We had a work lunch for 7 people here at Chee-Bog. The food was amazing, the place was very clean, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend!
The staff here were super friendly. They let my little brother eat food from another place here and they also let our dog come in. We tried the pancit and the lumpia and both were really good. I would totally recommend coming here.
I first had Champ's (owner) food when he was doing pop-ups at Wolf Hollow Brewing Company in West Glenville. Now he has a brick and mortar restaurant of his own. For me, Filipino food is nostalgic. It brings back memories of home. I would venture to guess that Filipinos rival Italians in making food their love language. Champ does not disappoint. On the menu for tonight: Lechon Kawali, Lumpia, and Ube ice cream. It's a nice touch that Chee-Bog offers phonetic spellings of each of their menu items. Let's cut to the chase. Lechon Kawali - it's basically deep fried uncured bacon/pork belly, served with a lechon sauce (traditionally made with chicken liver, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, brown sugar). The lechon is served with two ice cream scoops worth of white rice, a little fried garlic, and topped with quick pickled cucumber. If you like pork, this is guaranteed to make both you and your cardiologist happy. Lumpia - Filipino egg roll (pork and veggies) served with duck sauce and/or sawsawan (Filipino dipping sauce). Use the sawsawan for the lechon too. Ube ice cream - ube is a purple yam, one of the most Instagrammable ingredients due to its unique color. It lends a subtle sweet potato flavor to the ice cream. The riot of color and added crunch is provided by some Fruity Pebbles cereal. Filipino food is getting it's time in the spotlight now thanks to chefs like Champ as well as Chris Mauricio of Harana Market in Accord, NY.
Amazing little restaurant. Very clean and tidy. The flavor, quality and portion size of the food are definitely worth that price!
Amazing flavor and tons of love in their food the staff makes you feel like you are a guest in their home Vegetarian options: Small menu to begin with but a very flavorful vegetarian dish and I'm not a vegetarian yummy
This place is incredible. Delicious flavorful food, cool staff, and cozy atmosphere. This place is a gem, I've never had food like it. I can't recommend this place enough!
