Limited menu, especially for vegetarians. A bit pricey given the portion size. Service was good.

I visited Eggs with Benefits on Thursday, and tried the Doshirak Korean Lunch Bowl- it sounded like the most interesting item on the menu, though everything sounded delicious! What immediately pleasantly surprised me was a beautiful presentation of crunchy nori sheets, sesame seeds, and fragrant sesame oil on top of the bowl. The serving tray was clean and covered in parchment paper, and the owner also added a hashbrown patty on the side. The bowl itself was delicious, with very unique flavors- the egg was fluffy and flavorful as promised, the sauteed kimchi was buttery and was (from a person who doesn't love kimchi) very good, the spam was surprisingly delicious and crispy- and the toppings added a perfect element of umami and salt. This was a delicious lunch, no ingredient was overpowering the others. The hashbrown patty was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and an absolutely welcome addition! The shop was very clean and aesthetic, I was able to get some work done while I ate which was great! The open kitchen format was also a nice touch. I look forward to returning to try the pork tonkatsu, curry, and egg which seemed very popular. Also- they carry do-rite donuts! My only feedback would be to possibly offer an omurice/french omelette style egg on top for more variance in the textures of the dish- but the fluffy scrambled egg is delicious, likely way easier to prep, and a more widely liked option. Overall, Eggs with Benefits is a great new restaurant in the area that is absolutely worth trying- and you'll probably find yourself coming back again and again! read more

This place is good! I got the steak and egg sandwich. The egg was soft scrambled which can be an odd texture for some people and it was for me but I pushed past it. The hashbrown was so crispy and delicious, way better than McDonald's. The sauces were also very good. The restaurant is small and cozy with plenty of seating. This place is self serve, they have two tablets to order from. I don't think they accept cash but they accepted my Apple Pay. The owner (I think) was the one who served me, he was also training a worker in the back and was very kind to him. I will be back. The food was great. read more

Run, don't walk, to Eggs with Benefits. We went on a Monday night for some egg-y comfort food and we loved everything we ordered. We were greeted by the owner, Andrew, and their ordering system was very easy to navigate. He had some great suggestions for add-ons to our order, as we wanted to try a good sampling of the menu. I ordered the Japanese curry bowl and added Spam. What a luscious, comforting bowl of goodness! The hash brown patty was crisp and stood up to the moat of curry sauce. The eggs were fluffy and light and were a great contrast to the salty Spam and the savory caramelized onions. My friend ordered the Steak and Egg sandwich. It had plenty of meat and egg and he noted that it was just perfect. I also ordered an egg salad sandwich to go. They packaged up the bun separately so it wouldn't be soggy the following day - which I appreciated! I toasted the bun the next day and the egg salad was super flavorful and well seasoned. They are open all day (breakfast thru dinner). We'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent breakfast sandwich, clearly cooked to order. Fresh OJ was good too. Service was quick and efficient. Co-owner Andrew was behind the counter, asked everyone " is this your first time?" and very interested in customers' opinions, which were overwhelmingly positive. Decor is simple and efficient. Metered street parking outside, with a couple of standing only spots to help with online order pickups. Right across from Target on Sheridan, north of Devon. Only opened since October, so go soon, this place will be packed once Loyola opens for the fall semester. I'll be back. read more

This is really a hidden gem in our community. All of the food is amazing & the service is always very friendly. It's a Must-Go for all locals! read more

This place is PHENOMENAL. However I'm really disappointed they took the egg salad sandwich off the menu. It was my favorite item and I know of others whom felt the same. I really hope they add it back because it was the main thing I would get there. Deducted one star because of that. read more

Perfect meal for anytime of the day! Surprisingly satisfying, tasty and comforting sandwiches. Thank you for making another creative sandwiches! I will be back sure! read more

This place rules. Met a buddy visiting from Canada, and we got in pretty early Sunday morning, while the young people were still recovering. Crisp, clean look, nice dining room, very friendly staff! Buddy ordered the Kimchi and Tofu bowl and I got the Steak and Egg bowl. Outstanding. We both managed to eat 1/2 before we were stuffed, and I mixed both leftovers together for tonight's dinner. Oh, and do not sleep on the $2 Hash brown, it is a next-level experience. Really terrific breakfast. Thanks! read more

Eggs with benefits consistently proves they should be in business. I love love love their egg and steak sandwich. I also love how they wrap their breakfast sandwiches so you can enjoy them handheld so as not to make a mess. The cold brew they sell (metropolis coffee) speaks for itself. A piece of heaven. read more

BEST FOOD I'VE EVER HAD!! WOW! Seriously delicious! I live in Los Angeles, and I am so sad that I don't have this close to me, and now I have to wait to go back to Chicago to have some more. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place in Chicago! The sandwiches and breakfast bowls are amazing. The service is fast and the employees are super friendly. (And Andrew is amazing! It is obvious that he truly cares about his customers.) The food has been a 10/10 every time we have gone, and we've been there well over a dozen times now! PS. Try the steak and egg sandwich!!! read more

Really delicious breakfast sandwiches! The eggs are cooked perfectly and as the soft and pillowy. The cheese is empty and the bun is toasty and delicious. Good coffee too. Treat yourself :) read more

One bite in and I thought "This is the best egg sandwich I've ever had." Eggs were perfectly cooked, onions and sausage were generous and savory and yum! So big I couldn't finish it. Though I did also have the hash brown and a delish doughnut, so. Will definitely go back (as often as i can) for the food, but also b/c Andrew was just the nicest, friendliest guy. Uber cool, and not just to make a sale. Seems like the kind of guy anyone would want to hang out with. Go for the food; hang around for Andrew. read more

DO NOT SLEEP ON THE EGG SALAD SANDO! It is criminal how good it is. Exceptional quality, price, and portions. I feel some breakfast/brunch joints either try too hard to re-invent the wheel and alienate that average diner or cop out and hit ya with the same items available in every corner diner with a flattop grill. Simple items executed well individually that when combined create the unique Eggs w/ Benefits experience. They shoot straight and hit the target every time. A welcomed addition to the breakfast/brunch space. I gladly travel from Evanston for this spot. Worth mentioning that the owner/operator is previously of 10Q Chicken in Evanston and brings the same ethos to this venture. Service is fast and with a smile. Got the Steak Bowl, Sausage Sando, and EGG SALAD SANDO(!) w/hash browns. Will be back to explore more of this well curated menu. read more

Bowls and sandwiches are delicious. Some of the friendliest and fastest service in the area. Big portions and you have to get the hashbrowns! As a Loyola student it is awesome to have a place like this in the area. :) read more

Eggs With Benefits - Kimchi bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Visited while in Chicago recently. DNC was in town but not planned at all. The name caught my attention and so.... Great food. Had my first real breakfast bowl not store bought. Wish I had time to go back but trip was curtailed. Teabagged cinnamon, turmeric, flavor was great. Service was great. Easy morning atmosphere as I was learning the neighborhood. Will make it my business to get back there when in the Windy City again. read more

I love this place, but I came in today and was very disappointed that the pork katsu on the curry bowl has been replaced by a hash patty. Any plans to bring it back? read more

No gastronomic experience but worth it once in a while if you don't want to take them time to prep yourself.

Yum! Friendly service and delicious everything. I got the bacon egg sandwich and they honored my request for crispy bacon. Also got the Doshirak and asked for it sans kimchi bc I'm not a huge fan and was worried it wouldn't have enough flavor without that element but the spam (don't sleep on spam!) and the nori and sesame oil did just fine to flavor this yummy bowl! read more

The breakfast sandwich was amazing!! Didn't expect to be raving about a breakfast sandwich because most of the time I order them they're easy, fast, cheap, and just fine, but these are truly great. The sausage and egg sandwich was super flavorful. The soft scramble eggs are divine. The onions are truly caramelized--not sautéed or fried like I usually encounter at restaurants. Everything came together so well. I'll definitely be back. read more

Food is soooo yummy and Andrew is the best host! Will definitely come back to try other dish in the menu read more

We're neighbors so we figured we'd check it! We tried the Japanese curry and the smoked bacon sandwich - food was very good! The curry is definitely a must and they partner with other local business for coffee and donuts. Orders are placed through a kiosk but the service was nice and quick! Very chill ambiance. Would recommend! read more

Very good but hey its just eggs i cant give 5 stars to anything egg based on principle. Generous portions!! Eggscellent!! I would write more but i dont have anymore yolks up my sleeve read more

It's my first time eating here and the food was incredibly satisfying. I was on the go from the bank to work & decided to stop in for a quick bite. The ambiance was chill & for midday Tuesday was pretty slow. I had the option to sit anywhere & the service was very welcoming. This place is right next to Loyola so I can imagine it gets pretty packed, so I'm glad I stopped in on a slower day. Even though it's a small menu, I can't wait to come back & try out the other items! read more

Awesome Korean breakfast concept. Top tier breakfast sandwich and great coffee! Bread was fresh and well suited to fillings. Curry bowl gravy was soooo yum with the soft scrambled eggs and perfect pickle for texture. Go for a side of hasbrowns to mop up. GF and veg options too. Staff was super friendly too. read more

Was excited to try this place because I've heard such good reviews on social media, but I was underwhelmed. Got steak and egg bowl, of which the majority was plain white rice topped with scrambled eggs and ground steak. The eggs and meat were fine, but bowl as a whole was kind of bland and unremarkable to me and the amount of meat was less than I would expect. I'm willing to try again but what is the best menu option to try instead? read more
