Beautiful place, friendly staff, great menu and fast service!…read moreMy kind of place. I stopped here on the way to a performance at the college in town. I need to kill about an hour and 1/2 before load-in. Coming on out of the cold to hot green tea, miso soup and sweet potato roll, is the way to go. As many restaurant do, the out something on the table to snack on. Edamame! I will be here befo how're every future show to relax!

My…read morefirst AYCE experience ever, and I gotta say phewwww remember your eyes can be bigger than your stomach. But despite the trouble finishing that last roll (I mean, when it's all inclusive, how can you help yourself?), it was delicious. Service is quick and efficient and you order on a tablet, and you just add to your tab as you go. Rolls, apps, and drinks were all super tasty. ALSO, huge shoutout to our server because it was my boyfriend's birthday. But it was just the 2 of us, and their menu/website says birthdays eat free but onlyyy if the party is 4 or larger. Well, to account for this, my boyfriend still got a 50% discount for his birthday, and we were expecting them to just reject the deal entirely! So that was a pretty sweet deal.

Needless to say, we had every intention of getting our moneys worth for the all you can eat option. After placing our order, the server comes to our table and loudly expresses his concern with our ability to finish 11 sushi rolls and that this is not normal. Our server and others kept stopping by our table to ensure we would eat what we order; it made us feel very uncomfortable. Had a Long Island iced tea and it tastes like soda. We finished everything and even ordered dessert, would never go back.

The service was a bit slow but it seemed they were short staffed. We got: Shaomai: 4.5/5 it's good but a bit pricy compared to other spots Dandan noodles: 3.8/5 it's good but wasn't peanuty like others Walnut shrimp: 4/5 good but I think it could've been crispier Popcorn chicken: 5/5 loved the price and crisp! The restaurant is cute and has a nice cozy vibe about it with some Asia decor.

I was surprised to see the negative reviews of this place because I have been coming here on the…read morereg for months now and I have NEVER had a bad experience. The staff is knowledgable, accommodating, and very friendly and the fish selection is the BEST in the Chicago city limits. Other stores focus more on custom tanks, maintenance, plants, etc. but this store really focuses on having fish - and lots of them! Not knocking the other stores, but this store is about as fun to walk through as it is to actually go home with your new fishy friends! Who else has an almost constant stock of Discus, Stingray, RARE Blue Parrot Cichlids, and a Flowerhorn or two? Come on! I did go in once to get some Rummynose Tetras and they didn't last past the week... but the staff - especially the owner - were really great helping me out the next time I came through to make sure my issues were resolved. The staff has always cautioned me against a purchase if it's not the right fit and helped me find something that goes well with whatever tank I am currently stocking. Honestly, this is one of my favorite places to go AND it's super close to Chinatown so I can zip over for some good eats before or after my visit. When the pandemic has subsided, I plan to bring friends and family here to see how cool my favorite LFS is before grabbing some dim sum.

It definitely feels extensive and organized with sections for soil, different climates/plant needs, and grade of plant. The indoor plants I've bought here are mostly doing great if a little neglected from my own care. We ended up planting some of the outdoor plants too early, but the quality was great overall. Given the late last frost date here, I would just wait to buy outdoor plants in the spring. The parking lot is extensive, and they have several community events as well as opportunities to host birthday parties for any age. Staff were really helpful and efficient at the register.

Our pond is as beautiful, if not more beautiful than when it was first installed! Jim, the owner, is very knowledgeable about the care and maintenance of Koi fish and you can ask him anything about water treatment, troubleshooting for problems with fish, predators or algae (anything relating to pond care). We highly recommend this company for it's reliability and expertise for anyone who is looking to have a water feature or sanctuary in their backyard or business.
