I never been to this Filipino Restaurant (Pinoy Grill). If you miss the street food in the Philippines, you can come here and try their Arroz Caldo, goto, tokwat baboy, kwek-kwek, isaw, bbq on sticks, and more.
After our Movie Event, I decided to cheer and motivate a few people to eat at this place since it's only 20mins away and on the way home.
The first thing that i noticed when i entered is this big art on the wall that stands out and an amazing instragramable background.
As a secret shopper, we always check the bathroom and i'm shocked, it has a mirror in the Men's and it's clean and lighted well, i also checked out the Female's bathroom, it's organized and decorated like it's a house.
The Fireplace was perfect during this winter, the heat from the real fire it produced warmed us and made us feel at home.
I was very surprised by this "fried siopao asado" it's delicious, it's something new and i never have seen or tasted in over 50 Filipino restaurants i have been to in Chicago. It's a must-try when you come here.
We chatted about the movie story and how it affected us and other future events while eating and it was so good that we didn't notice the time fly and finished the meal. It's a sign that enjoyed the food and we didn't have any second thought of finishing it or not, it's already gone.
in the middle of our deep conversation, a group of other Asian people came to eat and they drove from another state, i don't have their photos, cus i was eating and it's not a good practice to take photos of people eating without their consent.
PS. As Adobo Chef, i have cooked 13 types of adobo and i ordered their pork adobo to see how good it is, I'll be like Gordon Ramsey and start yelling but right after they serve the adobo, tasted the sabaw and it has unique ingredients that are stars in my taste buds. I'm not revealing it here, i want you guys to figure out what those special...
Read morePinoy Grill’s attention to detail was evident in every dish. The pork bbq was tender and tasty, the lumpia had the perfect crunch, the isaw was a savory delight; and let's not forget the delicious twist of the bangus sisig – a delightful surprise that added a modern touch to a classic favorite.
Being regulars also means we've had the chance to explore the entire menu, from the classic favorites to hidden gems. Consistency in both service and the exceptional quality of the dishes keep us coming back.
Make sure you try the balbacua (only available on the weekends and always sells out). The rich and aromatic broth and the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of the meat give a burst of comforting flavors that you didn't know you needed.
Each dish is a culinary masterpiece that transports me straight to the bustling streets of my hometown in the Philippines.
