    Pastry
    Tanya M.

    My sister stopped in to check out this new restaurant and bought me a pastry. I've been dreaming about this danish ever since I got it and can't wait to get another one. It tasted so fresh and the dough was just the right amount of flake. I haven't there myself yet but looking forward to trying out more items on the menu!

    Gumbo! So good!

    DixiePura is the name..and this chef is delivering flavor to the game!! Stop by on a Friday night to check this spot out. Greeted so kindly as soon as we walked in. First thing I noticed was how cute and intimate dixiepura is! Started with some drinks and app. We had the crab cakes, pork belly, and fingers! Everything was delicious but the fingers really were amazing! The mule was a delicious drink I just wish it was in a bigger glass. The chef came out and actually explained the dishes to us! You can tell she takes pride in her craft! I definitely recommend this spot! Perfect for a date night!

    Haven't ever had a meal like this! We had the exquisite privilege to dine at DixiePura Kitchen tonight. It was a wonderful blend of Southeast Asian and American Southern flavors. Chef Chloe Gould had us from the first bite! Service was wonderful and the space was such a intimate and chill vibe. Absolutely great date spot!! Here is some of what we had, but I honestly doubt you could go wrong with anything there. 1) Salmon Croquettes which were so delicate and delicious. 2) Southern Curry Braised Curry Greens Eggrolls. Had us hooked with flavor and spices from the first bite. 3)Cajun Seafood Gumbo Laksa. Full of flavor, tender seafood and rice. Southern Curry Potlikker Cornbread. Pot Likker and cornbread....what more could you want? Creole Do Chua (Marinated Cabbage & Vegetables) wonderfully crisp and just the right balance of acid and sweet. 4) Braised Southern Smoked Baby Back Rib, Hainanese Style Rice, Soy Garlic Chili Crisp, Charred Green Onion. Fall of the bone ribs with sauce so good we literally saved the leftovers to take home and eat it with the rice. Can't wait to come back and try the brunch menu!

    Cornmeal crusted eggplant, greens, Creole noodles, flavor at 11.

    I was here last week on my lunch break and had the most flavorful dish I've eaten in quite some time. If I wasn't sitting so close to another person, I may have stuck my face in the bowl and licked it clean. Alas, decorum strikes again. The owner was such a delight, sharing her upcoming Juneteenth menu (which sounds awesome, by the way) and chatting about the history of the place and general things. Such a warm personality, incredible food, beautiful surroundings; lovely experience all around. (And they have a happy hour!)

    This place was absolutely fantastic! It's a small, but mighty addition to the Southside restaurant scene. It's cute, feels homey, and is well decorated. The staff were attentive. The food was delicious! Apparently, they had just changed their menu and were eager to know what we thought. I didn't have anything to compare it to- but found it really good on its own accord. I'll be a frequent diner!

    This review is long overdue. Chloe is such an amazing, kind, spirit. My husband and I stopped in during the holiday season, I was blown away by the food, the fusion ideas are great. I came for the collard green egg roll did not disappoint at all. The fried rice layered flavors were so good, my husband had the short rib, it fell right off the bone and it was in this reduction that was delicious. Chloe the chef/owner is one of those rare genuine people you meet that remind you that good people are in the world spreading their goodness. She gave us a world class experience, can't' wait to see what's next, Dixiepura is gonna be a force on the Chicago restaurant scene.

    I purchased a ticket for Chef Chloe's Southern Prosperity Menu, hosted on New Year's Day. Walking into Dixie Pura Kitchen felt like a warm, family greeting. There were people already seated, community-style. I was asked to introduce myself as my coat was taken. There were a few embraces, and then we got to it! This menu was prepared with love and intention. Chef Chloe explained the significance of each course, and the ingredients in those courses. She was also careful to note what was vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. I have a gluten intolerance, and the menu was VERY accommodating. Chef Chloe also prepared wonderfully paired cocktails. Everything was delicious. Each bite had a depth of flavor. It all tasted like love. I had to take off early, and I had a warm send-off from everyone in attendance. It was a wonderful experience. I will return, and hope that you'll experience the magic and love of Dixie Pura Kitchen, also.

    We came here because, my husband enjoyed a meal here a few months ago. They do not accept…read morereservations and were able to seat us pretty quickly. Everyone was really nice. Sambal catfish with Cole slaw and cavitappi noodles in cheese sauce. The fish and cole slaw were very tasty. The noodles were okay. Koren Fried Chicken with pickles, corn bread, mash potatoes and gravy. The chicken was fried hard, it was a whole chicken but it was just okay in flavor. The pickle was a little weird. Mashed potatoes and gravy while I suspect they are powdered potatoes were decent on flavor. Pass on the corn bread. Lobster rangoon was pretty good. Honey Chipotle wings had a tasty sweet sauce. Fried green tomatoes was inedible, the green was too green leaving them hard, difficult to slice and bitter so we sent them back. Service was excellent, they took them away without a word and didn't charge us. Saigon noodles, best bite of the night! Tender beef, flavorful sauce, scallions and perfectly cooked noodles. Yum. Shrimp spring rolls. Just okay. Quesibirria eggrolls with tomato basil sauce, second best bite of the night. Tender meat, innovative sauce. Perfect eggroll shell. Grenada 9, spring fever, hibiscus margarita, all tasty! Lastly, there was a band. It was too loud (taking away from the dining experience especially with the acoustic feedback) and because my mother told me when you have nothing good to say, dont say anything, I'll stop there.

    Everything was great! The service was exceptional. Even though it took us forever to decide on what…read moreto order, we experience short wait after ordering based upon great recommendations from our server. You can check out the photos... everything was really tasty and prepared perfectly. The crispy shrimp delivered on the crispness, the braised oxtail was tender and flavorful, the fried green tomatoes had a different breading than I was used to (not cornmeal) but it was a delightful difference. I always enjoy discovering new ways to prepare traditional foods. I didn't get to try the dessert but it looked and smelled good. It's a pound cake version vs angel cake. The Hyde Park area where Chant is located has a lot of restaurants nearby in case you want to taste hop or folks in a large group want to try different things.

    This is the place to eat in Chicago in my opinion, and has made every other restaurant look bad…read more it's the absolute best meal in the city, at a great price, with a super awesome staff. I bring everyone i know here at some point. Only negative thing to say is that i no longer feel anything about anywhere else that I eat. Im okay with that though, because in my opinion this is how you run a restaurant. They are always full, but it is always worth the wait!

    Sunday Funday with a fantastic first visit to a Chinatown gem!…read more I felt like Chinese food today, and rather than eating at my neighborhood regular, I wanted to go straight to Chinatown for the most delicious, authentic experience. Thanks to my deep dive and discovery on Yelp, MCCB turned out to be the perfect spot to achieve this. The restaurant has held its Michelin status for five years now, and for my first time visiting, the flavors here were incredible. Please note: the restaurant signage is not easily visible from the street since the storefront faces inward toward the mall plaza, and while looking for it, I ended up asking a local man and his wife for directions. He was so kind and welcoming that he unexpectedly left his wife on the sidewalk, my husband in the car, and walked me right across the street and into the mall to point it out from the inside! WAIT TIME: there is a 1 to 1.25 hour wait period to be seated for a table, and a $10 fee via credit card is required to secure your spot, which is then fully transferable to your bill upon checkout. The wait is a great time to walk, explore the shops, restaurants, all Chinatown has to offer, and get your steps and miles in! SERVICE: our first server, Allen, was a bit on the stiff, curt side, but overall nice. However, we had to move from a two-top table to a four-top to accommodate all the dishes we were trying. In that changeover, we were blessed to get one of the BEST servers there, Ashley, who made the experience wonderful. FOOD: we ordered an absolute feast, starting with three starters. The Cheng Du Style Dumplings were fantastic. The Crispy Crab Rangoons were actually not mini at all and had a great crunch. The Szechuan Style Cucumber was a bit underwhelming and a slight bit on the soft side for my tastes, as I prefer my veggies crunchy even when cooked. We ordered everything with the mild heat option so there was no overwhelming spice, just great flavor. For the main dishes, we started with the Cauliflower Flank Steak and added broccoli to it, which was a fantastic addition. It is cooked in an oyster sauce and has none of the standard sweeter seasonings of the other dishes. I chose this to balance a sweet and salty rationing across my dishes, finding that MCCB is a great place to get that perfect balance. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce was perfect with the mild heat option as well, and the Honey Black Pepper Flank Steak was also incredibly savory, tender, and good. We paired everything with garlic string beans, white rice, and a great jumbo shrimp fried rice. I preferred water, while my husband had a few Diet Cokes. The food comes out hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. PARKING: parking is convenient--there is street parking or you can use the two north and south lots within walking distance. The north lot is on Archer and Wentworth, and the south lot is on Cermak and Wentworth. Validated parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 hours, and you will only pay $3 with the validation. Just make sure to stay within that time limit and get it validated, because if you go over the 3 hours or forget the validation, you will have to pay the full price for the lot. PRICE: the pricing here is very reasonable for a Michelin-recognized restaurant. Our dinner came out to just under $146 total, which offers phenomenal value given the large portions and top-tier quality. If you are seeking high-quality, delicious Sichuan food in Chinatown that completely lives up to its multi-year Michelin status, and can be customized perfectly to your spice comfort, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend and will return with family!
