The Best Dishes Eater Chicago Editors Ate This Week: August 22 | Eater Chicago

"At a time when large restaurant groups dominate the scene, Mister Tiger’s success as a family-run venture feels especially refreshing. The Korean spot opened in West Town earlier this year and has distinguished itself as one of the city’s best newcomers. The menu balances homey staples such as japchae, chive pancakes, and spicy tofu stew with more luxurious options like uni rice — which I ordered on a visit this past week. A bowl of sizzling rice comes beautifully topped with uni, tobiko, kimchi, pickles, and veggies. Mix it all up for a comforting side dish that has layers of flavors. Even my dining companion, who is usually staunchly opposed to leftovers, agreed to take what little remained home. Pair the rice with the woodae galbi for a most memorable combination." - Jeffy Mai
