Supremely Asian American. Eastern cooking technique. Taking inspiration from the night markets of Asia and his Korean-American childhood, Chef Edward Kim pairs eastern cooking techniques with Chicago ingredients to create umami-laden flavors, juxtaposing tastes and textures for a wildly exciting menu. A festive and lively dining scene is anchored by a well-lauded bar program and an open pantry, inviting our guests further into the kitchen experience. Like a nightly Asian Thanksgiving, expect Feast-Style dining, rolling up your sleeves, passing plates with your neighbors, getting sauce on your face - if you’re having a good time you’re doing it right.

Eden’s ever-evolving brunch, lunch, dinner and beverage menus focus on the use of high-quality and seasonal ingredients, with an approach based on simplifying the process that goes into crafting each dish. This focus produces robust, clean flavors to compliment the flowers and herbs from our on-site greenhouse that also add beauty to each dish. Our 20’ x 28’ greenhouse allows us to grow all year, reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing on-site, and it helps the local ecosystem by attracting pollinators. Our sustainability efforts also include composting organic material left over during food preparation. Free Parking is available and easily accessible in the private lot across the street from the restaurant.

    Our second visit within 2 months. The food & beverage was exemplary. What brought it all home was the team. From our first moment at the host stand, until we left, it was a stellar visit. Richard, our server was gracious, fun & super knowledgeable about the menu. The busser(I did not catch his name) was always ready to keep our service sharp & our table clean. Richard’s professionalism & experience(& ample charm) really enhanced our visit. We felt truly welcomed & appreciated. The table visit by Rick at the end was also above & beyond. We didn’t get to say hey to David Axelrod, but we were in the same room. ;-) We are looking forward to our next visit. Kudos to all. A great evening with great food. Thank you, Cody & Marci.

    It was Valentines Day and they ran a tight ship!! We were sat right by the kitchen door upstairs and it did continuously slam against the wall inches from my date and had her on edge the whole night. Other than that, service, food and ambiance were perfect for a romantic date!!
