Boka Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Beautiful restaurant and sophisticated.
We tried some of the smaller dishes which the beef tartare was fresh and well balance with the chips on top. The scallops on the other hand with the sauce on top was too salty to my liking but the cucumber with it was really good idea.
Yes, Boka deserves to get all 5 stars.
After my meal there last night, I think it might be the best restaurant in all of Chicago (including its neighbor). The nice thing about this place is that its a fine dining establishment where you can just straight up order or get the tasting menu. We went for the tasting menu with the wine pairings. Most of us got the standard, but one did get the enhanced. Tuna Taco: Excellent fresh start. Most at my table thought this was the "worst" dish of the night. With all the courses, it got a little bit lost in the mix, but I think it was more of a palate cleanser. Tempura Mitake: This came out with the Tuna Taco, but most of us ate second. We were glad we did as this was a little heavier than the taco. It went excellent with the wine which was bubbly. I am not a big mushroom fan, but this was good! Bread and Butter: While technically not a course, I greatly enjoyed this. Very good bread and fresh butter! The others at the table were not as excited for this, but I loved it! Cured Hiramasa: This had a great citrus flavor and had crunchy bottom. It was also served with a Kabinett which is my favorite wine. Up til this point, the table agreed that this was the strongest dish. White Asparagus: We also really like this with its citrus sauce (sense a theme?). Again, not the biggest asparagus fan, but I liked this! Stracinati: This was my absolute favorite dish (it was everybody else's third favorite). It had a buttery and crunchy thing going on that I absolutely loved. The pasta was also cooked perfectly! Ocean Trout: This was everybody's favorite hands down (it was my third favorite). This trout was flaky and served in a bed of sauce. The wine that went with this was outstanding! Wagyu: Who doesn't like a piece of steak? This was everybody's second favorite dish. Steak was nearly melt in your mouth and the lettuce was grilled which gave it a neat charred flavor. Sorbet: We started to get super filled at this part. The sorbet was good, but nothing too exciting. We REALLY lied the brown butter crumbles on the bottom. I could have eaten a bowl of that granola looking thing! Buckwheat Porridge: We were unsure on this, but this was a VERY STRONG ending to our meal. There was so much sweet and fruit flavor in here. We ended with some chocolates and small cookies which were good, but I didn't really get much of a description. We all got a little tea cake to take home which sounded excellent. I will be eating it when I get home tonight as I didn't have any more room in my stomach! As for the service, it might be some of the greatest I have ever gotten in a restaurant. Augustus was outstanding and perfectly matched the excitement of our table. We had a few people new to fine dining and he fielded so many great questions. His wine speeches were top notch. As for the wine pairings, I would say that they were the biggest deal of the night. We got 7 samples of wines that went with dishes perfectly. The higher end pairings went well for the one person except the second to last wine (he ended up bringing out the standard one that we all had for her instead). While the wines she had were of the higher end, please know that the standard pairing aren't much lower in quality. Theres a big difference between a $10 bottle of wine and a $50. Its harder comparing a $50 to a $100 so don't feel bad about getting the "cheap" pairing. Shoutout to Max and Juan who were helping Augustus with making sure our table looked presentable and our waters were alway filled. Once again, outstanding service! Speaking of cheap. This place isn't cheap, but it never pretends to be! This is the fine dining that you see on "The Bear". In fact, I would say that this is a slightly better deal than most of the other fine dining restaurants in Chicago. The food is fancy, but approachable. Its upscale, but not stuffy. The food, wine, and service is all top notch so I will be coming back here again sometime in the future. This will be my "go to" super fancy place.
Went here to celebrate my birthday with a friend.
Did the 8 course tasting menu on Sunday, April 7. Service was incredible - water was ALWAYS full, and the food had a lot of variety. They do serve a vegetarian tasting menu, and it looked comparable to the normal one. Highlights included the strascinati (pasta with a cream sauce), the slow cooked Tasmanian ocean trout (tasted like a perfectly cooked salmon with a cream sauce), and the French white asparagus. The tasting menu was heavier on the cream side and the first few bites of the tasting menu had more gelatin that I was expecting. $175 is a little pricey, but Boka is a staple to go to. I'm glad we went, and it didn't feel pretentious or over the top. You can come in nice sneakers or heels - which is a plus for the environment :) The service was INCREDIBLE and we felt taken care of the entire meal. I'll definitely want to come back for a restaurant week one year!
Your food was so good.
The service was so good especially Max and Jack. Thank you for everything I come with my fiancé that was so nice. Thank you for your service. I will be back.
This was absolutely delightful.
Our server, Alexa, was excellent. She gave great recommendations and great drink and wine pairing suggestions. The service from everyone was impeccable. I had the bay scallops for my appetizer, the short ribs, and chocolate cremeux for dessert. Everything was delicious. I will be back.
So good!
We had 7:15 reservations for a Sunday in February. We partook in the tasting menu and ordered drinks from the drink menu. The tasting menu was one of the best I've ever had. The fish course, the pasta course, the venison course, the chef's use of mushrooms throughout... and then there was the foie gras course -- one of the best things I've had on a menu. Period. Overall, service was incredible, the ambiance was nice, and the food was top notch. I would definitely recommend the tasting menu if you're into fine food.
michelin-star worthy !! took my boyfriend to Boka for his
michelin-star worthy !! took my boyfriend to Boka for his birthday and got the eight-course tasting menu, which i would definitely recommend for special occasions! sometimes michelin restaurants try to do too much or be toooo quirky, but Boka stuck to the classics and made them excellent, which i loved tasting menu: - maine uni & tempura honeynut squash - lightly cured hiramasa - foie gras - tasmanian ocean trout - maitake agnolotti - châtel farms american wagyu - concord grape - lapsang souchong ice cream - drinks: espresso martinis
Came for a "quick" dinner before the Springsteen concert.
We told them we were on a tight schedule and they accommodated - no problem! The highlight was definitely the roast duck. OMG they bring this bird out before carving it - a gleaming and glistening work of gastronomic art! Bravo!
I get why they've got a Michelin star!!!.
The service was impeccable, with ALL the wait staff doing their part in VERY timely manner, while being unobtrusive and respectful The ambiance and overall setting was PERFECT, and the food was FANTASTIC! We ate here during restaurant week and that made it SO worth the money! I was with 2 other folks who were more than willing to share their plates around the table. THAT is heaven on earth for me! So, I'd LOVE to show pictures of every single dish, but Yelp puts a limit on the # of pictures. So, no picture of my Layover in Kyoto, even though it was a PERFECT cocktail! I'm including a picture of the menu, so you can see EVERYTHING we ate... It was ALL exceptionally good! Thank Chicago for their restaurant week, so it's more affordable to try places like this!!!
First time trying a Michelin star restaurant and the
First time trying a Michelin star restaurant and the experience was really good! The food was great for the restaurant week price of $59. The location is really pretty. Person who seated us seemed kind of spacey, but the staff that cleared the plates were very kind.
Went for restaurant week in Chicago to get a little bit of
Went for restaurant week in Chicago to get a little bit of a taste of the restaurant before deciding to go back for the full-experience. My experience was disappointing, not due to the food but due to the attention to details. Food was exceptional 5/5. The scallops were cooked perfectly and my favorite dish for the night. However, all the other dishes were excellent in their own way. Now comes why the review is only 2/5. - First, my starter beef tartar had a hair in it. Honestly this soured the rest of my experience as it went in my mouth and I was thinking about it for the rest of the dinner. - Second, one of our dishes came out wrong. We ordered the cod and they bought out a pork dish instead. So part of our group was eating while the other was not. Although they rectified the situation with bringing out replacement dishes in a timely manner and sent out a free dessert. I was not expecting these issues at this caliber of restaurant. The Ambiance of the restaurant was also pleasant. Which helped to alleviate some of the mistakes. In summary, food was delicious but the other moments have made me re-think about coming back for the full experience.
We had resos at BOKA for our anniversary and would like to
We had resos at BOKA for our anniversary and would like to begin with their service was impeccable. From the time we arrived, having best seat in the house, and spectacular staff paying attention to every little detail (dietary restrictions) guests are in for dining experience. The restaurant was perfectly lit along music in the background was perfect. We were able to have a conversation and without having to raise out voices. They offer a full menu and pre-fixe menu option. We opted for their pre-fixe meal option. If you're feeling adventurous, we highly recommend their pre-fixe meal option. We were taken on a journey as our server explained each plate as being served. Highly recommend this BOKA.
Came here for restaurant week.
Our reservation was at 4:30 and we were seated promptly once our party was complete. I ordered the Beef Tartare, Scallop, Icelandic Cod, and the Black Sesame Brownie. Coming into the reservation, I was very excited because Boka has a Michelin star. Perhaps because it was a restaurant week menu, overall I felt everything was just okay. The food felt standard, good, but did not blow me away. The courses came out rapidly one after the other making the meal feel rushed, though the waitstaff never rushed us in anyway. The overall service was good, but less attentive than I expected. For example, the waitstaff missed and spilled some water on the table when refilling my glass. For the rest of the meal, my plate and setting sat in splashes of water. The ambiance of the general dining room was lovely though. The noise levels were surprisingly low allowing for easy chatting with your party. The dishware and the candle holder were ambient. Overall, I think Boka was a solid experience and I'd love to experience it during non-restaurant week.
A perfect restaurant with good prices It is truly Michelin
A perfect restaurant with good prices It is truly Michelin standard The sauce on each dish is especially good
Good to discover and have a very pleasant dinner
The room is nice and well decorated. The guests have space and are not disturbed by the discussions of the other tables. The menu is very original and the butler knows very well how to present the dishes and give the desire. The kitchen is original, neat and to discover. Two downsides: the wines are overpriced and therefore too expensive (although apparently it is a trend in the United States but that why not to remember this point from time to time): a bottle of Chablis at 88 dollars for a wine much too young can not already be drunk (bitterness, stiffness and acidity). A Michelin-starred restaurant should therefore keep this type of bottle away from its menu as long as the wine is not to be put in a glass. The second downside comes from this new incomprehensible device: we propose to pay an additional 3% to not increase the prices of the menu... but if I apply this supplement, which we can refuse besides, it corresponds to an increase of 3%. The listed price is the price proposed by the restaurateur and there cannot be 2 prices for the same meal or the price with this option of 3% should appear directly on the menu. Why not add a % for the rental of the room, chairs, table proportional to the meal chosen? I believe that in this area everything should become clearer to the consumer: how much I pay for the service and it does not matter what is the composition of this price or why not show the purchase part of products, wages of cooks and waiters... but Boka is only applying here a rule that does not seem very healthy in fact. In summary, Boka is really worth the detour but plan to allocate a large budget for wine in order to hope to have fun accompanying delicious dishes.
If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then order it!
This place gets exactly the right balance between formal and relaxed. Warm welcome at the door from a friendly French gentleman and good service throughout. We had the duck and yes, it was absolutely delicious. Only regret was having an appetiser as well as the duck course was huge. We managed desserts though and they were excellent. Not cheap but it was so refreshing to have a Michelin star meal that was not an interminable tasting menu of tiny plates. highly recommend.
Good but expected more
Here is the thing - we have had Boka on our list of restaurants forever, so our expectations were high…it just didn’t live up to those expectations. There are 100’s of great restaurants in Chicago, so we expect a lot from the ones that are on all the best restaurant lists. While we loved the dining area, it had great ambiance…the food and service were just ok. I had seen the chicken entree on “Best Food I Ever Ate” on the food network - it was good not great. We were able to cross it off our list but will probably not be back.
Order the duck
Have the duck. The rest of the menu is also great - creative appetizers and cocktails - you can certainly find something that strikes your fancy but the duck is a great experience. The dining rooms are kind of funky but a nice setting for a romantic dinner. Service is attentive and helpfl.
Wonderful Dinner!
Propably the best dinner which I have eaten in this continent! Balanced menu with good wine pairings. An excellent service and good cocktails. Really recommended!
Delicious and memorable!
This was the best meal I had during my brief stay in Chicago. I’ve had the privilege at dining at a number of Michelin star restaurants over the years in North America and Europe, and this one is definitely up there. The eight course tasting menu was simply delicious; I was lucky that the duck was on the menu that night, it’s the best duck I’ve ever tasted! The cocktail and wine recommendations were spot-on as well. However, what really makes this restaurant shine is its outstanding service. The server I had was warm, friendly, and witty without being intrusive, and my water glass was always filled to the top thanks to another attentive gentleman tasked with that job. The restaurant even had a few surprise gifts with the meal and after the meal too. I will definitely return when I’m back in Chicago! It’s also one of the restaurants where you get great value for your money - $175pp tasting menu is a rarity these days.
Disappointing!
As regular visitors to Michelin star restaurants, this one failed to meet our expectations. While the appetizers and dessert were very good, our main course (the aged duck) was a disappointment. They showed us the whole duck, took it back presumably to cut it for us, and within minutes had it returned but it was not the same duck! The breast skin was not as crispy as the whole duck we were shown and the legs were cooked completely in a vegetable sauce. On top of that the duck was very chewy and undercooked and the turnips were salty.
A Great Dining Experience
I didn’t know anything about Boka beyond having read a few positive reviews before making reservations for an anniversary dinner there. It turned out to be one of the best restaurant experiences my wife and I have ever had. We splurged and ordered the eight course tasting menu with reserve wine pairings (we shared the one wine pairing so as not to completely blow the budget). Each course was superb, delicately prepared and served, and the wines paired perfectly. Our server (Jake) enhanced the experience with his explanations and sense of humor, as well as his occasionally generous wine pours. The quantities were perfect, so we were satisfied at the end of the meal but didn’t feel stuffed. And the tasting menu was flexible enough to permit changes to accommodate my wife’s food preferences/aversions. It wasn’t cheap, but the experience was worth every penny.
Awesome experience
Love the soft lighting and attentive staff created an inviting atmosphere that made me feel like a cherished guest from the outset.

The site doesn't have resources to properly execute a reservation transfer. Some places allow it however the best bet is to open a chat on the listing from the seller and communicate there

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
