Overall a great experience with our family of 5 plus a guest and third visit. The pulled noodles are not common even in Chicago so go for the Boso Lagman w/ beef. Dumplings and all appetizers are terrific and worth sampling. The Manty dumplings as an entree also very good and shareable. The Plov, chicken or beef, is great and very filling. We generally don’t get desert but the homemade honey cake which surprisingly wasn’t overly sweet was also great for sharing.

Food was amazing, service was great, it was my dining here. The eggplant was amazing as a starter and the honey cake was the perfect end. Everything in between was super tasty. The staff was very sweet and accommodating.

This was a great ethnic restaurant. Excellent pierogi and borscht. Our waitress was the best: friendly, efficient and responsive to our requests. Great value for home cooking.

Jibek Jolu (Khygyz for "Silk Road") is an outstanding restaurant. Central Asian cuisine is rare in Chicago, making Jibek Jolu a unique local treasure. The food is delicious, well-prepared, and made with the freshest ingredients. It's tasty and comforting. The vibe is casual, the decor is a colorful nod to the artistry of Khygystan, and the service is friendly and attentive. Plus, it's a BYOB, which is always a big plus. Treat yourself to this gem of a north-side dining establishment.

This was my first introduction to Kyrzyg cuisine. I was not disappointed. I had kompot (beverage), Lepeshka (bread), and Plov Lamb (rice with lamb dish). The food and beverage was delicious. Service was great too.

First time trying these foods. I went with a friend who is familiar with this cuisine and I sampled a variety of the dishes. It was phenomenally delicious! What a wonderful experience that I had here! The wait person was extremely helpful and helped me to understand my choices and select. I had leftovers so that I will continue to enjoy the food! I will definitely be returning here.
