If you are looking for a fun restaurant to enjoy a good burger or steak I recommend visiting at…read moreleast once. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the atmosphere is great. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was kind and welcoming. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a wagyu sirloin that had a red wine reduction, crispy onions, potato gratin and garlic green beans. We also ordered two kids trays which were priced very fair at $9 for the options and amount of food received. Our kids had the fried chicken tenders, grilled steak and picked sides of fries, mashed potatoes and fruit. The kids trays also came with drinks. Since this was a birthday celebration or server did make it special by brining a sweet treat and candle and even discounted my meal! Some things to think about when planning a visit: The restaurant is very loud. Make a reservation! It is popular. Plan parking! The area is full of great restaurants so parking is tough. Paid parking areas are available but limited.

I visited Grand Rapids for business, went here in a Tuesday afternoon and place was busy! I was sat…read moreat the bar though right away. First had an old fashioned. I thought an old fashioned was an old fashioned, but this one was delicious and available for happy hour, can't beat that! Then at the bartenders recommendation, I had the meatballs for appetizer and the hangar steak for entree. First, the meatballs, very good, I'd give it a 4/5 minimum. Portion was very respectable, meant for a shareable appetizer but it was just me lol. The ricotta is a delicious touch. Then the hangar steak. It's the best steak I can remember having in a long time, and on a relatively inexpensive cut such as a hangar. I just can't express enough how impressed I was with it. And I'm not a sauce with steak type but the aioli just completes it so well. 5/5, and I'm pretty picky. If I come back to Grand Rapids I will visit here at least once.

We came in on Saturday night, 7/25/26 around 5:30pm before going to a concert at Acrisure. We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

I saw a lot of good reviews for it and needed to try it for myself. I would definitely order it again and maybe even try the other flavor, seafood. I ordered the hot stone bibimbap with chicken. I know that beef is traditionally the protein on top. But I loved that they gave chicken as an option. It was delicious. The hot stone dish did its job and made the rice a little crispy. Overall, this was a very good dish. I have had this dish many times and at many different places - this one ranks up there with some of the best. The variety of banchan that came with it made the meal even better. Everything was fresh and flavorful. For dessert, I had to try the fish shaped ice cream with red bean paste. It was definitely something I would eat again. The outside of dessert tasted like an ice cream cone. Inside tasted like a jam with vanilla ice cream. Just what I needed for such a hot day. I would highly recommend this Korean restaurant! There is plenty of parking. There is not a ton of seating inside but it was not too busy when we came.

Overall, I am glad Haludam exists and I'm happy to support this restaurant!…read more It's conveniently located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is small but very clean and quaint and well decorated. Nice bathrooms. Females side had a changing table and thoughtful feminine products. The service here was lacking. There was one male and two females. The male was super friendly and nice. One female was super sweet but hard to hear. The other female seemed to be in a bad mood, I think. With that said, everyone was working really hard and extremely busy. A bit too busy. Even for a small establishment, it was hard to get a wait staffs attention to get seated, order food, get the food itself, get our bills, or get take out containers. Our waters sat empty and were never refilled. We had to essentially call for one of the females and drag them away from a task in order to...order our food, or get our bill, for example. The place was indeed busy on a Saturday night and there were some large parties. And they were definitely hustling. I just recommend patience and not being in a rush here. The food was good! Slightly overpriced but we were happy with the quality. We got a seafood pancake, spicy pork, bulgogi, hot stone bibimbop, and a beef rib soup. The banchans were unique and tasted fresh. Overall we would come back again and think it's worth it and happy to support. Just don't be in a rush when you come and it'll be fine.

Although parking can be confusing for your first time going. I love their Bao appetizer. The Bento box is worth getting for the money, I think it gives the best variety of options, it's great! The spicy yaki udon is good too, but definitely spicy and better with soy sauce. Give this place a try!

I cannot believe I never wrote a review for Otono because it's easily my favorite coffee shop in…read moreGR. I've been going since late 2022/early 2023, back when they were just a vintage shop (with a cute cat) at their old spot further down Division. I first came across them at a market and bought a shirt (still probably my favorite shirt in my collection) but at the time they were pretty under the radar, so I forgot the name. Almost a year later, an old friend complimented that same shirt, which led to me telling the whole story. I was like, "all I remember is they sold spoon rings," and said friend immediately goes, "sounds like Otono on Division." Ofc I went there that weekend, and sure enough, that was them. Been a fan ever since. At this point, a good chunk of my wardrobe is from them. It's been really cool seeing how much they've grown and evolved, especially with the addition of the café. I think it's such a hit and fits their vibe perfectly. The owners are also super personable and the staff are always kind. I added a few pics from past visits, but I definitely recommend checking them out. And if you get lucky, they sometimes have cookies and other treats from Cou Cou Bakehouse when there are leftovers from her pop-ups!

I've had my fair share of ramen, flavor wise this was top-tier. I ordered the chicken ramen, the chicken was crispy and broth was flavorful. The edamame was yummy as well. The reason I'm giving 3.5.. the price. All proteins are add ons, an egg is $4. I've never ordered ramen that didn't come with an egg. Your ramen bowl becomes pretty pricy once you add your protein and egg. The value didn't seem worth it in this case.

Some of the best food in the area and definitely the best katsu I've had in Michigan…read more Prices are a little punchy, but portions are generous. Can't go wrong with the katsu, budadon, or their gimbap (which is more like a mini burrito). Their salad (which is really just super clean lettuce) + black sesame seed dressing is the surprise hitter in the bunch. Pretty low key dining - order first then grab your number / seat, and they'll bring your food out. Would recommend (and fully expect to go back). Parking is a little tight - some street parking right out front but you may have to park around the corner and walk in.

When you're done, leave all your plates and things on your table and return the number to the front area, and they'll know you're done and go clear the table. They also have self serve water and will give you a cup when you order!

The pistachio syrup was legit - there were actual pistachio chunks and no fake pistachio extract flavor. i definitely would have preferred my drink sweeter though. i was also impressed by the drink to ice ratio. so many iced drinks are mostly ice but this matcha was FULL and not overly diluted with milk. i really enjoyed the flavor of the matcha itself as well. my partner said he'd give his latte a 9.1 out of 10. unfortunately there do not seem to be any vegan food options so it will be drinks only for us.
