Bill Kim's was perfect because they had gluten free options. We ended up with pork ramen with rice noodles. The food was ready quick and the broth was a little spicy and flavorful.

Has all kinds of noodles. There's a bunch to choose from obviously. A pretty popular option in this hipster market on Fulton. It's on the first floor on the west side of the market. There's often a pretty long line it seems. Annoying but okay. It means this is good stuff. Only bad thing is it gets expensive. The noodles are topped with lots of stuff. It's about $18 for a bowl. Last time got the Veggie Ramen. A bunch of noodles in shoyu broth. That's a broth made from soy. Came with lots of vegetables full of flavor. There was cabbage, cilantro, eggs which I left off, marinated bean sprouts, mushrooms, radish, scallions, and tofu. Filling bowls. It's kind of expensive but these are bowls packed full of stuff. There's even a bowl of ramen that's okay for vegetarians.

Fantastic Find! I feel lucky. I was nearby at the Sec of State Business affairs office, and I…read morewalked Past this on my way to Primark! Wow. Across The street from Morningstar. Excellent find. Stans Donuts and Coffee, who doesn't love Stan's. They make creative and a wonderfully tasting donuts. It's about $3.50 for a gourmet Donut, ok, not bad. Their logo is the best ! So friendly . Over to get a Delicious Roti! It's an Indian Taco, for those whom don't know. You must try it! Bhomi modern Indian grill. Scrumptious beef with a cabbage mix and a lovely chutney with olive oil herb/garlic mix. $8. So good so good. What a wonderful place for a nice lunch. Stan's Donuts and Coffee is open 7a-5p, Closed Sun. The Bhomi , 11-7 basically. Verify hours please to make sure. There was a bar at the entrance to entertain people. Great potential for other businesses. A bbq spot , a traditional taco spot, Don Javi's would fit here well. Maybe a Chi-SHACK and a Happy Chef. Maybe a classy Mr Sub! These are really Chicago classics. It would be great to see these open more now Covid is over ! Get people out to enjoy more and see what life is like .

Have any of you amazing, wonderful, and lovely humans seen my review for Sterling Food Hall…read more(formerly Revival). In said review, I docked them a star for a disproportionate number of spots having sandwiches by any other name. I even went into Excel and made a pie-chart (true to form as a man in finance!) With Washington Hall, I could create a pie chart, but I don't see a reason to. Their offerings are still growing, but even with what's available now, the selection is awesome. Just going from memory, there is Indian, pizza, wings, hot dogs, Latin-American, Greek, and a Stan's Donuts (and probably a few I missed). The hall, including the restrooms are clean, and there is ample seating, plus more upstairs. The vibe is open and airy. Not as pretty or unique as Sterling, but I'm not really complaining - as long as it's clean and not depressing, I don't care that much. I am looking forward to making my way through trying all the spots within, and giving the bar a go when it opens. Hopefully most of the food vendors will be open in the evening.

I decided to tried Workout Rice inside and honestly it took me a minute to even decide what to eat…read more So many good options around. The place itself is kinda hectic and yeah, the wait was a bit long, but once the food came out I forgot about that pretty fast. I ordered the Gyudon with domestic wagyu. Came with miso soup, yellow radish, and pickled cabbage. First bite, incredible... The beef was insanely flavorful. Super tender, almost melting. You get that rich fatty wagyu taste, but it's balanced by this savory-sweet sauce that soaks into the rice underneath. Every bite had juice and flavor, the onions and sauce just wrapped around the meat perfectly. I kept telling myself I'd slow down but suddenly the bowl was empty. Portion was solid. Felt filling without being heavy. The staff was really nice, and I liked that you can actually see the food before ordering. The neon market vibe almost makes you forget you're in Chicago for a second. I'm definitely coming back for that beef again.

I heard great things about this spot and it delivered. I wish I had also tried the Hainan chicken…read morerice, since this dish isn't easy to find in the Chicago area. I ordered from the kiosk and the domestic wagyu donburi was delicious. Although the portion size doesn't look enormous, this is packed full of rice with a generous amount of beef. The beef brisket texture was fairly good, but the flavor was excellent with just the right amount of sweetness and saltiness in a sauce full of umami. The sliced wagyu beef was even better, perfectly tender and flavorful. Surprisingly the miso soup was full of flavor, and went great with the toasted garlic, pickle radish, pickle cabbage, and tamago. Despite being sides, these were all done very well. Overall, worth coming here for the delicious wagyu donburi. You get a generous sized portion that's delicious and very reasonably priced.

The Water Tower Place has a few stores (literally): Akira, Lego, Adidas, American Girl . . . and…read moresome others. The mall, if you can call it a mall is desolate. Some levels have no stores. Other levels have 2-3, maybe 4 stores. There is an Asian-inspired food place on the lobby level (I didn't try it). Te'amo, a well-known tea spot is located on level 2. The Hershey store is located on the lobby level as well (separate entrance). Te'amo - Waited about 5 minutes before an employee appear from the back to prepare my order that I placed through the kiosk. The tea was decent. The employees in Akira and the Lego Store was excellent. I was greeted immediately and offered assistance. Even some small talk about what brought me in and offering their name and future assistance if required. For me, there is no excitement to return. Hard pass next time I am in Chicago. The highlight was the Lego store which is what drew me to the Water Tower originally. I am Lego geek. This place reminds me of old Route 66 in the Cars movie #dead.
