It can be tough when traveling for conventions to find real, whole food. This is a gem a short walk from McCormick Place, and a perfect spot to get something with no sugar and no grains. The broccoli is great, and the chimmichurri on flank steak is super tasty. Anything I've brought back for other people has been thoroughly enjoyed as well read more

The gumbo was tasty flavorful and just tasty enough for a quick carry out when you're hungry . Cornbread was a little sweet for my taste but eatable. I would go back! Service was quick, food was hot and oh! The salmon was good. read more

Two stars because the cashier was very nice but the food was terrible & a disgrace to what used to be Chef Luciano's. The garlic bread tasted freezer burnt the chicken tasted old. The gumbo had little to no rice and was very small for the price. Don't go here. read more

This is my new favorite place for take out. The menu has so many healthy, flavorful options and portions are generous.

Never ordered from them before but saw an influencer on TikTok advertise them. The food looked good so I decided to give them a try. Ordered the following via Postmates: Chicken Gumbo, Cornbread w/honey butter, Blackened Tilapia. The food was flavorful and the portion sizes were good too. Definitely adding them to my takeout roster. read more

See all

Food was fresh and delicious. Love supporting local owned business . My niece and I happen to come upon this place driving through the neighborhood. Customer service was on point . Shout out to Tiara she was so sweet and helpful. I got the cheeseburger with fresh cut fries which was so good . All toppings were fresh . The meat was quality beef . My niece had pasta with shrimp and broccoli and she really enjoyed . We took home dessert which was the caramel cake .. yummy . Please support this business ! I will return ! read more

Overpriced. Small. Spoiled. We ordered a burger and Southwest Chicken salad. Instead we got a $10 quality burger for $20. Not worth the cost. Salad contained spoiled avocado, and skinny amount of chicken that was not chicken breast in size except remnants of what looked like to be a Costco rotisserie chicken which could have possibly had bones in it. Lastly corn was spoiled and kidney beans just absolutely gross. South Loop Locals that will not be visiting again. In absolute honesty avoid this place and save your money there are much better options in the South Loop. This place has a lot of work to improve it's culinary experience as no one should have experienced the food experience and quality we were delivered in our first visit here. read more

We were doing a low-key Thanksgiving and ordered a side of macaroni and cheese from mustard seed kitchen. It cost around $40, and was billed as a portion for 4, but it was enough for 6 (and we have healthy appetites!). As expected, it was delicious. We also appreciated having one less thing to do. I have to go back to try more things but so far so good. read more

We moved to the Motor Row neighborhood recently and ordered from Mustard Seed on our first night in our new home. It is very dangerous financially to have this place one block from our house because it is so delicious. The creamed spinach is to die for. Yummy cornbread too. I ordered the Juneteenth pasta special yesterday and was glad the portion was large because I had it for lunch the next day too and it was delicious. Perfect amount of heat. Mmmmmmmm. The only slightly negative thing is that several of our dishes on our second order were a bit salty. The owner just won a James Beard award for best chef in the Great Lakes. Did I mention it is one block from our house? read more

3 of us hit this place for lunch and I don't think I would give it another chance after our experience. It was expensive and was just ok but it took forever to get our salads. The person working the register was new it appeared and they should not have left her alone as she had to ask another person there what to do at every step. They offer to add chicken to the salad which I asked for but I was told it was shredded sauteed chicken. I told them I wanted their fried chicken on it. They acted like they had never heard of putting crispy fried chicken in a salad. It was a southwest salad and really could have benefited from some red peppers and roasted corn instead of the sweet white corn. read more

Chicken spaghetti, amazing! Chicken gumbo, get it! Salads huge! Salmon, great! Nuff said.

Had the rotini and shrimp and kale salad. Really enjoyed my meal and had left overs. Both exceeded my expectations. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

My colleagues and I have orders from here twice and we all loved everything we order: skirt steak, salmon & blackened tilapia! Food was fresh and hot, we'd definitely order again! read more

Fabulous food, fantastic service, terrific experience. Highly recommended. The gumbo and the corn bread are not to be missed

Female cashier had a very poor attitude! Over the phone & then got worse in person. Over the phone told me they don't have a chicken Caesar salad. (Very Curt) but I can add chicken to a Caesar salad... asked for 2 extra dressings. She told me they are $.75 a piece. ( in a tone like your gonna have to apply for financial aid if you want that dressing) strike 3 asked if chicken was on my salad and she said baby I don't know cause I don't make it! Won't be going back! read more

Food was fresh. I've tried the Cajun pasta and salmon both were good. Quick and fulfilling service. Ordered take out, delivered fast.

They should rename this place scumbag kitchen.O accidentally placed an order for their half gallon of gumbo (which arrives frozen) and tried to cancel the order within 2 minutes, and they charged me $44 because they were already "preparing the order"....how are you preparing somethjng that is pre-cooked and frozen. YOU JUST SCAMMED ME OUT OF $44 BEFORE CHRISTMAS for food one of your employees probably took home to eat. read more

I just ordered from here on Uber Eats and I have not even received my food yet, so this review is based on a phone conversation I had with the employee and the manager. After placing my order, I immediately called the restaurant to have certain items removed from and added to salad I ordered after misunderstanding the wording of the menu on Uber Eats, I was able to come to an understanding with the employee, she was fine. So I asked to add Feta to my salad, and she got her manager. The upcharge was not the problem. I did not want red beans and tomatoes in/on my salad, the manager actually told me that the salads were prepared and they would do there best to PICK the beans and tomatoes out of my salad. REALLY, I just spent $60 for soup and salad, and I have to get a salad they played in instead of a fresh one. We will see how this turns out when my order gets here. read more

AWFUL customer service!!!!! I attempted to call in an order and the woman on the phone acted as though she didn't know their menu. I asked for the "say cheese" which is very clearly on their menu as a double cheeseburger. She proceeded to go back and forth with me on whether it was on the menu. I then tried to order the salmon and she then argued with me on what the sides were that came with it as what is on their website is not what she said. Instead of apologizing and offering what was actually on the menu, she continued to go back and forth trying to make sure I was looking at their menu! I told her I would just cancel the order and she hung up in my face. I certainly will NOT be back! read more

We ordered from Mustard Seed Kitchen agsin today. We usually both get the tilapia dinner, which is absolutely delicious. Today we decided to change it up, I ordered the grilled rainbow trout and my husband ordered Cajun fettuccine. We were both moaning as we ate, everything was so good! I love that the food is still warm when delivered, and it's seasoned to perfection! Keep doing what you're doing MSK, you've got a good thing going. No leftovers for either of us read more

I've read other reviews stating the front staff aren't the most attentive or kind, and I'm so sorry for their experience. Because in my experience, they always greet me with a smile and attend to me immediately. I love their chicken gumbo, and it's what brings me back so frequently! read more

For $71 Including a tip, I had the spaghetti with sausage and penne with sausage, ginger beer, sweat tea, bubbly lime, and two pieces of the brown sugar cake one chocolate & one caramel. I chose the spicy basil sauce which was tasty packs a kick. The pasta includes vegetables that had huge broccoli stalks in there, it was too much and not appetizing. The penne pasta was broken up into little pieces that by the middle of my meal I was eating tiny pasta pieces. Garlic bread came with both pastas one was burned and the other was mushy very little flavor could have just included a pieces of bread. Ginger beer was flat and still had the chef Luciano's labels which I thought was kind of funny (this place used to be Luciano's). The cake slices were just ok very dry basic cake with thick very sweet frosting. For $71 not worth the value of the food I got. read more

Staff is welcoming when taking your orders. Food is really tasty with reasonable prices for quality food. Beats the fast food hamburger prices because you get a complete meal. Like having take out--- fast service and you are on your way in no time for walk in orders. read more

They do not wash their hands. They take good customers bring back and try to resale it. Covid-19 is still going on. Literally need to follow health procedures read more

Small, storefront but big delicious menu!!! I had the shrimp Alfredo with a side of beans. My coworker had the baked chicken. This place is so fresh, so delicious, I had a hard time deciding what to order! The veggies in the Alfredo were so fresh, like they were just picked fresh. Perfect amount of sauce! So highly recommended. No indoor seating at the moment, so we sat outside. People passing by even commented on how delicious our food looked. Staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations! I will definitely return!! read more

I ordered lunch from here today. I got the turkey chili and Brussels sprouts. The food was very good and the portions were generous. My order was ready at the estimated pickup time. I will return to try additional items. read more

Visiting the McCormick Center in Chicago recently, I came across the Mustard Seed kitchen down the block - very clean and impressive restaurant menu for takeout. The food was delicious, Staff very friendly and the prices very reasonable. Check this place out - you won't be disappointed read more

Soooo good fresh and generous portions! Will definitely order again. A little pricey but so worth it!!!

Wow! I don't usually write reviews while traveling but tried this place on a whim as it was just a few blocks away from my hotel. Usually when in Chicago i'll drive or take a car to good restaurants - but was super impressed with everything i got from Mustard Seed - just delicious! I read some of the reviews and was hopeful but tasting is truly believing here. I got the salmon and it was incredibly tender, perfectly cooked/seasoned, and paired with the most superb green beans I've ever had! The cauli mash was also quite good - which I expected but the beans were a huge surprise. Nobody does good beans like this! I also had the ceasar salad which is usually great or terrible but here it faired on the great side - the dressing was perfect. Finally, the finale was the cornbread which I swear is really cake. I saved it for dessert and it totally hit the spot. Bravo, Mustard Seed - dinner well played! I'll be back when I'm in Chicago again for sure! read more

I have been eating here lately a lot. I was a big fan of Chef Lucianos and so after COVID, I discovered that it had become Mustard Seed Kitchen. I have tried quite a few things on the menu and everything has been fantastic. lately, I go here once or twice week. The pork chops are amazing as well as the pasta. The Salmon and Gumbo are good too. My sincere compliments on the steak! They are now promoting a Fried Chicken lunch box for $20.00. I was excited to get it home yesterday, but it was awful. The chicken was tough, the batter left me unimpressed and overall the chicken pieces were hard. This is the first meal that they failed me on. Not only was it overpriced for 3 chicken thighs, mashed potatoes and cornbread, it was terrible. I still have 4 stars for everything else they have because they are truly good, but remove the lunch box. read more
