The potato croquettes were fresh and crisp and perfect for picky eaters. The beef udon was great too! Usually this is where I'd try and make some small bit or joke, but after I finished all I could think was "Man...that was good." So I guess you could say it left me speechless and pleasantly surprised. (shout out to our waitress who was super kind and indulged in conversing about BTS for five minutes)

We recently stopped in to Nomu on our first night of a family vacation, and had a lovely supper!…read more The restaurant was conveniently located in Glenview, and had plenty of parking outside, even though we were there during primetime on a Saturday night! The dining room is really pretty, and well-appointed! We were seated right away by friendly staff. Looking around, this appeared to be a very family-friendly establishment, as that was, by far, the most prominent type of connoisseur in the house on this evening! Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me! Prices were just about as you'd expect: not too high, but not super cheap either...but wholly justified by the great food and lovely service and experience!

Gathered for our monthly Chew Crew dinner…read more We enjoyed the corn with cheese, beef bulgigi, another beef dish but can't remember what it was called (with beans, sprouts),the fried chicken, which was delicious and crunchy, and finished up with a delicious take on halo halo which had strawberry shaved ice and a ton of toppings. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought the birthday boy a Moon pie with chocolate sauce and a sparkler. It was very sweet of them to l celebrate with us. A couple of folks in our party had a few drinks. They also said those were good. It said karaoke, but no one was doing karaoke and we were so busy eating, we forgot to ask about it. Service was very good. The wait staff checked in on us often. I really loved that the tables had a little drawer that had all the utensils and napkins that we would need throughout the dinner. Fun place to have a dinner with friends.

We came on a Sunday evening for an early dinner with a large group (~20 people) and squeezed into…read more~4 tables. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected and filled up quickly. Our group shared the following: popcorn chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, fried eggs with Spam, corn cheese, truffle French fries, seafood pancake, bossam (pork belly, shrimp paste, lettuce wrap), rose tteokbokki, steamed egg souffle with cheese, spam and kimchi fried rice, station noodles (beef broth, veggies), and strawberry bingsoo. My favorite of the night was the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was perfectly chewy and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The popcorn chicken was also good and paired well with the sauce it came with. The bossam was on the dry side and the seafood pancake was pretty standard. The fries were good but wouldn't pay $10 for a basket of fries if we came back next time. The corn cheese was also good but the plate was small. There was a call button at each table which was convenient. Food came out individually as it was ready instead of all at once which was to be expected for our party size.

European deli sandwiches with quality ingredients and generous portions on fresh baked bread…read more It's so obvious, DeLishka is delicious! Though a bit obscure and hard to find, those who want a good sandwich know where to go. There is a curated selection of Italian, French and German sandwiches. This was my first visit so ordered a Cipriani with Italian mortadella, marscapone(!), arugula, pistachios and balsamic. It was the marscapone that sold me, but this was generously portioned and (let's be honest) messy for me to eat because the sandwich was piled high. I had to take half to go. I heard a few orders for the Gusti dal Nord (prosciutto, Gorgonzola, arugula and pear), and that sounds enticing as well. The bread is fresh and crusty. They had a tomato soup the day I was there, and I read on the website that they have pierogato -- Eastern European dumplings.

Overall, I'll stick with tonkatsu next time.

Even though most of the tables were filled, the place still wasn't very loud. I ordered the special BLT sandwich, with a side salad. The description says that there is crispy bacon, but unfortunately it was not crispy at all. Instead, it was soft and a bit oily. Overall, the flavor of the sandwich tasted good, though. I appreciate that instead of fries, I could get a side salad with it. And the side salad was amazing! Their ranch is also delicious.

One of the best things? Their rice comes cooking in the stone pots as well as the stews, which makes it perfectly cooked with just the right chew. The tea comes in thermos jugs that keep tea hot. Side dishes are always refilled at request. We felt very well fed dining here. Entire place very clean. No wonder family travels for more than half hour to get here when there are other places closer...food and service are just outstanding.

I loved that you can customize the seasoning yourself with the provided salt and green onions, allowing you to get the flavor just right. The soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful without being overly fatty or greasy.

Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try the beef ribs next time. If you're looking for hearty, authentic Korean comfort food, Claypot is absolutely worth a visit.

It leaned more salty and was missing that deep, beefy richness that I usually associate with a good galbitang.

It's a jazzed up Italian beef it came with their special house sauce, Swiss cheese, pickles, grilled onions and more. This is a small spot that also does the long party subs and catering.
