Chef Luciano Kitchen & Chicken

This is a small, independent eatery in an expensive city within walking distance of a major conference center. It's not cheap, but I wouldn't expect it to be. The chicken gumbo was warming and tasty. The Cajun pasta was hearty and flavorful. The garlic bread was the perfect accompaniment. Staff was friendly and order was ready as promised. If you find yourself at McCormick Place for a conference and want to escape conference and hotel fare, this is a great option.

The Mustard Seed kitchen does not disappoint! My meal (chicken tendies and fries) was delicious! Nice juicy chicken, great ranch dressing (no honey mustard though…) and the fries were flavorful! I was also excited to see Southern Sweet Tea! It’s not often you see that in the north so I took a chance and it made my day! Brewed nice and strong and the sweetness was spot on! Would definitely eat here again! It’s more of a quick service option with limited seating available. I put in my order online, but the others in my party ordered at the register. Online ordering was super easy and I did it while standing in line with others in my party. Even though my order was placed before them, I received my food 10 minutes after they did.

I order Mustard Seed Kitchen through UberEats with some regularity. Today, I had the salmon with creamed corn and asparagus. I wasn’t extremely satisfied with the packaging ( I don’t like my food to touch. The creamed corn absorbed the asparagus), but it was very delicious. I love this place. Everything I’ve had is super delicious. I’m surprised the reviews aren’t higher. 4.8 out of 5 on Uber Eats.

Omg, Mustard Seed Kitchen is always Great! But, O M G this meal was Absolutely Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!!!! I had the Chimichurri Skirt Steak & it was perfectly seasoned & tender & the Roasted Potatoes were super tasty & last but definitely not least the Chicken Gumbo Oh my God so Delicious!!! 😋 I swear to you this meal made me Exhale. So Amazing. The only hang up I had was the size of the steak. It could have been a bit bigger but, other than that it was absolutely delicious 😋Omg, Mustard Seed Kitchen is always Great! But, O M G this meal was Absolutely Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾! I had the Chimichurri Skirt Steak & it was perfectly seasoned & tender & the Roasted Potatoes were super tasty & the Gumbo Oh my God so Delicious! 😋 😍 😊!!!! I am updating my review. They must've taken my suggestion if the steak being bigger cause this order it was bigger. Thanks if you took my suggestion into consideration.

I ordered a cajun fettuccine and ate it like I hadn't eaten in days. And afterwards, I texted my partner to tell her it was one of the best pastas I've had. Mustard Seed Kitchen is Chef Erick Williams second restaurant. If you've been to his first, Virtue, you know what to expect. The food is excellent. It's dinner table plates prepared by grandma, only grandma happens to have a James Beard award. The food at Virtue, and now at Mustard Seed, is comfort food. It has comfort baked in but has a zest of newness; just enough for you to taste the edge of your comfort zone. Unlike Virtue, Mustard Seed is designed for takeout. It's the perfect place to order for delivery while still looking to eat right. I ordered from Doordash. Nearly 20 minutes door-to-door and the food arrived hot. When you order online, you can choose the sauce you'd like. In the description for this dish, it says its made with the creamy tomato and so I didn't venture to change it. I added on zucchini because I like zucchini and needed some extra vegetables. The cajun spices truly transform this dish, it makes the pasta. I tend to like spicy food and expected it to be spicier, but it had just the right amount of kick. I think even if you can't handle much spice, you'll enjoy this pasta. The shrimp was blackened just right; it was so good that I'm tempted to add on extra shrimp next time I order. The serving size is probably just enough for two. I set some aside had and had a healthy portion later. But if I was ordering for two, I'd probably add on an extra side to be safe - this place looks to have some amazing sides. If you knew nothing about this place - no clue who invented the recipes, what the business stood for - you might look at the price while scrolling through the menu and be sticker shocked. $20 for a takeout pasta on Doordash is laughable in Chicago. And this place doesn't even have the excuse that they're charging for takeout what they charge for a dine-in experience, it's a takeout kitchen! However, I encourage you to give it a try if you can. The $5 you'll save ordering a cheaper alternative elsewhere won't come close to what you'll have missed out.

It was delicious! So far I have tried their Caesar salad with grill chicken which was really good, I be needing another dressing tho lol. I have also tried the chicken gumbo it’s also really good. Now, behold the glazed pork with rice and spinach. I have to say the pork chop arrived hot and seasoned well. Not a lot of sodium (salt)added to it. The rice was good. However, the Beyoncé of this dinner was the Creamed Spinach. Whomever made that cream spinach needs a raise! Asap
