I never had the pleasure of seeing this chef duo at the original parachute, but I came running the first few weeks they opened Parachute HiFi. The burger is as good as you can imagine, the melted fondue sauce on the plate is an amazing complement to the burger without making it “heavy”. The pad Thai was probably the best I’ve ever had, not traditional but oh my goodness, I am still dreaming about those noodles. Small space, get there early if you don’t want to wait a long time. We were sat at the bar and the staff were great, attentive and friendly without being invasive.

The burger is ridiculously good. By far the best burger I've had in years. Next time, I'll have to try it with bacon.
All the dishes I had were packed with flavor. I tried the burger, the lettuce salad, the pad thai, and the yuzu italian ice.
Service was great.
Can't wait to return!

It’s hard to live up to how much love the original Parachute had in the Chicago food scene, so it was smart for the new Hi Fi concept to pivot toward a more casual vibe and reduce direct comparison to its predecessor

Unfortunately however, the one point of direct comparison that remains is the area of greatest disappointment - the triumphant return of the much acclaimed bing bread is underwhelming, delivering little flavor and an overly stodgy texture. Not worth coming on a Wed just to catch this weekly special

The tteokbokki pad thai feels like a bit of a misnomer, but a tasty one. The sweet, sour, nutty flavor profile has some of the same notes (and garnish) as a traditional pad thai without even if it doesn’t hit it dead-on, and the tteok’s texture is perfect - crisp exterior with a beautiful chew. Don’t get the shrimp add-on, as $8 for 4 overcooked shrimp dampens the overall joy of the dish

It’s a bit expensive for the portion size and level of execution, but the service, vibes, and music selection are immaculate. Don’t be daunted by the lack of reservations either, especially if you’re coming on a weekday evening

Get the Parachute burger!!! It is drenched in delicious and flavorful sauce. Everything from the bread to everything in between was a dream. I will be dreaming about this burger for a while! We also tried their fries with banana ketchup and that was a fun-interesting taste. Will come back when I’m in town again.
