I remember coming here a long time ago, and was happy that the flavors have kept up after all this time. I had gotten the Soft Shell Crab Sushi Burrito for my meal as a soft shell crab enthusiast. I liked the extreme crunch with each bite from the tempura flakes on the outside, the fried crab, and vegetables inside. The flavors were nice with the crab and sauce, and a creamy avocado is always welcome in my sushi! I did feel like the messiest person ever, since the outer crunch was flying everywhere each time I peeled the wrapper or took a bite. I also wasn't much of a fan of the jalapeños and felt like their flavor was quite distracting and different that I had to look back at the menu to figure out what was throwing me off. Perhaps another option without the jalapeños next time. My girlfriend got the Shrimp Tempura and Salmon Wafu Sushi Tacos for her meal. These bites were fun and flavorful and quite filling! The sauce and toppings added some extra oomph that made it special even if it was just a different form of a sushi roll. She liked the Salmon Wafu more, as the tempura itself felt pretty standard and like some more rice was needed. The salmon was nice and fresh and was cut into nice big chunks before being covered in some tasty sauce. I had also gotten the Strawberry Lemonade and was pleasantly surprised with their lil concoction. It was just some of their own stuff mixed into some soda, but still a nice a refreshing drink. Quite a yummy spot with a lot more options for us to choose from, so I'm looking forward to another visit! It was great to see that these different forms aren't just a gimmick and that they have some good flavors to them. They also have poke bowls, so that may also be on my list for next time!

Panlasa was a pleasant surprise during my visit to the Chicago French Market. I was walking around…read morelooking at all the different food stalls when one of the employees offered me a sample of the chicken adobo. It was so flavorful that I immediately decided to order the adobo bowl. The bowl came with chicken adobo, rice, and a choice of side. I chose the mac salad. The chicken adobo was delicious--tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. The mac salad was just okay, but it paired well enough with everything else. The employee who helped me was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy talking with customers. That kind of service really stood out and made the experience even better. It was a little more expensive than I would normally expect for a food stall, but the pricing was pretty consistent with the other vendors inside the French Market. If you're visiting the French Market (especially if you're coming through Ogilvie Transportation Center or looking for a quick meal downtown), Panlasa is definitely worth considering. There are lots of food options in the market, and I'm glad I ended up here.

My wife and I were out scootering around the city and it became that time to choose a lunch spot…read more My wife has a weakness for ramen and I knew exactly where I wanted to take her. We've done it all, Ramen-San, Hi-Five Ramen, Kyuramen x TBaar, and Akahoshi Ramen. Now Mammoth Poke and Ramen was on our target list. I've heard good things about Mammoth from friends and we're here now. This spot is a bit different from all the other ramen joints as it serves poke as well but I like it. It's different. We get up and order and tell them we want to get the spicy garlic edamame and spicy garlic ramen. If you are a garlic lover like we are, then this is the spot for you! We place our order and sit outside as it was such a beautiful summer day. Service was quick and fast. +1 star for that. We first start out with the spicy garlic edamame and it's got a great chili kick and crunchy garlic flavor. Very good app. Highly recommended. I consider us ramen sluts. We love ramen and will travel near and far for it. Just get it into our bodies. I break my ramen review into four separate parts, first, I start with the broth. If you don't have good broth then you don't have good ramen. It's one of the most important parts to a bowl of yummy ramen. And Mommoth Ramen does not disappoint. The flavor profile is full of deep rich flavor with that spicy garlic. *Ooooffff* It's so good. Bravo! Next up are the noodles and they are good. Bouncy texture with a bit of chewiness. Yummmy. Then comes the protein, the chasu and my wife said it was too tender for her liking. It was basically falling apart picking it up with chopsticks. To her it was like eating fat which she doesn't like but for me, I could drink my chasu. Make it tender and delicious. I loved it and enjoyed it. Last were the toppings like the eggs, green onions, sea-weed and bamboo pieces. All were good. It was a damn good bowl of ramen and like I previously stated if you love garlic then this is the bowl and app for you. I'm glad we tried it and every ramen joint has their own unique spin. Congrats Mammoth Poke and Ramen, you guys deliver a damn good bowl of noodle soup and earned your 5 star Yelp review. Keep up the great job and we'll be back!

It was very much between lunch and dinner time, so the restaurant was completely empty inside. My friend and I perused the menu board and eventually each decided to get a regular sized build-your-own bowl. In my poke bowl, I got spicy tuna, salmon, and scallop as the proteins and purple rice as the base. I really appreciate them allowing three different protein choices, variety is great! I then got an assortment of other toppings, including my favorites, fish roe and imitation crab. Everything tasted very fresh as expected, though I think in the future I'd rather get a 2nd portion of scallop instead of spicy tuna (just a personal preference). My friend dined outside the restaurant on the sidewalk since it was a nice day, and interestingly some birds came by and basically begged for food. The price is super reasonable for the quality and portions and I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. More likely though, I'll order delivery again from them first!

The only thing is I would like the food to be covered and gloves to use to provide protection from all the hands who touch the tongs. But other than that it's really nice to have choices of which lean or fatty meat you want. They have s'mores too! And individually packaged ice cream. Nice. You can do the combo for hot pot plus barbecue for $40 or individually. It's $37 per person. All you can eat. So having the hot pot and barbecue combination sounds like a great deal if you're really hungry. Oh and I love it that hey change the grill so many times like 8 or so.

We got the pork katsu, shrimp, and fried chicken plates. The katsu was very crispy and paired well with a nice tangy sauce. The shrimp was banging and paired so well with the lemon and rice. And lastly, the fried chicken (chicken karaage) was so crispy and juicy but had such good flavor to it. The rice and mac paired so well with the proteins too. The service was nice; they have a kiosk where you order all your food and then a robot brings your food to the table. The ambiance had a nice Hawaiian decor to it and was full of color. Additionally, there's a decent amount of seating if you want to eat there. I'd definitely come back again and give this place a try.

Everyone was happy with their food and compared it to another well known Hawaiian place in the city - but here with better prices! We had plenty leftover for our party of 3 and pretty much could fill up 1 container! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items!
