I went to Asparagus for my Valentine's Day date the Friday before the 14th to avoid a big crowd. They did have the place nicely decorated for the holiday! Their year-round decor is especially beautiful. Asparagus is a asian-french restaraunt and their nice collection of decor lives up to that. Great atmosphere, the candle lit dinner was great. The food ordered came out at lightning speed! I was shocked, I've never had food come out that fast before! Our server Andrew did a great job, give him a raise! Now, onto the food itself. Don't be deterred by the prices, the majority of the menu has HUGE serving sizes! I ate my bowl of Pho until I was full and still had enough leftover for another full bowl when I got home! The food is generally priced fairly considering the amount you get, well worth it! The vegetables added to the Pho were perfect and the broth was the best party, VERY flavorful! The only negative thing about Asparagus is surprisingly that meat is not their strong suit. In terms of meat I only tried their chicken and pork so maybe the other meats are better? The chicken in the Pho was very bland, unflavored, and unseasoned. I also tried their Sesame Chicken Stir Fry and the chicken wasn't the best however the vegetables were very yummy! The Pork Meatballs were just ok, nothing to die for. I'd suggest choosing something else. I really loved the Chicken Egg Rolls. I like that they cut them at an angle. The sauce provided really leveled them up. The desserts really stood out! You MUST try their Truffle Chocolate Eggrolls!!! I've never seen this done before and it was sooooooo yummy!!! Also cut in a slant. I should also mention that their plating skills are excellent! My fiancé got the Double Chocolate Cake. It's HUGE and has very rich delicious chocolate. Just a heads up though, it does contain nuts! For drinks I ordered a couple mocktails, the Baby Berry Mule and the Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri. I suggest ordering light ice for the Mule. At the end of the night we were gifted Jasmine Tea in honor of Chinese New Year, how nice! Overall I highly recommend this restaurant. The best way to spend time here would be by having a romantic dinner date or, even better, a lunch with friends! Due to their large serving sizes you could all order something and share a bit so you could try many things on the menu. The rating could easily be bumped up if they worked on their meats a bit! Don't let this deter you from going, they have plenty of delicious dishes without meat on their menu, too! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Stopped in to support as we saw on social media they had damage from the polar vortex. Sat at the bar, on a Saturday afternoon, had a few martinis, which were generous and delicious, and a handful of appetizers, each was more delicious than the last. The bartenders were very friendly, I highly recommend coming here for delicious drinks and food!! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I came here to celebrate my sister’s birthday. It’s about an hour drive from the Chicago area. Parking was spacious. It’s an upscale Asian restaurant so yes you’ll see some items are overpriced compared to the prices at regular Chinese restaurants. We ordered 3 appetizers - seafood rolls, duo cargot, young mountain lamb chops. We ordered 2 entrees - “to die for” pork shank and signature delight. Overall 3.5/5. One time is enough. Service was mid. -seafood rolls ⅗ - while it is very tasty and crispy, $14 doesn’t justify 4 small pieces. For the price you should be able to have 6-8 on the plate. -duo cargot 4/5 - I did enjoy the sauce, shrimp, and escargot on top of the bread. It was delicious. There should be another piece of bread on the plate. -young mountain lamb ⅖ - this is not worth $22. Pieces are too small and it could have been tender. You need to cook lamb medium rare, this was about medium. -“to die for” pork shank 5/5 - pork belly, pork shank, and egg are cooked beautifully. Taste was phenomenal. Meat was succulent especially when you get further into the pork shank. Taste great with rice. Portion was big -signature delight 5/5 - huge portion for $60. Lobster tail, sea scallops, and shrimp were all present in the dish. Vegetables were fresh and well seasoned.

We heard lots of hype on this restaurant and had great expectations. We were disappointed. The service was very good but the food was just average. The appetizers were good ( Vietnamese roll and meatballs). The main dish I had was very spicy but the menu didn’t state that. My martini was good, but I’ve had better. We thought for the money it was over rated.
