One of the most underrated spots on the NW side.if you like a fusion of flavors, different spices, and a good atmosphere this is a great spot. read more

What an amazing spot! The upstairs and downstairs are both well-decorated but very different atmospheres. Downstairs is more dark and classy and moody, and upstairs is bright and open with a lot of light and outdoor seating, which is where we sat. Service was attentive and quick, and we got three dishes to share which were all terrific and perfect amount of food between 2 people. The portions are decent at as expected price points. We got the green beans (not pictured, well cooked and slightly spicy with good flavors), Chicago beef Bao which tasted like a soft Italian beef (amazing!), and the star of the show which was the garlic scallion noodles. Those were my favorite and I would order it again--the noodles are clearly homemade with a great chewy mouthfeel and the flavor is rich, savory, and balanced. Got the jasmine tea beer too which was good, not too much tea flavor though. read more

I went to Bixi for dinner and was captivated by the contrasting atmospheres: the upstairs had an airy, open vibe, while the downstairs offered a cozy, dimly lit lounge feel. We ordered the Yuzu Kosho Caesar Salad (ramps, cherry tomatoes, bacon lardons, toasted nori panko crumbs, Pork Char SIU Baos (lettuce, cucumber, scallion, pickled long fingers), and the Togarashi Smash Burger (japanese milk bun, slagel farms beef, sweet and sour aioli, red onion, heirloom tomato, kaiware) with fries. Everything was phenomenal but the caesar salad was particularly outstanding To add to our experience the staff was very friendly and helped us find the perfect combination of dishes! Can't wait to go back read more

Great date night for creative, solid dishes with fun drinks. Rangoon Royale - 4/5. Fancy crab rangoon, exactly as advertised. Nice and crispy, tasty sweet chili sauce. Pork Char Siu Baos - 4/5. Thick, well made bao. Good BBQ bork flavor. Well balanced with acid. Southern Fried Chicken Sando - 3.5/5. Milk bun was disappointing given prior reviews, felt like a standard bun. Decent fried chicken. Pickle flavor is prominent. Crab and Uni Udon Noodle - 3.5/5. Seafood heavy. Nice level of chili. Didn't love the uni bites. Enjoyed the fruited sour beer and Cherry 335 bourbon cocktail. My wife had a solid IPA. read more

I haven't been to Bixi since before Covid. Always loved it but was surprised by the amazing service and conversation from the Bartender Mitchell. Great guy and amazing service. Get more people like him behind the bar. Cheers to him! read more

My girlfriend and I came here for Chicago Restaurant Week and were not disappointed. The space is beautiful and decorative which sets the scene quite nicely. The servers were kind and made us feel welcomed. And each of the courses that were included in the restaurant week prix fixe menu were enjoyable. Our favorite was by far the scallion garlic noodles as the dish was creamy, cheesy, and comforting in the best way possible. Our least favorite was the yuzu citrus tiramisu because we did not particularly like the citrus jelly-like component as it overpowered the dish in a not so pleasant way. It wasn't for us but you might enjoy it. Overall this place was fantastic and a great pick for Chicago Restaurant Week! read more

BiXi Beer - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Underrated, we got 3 things here, the smash burger, the cucumber salad, and the Yibin noodles (forgot picture). All of them were outstanding, especially the yibin noodle. It's probably one of the best noodles I've had in a while. The walnuts added a really nice texture to the dish and it had an excellent mala flavor profile. It's definitely not authentic Asian food (like I've never had a Chinese cucumber salad with yogurt in it or a Chinese dish with walnuts in it) but they seem to have good vocabulary on authentic Asian ingredients and their execution is excellent, so it's probably the best if not one of the best Asian fusion restaurants I've been to in Chicago. read more

Very much wanted to enjoy this experience but ended up leaving before receiving anything. Arrived for bar seating at rooftop bar and received water from bartender but he never gave any follow up service for an order. Eventually a man with a suit came 40 minutes later and we ordered a bottle of sake to share and crab Rangoon. At the 55 minutes mark it was obvious we were not going to be served anything anytime soon so ended up leaving to avoid the craziness any further. Disappointing as it does look like a really great place with good drinks and food options but clearly under staffed. read more

BiXi Beer - The bar on rooftop is beautiful! Amazing selection! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We made a mistake and dined on the outdoor patio while it was 100 degrees outside but that did not stop us from enjoying this meal. BiXi beer really stands out, even amongst all the other highly rated restaurants that live on the same street. Definitely worth the trip to Logan square. My favorite things were definitely the noodles, definitely a sodium-heavy meal. read more

Loved this place! The ambience is so fresh and chic. This place is best for big parties. They had a lazy Susan at the table and this made it easier to share food since we were a big party. Although the vegetarian menu is limited, all the items were delicious. We tried the Szechuan peanuts, cucumbers, fries, lemongrass tofu banh mi, fried rice and yibin styles noodles. They also have beer options in different sizes, i.e. 8 oz, 12 oz, 16 oz and 64 oz which I think is very convenient. read more

Great food! The garlic green beans were so good and so was the curry. We were a large party and they were very accommodating. Great atmosphere and a good place to catch up with friends or family read more

This place is a 10/10 on food, ambiance, and service!!! Definitely worth getting reservations ahead of time for your party because they are packed. Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS!! Worth trying! Appetizers: -Kimchi -Rangoon Royale -Vietnamese Egg Rolls Dinner: -Fried Rice -Yibin Style Noodles -Pork Drunken Noodles I would recommend this place to anyone who likes Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese cuisines. I would go back again myself. read more

Great beer and great food, what more could you want?! When first walking in, in the interior is very dark and speakeasy like, at this time there was no one sitting in this area. We had come for the second area anyway and asked to be seated upstairs. We sat at the bar since there was only 3 of us and it's such a different vibe up there! Almost like 2 different places. It's very well lit, bright, lots of whites, plants. We were only coming for drinks and apps since we were planning to go somewhere else after, but I had known how good it was then I would have just wanted to stay there. It is a little on the pricier side but so worth it! I ordered the house saison, which I liked and my friends ordered the palo santo hard booch. This was their favorite! Great flavors and we all love a good hard booch. I kept to my saison though. We shared the vegetarian noodles and oh my goodness.. so much flavor!! The sauce/broth is amazing plus comes with lots of green and a thicker noodle. We were really impressed by this dish, I can only imagine what their other food tastes like! read more

Stopped by for their happy hour and had a great time! We ordered the oysters and fries as appetizers before dinner. The oysters weren't anything special, but the toppings did stand out for us, especially the chili paste and fried onions. I really liked the beef fat fries and the sauce (very sesame oil heavy) that came with it. The drinks specials were a steal as well - my friend and I ended up ordering a couple of beers to kickoff the weekend. read more

Great Asian fusion. Wonderful Bahn mi and fries. The soba salad was great; could eat it every day. We loved Bo's other restaurant, Owen and engine and I'm very happy we tried this one finally. read more

To start off, initial dinner service and experience was very bad. This was for my birthday dinner and my reservation started at 6:15 and we didn't receive our bill/pay until 8:51pm. We didn't start receiving our main entrees until 8:25pm. This late dinner pushed back the entire timeline of our night. To make up for the delayed service, drinks were offered on the house. I don't drink, but I felt this was a kind gesture. However, we just wanted to eat and leave. When orders did start coming out, the quality of the dishes were variable. For example, there were 3 orders of the Togarashi burgers. Mine, in particular was very delicious and well made. One was reported to be very greasy and wet and the other very salty. The "Rangoon Royale" was also disappointing. There was barely any filling and had a strong fish odor. On the other hand, the pork belly bao buns were excellent and very tasty. I would definitely order those again. I also got to try the Yiban noodles and those really stood out to me. At the end of the night, I was really disappointed with how the wait staff handled the dinner service. There was also little communication about what was going on. Later, when I brought my concerns up to management they were very pleasant and willing to rectify their shortcomings. Ryan, the manager on duty at the time was most helpful. I really appreciated how attentive and empathetic he was towards the situation. I am giving 5/5 because things can happen that aren't in the restaurants control, but I'm impressed by the way they handled it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and the decor is very cohesive. The volume level wasn't too loud, but it was lively. read more

Went to BiXi for the Owen & Engine 'residency. ' This limited time offer ends in March 2024 and is only served on Mondays and Tuesdays. Since this is the 2nd best burger in all of Chicago, it really should be a full-time menu item. It would be a crime against humanity if this burger were to vanish once again from the tables of Chicago's meat-eating public. This patty is something to behold with respect and reverence. At first glance, it is massive. Upon further investigation, the crispy, yet subtle char on the outside compliments the super juicy and flavorful meaty inside. Perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked to medium, this burger was served on an ideal protein delivery system. With the juices spreading across the plate, I feared the bun would fall apart in battle. But, NAY! Not only did it survive; it thrived under the pressure and soaked up all the juicy goodness. Every bite of this masterpiece was a warning shot across the bow of every other burger baron in the Chicagoland area. The ratios of bun:meat, meat:cheese, and onions:meat harmonized like Simon & Garfunkel in Central Park. Also, the Toffee Caramel Date Cake was excellent! Go. Make your reservation. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Call your congresspeople and demand that the Owen & Engine burger resides permanently on the BiXi menu. Do it for the kids! Do it now. read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this meal. Luckily we arrived early on a weekend and could get in. Every single thing we ordered was amazing!

The ambiance is super pretty but the food was all very mediocre. But I know Chicago has very mid Asian food as most is their own take on Asian fusion. The cheese fries has Bulgogi but was probably the best thing here. It was too cheesy and didn't have much flavor for the kimchi itself. The bao's were decent as far as meat but a little dry, even with the dipping sauce. The fried rice was extremely mushy and strong in fish sauce. I would have used day old rice in the fridge to aid with the texture. Otherwise, it would've been so much better. The entrees are really huge and are more than enough to share, so kudos to them. We could've honestly shared with an extra person. I'd definitely go for a drink for a nice view and left it at only simple things to share! read more

Next time you're in Chicago this is definitely a spot worth checking out! Bixi Beer is a modern brewpub located in Logan Square that features menu items inspired by Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cuisine! Their menu makes it extremely difficult to decide what to order since every single option sounds incredible. These items range from gochujang fries to rose tteokbokki to cumin lamb noodles These are some of the items I was able to try during my visit: ~ Chicago Beef Baos: sliced slagel beef, sichuan spiced giardiniera with peanut oil, charred scallions, ginger lemongrass au jus ~ Southern Fried Cauliflower Baos: fried pickles, green goddess dressing, lettuce ~ Scallion Garlic Noodles: butter, scallion, gently cured soy sauce egg yolk, garlic, oyster sauce, parmigiano reggiano ~ Yibin Style Noodles: gai lan, yacai, walnuts, szechuan spice Bixi Beer also serves many delicious Asian inspired cocktails and has happy hour from 3-5PM Wednesday-Friday and on Sundays. This restaurant absolutely deserves a 10/10 and I already can't wait for my next visit! #chicagofood #asianfood #korean #chinese #vietnamese #asianeats #garlicnoodles #pub #beer #chicagofoodie #chicagorestaurants #cocktails read more

I only came here for drinks and dessert, so I can't comment on the food. The restaurant vibes were really nice, especially the rooftop area. The service was quick, helpful, and accommodating. From the two dishes I tried, I wasn't a fan of the desserts. The Korean doughnut was a bit hard, and the yuzu roll (while fluffy) was too sweet. The beer I had was decent... Overall, I wasn't that impressed. Maybe I would give it another try for food, but I think I would rather try other places in the area. read more

I haven't even had a chance to dine in with Bixi Beer yet- and I already have no desire to go back. I had passed by this place so many times, and had been meaning to check it out. A little over a month ago I finally made a reservation for three people, since my parents were coming into town that weekend. The reservation was for 12:30pm on a Saturday. That morning I got a call that my mother was sick, and she wasn't making it into the city. I immediately canceled the reservation online (still 4/5 hours before the reservation), and then also decided to go out of my way and give them a call as a heads up as well. I called four times that morning with no answer, 3 of those were within opening hours. By the fourth time someone finally answers, and I let her know that I already canceled the reservation this morning, but wanted to give them a heads up and also make sure they were not charging my credit card. She puts me on hold and tells me she has to ask the manager. She comes back and says the manger said it's no problem, they see the canceled reservation and they will not be charging my card. Great. Fast forward the next day- I see that they did in fact charge my card, the same day I spoke and confirmed with them over the phone that they weren't running it. I try to contact them yet again.... which again was close to impossible to get anyone to answer the phone (during business hours and prior). Once I finally get in touch with someone- they are confused why I was charged $30 as that's not even the amount they would charge for a no-show. And again, this wasn't a no-show, I canceled online AND went out of my way to speak to them live prior to this reservation. Days later I get a call from someone who I assume is the manager, he's super apologetic and lets me know that they are having trouble with the refund process, but he gave me his personal phone number and let me know that he would reach back out in a *couple days when the refund has gone through. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as I understand how hard it is for businesses right now, and just waited for the refund to hit and to hear back from this manager. That was on July 24th- I waited over a week and followed up on 8/2, which again, has just been ignored. At this point it's been almost 4 weeks since the charge and it's been dead silent on their end. I gave them the benefit of the doubt for so long but at this point, after a month of being mistakenly charged, now I just feel like I'm getting the run-around. Not a great impression for a restaurant I haven't even been to, and now I have absolutely NO desire to come back. This issue shouldn't have happened in the first place, and it certainly shouldn't be a month later with more problems, and no response from Bixi in the meantime. I wouldn't visit here or give them any access to your credit card information. read more

We were walking around one evening this summer down Milwaukee and saw lights overhead. This spot is a little unassuming, but is super cute once you find it. The hostess was welcoming; we asked to sit on the patio - there were only a few places in the shade but we managed to snag one of those spots. We just were out for a couple of drinks, so we didn't get to try the food, but definitely want to come back and do that. The indoor dining area on the second floor looks really great, with a glass ceiling. I can't wait to come back. read more

We ate at bixi for the first time yesterday for an early dinner. We ordered the cucumber salad, the gochugary fries, the burger and the scallion noodle. All the food was great. Our server Julian was great. I was surprised when we got the bill and realized we were charge $15 for 3 iced teas. I'm really not that cheap and I realize this is a nice restaurant but I don't think I've ever been charged for refills on iced teas at any other restaurant in the city. This includes nice restaurants. This won't deter me from coming here again but I was put off by it. read more

Cute spot- I love the atrium upstairs. Great sun and space. We came for brunch, and luckily, it wasn't too busy. We decided to order several items to share, so we could try different items. I tried their Ghost of Megamall (hazy IPA)- it was fine but not a beer I'd come running for. For food, I wasn't a fan of their oysters, but I think they may rotate what they have? The pork belly baos were good, but the bao buns were a strange texture- too doughy. I liked the Viet egg rolls, very light. For the crispy wings, Korean bbq was recommended by the server. The flavor was good, but I wish the wings were even more crispy. I liked their fries- crispy and salty, but it's crazy to charge +$3 from the $14 cheeseburger. The Thai beef was flavorful, but too heavy/rich for brunch/lunch. We had to take that home! It reheated nicely later ;) Bixi is a bit pricey for what it was, but I'd like to come back for their dinner menu. read more

The upstairs was really nice ands a great place for a small bite before our dinner reservation.

Bixi was a great time. I'd definitely recommend it and take friends back! The atmosphere is lively and the noise level is moderate to high which can be a good thing if you're looking for an energetic place. Drink options range from sake to beer to wine to non-alcoholic options so there's something for everyone. For food, the drunken noodles and Szechuan peanuts are delish. I want to go back to try more dishes. The two bartenders behind the bar were both so nice and attentive, making the whole experience that much better. read more

Solid addition to the Blue line food scene. Interior is very upscale looking, and there's a gorgeous upstairs patio for dining. The second floor is mostly open as well for the open air feel if it rains. Decor is very instagram forward. Downstairs is more of a bar / lounge vibe. The theme of BiXi is pan-asian fusion. The menu has a sampling of a lot of different dishes, including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. It was reasonably busy on the patio when we went but empty downstairs. The drinks are solid. They have a ton of creative cocktails as well as mocktails that are worth a try. Not all of them are necessarily tasty but the entire menu was very creative and fun to go through. Food was good and well spiced. Serving sizes were definitely good to share for most entrees and apps. The ssam came DIY bun and sides. Other good options are the cumin noodles and the fried rice. Everything on the menu was surprisingly spicy baseline. The prices here are crazy expensive. I liked the experience but not sure I'm coming back just given it feels very overpriced. If you ask for sauce to go those get charged $3 as well which was rather stingy considering how much entrees cost. read more

The salad had some slight zest and a great crunch. The crab Rangoons were decent and actually had crab, lobster, and shrimp as the proteins accompanied with a sweet Thai chili sauce. As a group we decided to sample several items which the first was the banh mi. It was good but had too much cilantro in my opinion. The scallion garlic noodles were summarized perfectly as an asian cacio e Pepe. One of the better dishes we tried. Their char siu pork belly burger was solid, but it had thicker patties which I felt like it didn't balance the rest of the ingredients within the burger. The togarashi burger was a lighter in flavor from the heirloom tomato. And the spicy chicken sando had a solid crunch and perfect umami kick, but I would get it without the lettuce personally. I'm just not a lettuce person on a sandwich. read more
