    We love Hai Sous Kitchen. We hadn't been back in a bit and we were not disappointed. The food is all fresh and full of interesting flavors. The fried fluke was a thing of beauty, including visually; and so the papaya salad and octopus salad. Attentive service, additionally we were the last to finish and with the by now empty restaurant they didn't pressure us at all to hurry up. A true gem, and moderately priced in the landscape of very good Chicago restaurants.

    Loved the flavors but I would have liked things spicier, so it would be nice if there was some kind of table side chili oil or spicy sauce to add. All the dishes were universally huge and serving, but many of them lacked bulk - the crab fried rice didn't have much crab in it, and the vegetable curry was mostly a massive bowl of sauce with a handful of vegetables. The sizing is very inconsistent - some of the sharing plates would be very hard to share, and some of them are more entrée sized. The service was impeccable, the ambiance was lovely, it was very noisy but that didn't detract from our experience. Overall, I would return but think a little more critically about what I ordered.

    We did the tasting menu and added the wings and papaya salad. Loved all the food and would get everything again except perhaps the dumplings— not bad just not amazing like the rest. Had 3 nonalcoholic spritzers—- all were very good. I definitely would go back and told others to give it a try.

    Another phenomenal experience—no surprise there! You always knock it out of the park. Our group had a wild mix of dietary restrictions, and the staff made sure everyone could enjoy most dishes without any hassle or judgment. The food, drinks, and service? Absolutely top-notch. Huge thanks for making our friend’s milestone birthday so incredibly special!

    We decided to indulge in the tasting menu and it was absolutely phenomenal! Our waiter was very attentive and provided us a wonderful experience. Overall food was tasty, the only caveat was the under-seasoned chicken. Everything else on the tasting menu was spectacular!
