Cebu Chicago

Checked out this cute place with my friends! We loved the artwork on the walls and vibe. Very nice ambience. Food was delicious. We shared the ube waffles and chicken. This is my favorite and will go back just for this! Waffle was cooked perfectly and tasted sweet and the chicken had a nice crunch and flavor that paired well with the ube waffle. Perfect sweet and salty snack.The drinks we ordered were ube latte, cebu sunset, and pandan drink. They were so colorful and tasty. It took me back to when I visited the Philippines and they served you a fresh glass of calamansi juice. For my meal I ordered the lechon kawali. This came with your choice of eggs, deep fried pork belly, garlic fried rice, and small tomato salad. The pork belly was cooked perfect and the serving was generous. Can't wait to go back and try the burrito and short ribs!

Truly a new gem recently added to the Lincoln Corridor! We came here for breakfast / brunch and were delighted by Cebu. The restaurant is a Philipino menu with a lovely and well decorated dining area with a coffee / alcohol bar on the side. It looks like they offer both sit down and to go ordering (from the cafe bar).The service was friendly and the restaurant was spotlessly clean.I tried an ube latte and a sausage and egg dish. Both were very good with a sweet and savory balance.A great option for a fun and different brunch!

Sorry Filipina Tita here. It was ok. Maybe because I was still reminiscing the old Cebu in Wicker. My longgonisa came out a little raw but our server graciously cooked it up for us. The ube waffles were tasty but teeny portions for $12. You might as well order the chicken and waffles for $14. The lechon kawali was chewy instead of crispy. The best we had was the tapsilog which was juicy, tasty and perfect. Pastries: enzaymada was good but the pandesal with corned beef was dry. Overall, mostly tasty yet small portions on the pricey side but hey it's Lakeview and the place is nice so you have to break even! I think if you want this location to succeed, maybe give out perks like complimentary lugaw (it's cheap cos it's boiled rice in broth) or pandesal (literally flour, water and salt). Will come again cos we need to support Filipino business y'all!

Pretty good. 4 ladies came for lunch. We tried the calamari and lumpia. Great to share. We shared the tres leches French toast which I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't overly sweet as I had expected. The short rib ways favorite- the marinade was smelled delicious and meat was tender. The breakfast chicken fine too. Some of us liked the chicken more since the short rib was a tad salty. So definitely like there non alcoholic drinks...the dark purple drink with ube and coconut was very yummy.

Bright & airy, this is a fun stop to grab an ice cold ube latte on a hot summer day. Will return with girlfriends to try the brunch menu which appeared to be abbreviated during the soft opening. So excited to welcome Cebu to the West Lakeview neighborhood!

Had brunch at Cebu this morning. The food, and the space was fantastic. We had some sweet and someSavory items and everyone was happy. The service was a little spotty when it came to food coming out, but that's to be expected at a new restaurant and everyone was extremely polite and professional. I look forward to going back soon, especially when they open up for dinner

I am in love with this place, the vibe, the service, the food. Everything is top tier and such an amazing restaurant in general. I love their ube latte (I got it with oat milk) as well as their Milo French toast and don't even get me started on their pastries. I can't wait for them to open up for dinner and I will definitely be coming back and will be bringing my friends along with me.

Went for breakfast service. I want to start off by saying service was understaffed. It felt like there were only two waiters in the whole room but like three hosts??? Which was weird and whenever I asked the host for something they looked bamboozled and would run to the already overworked waiters. The service and the way it was run just felt unorganized. We had a thirty minute wait and could tell they weren't turning over food very quickly which should've been our first indicator. I understand being a new restaurant but I don't understand not expecting a rush on Sunday brunch. We spent around a total of an hour and a half waiting and then ordering then eating. The lumpia was very fresh and tolerable. We ordered the chef speciality (limited availability) . It was 38 dollars for five pieces of pork which was flavorful but very fatty and a bit underwhelming. My brother ordered chicken which was 22 dollars and it came with rice but something almost double the price didn't come with rice. . Now talking about presentation; we could tell the kitchen was rushed. Everything looked like it was thrown on the plates which is fine but it made for a greasy mess. Everyone at our table felt like the food was very oily and greasy. Service was trying their best.

Beautiful space, awesome vibes! A unique brunch spot in an area that is littered with so many brunch options. The waitstaff is friendly and welcoming towards families. They were attentive even though it was very busy. The ube latte with a shot of espresso is perfect and not too sweet. I dined with friends who weren't familiar with Filipino food, they raved about the lumpia and soy calamansi popcorn chicken. We ordered a 2nd round of both! I highly recommend checking out the baked goods by the to-go coffee counter. Get the matcha cookie and ube pandesal, you will be HOOKED. Everything from food to decor is so instagram worthy! I can't wait to try their dinner once they expand their hours!

I recently dined here and ordered the Cebu lechon, and I was blown away by the experience. The lechon was absolutely crispy, flavorful skin with tender, succulent meat that melted in my mouth. The seasoning was perfectly balanced, highlighting the rich flavors that Cebu advertises.But the food wasn't the only highlight of my visit. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the entire staff worked seamlessly to create a dining experience that felt special and memorable. I can't recommend Cebu enough--it's a must-visit for anyone who loves Filipino food or is looking to try something new. I'll definitely be returning soon!
