    I frequent the OG location, so I was really excited when they opened a downtown spot near my office. The food quality is still solid for a fast Korean restaurant, though the meat texture feels a bit tougher compared to the original location. For the price, you get a well-balanced meal with a decent portion. My personal favorite is the zesty chicken and tofu with purple rice. My only issue is the parking - it's almost impossible to find a spot for pickup during the week. I do wish the pickup process could be a bit more streamlined, whether that's quicker handoffs or having orders ready on time instead of keeping people waiting.

    Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon and service was fast. The worker was extremely nice. I made a custom plate with spicy pork, jap chat, Mac salad and purple rice. The spicy pork I felt like was a bit dry and could use a bit more flavor and spice. I do appreciate that they give you a good amount of the protein. However, I loved the jap chae and mac salad. So so good. Hoping to go back and try a different protein. The space inside is a bit small with some seating.

    Quick and casual Korean bowls. Everything was delicious, service was excellent and prices are very reasonable for a huge portion!

    The lunch special.

    Cute, small eatery tucked near downtown and the Eastside. Cheerful servers. I was greeted with an Enthusiastic "HELLO" upon entry. Plentiful food portions!

    A quiet fine dining experience tucked in the Bay View neighborhood…read more Our visit to Sage to celebrate an anniversary dinner was delightful. It's located in the historic White House. And the restaurant embraces that history and weaves it into the dining experience with the decor, heirlooms and anecdotes. The menu changes seasonally. Both seasons that I have seen were small but well-balanced with something to please most palates. We enjoyed the stuffed dates, the carrot curry soup, the salmon and the beef tenderloin. All of them were amazing. Seasoning was subtle to let the flavors of the ingredients shine through. And the cooking and execution was fantastic. Their cocktails are complex and delicious. And the creme brulee dessert was one of the best I've had in the city. The service was good, but this isn't a place you come for a quick bite and run. It's a place to converse, to sip, and enjoy some decadent bites.

Our friends were seated first and were in full sun for about an hour and a half, which wasn't ideal, but they also didn't want to complain. Maybe some shades could be installed? Our server was great and service all around was attentive and prompt. My highlights were the rosemary mocktail and the pistachio blondie.

    We are so grateful to Vier North for helping make my parents' 50th wedding anniversary so special!…read moreThey graciously hosted our family of 35 on Saturday, and everything was wonderful. Bryan, Melissa and the staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and accommodating throughout the process of planning and the day if. They made our large group feel so welcome and helped create a beautiful celebration filled with love, laughter, and wonderful memories. Thank you to the entire Vier North team for going above and beyond. We truly appreciate your hospitality and would highly recommend you for any special occasion!

    My first time at Vier North was during Summerfest, we were there to take the shuttle which I…read moreappreciate because it's the only one in the immediate area. Not like the good old days when the yellow school bus would pick up from several North Ave bars. Alas... As of 2026, you can ride the shuttle if you either a.) buy two drinks or b.) buy a $10 voucher which can be used for food or drink then or another time. Their shuttle goes to Brewer games as well! We got a drink and the bus showed up not too long after, we were the first on the small bus but it quickly filled. I would say don't be like us, give yourself more time to get there in case the shuttle waits for people or traffic is bad by the destination. My only complaint is on the way back from the fest, the driver took the wrong ramp and we were headed to Bayview until the first exit was available. He didn't communicate that to us which was weird. "Oops, sorry everyone" would have been a normal thing to say. At that point we were Vier South instead of Vier North. Recently we came back to use our vouchers for dinner, the plan was fish fries because we're always on the hunt for a good one. The fish pieces were smaller and you get 4 (my photos make it look larger). We joked it's more like cod nuggets, I'd prefer 2 larger pieces with more fish inside. Some of what you saw was batter and not fish so a little deceiving. The fries and coleslaw were good but we didn't like the sweeter tarter sauce. Overall we were very full but for me, I wouldn't get the fish fry again not due to taste but fish fries are expensive everywhere and I prefer more fish and thinner batter. Next time, I'd try a burger. The cloud bread was on my list to try for a long time but it was just okay in my opinion. Their pizza looks good too so I want to try some other items on the menu. The service was fine, I think we came around a shift change so several people helped us. The interior was well done, it looks so much better now and that patio is a great addition. The bar near the bathrooms has a little sitting area that looked chill. They have poker nights and other fun things so check it out!

I got the grilled pork banh mi with a cup of broth (~1/2 quart, $5) with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Sandwich was good, but it wasn't very big for $10. The meat, which was good I was expecting to be pieces of grilled meat, was very sparse and very thin, like bulgogi. The broth was pretty sweet instead of savory and likely already pre-seasoned with hoisin. In terms of service, I had placed my order first. Sandwich with the coffee. My partner said he'll have the same thing. I confirmed to make sure that was also including the ice coffee, and the person that took our order said yes. We waited for a while for our order (highly recommend ordering online, we just saw different prices on their website vs online ordering service, so we thought we'd just wait to order in person), then she forgot our iced coffees. We waited some more. She only brought out one. She said oh sorry, I only rang you up for one. So we waited some more. At that point I thought she would just let us have the coffee on the house, but she did indeed ring us up. We were probably in and out with our to-go order in about 40 minutes. All in all, I'd go back for the iced coffees if I was in the area because they were good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.
