Can I say, OMG. I had the homemade sausage and sampler french toast. The french toast are so delicious you do not need syrup. This place can get very crowded. Best times are weekdays. A weekend wait can be up to 2 hours. But it is worth the wait. BYOB. So if you need a mimosa with your breakfast bring it.

From the initial welcome while walking in to the outstanding food, Goree Cuisine is a winner. Love the nem and fataya. And the yassa shrimp, at my server's recommendation, was a huge hit.

The restaurant's menu features its signature fried chicken, either soy garlic or spicy. As part of a lunch special, you can get eight wings, four drumsticks or eight chicken strips for $8.95 along with one side. It also serves a variety of other dishes like salmon avocado balls and Korean tacos.
The restaurant, at 2163 S. China Pl., though, has limited hours — it opens at noon Monday to Wednesday and at 3 p.m. the rest of the week. It closes at 8 p.m.

Online review not from me: This place is always packed for good reason. We put our name on the waitlist on the train from O'Hare after seeing that the wait time was almost an hour (even on a very cold, wet and dreary Sunday morning) and made it just in time to be seated.
The Intelligentsia coffee is great and pairs perfectly with the sweeter breakfast options. The Signature Berry Bliss French Toast was very delicious and the topping was just the right combination of sweet and tart. My only regret is not trying the pancakes.
