They recently changed the menu so goodbye sea bass , turkey club , and perfectly seasoned French fries . Shaki shaki, chicken nachos , and Asian chopped are still on point...as well as their soundtrack.

Jamie Rasmussen

The pulled chicken nachos are delicious! Huge portion & u just wana eat all of it! So be careful if it's just 2 of u. hub was so nice & surprised us with a free piece of carrot cake for first timers!

Mark Wong

One of my favourite late night eat spots. Half price sushi after 11pm. Great atmosphere (lively w/ good music ), quick service with a club in the basement . Never disappoints. Try the jugs of mojito .

Shanan

One of the best all-around restaurants in Chicago. The staff was friendly and welcomed folks in street clothes or all dressed up. If it's your first visit, they may offer you a free dessert !

Sara Sigel

Great music and beer , the ahi tuna burger was delicious, and since we were first timers we had to try the carrot cake . The service was amazing!

Jessica Toliuszis

Make your own River north mimosas ~ order a bottle of champagne & a carafe of hub punch ~ plus wear your pj's & get 10% off ~ wear your sunglasses for bonus points

Lee Cohen

The streak frites was amazing, probably the biggest steak I have gotten at any restaurant where I have gotten steak frites . The spicy tuna with spicy mayo is really good as well .

Brooke Furniss

This is quickly becoming our go to restaurant . They have everything. The nachos are awesome! They are HUGE! A half order will feed 2. Tacos (fish or braised short rib ) are great!

Behrad Eats

The Green Chili Cheeseburger here is just exceptional! Grated sharp cheddar , fire-roasted poblano chilies & chipotle aioli . They also have a decent beer list .

Madeline Gullett

They have something for everyone! Burgers , sushi , salads , drinks, everything! I can go with my friends or dad and everyone's happy. I personally love the sushi and salads !

Arthur McTaggart

Perfect spot to enjoy a beer before your flight. Relaxing atmosphere , with great people watching .

Julie Fekete

My go-to spot for lunch in river north. For vegetarians : chips and guac app (delic),Brussels sprout salad , sweet potato roll and veggie burger . All solid choices.

Jenn G

I love the chill vibe for late night food & drinks! Music playing but I can still hear my friends without yelling at each other...hub punch and miso-glazed sushi are on point. ????

Love the nachos and tuna poke . The smores dessert and carrot cake were also good, but very heavy!

Marcel E

Food here was delicious. We made a reservation and got seated within 5 minutes. Food came out really fast and just as we ordered it. We were in and out in under an hour.

Time Out Chicago

The crowd is as varied as the eats—tourists, lunching ladies and local working stiffs rub elbows—and everyone seems content with the large portions . Braised pork tacos and plump maki are both hits. Read more

Zach Solomon-Beloin

Obsessed with their chips and guacamole (has corn at the bottom)! I did not like the salmon sushi roll . The punch will treat you well - totally recommend.

Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)

One of my favorite spots in Chicago. Great sushi and saké . Great service and an excellent atmosphere. A must visit in Chicago.

Axer Daxer

Saturday brunch , 50's, 60's music provided a nice atmosphere. Wish the menu mentioned the fish tacos were build your own. When built they were a little underwhelming.

Naomi Tolson

Brunch is a must especially with their brown sugar bacon and short rib benedict

Adam Langdon

Had happy hour sushi , a lovely beer special and a fantastic chicken ! A sort of cauliflower cous cous or something was also very good!

Tana Babcock

The crispy fish sandwich is tangy , tasty and with just a hit of heat. So good!

Jeff Early

Tight space good burgers for Evanston. Slaw is savory heaven. Bloody Mary bar , I will forgo my Sazarac for that. Go off peak and eat well .

Time Out Chicago

The Melman boys set out with the premise that they’d create a restaurant just like one they’d want to hang out in and build a menu of dishes they like to eat when they go out. Read more

Jennifer Straub

Pomegranate mojitos ? Don't mind if I do. Also, if you're feeling like setting your diet aside, the nachos are insanely delicious. They're also enough to feed a small family.

Réjane T

One of my favorite Chicago establishments. Nachos , tacos , cornbread , ahi , turkey chili , guacamole ...all good!! Weekend nights at the bar can get craaazay...

Jillian Burnickas

The food here is awesome. I had the prime rib tacos and they were delicious. I really want to try the club downstairs.

Nae Nae

The CORNBREAD ! Get it. I live in the South so I know good cornbread &the HUBs is incredible! Oh and So is the sushi

Mohammed Hassan-Ali

It's definitely busy, but the scene is nice and a great place to eat with friends.

Lyndsey Wallace

Save room for dessert . Carrot Cake would make you give up any diet your on; and don't be deterred "foam", after Peanut Butter Foam you may never be satisfied by peanut butter cups again.

People

Stars like Josh Duhamel and the Glee cast load up on their crunchy tuna rolls and famous carrot cake–only to dance off the calories downstairs at Sub51. Tip: Make a reservation or expect a big wait.

Bloomingdale's

While definitely a scene for near North Side singles, this edgy-looking environs also boasts an eclectic menu . Come for the company, stay for the sushi . And of course the usual cache of cool cocktails

Ghadah AM ✨

Burrata , cheeseburger and chicken nachos are the best

Mark Wong

Great service, food came quickly, nice decor, and half price sushi from 3-6pm on weekdays!

Philip Smith

Hummus and nacho appetizers are very good; lots of great selections on the menu from sushi to steak !

Emmanuel Cordero

The lemon "skinny" pancake is great, lightly sour, lightly sweet. It's a huge pancake , so order them If you have a super appetite.

Jasmeve Deacobs

The carrot cake is SO GOOD. And the sushi is mouth watering OMG

Ninah Randolph

Nice atmosphere. Went after work so there wasn't really a wait. The greek fries are really good and they have a decent beer list .

Linda Felter

The chips and guacamole are great. Thin crispy chips and corn hiding at the bottom of the guac . Dig deep!

John Chinello

This is my favorite go-to place in Chicago. Lots of options to choose from, good quality and great service.

Danielle Nash

I'll go back again and again for the amazing food and great service. Oh, and the carrot cake is to die for.

John E

Breakfast nachos are incredible! Also a nice selection of brunch cocktails .

Melanie Mapes

No wait for Sunday brunch ! Delish apple baked French toast , breakfast tacos and more. Heck, show up in PJs and get 10% off. Hurry, before the secret gets out & the line forms out the door.

Carol

The tacos were great & so was the burger ! Try the Hub Punch , it's an awesome cocktail

Nick Sonsteby

The brussel sprout salad is fantastic. The pulled chicken nachos are worth getting over and over.

Michael Dorsey

Trendy restaurant with lively atmosphere . Full bar with top notch bartenders .

Alyx Heartcore

Try the chicken anchors and have a glass of their Rose . Best music too-- mix of indie/alt. Great service and hip interior.
