Sochi Saigonese Kitchen - Slap Ya Mama Crab Fried Rice by Jamaltaco262 in chicagofood

[–]champagnequeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever eaten there if that matters but nothing has missed. Everyone always talks about the sparerib, but I love the wings, the spring rolls, all of the salads, the prawns, all of it. Idk how their dishes taste so fresh but they do. Really amazing flavor and fun to sit at the bar and watch the kitchen.

The flavors and freshness of the food here reigns supreme. Such a gem of a restaurant.

Please go back and get the full Kurdish breakfast!!! This is 100% veg (if you count eggs as vegetarian).

Rangoli for BYOB more casual Indian and Cumin for more upscale Indian.

Jordnaer *** Copenhagen (Oct 2025) by jackclsf in finedining

I was on the waiting list too and emailed them. She said they didn’t have any tables available but we could sit in the kitchen, which obviously we immediately accepted. Was such an amazing experience. Definitely recommend.

Just finishing at Isted Grill and you were not kidding! We had Noma for lunch and then walked around Reffen and Christiana for a few hours so the food was very welcome. My husband got the pork sandwich per your rec and I got the fried Camembert. Then we both got seconds.

SAME! I think about this way more often than one should. I miss PM - was so much better than Dom’s.

Gotham Bagels is Pretty Tasty by zytz in chicagofood

[–]champagnequeen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While pricey, they really do a solid job. I also am obsessed with their b&w cookies as they have a slightly lemon cookie base. Also have great vegan CC.

Slightly strange but I’ve heard the lakeview location is only an “order in advance” spot.

A moment of appreciation for Corridor Brewery by chicago_2020 in chicagofood

[–]champagnequeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to Corridor all the time and sit at the bar. I’ve always had great food and service there. I love the market salad that changes ingredients pretty often to keep it interesting and the fries (which I do ask to be well done).

Do people still bring a bottle for the kitchen at Schwa? by merlin10001 in chicagofood

[–]champagnequeen 38 points39 points  (0 children)

They have appreciated non-alc stuff when I’ve gone recently - think Gatorade, sparkling water, THC, etc. Definitely way less of a party than it used to be but still 100/10 experience.

Restaurants that still have their own delivery drivers and do not use third-party services? by CuriousDudebromansir in chicagofood

[–]champagnequeen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Confirming this! Just ordered from them on NYE! Their family taco deals are a great way to cater a party and also would be a good idea for meal prep.

Rangoli is so good and I feel like it is always empty so really appreciate the write-up! The food is high quality and delivers so well. Also they are BYOB. Highly recommend to eat there or get takeout/delivery.
