Lunch at Panlasa was savory and delicious, especially on a cold Chicago day. I love the amalgamation of Filipino + Hawaiian cuisines into a nice friendly menu. I had a savory Pork Adobo bowl, with a side of Filipino Alchara (cole slaw), and Hawian Mac-salad and it was delicious. I had a nice conversation with the owner who proudly told me about their 1.5 years at the French Market (his location), successes at catering events and their plans to hopefully expand. He also told me about some of the home-made spicy vinegars (see photo) for hot-sauce lovers like me 🙂

We’ve been in Chicago for a few days and this was surprisingly the best meal we have had so far! Really tasty Hawaiian and Filipino food, the meat was soft and tender. It was very authentic and so delicious that we were really surprised to find this quality of food in a food market!

I decided to visit the place before leaving Chicago. I love the food at Panlasa. The lumpia is my favorite. They also had live music playing when I got there. Enjoyed chilling and vibing while savoring the food.

Roland had me FED! I got the kalua pork bowl, the veggie lumpia, and the longanisa musubi with the Hawaiian Mac salad. I believe he also threw in the kimchi dumpling special for me which was super nice and so good. Get down to the Chicago French Market for real – it’s so important to support the family owned business here and enjoy amazing food.

Ordered some lunch online to try out Panlasa and it was so incredible! Fantastic portions, lumpia, both adobos, Huli Huli chicken, and kalua pork, mac salad were all so good. Can’t wait to come back and try the Longanisa.

Soooooo delicious and flavorful. I had the chicken adobo and it was so good. The lumpia is a nice size and packed with filling. I especially loved the arroz caldo. My only grievance is I wish they sold a bigger size of it!

I went with a group and we shared everything. It was so good! Loved all the pork and chicken dishes. Pork adobo might be my fave though. Loved the spam musubi!

Honestly wasn’t expecting a lot since it’s just a small place in French Court with limited options. But we tried 3 dishes, and sides. LOVE ALL OF THEM! It satisfied my cravings during the time. Had two cups of rice. Pork Adobo, Lumpia is my favorite and Longganisa. I’d come back if I’m in the area.

Nice and friendly Filipino joint in the French Market. The vegetable lumpias was excellent, the sticky ribs and kalua pork were both tender. Wish there was a better selection of sides though.

Panlasa is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Roland and GM Adam and Nathan are very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing authentic Asian bowls and musubi. Must come back. 10/10.
