“ My new favorite spot. We went for restaurant week and then had to go back again two weeks later because we loved it so much. The vibe inside is fun, the atmosphere, music, everything is on point. The food is so delicious. We have tried the Larb, the curry fries, the green salad, the Dan Dan noodles, the burger, the chili Mac-Bokki. The only thing we found slightly disappointing was the dessert. The matcha beignets are more like won tons, the flavor is fine. The ube French toast is really tasty but not quite the texture I expect from French toast. ”
“ Super awesome new hole in the wall!! Chill vibes, awesome decor, great service, and most importantly great food, had the “Internet”, Veggie egg rolls, and chicken wings! The noodles were FIRE, Wings were amazing, way better than your classic “Korean chicken wings” everyone loves nowadays, you NEED to check this place out 100% ”
“ A perfect Valentine’s dinner 50 pp for 4 dishes each and a drink is the best deal in Chicago. Love the vibey atmosphere with the club music played at the perfect volume to still have a convo, amazing cocktails, and great street food inspired plates. Felt like a low-key Chicago take on Vegas’s Best Friend !! ”
“ This place is a hidden gem! The food was incredible, huge portions, and the staff is so attentive and kind! Loved everything we ate and drank, and the shot we took with the owner! Can’t wait to come back again! ”
“ Really cool Friday night dining experience. The menu is nice and tight. Every dish is special. The burger was amazing, the popcorn chicken delectable, seasoned fries were on point. Very attentive owners and wait staff. DJ was jamming. Decor gave the eyes lots to explore. Got a to go Indonesia Internet. Definitely going back again. ”
“ Had a fantastic experience at Jook Sing for restaurant week. The food was excellent, extremely flavorful and nice sized portions. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed; a DJ was playing really fun music, but not so loud you couldn't hear one another. All around a really great evening- I will be recommending this to others. ”
“ Impressed by this new spot! The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, a rare experience these days. The menu felt very intentional and seems like they put a lot of effort into making something special. And that shown through the food. The egg rolls were a highlight, and the popcorn chicken was unlike the typical breaded bites. The seasoning was unique and memorable. Don't miss the egg rolls and popcorn chicken. The fried rice and lo mein noodles were also delightful. All food is shareable. Drinks were great as well. We got the slushie and the spritz. The vibrant decor was cool, with bright colors. Hoping Jook Sing thrives; it deserves to stay in the neighborhood for a long time! ”
“ I was really excited about visiting Jook sing, however, the burger and chicken sandwich were just not my palette. I loved everything else like the vibe, decor, service and attentiveness of the staff. The two appetizers we started off with were also delicious like the popcorn chicken and Singapore char kway. I thought the chicken sandwich was overly dominated by the seasonings it had that it almost felt like a sweet seasoned sandwich. I still took it home and didn’t mention anything about it because I didn’t want to be or sound rude since this may just be a different cuisine that just didn’t suit my taste. Again, I still really liked this place and I hope to come back and try other items off their menu. Also the coffee cocktail was so good! ”
