot sauce and added this to the chicken and rice. The rice was good but maybe not as flavorful as I would have liked. The carrots were a good choice.
The owner was very friendly and polite. I chatted with him briefly about the restaurant and he asked about what we thought of the food. I could honestly say that the food was good and I was pleasantly surprised. I do, however, hope that the owner «polishes» the restaurant a little more and expands the menu. If he doesn’t do this then I don’t think they will be that successful. I would recommend everyone give this restaurant a try. Order the rotisserie chicken (their specialty) for now and maybe soon they’ll add more choices.
