We had a family get together, with 13 people, here which was fantastic. The service (Doug) did a great job with the entire group. The food was very good as well, with plentiful portions and great taste from the sharables to the entrees. Everyone had nothing but good to say about their meals. We will definitely return!!

We ordered 3 appetizers for the three of us before having our main course of Ramen. The appetizers were delicious and the Ramen was very good prices. Add up easily here with the speed fairly costly overall it’s a good place to eat. It is more expensive than we thought it would be.

The food was great. The atmosphere was fun for a Saturday night. The service was slow and our server didn’t tell us the specials of the week. Would have really liked to try the stir fry which I saw I after I ordered didn’t know that was even an option.

I highly recommend you dine here. We’re so excited that they’ve taken over the Greek place permanently. We ate here the last couple years during their pop ups. We had a reservation, but we always opt for the bar if seats are available. So we decided to sit at the bar and gave up our reservation. The bartender was extremely friendly and attentive. He offered drinks immediately and told us about the specials. We started with the spicy chicken dumplings which were delicious. For dinner we had chicken katsu ramen and the chicken katsu hoagie with French fries. Both were equally delicious. We can’t wait to go back.

Delicious dishes that are very creative and bursting with deliciousness. Good craft drinks as well. Ambience is very cool too! So many dishes on the menu to try we couldn’t decide! So we ended up splitting a few things making a promise to go back to try the rest! Owner and staff make you feel like you’re family. Do not miss this brand new addition to downtown Libertyville. You will not be disappointed
