About this business

Romanian food at Little Bucharest Bistro. What a delightful change from the regular available cuisines. The place is small, has a little kitchen where the awesome chef single-handedly dishes out some delicious food. The service is totally personal, with the owner himself making you feel comfortable at all times. The food is served in good portions and is well priced. Call for details on BYOB-available days.

Worst service ever! They weren't even busy. Need to hire more staff if you can't handle 5 tables.

The owner is really sweet, he really wants his diners to walk away happy. It helps that the food is wonderful. Get the borscht!

Definitely Try It! I expected this to already have TONS of reviews, as this restaurant has been around forever, and is SOOOO good!!! It is a mix of Romanian and other fares, and the food was STUPENDOUS, the service was great and friendly. It is a little jewel in the Old Irving Park of Chicago!

Circa-1970 Romanian restaurant, resurrected in Irving Park. – The dark, moody dining room on Ashland Avenue is a thing of the past, though veal paprikash proves timeless at this family-run, Eastern European eatery and lounge.
