Chibog — Restaurant in Daly City

When in Daly City, one must find good Filipino food. That should be an axiom for Bay area living.

So I found myself at this spot. I was quite thrilled with the experience. Lots of places serve mom and pop Filipino food, but this place was legit.

I had to go with the lechon, mostly because it had been a long time. But also it wasn't too fatty. Yeah there was some fat. It's lechon after all. But they served it with eggs and the sauce and all the fixin's. What I really wanted was Sisig, but they didn't have it as a lunch plate. Gives me excuse to come back.

Anyway, the lechon comes out hot and crispy, in nice bite size pieces. For me the eggs were a little overcooked as I like them medium to run on the rice. But I didn't specify that, so that's my bad. I asked for some banana sauce, and thoroughly enjoyed.

They also had calamansi which is sometimes hard to get. That was an added bonus for my perspective. They had what I wanted, and what a good Filipino restaurant should have.

Kudos. I'll go again. BTW there was enough for take home. Basically I got two meals from it. I'm...

So my brother Jim, brings my LW, myself, and my other brother here. First time for us, and being in the South City area, and nearby Daly City, there are more than a few Filipino restaurants to choose from. So this place must be good if we end up here right? And boy is it. Wedged into a tiny strip mall, that you might pass by a few times before you actually find it. To say the restaurant is small in an understatement, and evidently always packed. My old man (RIP) always contended that whatever ethnic restaurant you might visit, look in and if the place isn't filled with that particular ethnicity, Run, quickly. But seriously, there was a healthy majority of Pinoys there and a good mix all enjoying the fare. So, on to the actual food. Since I compare every Filipino restaurant cooking to my Lola, my Mom, and all my Aunts, they are at a slight disadvantage. We tried the "standards", chicken adobo, calderreta, Sinigang, Machado, and longanisa. All were very good, tasted as they should, especially the Sinigang. Will I go back? OH YES, still have tho try their pinakbet, kare kare,...

Came on a Sunday for late lunch. My partner and I love this place. We waited about 20 mins to be seated because it is a small space and it was pretty busy.

We ordered : Pork Sinigang Beef Short Rib Sinigang Sizzling Pork Sisig Longanisa Silog 2 orders of Rice

This was a lot of food for 2 people. But we like to bring some leftovers home and warm it up later at night for dinner. They provide nice and sturdy containers for soup.

One thing that I love about this restaurant is how they serve the food. They present the sinigang in a big bowl with a ladle. They also provide small bowls to pour the soup and to share the soup also.

Naturally the food is always so good and the servers are all around pleasant. They checkin on you every once in a while to see if everything is okay.

I highly recommend this place for perhaps a lunch date or just lunch with friends. Most of the items are served in sharing bowls and plates. It’s a great atmosphere. There is also lots of...
