Reviews on Avli, Coopers Hawk, Lao Peng You, and Chicago Ramen - Eater Chicago
"Cooper Hawk’s Gold Coast location 'is not a foodie paradise' but it 'works best for wine-fueled celebrating' and business lunches. The chain’s flagship features a 'long-winded menu' full of winners and losers. Hummus topped with roasted carrots, cauliflower, and sweet onions is 'darned good,' as are chicken pot stickers with Asian cabbage slaw. Soy-ginger Atlantic salmon is another hit that’s accompanied by 'luscious' wasabi-buttered mashed potatoes. However, the meat on the prime rib sandwich is 'overdone and overchewy,' and beef tenderloin medallions on a 'life balance' plate are 'similarly overcooked.'" - Jeffy Mai
