Description

Offerings at this hip haven in Bucktown crisscross the globe. Chef Edward Kim has a vivid imagination and his cooking takes detours through delicious landscapes, pulling off a rare feat of cooking delicious Midwest/Asian food with a touch of novelty. Take the crispy cauliflower, for one. These wok-fried cauliflower florets are crisp and juicy, then served with a sweet and tangy chili sauce, Szechuan peppercorn and coriander for a savory dish that's both warm and wonderful. Garlic fried rice may be simple and to the point but it's oh-so-good with pungent garlic and flavorful seasoning. Do keep

Review summary

Mott St. is a contemporary fusion restaurant in Chicago known for its Asian-inspired small plates and highly rated burgers, holding an average TripAdvisor score of 4.2/5. Food quality is the primary strength, with shareable dishes like crispy chili cauliflower and whole fish receiving praise for their creativity and portion sizes. However, some guests note inconsistent flavor profiles and pacing issues. Service is generally accommodating and friendly, though walk-ins may be declined during peak times. The atmosphere is lively and eclectic, featuring unique decor and outdoor seating, which appeals to social diners but can be noisy. Value is mixed; while many find the food worth the visit, some consider the pricing high for the quantity, particularly for larger groups.
