I would try to come on a not busy day. We came on Valentine's day and it was a huge miss.

The food was delicious. Everything we ordered is super delicious, the flavors are well balanced. Fried chicken and rice noodles are my favorite dishes, it’s a must try! However, the lighting and ambiance is nonexistent. The whole room was fully lit, we could see everyone and hear everything, it was a quite opposite experience than I expected for a romantic Valentine’s dinner. Dress code is business casual, but with the well-lit room and cuisines like fried rice and fried chicken wings I don’t really see the point. Our server was very busy serving other guests, and not us. Our server came by our table voluntarily ONCE the whole night to check on us, even when I tried to order food at first I had to tell someone to get her because she wasn’t coming. When we wanted to order desert I couldn’t even get her attention, and the server who cleaned the table ended up helping us with our order. I think she might have finally realized that she forgot us in the end and gave us the dessert free, but it was a little bit annoying - especially during Valentine’s Day.

What a delight! Our party of 4 came to HaiSous on a snowy evening while we were in town for work and wanting to explore Chicago beyond the downtown core. We got a wonderful meal in an interesting location. We ordered the set menu—two of the vegetarian option and two of the regular—and that was absolutely the way to go, as it got us tastes of nearly everything on the menu and saved us from having to choose. The dishes were incredibly creative and truly delicious. Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, it'd be a showdown between the eggplant and the veggie curry.
