Lovely place to have dinner at. The restaurant has a warm ambiance and the staff was very welcoming. I had the Chicken Adobo rice bowl and the serving/taste was great for the price. The fries are also a must if you’re a fries person, I was definitely excited to see how big the plate was lol. Overall a nice place to go try out!

Ordered more than quite a bit of food to try a variety. All of them were pretty disappointing except for them being plated really well. The server … wasn’t mean but I wouldn’t say was nice either . He seemed to have not known how to cater to the elderly.Visuals and vibe were very was pretty awesome, trendy and cool. However for the food part… the flavors were a miss.However I do say the saving grace was the dessert. The ube waffle was very good and I do recommend that.

Food is delicious! And staff are very courteous and friendly. Ambience is quite cozy.

Wow! Everything was so delicious!!! Staff so friendly. A great experience.

Our dining experience at Cebu was homey and welcoming. Even though the restaurant was busy, we felt like we were consistently checked on to make sure everything was up to our liking. Not pictured here but the Pork Sisig was delicious, very balanced in flavour and texture. It’s extremely fatty (as it normally is - it’s a Filipino pub grub) and filling and ordering it with a side of garlic rice isn’t a bad idea. The cebu lechon is worth sharing because of its size and, in general, the decadence of the meat itself. Taste-wise, I was extremely impressed with Cebu’s lechon and found it to be much tastier than some lechons I’ve had in the Philippines. The pork is tender, well-seasoned and aromatic, and it’s served pickled vegetables and sauces that add a sour punch to an otherwise fatty bite. Would love for the restaurant to add more pickled veg though.

Food was so yummy. If you are there Friday or Saturday Lencho is a must try. also had Bam-i (pansit)and lumpia was so good. kirina a great beer to try with Tanduay Gold Rum halo halo is delicious and best way to end a meal.

First time checking out Cebu for date night and we had a great experience. The food was great and we received top notch service. Our server was friendly and very attentive. We got to explore the menu and tried a little bit of everything. We had the lumpias, mango habanero popcorn chicken, garlic rice and gambas. Everything was delicious and the gambas were our favorite. They came with a side of rice which paired up perfectly. Excited to try their bottomless mimosas for our next visit!

We are new to the Wicker Park / Bucktown neighborhood so we are trying out all the local restaurants. We came to Cebu on a weeknight for happy hour. Service was friendly, prices were reasonable, and the food was delicious. Of all the items we tried, the burger surprised us the most. It isn’t your average burger! 10/10 we will be back.

The adobe sauce a bit too tangy and just didn’t enjoy the food as much as expected. apps may be better though

This place is amazing! Popcorn chicken is our favorite. It’s crispy and flavorful. All dishes are wonderful. My husband has nut allergy and they’re very careful with the nuts. Highly recommend this place.
