There are many tables near the windows and surrounding the floor-it is clean, well maintained, and spacious whether you are eating alone or with others. Food Options- There are many different kiosks with burgers, Mexican food, etc. I chose to order from the Macy's SALADS Kiosk I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad which came with a pretzel roll and butter. It was a substantial size....asked for extra dressing on the side-wish is had more dressing mixed in with the greens. Overall the salad was standard fare-nothing exceptional for the price and it seemed to take a long time to make, which is odd for a salad. FYI-They offer culinary courses on this floor from tacos to barbecue and beer, party bites, a pasta class, and kids cooking class too...see picture. I think this is a great idea!

Great service, spacious dining area, and very good, tasty food. I haven't had Thai food in years,…read morebut I wanted to check out some dinner options near the cherry blossoms at Jackson Park today. There are actually a few Thai restaurants on the same street. So I just chose this one to check out. Great choice! I biked all the way to the cherry blossoms and was walking around, building up an appetite. The variety of dinner specials was great, and I enjoyed the chili beef special. I asked for the main dish to be a bit spicier, and it was still very good. It wasn't overly spicy, so the main dish was enjoyable. The soup of the day was so flavorful. It was the first thing I ate and was very satisfying. It had a great sweet flavor, yet perhaps with some lime juice to give it a good sour complement. The cucumber salad side dish was also tasty and went well with the soup. Overall, I definitely recommend eating here.

The owner catered to me both days and he was very nice. I came here 2 nights in a row and did takeout on both occasions. What I got: - Tofu Pad Thai Dinner Special ($17.95): Pad Thai was a 3.5/5 in terms of taste, but overall was a great value! Love the additions of an egg roll, soup, and cucumber salad - which was more like pickled cucumbers. Overall meal was filling! - Tofu Pad Siew ($12.25): 4/5 - I really enjoyed this! It was garlicky and had good flavor. Only downside was that the broccoli was a different variety (American) vs the traditional variation (like Chinese broccoli), but overall flavor was still good. I was served water and was able to use the restroom while I waited for my food. Staff ensures that utensils, sauce, etc are provided for the order. You can also request fortune cookies, which tbh is a bit odd for a Thai spot lol so I honestly think this spot is more Thai-Chinese fusion. I can def see a lot of influence in the cooking. While a place like this doesn't live up to nyc standards, it's a great and friendly Hyde Park neighborhood spot!

CauliKitchen is hands down one of the best new food finds in the South Loop! If you're into…read morevegetarian/vegan food (or even if you're not usually), you have to try this place -- the flavors are unreal and the quality is immediately obvious from the first bite. I ordered a cauli tray with fries and everything was truly phenomenal. The cauliflower was cooked perfectly -- crispy on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned so well that it didn't need anything extra... but then there's the homemade sauce which honestly deserves its own spotlight. It was tangy, bold, and so delicious, the kind of sauce you want to dip everything into. It elevated the entire meal and made it feel both comforting and really fresh at the same time. The portion was generous, the fries were hot and crispy, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality -- not oily or heavy, just really well-executed food that tastes clean and satisfying. I also loved how their menu has so much variety. They offer a wide array of wraps, bowls, and trays, so you can keep coming back and try something new each time without getting bored. It's not one of those "limited vegan menus" -- it's creative, filling, and clearly thought out. What really made the experience even better was getting to chat briefly with the owner, Carter, who was incredibly warm and welcoming. You can tell he puts so much genuine care into what he's building -- not just making great food, but creating something with purpose. CauliKitchen has a bigger mission behind it, and it's obvious they're passionate about making healthier eating more accessible and creating a positive impact in the community. Another huge plus: it's super convenient. You can order for pickup or get it delivered since they're available on all the major delivery apps, which makes it an easy go-to whether you're grabbing lunch, ordering dinner at home, or feeding a group. If you're in the South Loop and want something that feels healthy but still tastes indulgent, CauliKitchen is a must. I'll definitely be back (and next time I'm trying one of the wraps or bowls because everything on the menu looked amazing).

Secondly, who doesn't love bao? @howbaodatchi is serving up bao buns, skewers, stir frys, and more for delivery and pick up only at the @southloopfoodcompany. As a South Loop resident myself, I think this cloud kitchen is an incredible addition to the neighborhood! We got to try 3 different bao, pictured top to bottom: Beef Bao: shredded beef, gochujang BBQ sauce, pickled ginger, fried garlic, scallions Jerk Chicken Bao: shredded jerk chicken, spicy kimchi scallions (loved the spice level of this) Lamb Bao: Grilled and braised leg of lamb, tzatziki, tomatoes, pickled red onions, scallions (just like a gyro) The jerk chicken noodle stir fry bowl was delicious as well! It was loaded with lots of veggies and jerk chicken! Highly recommend checking this place out for food that has familiar flavors (and maybe some not so familiar) presented in a new way! Can't wait to try more of their menu!
