Um how have I never been here in the decade that I've lived in Chicago?! Everything was on point - creative, delicious, and whetted my appetite for said food item and made me only want more. My friends and I ordered different things - I got the salmon tartare and enjoyed the layered textures and burst of flavor that each component added to the dish. The crispy rice was v crispy and so so good. We all shared the bruleed bananas - what a fun dessert with so many fun textures and flavors that elevated the dessert beyond just average. Service was great and the restaurant was spacious and easily accommodated my group of 5. Def putting this place on my radar for future repeat outings.
I have added another regret to my short list of life's regrets: walking by bixi over 50 times and finally, just now, trying this place. Big mistake on my end, don't be like me. Get in, go with a group, go HAM. This place is amazing. We went on a rainy saturday evening. We basically ordered the whole menu, and everything hit. My favorites were the garlic scallion noodles, dragon roll, rangoon royale, and pork drunken noodles. The service was amazing. Our server was prompt, answered questions, gave great recommendations, and was just having a great time with us! This is definitely a great spot for a little group of friends to do a communal dinner!
Bixi just seemingly somehow gets better every time I go. Cocktail menu is always reliably great, the vibes are beautiful with the roof open, and even if the roof is closed and it's rainy it's just such a delightful space with the white pairing with the plants. Finally made it for one of the lunches and loved having some smaller plates to choose from, especially that Italian beef bao which screams Chicago and was delicious with a ton of meat. Also the rose teokbokki is so fantastic, surprisingly filling, but delicious. And the classic chicken sandwich is now only on the lunch menu, just be sure to ask for extra ssamjang. Can't wait to return!
I super loved this spot! The ambiance, the service and the food! The hostess killed it at first because she was rude but it's a great thing the server was amazing! He was extremely attentative! So we ordered a lot to try a lot of different items! I super loved the Garlic Noodles...it was my fave but everything was great...a lot of items on their menu was the first time I've tried them. Definitely, worth going to!
It's warming up which means it's a great time to dine at the Bixi atrium/patio! It's a really beautiful space, with the downstairs being more moody while the upstairs atrium/patio has a ton of natural light. The gochugaru fries are amazing, they're cooked in beef tallow and the seasoning is a bit sweet and spicy with a bit of lime. Rice crepe with pork was really good, the pork was fatty and marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. It came with some lettuce for wrapping and nuoc cham (fish sauce. It's a vietnamese style crepe with turmeric so it's savory rather than sweet. The beef tartare was just ok, I wasn't too fond of the seasoning. The cumin lamb noodles were great, and a huge portion size as well. I liked the hand pulled noodle texture and the lamb was super tender/flavorful. I brought leftovers to my partner and she enjoyed it, even though she typically finds lamb too gamey. I had the rules of the rhein beer which comes in a nice tall glass. It's a nice light beer that pairs well with their food. The server was nice and attentive. Honestly I'd come back just for a beer and the gochugaru fries, it's the perfect after-work snack. Reservation was super easy to make through their website, although there were plenty of spots on a weeknight around 6pm.
Went to an event here and the rooftop / patio area is SO CUTE Definitely coming back for food and drinks! The bartenders and staff were fantastic
This is a a solid recommendation with unique Asian fusion flavors mixed with non traditional Asian dishes. There was a lot of construction a block down but it was easily walking distance from the subway station, and the place was not crowded at all on a Monday night. The best dish was easily the gochugaru fries, fried in beef fat and topped with a gochujang like seasoning with that sweet and spicy Korean flavor. Other good ones included the crepe, which reminded me a lot of pho including the veggies and bean sprouts, and the cumin lamb noodles. The biggest let down was the beef tartare, which had pine nuts and a vinaigrette underneath a giant rice cracker. Texture wise it's good mixing crunchy with the softness of the beef, but taste wise the beef didn't have enough meaty salty umami flavor imo, just sweetness.
3.5 stars We thought it was a mixed bag at Bixi but I doubt we will return. I must have walked past this place a hundred times but never thought of stepping inside, it is so unattractive outside. Inside was a pleasant surprise, it's pretty and comfortable. Our server was very good, he made suggestions and explained everything on the 3 menus well. We started with kimchi (good), cucumber salad (not good), rangoon royales (disppointing, couldn't detect any crab or lobster) and egg rolls (good but we ate the best rolls ever last week, at Pulilgu down the street). We ate the char siu bahn mi (ok but nothing special, needed a more flavorful pate) and the char siu burger (good). All in all it was ok but forgettable.
Omg I can't believe I discovered this gem . The ambiance is beautiful especially for a date night , but I went during happy hour . The prices were reasonable during that hour for oysters. I loved every second of eating their oysters because the flavors were so connected . You have to try the EAST oysters ! The service was exceptional. I was the only person there fora little bit , so I had my own server who was checking on me during my time . I will be back .
BiXi Beer is a fun twist of pan-Asian and Italian dishes. When we went, they had $5 draft beers and my friend enjoyed them. I got the Flamingoh cocktail which was very strong but had a plastic-like taste and edible glitter (which I was not expecting). For food, we shared the rose tteokbokki, scallion garlic noodles, and pork drunken noodles. Unfortunately, the pork drunken noodles had peanuts which was not clear on the menu so I didn't get to try it, but my friends said it was good. Our favorite dish was the scallion garlic noodles because of the homemade, thick, and chewy noodles. I give the food a 3.5/5 simply because I've had better Asian noodles for much cheaper and I've had better Italian food without Asian-inspired flavors. We also were able to participate in their Mahjong night which was super fun! Everyone was super friendly and helpful throughout the night. I can see myself coming back for another event like this. Also, street parking is hard to find but there is a lot behind the Target across the street with paid parking.
I honestly didn't know what to expect going into BiXi Beer, but it was phenomenal! We went for Chicago restaurant and made a 9:00 reservation. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host who let us know we could sit in a little lounge area or at the bar until our table was ready. While we waited, the bartender was quick to get our order and have light conversation while he did some cleaning. We ended up waiting about 15-20 minutes past our reservation time for a table which normally would be a red flag; however, we were having a great conversation and the hostess was quick to acknowledge and apologize for the delay due to only upstairs seating being available. I love a restaurant that excels at their wins but can also acknowledge & address any flaws. After we were seated, the hostess walked us through all the menu options, and we were quickly greeted by our waitress with water at the ready! While we were looking over the menu, I took some time to admire the decor & can honestly say there is not a bad seat in the house, and it is an elevated yet home-y atmosphere. Our waitress was prompt to return and get our food orders. We got the wontons, egg rolls, Bixi Make, garlic noodles, short rib, milk & cookies, and yuzu tiramisu. THE MEAL JUST KEPT GETTING BETTER WITH EACH COURSE!! And I say that with the starting point being a high bar set by rich and moist wontons & egg rolls, so you really can't order wrong here. All of the dishes were flavorful, visually appealing, and unique in there own ways, but I can truly not give enough recognition to the Yuzu tiramisu. Again, EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING, but the tiramisu was delicate in texture with the citrus providing a light citrus cleanse to your palette and the perfect level of sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth hankering without feeling like you over indulged. Overall, I will DEFINITELY be back to BiXi and recommend it to anyone in the area!
The entrance is very unassuming, but once you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy, moody atmosphere on the first floor. Upstairs, there's a stunning open-window sunroof with lush trees and plants that create such a serene vibe. The menu offers a wide range of Asian fusion dishes, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, which was a huge plus. I tried the Cauliflower Bao, the bao was incredibly soft and slightly sweet, while the cauliflower was nicely breaded with a light, spicy kick. It was really delicious. I also ordered the Crab Rangoon Royale, which I had high expectations for because of the name. While the crab rangoons were freshly breaded and had a distinct seafood flavor in the filling, they weren't as sweet as I typically expect. They were good, but not the best I've ever had. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!
Food was good. The lighting is cute. Has a weird smell in the first floor main lobby. Service was average.

What an amazing spot! The upstairs and downstairs are both well-decorated but very different atmospheres. Downstairs is more dark and classy and moody, and upstairs is bright and open with a lot of light and outdoor seating, which is where we sat. Service was attentive and quick, and we got three dishes to share which were all terrific and perfect amount of food between 2 people. The portions are decent at as expected price points. We got the green beans (not pictured, well cooked and slightly spicy with good flavors), Chicago beef Bao which tasted like a soft Italian beef (amazing!), and the star of the show which was the garlic scallion noodles. Those were my favorite and I would order it again--the noodles are clearly homemade with a great chewy mouthfeel and the flavor is rich, savory, and balanced. Got the jasmine tea beer too which was good, not too much tea flavor though. read more
I went to Bixi for dinner and was captivated by the contrasting atmospheres: the upstairs had an airy, open vibe, while the downstairs offered a cozy, dimly lit lounge feel. We ordered the Yuzu Kosho Caesar Salad (ramps, cherry tomatoes, bacon lardons, toasted nori panko crumbs, Pork Char SIU Baos (lettuce, cucumber, scallion, pickled long fingers), and the Togarashi Smash Burger (japanese milk bun, slagel farms beef, sweet and sour aioli, red onion, heirloom tomato, kaiware) with fries. Everything was phenomenal but the caesar salad was particularly outstanding To add to our experience the staff was very friendly and helped us find the perfect combination of dishes! Can't wait to go back read more

Underrated, we got 3 things here, the smash burger, the cucumber salad, and the Yibin noodles (forgot picture). All of them were outstanding, especially the yibin noodle. It's probably one of the best noodles I've had in a while. The walnuts added a really nice texture to the dish and it had an excellent mala flavor profile. It's definitely not authentic Asian food (like I've never had a Chinese cucumber salad with yogurt in it or a Chinese dish with walnuts in it) but they seem to have good vocabulary on authentic Asian ingredients and their execution is excellent, so it's probably the best if not one of the best Asian fusion restaurants I've been to in Chicago. read more
Very much wanted to enjoy this experience but ended up leaving before receiving anything. Arrived for bar seating at rooftop bar and received water from bartender but he never gave any follow up service for an order. Eventually a man with a suit came 40 minutes later and we ordered a bottle of sake to share and crab Rangoon. At the 55 minutes mark it was obvious we were not going to be served anything anytime soon so ended up leaving to avoid the craziness any further. Disappointing as it does look like a really great place with good drinks and food options but clearly under staffed. read more
Loved this place! The ambience is so fresh and chic. This place is best for big parties. They had a lazy Susan at the table and this made it easier to share food since we were a big party. Although the vegetarian menu is limited, all the items were delicious. We tried the Szechuan peanuts, cucumbers, fries, lemongrass tofu banh mi, fried rice and yibin styles noodles. They also have beer options in different sizes, i.e. 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz and 64 oz which I think is very convenient. read more

We made a mistake and dined on the outdoor patio while it was 100 degrees outside but that did not stop us from enjoying this meal. BiXi beer really stands out, even amongst all the other highly rated restaurants that live on the same street. Definitely worth the trip to Logan square. My favorite things were definitely the noodles, definitely a sodium-heavy meal. read more

Great beer and great food, what more could you want?! When first walking in, in the interior is very dark and speakeasy like, at this time there was no one sitting in this area. We had come for the second area anyway and asked to be seated upstairs. We sat at the bar since there was only 3 of us and it's such a different vibe up there! Almost like 2 different places. It's very well lit, bright, lots of whites, plants. We were only coming for drinks and apps since we were planning to go somewhere else after, but I had known how good it was then I would have just wanted to stay there. It is a little on the pricier side but so worth it! I ordered the house saison, which I liked and my friends ordered the palo santo hard booch. This was their favorite! Great flavors and we all love a good hard booch. I kept to my saison though. We shared the vegetarian noodles and oh my goodness.. so much flavor!! The sauce/broth is amazing plus comes with lots of green and a thicker noodle. We were really impressed by this dish, I can only imagine what their other food tastes like! read more
My girlfriend and I came here for Chicago Restaurant Week and were not disappointed. The space is beautiful and decorative which sets the scene quite nicely. The servers were kind and made us feel welcomed. And each of the courses that were included in the restaurant week prix fixe menu were enjoyable. Our favorite was by far the scallion garlic noodles as the dish was creamy, cheesy, and comforting in the best way possible. Our least favorite was the yuzu citrus tiramisu because we did not particularly like the citrus jelly-like component as it overpowered the dish in a not so pleasant way. It wasn't for us but you might enjoy it. Overall this place was fantastic and a great pick for Chicago Restaurant Week! read more

Amazing spot for brunch. Friendly (not pushy) knowledgeable service in an inviting space with tons of natural light. Shared a bunch of small plates with friends. Each bite was fantastic. Definitely try the noodle dishes and end your meal with a decadent cinnamon roll. read more
The ambiance is super pretty but the food was all very mediocre. But I know Chicago has very mid Asian food as most is their own take on Asian fusion. The cheese fries has Bulgogi but was probably the best thing here. It was too cheesy and didn't have much flavor for the kimchi itself. The bao's were decent as far as meat but a little dry, even with the dipping sauce. The fried rice was extremely mushy and strong in fish sauce. I would have used day old rice in the fridge to aid with the texture. Otherwise, it would've been so much better. The entrees are really huge and are more than enough to share, so kudos to them. We could've honestly shared with an extra person. I'd definitely go for a drink for a nice view and left it at only simple things to share! read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this meal. Luckily we arrived early on a weekend and could get in. Every single thing we ordered was amazing! I think my favorites were the garlic noodles and fries. We sat in the lower area and it was pretty dimly lit but very good vibes. Can't wait to go back! read more

Next time you're in Chicago this is definitely a spot worth checking out! Bixi Beer is a modern brewpub located in Logan Square that features menu items inspired by Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine! Their menu makes it extremely difficult to decide what to order since every single option sounds incredible. These items range from gochujang fries to rose tteokbokki to cumin lamb noodles These are some of the items I was able to try during my visit: ~ Chicago Beef Baos: sliced slagel beef, sichuan spiced giardiniera with peanut oil, charred scallions, ginger lemongrass au jus ~ Southern Fried Cauliflower Baos: fried pickles, green goddess dressing, lettuce ~ Scallion Garlic Noodles: butter, scallion, gently cured soy sauce egg yolk, garlic, oyster sauce, parmigiano reggiano ~ Yibin Style Noodles: gai lan, yacai, walnuts, szechuan spice Bixi Beer also serves many delicious Asian inspired cocktails and has happy hour from 3-5PM Wednesday-Friday and on Sundays. This restaurant absolutely deserves a 10/10 and I already can't wait for my next visit! #chicagofood #asianfood #korean #chinese #vietnamese #asianeats #garlicnoodles #pub #beer #chicagofoodie #chicagorestaurants #cocktails read more

This place was amazing! Ambiance is beautiful and even romantic. Food was spectacular and fresh! Our waitress was so sweet and patient, she even assisted with drink recommendations that did not disappoint. Will be coming back to try more on the menu. read more
Cute spot- I love the atrium upstairs. Great sun and space. We came for brunch, and luckily, it wasn't too busy. We decided to order several items to share, so we could try different items. I tried their Ghost of Megamall (hazy IPA)- it was fine but not a beer I'd come running for. For food, I wasn't a fan of their oysters, but I think they may rotate what they have? The pork belly baos were good, but the bao buns were a strange texture- too doughy. I liked the Viet egg rolls, very light. For the crispy wings, Korean bbq was recommended by the server. The flavor was good, but I wish the wings were even more crispy. I liked their fries- crispy and salty, but it's crazy to charge +$3 from the $14 cheeseburger. The Thai beef was flavorful, but too heavy/rich for brunch/lunch. We had to take that home! It reheated nicely later ;) Bixi is a bit pricey for what it was, but I'd like to come back for their dinner menu. read more

I only came here for drinks and dessert, so I can't comment on the food. The restaurant vibes were really nice, especially the rooftop area. The service was quick, helpful, and accommodating. From the two dishes I tried, I wasn't a fan of the desserts. The Korean doughnut was a bit hard, and the yuzu roll (while fluffy) was too sweet. The beer I had was decent... Overall, I wasn't that impressed. Maybe I would give it another try for food, but I think I would rather try other places in the area. read more
We were walking around one evening this summer down Milwaukee and saw lights overhead. This spot is a little unassuming, but is super cute once you find it. The hostess was welcoming; we asked to sit on the patio - there were only a few places in the shade but we managed to snag one of those spots. We just were out for a couple of drinks, so we didn't get to try the food, but definitely want to come back and do that. The indoor dining area on the second floor looks really great, with a glass ceiling. I can't wait to come back. read more

We ordered bao buns and scallion garlic noodles. They both were very tasty. The scallion noodles tasted like a carbonara. Rich and creamy. The drinks here were good as well. I'd go back here and try some other things on the menu. read more
To start off, initial dinner service and experience was very bad. This was for my birthday dinner and my reservation started at 6:15 and we didn't receive our bill/pay until 8:51pm. We didn't start receiving our main entrees until 8:25pm. This late dinner pushed back the entire timeline of our night. To make up for the delayed service, drinks were offered on the house. I don't drink, but I felt this was a kind gesture. However, we just wanted to eat and leave. When orders did start coming out, the quality of the dishes were variable. For example, there were 3 orders of the Togarashi burgers. Mine, in particular was very delicious and well made. One was reported to be very greasy and wet and the other very salty. The "Rangoon Royale" was also disappointing. There was barely any filling and had a strong fish odor. On the other hand, the pork belly bao buns were excellent and very tasty. I would definitely order those again. I also got to try the Yiban noodles and those really stood out to me. At the end of the night, I was really disappointed with how the wait staff handled the dinner service. There was also little communication about what was going on. Later, when I brought my concerns up to management they were very pleasant and willing to rectify their shortcomings. Ryan, the manager on duty at the time was most helpful. I really appreciated how attentive and empathetic he was towards the situation. I am giving 5/5 because things can happen that aren't in the restaurants control, but I'm impressed by the way they handled it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and the decor is very cohesive. The volume level wasn't too loud, but it was lively. read more

Solid addition to the Blue line food scene. Interior is very upscale looking, and there's a gorgeous upstairs patio for dining. The second floor is mostly open as well for the open air feel if it rains. Decor is very instagram forward. Downstairs is more of a bar / lounge vibe. The theme of BiXi is pan-asian fusion. The menu has a sampling of a lot of different dishes, including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. It was reasonably busy on the patio when we went but empty downstairs. The drinks are solid. They have a ton of creative cocktails as well as mocktails that are worth a try. Not all of them are necessarily tasty but the entire menu was very creative and fun to go through. Food was good and well spiced. Serving sizes were definitely good to share for most entrees and apps. The ssam came DIY bun and sides. Other good options are the cumin noodles and the fried rice. Everything on the menu was surprisingly spicy baseline. The prices here are crazy expensive. I liked the experience but not sure I'm coming back just given it feels very overpriced. If you ask for sauce to go those get charged $3 as well which was rather stingy considering how much entrees cost. read more

The ambiance is amazing. The service is outstanding. The food is out of this world. Try the togarashi burger. You won't regret it. read more
Bixi Beer is a fun and unique spot if you're looking to spice up your dinner rotation!! Their menu has a lot of fun fusion takes on classic meals which I love!! The space is also huge and beautiful with both moody dark rooms and the bright white bar with skylights to make it feel like a rooftop! It's a very cool space! They have a great bar selection. I really loved my rules of the reihn - kolsch style ale with jasmine tea, but there was also so much more on the cocktail and beer menu that I would like to try! For food, I ordered the spicy fried chicken sando. The chicken was great, and the seasoning/sauce was tasty but definitely spicy! The fries were also perfectly crispy. I added the tobiko mayo with them, and while it was a little disorienting have a flavor I typically associate with sushi with French fries instead, I enjoyed the twist!! read more

Bixi was a great time. I'd definitely recommend it and take friends back! The atmosphere is lively and the noise level is moderate to high which can be a good thing if you're looking for an energetic place. Drink options range from sake to beer to wine to non-alcoholic options so there's something for everyone. For food, the drunken noodles and Szechuan peanuts are delish. I want to go back to try more dishes. The two bartenders behind the bar were both so nice and attentive, making the whole experience that much better. read more

The salad had some slight zest and a great crunch. The crab Rangoons were decent and actually had crab, lobster, and shrimp as the proteins accompanied with a sweet Thai chili sauce. As a group we decided to sample several items which the first was the banh mi. It was good but had too much cilantro in my opinion. The scallion garlic noodles were summarized perfectly as an asian cacio e Pepe. One of the better dishes we tried. Their char siu pork belly burger was solid, but it had thicker patties which I felt like it didn't balance the rest of the ingredients within the burger. The togarashi burger was a lighter in flavor from the heirloom tomato. And the spicy chicken sando had a solid crunch and perfect umami kick, but I would get it without the lettuce personally. I'm just not a lettuce person on a sandwich. read more

Do you have gluten free options?
Yes, and they're clearly marked on the menu which is great!
How does one pronounce "Bixi" ? Is like "beez-E" or "biks-E" or "biji" or?
BEEEE SHEEEE
The sandwiches look like sliders? Are they really that small? For those price points I would hope not
It's not a slider. I've had both Chicken Sando and Breakfast sandwich.
Are there Gluten free options?
I believe the soup noodles or even the stir fry one is! They said it's made of rice noodles and vegan.
