    Kung Pao Chicken
    jt w.

    came in for a drink and left full of the kung pao chicken on the lunch special. super good portion, super solid meal, and didnt break the bank. doesnt stand out as incredible but id assume thats because this is a bbq restaurant and that part is probably phenomenal. Cold Asahi and warm egg drop complimented this simple meal well. Would come back

    if you love AYCE Korean BBQ be sure to stop by the Lincoln Park or Chinatown location of Jiang Niu! We went to the Lincoln Park location right on kingsbury st. I love the presentation of all the meats, and the Chinese fusion added in. They have premium ingredients that you can grill to your hearts content! Great for groups! Service is very attentive and they serve your meat quickly and turn over the grill. If it's your birthday, you'll eat for free!

    Kalbi ribs
    Jennifer S.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday. Very friendly and helpful staff, casual no fuss relaxed atmosphere. It's definitely well worth the price of $36.99 for all you can eat. Quality of meat was very good. Favorites are the Kalbi ribs, garlic beef, pork belly. Will definitely come back

    There are 3 kind of sauce

    To Birthday Boy/Girl, This is the right place to go! You can get a one free meal on your birthday. Food - 5/5 Food are good, multiple type of food from the menu: beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and vegetables. Besides, you can order some hot dishes, such as soup and fried rice. Lastly, don't forget to order s'more before you leave! Service: 5/5 Food are serve by robots, but the staff will help with your order. You can order more food within the 90-minute time limit. Ambiance: 4/5 The design of the restaurant is very modern. There is a small bubble tea shop inside the restaurant, but not sure if it is open. Price: 5/5 Price is reasonable for the quality of food. Even cheaper if it is your birthday!

    The pros: - Good quality food - Good service, especially by Chinese restaurant standards - Inexpensive The cons: - Quite smoky even with the hood vents - Pretty empty which does not give off good vibes This would be a good place to go with a group of friends, especially with a group of friends who don't know much about bbq. It's beginner friendly and has accessible drinks.

    I came here for a company lunch and everyone loved the place! Quality- the meat freshness, cut, and seasoning is on the higher end of bbq places I've been to. My favorite is the spicy pork and beef. I wish the squid, shrimp, and tilapia had more sauce and flavoring. I could tell the seafood is not this places strong point but the beef and pork is very good. One more critique is that the grill isn't oiled much so it takes longer to cook the meat and is easier to burn stuff. Quantity- all you can eat. Wish there were more vegetable and appetizer options though. 26 bucks per person for lunch is a steal! Atmosphere- nice clean welcoming atmosphere Service- the servers were surprisingly fast.

    Newly opened AYCE Korean BBQ! Loved our visit there. The service is top-notch, the wait staff very attentive and friendly. The ordering process was smooth - you order everything you would like from an iPad for unlimited rounds. We enjoyed the quality and flavors of the meat and dishes, too. We enjoyed the Fatty Beef Slices, Beef marinated in Garlic Sauce, Pork Belly, Cheese Corn, and the most important dish - PLEASE ORDER - Sweet and Spicy Vegetable Salad. It's soooo good! They also have very reasonably priced liquor and delicious cocktails. Import Tsingtao beer for only $5!

    New place to me. Promoted as a Chinese Korean fusion. The source from an area north east in China near the Korean Peninsula. Variety of raw meats to be grilled at the table. Luckily the waitress helped us out cooking. Center of the grill is very hot. Pork belly in strips and whole thin pork chops are cooked and cut into pieces to finish with a scissor. A wide variety of meats can be picked. Two meats per person picked at a time. Premium other selections for additional cost are on the back of the menu like fried rice. Food can be served on a Ferris wheel but you pay 6 or 8 dollars for no more food. Food was varied and good but it was mostly the experience to go for. The menu and process took a lot of time to explain. I would go back. The best deal is a free dinner on your Birthday. The restaurant is clean and new. Not Smokey. Oh, forgot about the Robots. Food comes to the table on a robot.

    $36.99 ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT now in Lincoln Park The moment you walk in , it's like you're transported to Korea. Jiang niu is a Korean inspired Chinese bbq with lots of options for everyone, both meat & veg/seafood, spicy or non spicy, and various flavors like garlic, pepper, etc Happy hour all you can eat bbq also available My top 7 All their salads - packed with Sichuan pepper (light), sesame oil, cilantro, and various crunchy vegetables & tofu Juicy beef navel - nice soft and fatty Blade beef Spicy beef Garlic beef slice Spicy chicken thigh (super tender) Seaweed tofu soup Street Parking available outside. Right next to improv, drucker center if you play indoor volleyball/basketball games too

    Tasty meat, huge shrimp, savory sauces, and cool presentation! It was the first time in my life I cooked meat this way, and it was an exciting experience. It's great when you can explore on your own how to make meat taste the best.

    I've been craving some MEAT for a while, and after reading Sam C.'s review, I was sold - I grabbed…read moremy keys and made my way over! When I find myself thinking of a return trip while still there, you know for sure Offset BBQ delivers! I ordered the All Beef Platter, and got the Brisket Chili (upgrade) as my side. The sausage was fantastic! It had a snap which made all the Chicago Hot Dogs within a 20 mile radius jealous. Inside was a maximally savory, salty but not over-salted filling. The kind of meat that needs no sauce. Then comes the brisket! A lovely piece of meat that was so tender, looking at it and licking my lips caused the meat to start falling apart. I also loved that it was a good balance of meaty and fatty bits. However, there is a small 'but' here. For my taste, the brisket needed a very light sprinkle of salt. No matter, with the help of the sauces the brisket leveled up enough to take on any boss battle thrown at it. Speaking of sauces: The KC Style and Hawaiian were both good. Both were sweet, and had some tang, though, it seemed the KC had a slight edge in the bold department between the two. A sauce I loved though was the Chicago White, a fantastic Horseradish and Mustard sauce that was unique, interesting, savory, fresh, and a little spicy. The kind of sauce I want to buy a container of and take home! For my side, I upgraded to the bowl of brisket chili. I loved this so much, I may just order this as a main on a return visit. The chili did not at all skimp on the meat, which was tender and flavorful. The use of beans, corn, and veggies were there to help accent everything else, and were themselves cooked perfectly. Kudos also for the inclusion of a couple pickled jalapeno slices. My heat tolerance may be too high to feel a burn, but the crispness of acid did wonders! The included coleslaw was one thing I did not love. I appreciated that they were not heavy handed on the mayo, and the dressing overall was light in quantity and consistency. However, the cabbage was sliced as if by a sleep deprived stagiaire who has yet to master knife skills. The slicing was terribly inconsistent, with some pieces being way too large. For dessert, I ordered the Blueberry Handpie. This was so much better than expected! The crust was flaky and wonderful, and the filling had plentiful sweet blueberries. This dish also excelled in its execution. The cast iron pan kept the pie warm, and the ice cream was such that didn't melt right away. I also loved that the blueberries weren't screaming hot and exploding with lava. When it comes to the service, the bar-server was fantastic. She was kind, friendly, and attentive. Food came out pretty fast, too, considering how fresh everything was. Finally, while I did not make laps around the entire establishment, the vibe has just the right intersection between BBQ and Rock & Roll, with the music playing at the perfect volume to be appreciated while being not at all intrusive. Final verdict: There are many who sing the praises of Smoque BBQ, which is a great spot. However, between the two, I prefer Offset. Other than a sloppy-chopped Coleslaw, the experience was fantastic not only in the food, but in the execution and the thought put into the experience.

    Alright, I don't usually do this. I'm not a Yelp or Google Review warrior, I'm not out here typing…read moreessays about every decent meal... but gotdamn, this place earned it. I've been meaning to get here for years, and we finally rolled in for lunch - and let me tell you, the hype in my head still wasn't enough. For context, I'm not just some random dude who likes ribs. I run a small side street BBQ pop-up on the South Side and I'm borderline obsessive about properly smoked meat - especially the kind that's gently smoked, where you taste the craft and not just a blast of soot and sauce. That balance is HARD. Most places (even the quote unquote "institutions" we all know) lean heavy on sauce to cover up over-smoked, tired meat. This spot? Absolutely not that. Offset BBQ in Humboldt Park is operating on a whole different level. This is thoughtful, patient, technique-driven barbecue - the kind pitmasters respect and regular people fall in love with without even knowing why it's better. I had the chance to meet Carlo Carani and Doug Pompa, and that alone made the visit special. Doug is the real-deal pitmaster - not flashy, not ego-driven, just a humble craftsman who clearly lives and breathes smoke. Both of them were welcoming, down-to-earth, and generous with their time. Doug even walked me through their smokers and process, which, as someone still climbing the BBQ learning curve, was like getting a backstage pass to a masterclass. No gatekeeping, no attitude - just passion and pride in doing things the right way. And the food backs it all up. The brisket? Tender, beautifully rendered, rich without being heavy. Pulled pork? Juicy, seasoned exactly right, smoke present but never overpowering. The pickled sides? Absolute game-changer - that bright acidity cutting through the richness like a perfect reset button between bites. They're not just doing traditional barbecue either - there's creativity on the menu that actually makes sense, not gimmicks. Add in a serious whiskey and bourbon lineup plus beer that pairs the way it should, and you're looking at a full experience, not just a tray of meat. This isn't just another BBQ joint. This is a Chicago barbecue institution in the making - if it isn't already. Do yourself a favor: run, don't walk. Whether you're a die-hard smoke nerd or just someone who loves good food, this place is the real deal. Maria's service is outstanding and you'd be remissed not to include her hospitality as a bright star to this BBQ institution's success. God bless this joint!

    I am extremely happy to find another Hawaiian restaurant near me and it's not a wannabe like H*B*…read more We came on a weekend during dinner and there was a mild rush in and out of pick up orders and people dining in. We grabbed a menu as we had some time to review their offerings before the last person in our group arrived. When it was time to order, we went for variety and got Kaleb, garlic chicken / lemongrass pork and the Hawaiian breakfast. We ordered enough to receive 2 spam musubis. Everyone was happy with their food and compared it to another well known Hawaiian place in the city - but here with better prices! We had plenty leftover for our party of 3 and pretty much could fill up 1 container! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items!

    I discovered Aloha Hawaiian BBQ via a photo that was shared on my yelp feed. Once I looked at the…read moremenu and saw a picture of their fish katsu, it became a place that I just had to order from. I was pleased to find that it is located along a route that I frequently drive in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, which may lead to future visits onsite while in the area. And its 4.9 star rating out of 500+ on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience. I did further research on the menu before ordering and I took interest in the garlic butter shrimp, garlic butter fish fillet, vegetable lo mein, vegetable fried rice, crab rangoon, and of course the fish katsu! Out of those items that caught my eye, I ended up ordering the fish katsu with rice & macaroni salad as my sides. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Jesus, for arriving with my order in a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of my residence as requested. And Jesus also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. As for my order, I could not help but smell the fish katsu prior to opening the bag it was placed in. Along with the white rice and macaroni salad it appeared so delicious once I got my first glimpse of it after opening the container. I was pleased with the acceptable portions given, which made my mouth salivate as I took pictures of it to share not only on yelp, but with friends. As expected, the fish katsu tasted very delicious and the katsu sauce complimented it so well. I just could not resist smiling in between bites of it, which left my mouth salivating. As for the macaroni salad, it was the best I have ever had, I kid you not! I finished eating it quickly in between bites of the fish Katsu. Here is your warning! If you are looking for a satisfying meal that could very well turn into leftovers after you have recovered from your kanak attack, then look no further than the fish katsu! In closing, I had an overall great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. I would consider ordering from again whether it be online or even visiting for takeout when in the area. And with that, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp.
