Kiya S.

Bravo!!!!! This foood is delicious!!!!! I ordered on uber eats and it arrived early. It was put together nicely. I ordered. Pork spring rolls.. meat filled perfect tasty. The right sweet sauce.. I ordered the tye chicken adobo with rice and salad. The chicken had a nice flavor was nice and tender and the rice was soft and had a nice flavor side salad was a spring mix with some tomatoes and there own signature dressing. It was kinda like a creamy Italian.. very tasty!! . I tried some of my friends adobo ribs meal. The ribs were so tender fell off the bone!!! This was a definite find!!!

Fried Chicken & Ube Waffles

This place reminded me of my grandma's cooking with a modern twist. Very friendly staff. Large menu with the traditional items like chicken adobe but also modern items like a breakfast lumpia. Very large portion sides. My favorite was the Ube Chicken &Waffles. Just wished it was white meat chicken. Got the Kimchee Bloody Mary which was flavored more with kimchee than vodka. Make a reservation! This is smaller space so walk-ins be prepared to wait. A walk in group was told wait could be up to 90 minutes.

Pancit

Came here in a Saturday at lunch time and it was packed. The parking lot was already full so we had to find street parking. We were a small party of 3 and were informed a table would be over an hour wait, so we chose to sit at the bar. We ordered and our food came out relatively quickly. Everything was absolutely delicious! I would give this 5 stars for the food alone but after we received our food the service dropped off. Our water was never refilled, our server didn't check in with us, and we had to hunt someone down to get our checks and some boxes. I was a bit disappointed because up until then everything was great. It seems like since it is a smaller place I will need to come back when it's less busy. But I will definitely be back or at least order for pick up because the food was that good!

Bonifacio is easily one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Columbus. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance pulls you in -- rich cultural vibes, beautiful aesthetics, and an atmosphere that feels both cozy and exciting at the same time. I've been here for so many different nights and occasions, and it never disappoints. If you can, come on one of their Boodle nights -- it's such a fun, immersive experience, and everything is served fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. My absolute go-to order is the chicken pyanggang with garlic rice, chili crisp potatoes, fried bok choy, veggie lumpia, and their crispy fried green beans. Every dish is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Another huge plus: it's super affordable for the quality and portions you get. You truly get a ton of bang for your buck. Honestly, Bonifacio is even cheaper than a lot of fast-food spots, and I would choose this place over fast food any day without hesitation. The service has always been amazing -- every server I've had has been kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, which makes the experience even better. Seating is a bit limited and can feel tight at times, and some of the chairs aren't the most comfortable -- but it's a small trade-off for how good the food is. I also love that they have a drive-thru pickup window in the back, which is perfect when you want incredible food on the go. Highly recommend.

BBQ chicken skewers over rice
Marissa C.

We were in the area and placed an online order to go for the crispy tofu, lumpia (one pork, one veggie), and the BBQ chicken skewers. The food was ready earlier than quoted, but we received a text message giving us a heads up that was the case. We were directed to pull around to the drive thru (yes, they have one!). Since this was our first visit, I'm not sure if the place was just really busy or if it's customary to need to call to notify them that they had a line in the drive thru, but that's what we ended up having to do after 10 minutes of no acknowledgement that they were even aware that we were there. Once we got the food, it was all well packaged for travel and quite tasty with generous portions. It was really nice that you have the option of doing mixed orders of lumpia and not just one or the other. The veggie was clearly "marked" by being wrapped in a bit of banana leaf in the container. For the entrees, they both came with rice and salad, but there was also an easy option right in the order form to request double rice or double salad instead of getting both. They also have a really nice allergy area to indicate any special requests/needs, as well as a long list of sauces from which to choose. We did double rice on the tofu and the standard rice and salad on the BBQ chicken. Both the tofu and chicken were cooked really well - chicken was tender and the tofu was nice and crispy, as promised by its name! Nice corner location with a small parking lot and drive thru.

Amazing Filipino food! Drove up to Columbus for a show and found this hidden gem for dinner. We ordered all the Filipino classics (lumpia, pancit, chicken adobo, lechon) which were all amazing. This is a modern Filipino restaurant, so found some fun add ins (green mango salad with savory shrimp paste sauce, eggplant side, ube donuts in chocolate dessert). Everything was delicious and we ordered more to go and enjoy the next day. Make sure you get a reservation and in early as it fills up fast and is a cozy spot/smaller parking lot.

Okay, so I am Filipino from the SF Bay Area where there is no shortage of Filipino restaurants. I didn't necessarily have high expectations for a Filipino restaurant in Columbus, OH -- especially when I saw a full restaurant full of non-Filipinos. But boy oh boy was I wrong to underestimate! Believe me when I say that Bonifacio might be the best Filipino restaurant I've been to! Everything was amazing. The flavors are authentically Filipino. Nothing was over-salted. Just pure, delicious Filipino flavors. I had lumpia, green beans, tinola, chicharon. The people next to me had sizzling bistek and it smelled amazing. If I already didn't feel like I needed to be rolled out of this restaurant, I would've ordered it. Bonifacio! What a wonderful surprise you were! Thank you for feeding this traveling Filipina. That tinola gave me life!

We came for lunch for the first time. The presentation of the food was still top-notch. Every dish tasted great. My husband said his chicken was very crispy! I ordered the breakfast lumpia, and it was good. But my favorite starter was the pandesal sliders. Their menu is very impressive--the best fusion food restaurant in town! And 2 more pictures about our dinner years ago, THE BEST!

Finally had the opportunity to go to Bonifacio, & it most definitely lived up to the hype! Everything about this place was amazing! The vibes and aesthetic were spot on, and I'd definitely recommend this spot for a fun date or a great meal with friends. The service was fast and incredibly friendly! It's recommended to get a couple of things from each part of the menu and share amongst the table, and that was definitely the way to go! The chicken skewers were so tender and tangy with the sauce they were basted in; one of the best skewers I've ever had! The ribs were fall off the bone good and the bok choy had this awesome glaze on it that made them irresistible! Their cocktail menu looks great and the mocktails were totally refreshing! You need to check them out if you haven't been, and go on a Boodle night if you can!

Great customer service here! I also enjoyed the modern take on Filipino food. I really enjoyed the chicharron Tofu. The adobo rib is good, I love that the meat fell off the bone. They give pretty big portions, I definitely did not finish it! The ube colada was interesting, the initial taste is colada and finishes with an ube flavor. It was good. The ambiance reminds me of a nightclub in the Philippines it's a restaurant and has a bar too! You can also eat with your hands if you want.

Best Filipino restaurant in town, coming from LA. Staffs were very friendly, welcoming. We were able to be seated right away without reservations, luckily they weren't that busy. I loved the island vibes set up, it really does make you feel like you in the Philippines. Food was amazing, loved loved everything. DEf recommend.

Pork Sisig

Bonifacio does not miss. In the past, I had their Boodle box before which let me sample a large portion of their dinner menu. And there is a lot to like. This trip was for brunch... and there's a lot to like. Everyone in my party of three was satisfied, not least of which me. From the Pandesal and its yummy cinnamon butter to the surprising arroz caldo (simple, small, but good), to my longanisa silog served with a good garlic rice, fried egg and side salad, I was ready to come back the same day for dinner. On my way out, I did notice that they have happy hour during the week and half price wine on Wednesdays. Hmmm...

See all

Do you offer outdoor dining?

I went about 6 months ago in the height of the pandemic, and they had set up temporary tables and tiki decorations in their parking lot for patrons. They did not have any indoor dining available at the time.

How much $ is boodle night?

It depends on what and how much you order; it's an a la carte menu. Regular rice is included.

It's not like the hipster places where the tourists and wannabes come to be seen. This is probably the cheapest bar between Clintonville and Worthington. It's about $10 for a few rounds. When you feel like getting hammered why go and shell out money on craft brew or cocktails when you just want it to get to your stomach. It's easy to get drunk and easy on your wallet. The bathrooms aren't as bad as they may be. It looks like they get cleaned occasionally. The karaoke and trivia nights are classic times.

I found from Kaia that current Ohio State student athletes get discounts from The O on Lane. I will be going back there again soon and will try their tavern style pizzas too.
