The restaurant has a secret entrance, a simple and modern environment, an open kitchen, 17 dishes, and no fixed menu. The restaurant offers exquisite molecular cuisine to diners. The appearance, taste, and experience of the dishes are full of surprises.
The most tempting thing is the last dessert. The chef "painted" on the spot with more than a dozen ingredients. Can you bear to eat the food pictures completed with superb skills?
Last night's dinner was worth the wait and the price. A true gastronomic feast. Like watching a movie. The well trained service staff was part of the description. The presentation was like art. The food blended perfectly. An evening but one that can be recalled and talked about for years.

Smyth is a creative cuisine restaurant in Chicago. Although the environment of this restaurant is simple, it is not minimalist. It feels very clean and comfortable. The dishes here are not large in portion, but taste great.
A very simple restaurant, rated mainly by its scenery and food. The dishes here are unique and creative, combining styles from all over the world. The wraps are delicious and the seafood is fresh.

Chicago｜The Boka
A popular Michelin one-star restaurant, almost every dish has a surprise, except for the main course which is average, which is above the standard, especially the foie gras and sashimi appetizers. Sure enough, there is no risk of stepping on thunder in the blind spots of a good restaurant.
This is a three-star Michelin hotel. It is very popular and requires reservations long in advance. The dishes are very exquisite and the store has a large frontage, so it is easy to find nearby. The egg pudding is made with egg shells.

This is a two-star Michelin restaurant. The dishes are all single-person portions. The oysters are delicious and super fresh. The grilled spare ribs are also very good. It's just that the unit price is high, and the per capita consumption is not cheap. The taste is quite good.
I declare that I will be your tap water from now on, I am very satisfied, and I hope that the high quality can be maintained in the future💛

Super creative Western food, each dish is exquisite and attractive, and the taste is also good. It can be said to be pleasing to the eye.
It is a restaurant full of girlishness
The sense of ceremony is very strong and the decoration accessories are also high-end
The waiters are elegant and patient, suitable for festivals and anniversaries
Colorful cream tart
The colorful fragrance is very touching and also very light
It is good for appetizers or for changing flavors later
Caramel vanilla ice cream
The crispy pieces with biscuit texture are very good and fragrant
Under the butter fragrance is ice cream, the density is a bit surprising
Wagyu beef eye and sirloin steak
Both types of beef are very good, the cooking time is between 3-5
The portion is not bad, the best part is selected
The sauce is actually not needed at all, the original taste is great
Puff pastry caviar bag
The creativity is very good, the shape is like a clay jar
There are really a lot of contents, not just the fish roe on the top, there are surprises

I really like Styx/Babe and Chicago/Hard. I really like Chicago, the place where they originated! It is also a Chicago steakhouse listed in the Michelin Guide. The double-story space with a marble bar as the center has a great atmosphere. The risotto and steak are delicious!
RPM. Steak~ The appetizer is delicious [shy],
The baked Alaska is very beautiful [not simple][not simple]
Not to mention the steak, it is one of the best in Chicago [China praise][China praise]
Although it is marked as expensive in a certain review, it is actually not that expensive [snicker][snicker]

I never thought that I could eat persimmons in Omakase restaurants‼ ️Sushi Army's seasonal new product, Autumn Persimmon Fuwa, is not only good-looking, but also tastes great💯
Although it is so low-key that it is easy to miss, the 980 yuan single meal is not inferior to the 2,000 yuan outside. The wild tuna of Aomori Oma and the big sea urchin are all expensive goods that you can tell after trying them. I am so worried that the boss will lose money!
🍅Autumn Persimmon Fuwa🍅
The first thing you feel between your lips and teeth is the thick and soft squid and the layers of fresh and salty caviar, but before the saltiness can spread, it is quickly swallowed up by the sweet and milky fragrance of the sea urchin, and the sweetness of the crisp persimmon neutralizes the salty fragrance, which is really amazing!
Bamboo pods + scallops + tuna, the basil flowers on the surface are also edible; Japanese oysters are served with sweet and sour tomato vinegar jelly, soft and smooth and slide into the mouth; tender and thornless charcoal grilled black throat is served with ginkgo, and each dish is gradually popular.
🍣Sushi Ten-point🍣
The spring sea bream, which is first salted and then soaked in vinegar, has a good blend of seasonings, sweet and crispy ark shells, oily squid, and silvery small muscles, which do not taste fishy at all, and a mouthful of sea urchin sushi worth a thousand gold, which is very satisfying!
The dessert is the daily baked tamagoyaki, and every bite is fresh and sweet and has an endless aftertaste~
The taste of autumn is hidden in this omakase🍂
Come alone to eat, "persimmon" and "persimmon" are as you wish🍅
Come with two people to eat, a good "persimmon" becomes a pair🍅🍅
How wonderful it is❓You will know after "persimmoning"‼ ️
I had a super happy omakase yume.
For the salmon skewer, I think I can have it three times.
After eating, I asked the chef if I could have another skewer of salmon.
But he refused cruelly. There was no extra ingredients (maybe it was really troublesome to smoke it on the spot)

New American restaurant, the absolutely open kitchen allows you to see the preparation process of each dish at close range, and the chef is very happy to interact with every diner. The dishes are very novel, there is no favorite, but I love every one! By the way, the chef likes diners to lick the plate directly with both hands instead of using cutlery.
The food, atmosphere, decor, and service were all great. I ate here with a colleague while on a recent business trip. The Tijuana salad and Sopa Azteca were both delicious.

Mako, the chef of this restaurant, I don't want to call him just a cook anymore, I want to call him a "craftsman", which shows the super high standard of this restaurant. Each of their Japanese dishes is a triple enjoyment of vision, smell and taste.

The decor has a very elegant appearance, and I particularly liked the rows of books scattered around. But it’s the food that will really bring us back. Everything we had was great, with the Scotch Egg appetizer being a particular standout while the Steak Frites were my favorite. There were some things that didn’t match my tastes, like the Mac & Cheese (it tasted too much like ham) but even so I could see how it would be good.
