What to Eat at Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - DCC How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - DCC, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Bulalo Net −2
“I was a bit disappointed with the service as it took about an hour for our food to be served. I kindly suggest improving the cooking process to make the service faster, such as using a pressure cooker to prepare the bulalo more efficiently. I also noticed that the dish did not include corn, potatoes, and vegetables. Additionally, when we requested more soup, we were asked to wait another 15 minutes just for the soup. I hope this can be improved in the future. Thank you for your time and attention.”

Halo-halo Net −2
“I was really looking forward to enjoying a refreshing halo-halo, but unfortunately, this one fell short in several ways. First off, it wasn’t sweet at all — the flavor was bland, which defeats the purpose of having halo-halo in the first place. On top of that, the ingredients were noticeably few. It felt like they just threw in whatever was available, and even then, it lacked the variety you’d normally expect. What was more disappointing was how it was served. It didn’t feel freshly prepared — more like it was pre-made and just taken out of the fridge. There was no effort to present it well or make it feel like it was made to order. Given the quality and lack of ingredients, it definitely wasn’t worth the price. I’ve had much better halo-halo elsewhere for less. Wouldn’t recommend it unless they seriously improve the recipe and how they serve it.”

Inasal pechu Net −2
“I ordered inasal pechu part. Our food is served with a cold chicken, and even the chicken oil also seems like just taken out from the chiller. The chicken texture is hard very far from what the typical inasal which is juicy and freshly cooked. The one we've got was more likely a leftover. I even ask the staff to do reheating for us. However, the chicken ended up burned. The wing part is burned and can't able to eat it.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check Doneness. Check the chicken near the bone before eating and raise any temperature or doneness concern immediately.
Check Availability. Ask whether Pecho is available before ordering, especially if you are visiting later in the day.
Clarify Extras. Confirm what comes with your meal before paying: reviews mention missing soup, atsara, chicken oil, tissue and condiments.
Expect A Wait. Avoid peak queues if possible, or allow extra time; one seafood order took 20 minutes and the queue was described as long.
Confirm Drinks. If you prefer water, ask about substitutions before ordering; one customer was refused an iced-tea-to-water change.

The Bottom Line
Chic Boy Inasal Restaurant - DCC is a Filipino food-court option in Port Saeed, centred on Chicken Inasal. Reviews describe the better versions as juicy, warmly served and coated in a flavorful sauce, while generous rice portions and reasonable meal pricing make it worth considering when the kitchen is on form. Palabok, bulalo, Bangus sisig, halo-halo and a seafoods bucket also appear in customer orders.
The experience is notably inconsistent. Some visits received delicious food and friendly, attentive service, but others reported chicken that was dangerously undercooked, cold or hard, and rice that was wet, undercooked or served cold. A few dishes also missed the mark: one Bangus sisig had no taste, while a halo-halo was described as bland, icy and light on ingredients.
Service can be the bigger variable. Customers have mentioned missing soup, atsara, chicken oil, tissue and condiments, unclear communication about unlimited rice, and waits of about an hour for bulalo. The food-court location is noisy, although seating is plentiful.
Before ordering, check that Pecho is available and confirm which extras come with the meal. If you are eating Chicken Inasal, check the meat near the bone before settling in. This is a place to approach with a little attention rather than assumptions.
