Found the place quite charming and inviting. I tried the potato varenyky, chicken Kiev and stuffed cabbage. It was quite different from others I have tried at Polish restaurants. I found it not as heavy but left the restaurant quite stuffed. I enjoyed the traditional flavors of each dish and visually they were pleasing to see when the plate was placed in front of me. I will definitely go back and next time I will have to try their borsch! read more

Stopped by for lunch, and we were so glad we did! Everything we ordered was amazing. Varenyky, Lviv chicken, potato pancakes, and sour cherry varenyky were immaculate. Coming from Polish and Ukrainian families, we were thrilled to discover this place and will definitely come back with friends. Ambiance smelled like home. read more

I came here with a friend to support and enjoy the Ukrainian culture, and dinner here might just be one of the best meals I've ever had. We started with Borshch soup (spelling on purpose). I had the vegetarian option, and my friend had it with pork--both served with sides of green onion, sour cream, and pumpernickel bread. Next were Crispy Potato Pancakes--four large, perfectly formed cakes served with sides of mushroom sauce and sour cream. I had the Stuffed Cabbages, and my friend had the Crispy Pork Schnitzels. The Stuffed Cabbages were more filling and flavorful than I'd anticipated. Both entrees were served without any sides but large enough to be considered enough for an entire meal. We ordered Parmesan Curly Fries and Crispy Potato Wedges--way too much after all the pre-entrees. One order of Crispy Potato Pancakes is enough for two people. We only needed one side for two people, and I would suggest the Parmesan Curly Fries. This is a gorgeous place to have dinner. After dark, the lighting and decorations make this a glowing jewelry box filled with an eclectic mix of Ukrainian cultural artifacts. Not to be missed are the corridors filled with memorabilia. This is not an inexpensive restaurant, and you can drop some serious money if you add cocktails. Speaking of cocktails, the "Wheel of Fun" featuring four flavors of infused vodkas, is served on a miniature Ferris wheel. Note: their website has an older menu; the current menu features fewer items and slightly higher prices. Parking is scarce in the area; the #66 CTA bus is a good option, and the trip from Michigan Ave to Leavitt is a 20- to 25-minute ride. The Blue Line's Chicago station at Milwaukee, that connects with the #66 bus, is east about a mile and a half. read more

We LOVED this meal- omg even the tweens gobbled up everything! I thought stuff like chicken skewers & burger would be boring but they were really tasty. I would love to eat the potato pancakes like DAILY. Tart cherry vodka was fabulous too. Was a little bit of a wait to get in on weekend. Staff were friendly, prices very reasonable. We parked about a block away free on street. Definitely on our list to return again! read more

Stopped in on a Sunday mid-afternoon and was seated immediately. The minute you walk in you feel as if you are entering a European restaurant. The décor is authentic and even the tables have written bits of historical information. My husband had the borscht soup and the beef goulash. I had the chicken paprikash. Both the goulash and paprikash were served a bowl with bread. They were very much a hearty soup. Each included potatoes and vegetables in a thick, rich sauce. They were vert filling and authentic. They were served on china , not traditional Ukrainian china, but a variety of colors and styles. My husband had a Ukrainian beer and I tried an apple cider. Of course, we had to try a dessert. Our waiter suggested the chocolate cherry cake. It was good, but the waiter was so passionate about it , I think I expected more. We truly enjoyed an authentic Ukrainian meal. read more

Very unique design with a personal touch makes you come back to discover more details. But we love this place not only for the atmosphere but great food and house infused vodka (clever flavor which you can pair to the food). Everything on the menu is good - our personal favorites are assorted pierogi, salo, cherry varennyki and honey cake!. The service is fast and staff is very friendly. read more

First off customer service/greeting is not the best. Me along with three different other guests that entered was not greeted or acknowledged. But I rate the food not on customer service. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered two drinks. Mine was the vodka soda, and my bf had a beer. Both was great but I can't remember the names. Everything ordered was delicious but my favorite was the cabbage roll. I might order this entree with every visit but def want to try everything else on their menu. Their menu is small but just enough selections. read more

I took some friends visiting Chicago here and we all loved it. It was our first time trying Ukrainian cuisine and everything was so tasty. I especially really enjoyed the party platter of pierogis or varenyky. It was colorful each bite was full of flavors. We also opted for the wheel of fun and tried a lot of fun flavors. Wild blueberry basil and pomegranate vanilla were incredibly pleasant. I'd not recommend horseradish read more

One of the most fun nights out we've had in awhile! The tables were all booked when we arrived, so we sat at the bar. Initially stoic, we eventually were able to chat up the bartender and get a few smiles out of him. We ordered the banosh and beef goulash. The banosh were crispy with a creamy center and the goulash was flavorful, but could have included more meat. I ordered the bayraktar cocktail and it was delicious! We also tried a infused cherry spirit and it was refreshing. Go ahead and support this local restaurant. You won't regret it! read more

Delicious food. Beautiful presentation and atmosphere. Excellent service. This will be a traditional stop when we're in Chicago.

Ordered delivery from Tryzub tonight and had a good experience, expect from the GrubHub delivery. Ukrainian food isn't a cuisine I'd ever had, but since moving to this neighborhood, I've been wanting to try it and finally got the opportunity tonight. First of all, the gentleman on the phone was great. Although I ordered from grub hub, I talked to the restaurant beforehand, because I wanted to confirm some of the vegetarian items on the menu. Very nice and helpful person. We tried a bunch of menu items and got a nice broad tasting of various dishes. All good stuff. I think in general the cuisine is lightly flavored and I would've anticipated that from what little I do know. I do applaud the number of vegetarian menu items they offer. Thanks for the good stuff. As per your delivery partner... Grub hub is a disaster. The delivery status kept showing pending and little did I know, the guy just left our order outside. No call, text, knock, nothing... It's was ~20 degrees outside today so you can imagine the food was cold by the time I figured this all out. I called GH and they said they'd take care of this, but let's see. To end in a positive, I'll come back to the restaurant itself. Thanks guys for being a great local option. read more

Interesting atmosphere, friendly service, yummy food. We had a great meal at this place. We went for Ukrainian to try something that we were less familiar with and we left very happy and satisfied. Sometimes you can just tell that food is made with care, and that came through with all of the dishes I tried at Tryzub. The food was comforting and yet it had a bit of modern flare. Seasoning and execution both on point. I'd definitely come back to try more. Come with friends to order as much as possible and share. read more

We really enjoyed the food at Tryzub Ukrainian Kitchen. It felt authentic, and the flavors were comforting and delicious. There are some mixed reviews on here, but it might just depend on what you order. We got the veggie options, and they were fantastic. read more

This was my first Ukaranian for experience and I was blown away. I loved their interior design which I thought it was perfect for any occasion - authentic, cultural, romantic and homey. We ordered fish trio which came with herring, salted salmon and salmon pate. The plate was beautifully presented and it was a great starter. The white pierogis had the potato and cheese filling and served with fried pork belly and caramelized onion- it was very savory but not greasy. Goulash in a pot came with braided steak and veggies with paprika saucy which had a rich and intense flavor, meaty but not greasy. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate coffee Walnut torte. The multiple layers was made almost entirely of ground walnuts that came with chocolate coffee filling and strawberry jam on the side. This dessert was phenomenal! Very nutty and chocolaty but not overly sweet. The jam goes very well with the cake which made my pallet dance. We also tried their beer flight and Ukaranian Manhattan which were all delicious. Our server was attentive. I felt welcomed and completely satisfied with our meal. Can't wait to come back to try many more dishes! read more

Solid as far as Ukrainian restaurants. Cool vide, great service, delicious food. I'll be back the next time I need good vodka.

Excellent food! So many incredible flavors! My friends and I shared several dishes to be able to fully experience the food. No disappointments! We also order the famous amber wine. It's unbelievable! Unlike any wine I've ever had! Definitely recommend it! The ambiance is so wonderful and our hostess was delightful! Would definitely go again! read more

Really cool spot, it feels like a very authentic Ukrainian restaurant like a high-end place I expect in Kyiv or Lviv.

I wanted to try out one of the traditional Ukrainian restaurants in Ukrainian Village and was not disappointed. I wasn't very familiar with Ukrainian food but the menu had good descriptions of the items and everything was delicious! We had the pierogi platter which I would highly recommend because you get 4 different kinds. The mushroom soup was a very tasty and a large portion. We also had the polenta balls which were much bigger than anticipated and perfectly cooked. There is a lot of history around the restaurant but my favorite part was all of the food prices are important dates in Ukraine's history and around the outside of the menu it tells you what happened on the dates. read more

Came here for dinner when a friend and I were in town during the summer. When you first enter the restaurant, you're hit with their amazing decor - a wonderful mishmash of Ukrainian folk with modern kitsch. We got there a little close to their closing times, so there wasn't a wait and we were attended to and served immediately. Their menu consists of traditional Ukrainian fare, with modern twists, and they have quite a list of distilled and flavored vodkas. My friend and I shared an order of their colorful platter of varenyky, and I also got an order of their vegetarian borshsch, while my friend got an order of their stuffed cabbage. My friend also got on of their flavored vodkas, while I abstained. Our food came out promptly, and we both really liked everything, from the presentation of our dishes, down to most importantly, the flavors of our dishes. We were both really glad to have come by here, and would gladly recommend it to anybody who happens to be in the area and is hoping to seek out some good Ukrainian eats. read more

What an amazing experience at this gem spot. I truly loved our time at Tryzub Kitchen. The staff were terrific and decent. I had their potato pancakes and they were great. I also ordered the seasonal pumpkin chicken paprikash and she absolutely loved it. For dessert I got a chocolate walnut tart which was amazing. Overall phenomenal experience but hope their staff will answer the question next time ask by their customers. I would highly recommend and would love to come back. read more

Got a chance to visit Tryzub yesterday, was very excited because I'm Ukrainian and already had some expectations about Ukrainian cuisine. Overall, very very beautiful and cozy atmosphere inside. Restroom design is fun. Ukrainian music, books, historic details, symbols, like little museum of my country, was impressed. But from this point, that was the last advantage, and the only one reason why I put this rate.. Service was questionable, no communication with customers, no hospitality like even it would be in Ukraine. Just like in a low cost cafe, but that was a surprise for me, because Tryzub has nice reviews in general, with what I have no idea how it happened. Very disappointing. About food, it's not bad, but for those who knows at least a little bit about Ukrainian kitchen, it's different. Moreover it's overpriced. Got Varenyky with cherries, for 14$ I have got whole 7 little peaces. Also they were served with "chocolate drops", that were killing the flavour of varenyky at all. It was a cheapest clear sugar glaze. I don't know why you add them to this dish, It makes no sense for me. it.I didn't like it. Also ordered a borzch, which was not that bad . I ordered with meat one, but again it was just 3 little peaces of pork, with what I have again no idea how it connects with price 8$. Also too much beet. Also tried Cheburek (9$) that's was very tasty and I would truly enjoyed it if it would be a little bit more meat inside. The sauce was great. Ordered a glass of cola zero - 4$ Kvass - 5$ (very good one), which by the way our waitress didn't ask whether we want to open it now and just put an opened bottle on the table. Again as for me, the price has no connection with dishes. After e The most interesting part at the end, when our waitress Vasylysa, after we payed, came and asked me why didn't I put tips, without asking impressions about food, cafe, service. I almost didn't say anything to her, because she has no interest about it, my response was that you can see the review later. So I do not recommend Tryzub, very sad because of service quality. Also highly overpriced. read more

My husband and I moved to UKV about 3 years ago and I can't believe it took us this long to try this place. We were able to grab seats at the bar on a Saturday night (every table was full) and ordered a wheel of vodka (yes you read that correctly). They have a whole menu of house-infused vodkas and they were all amazing! The dragonfruit habenero was my fave. For an appetizer we got the fried varenyky (incredible) then ordered the schnitzel and cabbage rolls for dinner. Both were delicious, but I'll be back specifically for those cabbage rolls! Cant wait to try more on our next visit (and of course more cabbage rolls). read more

We enjoyed our brunch so so much. There is a mix of new foods and flavors with some breakfast standards for the traditional. We ate every last bite of our entrees and then ordered the Sour Cherry Varenyky to share (even though we were all stuffed) because we couldn't resist. We will definitely be returning for the dinner menu so we can sample the 20 different infused vodka flavors! The only criticism was the music was too loud. read more

Colorful spot to get tasty Ukrainian cabbage rolls, varenyky (dumplings), and borscht (beet/pork stew). The place filled up quickly when we went Saturday around 3pm.

An excellent restaurant, and an excellent introduction to Ukrainian food! I've now been four times, and I've loved everything I've ordered. Ukrainian food is very flavorful, and Tryzub does a great job both in the quality of food and in the presentation. The staff are very friendly, and in classic European style it doesn't feel like you're being rushed out of there. Expect to come and enjoy the atmosphere for a bit! I highly recommend Tryzub if you're looking for an introduction to Ukrainian food. I've tried the Borshch, Holubtsi, New Style Banosh, Carpathian Mushroom Soup, Chicken Kyiv, Tatar's Cheburek, Cherry Varenyky and Honey Cake. I've enjoyed every single one, and will be back here when I'm in the area again! read more

Favorite place to get Ukranian food in Chicago. Best place for cabbage rolls. Beer premium good Cherry beer interesting Green sauerkraut varenyky- delicious, loved how light it tasted, amazing sauce, dough fresh Cabbage rolls: loved these, one of the best I've had, sauce was on point Chicken skewer: not very filling, chicken dry Salo plate: tasty fat, generous portion Borscht: I thought it was good but my fiance didn't like it. Less creamy than other versions. He prefers the vegetarian version Chicken goulash; good flavors, chicken on dry side Great for dinner but service may be a little slow.

Overview: The food was delicious, unique and addicting -I can't wait to come back. They are incredibly short staffed so I recommend being patient and enjoying the company you came with- talk, sip on your drinks while enjoying the cute decorations. Also the bathroom signs and decoration were clever and funny!! The servers couldn't be nicer and we're able to help us figure out dishes that were best to be split between a group Food and drink review below: Cocktails: - Kharkiv mule: it's an infused honey spirits but when you sip this marvelous cocktail- it tasted like an infused tea. It was delish- would recommend! Not to sweet either - Cherry chouffe: this was their cherry ale- it was Interesting but very strong cherry flavor. A little like cough medicine Food: - Crispy potato pancakes: they were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. There was a delicious dill sauce on the side with a small relish- we used the mushroom sauce from another dish on them too and it was wonderful! - Hutsul colors salad: it was a simple salad and the mango added the perfect level of sweetness. The ranch dressing was heavy- but i loved it- if you prefer less dressing make sure to ask and put some on the side. It was plenty to split for a light salad app between three of us! - New style banosh: this reminded me of an arancini ball but better! The polenta was delicious and it was fried perfectly. The mushroom sauce was great and we used it also on the potato pancakes. - Stuffed cabbage (10/10)- I loved everything we had but this was epic. The creamy sauce was light, flavorful and the dish was worth every bite. Would highly recommend! - Grilled chicken skewers: they were cooked and seasoned well. They were a great and simple dish- if you are more picky this is for you. The chicken sits on a bed of arugula salad and the dressing was extraordinary!! read more
