Have been wanting to try this restaurant since last year; finally got the chance this afternoon. Very inviting with all of the colorful, welcoming decor on the outside. Once inside, you are immediately hit with the smell of home cooking with lots of spices in the air. My order included a honey glazed salmon meal that came with mashed cauliflower and green beans. I also ordered the pork chop meal that came with two pork chops, rice with green peas and roasted brussel sprouts. I also ordered a side of cornbread that comes with two small pieces and honey butter. To top the meal off, I ordered caramel cake slices. When I finally made it home and was able to eat, I first noticed how nice the portions were. Enough for two days. Lol. Then I noticed how pretty it was plated in the to-go containers. Just because your order is to-go doesn't mean it can't look good. Anyway, everything was delicious and flavorful. I have lunch for tomorrow. Two things to know; this establishment is carry out only and the have a really cool loyalty program. Sign up, save money off your next purchase.
If you're looking for a southern inspired way to grab lunch or get something for dinner or even something to grab and go while you're on the run, I highly recommend this place. I actually ordered for them twice in one week because it was so good. The catfish sliders. I also got salad from there as well. Me and my walking buddy were out for a walk and by the time we got there, our food was already ready, which was great. Also, this food is super budget friendly with the catfish sliders being $9.99. That is such a deal for fries and two catfish sliders yummy. They have ample dining area but street parking honestly is limited, which is why I feel like people are mostly picking up to go or getting food delivered. A lot of people were talking about them on Facebook in the South Loop group so I had to check them out. You can actually see inside the kitchen where they're cooking stuff too, so there's transparency on that end as well. They they also have other specials such as a chicken sandwich or a hamburger deal for like 5. From salads to gumbo's entrées, such as pasta Alfredo there is everything on this menu. It's owned by the same guy who owns virtue so you know the food is good.
So I need to update this. The Chicken Alfredo is addictive, and I sometimes add shrimp which takes it to another level. Definitely try this! I have ordered from this place so many times now as well as their sister restaurant Virtue. Top-notch food for sure. Other amazing things I've tried are: - gumbo - rotisserie chicken - honey fried chicken - pork chop meal They have not let me down yet. Please don't change that darn Alfredo pasta dish! It's perfect with the right amount of chicken, sauce, everything.
Our kitchen is under renovation and we are sick of takeout, but we decided to grab food from the only James Beard winner from Chicago this year...Erick Williams did not disappoint. We've been to his sit down restaurant, Virtue, but weren't sure what to expect from here. So flavorful and comforting and generous portions to boot! It was delivered nice and hot and we ate until we were beyond full and still had leftovers. This is not your average takeout. I think they only offer to go, but we will absolutely make this part of our regular rotation.
I was extremely surprised by this place! It's mostly carry out but they do have a couple of tables on the mac n cheese side. The portions were big and made with care. The absolute highlight was the chicken gumbo and the cornbread. The cornbread is more cake texture than a traditional cornbread you're used to but it's so good and addicting. The Cajun pasta was also so good! Highly recommend. It was quite quick and tasty.
I thought the Mustard Seed had some great food, I have ordered twice from them, what needs to happen is that who ever owns the mustard seed needs to fire all of his employees, They do not know how to cook, I ordered the honey butter chicken with a Caesar salad and mashed potatoes, this food looked like a kid had been playing with his mother food. I also ordered a Turkey Burger for my mom, the burger was burnt and the cheese looked like an inner tube. I will not be buying or ordering any more food from them. I advise the people please don't eat at the Mustard Seed Kitchen
Had the best time at mustard seed kitchen in south Loop, Chicago IL. Thank you for treating me like a queen ! @midwestmunching on Instagram for more This spot is new, with a takeout concept focusing on everyday eats that are approachable and affordable created by James beard -nominated Chef Erick Williams of @virtuerestaurantchi Got the steak, salmon, rotini shrimp pasta, mixed greens salad, brussel sprouts, fried chicken sandwich, gumbo, corn bread, and chocolate cake Everything was DELICIOUS and cooked perfectly. From time to time, I think about the honey mustard salmon and skirt steak SKIRT STEAK: perfectly grilled with herb relish + super crispy potatoes. HONEY MUSTARD SALMON : comes with asparagus and creamed corn. Delicious ROTINI SHRIMP PASTA: tomatoes + zucchini, onion, asparagus and FILLED with shrimp. Spicy & packed as you can see. Comes with garlic bread MIXED GREEN SALAD: Comes with crispy onion and a vinegrette BRUSSEL SPROUTS : char grilled perfectly, lightly sweet and carmalized GUMBO : not too salty and packed with chicken, andouille sausage, rice & veggies FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH : a signature of theirs, with special sauce, super crispy chicken & housemade spices CORN BREAD - comes with butter, nice and moist and had bits of corn too CHOCOLATE CAKE : super moist and decadent. Really rich and fudgy, which I LOVED They have housemade drinks like southern sweet tea & lemonade. Super fresh and made daily, nothing done overnight The flavors were spectacular! Highly recommend the salmon, steak, fried chicken sandwich, lemonade & chocolate cake!
Solid. Food is always flavorful. Small casual dine-in area but mainly take-out. Order on-line. My regular. My kids love their chicken tenders.
I ordered a cajun fettuccine and ate it like I hadn't eaten in days. And afterwards, I texted my partner to tell her it was one of the best pastas I've had. Mustard Seed Kitchen is Chef Erick Williams second restaurant. If you've been to his first, Virtue, you know what to expect. The food is excellent. It's dinner table plates prepared by grandma, only grandma happens to have a James Beard award. The food at Virtue, and now at Mustard Seed, is comfort food. It has comfort baked in but has a zest of newness; just enough for you to taste the edge of your comfort zone. Unlike Virtue, Mustard Seed is designed for takeout. It's the perfect place to order for delivery while still looking to eat right. I ordered from Doordash. Nearly 20 minutes door-to-door and the food arrived hot. When you order online, you can choose the sauce you'd like. In the description for this dish, it says its made with the creamy tomato and so I didn't venture to change it. I added on zucchini because I like zucchini and needed some extra vegetables. The cajun spices truly transform this dish, it makes the pasta. I tend to like spicy food and expected it to be spicier, but it had just the right amount of kick. I think even if you can't handle much spice, you'll enjoy this pasta. The shrimp was blackened just right; it was so good that I'm tempted to add on extra shrimp next time I order. The serving size is probably just enough for two. I set some aside had and had a healthy portion later. But if I was ordering for two, I'd probably add on an extra side to be safe - this place looks to have some amazing sides. If you knew nothing about this place - no clue who invented the recipes, what the business stood for - you might look at the price while scrolling through the menu and be sticker shocked. $20 for a takeout pasta on Doordash is laughable in Chicago. And this place doesn't even have the excuse that they're charging for takeout what they charge for a dine-in experience, it's a takeout kitchen! However, I encourage you to give it a try if you can. The $5 you'll save ordering a cheaper alternative elsewhere won't come close to what you'll have missed out.

The honey butter fried chicken is everything. The gumbo is delicious. And my wife loves the salmon tacos. We've ordered from here at least 5x and every time the food arrives hot and tasty. Highly recommend. read more
Pleasantly surprised by this place. I was desperate, didn't feel like spending a ton & wanted something relatively cheap. It's extremely simple food but executed well & fast. Something I think south loop desperately needs. It's moderately priced but the menu does have cheap specials & options. For my family of 3 & a half this more than sufficed. I choose the catfish sliders with a side of fries & my daughter ordered simple Mac sans breadcrumbs. They almost lost a star for the Mac but she liked it. The catfish sliders were on the bigger side & the accompanying fries definitely satisfied my grown ass man appetite. They didn't reinvent the wheel with this place but it's an option for the wayward south loop restaurant scene read more
I placed an order of their Jambayala and their Chicken Gumbo. It's essentially a takeout place only, although they do have some tables in there, but seems uninviting and away from the entrance. The food was ready before the promised time and pickup process was smooth. The prices are definitely on the higher said, especially for a takeout only place. They got dine in prices here if you know what I mean. The food was good, which is important but I still felt I overpaid. The jambalaya came with shrimp, chicken, sausage and green & red bell peppers. The rice was cooked to perfection and overall a very properly made and delicious dish. The gumbo came with your traditional chicken and andouille sausage with rice and scallions. The gumbo was flavorful as well? But would have either preferred more rice or the rice to be served on the side so you could add it yourself at home. I would definitely come back for this gumbo. I also bought a caramel cake slice which they get from Brown Sugar Bakery. Definitely a must order. I'm not sure when I'll return, but if I'm ever in this area again, especially in this cold, that gumbo will be the first thing on my mind. read more

This used to be Chef's Luciano and Kitchen and this is from the same owner of Virtue which is in Hyde Park. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ fries. Some of the chicken fillet was too salty but the inside was fantastic. The Lemonade is way too sweet. All for twelve dollars it's worth it. I'll be back for that burger. PS. There doing 15 percent off of everything 'til 10/16. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant and I am underwhelmed with the salad. This southwest chicken salad is missing some flavor. The chicken is not seasoned and if it is, it's lightly seasoned. I have the ends of the iceberg lettuce. For $14, they can at least throw in some romaine lettuce. I don't have a picture of the tomato soup but it was good and hot. I ordered the chopped salad for my daughter. I will update the review when she eats it. So far I am not going to return. read more

I'm at this place now and sad I ordered. They aren't letting customers use their bathroom (I assume they have one somewhere). The staff said they used to be takeout-only, so they don't have a restroom for people that dine in. Also FYI they are adding 2.5% onto the order price (which already isn't cheap). And the place where we ordered was freezing (the dining area was fine). With that said, my salmon was delicious, and I was happy to see several vegetable options as sides. The Brussels sprouts and asparagus were tasty but wet with too much sauce/oil. My friends' fries were good. I'm told the blackened chicken wasn't very blackened and wasn't very spicy. read more

If you want to be served an over priced microwaveable this is your place . Extremely disappointed in the chicken on the Mac and Cheese and I could've just gone to my corner store for the quality and portion size of this . I came on a friend recommendation read more

Had a really good experience at their soft opening a month ago. To be fair, everything was half off, so that may have influenced my opinion. But the burger was a delicious, greasy entree with all the fixins. Pork chops were a solid portion and the sides went well with the dish. Everything came out fast, and hot. Lemonade is the same lemonade that Chef Luciano used to serve. Give this place a chance -- it's a little expensive for takeout but the food is delicious. read more
