Chicken Paprikash in a pumpkin
Gabriel N.

Now this was an experience! Delicious cocktails, authentic Ukrainian appetizers presented artistically, and hearty, exquisite and piping-hot mains. The service was excellent - friendly, informative and kind. The environment is whimsical and tasteful. It gives that Eastern European "going out tonight" vibe. Tryzub feels like vacation, with Ukrainian culture permeating every delicious course.

Hand made Potato&Cheese Varenyky Pirogie . Good but they put diced red paprika, it's should not be there ...

Another visit. Ordered Borch and Pierogie Very good. Will order it again, only Pierogie should not be on it ...

The main dining area.

When I stepped into Tryzub, I felt like I was back in my Lviv. The restaurant was beautifully adorned with Ukrainian relics, books about Ukraine, and magical string lighting. The ceilings were a marvel to look at and the corner of the room was painted with a mural of Lviv's center. We had made a reservation as it was my birthday and Easter weekend. It was a good thing we did, because Tryzub was fully packed. When we got there, we checked in and were promptly seated. Our waitress, Vasylyna, took great care of us and I loved how I was able to order in Ukrainian. As far as the food, everything was delicious and tasted like back at home in Ukraine. I had the Chicken Kiev and my better half had the goulash. You cannot go wrong with either dish. For drinks, we had the kompot, a sour cherry infused spirit (which our waitress brought for me as a birthday gift), and a light Ukrainian beer. I really liked the infused spirit, and I loved the range of flavors that they have of these. Even though the restaurant was a 25 minute Uber ride from our hotel, we are so glad that we came here. My birthday celebration was complete at Tryzub and a special thank you to Vasylyna who made it even more special!!

What an incredible hidden gem!! My husband and I came here for a date night and it definitely impressed. Serving Ukrainian dishes, both traditional and elevated, with an eclectic coktail menu in a very culturally adorned and spacious setting, Tryzub impressed on every front. Highly recommend their medley dish that's roasted in a pumpkin, the flavors and presentation were incredible and you get to have a bit of the pumpkin in the rind afterwards! Service was attentive and eager to explain any menu items that were confusing. A bit on the higher price point but worth every penny, highly recommend!

Yelp... I wrote this entire review in Russian... then I went to post and you only left punctuation. What gives?! Here is the translation of what I wrote, thank goodness I had it saved. Please forgive that which sounds funky in translation. I won't lie. I've been putting this review off and on. I've been here twice, tried a lot of things, and haven't written a review. So, this review won't have all the details that I usually include, where I take each dish apart and tell you everything I thought. No. But this review will be in Russian (I wish, Yelp, I shake both my fists at thee!) I have Ukrainian heritage. Although my parents came from the Soviet Union, they were in Ukraine. The dishes my mother cooked were Ukrainian and those that were eaten in the general Soviet Union. Therefore, although I am not an expert on Ukrainian gastronomy, I ate real Ukrainian dishes at home. This is what Tryzub does well. Their food is one hundred and ten percent based on traditional food that was eaten in Ukraine and the General Union. What is especially cool is that Tryzub not only cooks traditional food, but does something creative with each dish. The quality of the ingredients and the food is amazing. Everything is thought out very well and everything is very fresh. I will tell you a big secret, because my mother does not read my reviews, that the mushroom soup I had here was a little bit tastier than what I eat at home. Now let's talk about the atmosphere. The whole restaurant is covered with memorabilia related to Ukraine and Ukrainian heritage. The decorations take up practically every space on the wall. But even then, they did not overdo it. There are restaurants that throw a bunch of pictures on and the result is God knows what. This is not the case here. Here you feel like you are in a Ukrainian home. And I want to add, some of the decorations are even a little funny. Now I want to talk about the service. It was very friendly. The food came out of the kitchen quickly, and the waitress who looked after us did everything in her power to make sure we had an awesome time. I'll tell you what helps me: I see "salo" or "borscht" - I know what it is. These dishes don't scare me. I imagine an American might see "traditional plate of lard" and ask: "What is this?" They'll tell him: "It's a pork product that's so fatty that it'll melt in the pan." Some will probably look at this waitress as if she had three heads. These things don't scare me. But it's precisely what I know that gives me the opportunity that when I bring my friends here who don't have Ukrainian or Soviet heritage, I can tell them what it is and tell them not to be afraid. In the worst case, I'll order it for myself, and they'll pinch off a piece of mine and then they'll understand: "Oh, this is delicious, listen!" Tryzub is one of the best restaurants I've been to. Not only in the Ukrainian food category, but in general. I would happily recommend this place to everyone. And if friends come to visit me, I won't let them go home until they are here.

MINI POTATO PANCAKES FLAVORFUL TRIO
Ellie G.

We thought it was really good. We have things that we want to try for next time - that is always a good sign! Great atmosphere - it feels like your grandmother's house from the old country, there is so much to look at. The servers were very accommodating and friendly.

Honey Cake

Really enjoyed my visit to Tryzub! There's a wide variety of varenyky on the menu--we started with the fried varenyky as an appetizer, and they were a great choice. The chicken Kyiv was tender with a rich, flavorful filling that really stood out. Service was good and attentive, especially since it wasn't too busy during our visit. The atmosphere is well decorated with lots of interesting Ukrainian facts and cultural touches, which makes the space feel welcoming and unique. Bonus points for the strong and interesting vodka drinks. Overall, a great spot for authentic food, good drinks, and a relaxed experience. Would definitely return when in the Chicago.

Anti-Putin decoration

I visited Chicago in March and went out of my way to visit this Ukrainian restaurant that had so many good reviews. It was around 1:45 PM on Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. The food was fantastic. The food was authentic, unique, and full of flavor. There were no bad dishes ordered! They also had a wide selection of drinks and cocktails, but I didn't feel like drinking that day. One small hiccup: when I first sat down, the server didn't give me the brunch menu, so I ordered from the regular lunch menu without realizing brunch was still available. Once I saw other people getting brunch dishes, I switched part of my order over. It wasn't a big deal, but it would've been nice to know all my options from the start. The vibe of the place was nice. It was casual and welcoming. Near the bathrooms, there's some bold anti-Putin artwork, which was both surprising and entertaining. All in all, this spot felt like one of those finds you want to tell everyone about, but also kind of want to keep to yourself because it's so good. I'll definitely be back - next time, for brunch right away.

Hunter's Stew
Kimmi M.

Wow is all I can say to start. Upon walking in, this is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the neighborhood. The service was very welcoming and gave a great rundown of the menu. I'm familiar with Eastern European food being Eastern European myself, but knew nothing of Ukrainian food. The potato pancake flight is a great starter! I had the hunters stew and it was so filling and luscious for a cold day. The real hidden gem here is the infused spirits, seriously they have a flavor for every kind of cocktail. The Bloody Mariyka was superb and a wonderful compliment to the app. I can't wait to come back for supper. The brunch menu is smaller than the dinner menu as expected but I need to engage the full menu for maximum food coma enjoyment.

Hetman Skillet

In Chicago for the weekend and made my way to Ukrainian Village. Tryzub was highly rated, so I went there for lunch. Being half Ukrainian and having lived in Kyiv, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia as I stepped into the restaurant. The walls are adorned with various things that make you feel like you're in someone's home. Ukrainian pop music plays through the speakers. I sat at the bar, which features even more interesting aesthetics. I really wanted to holubtsi, but they were featuring their brunch menu. I had a breakfast skillet (essentially shakshuka) and potato pancakes. The skillet was great. The eggs could have used a pinch of salt, but the toasted, seasoned rye bread that's served with it more than makes up for it. Some people like thick potato pancakes, while I prefer them thin and crispy. The ones at Tryzub are somewhere in the middle. But they're served with plenty of sour cream and a tasty mushroom cream sauce. The bartender was friendly and accommodating, and I happily purchased a Tryzub t-shirt (the same ones that staff wear). If you're in Chicago and want to experience and support a Ukrainian business that also serves fantastic food, Tryzub is your spot!

This restaurant embodies the heart and soul of Ukrainian Village- the food and atmosphere both deliver bold, refined sensations while also paying homage to Ukrainian history and tradition. The service is expeditious and genial. We ordered a menagerie of different dishes- a Varenyky (Pierogi) party platter, Chicken Kyiv, and Goulash. They all tasted unique and superb. The Varenyky were definitely the fan favorite, I got to try very interesting combination of new flavors. I'm no expert on authentic Ukrainian food so I can't speak on its authenticity but the flavors were all delectable.

Cheesy pancakes
Taylor M.

Tryzub remains one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the Chicago area (and probably one of my favorite restaurants period). It is such a special place. The ambiance and energy is so warm and inviting. The service is top tier and the food and drinks never miss. I always look forward to a Chicago trip because I know we'll be getting a meal in here.

Winter Borsch, Ukrainian pierogis, and I can't remember the larger flat thing- but it was DELICIOUS!
Kellie O.

We were visiting Chicago in September, and wanted Ukrainian food, we took several trains and walked 1.5 miles, and an uber to get here. It was worth every mile! It was the best meal we'd had in a long time!

Tricky combo: could I get something that is both vegetarian and gluten-free?

Most all of the menu can be viewed as gluten free. You can get the borscht without the pork on request. The potato pancakes and veg cakes can be done with potato starch - I would just ask. The vereneky/pierogi are not going to be gluten free because… Read more

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
