A Chicago staple for great new style Asian food. Always an energetic vibe with high quality, diverse options. If you’re looking for a unique and flavorful dessert that you can’t find anywhere else try the Turon.

Loved this place!! Food is all amazing. We got the burger (to die for), the short rib, and the crispy spicy cauliflower. The ambiance is great for groups or a date. I went with one of my girlfriends and it was lively but not so loud I couldn’t hear her. Service was excellent too. All well done, we will definitely be back.

Such a wonderful dinner. We ordered so much food and tried something from every part of the menu. Our waiter was involved in making sure we had the appropriate amount of food with each round of ordering. We had three bites left at the end of the meal indicating we ordered just right!
