Big Boi - Kalkbaai iNingizimu Afrika

Oh my God. All the vegan items on the menu are bomb! No more to say. Everything is amazing, we thought they messed up our order and brought meat instead. It is not tasteless, weird or soggy! Update: the vegan spam is delicious too! Last time I was too hungry to take a photo but this time got picture of that...

I ordered a small with longanisa and a fried egg. The result is great, especially for me with a sweet tooth. It is a sweet sausage. I recommend it as an occasional meal, for it is not street food price.

Me and my friend drove last night from the valley all the way to this place because someone told us that the food here is bomb. And it didn't disappoint. I ordered an entree of sisig, longganisa, and garlic rice and I tell you that it's one of the best Filipino foods I have ever had here in California. The food is divine and very much like the authentic Filipino cuisine and the serving is alright. The only downside is the restaurant itself. They don't have indoor seating so their tables and chairs are set up outside in the patio/sidewalk. They have a counter inside and a bunch of boxes lined up all over the walls that restrict the space for any indoor seating. This would be ok if it were not too cold outside where we sat and ate and there wasn't even a heater to at least warm the customers. Plus I don't think the small tables outside are sturdy enough and would probably knock off in the slightest accidental bump and would send your food flying So I think this place is best for to-go service. The food is definitely great and the price is reasonable!

Filipino Fried Chicken w/ Gravy 5 ! Big Boi is the savory concept from the chef/owner of nearby B Sweets. They serve Filipino and Filipino fusion dishes, and on the weekend only, they add fried chicken to the menu. I had the opportunity to travel in the Philippines a while ago and was pleased to see they enjoy their fried chicken with gravy, something that isn't normally seen in the US. It may seem like an odd combo, but I can assure you it is fantastic. I will warn folks that it can get quite messy, but I also admit I may not be savvy enough to eat the chicken and gravy without making a glorious mess. The Big Boi fried chicken was succulent and packed with flavor. The crispy coating is chef's kiss level texture and flavor. My biggest problem was that I was so eager to dive in, I didn't let it cool down, and it was scalding hot and super fresh out of the fryer. I'm intrigued by the rest of the menu, but I'm very grateful I gave the fried chicken a try. It was amazing. This area is tough for parking. I don't know of any safe, reliable lots, and I had to circle a few to find a street spot.

I come from a filipino family, and I brought my mom here when she visited. we absolutely loved the food! the pork sisig was fantastic!
