Owamni by the Sioux Chef
Native American restaurant · Downtown West
I haven’t been here yet, but my friends have LOVED it. They’ve been named best new restaurant and are up for James Beard awards. If you want to eat here book now, it’s difficult to get reservations
Union Hmong Kitchen
Permanently Closed
Super delicious Hmong food! I’ve had the Hmong sausage and the chicken, and have heard the fish dishes are also really good. Another restaurant up for awards this year
Young Joni
Permanently Closed
This is my favorite of Ann Kim’s restaurants in town. She makes incredible pizzas, the bibimbap inspired grain bowl is great as are the meats and veggies, but my favorite part is the back bar (separate door in the alley). It’s a chill place to grab a delicious pizza and a drink and hang out. Back bar is open when the red light in the alley is on
Spoon and Stable
New American restaurant · North Loop
Upscale dining, local favorite. Make reservations ASAP. I haven’t been but my friends have raved
Dong Yang Oriental Foods
Korean grocery store · Hilltop
My favorite Korean grocery store & restaurant in town ❤️ Their menu is small, but I love this place. When I miss Seoul, I go here
Korea Restaurant
Korean restaurant · Prospect Park - East River Road
Another favorite Korean restaurant. They’re one of the only Korean restaurants in town with 도가니탕, which I usually get
Que Viet Village House
Vietnamese restaurant · Windom Park
The greatest pork egg roll on the planet. I’m not exaggerating They serve Vietnamese and Chinese American food. Hot and spicy chicken is also delicious, but if you like pork, all you need is the pork egg rolls. It’s the best dish they make
Tavial Grill Mexican Food
Mexican restaurant · West 7th Federation/Fort Road
Family run restaurant with delicious Mexican food
Matt's Bar
Hamburger restaurant · Powderhorn Park
Have you had a Jucy Lucy? It’s a burger stuffed with cheese. Wait a minute before you bite or you’ll burn your face off. Matt’s is a chill neighborhood bar. Local lore - two bars here claim to have invented the Jucy Lucy. Burger drama

A local favorite trendy Italian restaurant and wine bar. I’ve not been yet but have only ever heard good things. Near downtown in the North Loop neighborhood
Japanese-Italian fusion. I haven’t been. Has great reviews. Sister restaurant to Kado No Mise
Omakase tasting menu, reservations required. Upstairs is their Japanese premium whiskey bar, Gori Gori Peku
Anthony Bourdain said Trung Nam makes the best croissants he’s ever had outside of Paris. Go early morning, they sell out fast
They have the best cake donuts in town, there’s no competition. The donuts are the best, and some of the bars
EVERYTHING HERE IS DELICIOUS. The gyro and kebab sandwiches and salads are my favorites. Super fresh, tasty food and the owner is really nice. Open for lunch & located downtown
Super delicious food!! When I want a break from winter, we get their poke and bbq chicken and pretend we’re on our honeymoon again. So happy they’re here 🥰 They’re not too far from First Avenue, too!
Fast casual local spot with such delicious food. The green sauce is so so so good. They serve fusion Somali dishes. Ugh, now I want a sambusa and their Chicken Fantastic
Delicious sandwiches, the best vegan cheese I’ve ever had (it actually melts), I love the K-bbq ribs. The first vegan butcher in the US. My family aren’t vegan, we just eat here because the food is so good

Italian family-run neighborhood spot with yummy sandwiches and home style pasta. They use their mom’s sauce recipe, it’s delicious 😋
OMG get the sope. Or the huarache. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried here. Great meats. The food can be a little heavy

Victor’s is one of my favorite breakfast places! Everything is delicious
I’ve only ever been here for breakfast. Everything breakfast is awesome! Get the corn pancakes!
Everyone I know raves about their food, especially breakfast. I’ve never been here, but if you’re staying downtown this is a solid option. They don’t make omlets, though ㅠㅠ
