I follow Slurping Turtle on the Gram and have been eating with my eyes for long enough. It is sunday evening and easily found parking right in front across the street, this might not be the norm.
They decided to keep a lot of the original concrete walls bare which gives a half way built vibe but oh well, nice booths as well as long dining tables for larger parties. The Food is Awesome. We started with Takoyaki (octopus fritter) which are especially nice with a Creamy texture and Smokey flavor. Bao Buns are ok, the pork belly is exactly what i think of when craving bao, the tempura shrimp reminded me of fish and chips… meh, and i wish i didnt order the roasted chicken bao.. Pass on that, its dry and underwhelming. The ramen which is the reason we came was delicious. The menu is Definitely quality and we left Full and satisfied. Few more items I want to return for but the Duck Fat Fried Chicken we couldnt pass on neither should you. Enjoy.
I came here on a friend's recommendation. This restaurant has almost everything I'd want in a Japanese restaurant. It has a nice vibe, pretty great ramen, and sushi. I got a sashimi platter and the tan-tan ramen. The platter was well portioned, and presented very neatly. The ramen was spicy, which I love, but not so spicy that others could not enjoy it. My dad thought it was a bit too salty, but that is also how I like my food. If I were ever in Chicago again, I would definitely come here.
Ordered Spicy Miso Ramen. It wasn't so spicy but I added the powder provided with it and it was awesome! The staff were polite. The service was really quick and good ambience. Best spots for quick and amazing workday lunches.
