Restaurants near Buddhist Temple of Chicago

I’ve been to Summer House a number of times and have always had very good experiences, however I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, so I wanted to leave a review saying how impressed I was. According to the menu, most items can be made gluten free. I went with another person who was gluten free and the dinner was outstanding. Our server was great (as usual) and was very knowledgeable. It was very busy but didn’t feel crowded. The miso salmon was delicious and the Brussels sprouts salad is a favorite of mine. So unique and tasty. Normally I don’t get dessert but decided to try the gluten free chocolate chip cookie because their cookies are so good. This one did not disappoint! Soft, satisfying and hit the spot! I was curious about the “mini” espresso martini and thought, why not? It was the perfect after dinner drink! Overall, another great experience at the Summer House. I’ll be back!

We had an amazing time at this pop up! Our server Alex U was amazing!!! We will definitely be back to see him! The food was amazing, we got the Santa sampler and it was the perfect amount for a little snack! The price was not too bad either, 6 drinks and a sampler for $80 was great. The only complaint we had was we got sat right by a big photo op and we were being asked to take pictures the whole time. We will definitely be back!

Amazing & delicious! Bean dip was so good, not sure how it’s done! Had chicken and pork tamales, super yum. Then we had skirt steak, Cornish hen, masa & cactus special, diablo shrimp - all were really great, amazing flavors. Gave ambiance 4 - nothing wrong, just a comfortable little place, but don’t expect fancy (I prefer not fancy). Service was excellent- attentive but not overwhelming. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent sushi served in a fun, eclectic atmosphere. Unique and delicious rolls. Top quality food, service, and fair prices. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The elegance of Swift and Sons but still a casual classy experience. Fairly priced menu based on overall quality and service, though the “meat-n-potatoes” entree prices compared to quantity seems higher than normal for Chicago steakhouses. For reuniting with friends on a Christmas weekend, overlooking a beautifully lit Wrigley Field for the season, it can’t be beat.
