    Egg Roll
    Jack G.

    ** Super Fast Service ** This is the first and I hope only one star review I have written. A off day could be understood after all we are people and no one is perfect. This was two for two. There will not be a third time. The "super fast service" is the only good thing I can say about this place. Ordered delivery and the food was here in about fifteen minutes, not that I'm complaining about fast service but fifteen minutes should have been a red flag for the amount of food we ordered. I honestly believe some of the food was actually spoiled. Bbq Pork: can not even describe the taste. It was. unrecognizable. Horrible taste to the meat and terrible aftertaste from the sauce. Orange Chicken: Again with the terrible tang from the sauce. Never experienced such a taste. You don't expect the greatest when ordering Chinese, usually your in the mood for something specific. This place was thee WORST I have ever eaten. The absolute worst. Everything tasted completely off. The tang in the food was not of too much spice or syrup but of spoiled food. Unbelievably bad. Safe to say we will not be ordering from here again. I urge others to find an alternative.

    Fighting a hang over :) Spicy chicken wings, meat filled wontons and pork egg roll.

    I came here with a group of friends, our main goal the khachapuri, but everything about the food…read moreand experience was fantastic. The restaurant has a very open, warm vibe, very spacious. We had boorsok for our appetizer, fried dough bites that reminded me of funnel cake without sugar, and there were a lot! I had the strawberry mojito drink, and it was fantastic, really tasting of fresh fruit with many mint leaves inside. The khachapuri was extraordinary. They do imeruli style, round and similar to a pizza, the crust beautifully blistered and the cheese thick with a wonderful pull. One of my friends hadn't had khachapuri before and is now a convert. We also had boso lagman, with hand-pulled noodles and beef, and big manty dumplings with flavorful meatballs inside. I requested we get a slice of honey cake, too, and that was a perfect finish to the meal. Sweet but not overkill, and really tasted like honey, graham crackers, and cream. I'm not sure when I will possibly be in this area again, but wow, I would come here again.

The decor offered great ambiance! In order to try a couple of items my sister and I decided to split the laghman and eggplant salad. The laghman was excellent with fresh hand-pulled noodles. I appreciated that they split the dish in the kitchen for us. The eggplant salad was a good portion to supplement the noodles. But points of caution that they are fried and have an almost sweet and sour sauce on top which for me was a little heavy. Overall quick and efficient service for a sit down lunch during the work week. They also appeared to have an extensive drink menu of different lemonade and coffee that I would be interested to try next time.

There is a large parking lot out front and plenty of seating inside. There is also a large party room available for big groups. We ordered the Korean style sweet and sour beef-tangsooyook (breaded chunks of beef in a white sweet and sour sauce, with onions, pineapple and bell peppers), Korean noodles with black bean sauce (jjajangmyun), and garlic chicken wings (kan-poong-ki). The chicken wings were originally intended to be spicy but we were able to get them non-spicy for our small child. The jiajangmyun was pretty standard and the chicken wings were tender and easy to eat (small child could eat them easily with the bone). The sweet and sour beef was my favorite of the three dishes and was really flavorful. Overall, food was good and staff were kind. We will be back for more!

I ordered the Chicken and Vegetables. The sauce seemed broken with no flavor. The main veggie was bean sprouts. They have no flavor normally so added nothing to the dish. The Chicken was good but again no flavor. I was happy it wasn't salty but confused as to why everything tasted so bland.

    I am so glad we finally tried this place out! We were looking for a place for hotpot and were about…read moreto head out to Schaumburg when I remembered this place (and seeing another trusted Elite's glowing review sealed the deal, so thanks, Lina W.!). We came on a weekday around 5:30 and the place was practically empty when we got there and not too busy when we left, either. So when we arrived, they gave us the rundown. It's an all-you-can-eat place for two hours (at least on weekdays--it may be different on weekends or peak hours). You also get to visit the appetizer area, which had a variety of stuff including fried rice, egg rolls, orange chicken or something, and more. There's a sushi area where there were several different types of sushi. Desserts are available as well, and they looked good though we forgot about them. The available veggies and stuff is a smaller selection of choices than some other hot pot restaurants I've been to. But that doesn't mean you'll go hungry. While we were here we got brisket, chicken, calamari, lotus root, broccoli, potatoes, a couple different types of noodles, gyoza, and there was more that we didn't get of course. They have like six different types of hot pot base you can choose from, and you can get refills of that, too, during your 2 hours' time. I got what was described as the "spicy sour" soup base, and my partner got the Szechuan which was described as the spiciest. Everything was excellent, the meal was a great value (~35 per person), though the drinks were a little high. I got a couple peach iced teas and they were $7 a pop, so overpriced but the rest of the meal was so reasonable the cost of the drink was not a big deal. There's lots of parking in the municipal lots, and you might even be able to park in the library lot, so parking shouldn't be an issue. If you're coming from the city or a nearby suburb, it's also a block away from the Des Plaines stop on the UP-NW Metra line. I've already told my sister we're coming back here when she next comes to visit, and I'm looking forward to it.

    This was truly a fun experience. While I've had Hot Pot and Korean Barbeque before, the combination…read morewas interesting. We went for lunch on a Monday and there were many open tables. We were seated immediately and a server came right over. Their first question was to ask if we'd been there before. The second question was if we'd had Hot Pot or Korean Barbeque before. Since we were "pros," she let us know to order on the provided iPad. They also have a few steam tables where you can find things to make a dipping sauce, sushi, fresh fruit, some deserts, and other items. With the name "Galaxy," they have an outer space theme with planets and space suits hanging from the ceiling. Lots of neon lights, too. Fun. We started with Hot Pot, then shifted to Korean Barbeque. We had so many different meats and vegetables I won't even try to recount. Apparently, the menu is more extensive, with better cuts of meat, for dinner. I have to tell you that the meats we had were more than adequate. We ate so much, I'm not sure if there were other choices, if we would change anything. Our server was also great. She was there when we needed her, was very pleasant and helpful and helped make our experience a great one. The food is all included and endless, but you pay extra for drinks. They have a full bar if you are interested (but at noon, it wasn't for us). There is a two-hour time limit, and we hit our fill before time ran out.

I was picking up for my partner and wasn't eating the food myself; I don't know that I would have actually been able to eat anything from here. And when I asked about how the food was, I was told it was edible but not a place we needed to go again. When I placed the order I was told it would take 15 minutes. I got there 25 minutes after my order was placed, and I still had to wait. This was particularly annoying because I ordered it before leaving Glenview to head home specifically because we had an appointment that evening and time was short. There was one person in the restaurant when I got there and I don't know if they were a customer; they left as I was walking in--so it wasn't like it was a popular night. The price was laughably high. One of the dishes I considered was like $5 more than the comparable one at my fave Chinese place in Ravenswood.
