Tonya C.

Awesome location in the heart of Hyde Park! The restaurant has a lively and inviting atmosphere. The food was reasonably priced and overall pretty good. The wings were delicious, but they definitely need a little more training on how to make Egg Foo Yung, it was probably the worst I've ever had! That said, I'd still go back because the other dishes we ordered were pretty good, the service was decent and we enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant.

I would return but only for the drinks. We were initially excited to eat here based off a previous visit. We had just flew into town and wanted to unwind and get some grub. Unfortunately the grub was meh. I ordered a fish sandwich it was tasteless. The addition of the bacon really took away from the fish. The fries were old and cold while the fish was piping hot. Odd. My husband had the curry beef tenderloin. I had to keep my comments to myself because he does not complain or send food back. It looked disgusting and unappetizing, the broccoli had way too much garlic on it. Check out the pictures. Looked like potted meat in brown gravy. My sister ordered the friend rice which she said was overly salty and she returned it and did not order anything to replace it. We also ordered wings, we really wanted to try the Kong pow wings but they only offer honey chipotle. The server we had was a bit rude. She kept telling us what we couldn't have. We understand some items may not allow substitutions, but other items she'd say it's an up charge but we don't do that I can ask the chef. Her responses really sounded as if it could be done but she just didn't want to be bothered. The restaurant is spacious, but pretty empty. I wish this were a place I could have added to my go to Chicago spots when I'm in town. It definitely missed the mark in several areas of our experience.

Braised Oxtail w Mash substituted
Vanity H.

I'm not too sure how I felt about the place just yet - I want to go again and try something completely different (perhaps their Asian cuisine) to get the full picture of the restaurant. I'll start with our server - he was also the bartender so we barely saw him and whenever we tried to get his attention he told us to wait. That wasn't cool. The music was way too loud. I love a good live band, but I come out to dinner to chat with friends and the music did not allow that unfortunately. For the drinks I would say I love the pricing - very affordable compared to others. I got a lychee martini that was so delicious. I got 2 but would say they need a bit more alcohol for my liking. Food on my end of things was pretty okay - i got the oxtails over mashed potatoes. It had good flavor and I enjoyed it. My friends on the other hand hates their meals. One got pot roast and she said it was flavorless and tough. I tasted a bit and I agree it was bland and not worth its price. My other friend got the fried chicken that she said was just fine. Now it's in the heart of Hyde Park so I want to see what else they can give to give another opinion. My friend told me she hasn't been in YEARS but the times she had came, it was good, but I read somewhere it's new ownership so not sure if that's the case. Hoping when I do come back they change my mind.

Crab and shrimp dip
Jasmine N.

The Beef short rib dinner is delicious. It is extremely tender and flavorful. This saved the review. Avoid the crab and shrimp dip. Honestly, this should be pulled from the menu. That's how terrible it was. I also ordered the chocolate cake which I did not enjoy. It had a chocolate mousse frosting and raspberry jam, and the menu gave no mention of that. I ordered a Mai tai which was tasty.

Lychee Martini and Peach Mojito
BreNae S.

Chant is my favorite restaurant in Hyde Park amongst several others. My service is always great. This time i ordered a few appetizers and cocktails as a quick lunch date. I was filled to capacity after everything we ordered, . I always order the infamous chicken and black bean soup with avocado. it never disappoints. It was my first time trying the deviled eggs p, lobster and shrimp dip as well as the seafood cakes. I have no complaints about anything i tried, everything was cooked to perfection packed with flavor. presentation of each appetizer made the food look even more delicious. I enjoy that chant even when busy is still intimate and very inviting.

Korean fried chicken. Delectable!
Kara K.

I had been to Chant in years past to listen live music and DJ live sets, but had never been to dine. On my Sunday off, I wanted to take my new, amazingly smart, brand-new, high school senior out to eat. Since it was a last-minute decision and we lived just a five-minute walk away, we popped in with no reservation. It was pretty busy that evening but we were seated right away. Our friendly server came right over, took our orders and we absorbed the ambiance. Very chill and unpretentious, beautiful Asian-inspired decor with chill lounge music playing in the background. As we were catching up on our lives over the summer (she was mostly gone pursuing academic opportunities, while I was working 12-hour days), next thing you know our food appears! My daughter had the Korean fried chicken which was fried and seasoned to perfection and they happily subbed out the mac n cheese for bok choy; I had the sambal catfish with mac n cheese and it was absolutely delectable. The portions were so generous we had enough to take home for lunch the next day. The only reason this review isn't 5 stars is because when I paid with cash, the server asked if I needed change. Ummm yes, I need my change. I feel it's so inappropriate to ask that question because it puts pressure on the guest to overtip. I'm in the industry and understand the importance of tipping, but most restaurants should train their servers to say, "I'll be right back with your change." Aside from that, I highly recommend Chant and will be back.

First time visit is it was amaze balls ... excellent food and excellent service. Will definitely visit again

53rd STREET NOODLES
Jocelyn H.

I'm always worried about "fusion" restaurants that don't necessarily specialize in one cuisine and this place reminded me of any other fusion restaurant that tries to do too much. Overall, it was a good experience but nothing stood out. I don't think the ingredients such as their fish are fresh (probably frozen) and their "Wok" dishes didn't have a charred flavor which is what you look for from dishes cooked on a wok. The dishes are fairly expensive but you do get a good portion size. When we went on a Thursday evening, the restaurant was not busy and the staff was kind. I would be careful of allergens here and make sure that they understand that cross-contamination is also something to be careful of when preparing your food.

Warm Shrimp Roll
Antoine W.

So I wanted to treat my two besties to dinner and one of them suggested here. Asian-fusion is always hit and miss. This was a safe space in the middle. The Tempura Fried Green Tomatoes were my favorite on the menu, mostly becuase you can't find fried green tomatoes everywhere. And with the tempura batter, it was light and not greasy. The wings, which the sever recommended we request "fried hard", were tasty enoufh. I'm glad we made the request, because even "fried hard" wasn't as crispy as I had expected. My Warm Shrimp Roll reminded me of a po boy, so if that's the vibe you're looking for, definitely try it. Was it the best meal I've had in Chicago? No. Would I recommed coming back here? No. But, if someone else wanted to come here, would I return? Yes

Kay H.

I was happy with welcoming service and quickly served food. I would probably say this is a solid 3.5 experience, but a nod to 4 for no negatives. The food was tasty. I really loved the lobster Rangoon. The pad thai was solid and I wouldn't turn down an invite to go back one day.

Chicken Crazy Cashew Chicken
Asia C.

TLDR: 4/5. Service was great, food was okay in parts and the vibes were generally pretty good. Good luck on parking. Ordered: Gumbo Shrimp plate Chicken Cashew Gumbo: 3/5 I think I just wasn't use to this kind of gumbo? It had a green sauce, not even a hint of spice so maybe that's the version. I'm use to more of a seafood heavy hence why I was thrown. Shrimp Plate: 5/5 I thought this was great. Just some tempura fried shrimp really. Came out hot and fresh. Chicken cashew: 5/5 I thought this was great too. The sauce was well balanced. The noodles weren't overtaking the dish. A good ratio of noddle actually. This is a good choice if you're looking for something light as well. Service: 5/5 Our server was so nice and friendly. Everything came out super quickly despite the dinner rush. Overall I think I'd come back here to try some other stuff.

Soy Glazed Salmon

Food was amazing!! Our server was so attentive. The person who gave us water was very accommodating. I took my cousin there for a random lunch and he really loved it! It was my 5th time going and I will always be a fan!!

The order took too long and the shrimps were cold. I don't feel well and I will not be returning! Tacos Blackened Shrimp tacos.
Genevieve D.

I ordered Cajun shrimp tacos. I ate them at home and now I'm feeling pretty sick. It took too long to make 3 tacos and I will not be returning!

It is also conveniently located on the same block as two of his other spots. I have been twice now and had a great experience each time. I am especially glad they did away with the reservation deposit. It makes planning a visit much easier. Most recently, I stopped by for their all day Sunday happy hour, which was a great vibe. They have expanded the food menu since my first visit, and everything I tried was solid. The empanada was my favorite, the quesabirria was really good, and the chicken torta was delicious. On my first visit, I only had the guacamole, which I also enjoyed. The decor is beautiful and intimate, creating a great atmosphere, and the music is always on point. The staff has been friendly and welcoming every time I have gone. This place is definitely staying in my regular rotation.

From the start, the bartender's attitude seemed off, but what stood out most was the difference in how I was treated compared to the rest of my group. He was friendly, attentive, and even offered complimentary drinks and shots to my friends, while I was largely ignored. Things escalated when the check came. After I paid, my receipt was held up in a way that drew attention to the fact that I hadn't left a tip on the card. And, then he mocked me and said, "I'm sorry my service was that bad to the point, I didn't get a tip." Shortly after, my friends continued receiving drinks on the house--again excluding me out. This created an awkward and embarrassing situation, especially since I was sitting right there with them. For clarity, I tip in cash as a personal preference, but regardless, no one should be singled out or treated differently like that. He laughed, and kept showing my receipt. I'm sharing this in hopes that it's taken seriously, because professionalism and consistency in service matter. P.S- The server/bartender name was Jaquez or Jaquees (not 100% sure on the proper spelling but, he has long locs with a nose ring, and ear gauges.

I understand that some restaurants do this but we are a bit taken aback when someone who was not a manager I don't believe told us we had to leave because it had been an hour and a half . The check was on the table he was about .. we were just a bit uncomfortable because we noticed she wasn't saying anything to the big party of six who was in front of us and had been there longer than us. They actually have people coming and going because it was a birthday and notice no one was rushing them to get out. No one had mentioned there was a time limit and I think this lady mentioned that the server should have said something or was actually on the menu which we did not see. It was an early Sunday afternoon, it was a lovely, and they didn't have the back room open so that's perhaps something they should consider . I just felt like we were back in covid for a moment .

If I were to make any complaint it is that the overhead lights are turned on fully & brightly at 10 pm. Not a gentle increase over a few minutes but an immediate, full-on "get out, go home, leave NOW" feeling. Considering the prices and the otherwise wonderful evening, not cool. What gives Mesler? :-( All in all, a fun experience with tasty food. Don't not go, there is lots to like, but be sure you are done & gone by 9:58. Sincerely, Patrick Shaughnessy Chicago, IL

The drinks were great too, whether you're going for cocktails or mocktails. Would absolutely come back again.
