Tucked among an intersection of amazing restaurants, we finally got to check out Char!…read more While looking at some of the Artprize pieces, since Char was a venue this year, my fiancé ordered the steak fried rice and I ordered a fried noodle bowl with rice noodles and chicken. There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

Got their food for a work meal. Everyone enjoyed the food. Service was fabulous. Talked to them…read moretwice before the order and both times extremely helpful. The restaurant it self was clean and what you would expect for the style of restaurant. I would say that the order process online is a tad confusing but people I talked to were helpful and mad everything as desired with the help. The appetizers like the egg rolls and crab Rangoon seemed a tad expensive for what we got but did taste good.

The food at Sakura is absolutely delicious and unique! We tried the Salmon Bento Box and the Beef…read moreBento Box, along with some Gyoza, and everything was a total win. The shrimp-filled Gyoza was heavenly, the salmon bento was generous , flavorful, and so satisfying that we even took some home!! The beef was perfectly cooked and honestly, every bite made me smile. The service from the waitstress was top-notch friendly, attentive, and really made our experience enjoyable. The restaurant was crowded but the music in the background made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. A few things could be improved: the reception could be friendlier (a smile goes a long way!), sometimes when someone greets you with a frown, it makes it hard to get excited for the restaurantexperience. and we were seated right next to the kitchen, which got a little noisy. I think it would make the experience even better if tables weren't so close to the kitchen. All in all, Sakura is a nice place! Delicious food, great service, and a fun vibe. I'll definitely be coming back, hopefully with a better table next time!

I got the Alaska roll and tuna roll and both were delicious!! Skip the edamame and rangoons :/ very mid. But do get the kani salad !!! I'm also just a stickler for this but if you want a good date spot, this isn't really it... too many TVs.

As my base I got Japchae Noodles with Garlic Oil and Chips. As my protein I got Teriyaki Steak and Chicken done Hawaiian style. For the toppings I chose Mac salad, corn, and sliced onions. Lastly the sauce on top I chose yum yum sauce and teriyaki sauce. This may be an odd combination, but it works. These unique combinations were delicious. I devoured it. The steak and chicken were both high quality and worth it for them alone. I also got an order of a new item for Korean Fried Chicken ($10). The chicken was tiny. However it was fried to perfection and tasted delicious. The garlic soy was a dollar extra, but it definitely paired perfectly with the chicken. I got a can of Root Beer for almost $3. A little pricey, but the only real negative. The service was good with a caveat. I could not hear the lady taking my order, because she talked so quietly. Overall still a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely, a unique food experience done in a top notch way.

Pros: amazing food and service Cons: none…read more I had been wanting to try for awhile after hearing excellent reviews -today was the day! We got a large bulgogi bowl, mini egg rolls, and sushi. It was all AMAZING! Freshly prepared, good ingredients, good flavors. My hubs usually doesn't like sauces, but loved the sauce served with the egg rolls. The bulgogi bowl was amazing -a lot of food. The sushi was prepared fresh and also delish. The restaurant environment was pleasant and clean. Finally, the worker behind the register was so lovely -he was all smiles and friendliness as he rang us up and prepared our bowl. We will definitely be back!

Great quick Friday night dinner…read more We started with Miso Soup, my daughter loved and asked for seconds. The yellowtail crudo was fresh and its broth was to die for! I had Blue Mango roll, my all time favorite roll anywhere. Always consistent from the various Maru's I've visited. Paired everything with a crisp glass of Prosecco. Modern design, nice music, service was quick and efficient! We were in and out in under an hour. Will be back when we're in the area again.

I am absolutely not a sushi expert. I either like it or I like it a lot. Jaku Sushi falls in the…read morecategory of I LOVE IT! We've been to Jaku North and were curious to see if this location was as good. Except for a smaller size restaurant, the two were identical in quality and enjoyment. We started our meal off with Gyoza. Dumplings were perfectly prepared and not over cooked. What I think may be unusual about this item is that it contains both pork and chicken. Great flavors! We then ordered spicy tuna rolls and Tiger rolls from the House Roll menu. Simply put, these rolls were probably the best we've had since our last Japan visit. I usually use a lot of wasabi because I just love wasabi. After one roll I greatly reduced my wasabi use to allow the wonderful flavors to come through more clearly. Jaku's menu reminds me of a "Wall of Bourbon" you see in many bars. You want to try everything!!

I really wanted to fall in love with this place. The dining area? Spot-on--clean, modern, and…read moreinviting. Service? Friendly and on point. Menu? Looked like a dream. But the food... that's where it lost me. The Mango Tango roll was a stunner to look at, but once I dug in, it was drowning in sauce. I like my sushi fresh and bright--not hidden under a saucy slip 'n slide. Not bad but not showcasing what I was there for. The orange ceviche also showed up looking gorgeous, but one bite and I felt like I'd just chugged seawater. The saltiness was off the charts. My blood pressure is still elevated. Not a disaster, not a dream--just a solid "meh." Three stars. Could be amazing on the right night, but my night wasn't it.

San Chez was my favorite restaurant in GR for years, so when by sheer happenstance I walked into…read morethis location and discovered that it's by Sna Chez, my estimations went from curiosity to high expectations. Let me say there was absolutely nothing disappointing about this experience. For some idiotic reason I forgot to write down the name of my dish, probably cause I was shoving it into my mouth super fast but the one thing I can tell you was that it was amazing. The sheer mix of flavors was nothing short of a wild disco on my taste buds. It was so amazingly delicious, the service was impeccable and the setting so stunningly beautiful and I can't wait to come back again.

While warned it was spicy, I did not find it spicy. Yes, it had a touch of heat especially compared to Midwestern American diet, but it got neither my nose nor eyes running and only mildly hit my tongue. If you cook, you know you have to peel away all layers of an onion to the first fully hydrated layer. Partially dehydrated onion once cooked becomes like cardboard or paper. I found once such piece of onion in my dish. Since it was just one, it didn't ruin the dish but they need to peel more carefully in the future. They have good hummus. They serve it with sliced vegetables and pita. It's a generous amount of hummus and vegetables and pita and hummus didn't outlast the dippables and dippables didn't outlast the hummus. GET THE MANGO RICE! Wonderful, toasted, nutty almonds slivers, warm sautéd mango chunks with hint of cinnamon, warm sticky rice, and a lightly sweet cream to pour all over. Reasonable prices, many menu choices. Ambiance is basic but food is great.

I had a craving for Thai food recently, so I hopped on Grub Hub and found Aroy Thai. I don't often…read moreget over to the NW side so I was interested in trying this spot. I ordered peanut curry noodles for Nate, curry pad Thai for me, crab rangoons, and tom yum soup. Our order was packaged well and everything was very hot. Curry pad Thai is my go-to and theirs was delicious! The noodles were perfectly cooked, it had a nice amount of chicken, and it was saucier than other places. I also tried the peanut curry noodles, which were excellent. Everything was so tasty and delicious! I would love to dine in sometime, and will definitely be ordering again for delivery from Aroy Thai.

Ooh no. Ok. This is a perfect example of "this is what you get for living in an American state". I…read morehope you understand my undertone.. I literally just ordered this and came home. Whatever is that pad Thai...?? White noodles with some sort of meat and shrimp... what the heck. Pad Thai is supposed to be dark and this is very very WHITE (wink wink). Mom tried a little bit of it and she didn't like it at all. Won't even eat it. Pad see-ew look right.. but the taste is weird. The tofu tastes so weird. Has a really weird aftertaste too. The Thai tea... ok. So. When you first get it it's tea with syrup that has orange coloring on it. The taste. Bleh. We had to ADD Lipton tea to make it taste better. I will never come back.

I recently came for a friend's birthday and was severely disappointed on our experience. We had a…read morereservation and were seated promptly but it was downhill from there. While yes, we had a large party, it was clear that the server could have used help. It took over 20 minutes for us to get our drink order (and my friend ordered a beer but she got it in a can), even more time to put in our food order and it took almost 2 hours for our food to arrive. When the food arrived, it was very clear that all the food was sitting for a long time under the heat lamps for a very long time. The kettle chips were hot! And they are not homemade. The burger my friend got was very dry and overcooked (ordered medium) and I ordered grilled chicken on my chicken Caesar salad and the chicken was not seasoned at all. I ordered a full and expected a full chicken breast with at least pepper on it! I got 5 slices... such a joke. The server tried to keep up and had to walk a lot of stairs but the whole experience was very lackluster and disappointing. I would have appreciated her explaining the wait time for food, coming back to see if we needed more water or drinks but nothing. I used to love coming here and I don't think I'll want to return.. it's past its prime and I think there are better places, with better food and better service. Especially for the cost. The other thing that made it difficult to enjoy was the noise - it was overwhelming how bad it was!

The chicken was seasoned with a sweet and tangy sauce served with rice and kimchi. The sweet potato fries were delicious! The only reason why I'm not giving them 5 stars is because we came at 11:30 on a weekday (they open at 11) and instead of taking our orders, the staff was occupied with cleaning and prepping to open, but I feel like this should've been done prior to opening.... Other than that food was great!
