They have a little loft which would be great for get togethers and gatherings, wish there was a place like that here too. The cold noodles and galbi were really good haven't had such good noodles in a while which is very odd with all the options we have here in SoCal. Anways, these noodles really hit the spot. Even better if you have it with soju. :) It definitely will be my place to go back to when in the area and would recommend. Oh and almost forgot to mention the ramen bar that was absolutely legit, you people there are definitely spoiled we pay like $20 dollars for just the ramen and some toppings here, but to have it included in the ayce bbq that itself is a major plus.

Every time I go for kbbq I base it off of the banchan before the meats. The banchan was disappointing as the quality was inconsistent especially with the kimchi. The rice was harder than a rock, and if you think about making a ssam wrap please try to stay away. I'm not sure if they even washed the lettuce prior but it was just nasty. The fish cakes were lacking in flavor and whatever sesame oil they provided does not taste like true sesame oil. I have to wonder if they have tried their own marinade/ preseasoned meats as all of them lacked salt. I'm rather disappointed in this spot as this had been on my go-to list for a while. Update: Do not go here if you want food poisoning!!! Do not eat the lettuce!

There was a menu that we got- mind you there are no pictures on the menu, so you would probably have to read descriptions or figure out what dishes were if you were not familiar with Korean food. We ordered a variety of dishes to share for our party of 3. We ordered the seafood pancake, bossam, garlic wings and the budae hot pot. It was plenty of dishes for the three of us to try. The seafood pancake was good and prepared perfectly with lots of filling. The bossam was cooked well too and came with a big plate of toppings and sides to go with it, all of which were good. The garlic wings was not very much like Korean fried chicken but more had like just an Asian taste to it. The skin was not super crispy and cooked like typical KFC. Though still decent taste. Also came with some fries and some deep fried duk. The budae hot pot was large and shareable. The ramen came already cooked in the pot rather than sitting on top uncooked. The dish was not as spicy as thought, which was nice. Lots of meats and stuff inside. Overall a great meal here.

There are restaurants where you go for dinner, and there are restaurants where you suddenly realize…read morethe P.O.A. Index is other worldly. New Village Gastro Pub is the second kind. The place is crawling with attractive people. Hot Asian women, hot white yuppies, groups of people dressed like they're either heading to a rooftop bar afterward or quietly ruining somebody's marriage. Whatever demographic algorithm they're running in Wheeling, it is producing statistically irresponsible results. Then I discovered the button. There is a button on the table that summons the waitress. A button. Dangerous! For centuries, men had to make eye contact, raise a hand, or sit there dehydrating while pretending not to be annoyed. New Village has eliminated all that with one glowing little piece of technology. Press button. Hot waitress appears. This is either the future of hospitality or the beginning of the collapse of civilization. Possibly both. And the food is great. Not as good as the scenery. But... good. The kind of food that keeps you ordering more than you intended because somewhere between the second drink and the third plate, financial judgment completely left the building. The whole experience feels like somebody combined a Korean drinking hall, a suburban gastropub, and the Korean Red Light district. Great food. Nuclear P.O.A. Index. Dangerous button. I went in for dinner and left wondering why every restaurant in America doesn't let me summon service like I'm a minor feudal lord.

We checked in a few minutes before our 5:30p reservation and were seated right away -- not many…read morediners, even offered our choice of tables. Menus arrived as we were seated, water arrived shortly after, but no greeting, no server, nothing. Another couple came in after us, got seated, greeted, ordered, and were eating while we still sat completely unacknowledged. After 15 minutes we told the host we were giving up. She looked surprised we hadn't been helped, even though our table was less than 15 feet from the host stand and directly in her line of sight. Most of the time she was lingering near the bar chatting with other employees. No apology -- just 'I'll get a manager.' Several minutes later the manager arrived. We explained what happened, but again no apology, no offer to fix it, no 'please stay, we'll take care of you.' Just 'that shouldn't have happened' and she'd talk to her staff. That's the corporate version of shrugging. We'd trekked a long way from the city only to be let down by basic service not happening at all. This is the kind of failure people don't expect from a group as large and well‑trained as Lettuce, and at this point I'm wondering if I should lower my expectations.

For starters, the vibe feels casual and relaxed here and the drinks are expertly shaken and potent. Our server was wonderfully attentive, helpful and fun, despite being the bar tender that night too. I had the rangoon roll and teriyaki pork tacos. Everything tasted great; perfect presentation, temperatures, and spices to make this a meal worth returning for. I have tried the filet mignon hot rock in the past and it is a fun app to try, at least once. Our only complaint is the walk (Or elevator ride) upstairs to the restrooms. I wish there was one on the first floor. (Admittedly, it is not as easy to navigate after 2 martinis) ha! I will be back for Happy Hour some time, from 3 to 5.

Personally, I would enjoy a little bit of jazz. The food is reminiscent of a European flare. We ordered steak, tartar, chicken liver pate, and the mushroom soup.. All of it was delicious, but the star of the show was a steak tartare. This is a must try, followed by the chicken, liver pate, which was more of a moose than a pate, but nonetheless it was delicious. The GF really enjoyed the mushroom soup The service was excellent as to be expected answered all our questions and even explained a little bit about the type of cuisine that they have at the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try the pierogies and the lamb chops. Check this place out you might like it!

A friend and I went here on a Thursday and it was empty inside. Had to have been a party of 3 old dudes getting ready to leave. You could tell they were regulars. No greeting when you enter and the lady (who I would later learn was the manager), looked like she was on her last straw and nerve. Type of person to be very mean and rude but would say they're not, they're just direct. Mmmmh! Wasn't a clean table in the table and took forever to get a menu and water. When I asked about happy hour that I saw advertised she simply pointed to the menu and said these without recognizing it was the regular drink menu with the regular prices. I simply ordered the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. She swore to heaven that their honey mustard was bomb. I don't think this lady knew her elbow from her wrist. The sauce was ehh. The food itself was good but again it was bar food so I didn't expect much. I wouldn't return or anything. Absolutely not.

I especially loved the kimchi chicken rice, although it was more of a flavorful fried rice with a nice spicy kick. The Bears sushi was also a winner, that thick avocado layer and juicy tempura shrimp were incredible. I also tried the Bento Box D - chicken teriyaki, rice, veggies, California rolls, salad, and tofu soup. The teriyaki was bursting with flavor! Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. The place itself is tiny - only two tables - but the staff were super friendly and attentive. They were really lovely to chat with! One small thing: the guy working there could probably use an apron, as his shirt and pants looked a little food-splattered. And a bit of a clean-up would do wonders - the curtains leading to the kitchen were dusty, and the TVs could use a wipe-down too. Overall, despite the minor cleanliness issues, I would definitely recommend Osaku! The food is incredible, the portions are generous, and the service is great. Give it a try!
