Got some sweet ass treats from this bakery in Mundelein. It has quite a few things to get including custom orders for parties. Nana's main specialty is rum cakes, with many flavors of these. Also just come in and get something at breakfast or at lunch. There's things like coffee and zucchini bread among the menu offerings. Cool little bakery. It's pretty unassuming, but the product is not. The main thing is the rum cakes, which is just one of the treats. Comes in a few flavors. The rest of the menu features other baked items. It's about $3 for coffee. This stuff is pretty basic, so just get it to go with a cake or pastry. It's about $7 for a loaf of the zucchini bread. This has a few vegan friendly flavors interestingly. For sure it's a pretty good local bakery, where they bake things fresh. It's closed Sundays and Mondays. The zucchini bread has a few flavors okay for vegans, so they have everyone covered it seems.

Very good, fresh cakes. Service was excellent and ambience is casual. We were given samples and ended purchasing 8 cakes. I brought 6 frozen cakes home to Texas. I recommend trying them out. I understand that their soups are very good too. Definitely coming back to try other items.

How much are the Pina Colada rum cake balls?

The pastry cabinets are filled with all types of yummy goodness. But wait, what if I want breakfast and I am gluten free. According to the menu, they have a gluten free toast. That being said, I highly suspect contamination is a challenge in here. I sat down and was promptly met with what I believe was the owner. She helped clarify some questions I had like is the Swiss cheese on the Paris Special, American Swiss or Emmental since Swiss cheese is only an American thing. It is American Swiss for those asking. When in Rome I guess. The Paris Special is diced ham, eggs, and Swiss cheese on a croissant. I also ordered the diced potatoes with onion. The sandwich was good. Eggs were cooked perfectly, ham was diced out of a bag by the texture of it... it was fine. The croissant was very buttery, but I felt it was so buttery, it lost some exterior texture a fresh croissant may have. The potatoes were very tasty, but were dripping in oil on the plate. One thing that seemed to surprise me was me was the unsweetened iced tea. I felt it had black currant in it. That was lovely! Overall, this place is good. The price was not so great. But it is definitely cheaper than a trip to Paris.

Bibimbap - $11.99 * Extra protein: $2.50 * Egg: $0.95 I'll give them credit for being generous with the protein! For an additional $2.50, they definitely hook you up with a good amount and the overall portion size was decent. However, the taste was a HUGE disappointment. There was soy sauce sitting at the bottom of the bowl, which I didn't realize until I started mixing everything together. It made the entire dish way too salty for my liking. On top of that, I kept tasting something unusual and realized they had added a bunch of finely chopped celery. I've had plenty of bibimbap and celery is definitely not something I expected or enjoyed in this dish. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my meal. Tteokbokki - $8.50 We also ordered tteokbokki as an appetizer. The flavor was actually pretty good, but the portion was VERY small for $8.50. Definitely disappointing considering the price. Kimchi Pancakes - $9.49 Another disappointment! For $9.49, we received only FOUR small pieces. The portion was underwhelming and I could barely taste the kimchi. To make matters worse, they even charge extra if you want kimchi. Overall Experience: DISAPPOINTING While the bibimbap had a decent portion of protein and the tteokbokki tasted good, the overall flavors, small appetizer portions and prices left much to be desired. We love Korean food and have tried plenty of Korean restaurants, so we definitely had higher expectations. Would we return??? ABSOLUTELY NOT! We'll happily stick with Blue House and So Gong Dong whenever we're craving Korean food. Unfortunately, this place just wasn't for us!

Lunch specials are very reasonable and include soup and (in my opinion, totally unnecessary) two small crab Rangoon. I'm a fan of the Pad Prik Khing, and Lovely Wife likes to order their cashew nut with chicken. You can order Hot or Thai Hot (or more mild). The regular hot is already pretty spicy. A pickup fave, for sure.

Really great feeling when many local eats are more on the dark side. We started with the Crab Rangoon. Despite there being very little if any crab, these were really tasty. Crispy and hot, they had a lot of flavor. For Entrees, we had the Deluxe vegetables with chicken and Roasted Duck. The vegetables with chicken was a decent portion and was very flavorful. Chicken was thinly sliced and fresh. A very good dish. The roasted duck was a little drier but still good. I asked for it on the hot side, and they didn't disappoint. Wasn't too hot either. Service was really good. Food was fresh. A really great dinner. All in all, we will be back. I'd give it 4.5 stars due what seemed like little or no crab. But definitely worth your trying this place.

This was surprising, because they had few tables occupied, so not sure why the drink didn't arrive while still fresh . We then continued with our favorite beet salad, which was the only thing good of the night. We ordered two dinners, the lamb chops and skirt steak; both were lukewarm warm. The skirt steak tasted boiled/wet and had a broken sauce. The lamb was also wet instead of broiled; vast difference from prior visits. Our meals came with soup or salad, however this time they said the french onion was not gluten free, which is odd because they simply did not put the bread before broiling the cheese. I ended up with the weird combination of butternut squash mushroom soup that just tasted like cream and looked highly unappetizing. To make matters worse, our side of brussels sprouts were doused in mustard, very different from the picture online. Our meals overall, despite them NOT being busy, did not taste fresh, lacked flavor, and care. Total for 2 drinks, the beet salad, two entries, and one veg side was $224 and change. With a loud argument with the waiter/chef/manager and a guest at another table (awkward) along with our terrible food, we will not be back. 2 stars because it was so good these last few visits. Hopefully they get themselves together and save their business.

This place is just *chefs kiss* I've been here numerous times and the customer service is always A1. Depending on if you are here for lunch or dinner can affect how fast your service is but one thing is for sure; you will always be taken cared of. I've ordered in house and for take out and my orders have never been messed up. The interior is cute, a bit small but it can fit a good number of people there. The employees are nice and fast with their service. My go to order is a regular eye round and brisket pho alongside a side of fresh shrimp egg rolls. The pho portion is huge, lots of good condiments including fresh lime, bean sprouts, fresh basil and extra chili oil. The noodles are tender and plentiful and the broth is super hot, flavorful with tender brisket and eye round steak that is tender. It's always really, really good. The shrimp egg rolls are always fresh and just refreshing when I bite into it. The shrimp is large and juicy and the veggies are fresh and crunchy. It's never a miss when I ordered this. You get two large rolls but they can easily be halved and split if you're with a bigger party. In summary, this place is tasty, refreshing and yummy! I would highly recommend this for those of you fellow Pho lovers out there! This place is great and the price is reasonable.
