We've lived here for years and have only now recently tried this restaurant. The staff members were not only incredibly friendly, but also helpful in explaining the menu items and cooking process. They gave us sample of the different menu items to try before ordering; the aristocrat chicken was cooked so fresh that the meat falls off the bones. The glazed bbq flavor was delicious and paired well with the garlic fried rice and lumpia. We received extra samples of the lechon that they roast for four hours on Saturdays to take home, better believe we'll be ordering this next time as well. Thanks again and see you soon! Best, Charlie read more

We came here specifically to try the Filipino food because the Chinese food you can get anywhere. When looking for this place, look for New Chinese Kitchen otherwise you'll miss it. It's across the street from Arby's in a small strip mall. You'll definitely have to make a U-Turn because getting into the lot is weird. Plenty of parking since it is a shared lot. We decided to do two combo meals plus the aristocrat chicken. When dining in, there are about 4 tables so it can be limited if there is a rush hour. The owner was very pleasant and he explained about the items before we looked at the menu. Lumpia was crispy and tasty. Garlic rice was a little oily but still good. Overall, it's about a 4. I would have given them a 5 but that rock hard crispy kare kare is hard to forget. However, I'll return to try other items. -crispy kare kare with garlic rice and lumpia 3 - I wanted to like this but the crispy kare kare was a huge let down. It was very tough to eat. I've had Filipino food many times and it was never this hard. It's a shame because the peanut sauce with the veggies and eggplant were delicious. -bbq pork belly (liempo) with garlic rice and lumpia 5 - I really liked the BBQ pork belly. Very easy to cut with a spoon. Meat was well seasoned. It is fatty, so it's best to eat it with rice. -aristocrat chicken 5 - highly recommended. Chicken is extremely flavorful even for leftovers. Meat is very moist and juicy. Nice balance of sweet and salty. I should have gotten the 10 pieces. read more

Tried this place for the first time on Jan 2nd. Ordered a take-out online. The first thing I noticed was, during the checkout process, the form asked for a tip, and had 20% checked as a default. 20% for what??? Handing me a bag? I got kung pao beef and a couple of other things. The "beef" in the kung pao was so fatty and chewy I could literally not eat it. I kept trying, but it was EVERY PIECE in the container. A total loss. I called to let the restaurant know. The woman who took the call assured me my card would be credited the amount of the item. This was outright FRAUD, as my card was never credited for this food I could not eat. She also said the manager would call me back, which also did not happen. Bad enough the food was inedible, but blatantly lying to me was way over the line. The rest of the items were on the bland side, and I'm not sure if I would have come back. But after what happened, I'm avoiding this place like the plague. I cannot afford to literally throw my money in the garbage. read more

My sister and I stumbled upon this gem on a random day running errands. I went to my trusty Yelp app and searched for "lunch specials" and this place came up. Cebu is an island in the Philippines and also happens to be where my family is from. So immediately, I was intrigued. It's located in a strip mall between the Pepe's Mexican restaurant and Shenanigans. The sign outside says New Chinese Kitchen so I was unsure at first but when I walked up, I noticed various Filipino flyers on the door. They offer your usual Chinese takeout menu items but I was more focused on the Cebu Lechon House offerings. They have lunch combo specials for $14.99 and it included an entree, fried rice and lumpia. My sister ended up getting the Sisig and I asked for recommendations. They have the usual bbq sticks and grilled pork belly but I wanted something different. He told me about their kare-kare and how it's made with beef collagen. He also explained that it was the dish he made for his wife that made her fall in love with him. I was immediately sold! I'm not a big kare-kare fan but I was open to trying it out. I ordered the crispy version instead of the beef which is really just lechon kawali served with the kare-kare sauce. The sauce was thick and creamy and very flavorful and the crunchy pork belly was a great pairing. It was served with bagoong (shrimp paste) and I was amazed with how much extra oomph it gave the dish! I also tried my sister's sisig. It was so flavorful and I was really impressed to be able to taste the calamansi flavor with it. The combo came with 5 pieces of lumpia Shanghai and not to be biased but it's hard for me to be impressed with lumpia because in my opinion my mom makes the best one. This one was actually really good and equally addicting. They serve beef pares and short order lechon on Saturdays so I will definitely have to come back! read more

People stay away from crab rangoon from this place. For me when I visit an Asian place it is for crab rangoon and almost all of them had only air in it no meat. Really upset. I called them up to fix it they said"never heard from anyone such complaints" and I was like at least apologize. I don't need a refund. I had their lunch portion of schzewan chicken it was definitely worth it. Ambiance if you ask me I wouldn't go on date there! But had couple of tables, and everyone looked very busy. Overall 5 stars for entree & the Worst crab rangoons - almost the entire portion was thrown away. Location- the name of the restaurant in the plaza is different. They have a small sign saying Cebu on their window. There is only one Chinese restaurant there which is them. Google maps took me to the offices behind the plaza. So be prepared to get lost. Updated number of stars after business owners response. I did bring it up in our call I will be posting a one star review. But you're right, I had two items from the menu, one was a 5 star and crab rangoon was not worthy so changing it to a 3 star review and be fair. Also, I don't live in that town, I was visiting a friend, don't know if I will be back there anytime soon. read more

I inadvertently saw the Yelp page the last time we were in the area. We decided to try it today... Great decision! We were greeted promptly by a very nice guy. I asked a few questions, and he was very pleasant. I ordered the crispy kare kare dinner, which comes on a delicious peanut sauce with sautéed veggies . The eggplant was so good! My hubby was dipping his food into the peanut sauce he liked it so much! He ordered beef and peapods dinner. Both dinners came with 4 lumpia and fried rice. Some of the best food all around we've had. They gave us a sample of their lechon while we waited. You can taste the love put into all the food. We can't wait to come back and try more! read more

My son went here to pick up some Filipino dishes for us after he had found the location searching for restaurants near the Woodridge IMAX theater. I'm so glad he found this place! The Filipino food is absolutely amazing, and they are very generous with the portions. My son also noted the man at the register was very friendly -- he gave my son a bit of their weekend special beef pares to try. He ended up getting an order of that to go along with a crispy kare kare combo, pancit, and crispy pata. Everything was so good! The place is a bit of a drive for us, but we'll definitely be coming back soon to try more of their Filipino offerings. read more

Discovered a new place for Filipino food takeout. DH and I highly approve their pancit (more filling and flavor than other nearby Filipino takeout), the aristocrat chicken and fried rice. The place changed mgmt and name from Cebu Lechon House to New Chinese Kitchen but their menu includes authentic Filipino dishes, sadly minus adobo and dinuguan. Their lumpia however could be improved with the more filling. Food is cooked fresh and wait time could be 15 minutes. Next time, we'll call in our order first. We look forward to tasting their other dishes. read more

I was looking for a quick bite to bring back to my hotel. I stumbled upon Cebu Lechon House and I got excited because I love lechon kawali. I'm from Michigan and I don't see Filipino dishes too often there. I called and was a bit confused on what I wanted. The man on the phone was the best! I am assuming he was the owner or something but if not then this place has a great employee! He was so kind and helpful. He walked me through the menu and told me the different options I had for lechon kawali, I walked in and was greeted immediately. The place is clean and well lit. I think I saw a couple tables in there but it's more a take out joint in my opinion. A man came out of the kitchen and told me he was also giving me a soup. It was a beef soup he said and they only make it on the weekends I believe. This was really nice of him! He was so pleasant and I'm thinking he was the same man I talked to on the phone. I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel cuz that garlic rice was making the car smell too delicious. I busted open my food and it looked amazing! The Lechon kawali was perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The lumpia were perfectly fried and excellent. Now lemme get to the soup he so generously gave me. That was the best! It was incredibly thick and delicious. It had big pieces of tender steak and was garlicky. I have no idea what it was but I would love to purchase more. Oh and I cannot forget that garlic rice. Delicious! I love garlic and if you do too, then it's a must! This place is an 11 outta 10! Excellent food, great prices, good portions and wonderful service! Honestly, I want to go back tomorrow if I'm in that area to get the crispy pata! I will 100% be coming again the next time I'm in the Chicago area. Yes, Chicago area cuz I would def drive an hour plus to get this glorious food! read more

This is still -New Chinese Kitchen with the horrible canned food. I guess they changed their name and are 'under new management',but it's the same place with the same food..we didn't realize this until it was too late. This was the 1st time in my life that I've seen my husband take 4 bites of food and toss it,he likes everything. He ordered the shrimp egg foo young with chicken fried rice,he immediately said the shrimp tasted off,the egg foo young was greasy,and the chicken fried rice had canned chicken. The egg foo young was separate from the gravy,it shouldn't have been greasy. I ordered the teriyaki beef and fried shrimp combo. It came with 3 pieces of GREASY,inedible,cocktail shrimp covered in a bunch of batter(see pics), the fried rice had that nasty costco canned chicken in it and was somehow greasy. Not sure why they gave me a layer of wonton chips,but that was the only edible thing. The beef teriyaki wasn't horrible,I'm just not sure if it was fresh because it smelled weird;like meat that's been left out too long. I don't appreciate a business trying to change its name,but serving the same nasty food. Serving canned cocktail shrimp,and canned chicken is bad,greasy fried rice,greasy egg foo young-I like greasy food,but this place shouldn't be cooking anything! A waste of money..AGAIN! Cebu is still New Chinese kitchen,find somewhere else to eat. read more

Looking for something different and close to the house, so I decided to try this takeout only spot. Apparently they're under new management. So new, they haven't even update the name on the outside of the restaurant. Either way, I ordered from the Filipino side of the menu. I was skeptical at first because the presentation wasn't the best. Everything was kind of just thrown into the container. But once sliced up the pork belly (which should have already been cut up) and plated everything, the appearance of the food finally matched its taste. Definitely not lacking in flavor. Going back to try something else on the menu. read more

Food. 10/10 Customer Service. 10/10 Went there and ordered the Lechon because I wanted to try it for the first time. It was delicious and I was lucky enough to get some that was FRESHLY made. They gave me some type of beef soup to go with it and it was also very tasty. The owner there and the other lady that was there, shoutout to them man they really made me feel good to be there. I drove 35 minutes to specifically try their food and it was 100% worth the drive and wait. Very lovely people who work there, will be back to try other dishes that they have. I'll definitely recommend this place to any family and friends. read more

I ordered lechon belly roll & cassava cake from owner Ryan Yu last year. I discovered them through Google. The lechon was mighty delicious (with lemongrass, spices inside) with crispy skin. It was also reasonably priced. The cassava cake was excellent too. Ryan was very nice & accommodating. They have a whole lot of different dishes on their menu that I have yet to try. They all look real yummy! read more

Cebu Lechon House - Lechon Belly Roll - Chinese Near Me - Woodridge, Illinois

Not satisfied with their food. The Pancit: had sesame oil on it , that's not the Filipino way, the chicken was way too big, they didn't cut in strips, not tasty. The Sisig: cut too big and was hard. The BBQ pork skewers: too hard. The Eggroll: not as tasty as I expected. The BBQ chicken tasted good but still pinkish red inside. The Lechon belly was tasty but the pork skin was not crunchy anymore, I only bought this for the crunchy skin, disappointed. read more

The food was amazing I ate it two days in a role trying out their varies dishes. I love the Lechon Kawali.

Food is tasty! Owner is very nice. Good authentic Filipino food in my area. Glad I found this gem!

Crispy Pata is very tasty and crispy! Try their crispy salt and pepper smelt. They also have lunch specials for only $7.99. Prices are very reasonable. The service is quick and friendly. A real hidden gem! read more
