Tweet is one of the best asian restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Uptown.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Tweet has been holding down its corner of Uptown long before anyone started writing trend pieces about the neighborhood, and it operates with the quiet confidence of a place that doesn't need your validation. This is a breakfast-and-brunch room that functions like a genuine institution — the kind where regulars get dishes named after them and those dishes actually stay on the menu. Tony Fitzpatrick's Skirt Steak and 2 Eggs isn't a branding exercise; it's evidence that this place has real relationships, and those relationships keep renewing themselves. The Asian-inflected angle Tweet brings to an otherwise classic American brunch format is reportedly understated rather than performative, which tracks for Uptown. This is not River North. Tweet appears to know the difference, and good for it. The Colossal Lox Platter is the dish most associated with Tweet's reputation for overdelivering at a price point that should not support that kind of generosity — diners consistently flag it as the benchmark order. The Crabcakes Hollandaise is known for bringing actual technique to a preparation that most brunch kitchens treat as an afterthought, with the hollandaise reportedly rich enough to feel intentional without overwhelming the plate. The ¡Chilaquiles! — note the punctuation, which is doing real enthusiasm — earns its place on a menu that could have played it considerably safer. The Corned Beef Hash & Eggs rounds out a lineup that leans on execution over novelty, which is exactly the right instinct at this price level. Practical reality: the room is small and the weekend crowd is documented and loyal, so a weekday visit is the move if your schedule allows. On a first trip, the Lox Platter or the Chilaquiles are the consensus starting points. Return visit, go straight for the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs.
