My wife being phillipino and I stopped in here for lunch to try this place. Service and food is excellent. The chicken lo mi is perfectly prepared. The fried rice is perfect not greasy. The Pork bbq screwers were perfect. The lumpia was perfect also. The pig ear and snout with egg si sig was seasoned well and perfect. The halo halo was also perfect. This place is a great taste of the philippines. AAA+

This was our first time to Ati-Atihan I drove past it almost daily and took in the great smelling BBQ aroma across Milwaukee Ave., we finally decided to stop by and have a meal there. It was one of the greatest meals we’ve ever had. This was also the first time eating Filipino food. The flavors were unbelievable, I had the bbq skewered chicken and pork meal and my wife had the Pocherong Bisaya soup. The atmosphere was great and cozy, the wait staff was friendly and attentive. I just can’t say enough good things about this place. I already picked out my next menu item for my next visit. If your curious about this place, just go and enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.

Chicago guy here who lived in the Philippines for 3 years everything is on point here! Huge portions of pork in my vinegar soup that I used to call it when I lived there and didn’t know how to pronounce sinigang. Their special combo is great too great marinade and tender juicy meat. Will come back again and again. Kilawin is awesome. It’s a raw fish and vinaigrette for those of you who are not filipinos. It usually needs at least 40 minutes to marinade before serving. Improvement tips. Keep the place toasty warm it should always feel warm when you walk into a restaurant. You should pack it for them. Especially, if you’re taking tips.

We had a wonderful experience! Felt like we were visiting family and having a great dinner. The wait staff appeared to work well as a team and were all very friendly. We noticed people coming in 15 minutes before closing, but they handled that very well. Highly recommend.

Used to eat on their old location and everything was good. Food service and price. But with their new location, everything changes specifically their service. My sisters called them on Saturday to make a reservation for 10 people to be there at 12nn to celebrate my brithday. Some already arrives around 11:45am and the rest arrives before 12:15nn. The food was not served even if we are already complete. We need to ask the server 3 times until they served it past 1pm. What’s the use of ordering an appetizers if it came along with the main dish? After eating, we ordered Halo-Halo and took 30mins wait. We also ordered Mais con Yelo and was served probably 45mins later when we are billing out. The food is good but you will loose an appetite for their very poor service. We are about to walk away and just eat somewhere else. It’s a shame that even how much you want to “support your own” but because of the way what experienced you rather bot eat their unless you will be invited by someone for free or even free. Found out they also got a live bands on weekends but there’s a fee that doesn’t include food and drinks. It’s shame that for $25 you’ll get nothing.

I love their original location, so I really wanted to try this new location! The interior is very nice and spacious. When we first entered, the host brought us to our table with menus. After about 5 minutes, my invitee and I knew what we wanted to order and just waited. We were engrossed in conversation that we didn’t even realize how much time had passed since we got sat down. I checked the time and 20 minutes passed and nobody came by to take our order!! We had to call over a waitress to take our order, which is ridiculous. It’s their job to check up on their tables. She informed us that the food would take 35 minutes, which is fine because good food should not be rushed. Once we got our food, I was in awe with how beautifully presented it was! It looked delicious, and even the plates looked cute. We ordered pork lumpia, mango fried rice, chicken bam-i guisado, and beef sinigang. The chicken bam-i guisado was SO horribly salty. The mango fried rice tasted so heavily of packet seasoning. The beef sinigang was dry. The best dish out of the four was the lumpia. Which is pretty sad. I had to ask an employee (not sure of her position since she was bringing out food from the kitchen and also working the register) for plain white rice to try and balance the salty food. It helped, but it ruined my appetite and food should really not be that incredibly salty. I mentioned how salty the food was to the employee, but no apology or any attempt to remedy the issue was given. The restaurant is so beautiful, it is such a shame that’s not being run better. The employees need better training. They were all over the place and seemed confused about where to go or what to do. The cook(s) need to evaluate their food before serving it out to customers.

If you plan to go here with a big group, make a reservation. Or else you will get slow service. Went with my family and a group came in after us with a reservation. We ordered first but the reservation group got all their food first. Makes sense I guess. We had to wait a very long time before our food came.
Additionally, They said the entree dish will take 40-45 min. So I said ok just get me the simple plain rice with BBQ skewers. I still waited 40+ minutes for my food. Not only that but we all didnt get our food at the same time. So one person finished their food way before other people even got their order. Food was good though but just dissatisfied with the VERY SLOW service without a reservation.

Ordered carry-out. Service could be a bit more attentive at the front/ entrance. I ordered my food and then waited for about 20 minutes for my food. Plenty of seating for all sorts of groups. There was a band practicing on the stage near the front. Pretty good pancit bihon and the lumpia were perfectly crispy.

Per 2024 Golf Rd, and 2025 Milwaukee Ave, visits…:
Food: very good. Of the Filipino restaurants eaten in the past year(!), this had the best garlic fried rice. It’s not the best _ever,_ but certainly better than that offered by other, larger, un-named competitors. Fish was good, beef as well; the egg rolls at our 2024 visit were too salty but not those ordered in 2025, and at all visits they always presented a decent mix of crispy and soft textures. The chicken breast in our Ati-Atihan Combo was excellent. Its sauce was not overpowering so its grilled prep could be tasted alongside the marinade. That’s art in motion…or perfected barbecue? The thigh-lover in our group devoured his barbecued thigh Ati as well, so it was presumably just as perfect. Topping everything off, prices were thankfully decent.
Service: our server was open and honest about the possible wait for our order. Up to 45 minutes but ours was luckily ready in about 20 due to our very arrival (the restaurant had just opened for the day and diners started piling in later). At our 2024 visit our server remembered our discussion at seating about the leche flan, and asked if we were interested in it after the main course. But of course! Alas, that dessert was not available at our Milwaukee Ave visits. Maybe another day?
Atmosphere: this has always been a very family oriented Filipino restaurant which has moved to various locations in Niles, Illinois. So far, this newest one has been the best. There’s a great decor and enjoyable background radio. My co-diner laughed at the Christmas music that played throughout our late September 2024 visit; it was present again in (just? it was so cheerful!) one April 2025 visit, along with a fine music mix for families. This newest Milwaukee Ave location also had a stage for a band. When does it play? Saturday nights? Quick, move the tables out of the way for dancing.

I’m usually critical but i love this place! The interior is very modern but still distinctly Filipino. Very clean including serving areas. The sections of the layout are well thought of. The servers are efficient and well trained. Good job to the management!
