    Quaint and bright restaurant with a twist on classic Vietnamese dishes. The slap yo mama crab fried rice was really good. The jumbo prawn dish was my favorite, the sauce was sweet and perfect with the rice and refreshing salad. The shaking beef was tender and the bone marrow fried rice was seasoned well. The servers were attentive and the food came out quickly. Definitely worth a try!

    Shaking Beef

    We popped our Michelin cherry by trying Sochi and what an incredible place. The ambiance is classy but inviting. I highly recommend you make reservations to make sure you get a table. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. The shaking beef was perfectly cooked - so tender and delicious. I enjoyed the bone marrow rice that came with it. The Slap Mama fried rice was also delectable - the crab really adds that special something to the dish. The vegetable curry actually tasted like home. So much TLC is taken by the kitchen, it's so delightful. There were a few dishes that were sold out, but we are MORE than willing to go back again to try them. Sochi was such a special treat! Thank you.

    Grilled Betel Beef

    Wow, so glad I finally tried Sochi! It's a beautiful space and the food is incredible. My party and I shared four appetizers and four entrees. Each and every one of them was outstanding. Highlights included the Grilled Betel Beef, Deboned Chili Salt Chicken, Slap Mama Crab Fried Rice, and Shaking Beef. We enjoyed several bottles of wine with our meal, and pricing for everything was a great value. Service was excellent all night. The only dud was dessert: we shared the cheesecake, which really wasn't that good. Still, I'm giving this place five stars. Also of note, the bathroom is clean and beautiful. Can't wait to become a regular here!!!

    I was a little suspicious about this place at first. But after eating here, I have to say I absolutely loved it! The cocktails were so good... I got something with espresso in it and it was good but slightly too sweet for my liking. My friend got this spicy cocktail and that was super delicious; I wanted to bite into the Thai chili so badly but my spice tolerance decreased since I just got back into the states from Italy and Spain. My friend got one of the salads and that was good. The nuoc mam/nuoc cham was super yummy with the salad. I got the Thit Bo Kor/kow and that was super good; reminded me of how my parents make it. The service was super fabulous. The staff was so sweet and kind... I recommend having a reservation before going here but I am so thankful they were able to squeeze me and my friend in last minute when we walked in. The ambiance was super trendy; the space was bright and bigger than I expected. Great for dates or having dinner with a few friends. Overall, I highly recommend coming here!

    Short Rib Clay Pot (Fri and Sat Special)
    Alison O.

    This was my first time here and I was blown away! I've tried a lot of Vietnamese restaurant, but the dishes here had their own twist and are packed with flavors and so addicting. You will have trouble stopping yourself from wanting to lick the plates clean! We got the chicken wings, pho, and short ribs. The wings were crispy and coated with a deeply savory sauce. The crunchy fried garlic and the thinly sliced celery added another dimension of flavors. The pho's broth is so clean and clear, yet so rich and comforting. Our favorite was the short ribs -- omg each bite just melted in your mouth. It was a satisfying ratio of lean and fattiness while the meat and daikon soaked up all the flavors from the rich broth. I totally get why they would include bread on the side; I absolutely used them to sop up all the meat juices and broth. By the end of the meal, there was only about half a cup of short rib broth left, and I took it home anyway to eat it with rice! I will definitely have to come back to try more dishes! The service was great! The atmosphere was very modern and cozy!

    TLDR: DEFINITELY WELL DESERVED MICHELIN BIB. It's my new fave. We came here for dinner on a double date and literally everything was tasty! We ordered 8 or 9 dishes (a combo of starters, salad, and mains) for the 4 of us and it was a little too much food but we still ate it ALL. *burp* Definitely get the Slap Yo Mama Crab Fried Rice, the Short Rib Claypot (available on Fridays and Saturdays only), and the Spareribs!! I could've had 4 or 5 of those spareribs it was so good. The lemongrass and fish sauce marinade is finger-licking good! There's some serious umami in the crab fried rice that just makes you wanna keep eating it--and that's exactly what I did. Every bite was nice and crabby. The Short Ribs in the claypot were so tender and flavorful. The toasted baguette they give you for dunking in the broth was the perfect touch. The egg rolls were solid but most egg rolls are. The Pho was super warming and comforting but not everyone thought it was worth the $25. (Also, Phodega is my go-to joint for copious amounts of yummy pho for less than $20.) The service was fast and friendly and the ambience is modern minimalist chic. There are a lot of house plants which give welcoming vibes.

    Service was amazing. The attention to detail that the owner and staff had was great. The atmosphere was great. My fiancé and I sat at the bar so we could see how everything was being made. I can't stop thinking about the fried rice and chicken.

    I recently dined at Sochi Saigonese Kitchen in Lakeview, Chicago, and it's safe to say this spot has earned a place in my heart. The decor is welcoming and upscale. We started with spring rolls, a refreshing and light appetizer, and the original egg rolls, served with fresh mint and lettuce and a dipping sauce. The egg rolls were amazing. It's no wonder it is one of the most popular menu items! For my main, I ordered tonight's special--Sun Rice, served with an egg on top of rice and pickled vegetables and an egg quiche. Normally, I order the Duck Salad with banana blossoms, and there's a reason I continue ordering it! I love the tender duck with crispy skin so much! The special was excellent this time as well. I tasted my husband's Shaking Beef, and it was full of flavor! He also likes the Slap Mama crab fried rice. We concluded with the Coffee Flan, mm, it was so good. Think delicious iced coffee plus creamy flan. My husband and I had the pleasure to meet Chinh, one part of the husband-wife team behind Sochi, and her passion for the restaurant was clear. This is a labor of love, and it shows. Thanks for an excellent meal!

    Sochi Wings
    Yining D.

    I can see why this is restaurant is Michelin rated. All the food was flavor packed, fresh and delicious. The plates that the food came out on were shipped from Vietnam by the owner and I loved all the detail on the bowls and plates. Service was friendly and food was brought out at a surprisingly fast pace. Standouts for me were the spring roll, the chicken wings, and the crab fried rice. The chicken curry wasn't as strong in the curry flavor and it didn't impress me as much as the other dishes. But the chicken was tender and the presentation was really great. The original spring roll was so fresh! I loved the basil and the peanut sauce. Everything went so well together. The soshi chicken wings was perfectly crispy, juicy and tender. The green sauce went so well with the celery garnish. The crab fried rice had large chunks of crab was was flavor packed but not overwhelming at all. I loved the bites of shrimp and fish eggs with the rice. There's plenty of paid street parking around the area. Unfortunately there was only 1 women's bathroom to serve the whole restaurant, but there was lots of floor space with lots of tables. I loved the open kitchen concept where you can see the chefs work and prepare the food. Thanks for a great dinner!

    I loved Sochi Saigon Kitchen and give it a 5/5 stars, and let me tell you why: First, the ambiance is extremely refreshing. Nestled just south of Wrigleyville, the open-aired atmosphere of Sochi with the smell of sweet Vietnamese food is so nice and enjoyable. In regards to the service, our waitress and the owner of Sochi were so welcoming towards us the entire night as they answered all of our questions as guests from LA who wanted a quality dining experience. Since we were there on a Friday, I did the short-rib claypot special which is only served on Friday and Saturday and it was BOMB. The stew broth was unreal in my opinion, and being able to dip the baguette into it was heavenly. This place is a must try if you are in Chicago.

The staff was super attentive and kind, checking on us frequently. My friend and I stopped by for happy hour, and this should absolutely make it onto the list of the best in town. They have delicious wine, cocktails, and bites for nearly half of the regular price. I opted for the happy hour prosecco to drink, which was light-bodied and not too sweet. We split the meatballs and dates for bites and both were outstanding. I was super impressed with how tender the meatballs were, and they did not skimp on the flavorful marinara and cheese! The dates, which were topped with a white wine cheese sauce, were mouth-wateringly delicious and a must order. There was also complimentary focaccia with olive oil, which was greatly appreciated. With sea salt on top and a crispy exterior, I could easily have eaten a whole loaf. The only note I have is that the portions are small, so if you don't come during happy hour the prices are a bit steep for what you get. Will 100% be back soon to try more of the menu and highly recommend making the trek over here!

I opted for the shakshuka focaccia and the baklava, both of which came highly recommended. Unfortunately, the focaccia came out slightly burned and the soft-boiled egg in the center was definitely hard boiled and dry. I wished there was a bit more flavor with the spices and sauce as well, but the bread itself was fluffy. The baklava, however, was buttery perfection and among the best I've ever had. It's also possibly the sweetest dessert I've ever tasted, so a little goes a long way. Definitely glad to have gotten to give this spot a try- the food menu looked really interesting, so I would return to give it a try.

    Chicago Restaurant week. I reviewed various dining options in search of a good place for dinner…read more Reddit gave me some ideas. I'd never been to Willow Room and liked that they had a four course dinner menu, with items I liked. I was able to make a reservation for a Saturday night at 8:15pm. PARKING Parking on Halsted on a Saturday night can be a nightmare, and it did take a minute to find street parking. North of the 1800 block is busier because there are several restaurants within a two block radius. Side streets are permit parking after 6pm. Meters on Halsted are $2.50/hr. ATMOSPHERE Willow Room was pretty packed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and my party of two was seated right away. The restaurant features a full bar, dim lighting and is nice and roomy. They have banquette seating around the perimeter, in addition to tables in the middle. SERVICE Our server, who was very nice and accommodating during our dining experience, came by and gave us our menu's. I had already decided on the RW menu and after review, my friend was interested in the Beef Wellington (not on RW menu). Our server informed us that normally the whole table had to order off of the RW menu if one person does, but said she would check with the kitchen since this was the last day of RW. Luckily, we were able to proceed with ordering from different menu's. FOOD I ordered a raspberry Cosmopolitan. I'm a Riesling/Moscato girlie, but I tasted the Riesling and didn't like it. RW dinner was priced at $60. I ordered: First Course: Caesar Salad (Typical salad, was good) Second Course: Mussels (Tasted fine, came with a baguette) Third Course: Short Rib (Could've been slightly more tender and better seasoned. I've definitely had better. Wouldn't order again.) Fourth Course: Orange Ricotta Donuts (Donuts were very good. Three were served, a few more would have been more filling.) My friend ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and: Truffle Fries (Fries were very tasty. I would order again if I went back.) Beef Wellington (The breading was buttery and very good. The beef could've been more seasoned. I wouldn't order.) Key Lime Pie (Was not sweet and had no taste. When our server came back and saw it was uneaten, she offered to take it off the bill. It should be removed from the menu altogether.) The busboys and server were very attentive. Our water glasses were always filled. OVERALL The atmosphere was nice, our server was great. Of all the food we ordered, I would order the truffle fries and Cosmopolitan again. I did leave full and did take my leftover Short Rib to go. Main dishes needed more seasoning. I would dine here again and try a different menu (brunch/lunch), or Happy Hour if they offer it.

The decor is very low light, but the vibe is pretty basic - more Paint Your Dorm Room black than Parisian Opium Den black. A bit of a missed opportunity for romance.
