Cid's Ma Mon Luk

This is my first time trying Cid's Ma Mon Luk and I think it's pretty decent! I like that you can call and order ahead for dine in, most restaurants don't do that so it's nice that they were able to prepare our food before we came in. The lady that works at the front desk was super friendly and nice. We ordered three items:Lumpiang Shanghai (Filipino egg roll)Sinigang Baboy (Sour Soup with Pork Crispy Pata (Fried Pig Trotters)The lumpiang shanghai was alright (nothing too crazy), their sinigang was sour and delicious which is just the way I like it! Their crispy pata was extra crispy and tender which I loved.This place is a very small restaurant so make sure you call ahead if you're coming in with more than four people to make sure they can accommodate to your group size.

While out running errands, we decided to stop by this Filipino restaurant as it was tucked away in a strip mall that was pretty bare. Once we walked in, you can certainly tell that it's a mole and pop restaurant. We waited for about 10 minutes before anyone greeted us despite walking in and out of the kitchen and making eye contact with us. After a while we just peeped our head in and asked if we could sit anywhere. One of the mom's or grandma's helped us order and brought out our foods pretty quickly. We ordered a bit of a few items so that we could take it home for dinner the next day. We ordered the sisig - which is seared pork belly with an egg, sinigang which I tend to describe as a sweet and sour soup, and pork adobo. We also decided to try the specialty siopao of which they were selling like hot cakes while we were there. The sisig ended up being my husband's favorite but what won my heart was the sinigang. I'm used to eating it with a lot more veggies, and orka.. but the flavors were incredible plus the soup on a cold day was just what was needed. The pork adobo was a bit salty, and the siopao was a bit underdone. The flavors were great but nothing that I would go out of my way to order. All in all, when in the area I'd love to come back and enjoy the food. :)

This is a special place that screams delicious in every bite. We started with a Hot plate of sizzling sisig. The Fried rice is a must to compliment all the meat you will order. Order a variety of items to give yourself options to enjoy the next day. The service is great and as soon the food started to come it all came in a well timed manor to give us a chance to have a first taste of the food. Altogether a great experience and happy to come back as soon as possible.

Stopped in for a quick lunch while running errands. It's a small hole in a wall that I didn't know existed until I heard they sold the creme nd crumbs sylvanas. I figured I could pick some up while here and grab some lunch. Unfortunately there were no sylvanas when I went but stayed anyway to have some lunch. They had a lot of options to choose from but eventually settled on some basic staples. I got the lomi with combination meats, chicharron bulaklak as an appetizer, chicken adobo and a siopao special. The lomi was thick and hearty. I felt like I was barely putting a dent in it. My brother ended up polishing the entire chicken adobo and a bowl of rice by himself so I assume it was enjoyable. The chicharron bulaklak was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce helped make it not so fatty. We were getting full by the time we got to the siopao so we ended up splitting it and it was delicious.

Awesome sisig ! They got the authentic pork cheek with egg! Very simple, down to earth Filipino dish but so tasty. Nothing pretentious on this place . This resto reminds me of the regular carinderia back home . Honest to goodness filipino cuisine , delish just like what Mom and grandma used to cook back home.

We decided to try this place given the good reviews. We ordered house pancit , lechon ,daing bangus , and wonton shrimp soup. After reading many good reviews and seeing photos of all the good food I felt confident it would be delicious. Boy was I wrong . First of all , the pancit was not what I expected. Despite looking very flavorful it was lacking in taste. Very blah and bland. It looked like it was soaking in an oil bath. The lechon serving was on this tiny oblong plate serving enough for 1. I could not believe that it was tasteless. Not even a hint of salt! The only food worth even eating was the soup because it actually tasted like it was seasoned. After asking the man who worked there to wrap it up, he said oh you didn't eat anything. I thought of course not because it didn't taste good . Service wasn't good. When I first got there , I asked if they had a to-go menu to take back home with me and the lady just looked at me with an expression on her face of "of course not and said just take a picture of the menu here " . What restaurant does that?

First time trying this place and will probably be my last. Ordered pancit and lumpia. The pancit was a tad bit salty and the lumpia tasted like regular frozen ones, nothing special. The pancit had a mix of different noodles but you do however get a large portion of food which is why I gave two stars and the staff here is super friendly.

The quality and taste of the food would vary a little bit through the years. Meaning sometimes it is passable. Other times it is good. The ambiance has stayed the same for a long time. Not a lot of improvement at all except for some repainting done a few years back. It is not a place to entertain people you are trying to impress. The service has definitely gone down a lot. It has something to do with lenght of time you have to wait for the food to come out. I have seen and experienced it where you are already done eating and then the rest of what you ordered shows up. Name a restaurant that we know of where that is acceptable. Sometimes a delay is ok. But not to the point where you are done eating. I will avoid this place for that reason.

I was there today . Very expensive. I have to pay $9.25 for small portions of lechon kawali , its even placed on small styrofoam containers . The crispy binagoongan for $9.96 which is made from toasted chicharon mixed w/ uncooked shrimp paste & mango...not the correct recipe for that kind of dish. The siopao is $2.25/piece very small for that price. Might as well go to seafood city for siopao. I am very disappointed, I should have given them no star but the old lady whose helping us is very nice so I'm giving them 2 stars . Even the place looks dirty, I'm so sorry whoever the owner of this place they need to close the place or improve it. The place is Nile's il.

The food was really delicious! We ordered some pancit and sisig. If you're around the area, I highly recommend this place. The lady serving us was really nice. Will comeback again!
