Chinese Restaurant · Streeterville · 54 tips and reviews
Bravo: This is a beautiful restaurant and the place to go for high quality authentic Chinese. They have the best Dim Sum menu with amazing fillings. My favorite are the scallop, spicy beef, and crab. The tab
Chicago magazine: The menu is steeped in tradition—excellent dumplings and exemplary bird’s nest soup—but flexible enough to offer new classics such as garlic lobster with cheong fun and wok-seared beef tenderloin. Read more.

Korean Restaurant · West Ridge · 13 tips and reviews
ISC Chicago: So much fun, good for groups, but you should make reservations. And they give you a lot of food; no need to order one item or each person.
Kate Saetang: Make sure that after you bbq, you ask the server to fry rice and your leftover veggies on the grill. Oh, and crack an egg.
Eater: Korean coal-fire barbeque is igniting on the Far North Side, bringing attention from critics and eaters alike.

Gastropub · West Town · 55 tips and reviews
Jordan: The draft list is well curated and constantly rotating. The house-made sausages are always excellent as well.
Lauren Nelson: Sit at the bar upstairs for a sweet view of the skyline.
Josh W: Appetizers were fairly small. Order beer - the bartenders couldn't make a cocktail for the life of them. Sausages we're great, as were the fries. They had very creative/delicious dipping sausages.
