Chic-Boy - West Ave — Restaurant in Quezon City

Coming from a long hiatus, Chicboy is now back with an improved and modern setup. Currently with 1 branch (along Tomas Morato), Chicboy is perfectly located nearby offices and residences — with available parking at the sidewalk.

We ordered their Cebu Liempo, Chicken Inasal and Ginisang Kangkong — the go to meals that we had in their old branches. Overall it was good and nostalgic. I just find the chicken inasal quite dry on the inside. The liempo stays as it is. The kangkong is perfectly seasoned, it’s just that I find more stalk than the leaves.

The staff are accommodating and very quick to provide your needs. Serving time is around 10-15 minutes.

The place is spacious, perfect for barkada eat out. They also have a tidy toilet (and with bidet). It’ll also be good if they can add a mirror, too.

As of this writing, payment options are only...

We were so glad to discover that Chic-boy is back! We went here twice already because it felt very nostalgic and the place was homey.

I commend the service in the resto. One time, there was only one person serving the cashier + taking & bringing orders but she was on top of everything and even stayed nice.

I had to ask for soysauce because the one on the table is some sort of mix (toyo with suka? Not sure). The first time I tried it (thinking it was soysauce), I hated it. But when I made the usual toyomansi that I love, everything tasted great. Although I don't recommend the sizzling bangus because it wasn't that good.

There was a CR in the resto, plenty of parking (but almost always full), and the seating was not crowded.

All in all, we'll definitely...

Well, well, well, fashionably late to the gastronomic gala, aren’t we? 🎩✨

Despite my tardiness, Chicboy welcomed me with open arms, reminiscent of its glory days when it was the talk of the town.

Upon my tardy arrival, I beseeched the oracle of nearby eateries for sustenance, craving rice without breaking the bank.

Behold! Chicboy emerged from the culinary mist, touted as the Mang Inasal doppelgänger with a sizzling twist of Inihaw na Liempo.

So, I took the plunge, diving fork-first into their smoky sensation.

Verdict? A solid performance for the price, like catching a matinee instead of a Broadway blockbuster.

It won’t win an Oscar, but it’ll do in a pinch, and let’s face it, pinching pennies should be our national sport...
