service is always timely even when they have a full house. nothing but pleasant experiences here. the bill was decent for the quality.

Great spot for an appetite of any size. Fast, efficient, and courteous service. Prices are reasonable. Mood here reminds me of San Diego's scene.

Great food hall with plenty of tasty options. There is something for everyone here. Lots of seating and the food vendors have happy hour deals.

Awesome place to have a meal, many options. Ate at the Mexican spot, Tolita, excellent bowls. The only issue was they were out of black beans. Great outdoor seating when weather permits. Indoor seating is fine, a little loud.

Cool venue with nice ambiance and music. Great drinks and good food but I wouldn’t say there’s exactly something for everyone. Probably more fun in the summer

This food hall has about 12 different stalls, with a large bar in the center and tons of tables. We went as a group of four and tried about 5 of the different vendors. Each was good, although slightly pricey. They were featuring discounts at every vendor if you used Apple Pay (first Friday of every month). Overall food seems creative and the actual seating is nice.

I was very excited about the Politan Row. Gathered a group of friends to go. We were all disappointed.The idea of a Food Hall and variety of ethnic and American foods is great. However, I was disappointed at the food. I ordered a falafel bowl, thinly lined with hummus and a few falafel. I paid extra for the other side condiments. $18.00. (I don't mind paying if the food was good). This cannot compares to Naf Naf.We also tried a Asian noodle dish. It was starchy and over sweetened. The Hainan chicken was shredded chicken and no taste.I would not recommend this place.Presentation is greatThe employees at the food stations were friendly and they make a good sale. But more importantly, the food must seal the sale for repeat customers.

This food hall is quite new. I heard it opened not long ago, may be in May? Anyway, the place is quite spacious and clean. The options are quite plenty. They have different stations focusing food from different countries (Japan, India, Singapore, America, etc.)Since we just had our lunch before we stopped by this place, we just ordered some snacks. We ordered the coconut mochi cake and fried curry bun from the Japanese Station. The coconut mochi was really good, but the curry bun was ok only. The bun was a bit hard to chew, but the filling was very tasty.Lobster rolls was ok only, quite pricey.Overall:Food: 3.5starsMenu: 4starsPrice: $$Service: 4starsIt’s ok only....

Chicago has its fair share of food halls, and Politan Row is definitely up there as one of my favorites. The space has a chic and industrial vibe to it, the food and drink options are unique, and the perks of having servers and deals really set them apart. I've only gone for their first Friday deal and during weekends for 50% off at Passion House (via Apple Pay).Food and drink-wise, there's a wide variety of choices, and I appreciate how many unique Asian food options they have. You won't find most of the vendors elsewhere. The food is just a tad on the pricey side $10-15 for entree only) but on par with the premium vibe going on here, not to mention everything is also incredibly Instagrammable and visually pleasing. Mom's desserts are a MUST try as well as Passion House's specialty drinks. Also, what's unique here is that there are actually servers who pour water and take away used dishes for you.As a workspace, it works well since there are tables and outlets and reliable wifi. It does get loud during meal service hours but never too crowded to not be able to find a table.

This place is good, only been there twice now and I really enjoyed Suki. Its the Israeli station when you first walk in, loved the hummus and falafel sandwich. Also had the pork cutlet sandwich at another Asian station. There are about 12 stations offering coffee, food and of course a big bar in the center of the space. Will return.
