Panlasa - Review - West Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation
"This Filipino-Hawaiian food stall in French Market is a solid option if you live or work in the West Loop, or don’t want to play snack roulette with the Metra cafe car. Panlasa’s small bites are great, like pork lumpia with dipping vinegar or musubi filled with spam or longanisa. But for something heartier, get the combo plate. It comes with two mounds of rice and two equally large servings of tasty furikake BBQ ribs or chicken adobo. And it’s enough food to last for two meals, or one delayed Metra ride." - John Ringor
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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Panlasa is amazing place with a wide menu selection! It has many amazing flavors and the Filipino / Hawaiian assortment is very complimentary! I highly suggest the musube and the halo halo! Can't wait to go back!

Love this place! I had the bowl with the pork Adobo and it was out of this world. For a side I got the pickles. If you like pickles you will love these. The staff was super nice and answered any questions I had about the menu. I can't wait to go back!

Had lunch here today. Very tasty. I got a bowl of the pork adobo, which was exquisite. I didnt know what side to get so I asked, and got Filipino atchara. Never had it before and it was the perfect accompaniment. Will be back to try to lumpia next time.

Good mix of Hawaiian and Filipino food conveniently located in the French Market. I like the spam musubi but am a huge fan of the kalua pork.
