We ordered the Chinese Style Family Dinner for 10 (B), which included Crab Meat Fish Maw Soup, Shrimp & Scallops with Cashew Nuts, Double Lobster with Ginger & Onion, Whole Crispy Chicken, Salt & Pepper Shrimp with Shell On, Pea Tip in Broth, Salt & Pepper Japanese Tofu, Yang Chow Fried Rice with Preserved Meat, and Steamed Fresh Fish. We also added the Sweet & Sour Pork Chop. Every dish was a good size, and everyone at the table enjoyed the food. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants in Chinatown, and honestly, this place is better than many of them. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. This is definitely a great spot for big groups and family dinners. I'll definitely be back!

Well my to go order and taste buds state otherwise. She then suggested to microwave my rice to cook them. Wow... The taste is very over powering and can only eat if I pick out each onion which is in every bite. Waste of money and will not be going back. Hopefully someone does not have this issue.

This was me and my boyfriend's first time experience having Japanese barbeque on a charcoal grill…read more we had to call ahead to make a reservation but upon arrival, I realize we might not have needed it because it wasn't too busy, even on a Saturday night we ordered: -- steak tartar: 10/10 this was a simple appetizer but executed perfectly. the meat was tender and the dish was so flavorful (hope to try their handmade dumplings next time) -- we also ordered the beef tongue, japanese kalbi and japanese bulgogi (we enjoyed all of these) if you end up ordering bulgogi, keep in mind that due to the marinade, it ends up falling apart easily and getting stuck on the grill. we found the best strategy is to roll the meat up, and then unroll it onto the grill to avoid it falling apart as easily besides the meat, I was impressed by how well executed the banchan was too. I typically don't like kimchi but their kimchi tasted so fresh and didn't have an overly fermented taste the way kimchi typically does even their rice was perfectly cooked (you can taste every grain of rice because of how al dente it was) in regards to service, the owner was really sweet and came in to check in with us and presented us with dessert -- I can tell there is a lot of intention and care behind the quality of food at his restaurant I think if I were to give some feedback though, it would've been nice if the wait staff had asked if we had experience with a charcoal grill when we first sat down. it was our first time using a charcoal grill and there is a small learning curve using it -- the center heats up quickly and because of that, we ended up overcooking our first plate of meat. we learned to cook the thinner cuts of meat closer to the outer edge of the grill and to flip the meat more frequently to control cook time better. I imagine we can't be the only couple who struggled using the charcoal grill at first so having some tips from wait staff beforehand or even a short demo would've been appreciated :-) but of course now my boyfriend and I know now for next time

Came here with a group of friends and our kids. We were seated right away but were not given menus…read more We had to get up and grab menus ourselves. I ordered the bun bo hue (beef, pork sausage, pork knuckles, and vermicelli noodles) while hubby had the bun nem nuong cha gio (grilled pork meatball vermicelli noodle salad bowl) and asked for extra noodles to share with our child. They forgot to bring out the extra noodles and had to ask multiple times for them. All of our dishes came out at various times. There was about a 30-40 minute gap between when the first dish and the last person's dish was served. They forgot to bring out a pho tai (which shouldn't take that long to prepare) and got one of our friend's orders mixed up. We literally asked at least 3-5 times for these two missing dishes and the kids in our group were super hungry. I enjoyed the flavor of my bun bo hue but wouldn't endure this lack of service again in the future.

No one came to take our orders until like 10 min later as well and the lady who took our order was not nice at all. Being Vietnamese this seemed very rude and service was horrible. Overall, expect to be wait during times that are busy. The plate of vegetables was not what I expected just a jumble of bean sprouts and lettuce and no mint or nothing at all. We ordered the Banh xeo or Vietnamese crepe which was good and the bun Bo hue which was so filled with flavors and really good. The spring rolls were good as well. You need to pay at the front if you don't want to wait too long but they should at least put a sign saying please seat yourself or something.

We always get a random assortment of dimsum, so you can't go wrong with anything. Also, pro tip, order the tea, it's only $2 for a whole kettle and pairs so well with the dimsum! The shrimp and chive pan fried square potsticker was our favorite tho! The steamed shrimp dumpling was immaculate as well! The eggrolls are so yummy. I didn't get a picture of the sesame balls but they were so hot, fresh and delicious. Everything seems homemade here down to the very dough and filling. The service is always nice here and the food is fresh! Come for a good time, chill ambiance, and great dimsum!!

Dim sum galore! Chicago daughter and I were looking for something interesting for breakfast/lunch -…read morebut didn't want brunch. We landed on dim sum and found ourselves at Furama. Setting the stage: It was 11:00 am or so on a Saturday. The bigger room up front was closed off for an event so we were directed to the back room. I'm not gonna lie: it gave off vintage high school cafeteria or church bingo vibes, with the vinyl floor and basic 1950s tables covered with layers of disposable paper/plastic table covers. We and 2 other groups sat at 3 of 20 or so tables. There was no wait for the goodies: carts immediately came our way before we even had our coats off. We chose 4-5 things from 4 different carts before waving off carts so we could settle in, have a sip of oolong tea and ready our chop sticks. The aging decor ("vintage") had me worried but the dim sum was good. In all, we had pork buns, sui mai, shrimp balls, chow fun, taro dumplings, cucumbers, eggs tarts, crab rangoons - all delicious! It was a lot but we wanted to taste so many things! I wouldn't call it gourmet quality but it was solid, standard dim sum. What elevated this to 4 stars was the service: super pleasant servers wheeling the carts around and keeping our water glasses filled. They were prompt and watching if we wanted another cart to come around. After that first rush, they were not pushy just showing their wares and then letting us enjoy them. Seems like a popular place because the tables were filled up by the time we left. It's upstairs (elevator if you want it). We found street parking but there is a private lot next door that you can get stamped for. Give it a try!

I hadn't tried this place in years but I was willing to check it out again with family. Sure, the…read moreportions are large and can be split but the food is really mediocre. We ordered the popcorn chicken (half original, half spicy, $27) and the dolsot bibimbop ($25). My BIL had said that the popcorn chicken was really good at least a year ago, but things must've changed! The popcorn chicken was dry and stodgy, low quality with flavorless breading. Then I found a big piece of bone in the chicken and when I brought it up politely to the waitress, she just said that the chicken came like that, and essentially said that it wasn't really cut in-house and was packaged when they got it. Huh? No wonder it's not good--they don't even care about the quality and just buy some bland prepackaged fried chicken. No offer to replace the dish or even a small discount or anything, despite the fact that I've never known any place to have "popcorn chicken" that included bones. Anyway, the folks I was with also said it was not as good as it used to be and the portion sizes were smaller. Bibimbop was fine--a lot of rice and had to ask for more gochujang sauce to have more flavor. Not much bulgogi in it. As another reviewer mentioned, there's a 20% auto gratuity, which I don't think is deserved. I wanted to enjoy it but it's overpriced for low-quality food and there's definitely WAY better Korean food out there.
