    We came with another couple, and this was our first visit, and we all really loved it. The ambience was nice with background music playing that kept the atmosphere lively without being too loud.  it’s very comfortable place with an authentic feel of the ethnicities represented in the food. There is a wide range dishes of eastern European and Central Asian influences.  You can find both dishes that will be very filling and ones that are lighter. I had a lamb dish over aromatic rice that was excellent. My wife had one that was with beef, and another friend had a beef stroganoff dish. Mine came with a bowl of spicy hot sauce that mixed perfectly and made the dish very exciting. The dishes are so good that I could easily eat here often. It was a treat, and I wish we knew how to prepare food like this at home. My wife loved it, too, and we look forward to returning.  Do yourself a favor and try it.

    Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

    Overall a great experience with our family of 5 plus a guest and third visit. The pulled noodles are not common even in Chicago so go for the Boso Lagman w/ beef. Dumplings and all appetizers are terrific and worth sampling. The Manty dumplings as an entree also very good and shareable. The Plov, chicken or beef, is great and very filling. We generally don’t get desert but the homemade honey cake which surprisingly wasn’t overly sweet was also great for sharing.
