Reviews for Boonie Foods in Chicago, IL
I have so many nice things to say about Boonie Foods, so this might be a long read: If I could give Boonie Foods 10 stars, I... would!!! This place is incredibly delicious and worth every penny. You expect the portion to be small because the container issmall, but you get a relatively large amount of food! The garlic fried rice was the perfect balance of garlic and spices and nottoo greasy, the tomatoes were super fresh, and the baby bangus was crispy and juicy. My only regret was I didn’t finish mymeal cause I WAS SO FULL! Joe, the chef/owner, really popped off with his creations!! My mom and I went to do tourist thingsafter eating at Boonie’s but came back to get halo-halo as a treat, and it was THE BEST halo-halo I’ve ever had includingwhen I lived in the Philippines! The ratio of all the items were perfect and it was the right amount of sweetness. Joyce, thecashier, was the sweetest person ever. She was super patient with our questions when we first ordered and took the time toexplain the offerings. She also made the halo-halo and took time to chat with us about our trip and experiences in Chicago.Truly the nicest cashier we encountered at a restaurant in Chicago! Maraming salamat sa lahat! ???? Can’t wait to eat hereagain. ???? Read more
Best food I ate in entire Chicago! Filipino food at its finest! Everything was so delicious I came back twice on my... trip! Location: It is located inside Revival food hall. It is all the way to the end so don’t lose hope. This is food courttype so there is a lot of seating. Service: Joyce is super nice and calm even there is a line. Chef Joseph is nice as well, heintroduced himself to the customers and gave me free lumpia! Food: Everything was good that I have to come back the second timeon my trip! SISIG: omg it was the best sisig I ate! I’m not sure what he put in there but the taste is so yummy! The pork hasa combination of crispiness of the skin and the softness of the meat. The amount of rice is perfect on every bite of the sisig.The egg is a great addition to compliment everything. You can order pickled papaya or tomato salad. I ordered the pickled papayacause it gives freshness and tanginess with the sisig. BAGNET PULUTAN: if you don’t want the full meal (usually with rice) youcan order pulutan. The bagnet is crispy pork belly that is fried into perfection. It was another hit because it’s still crispyeven the next day. LUMPIA: good amount of meat inside and the spring rolls are good with rice or as a snack. HALO-HALO: anotherof my favorite, I can eat two of this! Very refreshing and ubelicious! It is not that sweet which is great and the ube ice creamon top is the bomb! Price rating: 6/10, it was cheap for me. And worth every penny! Will definitely come back here when Ivisit again Chicago! It is definitely a must eat if ur visiting this city! Read more
Really enjoyed their crispy pork and chicken adobo, but prices are quite high. Would have wanted more meat for that price... range. Loved that the food came with garlic rice with crispy charred pieces, fried egg, and a side of either picked papya ortomato salad. Would definitely recommend, and it is very filling. Read more
I thought the serving sizes weren’t much so I ordered tons of food. But I’d say the servings are huge! The spring rolls are... massive! I love the liempo - the vinegar sauce is perfect! The halo-halo is a must too! I’d come back for more! Read more
We really enjoyed the fried rolls! Super yummy as well as the rest of our items.
I can't say enough great things about Boonie foods! Everything on the menu is so flavorful and special and made with love I... highly recommend the liempo/bbq pork belly. And also the halo halo (pictured) if you want something sweet and refreshing on ahot day! Also the people who work here (Joe, Joyce, Sayuri, sorry if I missed anyone!) are the nicest and are super cool. Don'tmiss out !!! Read more
Delicious!!! Don't hesitate eat here! Hot and fresh to order and served with a smile. We ordered the chicken adobo. The chicken... was hot and super tender. The marinade penetrated deep into the meet for a burst of savory flavor. It was served in a bed ofrice to collect the juices and topped with a fries egg. We had pickled papaya slaw on the side that provided a refreshing freshvinegar bite to balance the savory chicken. We got an order of lumpia... So good! It's kinda like a thin sausage egg roll servedwith a sweet sauce. Forget the other food hall options, do yourself a favor, and eat this Filipino food! Read more
The food was tasty! Not the best Filipino I've ever had, nor the best in the city, but it wasn't bad at all. Personally, I think... the flavors were muted. Prices were high for the portions, but I understand due to where it is. I like the location (inside thefood hall), and the customer service was great. The lumpia are big & the halo halo satisfied my craving, but doesn't have ALLthe fixins Read more
