It is a…read morevery busy restaurant, so it's better to make a reservation in advance as it is not easy to get a table. The interior is unique and well-decorated, with plenty of items on the menu. Since we came in a group, we ordered various appetizers and ramen. The service is a bit slow, but we enjoyed chatting while waiting for our order. This place is great for groups too. I particularly enjoyed the garlic ramen. The broth was bold and flavorful. The spicy ramen was also good and not too spicy. The chicken karaage was delicious, the chuka ika was okay, the gyoza was average, and the beef tongue was yummy.

Ami was chosen as a family favorite and a place close to campus, where the oldest daughter (now a Junior at IU) could show us around after the meal. Note: Ami could sure use a new exterior sign. Ami is mainly a Sushi restaurant, but has Korean accents, of which my Cupbap bowl (Chicken and Rice) was quite good. I'm completely clueless regarding Sushi nomenclature, but I did know that those choices (in generous quantity) were enjoyed by the other 5 folks at the table. I was the only one that ordered beer, of which my Upland Dragonfly IPA choice had just the right amount of bite and at only $5. We also had a nice roomy table by the window. Service was friendly and prompt, albeit a bit uninspired. It was a very good family outing.

The fish was all the cheapest types, including tilapia which is pretty awful in sushi. No nori, no tobiko, no ikura. Two pieces of hamachi. Not particularly fresh. The sushi selection #2 was a little better. There was one piece of squid that included some nori and was well prepared. Tiny decorative amounts of tobiko were present. Soy sauce included was all high salt content. $82.00 Not ordering from Ami again.

The modern interior gives it a nice upscale feel, and the service is friendly and attentive. I also really like that they offer a teppanyaki option -- always fun and adds to the experience. A solid choice for Japanese food in Bloomington if you're looking for something casual and consistent.

Not gruesomely expensive. Good quality ingredients, not slopped together. Fresh and tasty because of the ingredients and detail. Their sauces are also tasty and fresh. We wondered why we'd not been there before; it's across from Tres Amigos. Parking is usually OK. They handled our crowd, just two of them, quickly and with a smile. Their beverages are in a nearby pair of fridges; all of us found what we wanted. Counter service, with a smile.

I saw the same man…read morethat I mentioned in my first review again and he seemed to be in a better mood or something because he came off as much friendlier, and their other waitstaff is also very polite. I tried their kimchi pancake and the Korea gimbap. The gimbap was just average but the kimchi pancake was fantastic. It was also huge! The price looked expensive on paper, but I understood when I saw it. I could only eat 3/4 of it myself as a meal and even then I was really full. But it was hard to stop! Nice and crunchy and very flavourful. I'll probably continue to come here on occasion when I want Korean because the location is convenient.

The place is really cozy, I decided to eat outside on the patio as it sprinkled. They also sell some snacks and frozen goods you would find at an Asian grocer. Firstly, the prices here are amazing. I spent a little under $20 dollars and I got a large bowl of Jjam-Ppong Ramen and Bugolgi Kimbap. It also came with a side of Kimchi and Macaroni Salad. The food came out relatively quick despite there being maybe one staff member there at the time. The Jjam-Ppong Ramen was great! The noodles had the perfect amount of chew and there was a decent amount of seafood in the dish considering it was only about $9. It was also the perfect amount of spice, I think even those who don't like spicy food could manage with this one. The Kimbap was also really good and had refreshing flavor with the pickles and veggies. The cheese was a nice addition. Overall I totally recommend this place. The quality for the price is amazing here, and the atmosphere is cute as well. One of my favorites in Bloomington.

Service was very good. It's a bit expensive here for the Seoul street foods presented. Is it "Asian Fusion"? We thought.... not. Still very good, fresh, good ingredients, and fast thoughtful service. Good.... but will they survive on the tough Bloomington 4th St Restaurant Row? We couldn't decide. It's a tough street. The K-Pop music was OK. It's a good place for a date if you have budget, we decided.

We started with the ttuk kko chi which were rice cakes covered in a gochujang sauce. The cakes were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The sauce it was in was amazing, balancing the heat from the gochujang with some sweetness. Next, we got the Korean fried chicken (they were out of KFC wings). I remember the sauce being a little more red last time, but it was still good. Super crispy exterior and no excess batter so we just tasted the juicy chicken. The two entrees we got were the spicy chicken and jaeyuk. The spicy chicken was flavorful and tender. Along with the chicken, the veggies were stir fried nicely and coated in the broth. The jaeyuk was a little better with the pork having a great marinade and also being super tender. On top of the food we ordered, we were given a salad, soup, and rice which were all nice accompaniments. This was the meal I was looking forward to the most in my return and it did not disappoint. The only and I mean only thing to change is having bigger napkins on the table. Everything else is great and most importantly all the food is delicious.
