    I’m visiting Chicago and was craving Asian food so I stopped by. The service was excellent. From servers to hostesses everyone gave incredible recommendations. The drinks are nothing to ride home about. Definitely do not get the espresso martini. Awful. I should have known when they said they use cold brew. The food however, was the star! Rightfully so, everything was delicious, cooked to perfection and had great depth of flavor though a few of the dishes were a bit too salty. As a result I could not give all 5 stars but definitely a 4.9. I would love to come back next time I’m in Chicago!

    Everything was great. Food was delicious. Our octopus was a bit over charred and tasted burnt but everything else was great. The pesto pasta was top notch. The ambiance was great. Music was a little loud but I understand the vibe that you’re trying to achieve. Thank you. Great time.
