Boonie's Filipino Restaurant

The moment we walked in, we knew we had found something special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every member of the staff made us feel like we belonged there. The food is Filipino cuisine done right, deeply connected to its heritage while presented with a modern touch that never feels forced or pretentious. Every dish was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The owners and team clearly love what they do, and it shows in every detail. Boonie's is a hidden gem in Chicago. Run, don't walk, to get a table here. We will definitely be back.

This place is great! The authentic Filipino food, friendly and attentive service, and fun atmosphere make this a must try. Everything was flavorful. I only wish the portion size was bigger on the tasty pancit.

Everything was AMAZING. Chill vibes, very very clean restaurant. Quiet and nice for chatting. Great music choice too! Food was so beautiful and uniquely designed. Spring Rolls were amazing and the sauce was fantastic. Super crispy and flakey. The garlic noodles were also fantastic. Rivaling any chinese shop garlic noodles in the area, Boonie’s definitely comes out on top. perfectly cooked. The Satti Manok was phenominal. It came with cornbread sticky rice which is so fun and delicious. The sauce was nice and balanced. The chicken and don’t skip the desert. Dip the Banana Turon in the Mango Float for the perfect ending. The mango sauce on the mango float is to DIE for. Our server was also super attentive and everything was spaced out perfectly timewise. It felt professional, but still warm and personal. Such a great night overall!

We really enjoyed the food, service and ambience. Our favorites were the sisig, adobong isda and the mango ice cream which were delicious! The cocktails were great. They have coat checks as well! Highly recommended and definitely will come back. 👌

A MUST TO VISIT. Authentic flavors. Here’s what I ordered for Brunch/Lunch. 1) Lumpiang Shanghai was authentic, with enough meat and garlic flavor. 2) Bistek Silog and Longsilog were really good. 3) Fried Chicken was very tasty. It’s not the same as Jollibee, and it shouldn’t. It’s authentic Filipino-flavored style fried chicken, and has its own individual taste. 4) I had ordered bagnet to go, so I’m assuming that’ll be amazing, too. They only have 1 dessert, which I decided not to get: Halo Halo. Not because it wouldn’t be good. Their ingredients, though included Ube jam and ice cream, were limited to macapuno and nata de coco. I like my halo halo with multiple texture, so the absence of mixed beans, kaong, etc, was the reason I didn’t get it. I know the flavor would’ve amazing, but I also wanted texture. In general, one of the best Filipino restaurant in mainland Chicago. EXCELLENT. (PS: their restrooms have a bidet, and feminine essentials for women if needed. Very well prepared.)
