“Pretentious, over-priced”

I was dragged in for lunch and regretted it. The food is pretentious, busy, and sloppy (i.e. too much liquid). "Fusion" means that they mix up stuff they shouldn't. They also pull tourist stunts like suggesting too much to order and bringing two bottles of sparkling water (for three people) without asking about the second. At these bloated prices, I'm... more

It has great ambience and food! I would say a bit over priced though. But, it is Chicago and everything out there seemed to be overpriced. It was really nice though especially since we were on vacation. Good service, good food, just a little pricey. But, I would go again! more

We really enjoyed our dining experience at China Grill. They have a tasting menu which was $69 each and got to sample a bunch of items from the menu. The portions were adequate and we were definitely very content. If I went back I would just order off the menu now that I know which items I like best. The... more

LOVED it! The service was Stellar - really a 5 star experience. The food was outstanding. I was nervous at first because when we walked in it didn't seem like a child friendly restaurant - so elegant and there were no other kids in sight - but they treated my 4 year old like a king! Our server, Matthew, even... more

As a solo traveler, this isn't the place you order an entree. They are large and meant to be shared (and therefore a hefty price). Instead, try the chef's appetizer trio...chef selects three appetizers for $11. Perfect price. Had a great spicy ceasar salad (the cayenne-pepper roasted cashews were a fantastic touch), chicken satay in peanut sauce (the noodles were... more

I eagerly awaited the arrival of China Grill in Chicago since I love the New York location. I have been to the Chicago location three times, twice for dinner and once for breakfast. I was ill after both dinners and I never get ill from food. Breakfast was actually good but American food only. more

We went to the China Grill on Christmas day 2005, and would never go back again. The service was terrible and the food over priced and nothing to rave about. We had to wait 10 minutes before anyone came to our table once we were seated. We ordered drinks and the waiter completely forgot about it. We ordered entrees and... more
