Great atmosphere (clean/modern), friendly staff (owner especially) and great food! I was here a few days ago with my friend for the first time and I didn't expect anything. However, I was pleasantly surprised that everything we got was really delicious! This place is a 40-minute drive from where I live but I don't mind the drive at all, if the food is that "yum"! Can't wait to try their other dishes.

We came here today for our 10years anniversary. The food are good and the tindera is cool . Since our anniversary she gave us free beef soup lol

I've never had Filipino food before, so I wasn't sure what to expect but whatever expectations I did have were blown out of the water. The food was incredible, I had the BBQ pork and the beef salpicao they were both incredibly delicious. The lovely staff let me try the food before making the purchase wgi h was super generous. I had the rice and noodles as well and they were also delicious. I will 100% come back and try more!

Ive been here a few times and its quickly become one of my fav lunch spots ^^ it’s to-go only, there’s not really places to sit and eat inside, but the food is always amazing. My go to is the empanadas (so well seasoned, perfect crisp) and the combo meal (2 entree+ rice and pancit). The lechon (pork belly) and empanadas are MUST try!

I went there for lunch today. The food was great and I really enjoyed it. Love the ambience.The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended and I’ll be back for sure . Thank you for making delicious authentic Filipino cuisine.

It is my 2nd time today to buy food from Salamat Po. On my first visit, I had beef mechado, tapa, longanisa, mocha cake, leche flan and ube flan cake. I love the food! The mocha cake has the right amount of sweetness and not dry even I ate it after two days in the ref. On the second time, I bought the beef curry and beef mechado with coconut milk. Definitely I will go back and recommend this place to my friends.

If you're craving bold, comforting Filipino flavors in North Chicago, Salamat Po Authentic Filipino Cuisine delivers the goods—with no frills, just straight-up satisfaction. It’s set up turo-turo style (literally “point-point”), so you get to pick from the hot trays of freshly cooked dishes—easy, quick, and always enticing when you see the steam rising and the sauces glistening. On our visit, they offered around 8–10 entrees, each one looking just as tempting as the next. We ordered lechon kawali, BBQ pork, pork sisig, dinuguan, and pinakbet to go.The lechon kawali is deep fried pork belly . It was golden, crunchy with a juicy center that held up to every dip. The BBQ pork had that familiar sweet-savory glaze that sticks to your fingers. Pork sisig was tangy, and just the right amount of heat. The dinuguan aka chocolate meat is a hearty stew of pork simmered in vinegar, garlic, and pig’s blood was rich and earthy. The pinakbet kept it grounded with bitter melon and bagoong bringing contrast and balance to the meat-heavy spread. We met RJ, one of the owners—welcoming, clearly passionate, and proud of the flavors he’s putting out. You can tell it’s personal for him, and that energy shows in the food. Definitely worth the visit. Just come hungry, point proudly, and don’t skip the sisig—even if you’re bringing it home.

This place is so amazing! So grateful to have them in the area. Food is always delicious, not too greasy like some other places can be and RJ and LJ are always so friendly and welcoming. I also used them for catering one of my parties and got so many compliments on how good the food was. RJ was also able to deliver to my home which was so nice and helped out a lot! Will be coming here for years to come!
