Ima's Chicago is a Filipino restaurant known for its delicious puto and crispy lumpia. The puto is spongy, moist, and subtly sweet, available in plain, ube, and pandan flavors. The lumpia is crispy and served hot, making it a popular choice. The restaurant also features a hot bar of food and frozen desserts, all available for takeout.
The staff at Ima's Chicago are knowledgeable about dietary allergies and make their own rice flour in-house. They are attentive to customers, warming up food as needed and providing extra lumpia to make up for any wait time. The restaurant has a quaint ambiance with displays of freshly made "ulam" and desserts. They offer a variety of Filipino meals, including opo with shrimp, palabok, lechon, sisig, bopis, and papaitan, along with affordable dessert mix packs like leche flan, carioca, turon, halo halo, maja, and cassava cake.
Customers praise the quality and flavor of the food, highlighting its home-cooked taste. Many consider it way better than the options inside Seafood City. Ima's Chicago, located next to Seafood City, is a convenient choice for those looking for takeout or a place to eat in the food court. Overall, Ima's Chicago is a highly recommended spot for anyone craving authentic Filipino food.
