Fabulous service. Wonderfully inventive food. Go family style to enjoy more dishes- we had 6 dishes for 5 people and it was great. Plus shared desserts. Will definitely return
another outstanding dining experience! A wonderful way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I kept asking my wife which dish she liked the best. Her answer? All of them! I could not agree more. Seafood pancake, vegetable tempura and pork bossam. All were terrific. Service, as always, was warm, knowledgeable and attentive. The new decor was amazing! thank you, Chef Beverly! thank you!
I was so excited when Parachute re-opened. While the ambiance and service were great, I was disappointed with the food. It wasn't bad, but nothing memorable and certainly not worth the hefty price tag.
I found the food and service to be quite good at Parachute but it wasn't exactly what I expected. The menu is actually quite limited and there were many traditional Korean foods that weren't included. I tried for several days to reach the restaurant by phone to try to discuss changing the reservation but they simply didn't answer the phone and didn't respond to my email. I expected a large table with room for several dishes but the table was way to small to make it easy to have several dishes. Finding parking was difficult and the room was too noisy for pleasant conversation, The food was too expensive and, while very good, didn't justify the cost. I was appalled that they added a 20% gratuity automatically and also suggested adding a further tip. Overall, the visit was a worthwhile venture but I won't return and I think there are other Korean restaurants in the city that are better. I think the other reviews were so positive that they made me want to visit but I couldn't give Parachute the glowing review that others. did.
Parachute is back. Changed but just as good. Itâs also a great vibe at the counter. Theyâve hired a great team.
Delicious through and through. Canât wait to go back!
Incredibly refined, tasty, and authentic Korean food of my childhood. Surpassed all expectations. And baby and family friendly! Can't wait to go back!
My wife and I had obviously heard many fantastic things (including their multiple prestigious accolades), and after dining at the sister concept, Wherewithall, we decided to book a rezo at Parachute. It is a fairly small, cozy space, and we had to book weeks out to secure a spot. I loved the vintage audiophile aesthetic - complete with records, CDs, and old receivers and speakers. Small but perfectly executed menu with quite reasonable prices for the quality. We tried the seafood pancake, dry aged bulgogi beef, and whole grilled yellow corvina. Everything was absolutely fantastic including all the accoutrements (house made kimchi, pickles, eggplant, etc.). Cocktails, soju, wine, and beer were all new and exciting. And last but not least, our server was friendly, timely, knowledgeable, made great suggestions, and took care of us with patience. An absolute must try restaurant in Chicago!
I was very disappointed and completely underwhelmed by the food here. Also, there's a 20% service charge for non-wait staff, insurance and inflation. I wish this was just incorporated in to the price of the food.
The service was excellent but thatâs where the excellence stops. The pork belly and collar were bland, it had a steamed appearance to it. Everything was salty yet still seemed bland and under seasoned. I was so looking forward to this meal. I had so many people tell me itâs going to be a spectacular experience. I was very disappointed and that seems to be the trend lately as I read the reviews. I really hate to give bad reviews but for an almost $300 dinner it was A disappoint.
