Chicken Ati-Atihan

For a first timer, Customer service is really bad. Nothing on their site that u need to pre order before U go to their restaurant. Waited and waited… People they know served better. Walked out…

30 min wait for food but its worth the wait because the food were soo good! Freshly made!

This is the closest you can get to a cebuano (CEBU) dish.
The seasoned meat has the exact proportion of saltiness and sweetness = 2 predominant component.
We ordered the chicken atiatihan, it’s juicy and flavourful yet it’s doesn’t take away the chicken goodness, my wife believes it’s the best she got, knowing she is from Bacolod where the whole idea of chicken atiatihan (I nasal). There were few similar restaurant that we already went, but this is the «real deal».
I ordered the pork barbecue and the cebuano adobo also known as KAWALI in their MENU. It’s THE BEST!
Do not expect dine dinning treatment because THIS IS NOT!
The place is very cozy and the WASHROOM! It’s way much better than others, close to a 3 star hotel.
The best CEBUANO RESTAURANT in Chicago.

Tried this place for the first time today for lunch. There were 3 tables occupied when we got there, the place is clean and nice. There were pictures of their food specialties on one side of the wall and pictures of Ati Atihan festival participants on the other side of the wall. My kids and I ordered the Ati atihan chicken, sizzling pork sisig, and garlic rice. The chicken was ok, it was a little salty for me. Nothing extraodinary with the taste though. The sizzling sisig was really salty as well (even my kids said so). I’m not sure how people from thw other region prepare and cook their sisig, but from how I know what they’re supposed to taste and look like whenever I’ve eaten sisig back home in Manila, the pork is supposed to be crunchy and there shouldn’t be any sauce. We usually squeeze calamansi (lime) before mixing everything on the sizzling plate. The garlic rice was pretty good though. My son then ordered Halo halo for dessert and my daughter had Mango Freeze. Both of them were too sweet, especially the Mango Freeze. The service was nice and friendly. It takes a while foe the food to come because they cook everything as you order which is one thing I liked about the place. It wasn’t bad food nor bad experience because our food were prepared fresh and the taste was okay but I don’t think I will be going back to this restaurant everytime I crave for Filipino food:)

Food here hits the spot and authentic. This is not our first time here and this place never dissapoints us. The service is good and they are pretty attentive. I’m just surprised with all the negative comments here because I have a completely different experience. One of my favorite places whenever we’re here in this area. Definitely would come back and recommend.

First time trying this place out. Went with my husband. This is the best tasting chicken I have so far. Brings me back home. We had the chicken breast and its tender and juicy. I enjoyed it so much I ate with my hands. Try their turon for dessert too. We even ordered more to take home.

First time eating here and it was horrible. The waitress didn’t bring us our drinks until about 10 minutes afterwards and when she did, she only gave us one cup with ice even though we had a party of 6. Whenever we wanted to get the waiters attention, she acted like she didn’t hear us. In regards to the food, it wasn’t that good either. The chicken was too sweet and their portions of rice were too small. Overall, our dining experience wasn’t the best and I doubt we will be coming back.

The chop-​suey and the pancit are so spicy. I have never eaten a pork sisig that has been sweetened. The lumpia is not that good either so don’t even bother ordering that if you will try to eat there. Be careful with the chairs, they are so flimsy. Find someplace to eat.

First time to came here with my family. We came here to eat for dinner. We ordered chicken ati Atihan, garlic rice, and pork sisig and of course bottle water and soda. The batchuy lady brought our chicken, garlic rice and pork sisig in our table… And I was like oh my god…$ 8 for that chicken!!! Small Chicken so so dry… We didn’t got the rice and pickled papaya. I thought the chicken includes with rice and pickled papaya. The food is not enough. It just like rip off. I Loosed appetite during dinner. We paid $ 45 for dinner. I WOULD PREFER JOY YEES RESTAURANT!
This building should be shutdown!!! VERY VERY VERY HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! FRAUD!!! FRAUD!!! I WOULD NOT NOT NOT RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!!!

Love this place, brings me comfort when I miss my home ‚) in Southern Philippines!!!

Service is not good. We’ve waited almost 40mins for the food… their signature chicken is garbage. definitely not coming back anymore

Simply flavored bbq chicken which is their signature dish is definitely a must when you go there. Ati-​buko-​halo is also a fantastic dessert which is fairly large for one person to eat.
Had Lo Mein which was good and a veggie curry like dish that was ok. Definitely want to go back for more and trying their other signature dish — stuffed squid.

We ordered chicken bbq and beef steak. The chicken is good but not something you will crave for. The beef steak is not that good. It taste different from the usual Filipino bistek. Service is so slow so don’t come here hungry.

It’s best to call ahead to order the Chicken BBQ because it takes a while for it to cook, but the Chicken BBQ is amazing and juicy. Full of flavor. The chicken sisig was not that special, but the pork sisig was very delicious. Great for Authentic Filipino Cuisine.
