    Half eaten pretzel
    Raneen R.

    I've never had German food before, and this was phenomenal! I sat down on a Monday at 11:00, one hour before the kitchen closed. My friends and I ordered a lot: pretzel, poutine (fries), chicken kebab, buffalo wings, curry wurst and veggie wurst. All of it was absolutely delicious and had generous portions. We all shared everything that we ordered, but my veggie wurst was my personal favorite. The bartenders and employees are extremely friendly. I will definitely be returning here this summer!

    Vegan curry wurst
    Grace W.

    Had seen that Dönermen does completely vegan döner kebab and currywurst and they did not disappoint! I have not had these dishes since I was in Germany. I got both the döner kebab and the currywurst (pictured), and will say the currywurst was my favorite! It had a great amount of curry seasoning and an incredibly flavorful ketchup that compliment the curry flavors. Not spicy at all. Their doner was ok, I think it would have been better in the restaurant because it was cold by the time I received it. They're also a bar which seems like a fun place to hang out but I just got takeout. I would recommend if you're in the Avondale area.

    The curry wurst ($9)
    Edna C.

    The story behind DönerMen is beautifully serendipitous: they haphazardly decided to mix Indian spices with classic German fare to create a street food style mashup dubbed the Cürrywurst. They also serve wraps, bowls, and a delicious-looking poutine; we opted for their signature cürrywurst ($9), which consisted of their pork and veal sausage over fries, topped with their curry spice sauce. The curry flavors don't entirely go hand in hand with the savory sausage and the slightly sweet sauce, so you end up with something in between that's not spicy enough to be entirely curry, but not traditional enough to be familiar. The sausage itself was juicy and satisfying, making a hearty snack. On a logistical note, I did appreciate the composition that was fairly easy to eat with a fork, without an excessive amount of toppings that spew everywhere as is possible with any form of grandiose fries. Altogether, it's an interesting concept but didn't quite pan out to be particularly life-changing--I wouldn't call it the best or wurst (pun intended) fusion ever. The staff are friendly, service is efficient, and the price is reasonable especially considering that they give you a 1/3 pound sausage (and the fact that you can't and shouldn't expect bouge street food to be cheap in America.)

    DonerMen menu at christkindle market
    Alison Y.

    I tried DonerMen when I was at Christkindle Market in Chicago. After perusing most of the food shops, I decided on DonerMen because it seemed to offer the DonerBox that no other shop had. It boasted a mix of fries, veggies, and meat - the healthiest meal I could find there. Upon receiving it, I was disappointed that it came in a small container that could barely hold the contents inside. This made it very difficult to carry to my table and I lost some toppings along the way. This is definitely a food you cannot eat while moving and needs two hands to transport. Once I was seated, I was excited to dig in. Again, the container was small and I wasn't able to really mix anything up and had to eat from the top/outside in. Other than the sauce on top, I was not wowed by anything in this dish. The fries were not very well made (it was cold but not sure if it came out that way or my 15 feet walk cooled it down in Chicago winter... Ontop of having difficult eating it out of a small container, I felt that this wasn't a good value. For $11, I could have gotten a better deal with other offerings at Christkindle Market. I want to like them more because the concept sounds good...I may try their kebab if I ever run into them again and don't have any better options...

    Donerbox... Chicken kebab, harissa, tzatziki, salad, and fries!
    Angela D.

    Food truck browsing on a sunny spring day in Chicago, I saw the description of the DonerBox. Spit-roasted chicken, Greek goat yoghurt tzatziki, spicy red pepper harissa, tomato-cucumber shirazi, wild pickle, sumac sprinkle, fries, and red lettuce salad. Delicious, right? I don't know how it's possible that this meal had next to no flavor. It was so disappointing. The fries were old and mealy, the chicken was dry and flavorless, and the whole thing was completely boring. The harissa had a nice bite but there was hardly any of it on the chicken. I'm sensitive to strong goat flavor so I was hesitant about the tzatziki, but it tasted like plain cow's milk yogurt. I think I paid $11 for this lunch and didn't even want to finish it.

    Döner box with fries
    Nancy H.

    I've ordered from here twice. It has always been delicious. Today I got the döner box with fries and it was SO good. Very tasty and fresh. Pretty large portion. Will definitely be ordering again!

    Bill M.

    Yes working near the Sears (Willis) Tower is great because you can get some food truck traffic around here during lunchtime. The colorfully decorated DönerMen truck serves its take on German street food. I tried a Döner Box, loaded with all sorts of ingredients. In fact this böx öf fööd is a microcosm of my "balanced" diet in general, a pile of both "good and healthy" and "good but not that good for you" ingredients. There is the salad portion with lettuce, onion, tomato and cucumber and a generous portion of shredded roasted chicken, and somewhere in the box is a heap of fries, plus tzatziki yogurt sauce. It is a good and filling lunch box for sure. I think next time I will want to try the currywurst, which really is German street food to me.

    I liked Bienmesabe years ago when I first went here and have been here a few times since, although…read morethere's been a gap between my most recent visit and the one before that. I'm happy to report that when I went recently, we still really enjoyed it. It was my boyfriend's first time and he is now a fan and we both recommended it to our friend who lives in the area. You can also make reservations if you'd like although the times I've been, walking in is also fine. Last time we got the Bienmesabe Sampler, which is enough appetizers to share with four people lol. Our ranking of the items in the sampler were the tostones (soooo good), tequeño (my boyfriend loved), mandioca, and then the empanadas. The empanadas are my least favorite - I'd prob see if I could sub it out for something else in the future. I do like that they provide an assortment of empanadas. Then we got a cachapa with chicken - the cachapa itself was so good although next time we would try a different protein. Lots of delicious cheeses to be found - lactose-intolerant people should prepare accordingly.

I tried the passion fruit drink - yummm! It was very refreshing on a hot day. I also got the vegan patacones, which here is almost like a sandwich (like a jibarito) and it was SO good. The portion sizes are huge and all the food came out fairly quick. I'll definitely be coming here more often!

The food took about 10-15 minutes, and both items came out to about $45 after tip. The Vodka Chicken Parm Sandwich (8.7/10) was definitely the star. The sesame bread was perfect with a crispy crust, soft interior, and tons of sesame seeds. The creamy, cheesy vodka sauce was the best vodka sauce I've had so far. The chicken got a little soggy from the sauce, but that's expected. The meat-to-bread ratio was great, though I wouldn't complain about a little more chicken. It also wasn't spicy at all. They ran out of sandwiches within 10 minutes of opening (around 10 people ordered). The Pepperoni Pizza (8.5/10) reminded me of L'Industrie with its thin Neapolitan-style crust. The pepperoni and Mike's Hot Honey were the perfect combo. The pepperoni had a nice crisp, the hot honey added sweetness without much heat, and the crust was airy and crispy. The center got a little soggy after sitting for a while, but overall it was still delicious. Overall, it was definitely worth messing up my diet for. I wouldn't wait in a super long line, but if there's little to no wait, it's absolutely worth trying.

    This pizza is amazing!! I didn't think I liked Neapolitan. I tried Spacca Napoli, which is probably…read moresuper authentic, but it just didn't hit right for my taste buds. Then one day Limoni Belli was sitting outside Hop Butcher and I was super hungry, so I ordered the pepperoni. Holy cow was I impressed! First, the box is super cute and you can tear it apart to make a box lid apron. Second, the pizza comes out looking absolutely immaculate. Third, the taste is perfection! The crust is cooked perfectly and is firm for the style. The cupping pepperoni is a nice touch as well. Other favorites include the panzanella salad, mozzarella sticks, and cannolis. You need to check them out if you see the truck, or you can now order for delivery! They are super nice and are always so pleasant to talk to!

That's exactly how we ended up at Del Seoul! We were walking by, saw the food, smelled all that goodness, and knew we had to stop. Even one of the diners told us the food was good and that we would enjoy it. That was all the confirmation we needed! Del Seoul is a quaint little spot with a dining area that isn't very large, along with additional seating on the side. When you enter, you place your order at the counter. One thing to know if you're dining with a group: everyone in your party must be present when ordering. We had a group of four, and they prepared a table for us. Ordering was easy, and Reilly was very friendly and helpful, which made our first visit even better. We started with the Kimchi Fries for the table. I didn't really taste much of the kimchi flavor, but the fries were still good. We also grabbed a bottle of Mango Soju to share. It wasn't overly sweet, and we decided shots were the way to go. Cheers! For my meal, I ordered the Bulgogi Bento Box, which came with grilled, thinly sliced flatiron steak with sautéed onions, an egg and scallion omelette, mixed greens with ginger vinaigrette, and steamed rice. The bulgogi was the star for me. The steak was tender, flavorful, and very tasty, and everything in the bento box worked well together. Definitely a satisfying meal! What started as a simple walk-by turned into a delicious Chicago food stop. If you're a Chicago native or visiting the city like I am, give Del Seoul a try. Sometimes you just have to follow the aroma! Five stars from me!

The K-Town Chicken Wings (7.5/10) were my favorite item. They weren't breaded, but the sweet soy, chili, and garlic glaze was delicious. The skin had a nice firm bite, which I really liked.
