  • I have been living in area my whole and never realized I pass by here almost every day driving. This place is extremely cozy and very nice inside. The mushroom dumpling was so delicious I ordered another one for myself. The Double Cheeseburger is really good and my wife had the Fluke. Super delicious overall. The waiter we had was super nice and walked us through the menu. Loved his sense of humor. Will definitely be back!

  • This is one of our favorite spots! The staff is warm, knowledgeable, and attentive-and a special shout-out to the GM Karen who always greets us so warmly. The food is consistent, creative, delicious and beautifully presented. They even surprised us with a couple of complimentary dishes today, which really made our night and gave a chance to try dishes we normally wouldn’t. Highly recommend for a date night out or to celebrate an intimate occasion.

  • We are so excited about this place, such a great find! Top #5 burger in Chicago, super delicious food, the dumplings are incredible, and loved the Dan Dan Noodles. Great service, very friendly, felt warm and inviting, and it is such a unique & delicious local spot. Will absolutely be coming back!

  • I dined at Community Tavern in Chicago’s Portage Park neighborhood and really appreciated their bold, globally inspired menu—especially dishes like the ramp kimchi dumplings and the Community Bibimbap which were flavorful and inventive. The fried marble potatoes and BBQ pork ribs were decadent and satisfying, though a couple of plates felt a bit heavy or overly salty. The ambiance was warm and lively, with an inviting wooden bar, blue-accented walls, and a friendly energy that made the experience memorable. Overall, most dishes delivered, and it was a fun, tasty outing

  • Love the rotating menu of asian-fusion dishes along with the fan-favorite mainstays. Always love their pork belly dishes, bibimbap, and the burger is amazing. A great fancy option for date night, or an early dinner with the kids. The happy hour menu is really great and kids eat free (Sunday - Thursday). I always recommend this place to guests and would go here more often if I lived closer.

  • We really enjoyed our experience from start to finish. It is the little things that make all the difference. The service and team were all knowledgeable and welcoming. Specifics aspects of service that we enjoyed were the clean plates between each course. All the food was delicious. Thoughtful, well-balanced dishes marked our experience. The woman who ran a number of dishes and took the time to describe each dish was particularly genuine and we appreciated her attention to detail. Our server was fine and was indeed attentive. The blue-prawn dumplings were particularly delicious. I also greatly enjoyed the pasilla noodle. The environment was very warm and welcoming and there was a buzz of life and excitement in the facility. All the dishes, in addition to being delicious, wete beautifully presented. Cocktails were also presented nicely and perfectly balanced with some inventive combinations. The mezcal cocktails were very enjoyable. All told, it was awesome and we will certainly be back. Our only complaint, and I would really characterize it as more of an opportunity to improve or a less successful culinary experiment, was the pandan creme brûlée. I love creme brûlée, and when I see one on a menu, I order it, no exceptions. This version was overpowered by the pandan flavor and the custard hadn't set as much as I would have liked. Perhaps a bit less pandan would have worked better. All told with the blackberry and thai basil it was a unique and enjoyable bite, but I probably would not order this dish again... We will be back for certain. A jem of Portage Park to be sure.

  • This is a hidden gem in Chicago! WOW! The service was spot on & we had a large party. All food was delivered together and everyone received the correct plate with no direction. The food was in another league. We were there for Mother’s Day brunch & everything was on point. We will definitely make this a regular spot & we are excited to come back for dinner.

  • This place is an absolute gem. Accidently found on some food guides blog and went once with my wife. We’ve been back several times. Very cozy spot with a seasonal menu. They experiment with great flavors constantly and never disappoint. The staff is amazing, makes you really feel at home. This is definitely my go to spot when I’m in the mood for some good Asian fusion and a chow down. We over eat ever time
