The Most Flavorful Gluten-Free in Chicago

Brightwok Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (648) • $$

"10/10 fast casual experience. Service is always fast and friendly. The flavor combinations offered are delicious (my personal fav is ordering a bowl with both CJ's BBQ sauce & Creamy Cashew sauce). Large portions. SO MANY vegetarian options. They are eco friendly; offering either compostable or reusable containers. To top it off, Brightwok also supports various nonprofits around the community & even recognizes high performing Chicagoland students via gifting complimentary bowls for A's on exams. If you live/work nearby.. this should be your daily lunch spot. I am always happy to support this local business."

Adobo Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (813) • $$

"Food was good. Nothing outstanding. The margaritas are in a super small martini glass. I think I finished mine in 2 sips... barely 2 gulps. Great outdoor seating space."

North Branch Pizza & Burger Company

★★★★☆ 3.8 (495) • $$

"Feels more like a bar with some food than a restaurant but this doesn't make it bad. It has lots of good drink and food specials to choose from. North Branch is a loud hangout in Glenview known for pizza. Also there's barbecue such as ribs and other kinds of meats. There's a few healthier options if you want any of those. Best thing about it is the specials they have on drinks and food. It has some kind of special every day pretty much. The Saturday one was $7 mojitos, so we got a few of these. Good flavor. The food is hit or miss. It's about $9 for the Village Hummus. This came with olive relish, toasted pitas, and vegetables. Good portion for the price to be honest. The pizza is probably the most popular. Has lots to choose from as far as drinks, and there's better than expected food. It has a lot of good sharing food including pizzas, wings, and that kind of stuff. There's all kinds of cheaper specials going on, so pick the best time by looking up the menu on the website."

The Sit Down Cafe & Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (388) • $$

"Came to this Hyde Park restaurant recently and enjoyed the casual atmosphere. It still manages to have some pretty classy sounding drinks and food. The Sit Down is exactly that, a restaurant you sit at a table and you order from there. Has quite a big menu and many different cuisines to choose from and it can be hard making a choice. You can get pizza, sushi, and tons of other stuff. A lot to choose from seriously, and it can be hard to choose. It took us awhile to look through the entire menu. There's a cocktail list in addition to the food, so you can also get your drink on while eating from the large variety of options. It's about $13 for most cocktails. The Basil Martini is an herbal version of the classic, with cucumbers, lime juice, and St. Germain. For the food it has a lot to choose from. We got some of the maki rolls. It's about $5 for the cheapest. The Avocado Maki and Kappa Maki are among the ones that are vegetarian. Each tasted fresh. These came out fast and we thought maybe they came out too fast but these were good quality. Get some drinks and food in a casual atmosphere at some of the best prices around. It's a lot cheaper than many other places around here. This has cocktails, pizza, and sushi among other things."

Oromo Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (287) • $

"Definitely go here. This is my favorite coffee spot i've been to in Chicago. The inside is super cute and cozy, and the place is just a breath of fresh air. Service was quick and everyone was very kind. I had the horchata latte and it was my favorite coffee I've had. The food was all interesting and different options. I had the date truffle and it was incredible. I'll def. go back!!"

Shakou - Park Ridge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (327) • $$

"This is one of the best spots in PR for dinner. The food is delicious. They have great entree options, a huge sushi menu and the service is fantastic. There is great music in the background that creates a fun vibe for a night out. There is bar seating and the bar staff make good cocktails."

"The bowl was delicious! The fritter made it especially good. What impressed me the most was the amazing customer service we received. I love this place but I forget about it. I won't forget after this experience. So many more bowls I want to try out!!"

Arya Bhavan

★★★★☆ 3.6 (281) • $$

"Here is an Indian restaurant with a selection of all vegan items to choose from. If that's something anyone is looking for they can't do wrong coming here. Arya Bhavan is about as good as it can get. Big menu full of classics with plant based takes and you would hardly even know. The prices aren't bad as far as Indian food, plus they give big portions. Came here recently and we didn't know how good it would be. It certainly was better than expected. The place is pretty nice looking but it's still casual, and the owners and staff were very helpful in finding things for individual tastes. It's about $12 or so for an entree. That's about average for Indian food around here. It helps that the portions are big. We got a couple of the classic favorites and were pleased. I got the Organic Tofu Tikka Masala. This used sautéed smoked vegan cheese, and it definitely was a convincing substitute. For sure we need to come here again. It has tons more interesting things to get. The menu is conveniently all vegan so there's no need to ask about ingredients as far as what's acceptable, plus there's a lot that's gluten free as well."

Art Of Dosa

★★★★☆ 4.4 (135) • $$

"Believe the hype!! Was looking for a vegan restaurant in downtown Chicago and thankfully Yelpers lead me here! Located in the Revival Food Hall, the Art of Dosa was noticeably one of the most popular eateries.Authentic Indian favorites wrapped into a crispy, crepe-like batter, was everything I didn't know I needed. I tried the Masala dosa and Ramen dosa with soup and a side of Biryani. EVERYTHING was delish! My favorite was the Masala dosa. Between the potato curry, fresh cabbage and coconut chutney, the robust flavors left my tastebuds satisfied. The soup was a nice compliment to the meal, the portion size was enough to feed two and the price was reasonable. The Revival Food Hall offers a variety of seating to choose from. The decor is trendy and vibrant and the music sets the tone for any occasion. The overall experience was a vibe. Trust you won't be disappointed."

Gordo's Tiny Taco Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (130)

"Getting here was kind of difficult to find depending on where you're coming from. We came from the upper level and could not figure out the location at all. Google kept telling us we arrived but we couldn't find it until you look on the wall of the downstairs plaza and you see this giant menu on the side of the building. Then you follow the directions to other restaurant and use the escalators to head downstairs.The service was great. Everyone was friendly and helpful when we were there. The food was delicious as well. The jamaica drink tasted very much like hibiscus and not powdery. The tacos were a good size and very flavorful. I wish they had another dessert but they ran out. Overall, if you're in the area, even as a tourist, give it a try"

Teriyaki Madness

★★★★★ 4.5 (34)

"Wow! This place is outstanding. The food was delicious! I ordered the Teriyaki Steak, fried rice, and vegetables. It was so good. The steak was tender with nice flavor. The fried rice, delicious, it was moist with great flavors. The vegetables were very good as well. It was an absolutely delicious dish. I highly recommend this place. The man who was at the front taking my order was very nice, and explained how to order, he was vert pleasant. Great experience."

Kimchi Pop

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"Ok - first time here and did a take out order. I think it was decent but by no means the best Korean I've ever had. Given that there's not many Korean options in this immediate area, this will do for now, but I wouldn't come out of my way for this place. I was expecting a little more more flavor out of the bulgogi plate with rice. Overall a solid 7/10 I'd say."

FARE - Loop

★★★★★ 4.5 (25)

"Could NOT have asked for a better lunch! WOW oh wow! Sure the photos I am sharing with this review look like dog vomit, but don't you dare judge a book by its cover because this food was PHENOMENAL! Clean, healthy and FLAVORFUL!!! It was just perfect and I am honestly SAD I don't have a location near where I live in Georgia! What I love aside from the taste (I'll dream about this place, I swear) is... That they are truly invested in using HEALTHFUL ingredients... No seed oils in sight! Thank you FARE FOOD for feeding me so well!"

BIBIBOP Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (28)

"This food is great! Second time ordering from this place, and it didn't disappoint. The regular size bowl is good enough for at least 2 meals depending on how much you put in it. My favorite is the beef with purple rice and tons of veggies on top and a drizzle of their spicy red sauce."
