Time Out Chicago KidsMarch 21, 2012There’s something here for everyone, from your vegan brother-in-law to your gluten-free little one. Kids 10 and under build their stir-fries for free on Mondays; those 4 and under eat free every day. Read more
Linda AlexanderMay 1, 2014Fill your bowl. I did the fish, calamari, veggies & Indian coconut curry sauce. 3 spoonfuls is plenty. Put stick in for the Roti (Indian bread); delicious. Self-serve. Big eaters in this place.
Tiffany ThomasAugust 28, 2016Love the options for fillings/toppings. The wait staff is very attentive and offer suggestions for first timers. The music is upbeat, but you can still hold a conversation.
This is hands down the best place for groups that can't decide what to eat as you choose EVERYTHING you eat yourself. Great place for carnivores to try veggie meat: try the seiten with your dish.- Full service at the bar & counter tops to minimize wait times. call before to make reservations for larger groups! Remember the blue stick for bread & white stick for food allergies & vegetarians!
MsVioletMarch 13, 2013Amazing food! Outstanding service! You pick all the uncooked food you want, including your choice of sauces, and they stir-fry it for you. Especially get the roti bread. It's delicioso :)
BaturalpApril 7, 2017Great Mongolian barbecue for lunch! Don't forget to get the bread with your bowl. Skip scallops and add lots of your favorite sauce.
Jessica LakieDecember 4, 2014The food was great! It's been a very long since I've been here, and they did not do a very good job explaining how to create your bowl. I felt like a lost puppy
DKH CreativeApril 16, 2011For a nominal fee, they'll let you load up and take home a bowl's worth of leftovers. They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, but this makes for a pretty cheap (and delicious) one.
I sat overlooking the open kitchen and repeatedly watched staff touch raw meat then cooking utensils & refrigerator doors, all while a bucket of meat sat out for 30+ mins. Kinda of ruined it for me.
Alfie MartinJanuary 31, 2023is having a red bowl of Thai Red Curry and a Edamame appetizer..... traditional lightly soybeans in the pod. #flattopgrill #restaurant
Shivam ShahOctober 22, 2013I've been to Flat Top twice, and I super load my bowl all in one trip. Nothing bad to say about this place, and if you're a student, MAKE sure to show your STUDENT ID.
LadyAnn GeeNovember 23, 2017Noodles with salmon and mix your sauces to get the taste that’s right for you. Don’t forget to add season to Your Food
Paris LMarch 16, 2016Vegetarians and Carnivores alike will enjoy creating their own healthy, tasty meals at Flat Top. It's amazing!
Emily PrendergastSeptember 8, 2015Have your bowl made into tacos, the fried bread they use is AMAZING
Symone Rae' LewisAugust 15, 2014I love the build your own stir fry. There are so many choices! I will definitely try to come back soon!- Eva GuadarramaMarch 14, 2016I really like this place. The food is good, especially the bread. You can choose what you want and they cook it for you.
They took the unlimited option away! Only 1 bowl is included in the price now. A second trip is an additional $4! It's not expensive but is still a let down.
Josh Lue YenJuly 7, 2012Probably the best meal I've had in Chicago so far. Mix and match anything you want but don't forget to order the Pita bread. Will be back but this time for breakfast!
Randy DickinsonAugust 6, 2011Super vegan/vegetarian friendly. Be sure to use the white stick to add tofu to your stirfry and the dark red so they cook it seperately from the dead animals.
S OliveApril 22, 2014Try the chicken fajita!!! its delish!!! And dont forget to show your student id for discount of course :-)
Danielle ThigpenMay 11, 2013I love the fact that you design your own stir-fry or dish. And its a fast healthy alternative.- C CAugust 18, 2012Don't pay for the edamame on the menu, just grab a small bowl and have some edamame from the serving line and add your own sauce!
- Melissa GeorgesMarch 22, 2015They changed. You have to wait for your server to give you a bowl and the meat. Then you can create your own.
CaseyApril 29, 2012Good food, fun laid back atmoshphere. Be very careful when you choose sauces! Too many and the flavors become an indistinguishable slop!
Kiwi_birdApril 4, 2014Vegan friendly! Great place! Take "unlimited", eat one or two full bowls and take another one home.
Their wine is very reasonably priced and their BOGO meals are a great deal!
Trina MerrittJanuary 4, 2013I love this place. Everything I've tried has been delicious, especially the bread <3
Brannon HallSeptember 20, 2011If you're a chocoholic, end with the Triple Chocolate Storm. I would show you a picture of it, but I ate it. :o)
Make sure to fill your bowl so full you spill vegetables all over the floor, 'cause heaven forbid you pay the extra $1 to make multiple trips
Rishikesh KankalSeptember 24, 2012Try with Sausage with spicy sauce and rice. Don't forget the Parotha :)
Cassandra M.May 18, 2013New Margarita flavors, strawberry and white peach. Get them mixed into one and it's delicious!
Baloo RCMay 21, 2012Great food, it does not look that great before they cook it, but it does after, i´ll come back
Linda MarshOctober 8, 2012This is the most awsomees place where else can u get buffa full of vegs and not fell guilty for eating out.
Michele MillerApril 25, 2013Excellent! If you happen to be downtown from 10-3 ask for Dwight. He's an awesome server.
dereqJune 19, 2012Wash your hands after each trip to the meat counter, tongs are covered in animal flesh juices.
- Melissa FooMarch 9, 2012Try the Stirfry - Extra chili sauce. Edamame. Egg. Tofu. Fish. Rice noodles.
- Rubén PereaApril 12, 2013order the new Rockin' Red Lemonade: A rockin' blend of RED BULL RED EDITION strawberry and lemonade.
- Lunch in dinner is good, but I really love this place for breakfast. Build your own omelet.
Jazmine JenkinsNovember 27, 2011Terriyaki Sauce, Plum Sauce and Red Hot Chili Sauce my favorite three to mix together
- Always put in the stick to get the bread! It is amazing... if you don't like it, just don't eat it.
