A Chinatown staple, delicious comfort food! Came here for dinner with friends and we were ecstatic about the variety - there was something for everyone and prices were fair! Some highlights included the chicken feet, the turnip cakes, and siu mai. For service, make sure to flag down wait staff. Decor and furniture was outdated, but we didn’t mind because the food was so worth it!
Went in during lunch time recently and I was blown away! I got the Busy Burger with cheese, as well as fries and a drink. Everything was delicious, cooked to perfection, and fresh!! While the portion was quite filling, I just couldn’t put my food down! I loved it so much that I went back soon after for a mini burger and onion rings - the perfect amount of food, peak freshness. I appreciated how fast the food came out, as well as the outdoor seating!
This spot holds such a special place in my heart, I cannot recommend it enough!
The food at Mint Mark can only be described as a soulful work of art. Each dish is such a labor of love, using seasonal ingredients with techniques that highlight their flavors. It’s hard to recommend specific dishes because the menu changes often. But! The pastas are always phenomenal, the terrines are a joy, and anything with either cauliflower or cabbage is a must-try. Not sure what to order? Ask the friendly staff for their current favs!
The drinks match the beauty of the food. From fun twists on classics to drinks with flavor combinations that are unheard of, the bartenders here are nothing less than artists! Again, hard to recommend something, as the drinks are often changing. But! Don’t forget to ask about the sangrita on tap and take full advantage of any seasonal drinks.
To top this all off, ambiance is hip and lively, a delightfully fun place to visit. Patio is first come, first served, so get there early!

Understated, unassuming, and undeniably delicious! I had lunch by myself and got to sit at the bar. As usual, my food arrived quickly, despite being busy. I had the sushi sashimi combo with a salad. The salad was yummy, a typical side salad that one could expect from a Japanese sushi restaurant. In terms of the sushi, it consisted of perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned rice, very fresh fish, and generous portions. As always, service was kind and attentive. Overall, the perfect spot for a yummy lunch!
A nice but largely unremarkable Italian-American restaurant. The warm bread at the beginning was yummy and the drinks were well-prepared. For food, we had the seafood salad, which was alright but unfortunately the seafood was not the freshest that Chicago has to offer. Also, the scungilli (snail) could have been shaved more thinly, so as to catch the very flavorful lemon vinaigrette. We also had a side of momma’s meatballs, which were lovely and perfectly cooked! The restaurant itself is somewhat dark, but otherwise I appreciated all the wood and brown tones. The vibe from the waitstaff felt strange - everyone appeared to be running around and on edge. The food, service, and ambiance are not worth the price.
