    A great spot to spend time with a friend or host visitors from out of town. They provide tasty dishes and exceptional service. Additionally, the open mic event that takes place every Thursday is quite impressive. I will definitely be sure to visit again in the future.

    Just moved to Chicago, my friends were telling us about this joint. Everything we had was really good. My favorite was the spam musubi and kalbi. The egg rolls were huge and flavorful. My wife had the honey shrimp and noodles. We had lots of leftovers and ordered veggie parang curry to go. Can't wait to come back next week with some family to celebrate the Holidays

    We had their Thanksgiving Buffet. Very reasonably priced. The buffet offered all of your traditional Thanksgiving foods(Turkey, Stuffing, Potatoes and Gravy) along with a very tasty salmon and very well prepared New York Strip. The service was excellant and we would return to try their regular menu
