Bistro Manila of Naperville

We went here due to my craving for Pinoy food. My husband (not Pinoy) liked everything that we ordered such as tortang talong, ginataang kalabasa-sitaw, and kare-kare. Afterwhich, we decided that this is the place where we will order for our party that happened last Saturday. Everybody loved the lumpiang shanghai, bbq skewers, pancit bihon, and the ube halaya flan!!! Most of the guest wanted to know what’s the recipe for the lumpia 😂. I would definitely go back to this small, charming Filipino restaurant. The interior reminds of those small eateries in the Philippines (just a little upgraded).

All the dishes are authentic tasting Filipino Tagalog food. (My sister cooks all of them).
And when you drop by, don’t miss taking home a jar of Atchara and scrumptious Bibinkas made by tita, the owner herself, they are oh so yummy.

Very solid spot for some just-like-home-cooking Filipino food. Tried the tocino and pork sinigang in the combo plate with rice. Ube cassava was also exceptional.

So, we tried coming here on a Saturday and says they’re open til 6pm. It was 5:20 and they’re already closed. Please be considerate about having your time on google because people come here from far away and try this restaurant and just for it to be close 30 minutes before.

Food is always delicious and the friendliest staff you can meet. Always exceeds my expectation

Family owned, extremely friendly. Delicious food. Nice quiet dining room to enjoy. Will definitely be back.

Authentic Filipino cuisine!!!

We made a stop at the place on our way back to Indiana, hoping to get some authentic Filipino food. It was a disappointment. It was overpriced. The beef bistik Tagalog was so salty, and it was so oily. It was like a soup in oil. There was too much onion and bell pepper in the sisig, and the cut of the pork was huge. The place was cozy, but it wasn't I expected of an authentic Filipino setting. It was more of a glorified Westernize setting.

I wouldn't come here for authentic Filipino food.

Food was overcooked and salty.

Super cute bistro with very authentic Filipino dishes. I loved the chicken adobo and pancit. I was super excited they had halo halo and served it in a large glass to enjoy while dining in. They had a great selection of authentic baked goods like babingka (the time/day that I went (your visit might yield different items or availability). The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed - you order at the counter and sit anywhere you would like. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic Filipino meal!

Vegetarian options: A few veggie-only options were onsite. The menu changes daily, so I would recommend calling ahead and/or checking their website.

A wonderful, homey, and cozy place to have a Filipino meal whenever you're just wandering and hungry in Naperville.

FYI: Food selection changes everyday and mostly stays the same during the weekend, so you have a chance to try a variety of foods.

Highly suggest trying their tocino. They make their own recipe for it, and omg, it's so tender and flavorful! Thank goodness I saved some leftovers for later. I also suggest trying their lechon sisig and menudo.

The young man and his mother who served and greeted us were extremely friendly and helpful. They really make you feel like you're having a comforting meal at home.

Will definitely be back! I gotta grab more of that dessert. 👍👍
