    Pork BBQ Skewers Combo
    Shivi P.

    Honestly would give this place a 5/5 alike with service and ambiance. Beautiful hidden gem! Love their plant wall. Also the service is fast, personal, and super friendly. We got the Combo with skewers. Everything was super fresh and I have never tried Filipino food so I will say some of the stuff may be a bit of an acquired taste but very good nonetheless. We also got the halo halo with one ice cream. Very unique dessert. If you take anything from this post please try the ube ice cream!! They make it fresh and it is amazing. On Saturdays they also make different and off-menu dishes. Will have to come back for that.

    Loved everything about this place. The food, the service, the decor. 10/10! The bbq skewers were my fave along with the lumpia.

    I was fortunate enough to have the Chibugan Cafe recommended to me while working in the Athens area and boy did it NOT disappoint!! I was thankful they had a little market area where I could pick up a few of my favorite Filipino snacks! The food was very authentic and delicious! I had the adobo plate and it took me back to my time in the Philippines which says a lot about the quality of the food! Playing a Filipino radio station was a nice touch too as some other Filipino places are scared that it will turn off non-Filipino customers. And the Ambiance is very laid back and simple which I liked a lot! I agree that if this restaurant was in a more populated setting it would be packed! The team working there were so kind and very personable in our conversations and overall I just wish they were closer to where I lived as I would probably frequent them weekly! If you're curious about Filipino cuisine, or miss your Filipino home cooking, this is the spot! As another review states they do specials on Saturdays , going to make that trip myself as I was too stuffed to get the Halo Halo but saved that for my next visit!

    Its a really nice looking shop on the inside, with plenty of options. The menu was smaller than expected for "entrees" however the options for food in general is vast. The pastries looked good I wanted to indulge, however Id have to save my sweettooth for another time. I came in specifically for an entree, I got the Chibugan Combo Max plate. It was really good my only complaint is it isn't enough lumpia . Other than that it was very filling, flavorful and affordable.

    Very friendly service. The food was delicious & fresh. I had a chicken pesto sandwich which I highly recommend! I cannot wait to go back & try the lumpia.

    Sandwich bread was dry and hard. Some of the meat tasted sour. Not worth getting food poisoning. Would not recommend.

    We came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was mostly college students, since it is located…read moreright across the street from the UGA campus. There was no line, but we took our time filling out the sheets they have along the long counter when you walk in. You can choose a bowl, burrito, or salad, and I chose the bowl after much debate between that and a burrito. I'm glad I chose that because with all of the good toppings choices they had, the ones I chose would not have fit well in a burrito. I also think you get more when you choose the bowl. You can get up to 3 proteins (with tiered pricing) and I loved that avocado was not extra. We waited about 5 minutes after order until getting our food and ate there at a table in the corner. The place was clean and the meal was fresh, can't beat that!

    I ate here for the first time yesterday. I got a 2 protein poke bowl with spicy tuna & salmon & an…read moreoriginal milk tea with tapioca pearls. I spent about $20 not including tip. The place itself is really cute & well taken care of. They had nice decor & some background music on. There's tons of seating & free wifi so it would be a great study or meeting spot. 5/5. First, the boba drink was delicious. I got a small, which definitely was small but still a decent size. I tend to drink fast so next time I'll probably get a larger size. 3/5. Second, the poke bowl was a nice size & good quality. The reason I'm not rating it super high is because personally, I'm not a huge fan of when sushi fish or any kind of dish tastes fishy & honestly not a huge fan of poker overall but I wanted a lighter dish this visit. The spice was lacking in the salmon & tuna & they both tasted a little fishy/had odd textures plus a concerning bright color which I dislike. However, everything was fresh & nice portions, but I would definitely prefer more sauce in the cups & probably a different choice of proteins. I also hate how the leftovers didn't keep. Everything wilted in the fridge & I had to throw away the majority of the bowl which was a waste of money. Next time, I will probably get something else. If you are a big fan of poke, I think you would enjoy their bowls because they are fresh & they allow you to pick a ton of toppings included in the price. But if you're like me & have a love hate relationship with them, I'd definitely get something else. The menu & ambiance were great & the staff was super nice. Definitely a place worth trying out!

    I want to start off by saying I'm giving three stars because this place is very clean, had pretty…read moresolid customer service, and a lot of options for folks to choose from. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of our drinks. We got one drink that was sugar-free to accommodate our dietary needs, and it was not good at all. The passionfruit tea was pretty good. I would get it with less sugar because it's naturally very sweet. With that I wish they had more sugar-free options for those who need it and still want to enjoy a refreshing lemonade or tea. this spot is located right next to an apartment with very few parking spots in front. So I can't imagine how crowded it may get during busy peak hours. If you are not diabetic or you do not need sugar-free beverages then I would say it's worth trying. However, if you do have some dietary restrictions when it comes to sugar level, I do not recommend recommend.

Apparently this is a widespread international chain that originated in Taiwan, though I cannot remember seeing one before. I thought maybe they would be trying to pass off a low-quality product on a college town audience. However, I am pleased to report that it was as good as any bubble tea place I've been to in a while. My kumquat lemon tea came with delicious lychee jellies by default, and I experienced no difficulty or extra charge by opting for half sugar and half ice. These turned out to be good choices as my tea was just sweet enough and the little bit of ice was just enough to make my tea cold without wasting space. The flavor was quite complex and I enjoyed it to the last drop. Their tea menu is sizable and intriguing, and the people working here appeared to know what they were doing. Notably, they had waffles which smelled awfully delicious, but contrary to what my Yelptastic profile might suggest, I do not eat everything in sight, and I did not have room for a waffle. But the people who did get one looked happy.

I feel gross and it was such a let down. If y'all know me, you know I'm big on being greeted within the first few seconds of walking into an establishment. The gal didn't say anything to me, just stood at the register waiting for me to order. I asked her what she would recommended between the pork belly bowl or the curry chicken noodle soup and she just said it just depends on if I wanted noodles or rice.. that should Have been my first clue. I hate leaving bad reviews... but this is not my first visit here. The first time I ordered the dumplings with chili sauce, and the older lady was super sweet and it was super delicious. My only qualms were how FILTHY the trash can was and how empty the place was... I was the only customer. It was the same this go around too... no customers, and the trash can was STILL FILTHY!! (And I know they're not busy enough to not get up off their butts and clean!!!) I digress.... The reason I feel grossed out is because the fried egg was barely fried, and there was no seasoning or pizazz to it at all... just a sunny side up on rice and pork belly. The pork belly itself was not fresh. It must have been cooked either earlier in the day or a few days before. I know this because of how the fat in the pork belly tasted. It wasn't cooked well either... there was no crisp to the top part whatsoever and the fatty part.... Well that was the grossest part. It was that gummy slimy texture and that is anything but pleasant. I'm really hoping this place turns itself around.. because I do dig the vibe, but they need to get un lazy and start caring a little more. And I'm not seeing their vision... are they a donut shop.... Hot dog shop... or Asian food...??? I think they would attract more business with a more definitive theme. Like I said, I hate leaving poor reviews, but I'm doing so in hopes they see it. (Oh ya, because calling with a critique is out of the question.... They don't answer their phone!! Tried calling to put in my order). Come Mochinut, do better!!! PLEASE!!!

    Indonesian fare is definitely not what I was thinking about today, but after living in Atlanta and…read moreknowing there are a lot of culinary choices, I decided to run by after seeing a new addition on the Mochinut Athens Menu -- they have Indonesian curry chicken on the menu, along with the Indonesian version of hainanese soy-sauce chicken! I was not disappointed except that Chef V said she had to stop doing the Indonese chicken (look it up) and make everything white meat for the locals in Athens. I hope that changes. The soy ginger sauce was excellent. The curry chicken is a definite try for those who would like to sample something different and hot and tasty! In short: Try the spicy dumplings, the curry chicken and the soy sauce chicken dishes here and maybe have a nice pandam mochi donut at the end!
