One of the last Japanese restos I went to, in my quest to find the Ultimate Tendon!…read moreI had already gone to Mitsuwa, last week, then I remembered this resto my family and I used to go to, and I thought they might serve Tendon, unfortunately. they only had Katsudon. Oh well, so I tried it and I think they did something that kinda was off compared to the traditional way the Japanese usually served it. For one, the sauce was a bit more on the sweet side. And, traditionally, if it's a Donburi item, that means it's got a base of rice in a bowl. Their creation had some clear noodles mixed with the rice! It wasn't bad, it's just that, I've never had a Don dish with noodles mixed in with the rice! Sorry, It was weird.

I came here thinking Zara was right around the corner... only to realize it moved to the other side…read moreof Westfield Old Orchard a while ago lol. It was freezing, so I pivoted and ended up at Umaka Ramen -- honestly, not mad about it. Since I'm currently on a cut, I skipped ramen (painful, I know ) and went with the chicken teriyaki entrée with sauce on the side. It came out on a sizzling plate which made it feel extra legit, and the salad was actually beautifully plated...not just a throwaway side. That said... for $24, I still kinda feel like they should've just included the miso soup instead of charging extra. BUT -- the miso soup? They did NOT skimp. Loaded with tofu and seaweed, super comforting, and honestly one of the better ones I've had. Service and ambiance were both great...clean, cozy, and a nice escape from the cold mall chaos. Overall, a-ok in my book Not mind-blowing for the price, but solid, satisfying, and they gave me exactly what I ordered.

The sushi selection and freshness were okay. It's acceptable. It is definitely more for grab and go for huge catering orders. They offer a pretty extensive party tray selections. It doesn't matter if you're walking in from the front or the back, customers will still have to place their orders with the cashier. Cashier will ask if this is to go or dine in. I opted in for dine in to test the service. After paying for my order and selecting a table for myself, I still had to get up to get my own order from the cashier. There were 5 employees in the store, no water was served. My takeaway, dine in is a self service option. Quality: Fish portion was okay. Quality of sushi was okay. This place was not cheap for acceptable sushi.

Their prices for party trays are really reasonable, and they're always so nice to work with. Whether it's a small gathering or a bigger event, they've consistently been my go‑to for sushi catering.

We pass by Cupbop Jangin often and didn't make the trip out here until a friend wanted to try it…read moreout. The restaurant is very casual-order at the counter, find a table, and food is brought out to you. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant. Hubby and I ordered the popcorn chicken cupbop and the beef cupbop and shared it between ourselves and our child. Each cupbop also comes with a beverage of choice. I preferred the beef over the chicken but the chicken was on the dry side. Portions are large and it also comes with a lot of rice. We were full after our meal and still had a lot of rice leftover in our cupbops. We also shared a cheese tteokbokki which was mediocre. The flavor was just okay and the sauce was too liquidy for my taste. Overall, service is kind and this place is good for a quick bite. I'd probably stick to the cupbops if we came back in the future.

Their actual lunch menu is small but I believe you can order from the dinner menu as well. We ordered Seasonal Vegetable Tempura Set and Crunchy Spicy Tuna Maki, Salmon Avocado Maki, 2pc Chef Selection Nigiri. They each come with a substantial salad and prime beef and kimchi dumplings. Everything was delicious. Definitely the best tempura I've ever had. Service is excellent and the ambiance is beautiful and cozy.

It's trendy and clean and elevated and feels like you're in Greece at a super nice beach club. They've done an excellent job with the atmosphere. The service is the quickest I've ever seen and staff are friendly and professional. There were lots of kids in there, but I'd say it's nicer restaurant. The spicy whipped feta was tasty, but not spicy at all. It had pistachios and pomegranates on top - i'm not sure if they gave us the wrong whipped feta or they've changed the menu, but there was zero spice to it. The lamb ragu hummus was also good. Super hearty and a great twist to a normally plain dip. The veggies that came with it were displayed SO stunning. Rainbow carrots and lots of fun veggies. The pita was delicious as well. We had 2 chicken kabobs - the grilled and the kefta. Both were seasoned and cooked great. I'd get the Kefta one again - the tzatziki it comes with was perfect. For dessert, we had pistachio and cookies n sprinkles Greek frozen yogurt. It really is Greek frozen yogurt and you can taste it. The pistachio one came with almost a pistachio infused sauce on top. If you order at the table, it's a much larger portion than if you get it from the to- go window. We got both one at the table and one to go, and the one of the table did taste significantly better. I'm not kidding - you order and then within 3 to 5 minutes the dish comes out. They really know how to get you in and out, but we also had wine so it's fun to sit and just relax too. Overall, the food quality wasn't quite as high as I was hoping (comparing it to Ava), but I'd come back of course.
