First off, bucket list restaurant for me! Second, sucker…read morefor pastrami and was so excited to finally get to eat it here! Have had it before but it was packaged and sold through a food distributor to a local restaurant where I'm from at one point and never did disappoint! Walked into this iconic restaurant ready to eat some of their pastrami and could not have been more excited!!!! Free parking in the back lot behind the restaurant is a huge plus to this space that is massive because parking in Chicago is an expensive nightmare! The pastrami was delicious and quite massive for the price! My only complaint would be that I wish the whole Navels were hot and slice fresh to order, but this is a super, old school Deli that knows their business and I see why they won't reinvent the wheel on that one. My date had the roast beef and it was super rare. The staff were more than accommodating and ready to answer all your questions and make sure you are happy. Place is massive and had a market off to the side which is really awesome if you want to get something to go! Definitely would Go back in a heartbeat!

A word of warning tho Remember the old saying , you get what you pay for ! You may suffer sticker shock but it's well worth it. Me and my family have been coming here for many years and will always be loyal. And some info. If you put in mannys in gps it's going to tell you mannys has gone out of business.

My wife and I were craving noodle soup but didn't want to have to travel all the way to China town…read more Fortunately this place was within a 10 minute walk from our hotel so we arrived right when they opened. Upon entry the décor is super modern and sparkling clean. We ended up sharing the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup, the Red Chili Chicken, with a side of String Beans & Pork which were all fantastic! The noodles had the perfect amount of bounce and chew while the soup was incredibly beefy loaded with thick and tender pieces of meat. This 100% hit the spot! But our favorite was for sure the Red Chili Chicken. The batter is super crispy without being too dense. It almost feels like the batter expands into a hardened shell that is great at absorbing all of the chili oil spice along with the Sichuan flavor. Absolutely addicting and also paired well with the string beans and pork. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The food may seem pricey at first, but after you taste the quality it is worth every penny. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu because they are truly masters of their craft. 10/10 would highly recommend!

As soon as you open the door, the smell of delicious food hypnotizes you. It's really hard to…read moredecide what to order because everything looks so good! For starters, we tried the Deep-Fried Pork Belly. It had a crunchy exterior with a dusting of chili powder, while the meat was incredibly tender. It came with a sweet chili dipping sauce that balanced the heat of the chili powder perfectly. I don't have much tolerance for spicy food, but I kept going back for "just one more bite." It was that addictive! For the main course, we tried the Mongolian Beef paired with Egg Fried Rice. The beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, and the vegetables had a nice bite to them--the perfect combination. The egg fried rice had just the right amount of garlic and egg, and it paired beautifully with the beef. I can't forget to mention the service. I felt like I was at my auntie's house--warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared for.

My boyfriend and I split the beef short ribs bento box, Soondubu Kalguksu, and a spicy tuna samgak-gimbap. The samgak-gimbap had a good amount of tuna and the spice hits in the aftertaste. Soondubu Kalguksu: the noodles were so good. We ordered the pork and regular spicy. The broth was spicy (for me) but needed for a cold day. They were generous with their tofu! Short ribs bento box: I liked the variety of side dishes. I recommend this bento box with another dish to get a satisfying fullness With the food court being close to the exit, be sure to bundle up because it can get cold. You order at the register and they will call your order number when ready. You return your tray to the restaurant you ordered from.

Unfortunately, the ramen itself just doesn't hit anymore. ​It's not terrible, but it's definitely not crave-worthy. The broth lacks the deep, complex umami you want in a great bowl of ramen, ending up feeling pretty one-note instead. I was hoping my first underwhelming bowl was just an off night, but after two or three visits with the same mid result, it seems like the quality has genuinely slipped. It's a fun spot to hang out, but the food just isn't hitting the mark like it used to. 3.49 stars.

We (14 of us) were there for a work dinner and had some skeptical colleagues - until the food started to arrive. Everyone almost fell off their chairs over how good. Momo's are dumpling from Nepal/ Northern India. As none of us had these before, we asked the serving team to bring us their favorites and bring a lot. We kept eating and they kept serving more and different. We all thought that everything was fantastic ( even our skeptics). In discussions since our visit, this restaurant is regularly brought up by our team as a wonderful, big surprise choice. I recommend Momo World highly. While it is a bit different, the food is not unusual or strange, other than the dumplings are called Momos.

Full disclosure- it's more of a local bar with local type bar food which is all we wanted but ended up with less than expected. Here is my story Stopped in for a snack and beverage before our river cruise to be welcomed by a friendly worker who took the liberty to rearrange table to accommodate 5 of us. Like i said we were on a time line so we immediately ordered only to have our food sit under the lamp warmers at the kitchen counter. Shame of them. Then, one of our travel buddy's chicken sandwich was HORRIBLE.... If you go here, go for a beverage only which is what they seem to do well with (including bringing water to the table) 3rd star for the comaradarie.... Nuff said. My mommy said if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I wonder.... maybe that's how they got their name of Half Sour
