MC Bistro

Came here with the family for an early dinner. Service was amazing and gave great recommendations for food and drink. The mushroom dish is a must try if you come and the burger is one of the best in chicago!

Food was fantastic! Had been an a little nervous because I had heard of controversial news about this place, but our service was just fine and we had a...

Great experience at Schwa. The food is innovative and exciting but it was chef Carlson and his team that made the night truly memorable. They were so cool...

Each course was a marvel! There is no better place for inventive and delicious food, served creatively. Ingredients, execution, and presentation are...

Finally ventured outside of our west loop restaurant bubble to come here. Really enjoyed the imperial rolls and the chicken wings. The Brussels sprouts were nothing special and really, shouldn’t they be special if ordering at a restaurant? The crab rice was good, not something I’d enthusiastically order again. The standout though was the garlic noodle with shrimp, which didn’t come out with the rest of the food and we’d forgotten we ordered; our plates were already cleared when it arrived…so we took it to go. Overall, an enjoyable meal

Would give Mott St a 6/5 stars if I could. Every. Single. Dish is incredible. Our favorites were the cauliflower, spring rolls, and skirt steak. The ambiance is super chic, and the service was impeccable. Can't wait to come back!

Food was good, but it was hard to see a theme and most of the dishes tasted like each other. I found it confusing. The strictly-enforced 90 minute rule ruins the vibe. The whole thing felt rushed. We ordered and the food started arriving about 3 minutes later, which is disconcerting. There's no time to relax and savor the food, it was all just coming at us without hesitation. At 85 minutes we got the bill and the staff hovered until it was paid. This is not "hospitality". This was food service. I would gladly pay 20% more for a relaxing dining experience. This was my second time there (first was before the 90 minute rule). It will be my last time there.

I’ve come here a few times over the last few years, and this place does not disappoint. The food is always top notch, service is always amazing, and I always enjoy trying different plates every time I come here. Some of my favorites are the oyster mushrooms, pork belly, and Thai tea cheesecake. This time around, I tried the whole fish with my family, and we devoured it. So fresh and the sides it came with were delicious!!!

The food was good. Not outstanding, but definitely good, and interesting. The prices were very high, for 5 small plates and two cocktails, the bill was almost $250 after tip. The service was very poor and rushed. The waitress told us to put in all of our food at the beginning, so "the chef can time the meal," but what that amounted to was all of our 5 plates coming out within 12 minutes. One plate on top of the other, within 25 minutes of arriving at the restaurant, we had all 5 plates and our first round of cocktails stacked up at the table. On top of that, the check was brought before we had even finished the meal, within 35 minutes of arriving. For a $250 meal, I would have expected much better and classier service, especially when they instruct you to put in your entire order. We watched the tables around us receiving the same rush of plates, so I can't say it was isolated. I struggled with this review on this. The food alone was probably 4-ish stars. But the price and extremely rushed service was less than desirable and made for an experience that was forgettable. If I did return, I would order at my own pace, not theirs. Perhaps a word of advice to those reading the review.

Saturday 5:15-6:45pm Reservation - Fantastic! Highly recommended that you bring a group. Group-style eatery with Asian-based foods. My buddies and I ordered the following: Everything garlic and shrimp noodles (Savory noodles with top-notch sauce); Garlic fried rice (Balanced dish with light vegetables); Char Siu Pork Belly (Honestly, take a moment to savor this dish - delicately cooked meat); Oyster Mushroom (10 for 10 - we wished to order this again. The light oyster sauce with mushrooms were so good!); Crispy Chili Cauliflower (Actual crisp over soft cauliflower); Stuffed Cabbage (A wonderful side to all the goodness on the table.) We would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for the amazing service!
