    The street food-inspired dishes here put his team’s talents front and center as they elegantly refine flavors that one might find at an Asian night market. Read more

    Creative, eclectic, delicious takes on Asian street food, cocktails, and a lively patio. Don't miss the everything wings, General Tso's lamb sweetbreads, and the Korean-style stuffed cabbage. Read more

    Everything Wings (crispy wings glazed with soy, jaggery and dried chilis, tossed with sesame, poppy seed, fried shallots and served with tzatziki) does not any explanations

    Their spin on calamari is really good. Bit of spice and freshness at the same time. We also ate the brussel sprouts, wings, and split the burger. Honestly all was great.

    Delicious cocktails and small dishes. Slightly pricey for dinner but recommend the sharing appetizers at the bar (spring rolls and mushroom dish). Fun to hang by the bar and watch the kitchen.

    4.5 stars! We went with 4 people and ordered 8 dishes and we only needed 6-7. I would rec the black cod, wings, bread special, mushrooms and Brussels! Not a fan of empanadas!

    Great place to listen old school hip hop whilst enjoying the everything wings and the short ribs dishes. Totally satisfied.

    Best burger in Chicago, maddeningly only offered at their bar. Cocktails are thoughtful and bartenders are cool/knowledgeable. Good luck finding a seat. RIP Ruxbin

    After the awesome food, the next best thing about Mott St. is the people that work here. And the third best thing is that half of them are named Mike and half of them are named Joe...easy to remember.

    Awesome neighborhood restaurant. The fried rice with crab brain and mushrooms with miso butter are especially great. Recommend!

    Sit at the bar and get the burger (only served at the bar). Best burger I've ever had! So good it doesn't even need any condiments!

    Oyster mushrooms plus garlic fried rice combo was excellent! Also like the Brussels sprouts. Great cocktails and customer service. Would go back!

    Oyster mushrooms, fried rice - I would order again. Brussels sprouts, calamari, cabbage lasagna was good, but not something I would get again. Aperol drink exceeded my expectations.

    This place continues to please. Great wait staff. Get the crab brain fried rice, the whole fish special and the mushroom in butter sauce.

    BRUSSELS SPROUTS (wok fried with lamb pancetta and maple brown butter): who else would have thought of this wonderful combination?

    The short rib was my favorite item I ordered, but I felt like this restaurant is overrated. They were very backed up on a Thursday night, and despite having a reservation had to wait 45 minutes to sit

    Don’t eat all day if you’re going to do the burger here! Chatty bartender, sitting by the bar has its perks - beer suggestions. The seafood has the “smell” in the taste, too much for some.

    Food was outstanding. Service was, at best, indifferent. I'll go back but will try to sit outside if possible. Stuffed cabbage was awesome.

    Asian cuisine fusion. My complaint is the loud music which drowned our family chat during dinner.

    Skip the donuts, the brussel sprouts, and the crab brain fried rice, then make a meal of the stuffed cabbage. It was the only good thing we tried out of like 11 dishes. The service WAS good though.
