Chibog

When it comes to Filipino food, chibog is my go-to spot. When I have friends who've never had Filipino food, this is where I go. It's solid, tasty, and big portions.Chibog has my favorite pork sisig, it's a good mix of crispy and soft pieces. The crispy short ribs, unmatched, especially with the soy sauce/vinegar sauce, chefs kiss. On my latest visit I stopped in for a quick lunch. I got the lechon kawali silog. It came with a generous serving of deep fried pork belly, hefty mound of garlic rice, and two over easy eggs. For $22 after tax and tip, it's well worth every penny. The staff here is so nice, and treats you like family. It's a smaller restaurant so there can be a wait, but during lunch time it's usually easy to snag a table. Long story short, if you are craving Filipino food, this is a spot worth checking out

I was pretty disappointed with my last visit to this place. To sum it up, it's service without a smile, and that's to put it kindly. As for the food, it really is just middle of the pack. I've had quite better tasting Filipino food around the South Bay and Easy Bay. I visited Chibog because of its feature on KQED. I was really hoping that Chibog was one of those hole in the wall hidden gems I would enjoy exploring, but I'm quite disappointed. We had the Lechon Kewali, Dinuguan, BBQ Chicken (ala carte), and the Halo Halo w/ Ube Ice Cream. Lechon Kewali was okay, but the rest felt like they missed the mark. The Lechon Kewali was comparable to other places I've visited. The Dinuguan just wasn't "rich", nor was it "chunky" with the good meaty, fatty, rich parts. It felt lacking and with too much vinegar. The BBQ Chicken was completely disappointing because of the amount of burnt-ness on the chicken, making large portions of it uneatable. This was very disappointing. The Halo Halo felt fine. It wasn't special. Small location with a small private lot for parking shared with other establishments. Chibog gets good traffic, so it gets busy--good for them. But there are other places that serve better tasting Filipino food at more affordable prices, but you may have to come to the South Bay (Pinot BBQ ATBP) or East Bay (Toppings Too) for them. I know we didn't try the Sisig, but nothing about Chibog would make us want to return even if we were in the area again.

The place is small and has no ventilation. Sometimes the place can be stuffy and clothes end up smelling like food once coming out. Their sisig is my favorite and coming back from out of state this is the first thing i crave. The staff has always been welcoming and very friendly.

Came here on a Wednesday evening for an early dinner; had to be early since they close at 6pm. Place is clean and spacious, nothing fancy. Service is quick and decent. Portions are large. I don't know if it was authentic or not but everything was quite yummy. The fried pork belly was crisp, juicy and meaty. The garlic rice was flaky and had just the perfect amount of garlic and seasoning. It was so good and one could eat it with nothing else and still be happy. The green beans with kalabasa had a creamy coconut sauce that was delicious. The sizzling sisig was fried perfectly. We enjoyed everything. We will be back and do recommend.

Filipino cuisine [Daly City CA]We decided to dine here while we were in the area. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday evening at peak meal time and we were seated right away. The restaurant is small and cozy.Hubby was hankering for some soup dish which is perfect comfort food especially on a rainy day. We ordered the Beef Bulalo (menu description: tender beef bone-in shanks with assorted veggies). We ordered garlic rice with it. The soup came in a huge bowl and looked appetizing. The sad part... the meat was not nearly "tender" and the bone had hardly any bone marrow in it. The veggies was baby bokchoy which was not a generous amount in the soup. The soup was tasty though and good with the rice. We ordered halo-halo with my choice of Mango ice-cream on top (not Ube) and that was delicious! Customer service was great... love the Filipino hospitality. "Chibog" in Tagalog means "eating time."One gender neutral bathroom and they need to check it often and clean it. Review #3636

Ordered the bistek silog and pork bbq a la carte this past Friday around dinner time. Was quoted a 20 minute wait for takeout, but it was ready in just 10 minutes. These dishes had decent portion sizes, good for 2-3 meals. Lots of flavor too, the bistek a tad salty and could have used a little more onions, but it was still quite tasty, and the pork bbq somewhat sweet and smoky, with tender meat, which I enjoyed. The restaurant interior was simple, nothing particularly inviting about it, but offering a good amount of tables and seating for a casual dine-in experience. Also, friendly service and ample parking out front.

A very established Filipino spot that always satisfies when I'm hankering for a teslogs, or noodles, maybe a pork dish, definitely a bbq stick or two, etc, etc, etc. Service is prompt and friendly and helpful. I overheard our waiter help the table behind me with what dishes on the menu were good introductions to the cuisine. And as for the ambiance, much like the food, it's no nonsense comfort and cozy.

Wow oh wow. The best Filipino food we've ever had all at one place. We're from San Diego and sure, we've tasted good Filipino food but never all of our favorite dishes from one place.-Pancit palabok -Oxtail Kare kare -Sinigang - bangus belly-Sizzling sisig -Garlic RiceI am usually not a fan of kare kare. It's either too peanuty or too thick/runny. It's just perfect consistency and taste great here. The sisig is also crispy and not too salty. The sinigang had so much fish. Everything was delicious and food came out fast.

This place is always filled with people no matter what time of day I go. Most recently, I ordered to-go on a Sunday evening. After 40 minutes, I was able to pick up in my order in the packed restaurant with seating for around 30. The setting of the restaurant allows for the focus to be on family and friends; there are no major decorations or fancy seating.I ordered the Fried Lumpia and Pork BBQ Silog this time. Trying the Fried Lumpia for the first time, I enjoyed the crispiness and texture of the lumpia. The silogs are always so flavorful, and I am unable to finish one in one sitting (possibly due to its grease, but delicious nonetheless).It's hard to find good Filipino food in San Francisco. When I have the craving, I have to make my way to Chibog in Daly City to satisfy it, and it truly satifies my craving every time.

Oh man, I was craving Filipino food and was meeting a friend over the bridge so decided to check out Chibog located in Daly City. I am Filipino so every time I go to a restaurant like this, I'm going to be critical. Upon walking in, you are hit with the aroma of Filipino food and there were so many people in the restaurant. This is always a good sign but wow it was so hot. So this is a rare occurrence in Daly City as it is mostly foggy and cool weather. Well, we happened to go during a heatwave so that's on us. Granted, the restaurant did have a huge fan going and left the doors open so that made it a bit tolerable.I was mostly craving silog which is a dish of meat, rice and egg. We ended up ordering Bangsilog (fried fish), Tosilog (sweet grilled pork) and Lechon. It did not disappoint. I definitely got my fix and I would give everything a 4/5. The Lechon was good but the skin wasn't that crispy which I was a bit disappointed in.Service was excellent as Tito (uncle in Tagalog) kept coming around with a big smile asking if we needed anything else or would fill up our waters. I am kicking myself for not ordering halo halo when he recommended it. It would have been a nice cool treat but we were so full after our yummy meal!Definitely will be back to try the sisig and halo-halo.
