Here visiting from Texas and loved this place. The atmosphere was very cosmopolitan. Started off with the Korean BBQ fries. Honestly, they were just ok. I am sure if we would have added the short rib to them they would have been top notch. . The short rib pot stickers iwere delicious. The dragon glass drink was different. I enjoyed it. I will say I asked for them to make an off menu drink and they delivered! My Humble Pig ramen dish was freaking amazing!!!! I asked for a fried egg to be added. And ohhhh my......I was in Asian fusion heaven! read more

We love this place. Food is excellent and I like their IPA's a lot. Always a good experience.

Stopped in for a quick bite with the MIL and husband. Cute place. Husband thoroughly enjoys his beer flights. We ordered a bit of everything and just shared. It was a gloomy afternoon so we just sat inside and chatted. The wings were good! The beer menu had lots to choose from. Nice place to hang out with friends and enjoy the company and have some drinks. read more

It's a good place for Asian-Fusion. To me, the flavors are good but not authentic. But, the vibes here are immaculate. Fun drink selections at a decent price too!Nice, bright space and friendly service! read more

All food and drinks ordered were so good... Yakisoba noodles w/ chicken and extra veggies, gyro steam buns (August 2022 special of the month), and Thrift Store Matador (seasonal cocktail feature) read more

I'm traveling through town on business and was attracted by the wide local beer selection. And you can never go wrong with Asian food, right? Well the dishes that both I and my colleague ordered were delicious -- the drunken noodles and the Backwards Marathon were both delicious and just the right portion size. I also like that you can buy beers in 5 oz size, so I could try a few different flavors. If I wasn't leaving Valpo tomorrow, I would definitely come back, because there a bunch more menu items I'd like to try. read more

Atmosphere is excellent, loved the food and good beer. Didn't like the unisex bathroom. Never fun to have to wipe things down before sitting. Would prefer places that have one for each and then a separate unisex. As I am a woman and I identify as a woman it would be nice if that could still be recognized. read more

We just moved here from Austin a few months ago and this was the first "real" restaurant my husband and I have eaten at since being here. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting much because I'm still wearing a big Texas head on my shoulders. Suffice it to say, I was completely blown away by this place! My husband got the fruity people mixed gin drink they had on special and I had their No.1 beer from the board. Both, so good.The friiiiieees, OH. MY. LORD. Get it with the short rib meat, you will not regret it. My husband got two rolls, I can't remember which ones but he said they were awesome. I chose the lomein with chicken. Writing this review now has me wanting to grab some again for lunch today. I barely spoke more than 2 words while eating my food. The waitress came over several times during my meal while I was shoveling my face to make sure everything was okay - and all I could do both times is nod and give a thumbs up with noodles hanging from my mouth. I ended up getting another order of the lomein to-go and ate it for breakfast the next morning. Thanks for a great 40th, Blockheads! read more

This restaurant is perfect for lunch or dinner! Great outside seating on the patio! Asian fusion is one of my favorites and they killed it!! The beer is craft locally by blockhead and is a perfect fit with the food! read more

I enjoyed this place the couple of times I've been there. I think the best experience was sitting outside with my dog. Drinks are good. Beer is coming along, felt like in the beginning they didn't have much of their own beer, but supplemented with a good selection of craft brews. The food was good, interesting specials. Nothing that really jumped out at me though. Good for going out for a drink with friends. read more

Millennials will love this place... food is ok .. much like their other venture ricochet. Beer is not all that good. Sushi is average... lots of beards in the joint. read more

This place was 10/10 straight across the board. My sister and boyfriend and I went around noon and it was fairly empty and not noisy. We sat at the bar and got great drink recommendations from the bartender. We had the Tokyo Morning, Demonslayer, Just Mai Type, Las Vegas Wedding and Prince Zuko. All were unique and delicious but I'd definitely try Las Vegas Wedding because it's the cocktail of the month. We also sample some of the beer and it was also delicious. For apps we had the Philly Steak Egg Rolls and Korean BBQ fries both were flavorful and amazing. For sushi we had the Garden Roll, Krusty Crab, Dragon Roll, Should Have Been A Cowboy and roll of the month The Stampede. All the sushi rolls were good but in my opinion the star of the show were the High On Fire Steamed Buns and the Drunken Noodles. The bartender was really helpful and attentive, the food came out quickly and fresh and the atmosphere was perfect. I definitely will be back to try their brunch menu and drinks. Everything was good and all the flavors were different and unique. read more

We have been here four times in 7 weeks and loved the food and beer selection. We have different food each time and the customer service was perfect. So excited this brewery/ restaurant is in Valparaiso! read more

The food is ok. I wouldn't call any one thing outstanding but definitely has awesome drinks that come quickly and are good. Prices are fair to high I would say. The staff are friendly and do pay fairly good attention to customers. This is not a place you go to have a conversation as it is often very loud and you find yourself yelling at your table. Any time other than the summer if you are near the doors it is a bit drafty.They do not take reservations and you can join the waitlist online but they don't necessarily follow it very closely. My friends and I planned a night during the christmas event and waited over an hour (they did not hold patrons to the time limits) and by the time we got our table it was almost time to close and they were putting up tables and pushing us out quickly yelling a "last call" on our drinks even though we spent a large sum of money. read more

SO DELICIOUS! I got the "dude incredible" and it's a spicy noodle soup with an egg and seaweed!

We've enjoyed visiting when we could sit outside. The inside experience is horrible. Noise level pegs constantly in the "harmful" range (89-94 dB!!!). Showed the server, she thought it was a joke. Too loud to have a conversation or to enjoy a meal. Maybe they crank the noise up to encourage customers to eat quickly and get out. That worked for us. We could not get out fast enough. Will not return until the outdoor opens next year. read more

Took the family here for the first time and WOW!!! First off, service was fantastic We ordered the Korean fries (added brisket) and the spicy chicken buns as an appetizer We could not stop raving about how delicious the fries were! Husband ordered sushi while the rest of us ordered different noodle bowls The drunken noodles were great (I added veggies) and everyone loved theirs as well Interesting cocktails and the ones we ordered did not disappoint Will definitely be back Good place to dine in or outside read more

Ate here for an early Sunday dinner and everything was great! First- the service here is top. We ended up sitting at the bar and the bartender was really attentive, along with offering great suggestions. Second- the food here was great. It came out quickly, despite being a full house, and every bit was delicious. We tried some of the short rib pot stickers and they were delicious and quite filling! My husband tried the sushi and said it was great and I tried the bacon and eggs rice. Really fun fusion meals that are done really well. We are already planning to return soon to try more of the menu. read more

Rating is really 4.5. Interesting experience! We knew nothing about this place, just that it was new and worth a try. Surprised by the sushi and noodle menu, but really enjoyed our food. 2 noodle dishes and pork belly bun. Beer was excellent. Service was right on track. Try it out for a different beer house experience! read more

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, amazing value, good drinks. One of the most unique and creative menus in Northwest Indiana and one of the best executed restaurant experiences in the area. My only criticism is that it's so popular that it's often hard to get a table on the weekends, even during non-peak times. read more

Great GM, he was attentive to the guests and helped out the staff. Good variety of beers and drinks, enjoyed the food. I would adopt a tapas style menu so you can try a little bit of everything. Thumbs up! read more

We were impressed by the portion size and price of the entrees. It was definitely worth the money and tasted fabulous! One of the closest restaurants to the courthouse and downtown park. read more

Wonderful meal!! 15 beers on draught...soon to be brewed on site. Pot stickers and Korean steam buns were excellent for appetizers (and desert). Tasty sushi and Ramen dish was outstanding. Best part of the whole experience was Michael, our server. Thank you Michael! read more

Sadly disappointed that walking in at 9pm on their opening weekend they weren't seating anyone else. With having a very selective beer list on tap and wanting to try some of their beers from around the area, we were informed that they were not seating anyone else despite having an hour left in there facility despite having far less than the minimum seating requirements (even considering covid reductions). I hope that this is not the trend of what is expected for this restaurant.... read more

Brought the family here for an outdoor dinner. They have a super cute outdoor area that even on hot days feels shaded. Food was delicious- kids loved their noodles. Waitress was attentive, friendly and engaging with our young kids. Drinks were on point! Overall it was great. However, my eight year old pointed out that they're missing a dessert menu. No dessert is not a deal breaker for us adults but would have been nice for the kids, waitress said they might have ice cream soon. read more

This place is great. The food is good and the drinks are on point. The staff is very nice and the outside seating is nice and laid back. Mike S. is a lame. read more

An update to the review I posted when the restaurant first open, changing from a 4 to a 5. I've returned so many times and I will continue to come back. Service and food have never disappointed. My go to place now! read more

Ate inside and the decor is super cool. Extensive and interesting beer list. Lots of ones I've never even heard of. We got the drunken noodles. I did it with tofu which was delicious and crispy. My boyfriend did his with some meat and loved it as well. read more

Love the steam buns and sushi! What a great new addition to downtown Valpo! Husband and I went here on a date night after a recommendation from a family member. We were not disappointed and we can't wait to go back! read more

This place has incredible Asian cuisine and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys this style of food. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and organized and cozy. Overall this is a ten out of ten restaurant in my opinion read more
