"This Beacon Hill counter spot serves awesome Filipino plates that you should prioritize for a filling sit-down lunch or a “leave work early” kind of meal. The restaurant is filled with the smell of garlic and colorful homages to Filipino culture, like a proudly displayed flag, sungkâ, and intricately woven baskets and hats. But it’s the food you’re really here for. Their peppery pork sisig has a sizzle that could replace a white noise machine, and a garlic aioli that comforts like a weighted blanket. Or, if menu-related FOMO takes hold, the Island Combo has a little taste of Chebogz’s greatest hits, including stellar lumpia." - terrence jeffrey santos, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
