I had an amazing spicy chicken katzu ramen. It was sweet flavor full and spicy. The service is always good. You pay and order at the entrance or scan the QR code at your seat. The rest room is easy to find.

I love the Korean Asian fusion. We had to try the curry pho which is really good. It tasted even better with rice since the soup is thicker and stronger taste it went well with rice too. We also ordered the spicy Korean rice cake soup which has flat Korean rice cakes and was spicy but I enjoyed it alot too. The Mango was a shock and somehow I didn't expect it but enjoyable non the less. It was very spicy but thank God we had the rice. Over all I enjoyed the meal. The restaurant gave a cafeteria vibe and it was very casual and great for group setting. I highly suggest trying them both.

Came here on a Sunday around noon and it was pretty empty. I got the coconut curry pho which actually tasted really good, however not super sure if it is anything close to pho more than the fact that it’s noodles in soup. My friend got some beer chicken dish and said it was alright. The food came out really quickly, would say it’s a pretty good spot to grab a quick bite.

Super great flavors in all the dishes here! Quick and easy to order, just sit down and scan the QR or order at the front. We loved the Korean Chicken, Udon noodles and chicken dumpling ramen.

Omg this is so good! Korean and Puerto Rican fusion. Special without being too sophisticated. I really wish I had a bigger tummy! Everything was delicious. This is my order if preference: chicken curry pho, edamame dumplings, chicken lemon grass dumplings, pork dumplings. This place used to be a place I loved when I lived in Chicago. Came back a decade later wanting to eat here but they moved (to a much better location) and I couldn’t remember the name. So glad I recognized the name on Google maps!

Wow, the spicy katsu ramen was incredible. Loved the hot chicken bao buns as well. My wife got the lemongrass udon noodles and loved her dish. Incredibly friendly and kind service. Easy to order from QR code on table and is brought to your table. 3 PBR on draft, can’t beat it! We will be back!
