Bacolod Chicken Haus

The food here is a hit or miss, I go here frequently and the food is either delicious or way too greasy for consumption. My standard order is the big batchoy noodles which you can never go wrong with and either the Tortang talong which is a little on the bland side so gonna need a lot of condiments like vinegar and what not to add flavor or the grilled fish which is delicious and fresh. I’ve never had problems with the service, food always comes out fast though sometimes not piping hot for the Batchoy which is a little disappointment but all in all it’s a solid Filipino joint compared to the lot of them spread out in IL.

Feels like home when I dine here. Well portioned, freshly cooked food and friendly service – but most of all, they serve halo halo which is perfect for whenever I crave a dessert from my culture yet am too lazy to make one at home.

Ordered mini crispy pata and pa combo. Waited 40mins for the food. The servers were horrible. They saw us sitting for so long with no food, didn’t even ask if we got our food. People who came after us, got the food before us.
We later asked when we would get our food, they didn’t even tell us, they went to the back and made us wait another 20mins.
When the food was served, no sorry. Just gave us the food, not even to the right person. And just walked away.
The food was okay. I’ve been coming here because it’s close to my house, but every time I come, service just sucks.

Even though halo halo at little qui app uses old ingredients, it’s better than theirs here where it’s 80% ice, sprinkle of halo halo meat and only 1% milk. I don’t want my halo halo to be melted water.

Scrolling through the ratings and really wondering why they have 4 – 5 stars when it barely should even deserve a 2 star. Only reason why is because of the dessert: Halo Halo.
We never ever usually eat here but was willing to give it a chance because we really want halo halo afterwards and most definitely only sticking to getting halo halo ONLY! There food was not impressive at all! Honestly felt like the portion size was not worth the amount we were paying. Even with that, the food wasn’t even all that great. Everything just just plain dry. I forewarn diners this is not a place to dine in.
Even the service was slacking. We literally just arrived and already the waitress was hovering over us ready to take our order when we didn’t even get the chance to even glance and the menu. So it was just a little awkward having someone glare at us when we hardly even have the chance to familiarize ourselves with the items on the menu. And when we finally had the chance to decide, the waitress to be found… Even when we finish our meal, I was so ready to walk up to the front to pay instead of waiting so long for our waitress to come back to check on us. Don’t think I would ever come back to dine in ever unless it’s for the halo halo.

Barcolod is a pretty big space that can accommodate a lot of people which is nice. We came on Easter Sunday and was able to get seated right away around 2pm.
My family ordered the pusit, mini crispy pata, batchoy, and halo halo. The food was cooked very well and it didn’t take too long for the food to cook. They do warn you that the pusit does take 25 – 30 mins to cook. The Pusit is cooked on a grill which I loved. It does not come with rice though. I do wish that they’ve a bigger option for crispy pata. The Mini you can share with 2 people the most. The crispy pata was very crispy and cooked perfectly. The batchoy was delicious and I would order again. The halo halo was a good size for 3 people. They do give you a bigger bowl to mix everything together and then distribute in smaller bowls. The prices aren’t bad either at this place. Reasonable pricing.
The only concern was the service. It seems like the waitresses/​waiters don’t have a designated section to take orders. We would always need to flag down any available waitress to order juice, food, more napkins, etc. They also don’t really check up that often so be sure to get everything you want in one order.

Great regional dishes that might not be on other Filipino restaurant menus in the area.
We went with the house special combo (choice of marinated grilled chicken and the mini batchoy soup). Also got the grilled bangus with mango salsa and the eggplant omelette. For starters we went with the small order of shanghai lumpia. Good flavors, generous portions for a good price.
Since we decided to clean our plates (those dishes are best eaten freshly cooked) we didn’t get a chance to try their halo-​halo. Next time!
Décor, plates, and TFC on the tele all are nice touches in combination. Lots of room, convenient parking.

Yummy food, especially if you’ve grown up eating ilonggo or Visayan foods! Brought back alot of childhood memories! Definitely coming back if we’re ever in Chicago again! Thank you Bacolod Chicken Haus!

We came on a Saturday morning. I was craving Filipino food so we decided to try something new. The Batchoy here is too sweet for me, but everything else was good! I’d come here again. It’s nice to see an ilonggo restaurant in the area :-)

The place is good and the owner is very friendly. The food is really good specially the BATCHOY «ramen noodles». The price is inexpensive and the service is very good. We enjoyed the food, chatting with the owner and server and lastly, we enjoyed the experience eating in this restaurant. I will definitely come back and eat here if I’m going to visit the city again. From Georgia, Dallas, and California. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Boodle boodle dining is a fun concept. We were a group of 6. We came during lunchtime and made a reservation. When we arrived the place was pretty much empty and they gave us their full attention. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The food arrived hot, their was so much food. I have food allergies so I really wasn’t able to enjoy the full dining experience but our group was happy. It was nice that they call to confirm and discussed food allergies.
My family really enjoyed the pork, sausage, egg rolls, egg plant and fried fish.
The place was pretty clean and not as cluttered and dark as some Filipino restaurants. The TV was on of course, fairly loud but not annoying. This place has so much more potential, would be nice if they build on it, redo the place and make it more aesthetic to the eye…

Awesome Filipino breakfast! It’s cheap and filling. Though the plates look small, they are well worth it. It was a good move on their part to make breakfast all day.

This place was pretty bad. The food tasted old and the service was HORRIBLE! You would wave them down and they still don’t come. Pretty frustrating. A lot of times, I don’t care if the services is bad, if the food is really good. But this place sucks. It seems that not a lot of people go here, so they might be cheap on the food, like they recycle it or something. I was pretty disappointed. The rice was definitely old and boarder line rotten. Like its been in the rice cooker for 3 days. SO gross!

Friendly staff, great Filipino comfort food, and reasonably priced. Will definitely be trying this place again! (Although husband was hoping it was a byob, cause the sisig needs a cold beer served with it)

I saw the restaurant featured on abc 7 and was curious to see what it was all about. I ordered the Paa House speciality combo. (Pronounced pah-​ah) It came with Inasal (pronounced in-​nah-​sal), garlic rice and a mini batchoy (pronoucned bot-​choy), which was grilled marinated chicken leg and thigh, with garlic butter rice, a pickled papaya salad, and mini noodle soup garnished with pork, liver, egg and pork rinds.
I was very pleased with my selection and the service was very good. We had a party of 6 and they got our drinks and orders right away. They served the soup first and even asked us if we’d like more broth with our soup. Then they served us our meals and it was nice and hot! The chicken was flavorful, juicy and the skin was nice and crispy :)
The only bad thing I would have to say is that the parking lot behind the restaurant is small and tight and if you park there it’s hard to get out and you can get blocked in. Other than that I would definitely go back there again! :)

The bbq chicken here is a hit or miss. One day it’s grilled to perfection and Juicy, the other it’s dried up. Certain days they only have breast or wing .
I’m glad they recently updated their menu and have more appetizers now.

Always leaves a smile on our oily lips!!! Best bbq chicken and great Desserts. the banana rolls for dessert are just heaven. this is where we go when we are homesick !!

Came here with a filipino buddy of mines. Located on Lincoln street so parking pretty much sucks. But I parked on the residential side streets behind this place. I dont know if that was permit parking or not but it was a sunday afternoon and YOLO. As soon as I walked in there was a homey vibe, nothing fancy in here. Having very little experience in this type of food, I got what my buddy got. It was the house special with soup. The batchoy soup was not bad but not for me. It had a whole lotta things going on. Next came the chicken with garlic rice. The chicken was crisp and moist. That along with the garlic rice worked well with eachother. Finally I had to do it. I tried Balut. For years I have heard many people talk about eating chick embryos. I googled pics and it seemed horrifying to me. But it was something I had to try, atleast once. Given instructions by my pal on the «right way to eat balut». I cracked the heavy shell open, poured some vinegar and salt on top, and slurpped that chick baby fluid. I am not going to the lie, the more i unpeeled the egg the less I wanted to eat it. But it actually is not that bad. Its like a tougher hard boiled egg. Just the appearance of it is only imtimidatiing. Overall seems like a authentic place for flilipino food!

I really don’t know what to do with this review, so I’ll just tell it like it is…
We did the boodle boodle dining in a group of 11 — which means it was a huge table, set with banana leaves and they put a huge feast on the table — you eat with your hands.
Food High points:
Rice was great — it’s just rice, but it’s good rice
Grilled pork — super tasty
Shrimp — not deveined and hard to peel because of it, but they were sweet and not overcooked which for me is a no go. The non-​deveining part is a little ooky. I know, I’m white.
Chicken — it was actually dry, but very tasty, so I consider it a high point
Lumpia Shanghai — still not as good as Unimart, but good nonetheless
Halo — Halo — ok, I hate halo halo but my husband loved it and I can’t judge so I’m giving it points
Food Low Points:
I thought the adobo pork was WAY too fatty
Did not like the mussels — wasn’t sure what was on them, but I didn’t care for them. Everyone else did, so maybe that was me
Other points: we never could get napkins, or very few. It also took a long time to get our wine served and the same with anything else we asked for (water, etc). We didn’t have utensils, assume that might have been a problem. Also, I felt like we were sort of a «bother» for them — considering the bill, I would have expected better service. Plus, it wasn’t like they didn’t know 11 people were coming.
I’d go back, and my husband definitely would. I’m just not sure it’s that amazing. I agree with the rater who said 3.5 stars.

If I could, I would give this place a solid 3.5. This is a decent sized place that looks very clean and inviting. My friend and I went to dinner here and came with our appetites in hand. I am not sure were ready for us. We arrived and were seated immediately. A very open restaurant with plenty of seating. We ordered the lumpia shanghai, inihaw na Baboy (grilled marinated pork), Pork Belly Sisig, Caldereta (beef stew), and garlic fried rice.
The lumpia was good and high suggest anyone to order that. The Inihaw na Baboy was a probably by favorite thing. It was served on a wooden board on a banana leaf with garlic fried rice and some julienned pickled dicon radishes. The pork belly sisig was alright but it needed a little spice and with a little more crisp on it. Sizzling sisig is a Filipino street food and would love for them to master that because it was almost there for me, almost. The Caldereta was a bit bland and the meat was still a bit on the tough side for me. Seeing that caldereta is a stew the meat should be fork tender. It lacked that sweet and developed flavor that I am used to. The Garlic fried rice was the perfect pairing to all my dishes.
The service was OK but nothing out of the ordinary spectacular. I would have loved to see our waitress be more enthusiastic and make some suggestions.
So for a casual night out and if you are nearby, I would give this place a shot.
