My Friend Visited Chicago — Here’s What We Ate! 🙋🏻‍♀️

🍲 · Cocoro Japanese Restaurant So delicious!!! Lots of people have recommended this place — we shared a sukiyaki hot pot, and the portion was huge! We left super full, and splitting the bill made it pretty reasonable. 🍚 Rice and salad are refillable, but you have to order the raw egg separately. 🍦 After the meal, they gave us two flavors of ice cream — I absolutely loved the matcha one! 💚 🥩 · STK Steakhouse We ordered mushroom pasta and pan-seared salmon. Honestly, the best part was the complimentary butter bread before the meal 😅 My friend’s salmon was tasty, but my pasta was kinda bland (in my opinion). 💰 A bit pricey, but the vibe was nice. Venteux Brasserie, Cafe & Oyster Bar Highly recommended! This is a pretty popular spot in Chicago — I’ve tried their dinner menu twice and never been disappointed. Great for photos and the ambiance is lovely! 🥩 Their steak tartare is unforgettable — I still crave it sometimes! 🥘 Last time, I paired it with a braised vegetable dish — unexpectedly delicious and super filling! 🥞 · Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe A classic! You really can’t go wrong here — everything is good. 💡 Tip: Check their Uber Eats page for photos to help decide what to order! 📸 The food is super photogenic — just point and shoot, every pic turns out amazing 😉 🍗 · Jollibee On the last day, my friend really wanted fried chicken, so we ordered Jollibee for delivery (you can also dine in!). Their fried chicken with gravy is insanely flavorful — sooooo good! 🥔 The mashed potatoes are different from KFC’s — definitely worth a try! #ChicagoEats #FoodTour #ChicagoFoodie #FriendVisit #JapaneseFood #Steakhouse
