The break-in happened between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. in the 400-block of N. Wells Street in the Near North neighborhood, police said.
Video captured by ABC7 shows the damage left to the front door of Soul Vibez.
The restaurant opened their doors just two days before the break-in, one of the owners said on social media.
Chicago police said a male suspect pried the door open, damaged cables and took money from cash registers.
The owner said the cost of repairing the damage will likely be more than what was taken.
Chicago police said nobody is in custody.
