    This is a small, family run restaurant, with amazing food and service! I wanted to try the whole menu, but settled on a few dishes, all of which were phenomenal! I will be dining here again.

    Mrs. Park always makes wonderful food! Bibimbop was perfect, pork and seafood soup was great as always. Don’t get me started about the potato salad!

    We've been dining at this Arlington Heights gem for over 11 years now and enjoy our experience every single visit. We moved to Texas almost 9 years ago and haven't found anything close to the quality and value that we get at Ttowa. Always make it a point to dine here every single time we visit the family. Owner is very welcoming and always gives great recommendations!

    Excellent food, good service. Ambience is nothing special but you don't really go there for that. Definitely recommended.
