    Hanoi affogato
    Ashley A.

    2D restaurant offers a cute aesthetic, but the service is lacking. We came on a Saturday night with no reservation, at first we were told there were no tables, and we could order to go. Once we mentioned we were only stopping in for drinks and desserts, we were offered a table. It took a while for someone to take our order. I could tell other tables were annoyed with the slow service as well. The place inside is pretty small. We tried the viet coffee and the hanoi affogato which both were quite mediocre in flavor. The kids loved the wiggle wiggle dessert since they got to decorate the cat. They did not like the taste of the cat pudding but loved the fruit and mochi donut. I'm not sure I would come back to try the food.

    Such amazing food - I love their chicken sandwiches and bowls. But more than the food, I love how the owner does such great philanthropy in the area and hosts all these thoughtful events for the community. Each year on National Taiwan Day (10/10) they have these crazy deals that are so worth. Be on the lookout! This year their proceeds went towards the disaster fund in Taiwan. We also go to make our own mochi and heard how the owner was teaching kids in the nearby schools for lunar new year too!! If I had to give some critique, the drinks here are not my favorite but the food and service more than make up for it! Very family friendly and great place to catch up with friends.

    Chicken Sandwich w pineapple salsa

    I saw this place on some Food Network show and knowing we were going to Chicago soon, looked it up. This restaurant is unique on the inside. There are about 8 tables, so I made a reservation to make sure we got in. Our reservation was at noon on a Friday, and there was only one guy serving the entire place. He didn't even take our order until 12:25pm. Our water didn't arrive till 12:45 pm. Once we ordered, the food came out relatively fast. The spicy cucumber salad was of ample size and VERY spicy to us. The fried chicken for the sandwiches I believe are thighs and the breading was great. It's just that the chicken pieces were small on my sandwich, but bigger on others. The fries and the onion rings are fantastic. We all (party of five) had never tried a Mochi donut so we ordered three different ones. We liked them all. I'm not a donut fan, but these might convert me. This is a one and done place for us because of the service. It is worth going once for the ambiance, onion rings, fries, and chicken. And I might order take-out next time.

    Ube Matcha Milk Latte

    This place is too cute. It's literally made for social media post like Instagram and TikTok. The food is almost secondary. Now we got here when it was empty. I don't know how its gonna look like when it's filled with people. But for now we have the place all to ourselves. We had both ube drinks both very pretty - nice. I prefer not to mix my matcha ube, so I can taste each distinct flavor same with the ube coffe. One gripe is it's serve on plastic tumblers which doesn't photograph as well.

    Definitely recommend making a reservation to get a seat inside. The view when you walk in is trippy with just seeing black and white. I love how the plates of food are full of color! We started off with chef recommended potatoes croquettes. Boy, these things were light and pillowy! The sauces were yummy. We also each got entrees. I went with the Chicago Tribune recommended fried chicken sandwich. Bread was super fluffy, coleslaw gave a lil sweetness, and pineapple chili sauce chicken gave a lil zing! What a great sammie!! Kevin got the chicken platter which came with 2 sides, cabbage and rice. He also got the pineapple chili but his was hotter since the chicken was more coated than my sandwich. He loved the mango jasmine tea and opted for the sweeter option. We will definitely be back when we come to Chicagoland again! See you soon! Jake and kevin

    Food was decent for a more "instagramable" establishment - tried their fried chicken curry don and was pleasantly surprised by their curry. Enjoyed their addition of minced meat into the sauce. I got my food to-go since the restaurant was slightly hectic and they seemed to be understaffed. The entrance is really tiny and not a great first view by the customers. It felt like we were being pushed / kept out.

    A cool and unique 2D comic dining experience in black and white. I felt like I walked inside of a comic book. A fun place to come and visit with family, friends, solo date. My server Alexander was attentive and friendly. I arrived when the door opened to beat the crowd of people that had reservations. I was instantly seated, handed a menu with a nice tall cold glass of water. Alexander was even so kind to let me try some of their chicken. I wasn't a big fan of the flavor but it was crispy and cooked well. I was more impressed with the art dimensional of this place. This is a must hidden gem to come and visit. Great to take some photo shoots for social media. I just ended up ordering the lemon blossom fizz lemonade and a chocolate mochi donut. Both were a delicious treat. My total was $16.19. The prices are not displayed on the menu and I was shocked to see on my bill that a glass of lemonade was almost $10.00. Overall the experience was a 10/10.

    The doughnuts were good - "loved them all except the wreath one. The snowman doughnut was fire!! Our plan was to eat in, but a warm winter in Chicago has not done the restaurant well and it was just a little dingy. I have sympathy because I am sure that it is hard to keep up with an all white restaurant. However, you chose to be an all white restaurant so... We will try again. I'm giving some grace for a holiday week.

    I came here on my way to the pride fest and it turned out to be a really nice place to stop by! When we first walked in, we were greeted by the employee who informed us that it was short staffed and just them at the front. I appreciated the heads up and we just got drinks to go but they let us sit inside anyways. The design of this place is unlike anything you see and I love how you feel like you are in a comic. The boba was pretty good and super refreshing. I do think the boba was not as fresh and a little too mushy but nothing bad.

    Tried the food this time, which was actually pretty delicious! The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy, juicy, and well seasoned. We got the Taiwanese fried chicken and curry over rice and it was yummy! I would recommend. I would come back here and order from the food menu again in the future!

    Had a wonderful dining experience at the 2D cage today! Service was great and food was delicious. Get the jello cat, so cute and you can design it with edible food coloring.

    Took the kids for snacks and had a bit of a wait on a weekday with no reservations. We were a bit disappointed that there were no cat puddings left but being surrounded by art and the sweet chewy mochi donuts more than made up for it. We will have to go back for a cat pudding!

    Coming to the 2d restaurant was one of the highlights of my chicago trip!! I highly recommend getting a reservation for the meal experience. This comes with a drink, side salad, main course, dessert, and a photoshoot at the end! I chose to get a milk tea, asian crunch chili sandwich, and we all picked a different mochi donut at the end. Everything tasted amazing (I wish the food looked 2d too) and I was really satisfied at the end. The photo experience then had us pose in a van outside and peeking around various doors and corners of the restaurant. It was super cute! I would definitely recommend coming here to everyone. I was scared it would be a bit gimmicky but the food and experience were all great. They also provided coloring sheets as a fun activity while you wait or after you finish your food. I had such a good time :)

    When is the best time to visit if we don't want to deal with the crowd?

    How long is the wait for a Monday morning (typically) if I don't reserve a table?

    Honestly I would call ahead, I'm sure reservations are encouraged

    Is the chicken dark meat or white meat?

    Dark meat!

    Are the mochi donuts gluten free? 🤞🏻

    I'm pretty sure they're not gluten free.

    Are there any vegan options?

    There aren't any vegan options unfortunately. They all have dairy.

    How are the food and the drinks?

    Sandwich was a children's size, for $ 15. Took my mango limeade fizz, which was tasty, back because it was primarily ice

    Making the trek from the burbs to the city on a Saturday night is a pain these days so when we do…read moreso we like to make it worth it. And Omakase on Me was well worth it from both an entertainment and food perspective. I had booked this for our anniversary about a month ago after seeing the stellar reviews and we are huge sushi fans. I didn't research too much so wasn't exactly sure how it worked, but the surprise was part of the fun. We arrived for our 7:30pm reservation and were asked to sit to the side until everyone arrived. I figured they'd take us to a table in the back, but then realized there's just one bar where everyone sits. They do 3 seatings a night: 530pm, 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Our entire experience was about an hour of 15 min and we left super full and well entertained. There are 16 courses. I believe about 5 appetizers, followed by many sushi courses, 1 hand roll and finally a delicious cheesecake for dessert. I was super full around course #8 and my husband had to start helping me out even though it was all so good. It wasn't the best sushi I've ever had, but really good by Chicago standards. We were sitting next to a lovely couple from Seattle where they do have a really good fresh sushi and they were fans too. The presentation was so fun that you'll definitely want to keep your phone handy to take pics and videos. And the staff was upbeat, hilarious and so nice! They also kept the sake flowing. They do offer other drinks, but we really didn't need to order on top of all of the sake. Our total ended up being around $400, which is pricey for a meal for 2 but felt like it was a show plus sushi...and such a unique experience. My husband loved it all and thanked me for finding something super fun to celebrate our anniversary. On your way out you'll also have the opportunity to sign the wall. For the cost I think it was a one time experience for a date night, but i do think it would be a blast to fill the place with a bunch of friends so maybe we'll do that at some point!

    Also could be called Sake On Me since you really do get AYCD sake complements of Sake Boy (there's…read morealso a limited beverage menu with other things to purchase). Said Sake Boy and Chef Bankky (sp?) will make sure you Enjoy Your F*cking Dinner. They put on a great show while serving 16 really nice, varied bites accompanied by great, classic rock and pop. Eclectic atmosphere, like a 70's basement with console stereo, posters and albums on display accented with random neon, including in the restroom. We appreciated that they did their thing for just the 2 of us on a recent Wednesday 5:30p seating. It could be a great dinner party if you came with a group... Creative nigiri, a handroll, interesting serving vessels highlighted interesting fish and flavor combos, with a bit of uni, Wagyu, and caviar thrown in for good measure. Will definitely return.
