Loved this place! We sat outside at 5pm on a friday. We ordered the fried rice, shrimp noodles, kalbi and pork belly. Our favorite was the shrimp noodles. For the drinks, the paloma freeze. It was great! The menu and drink menu had a lot to choose from and theres a food set list that serves 4 people. Service was fast and great! read more

Mott St was specifically chosen as a thank you dinner to feed 2 friends who helped me move (twice a year was not easy). It was special thank you/birthday combo and they deserved something special so a reservation was made. Mott St serves amazing Asian fusion food and an infamous burger which rivals Au Cheval. But the seating process was a bit of a negotiation, if you'll allow me to soon explain. Let me start with everything we devoured between 3 people: THE FOOD: everything wings mott burger bone marrow pork jowl rabbit laap brussel sprouts mentaiko udon oyster mushrooms mango sticky rice (dessert) THE DRINK: dry county flyer sage gemeni icy boy ("icy boy" = slushie) herb laurence julep We feasted. The food was amazing. Creative, understated, an easy Wicker Park gem. My favorite was the mentaiko udon (udon noodles, spicy marinated cod roe, kimchi, seaweed). So many flavors yet still tasting singular. In my attempt to understand umami, the path will be revealed by way of this udon. You must try this place at least once, specifically during the summer on the patio. THE NEGOTIATION: We had an online reservation for a party of 3. I'd recommend coming early, since communal outdoor seating cannot be reserved in advance and you still need to put your name down with the hostess to sit outside. Our wait was a bearable 20 minutes and I ran into some of my sister's friends who were seated outside. The restaurant definitely felt like a neighborhood hub. However, when we were led to our seats at one end of a shared dining table, one seat was a high metal stool at the head of the table. If a grown adult sat there, he/she would tower over everything. It would feel like sitting in a high chair, but with plate by your knees. We each volunteered to sit an in the awkward stool (for a hot second) but then we stared incredulously at each other, quickly realizing this wasn't going to work. I looked back at the greeter, checking if she realized what was going on. We flagged down their staff and they protectively said the normal chairs were all reserved - no switching. So we proposed moving our seating location to the other end of dining table (closer to the wall of the alcove). We continued to advocate for a normal-sized chair for all three of us. They relented, but only after an exchange that doesn't add to their customer service. In sum, if you ask me how the food is, I will say excellent, but my friends and I will always remember that meal preceded by the "seating situation." I hope your dining experience here is negotiation-free :) read more

My friend and I ordered the crispy chili cauliflower, stuffed cabbage, and fire chicken with garlic rice. The cauliflower was to die for, SO tasty! The fire chicken was also delicious but the garlic rice was just okay. 4 stars instead of 5 because they forgot to bring out our the stuffed cabbage until we reminded them. It took 75 min between sitting down and having both entrees on the table (Saturday night). Regardless I will go back! read more

PSA for vegans.... Very average. Beautiful food, flavor was okay. Price relative to portions and creativity was not worth it. Honestly stick to China Town for GOOD vegan meals that don't break the bank! The staff was amazing however and VERY accommodating. read more

We dined at Mott St on a beautiful Chicago Sunday evening, and the patio was the perfect place to be seated. The ambiance was relatively casual and very welcoming, and the food was great. We ordered the imperial rolls, king crab rice, gai lan, udon, stuffed cabbage, and, of course, the burger. While everything was truly delicious, the standout item was definitely the king crab rice. I hope to be back at Mott St soon - it was a great evening! read more

Always a good time here. Big fan of their outdoor seating in the summer, great cocktails, and their kimchi udon is one of my favorite dishes! read more

We googled hipster neighborhood, and chose this restaurant in Wicker Park bc it had congee and other asian influences dishes. We were very hungry and shared the coconut pancakes (very light, surprisingly), a small congee, and the chinese broccoli dish. My friend got the kalbi and eggs, and I got the pork belly benedict. Everything was tasty!!! The congee was the best. The chinese broccoli dish is a bit on the sweet side and nutty, but I liked it. They also had a chopped cauliflower salad, that came with the meal, which was different and yummy. They have this silly dish, that made me laugh..... called the Basic Brunch which is toast, eggs, and your choice of protein. I cant imagine anyone ordering such a plain dish at a place with such an eclectic menu... but someone next to us did. We sat outside, for Sunday brunch. We made OpenTable reservations and the seating was a bit weird... despite open tables.... we were seated right next to two other people.... Despite the weird seating, I enjoyed the food, the restaurant space is beautiful, and we had a wonderful, friendly, and attentive waiter! Highly recommend. Plus it's a short walk from the hipster stores and the 606/Bloomingdale Trail. read more

One thing to remember this place by is AWFUL service. Starting with hostess who clearly cared less about being polite or friendly. We were a group of 10 people and had 2 reservations for parties of 5. Upon arriving to the restaurant we asked if we could be seated at the tables next to each other (there were a few large tables open, some right next to each other). The hostess rudely said no, claiming it's kitchen's requirement to not have us close to each other because there would be too many orders at the same time. So we were placed at 2 tables that were further away from each other. Now, the question is what kind of logic did the hostess or alleged 'kitchen' use since we had reservations at the same time and placed orders at the same time anyway? The table next to us was empty for some time and not reserved for anyone, yet our group was denied table because of food ordering?! I still can't see logic in this. And the worst part was the hostess's rude attitude. Moving on from that, we got our waitress who was actively pushing us to order more and more dishes. She claimed the sizes of dishes were small, and we had to order 3 per person. It may sound reasonable in some places but definitely not here. Dish sizes are not small at all, and you definitely don't need 3 per person. She would go over and over how we should add this dish and that dish to our order, and because of how many times she told us that it really got to the very uncomfortable point. We ended up ordering way too many dishes for what we needed. We were all full and still had full 3-4 dishes on the way. Felt worst than being at the used car dealership. Well, it's not all. The runners delivering food from the kitchen were just quietly leaving the plates on the corner of the table. Without saying what it was, or even announcing they were there. A few times we looked around and here was a dish dropped at the table, without any interaction whatsoever. Very odd. Last reason I would not suggest this place is the lack of any ambiance. It is enhanced with the lack of air conditioning or air flow, making the place very stuffy, humid and just uncomfortable. Okay, food! Food was quite good. Papaya salad was refreshing, crispy chili cauliflower was delicious (it's deep fried, and has sweet & spicy flavors), skirt steak quite good (one of the favorite dishes at this place), brussel sprouts were just good (crispy and with a little bit of sweetness). King crab rice was good, although the amount of crab was very small; the rice itself is cooked in butter and it's very buttery in taste. Garlic shrimp & noodles were good, not anything out of the ordinary. Fire chicken was served in a clay type dish, and looked more like a stew, it seemed quite interesting and was very spicy. The one dish I'd recommend here is the whole fish. Drinks were good, menu had plenty of tropical cocktails to choose from. Considering all aspects of service, place itself, and food I would suggest you find a better place to spend your time and enjoy the food. read more

Been here several times for brunch and every time my belly and soul is happy I came. You get yourself brunch fare that is outside of the box with a beautiful Asian twist and packed with flavor. Recommended: Start with the ricotta toast. Just trust me, alright? I definitely recommend the congee too. For mains ... If you are a carnivor get the burger (I have never ordered it but every burger fan I know has recommended this thing). I did try it and it was unreal. I personally love the pork belly benedict and the beet cured lox salad. Desert ... ricotta donuts or mango sticky rice You're welcome read more

Mott St - Umm ya. That was a dope brunch. Beet cured lox with quinoa rice. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. My friends and I have had many birthday celebrations here. My boyfriend and I actually had our first date here as well. Such a good spot for celebrations or a date as the ambiance and vibes are so ~immaculate~. The burger IS really that good--just make sure you're booking before 7 pm as they only serve it until then. Their menu is ever-changing, but some things they keep consistent and bring back. Here are my favorites. -Burger -Stuffed cabbage (their best dish after the burger) -Whole fish -Imperial rolls -Wok smoked gai lan -Char siu pork belly I've always been pleased by their drinks; they have some very unique ones. Small detail/ random, but I also LOVE that they have Le Labo soap in the bathroom. The first time I dined here, I absolutely freaked out over it haha. read more

I've been to Mott St many times before the pandemic. During the pandemic, we've gotten take out and most recently dined outdoors. Their cocktails and food never disappoint! Today, we made a same day early dinner reservation for 5:15pm. We took our pup and were seated outside. The outdoor space is very nice, pretty big, and there is good shade. Sun protection is super important to us and the pup, especially when it's over 80 degrees outside! To start, I had a Lei Low gin cocktail. It had such a nice color and it was pretty good, sweet and a little sour. I don't usually like gin, but I'd definitely get this again. All of their cocktails look good. Next time, I want to try the Lan Su Sour. It had egg whites in it! For dinner, the two of us shared the oyster mushrooms, chicken kalbi, and burger. We made all the right decisions! The oyster mushrooms were rich and flavorful, the added lemon was a nice touch. I loved the char on the kalbi and the bed of onions were good too. We usually avoid onions, but these were worth the risk. Finally, we had the burger. So good! Double patties, hoisin aioli, pickled jalapeños (!!!!), a little messy, a lot of umami flavor. This is my favorite dish on their menu. I tried it for the first time a month or two ago for take out (it held up well) and I think I'll get it every time in the future! COVID-19 safety details: wore masks when talking to our server and when standing, servers wore masks, one-time use paper menus, never had to go inside, seated far apart from others (we had our own picnic table)! Mott St has a unique spin on Asian dishes. I love the flavors. The dishes are pricier than your average Asian restaurant, but you pay for quality and creativity. We'll definitely continue to come back! read more

Oh Mott St..you've got yourself a fan. I've been here a couple of times and in spite of recommending it to all my friends (to a point that I should be expecting commission any day now), I'm actually really surprised that somehow I skipped reviewing it. I'll get straight to the food Bec that is the highlight - 1. Mott burger - I'm not a big beef or a burger person but this is one hell of a delicious beef burger. Prolly the sexiest mess I've ever made eating this, second to the Kansas City Joes pulled pork burger and that's pretty high on my rating scale. It's juicy from the patty, crispy from the fried sweet potato crisps, tangy from the pickle and umami from the miso aioli. Mini Mott has a smaller $10 version of this but I recommend having this at-least once 2. Shrimp and kohlrabi salad - pretty good, huge candied shrimp which I loved. Crunchy and fresh salad 3. Oyster mushrooms- this is one of my fav dishes in all of Chicago. I have shamelessly licked the bowl till I got to the last drop of that foodgasmic thyme miso butter base. 4. Calamari Bokum - it has interesting textures and acidic underlying flavors but I'm not a calamari person and I could live without this one 5. Baked Scallops - it had a grit to it, I wasn't a huge fan Ambiance- Really small dining tables and seated very very close to one another, It's really easy to eavesdrop. Also dim light but that's nice Burger is available only until certain hours in the dining area (I believe 6.. not sure) and later it's available at the bar but that has pretty limited seating. Parking is easy in this neighborhood Overall a solid spot! read more

We came in to try their burger that I've heard so much about and it was definitely as good as people make it out to be. We also got the Mentaiko Kimchi Udon, which I actually thought was an even better dish than the burger ! The flavor profiles for both were really interesting, and I'd definitely come back to try other things on the menu. We also got the mango sticky rice which was quite different from other places'. The rice wasn't actually sticky which felt like #falseadvertising but it was still really delicious! It almost felt like an elevated cereal -- a little crunchy and just the right amount of sweet and creamy. read more

Came here with my family (party of 5) for Sunday brunch, and we were not disappointed! Our reservation was for 1pm but we had to wait 5-10 minutes to be seated. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to dine here. For our sharables, we ordered the gailan (Chinese broccoli) and the ricotta brick toast. However, we ended up cancelling the toast because all the entrees came out before we got it. The gailan tastes similar to the ones served at the restaurants in Chinatown! FYI it has peanuts so don't order if you have an allergy! 4/5 For the entree, I got the kalbi and eggs (pictured). It comes with three marinated short ribs, two eggs, a salad, and potato hash w/ kimchi. Wish it came with more meat but tasty. 4/5 I would love to come back and try their dinner menu! read more

Mott St - kalbi and eggs - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We've always loved this place and used to come every month or so with friends. But since they reopened it's no longer a place I can recommend. First off, you have to order from an app once sat - sort of a Grubhub like experience except that you're seated in the restaurant. This is extremely impersonal and almost laughable except that you're paying for the experience. The staff that are there used to be informative about the food and enjoyable to interact with. Now they are aloof and almost condescending as they lead you the table from which you'll be ordering from your phone. The food is still fairly good though it, too, has lost some of it's innovation and excitement. By the end of the night we were more confused and angry then well fed. I sincerely hope Mott Street can figure out how to get itself back on track and return to being an exciting, delicious, innovative place to eat. read more

If I could rate this 10 stars I would. The food is SO incredible. Literally every dish we got was better than the next. The burger is DIVINE. Drinks were honestly just okay but I would have the burger as my last meal it's that good. read more

Food is really great! Second time we've been here and will only come if the burger is available. Service could use some improvement as far as timing of drinks and dishes but overall good experience. read more

I came here for my birthday. We made a reservation for right when it opened for dinner. Man, did the place fill up FAST. It was packed 30min into opening. The Oyster Mushrooms in Miso Butter definitely carried the entire dinner for us. Omg. It was freaking amazing. I cannot even describe what goes on in your mouth when you eat it. So much umami flavor. It's honestly so delicious and I never had anything like it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Please order it. It will change your life forever. The Mott Burger was good but I think it just needed more crunch to it for texture. The Scallops were probably our least favorite. Too much panko and needed a lot of lemon. Another issue I had with this place was the seating. I understand that it's a tiny space to begin with...but the tables were way too close to one another. I was seated so close to another couple that my arm was almost touching a strangers. And I could hear their entire conversation so clearly it was unbearably uncomfortable. It's just hard to enjoy your meal and have a conversation with the person your with with someone that close to you. read more

Pro tip: if you can't get a reservation, come 10 minutes before the restaurant opens so you can get the first come first serve seating! Beautiful patio. We were seated right away because we had come right before it opened. It is community seating, though. Our waiter was friendly and quick. I got the "Bae is fierce" cocktail to start, which was super refreshing. We ordered the brussel sprouts, tongue Katsu, and burger. The brussel sprouts are your standard crispy, salty roasted Brussels. Super tasty way to start the meal. The tongue Katsu was soft and chewy, with nice flavors. The winner was definitely the burger. We had to try it with all the hype, and it was worth the hype. It was hearty and juicy, with just a hint of Asian kick to it. We loved this dish! This was enough for two to share, and we were well satisfied with the meal. It was pretty quick too, especially for a busy Saturday night - well done Mott st! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a long time. Had dinner last night with my family. The service was great and the food even better. Nice selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Our favorite dishes were the chicken wings, cauliflower, Skirt Steak, Brussel a sprouts and the a shrimp and noodle dish. The food had a lot of flavor and great for sharing. We finished with the Gingerbread dessert and doughnuts. Both were very good and nice way to end the meal. I don't know how many Cheeseburgers we saw come out of the kitchen. We definitely want to go back for the burger sometime. read more

I ALWAYS bring friends and family here when someone says, "can we go get brunch?" Yes, the concept of a Korean American fusion restaurant ideated by an actual Korean American chef (Edward Kim) makes my inner Asian American sing, but beyond those personal inspirations, the food here is just plain delicious. Meats are marinated to perfection - whether it's Mott St's famous pork jowl, beef short ribs, pork belly - and offer big, bold flavors with signature Korean flavors. I love the korean fried rice because korean fried rice is always delicious, and Mott St's version is no exception. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE HOME FRIES! Everything on the plate is delicious, but if the cook somehow forgot everything but the home fries - potatoes cooked and caramelized with the spicy sweetness of kimchi - I'd probably still be happy. Honestly, just order a separate side dish of these now. Love that Mott St has sticky black glutinous rice with mango. Haven't been able to find it anywhere else in Chicago yet! read more

After reading the Yelp reviews, I was worried that Mott St would be A) too trendy B) crowded and C) not that great. I was most definitely proven wrong. My husband and I came here on a Friday night date night and at around 6:30, there was still some room. We loved everything we tried, including an amazing soft shell crab curry dish that was a special that night. You KNOW you have to get the burger. It rivals Au Cheval's, with a fun fried sweet potato string/pickle-y twist. Our waiter was friendly, efficient and helpful on what to order off their extensive menu. We'll definitely be back! read more

Well, for starters, after our waitress handed us menus she told us that the plates are family style. NOPE! They are small like tapas style. Very small portions for the price. We had EVERYTHING GARLIC SHRIMP & NOODLES. For $32 you'd expect a bit more than 4 undercooked shrimps on some pasta. The flavor was just ok. Then we had the CHAR SIU PORK BELLY at $26 which, it too was overpriced and small but tasted pretty good. To drink we both had a BLUSH CRUSH for $15. They came in a small juice glass with no trace of detectable alcohol. NOPE! If you want to spend a bunch of money and not be satisfied, this place is for you. read more

Amazing food. Everything we ate was perfection! The server did accidentally give our food to the table next to us so we had to wait a long time but it was worth it. read more

I LOVE Mott St. I came here in a group of 3 for a birthday dinner and had a great time -- the outdoor patio area is lovely! It took us a while to figure out what to order because everything on the menu sounds delicious -- but with our (very kind) waiter's help we narrowed it down to the bread, brussels sprouts, crispy tofu, kimchi & oaxaca empanadas, gai lan, and kimchi udon. I'd recommend all of it, but my favorites were the gai lan (it's marinated in this super yummy oyster sauce) and kimchi udon (it's creamy and the flavor is very unique). We couldn't stop talking about how good the food was, even while we were eating. The 6 plates ended up being the perfect amount for the 3 of us. The servers spaced them out well so that there weren't more than 3 on the table at once and we could take our time eating. We made a reservation earlier that day, which seemed like a good idea judging by the amount of people that were there at the same time. But if you have to wait, it's worth it! read more

So so happy any time I get to stop by Mott & get this burger. Worth all the hype in my opinion. They bring an Asian flare to the burger and entire menu that is so special. Such a treat for brunch! read more

Overpriced and flavors are not balanced. The good thing was that the drinks were strong. I ordered the green tea gimlet and char siu pork belly. My green tea gimlet was worth the money (even though I will say I'm not the biggest fan of the sugary and celery touches). The char siu had good texture, but it's evident they did not marinate the meat long enough with five spice. It might have helped to also slice the meat in more manageable slices to make it more sharable. It was heavy on the soy/salt and lacked dimension other than salty and sweet. The kale/chard greens were cooked nicely, just wish the sauce had more to give with it. read more

This would be a 2 for egregious pricing and poor appetizers, but it is saved by the superb service of our waitress. The hostess is a bit rude and greeted us by sharply announcing that we would "have the table" for 90 minutes from the start of our reservation time (rather than 5 mins later when we arrived) and that, to reiterate, we would therefore "have the table until *time*". This despite the fact that there was virtually no one around who would "take" our table from us - dozens of empty tables at this particular time on a weekday so the "greeting" is unnecessary. Waitress however was fantastic, made good recommendations and was very attentive, checking in multiple times and eagerly clearing plates and tidying the table. Responsible for this being 3 stars instead of 2. Honestly I would happily give this place a flat 2.0 with no compunction if it wasn't for her. This place will take you to the $$CLEANERS!$$. An Old Fashioned was priced at $20! The whisky in question is not even, as it is implied to be, worth its weight in gold. It's Suntory Toki Japanese Whisky (Beam), which is about $40/bottle and middle shelf whisky! The appetizers are $10, which sounds reasonable until you realize the portions are for a dollhouse and they're terrible! only a few ingredients, and for some reason they decided one on the "papaya" salad (their air-quotes not mine) should be these creepy miniature prawns that still had eyes on them. Never seen this ever before. Not usually prepared this way. They were trying to do something different and the best laid schemes gang aft agley. The entrees were also too pricey. The imperial rolls were yummy, though small - only 4 half-rolls - they spruce up the plate with lettuce, sprouts, basil, and other inexpensive "distractions" to obscure the fact that you are getting less than 2 springrolls but being charged $14. Shrimp noodles good, shrimp marinated and cooked eh. Wings were phenomenal. Messy but phenomenal. By far the best and most substantive especially relative to the price. I would get two orders of wings. Paying this bill will make your good spirits sink like a rock in the hudson. $65 a person pre-tip for 2 people w just apps (no mains) and one drink each, I was pretty surprised. Had we gotten the recommended number of plates, it would have been $80 a person. You also have to order ALL at once (another really weird policy that most places have long abolished this far into covid!) For $90, I can feed 3 people at Sushi San and get better quality. If you find yourself at Mott St, keep driving! read more

Unfortunately, the hype has led me astray. IMO, Mott St did not live up to the hype surrounding it. Went for Friday night dinner with a friend. First, there's nothing special about the ambiance. We were sat outside in the patio at a communal table (which is not my favorite thing, but I won't count it against them). I was very underwhelmed by my surroundings, but thought that the unassuming environment may be a front for amazing food. I was wrong. Since the menu is based on family-style meals, we ordered several dishes. Out of everything we ordered, the pork belly was the only one I truly enjoyed. Every thing else was either flavorless (I have no idea how you can make garlic fried rice flavorless), plain, or misleading given the description. The famous Mott St burger was just ok. A couple positives -- service was very kind and attentive; also, the mezcal palomas were very tasty read more

Had a reservation on a weekday and had to update the number of people in our group a few times and the restaurant was very accommodating. The food was decent, but a bit overpriced. The udon and steak were my top two favorites. Felt a bit hustled as our server told us we should order 2-3 dishes per person. We ordered 2 dishes per person and it was waaayyyy too much food! We could have done without 1-2 dishes and been completely fine. I probably won't come back again but would recommend that you try it at least once! read more

Probably one of the best burgers, if not the best burger, of my life. Keep in mind, however, the burger is only offered 6-7 pm unless you eat at the bar. Otherwise, the stuffed cabbage is a dream. Doesn't sound amazing on paper, but think of the most decadent, amazingly textured Asian lasagna if possible. Delicious. The fried tongue was good, but if coming for the first time I wouldn't get this--definitely at least get the burger or stuffed cabbage. Service was great. Not great dessert options but hopefully you'll be full by that time with all of their amazing savory options. Hard to just walk in due to how popular this place is. Try to make a reservation. read more

Really delicious Asian fusion food for a great price. I'd recommend coming in a pair to split the plates. Highly recommend: the mott street burger and the tipsy noodle! We also tried the brussel sprouts and the grilled cauliflower, but if you had to choose two, go with the former. Great patio seating, nice bar, convivial environment, wonderful waiters and waitresses. No pretense, very helpful and efficient. Love that their take on Asian food. For example, the burger patty reminded me of a dumpling filling! Would recommend and come again! read more

I'm sad to leave this review because I had been very excited to visit this place. Overall, my experience was really poor in this restaurant. I went there with my family (party of 6 people). Before they sat us at our table, they told us that each table only had 90 minutes. This would have been fine except that our food took FOREVER! All of the dishes there are meant to be shared plates. We ordered 12-14 plates. The food came at odd time intervals that didn't make much sense. They served 1-2 plates, we would finish them, and then we would wait another 10 minutes for the next plate to come out. At one point, there were six of us sitting at the table and they served us one small dish. It was the only plate on the table for about 10 minutes. Six people sharing one tiny plate is mighty awkward haha. At the very end of the meal, the server finally brings our last dish which was the fish (it was delicious). The fish had been on the table for maybe 5 minutes when the waitress came over to tell us that we could only stay for 10 more minutes. Lastly, I tell the waitress that she had forgotten our cauliflower dish, so she goes into the kitchen to check. She comes out and tells us that she took the cauliflower off the bill, handed me the bill because our time was up, and then told me that she added 20% gratuity on there due to having a party of over 5 people. Haha it was a SUPER weird experience. Not what I was planning for a night out with my family. The food was good, but the experience was frustrating and unorganized. I wouldn't go again. read more

Some really great food. Loved the cauliflower, papaya salad, and gai lan. Comforting and a little challenging. Funky hip environment. Some disappointments tho. The "everything" noodles didn't pop with flavor the way most other things we had. It tasted like something I'd make for myself at 2 in the morning... certainly more technique than I have and better ingredients than I would use... but it didn't add up to more than a bowl of noodles. And for 32$ I found that pretty frustrating. We ordered about six things (not including dessert) and we got four things at once at our two top. There wasn't enough room at the table to eat comfortably. I wish they had coursed things out. I think I would have appreciated things a lot more if we got things one or two at a time. We ordered the mango sticky rice and I don't know what I was expecting but it was EXTRAORDINARY. An amazing concert of clashing tastes, textures and temperatures. Don't skip it. It was so delightful I'd return based on that dish alone. Everything was generally really expensive for the portion. It was mostly excellent but the dining experience didn't really seem to warrant the price? read more

Overall: Great spot (and patio) for some casual tasting yet slightly upscale Asian cuisine. The good: The food overall was tasty and there were plenty of options to choose from. Our table got a lot of small plates and a few large ones, and I don't think any dishes were disliked by anyone. Pretty awesome patio, especially considering it's right off Ashland. I was worried it'd be too loud, but it's not. Very cool atmosphere and art. Service was friendly and helpful. The not-so-good: Where's the fusion? Nothing seemed too out-of-the-ordinary Asian cuisine wise other than the burger. I get that they were small plates/tapas, but the "large" portion of rabbit that we got could've been bigger. The food didn't have a "wow" factor Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Food: 8/10 read more

Ashland is a street that goes on forever. It has many personalities between cross streets. At Blackhawk and Ashland is a one-story building with a side lot. This is essentially Mott St. The external eating area is inviting with well-constructed roof and nice waitstaff. I ordered a Radler with bee pollen and a Hibiscus Spritz which were tasty. We then ordered family-style Everything Garlic Shrimp Noodles, Crispy Chili Cauliflower, Oyster Mushrooms, Garlic Fried Rice, Imperial Rolls, and a Mott Burger with Egg. Four people ate these and we were sufficiently full. This place has good service, good atmosphere and very good cuisine. It is well worth the trip. read more

Went here for dinner on a Sunday, and they were pretty busy. Their outdoor patio is a cute space. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. 5 dishes was more than enough for two people! Highly recommend this p Wok-smoked gai lan: flavorful, especially if you enjoy eggplant! Calamari ceviche: tasted very fresh and lite. Had some spice to it. One of our favorites. Fried rice: simple yet delicious, had an unexpected shrimp or crab flavor to it (which we liked). Imperial Rolls: roll itself was very tasty; a little difficult to assemble, and I would've enjoyed having more of the rolls instead of the lettuce! Great dipping sauce. Everything Wings: these were fantastic. Spicy kick to them, but the sauce was amazing. It paired well with the tzatziki. Southern Song Sour & Toku Highball were great. read more
