The Bento Box
41.915458 -87.858331 2246 W Armitage Ave (between Oakley Ave and Leavitt St) Bucktown, Chicago
Subway: Blue to Western (O'Hare)(773) 278-3932 artisancateringchicago.com/box
Dinner (closed Sun)
Average main course: $15
With just a dozen seats and five main courses, this shoebox of a restaurant seems to traffic in smallness. But slurp rice noodles in a Thai chili-scented broth, or take a bite of the complex curries or juicy bulgogi in one of the namesake bento boxes, and you’ll be hit by big Asian flavors, fresh ingredients (such as Jidori chicken) and the sense that the chef—Rick Spiros—is cooking with some real gusto. Tip: The menu changes daily, and when Spiros says barbecue-pork steamed buns, you better run.
