I heard they have some of the best crab Rangoon in the city, so you know I'd get over here…read moreeventually. (Actually, they are on the awesome crab Rangoon database, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QSQhg2_bTPApajJmPVewjtMe0A3QmIWnms3-CccL7vM/edit?gid=0#gid=0.) And my review is partly skewed toward that crab Rangoon, though I had a really good experience all in all. In a strip out front of Meijer, easy access and parking. Opens at 11 but they were open a bit before that today, which was nice. Super friendly and efficient service the whole way through. Dark inside but not gloomy; cozy. Lots on the menu, and I had a hard time deciding. Went with the Rangoon, of course, and a lunch special: 3 sushi rolls. That comes with soup or salad, and I had the miso soup, pretty darn good and with more tofu and seaweed than most. The crab Rangoon came out next and: oh my. Perfectly wrapped little packages of goodness. Beautifully plated, nicely made, and filled with cheese and a good amount of crab. Tasty, nice texture contrast between the filling and the thin crunchy shell, and served with a slightly-spicy homemade (I am guessing) sauce. Then the sushi trio. Again beautifully plated. I got eel and avocado, spicy tuna, and kani. The kani was my favorite, then the eel, then tuna. Best sushi around? Nah. But pretty good, and a really good deal. Fair sized rolls. Nicely made. The eel was tender and flavorful. The kani was good. Spicy tuna was just okay. I'll be back, for Rangoon and probably entrees. Out of my way, but glad I came today. Enjoyed the whole visit.

So Mark and I tried a new to us restaurant this afternoon…read more.. It's primarily a Thai / Hibachi carry out, with 5 tables. You order and pay at the kiosk and wait for them to bring it out to you. Our food took about 8 to 10 minutes. It looks clean inside, is brightly lit and the staff are very friendly and polite. I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai which was quite delicious, one of the better versions in town. I counted 8 large shrimp covered by both thin and medium wide noodles which was odd and made it a little heavier but it worked for me on a certain level. The flavors were spot on Thai with that delicious mix of sweet, sour and salty. My only suggestion would be to get a little more scrambled egg and bean sprouts to lighten the heaviness of the rice noodles. My main sticking point is that they apparently don't offer lunch portions. The portions are dinner sized @ $17.99 but it's just far too much food for me and I'm not a fan of leftovers. Add a mini Pepsi @ $2.50 and tax and I had a nearly $21 lunch at a strip mall carryout? Ouch! There's a lot of positives that work well for others but the lack of a lunch portion will probably keep me away so... 4 Stars

I'm torn on this one, and had hoped for better. Maybe that's it, high expectations. But I was not…read morequite in love with this place. I met Mike G. here for lunch. Easy to find, plenty of parking. I'd driven past before and been intrigued. It's small, and cute, inside and out. Friendly staff. Nice selection of drinks, interesting menu. The food was good. Not great, but good. I got pad see yew, somewhat rare even on Thai menus, and one of my favorites. Big portion, decent flavor. But not as good as other local versions of pad see yew. I chose spice level 3, and it was appropriate- spicy but not crazy. Order at the counter or on the kiosk. Basically Thai classics and hibachi, as you might expect from the name. Prices, though... Yikes. Sticker shock is the norm lately, but these were higher even than I would expect. And the base price does not include protein. Well, it seems to include chicken, and any other option is extra. Not uncommon, but the base prices elsewhere are usually lower. Portions are pretty big, though. I had enough for two meals. So figure that in. Drinks were also expensive- $3 for a 16-oz pop bottle (and only slightly cool, not cold.) $2.50 for a "mini." Ridiculous. I had intended to get crab Rangoon, but was scared off by the entree's price. I was thinking "next time," but it was so expensive and the food just wasn't amazing, so I probably won't be back. It's a haul for me. If it is handy for you, check it out.

If you want to ACTUALLY go to "9 and 3/4," then here it is!…read more 아주머니.... Thank you for bringing me back home when I'd sit on the floor at my mother's third oldest brother's house... mom had eight brothers and sisters and the oldest was as old as her father could be... almost 20-30 years older, actually...she was pretty lonely with no close-in-age sibling around... It was my first visit to Korea and have not been back. But it brings me back. 해물 순두부찌개 (Spicy soft tofu stew with seafood Haemul sundubu-jjigae)...it has the dashi-approach around the fringe of its flavor profile... dimensions! This week was the week I was supposed to get married but my ex Fiance backed out of the whole proposition all together... before you ask. Yes. "Marriage" was actually his idea... me? Well. I just wanted a true fried for life--no binding obligations to the "for life" part... So here I am. Back home. Back to the beginning... I'm not waiting for Vizzini. But please... father I have failed you for 20 years, please I need you to to guide my sword and I cannot do it alone. It's the broth. Before anyone says "high prices for non premium ingredients"... I say hold on... it comes down to: labor and love. Korean cooking is not just ingredients alone. It is the salt. It is the hand kneading, flavor, and marrying of such (pun). There is more than a spirit in the cooking. More than just the soul. But emotion. Maybe Koreans feel this in our blood. Google the word "Han" and maybe you'll get just a drop of taste on the tongue to taste and see. This is a one woman show. Plus her kitchen staff or just one helper in the whole restaurant. Please come here ready to put patience to action and feel full and whole from doing so. Your good deed of the day. I would come here for comfort. Because I missed something I could not explain... or define... or I'd come here in time of overt failure. Auntie said hi to me. She asked if - I was Korean - saying I must be. We never were truly accepted. Even just visiting the first time in 22 years in Korea. If you don't see family for 22 years... I suppose ... you couldn't easily accept me either? Maybe she saw the Satori. Maybe she saw some Cheju. Maybe she saw some of Gramma. You know most people would turn away but you count on the hope that there will be that -one- who will read it, and stay. So yes, you.. dear one. I am so glad you heard about it... P.s. The Yuk-Gae Jiang has real bone broth. Like Cow knuckle, dude. It solidifies into one pure block of collagen when you fridge the takeout into the next day. ::mic drop::

Authentic Korean fare | Karaoke nightly…read more Blink and you'll miss it. Restaurant Silla is one of those hidden-in-plain-sight gems -- tucked in the same shopping center as Marc's, yet I'd walked past it for years without noticing. A coworker finally nudged me to give it a shot, and I'm glad they did. Inside, it's cozy but vibrant. Neon lighting dances off paper lanterns above, and there's a fish tank so boldly decorated it could double as an aquarium exhibit. (Shoutout to whoever's in charge of the underwater vibe.) Ordering is all done via touchscreen tablets at the table -- easy, fast, and gives you space to browse without pressure. ‍ As for the food... let's break it down: * Chap Chai ($16) Stir-fried glass noodles with beef and veggies This was my personal order -- and unfortunately, a one-bite fail. The noodles were clumped and glossy with a sauce texture I couldn't get past. I passed the dish off, and to be fair, the person who finished it texted later saying it was actually really good... but understood why I couldn't hang. Texture-sensitive eaters, consider yourself warned. * Young-Ja Mandu (Large - $25) Deep-fried dumplings with spicy sauce and a side salad The dumplings themselves? Excellent -- crispy, flavorful, no complaints. The salad was surprisingly fruity, with chunks of apple, pear, and possibly mango tossed in. Super fresh, a little odd, but definitely not forgettable. * Fried Dumplings ($8) Pork and veggie, served with seasoned soy sauce These were the winner of the night. Perfectly crisp outside, juicy and flavorful inside. Straightforward and well-executed -- I'd come back for these alone. Before the entrees landed, we were served a complimentary spread of banchan (Korean side dishes) -- a mix of pickled radish, cucumbers, bean sprouts, a creamy slaw, something red and spicy that might've been seafood... who knows, but I'd eat it again. It was a thoughtful, generous touch and gave the meal a more immersive feel. A few things to know: - This is authentic Korean food, not Americanized. If something doesn't hit right, it's likely your palate -- not the kitchen. - Prices had me expecting either larger portions or more premium ingredients. That wasn't always the case, so plan your order accordingly. Final Thought: Silla isn't trying to be everyone's favorite. It leans into traditional Korean flavors and textures unapologetically -- and I respect that. If you're the kind of eater who's curious, open-minded, and willing to explore beyond your usual go-tos, this place offers a real-deal intro to Korean dining. Bonus points if you stay for karaoke -- or just bask in the glowing neon and aquarium glow while sipping on hot tea.

My family and I are in Ohio for a family emergency and when we arrived after our flight, we were…read morestarving for food and we decided to go to Hibachi Go. After dealing with a long flight with our dog, we were pleasantly satisfied and happy with the food we received. Ordering a take out and knowing that we can't eat inside with our dog, the three of us ordered the same steak and shrimp meal. It is safe to say that my expectations were blown away and the three of us were contentedly silent with every savoring bite we ate. The portions itself were wonderful to see once we opened our food. It is always pleasing and refreshing to see that they were not being stingy about their portions. The fried rice was mouth watering as it wasn't greasy and made fresh. The steak and shrimp were flawless and everything paired with their yum yum sauce made it ten times better. Even with the small hiccup of not hearing to right amount we ordered on the phone, the wait itself for two more steak and shrimp was not too long. I adored the interior of the place while my mom and I waited for our food to be made. Overall, I am very pleased and happy that out of anywhere we could've gotten food from, this was the first place I chose. Especially when it had been years since we came back to Ohio.

They served my food on a plate that was chipped on two corners! As for the food--the Miso soup was cold, mediocre at best as the sesame chicken, you're eating cold sticky breading of something, (dare I say, it doesn't taste like chicken!) and the white rice was cold, hard, not fully cooked. I could barely take 3-4 bites and we decided to leave. My friend had Tai Curry chicken and she took two bites, pushing her plate away. We couldn't take another bite. I was afraid to even take a drink of my water that was replaced. I assume it was the manager that asked if we cared for a to-go box as we sat there with our plates untouched, we said no. Explained that everything about our lunch experience was not good; he adjusted our bill slightly and asked for us to come back and give them another try with a different dish. No thank you.
