Boonie’s is sooo incredible! We visited for lunch and tried the Bangsilog (milkfish) and Mushroom silog rice plates, along with a special pork appetizer. All dishes left us utterly amazed—the garlic rice and milkfish were well flavored, and the mushroom was perfectly crispy and fragrant. To cap off the meal, we had the Halo Halo for dessert, which was a decadent and delightful treat. The restaurant has a lovely and upscale design with a modern flair. The service was very efficient and incredibly friendly. We're excited to return in the near future to explore more of their menu offerings, especially their dinner selection. Update: We returned to explore their dinner menu! The Sizzling Sisig stood out with its incredibly flavorful pork pieces. Another highlight was the Piaparan, featuring tender Lion’s Mane mushrooms and well-layered spices. The chicken Inasal was decent, but I found the Liempo's BBQ sauce a bit too strong for my taste. Between the two offerings, I must admit that I preferred the lunch menu, both for its value and the dishes offered, though both menus provide a wide range of unique Filipino flavors and were both highly enjoyable.

We were so so so surprised with how amazing our experience was here! The food was above and beyond in terms of quality and taste... And the small touches were the best - they gave a signed birthday card after finding out it was a birthday... And after we paid the server she dropped off yellow kiwi pieces and we never heard of yellow kiwi before. Overall a fun place for dinner! Kain tayo!

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 of rice to collect the juices and topped with a fries egg. We had pickled papaya slaw on the side that provided a refreshing fresh vinegar bite to balance the savory chicken. We got an order of lumpia... So good! It's kinda like a thin sausage egg roll served with a sweet sauce. Forget the other food hall options, do yourself a favor, and eat this Filipino food!

I have heard much about Boonies, especially how the restaurant is run, not like the typical Filipino way. It was immediately evident that they were open when they say they are and was asked if there was any food allergies or restrictions. Nice touch! The space is very modern, warm and inviting, HUGE plus if you want to attract more than the filipino crowd. This place is a solid 4.4 stars for their lunch menu. I have been to many of these restaurants so I feel I know what I like and what to look for. Starting with the lumpia(ng) Shanghai; it was very tasty albeit slightly oily than others I have had. Also, size kinda matters and was a bit shorter than usual. For the silog, had the tapa and the tocino with garlic rice and and sunny-side up egg. Again very good, however, if garlic is not your thing, this was roasted garlic heavy, which I don’t mind. The ratio though of protein (ulam) to rice was a bit underwhelming. Lastly, pricing is a bit steep, but I guess in order to be in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, this is acceptable. I still enjoyed the visit!!

Cute place w good Filipino food. Nice atmosphere. I love garlic rice. Plus they make Turón! It’s sweet plantains with brown sugar and wrap … all deep fried. It’s very hard to find Turón sold or made anywhere. It’s a great yummy dessert esp w vanilla ice cream. The place was bustling w people and busy with parties and gatherings. It’s lively and happening.

One of the best restaurants experiences in a while. The chill atmosphere was a pleasant surprise. All the food was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The dessert is a most, I recommend both. You cannot go wrong with the eggplant and any pork dish. Parking was easy and everything was responsibly priced and high quality.

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!

Food is amazing, a great integration of modern tastes with traditional filipino food. Atmosphere was chill and calming. Mike was an amazing server. Definitely recommend!

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 the food hall), and the customer service was great. The lumpia are big & the halo halo satisfied my craving, but doesn't have ALL the fixins

We really enjoyed the fried rolls! Super yummy as well as the rest of our items.

Our Saturday night dinner at Boonie's was great all around. We tried this restaurant for the first time and as soon as we got there we were seated (arrived a little early for our reservation). Service was quick and helpful, and the restaurant itself looks very nice inside. Their food is delicious. We picked 4 plates for two people and were stuffed by the end. I highly recommend the Lumpiang and the Sizzling Sisig. For vegetarians I highly recommend the pancit canton. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back!

Came to this place for dinner and was very impressed. All the starters (sushi, pancit, and lumpia) didn’t make the pics bc we devoured it immediately. As a Filipino (born and raised), this is what I expect from a Filipino restaurant - tasty & elevated, while staying true to traditional Filipino dishes. Chef said hi to us after the meal was very cool very nice - good vibes only. I wish I brought my camera to take pics of all the fire food we had. Def coming back for lunch and dinner. FYI- place is BYOB.

Tried this place as I was in the mood for something I’ve never tried before. So glad I did!! I had no idea what to order as I’ve never had Filipino food but the host was so nice and recommended a few different dishes. I ended up going with the Sisig as it literally says best thing you’re ever gonna eat so why not? This was an extremely flavorful pork dish that had so much to love. The textures, the flavor of the sauce and the perfectly cooked egg was so good together. I usually don’t like rice too much but this rice so amazing even on its own! The portion size is great definitely enough for two meals and the pickled papaya was refreshing. It almost tastes like a sweeter version of sauerkraut? Idk take that description with a grain of salt. Anyways, love it and will be coming back to try more!

Absolutely loved this place! Heard this was their newer location, didn’t have a chance to try them prior to this! Loved seeing Filipino food served in this elegant atmosphere. The bistek tasted SO sweet and delicious, would come back just for that! Great service and BYOB! Perfect place for a date night or dinner with friends!

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 or tomato salad. Would definitely recommend, and it is very filling.

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 court type 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, he introduced himself to the customers and gave me free lumpia! Food: Everything was good that I have to come back the second time on 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 has a 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 papaya cause it gives freshness and tanginess with the sisig. BAGNET PULUTAN: if you don’t want the full meal (usually with rice) you can order pulutan. The bagnet is crispy pork belly that is fried into perfection. It was another hit because it’s still crispy even the next day. LUMPIA: good amount of meat inside and the spring rolls are good with rice or as a snack. HALO-HALO: another of my favorite, I can eat two of this! Very refreshing and ubelicious! It is not that sweet which is great and the ube ice cream on top is the bomb! Price rating: 6/10, it was cheap for me. And worth every penny! Will definitely come back here when I visit again Chicago! It is definitely a must eat if ur visiting this city!

Dangerously delicious Filipino fare. Chef Joe has perfected Filipino takeout food with really strong, punchy flavors. The garlic rice and runny egg served with every fried rice plate is as critical to the experience as the main entrée and sides. If you’re not sure where to start, your best bets are the extremely hearty bagnet (crispy pork), sisig (crispy sizzling pork), or beef tapa (beef steak, as pictured). Throw in a side of the tomato salad or mac salad (Filipino mac n’ cheese) and you’re golden. Feeling feisty? Throw in some lumpia too because…why not? Needless to say, don’t miss out. Give it a try — you will fall in love. I certainly did!

Let me start with saying I’m glad I gave this place a try and I think you should too. Now, the restaurant! The lunch was good but underwhelming. I got the bangsilog and my husband got the tocilog. I LOVE vinegar and garlic and these two dishes might have had too much (insane, I know). There was also a heap load of rice but I only got a few bites of fish from my portion. The lumpia was also just okay! I hope to go back for dinner and try that menu.

Came here for lunch! We got Tapsilog (Marinated Ribeye) and Tocilog (Pork Belly). They were both very tasty. I love the garlic rice, I don’t usually eat rice that much, but this garlic rice is addictive. I can still eat it even after I finish my pork belly. The pork belly is good and tasty, though just little overcooked. Overall, it’s great but I’ve tried better Silog. Garlic rice is 10/10 though but Pork belly could be better 7/10. Also, I like my food hot, but when they served mine, it was just warm and with the winter weather.. it got cold so quickly. We also got the Halo Halo desserts. It was good but not special. They also had the pop up coffee when we were there, it was okay. Maybe will give a second chance and try their dinner menu.

Really good Filipino place. We tried it for the first time last week with some friends. We tried the spring rolls, short ribs, the eggplant and a fish special of the day. Everything was excellent. Even the dessert were delicious. It is BYOB that makes this place even better

Smart, soulful menu combining classics with slightly more regional selections that you don't see at every Filipinx restuarant. Flavors, ingredients, and preparations were balanced and worldly without yielding to assimilation or "fusion." Really nice work - will be back.

Food was great and you get a lot. The halo halo is made with ube ice cream and isn't too sweet. Definitely coming back.

Absolutely outstanding fried rice. Had the coconut milk shrimp, which were cooked perfectly.

Boonie foods is now one of my favorite place to go. The food, the people, the atmosphere , everything was perfect. If you want to try some good Filipino food this is def the place to go! Food is perfectly cooked with such delicious flavors~ I find myself constantly craving for their foods. Recommended place for sure!

Great take on filipino classics. We went for dinner and I like how the portions are tapas style, perfect for sharing and tasting. The place is nice, intimate and cozy. I’d go back and try them for breakfast/lunch

First time here and we enjoyed everything we had. So much so that we are already planning on going back to try the dinner menu next!

We went for brunch. It did not disappoint. Growing up with these meals, Boonies served my taste buds with my child hood flavors and then some. My partner enjoyed the tocilog (pork shoulder) while I had the bansilog (milkfish). We plan to be back! Food came out fast and service was attentive. Water glasses always full. Thank you!

I recently had the chance to visit this restaurant, where we sampled six different dishes, all of which were incredibly delicious. The servings follow a tapas-style concept, so I'd suggest ordering a variety of dishes. The service was excellent, and I'd highly recommend making a reservation, particularly because they've earned a spot on the Michelin Gourmand list. I'll have to return to give the lunch menu a try. Here’s a list of my favorite dishes. 1. Sizzling Sisig 2. Chicken Inasal 3. Pancit Canton 4. Bistek 5. Lumpia 6. Liempo

Amazing, delicious food and great service! We tried the Sisig tacos and Vigin longanisa. Soooo freakin good! Some of their meals come with garlic rice and pickles which are great sides with the meats. Also, got a side of the Mac salad (we were hungry haha) and loved it too! The chef also gave us a slice of lemon blueberry Bundt cake that was his grandmother’s recipe and you can truly taste the love in it :) I don’t know if it was a seasonal thing, but they should have it on their menu forever! The flavors were complex yet balanced well and you can tell the chef is formally trained, but the dishes are unpretentious, comforting and just plain GOOD

Delicious, delicious food! Eat while it's nice and warm. Great vibe and atmosphere on top of it all. BYOB with $3 corkage fee.

When I first wanted to check this place out I thought it’s a food court thing from the pictures, I guess they newly renovated into a warm cozy contemporary place. Service were quite nice, our waitress was friendly and informative. The pork on the ramen was kind of dry and plain, lack of that meaty fatty gamey pork flavor. And maybe the adobong baboy was authentic, but I’m not used to the exotic flavor. The sizzling sisig was the better one, but still had a little bit weird undertone. I really hope we would enjoyed the food more, and I’m not a filipino food expert.

Just had the best lunch from here! The spicy coconut shrimp was incredibly delicious, I highly recommend and will be back!

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 is small, but you get a relatively large amount of food! The garlic fried rice was the perfect balance of garlic and spices and not too greasy, the tomatoes were super fresh, and the baby bangus was crispy and juicy. My only regret was I didn’t finish my meal cause I WAS SO FULL! Joe, the chef/owner, really popped off with his creations!! My mom and I went to do tourist things after 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 including when I lived in the Philippines! The ratio of all the items were perfect and it was the right amount of sweetness. Joyce, the cashier, was the sweetest person ever. She was super patient with our questions when we first ordered and took the time to explain 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 here again. 😋

Place is nice and cozy! I like the pork sisig. Ambience is good. They could have improve the taste of pork adobo since the last time i ate its more of a pepper in it and i cant taste anything except of pepper.

Here's what you need to know: Absolute fantastic new restaurant with incredible food and amazing service. Just perfection! We ordered the entire menu and four dishes truly are a must for all diners - the bistek short ribs, the talong Chinese eggplant and the 2 desserts eaten together. OMG I will have visions and dreams about those. The lumpia and pork belly Ulam were absolutely outstanding too and I would highly recommend them. Our bill was $135 for a family of 4 with the food and 2 soft drinks - 2 adults and 2 kids

The restaurant has a dark, warm, atmosphere, looks newly remodeled. Our favorite food was the lumpiang. The garlic sausage came with a really good spicy sauce that made it the best meat we had. I did not like the Adobong Baboy because it was overly fatty and I don’t like pork skin when it’s not crispy. I also found the sizzling sisig to fatty. The Bistek was just ok, the meat was tough, but good flavor. The prawns had good flavor but we could not get the meat out of the shell it was served in, very tough to eat.

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 a hot day! Also the people who work here (Joe, Joyce, Sayuri, sorry if I missed anyone!) are the nicest and are super cool. Don't miss out !!!

I was very excited to try out Bonnie’s but we left rather disappointed. We went during lunch time and ordered lumpia, coconut butter shrimp silog and marinated ribeye silog. Lumpia was mid, crispy shell but filling was just meat, lack veggies which could have help with the saltiness. For silogs, the garlic rice taste pretty good but there are burnt garlic pieces that gave a bitter taste. The fried egg didn’t come with any seasoning and the egg white was still clear, maybe it could have been avoided if the server ask us how we would like our eggs. Marinated ribeye was mid, not as juicy as hope. The shrimp was juicy but the sauce is mediocre, I expected it to be more creamy and coconut-y. We also got a drink named Gina juice that we thought was house made but it was actually a can beverage, I wish it was indicated in the menu. Overall, we wouldn’t come back because for the price, it wasn’t worth it.
