    The space has a modern, casual feel with dim lighting and upbeat music that's perfect for a night out. It was loud but still easy to talk. 8.5/10. Service was great. They constantly refilled our banchan, and I loved the kimchi and cucumber salad. The potato salad was average, and I wasn't a fan of the fish cakes. 8/10. The Chive Jeon (7.5/10) had a perfectly crispy texture with a delicious dipping sauce. The Korean Fried Chicken (7/10) could've been crispier, but the creamy green sauce and chewy rice cakes made up for it. The Spicy Chicken (9/10) was the clear winner. The juicy chicken thighs, creamy cheese sauce, spicy gochujang, and crunchy cabbage made it pure comfort food. I'd come back just for this. The Galbi Jjim (6/10) was disappointing. I expected fall-off-the-bone short ribs, but the meat was dry. The carrots and potatoes were actually my favorite part. The Hot Stone Bibimbap (6.5/10) surprised me. It had plenty of beef, crunchy vegetables, and a delicious gochujang sauce that tied everything together. The Sweet Corn Ice Cream (6/10) tasted like corn, but I wish it were richer. The popcorn, mochi, crunchy bits, and slightly salty caramel added nice texture. Overall, I left satisfied. Nothing was coverly fancy, but it delivered exactly what I wanted. Comforting Korean food at a fair price.

    Mister Tiger is a must-visit if you're craving elevated Korean food in a stylish setting. The Korean fried chicken was crispy, sticky, and packed with flavor, and the pancake had the perfect crispy edges that kept us reaching for another bite. It's deceptively filling so be sure to go really hungry to save space for their mains. The espresso martini was one of the best I've had. So smooth and refreshing. The orange zest added a bright citrus note that made every sip a fun surprise. The yuzu tiramisu was the standout dessert. It was light, creamy, and refreshing with just the right amount of citrus. The cannoli was also excellent and had an almost nostalgic feel, reminding me of a classic Italian bakery. The staff is warm and really takes great care of you. Great atmosphere, creative cocktails, and food that lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be back!

    I'm a huge fan of Korean food, but I'm honestly not sure I would recommend this place. The food was pretty good, but nothing felt particularly exciting--especially for the price. A lot of the menu consisted of familiar, home-style dishes that I feel like I could make at a similar quality at home. I understand that the concept is meant to be more upscale or fine dining, but that's also why I'm a harsher critic. Korean food is often so comforting, generous, and homey that turning those same dishes into a luxury experience is genuinely difficult to pull off. Here, the food didn't necessarily give me that comforting "at-home" feeling, but it also didn't feel elevated enough to justify the fine-dining prices. The portions were also quite small. We ordered hundreds of dollars' worth of food and still left hungry, which was probably the most disappointing part. I mainly came for the galbijjim, but the meat wasn't very tender and the sauce was a little too sweet for me. The Korean fried chicken was fine, but it wasn't especially crispy, so it felt kind of like a scam for the price lol. The best thing we ordered was the galbi There's definitely potential here, but right now, I'd rather just drive to the suburbs for Korean food. At least now we know. I miss Georgia!

    First time hearing of Mister Tiger. It's your home style Korean cuisine. Ambience was casual, but the ambient lighting set the mood for acute date spot. This is also a great place to bring groups of people for dinner. We ordered an array of food that's listed in the photo. The Bimbipop was my favorite along with the short braised rib. I got the "unrooted" drink. It was very tasty between sweet and savory garnish with a cherry tomato. The service was very kind and accommodating.

    Went for the food, stayed for the service! Amazing dinner and our waiter Simon made the experience much more enjoyable. I love the menu had GF dishes clearly marked. It's family style but either way the portions were extremely generous. We ordered: Uni rice 9/10 Woodae Galbi 10/10 (Star of the meal) Spicy Monkfish 7/10 Japchae 10/10 There's a solid menu of mocktails but I also had the rice milk drink which was so refreshing and made with Soju. Mister Tiger will be seeing me again soon!

    Dark, moody, and sophisticated. If you're looking for a nice date-night experience, I would highly recommend Mister Tiger. We joined their waitlist via OpenTable, but the host informed us that the only way we'd get a table was if there was a cancellation. So, I would recommend finding a reservation ahead of time or sitting at the bar, as we did. Our bartender not only crafted amazing drinks, but provided amazing service and menu suggestions. We ordered the "More Rice Please" and their take on a manhattan - 5 out of 5 For food, we ordered the branzino and the bibimbap w/tofu. The fish had deliciously crispy skin and good flavor. The bibimbap with their gochujang sauce was a good balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Both dishes were good but not amazing - 4 out of 5

    I came here with son for a midweek dinner night. The place is more spacious than what it looked like from the outside. The restaurant wasn't even half way full when we arrived but quickly filled up by the time we finished our dinner. The service was great too. Defiantly a "fancy" Korean type place. Not sure if that's what I'm looking for when craving Korean though. Prices were high, dishes were small. They start you off with banchan, which was really good. We ordered their sweet & spicy Korean Fried chicken. These were unfortunate boneless. Although tasty, I would have preferred an actual bone in wings. We also ordered Bulgogi and their Hot Stone Bibimbap. Both dishes were good. Unfortunately the bibimbap came with an overcooked egg. It was very crispy and no egg white? Not sure I'd come back anytime soon.

    Good food, service, and cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere! It's like a Korean BBQ minus the diy cooking. Everything comes prepared from the kitchen. The only downside is that you have to pay for the sauces and lettuce to eat with the meat. In mist korean places those are included. Reservations go fast so it's best to book in advance.

    I've wanted to try Mister Tiger for a while, especially given the limited Korean options downtown. The interior is very lively and modern, and seems like a great place for a moody cocktail. There is a small bar and ample seating. We made a reservation which were available, but it may be difficult to walk in after seeing how busy the restaurant got through the night. The drinks were excellent, and all very refreshing. Food we found a bit more hit or miss. Our favorite was the grilled mushroom. The fried chicken was well flavored but a very small portion, and we found the pancakes to be overly greasy. Docking a star because the pricing here feels a bit out of control. Two people for app, entree and a drink each came out to $200+ which was a bit of sticker shock for the quantity of food you get. Portions are more modest. In general, good addition to the scene but I think there are better Korean options for the price if you're willing to go a bit further from downtown.

    I saw Mister Tiger at an Asian restaurant food event and I really wanted to like this experience given the good reviews and hype. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the expectations. We had one of the last seatings of the night, and maybe this affected the food quality. Starting with the pros: This is a nice restaurant with a lively atmosphere, perfect for a date night or friends dinner. The menu is very streamlined, which takes the mental load off of ordering. The drinks involve interesting Asian twists on well known drinks, such as a Korean "horchata." We enjoyed both drinks that we got. Aesthetically, the food is plated well for social media. Service was as expected. We ordered the galbi jjim, bulgogi, Korean fried chicken, and japchae. This comes with a side of rice and ban chan (sides). The ban chan was good, but the fish cakes were dry and lacked flavor. We thought the meat was overall kind of dry- not egregiously so, but I expected more for the price. The fancy part is that they whittle the vegetables into pretty shapes. The japchae was good, if not a tad sweet. For almost $100/per person, I would probably just go to your local Korean restaurant or market.

    **extremely delayed restaurant week review** We basically ordered the whole menu! Starters: Uni Rice - so delicious! I felt like i naturally wanted more Uni because I love uni; I know they are known for this but honestly idk if it'd order it again because the rice to uni ratio felt like a lot Glazed baby back rib: fall off the bone and delicious! Korean Fried Chicken: PERFECT crunch and breading to the chicken Jeon: the chive pancakes were crispy and not overly oily which I appreciated Mains Galbi Jjim: i love galbi and it did not disappoint Spicy Chicken: again, the chicken was perfectly cooked and the cheese sauce is so yummy. I honestly wish i could bottle it up haha Mushroom bulgogi: i am allergic to mushroom but the rest of the table felt like this was one of the best vegetarian bulgogi's they have had! Hot stone bipimbap: super yummy but idk if i would get this again! Desserts: Banana chocolate cannoli: super yummy and unique Milk Ice Cream Bingsoo: this was our favorite! Felt like a unique sundae The service overall was awesome. Our waiter really took the time to make sure we were well taken care of.

    Mister Tiger - restaurant week 2026 starters: ribs 10/10 fried chicken 8/10 | my ribs literally fell off the bone in the best way you can imagine. it was delicious and tender and started the whole dinner off on a higggggh note. LB's chicken was great and standard for what chicken can be. main: bibimbap 6/10 | I wanted to rate this higher because it SHOULD have been good, but my hot stone bibimbap came out wayyyy too hot. My rice was completely hard on the bottom; teeth cracking hard. My egg was also very browned on the bottom too. The sauce provided was a wonderful addition and like I said this SHOULD have been an 8+. It had a great balance of bibimbap ingredients and looked fresh. LB's dish is photographed and I think he'd probably give it an 8 which is what we will rely on dessert: banana chocolate cannoli 7.5/10 | like a banana cream pudding in a cannoli shell with ends dipped in chocolate. very solid. Could eat 15. drinks: jet lag 8/10 & Cass 10/10 | jet lag is an orange espresso martini. It was quite good. Heavy on the orange and definitely chocolately forward. LB says beer is good Summary: 8/10 I would come back for some of the dishes. This is not a restaurant week menu that leaves you with egregious amounts of leftovers. I appreciate the appropriate portions that lead to less food waste!! Vibe inside is cute with dim intimate lighting. Service was busy juggling a lot of tables.

    Mister Tiger is a 5 star experience from start to finish. Edison lighting and a neon tiger set a vibey mood upon entering the intimate dining room. Each bite of food only adds to my love of this spot for Chicago restaurant week. Food reviews: Banchan set--cucumber kimchi was crispy and nicely balanced with a subtle spice! Potato salad, cabbage kimchi, and fish cakes were all just okay Korean chicken--favorite app of the night! The exterior was crispy without being overly heavy. The sauce also packed a powerful flavor punch without overwhelming the bite. Rice cakes had nice texture to break up bites of chicken. Jeon--beautiful contrast between crispy exterior and silky interior. Could use a flavor boost on its own but was elevated nicely with the chili oil served with it Bulgogi bibimbap--no notes on this dish! Each element added something to the bowl and the crispy rice on the bottom delivered! I loved adding the gochujang to make the spice sing. Banana chocolate cannoli--such a fun flavor combo on a classic dessert. Filling was beautiful, silky and balanced both flavors well

Then I saw the KBBQ menu and all bets were off. I immediately pivoted and ordered the chef's tasting set, the Diweji, featuring pork jowl, pork collar, and pork belly, complete with an assortment of banchan. Zero regrets. And here's the part that should tell you everything you need to know: I am a certified radish hater. I avoid it whenever possible. Yet somehow, I found myself repeatedly reaching for the radish banchan and asking for more. Even the soup - which also featured radish - was absolutely delicious. If Perilla can convert someone who actively dislikes radish into a fan for one meal, that's saying something. The soju was exactly what I wanted with Korean barbecue: crisp, clean, and refreshing. I appreciate that it was neutral rather than overly sweet. The flavored, sweeter versions aren't really my thing unless the food is setting my mouth on fire. Speaking of spice, the wings were good: juicy, well-executed, and satisfying but I kept wishing they packed a little more heat. They weren't spicy at all, and a bigger kick would have taken them from very good to unforgettable. As for the meats, the pork jowl was gloriously rich and fatty, exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The pork collar ended up being my favorite: flavorful, tender, and with just the right balance of meat and fat. The pork belly was comforting and familiar - the classic KBBQ staple done well, with beautifully rendered edges and that indulgent quality that makes it a crowd-pleaser for a reason. The set also came with potatoes that were unexpectedly delicious. My only complaint? It was far too much food for one person. The service deserves its own mention. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The entire meal was delivered with efficiency and a smile, making a solo diner feel completely comfortable lingering and enjoying the experience. What I thought would be a quick happy hour stop turned into one of my favorite meals.

I think that should've been our cue to go, but we stayed and were very disappointed. The service was extremely slow. We had to ask multiple times when it was coming, and when the food finally came out, it was underseasoned and the texture was very off. The seafood pancake tasted deep fried and had chunks of imitation crab. It had the texture of an unrisen focaccia. The soup was tasteless, and the salmon roll was drenched in mayo and eel sauce. They also gave us a "special" hot sauce that tasted like just a mix of sriracha and Tabasco. Small highlights: the ambiance was nice; it seemed clean. Waiter was nice enough. I hate giving bad reviews, but this was quite a shocking meal.

Also, according to my boyfriend, they don't offer to-go boxes, so we tried to finish as much of our food as we could.

Perilla is a tastefully decorated restaurant, both loungey and rich, but still makes you feel like the joint is all for you. You know, 5 star service is such a lost art, it makes you forget how much you miss it when all of a sudden it happens to be right in front of you. Ricardo, our bartender, what a gem. Forget about the perfectly made drinks that were served to us. Ricardo made us feel right at home with his kind disposition and friendly demeanor. But it doesn't just stop at Ricardo. Everyone was absolutely fantastic. We could have been served 7-11 sushi at this point and I still would have left 5 stars. Food time. The kimchi pork dumplings were an absolute flavor bomb and that parmesan broth gave the dumplings a little extra kick that took it to the next level. Plus, I love when the dumpling wrapper has a little chew to it and isn't this soft mush that dissolves in your mouth. The beef fat frites were a nice treat as well. They were not extra or over the top in anyway. But you can tell when something is done well and correctly, just like these fries were. The Premium Steakhouse Set, in my opinion, is all two people need to enjoy this very special experience. All the accompanying condiments were exceptional on their own and could have functioned as their own course. The Japchae glass noodles were a stunner. The real sleeper was the chopped lettuce greens tossed in their chili vinaigrette. Could have eaten 20 bowls of those lettuce greens. Sadly, I forgot the name of our server who cooked and cut our meat for us. She really added to the experience. She expertly prepared our food while maintaining a fun and pleasant conversation with us. The meat itself, my goodness, tender, smoky, quality-forward, and perfect served with the condiments.

Even though I arrived about an hour before closing on a Saturday night, it was still busy, which is usually a good sign. The hostess greeted me right away and told me the wait would only be a few minutes. My server was excellent and made me feel welcome from the moment I sat down. I ordered the Brussels sprouts, the Korean fried chicken, and another appetizer that is admittedly difficult to describe, but it was delicious. Overall, the food was very good. The Brussels sprouts and the other appetizer were the standouts of the meal. The only dish that didn't quite measure up for me was the Korean fried chicken. It wasn't bad by any means, but it didn't have the same wow factor as the rest of the meal. That's really the reason for my three-star rating. Had I skipped the chicken, this easily would have been a four-star experience. The atmosphere, service, and most of the food were excellent. I just expected a little more from what should have been one of the restaurant's signature dishes.

I do wish they'd put sea salt or a homemade seasoning on the fry to up it a bit. Otherwise no complaints. The prices are affordable and the atmosphere is calm and chill. You can go with a friend or bring a book to read. Either way you're in for a treat.

    I love this place so much…read more The service is super sweet. The food is done way right. I know Korean food and this is good stuff. You enter and order at the counter. They serve you the deliciousness. You bus your own table. The things we've consumed: Gogi Burger with Egg - my husband and son's favorite. Bobijoa Fries Seafood Pajeon - the BEST I've ever had. And I've had a ton. Korean Fried Chicken Tocojoa Tacos Yukejang Dukbokee - this is probably the only dish I feel like I can make better at home. It's not horrible. It's actually really good but I wouldn't order it again. All their dishes are yumminess in my tummy. I cannot wait to go back. Even all the way from Indiana. Bathrooms are clean. You have to pay for city street parking. But worth it.

    Big fan of Chef Beverly, so had to check out Parachute Hi Fi when I was in town! Such an awesome,…read moreunique vibe for weeknight dinner! Some street parking available nearby. The space has such a fun, modern interior with records and other music decor lining the small space! Perfect spot for a date or small group. A live DJ was spinning various records during our visit, which I thought would be too loud, but was the perfect backdrop for our great dinner conversation. Staff were friendly, and didn't hang around too much, which was nice! The cocktails and food were the real deal! I had the Pineapple Upside Down Cake cocktail, which I thought would be SUPER sweet, but it was balanced and refined in the best way. Lovely take on a tropical cocktail. We shared the Korean Chicken Sandwich, the Burger, and the Bing Bread. Every single bite was delicious: fun take on a pizza with the Bing Bread, a fresh and light take on a Korean Chicken sandwich, and a deliciously savory burger with all my favorite toppings! The servings were perfect to share, so I'd grab a close friend, order up some drinks and plates, and just take in the chill vibe! So glad we stopped!

    Run to Parachute HiFi! Chef Beverly Kim's recent appearance on America's Culinary Cup made me want…read moreto try her latest rendition of Parachute, Parachute HiFi. It's a more relaxed concept than the OG, serving Korean inspired bar food and inventive cocktails. While I liked the original Parachute, I am obsessed with Parachute HiFi. You must order the bing bread. It's what they are known for, and for good reason. It reminded me of a large doughy pizza roll, in the best way. I was also in love with the tapioca fritters with pepper jelly. The texture of the tapioca fritter was so unique and fun, and the pepper jelly was seriously out of this world. Bottle that stuff up and sell it! Whoever said the ttebokki pad Thai didn't taste like pad thai was wrong - it does and was a satisfying dish that I'd order again! I love twists on a classic and it was so smart to use rice cakes instead of the traditional noodles. The cocktails all sounded amazing, especially having names like pineapple upside down cake and black sesame. They got me intrigued for sure. Both cocktails were well balanced and enjoyable. Can't wait to return to try more from the menu (like that burger!)
