Not only was it decorated SO cute, want to talk about Instagram able this place is it! But the service was amazing as well, our waitress was so personable and easy to talk to. She walked us through all of our questions and even helped me pick out my first Sake! But most importantly... the food. There wasn't a single thing we ordered that wasn't to DIE for. We got the crispy rice, the mozzarella sticks, a sushi roll, the drunken noodles and the chicken katsu Sando. While I could write a dissertation on how amazing this food was I can just say I would drive 7 hours back to Cleveland just to get this food again

I've been here a few times but never for happy hour. I think this is one of the best happy hour…read moreoffers I've seen! Lots of food options (full-size entrees) for great deal prices, and an assortment of drink offers. We had the Spirited Away (very sweet) and Mango Sticky Rice (also very sweet) cocktails with our dinner. While the spirited away was a little too sweet for me, the mango sticky rice was so good and hit the spot. You could definitely taste the sweet rice flavor, and the drink was beautifully crafted. Our food came in huge proportions. I think the fries were my favorite though because the furikake seasoning gave it a special taste. I think they were some of the best fries I've had in a while, honestly. Hosts and servers were great and the food came out very fast. Our server was always making sure she cleared our dishes and that we had everything we needed. 10/10 happy hour!

It has a great vibe while still feeling comfortable and welcoming. The wait staff was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They gave me great direction on the menu, even explaining the best order to enjoy everything, and genuinely made me feel at home. And the food was above incredible. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, full of flavor, and unlike anything I've had before. The bao buns were absolutely amazing. For the quality of the food, atmosphere, and service, the value was fantastic as well. I would add the portions were kinda small and felt more like an appetizer but the taste was amazing I actually walked in thinking I was going to a diner and ended up discovering one of the coolest lunch spots I've been to in a long time. Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don't plan! I'm already looking forward to coming back for dinner and bringing my wife and friends. Highly recommend Abundance!

I have been lucky enough to eat at some amazing restaurants in North America and throughout Europe…read more I really wanted to leave a great review for this local restaurant... I really wanted to. Since a number of our friends have been to this establishment and left great reviews, I really wanted to do the same. I really wanted to. However, I'm struggling to do so. It started with our table not being ready yet, no worries there, we understand. The host took us to a lovely little alcove and sat the four of us down and we were quickly approached by the Sommelier. This establishment obviously takes their wine very seriously, almost to the point of being pretentious. But not all of us are wine drinkers. Due to an allergy to sulfites. When we looked at the list of available mixed drinks, nothing really appealed... So my wife asked for a simple vodka and tonic. She was informed that that was not one of the "APPROVED" drinks that they offered. What !?! They have vodka, they have tonic... Why can't we get what we want? When my friend requested an IPA he was informed that IPAs don't pair well with the food offerings, consequently, they do not have that option. Frankly, shouldn't that be HIS decision what he feels pairs with HIS palette and not the restaurants? Just a bit pretentious. Did I mention I really wanted to write a great review? So we sucked it up and ordered two glasses of overpriced white wine ($18 for a glass of mediocre wine) and two of the "approved" drinks offered. At this point, I'd like to state that the service we received other than the initial pretension exhibited by the wine Sommelier, was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and well trained and the support staff made sure that our water glasses were filled. Thankfully, I can leave a great review with regards to them. Now to the food... the dumpling sampler was delicious. The four of us ordered the ribs, the duck, the beef and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. Honestly, almost all of the dishes were deliciously prepared, albeit a bit modest on the quantity of food presented. Our waiter initially suggested that these could be shared... I'm not sure how we would do that with the smaller plates offered as entrées. My noodles, however, came out as a solid chunk of over microwaved noodles, the kind that you get if you forget to take your Costco ramen out of the microwave in time. It was a solid block of dried out noodles. I was about to call our waiter over and ask that they give it another shot. When out of the corner of my eye I saw my wife giving me "the look", don't make it a thing her eyes said to me. So I took my chopsticks and pried the noodles apart, and tried to mix them with the sauce as best as I could. So to summarize; *A little too pretentious on the whole drink thing. I think they're trying too hard. *Service was great *Three out of four entrees were a success * $17 for a mixed drink is pricey but doable, $18 for mediocre wine not so much. As I mentioned, I really wanted to leave a good review... sadly other than the waiter and the support staff I find it difficult to do. Thank you

A great ramen spot in the University Circle area!…read more I came here for a quick lunch. I got the char siu ramen ($15.50). It came piping hot with plenty of noodles, a decently sized portion of char siu, and lots of kikurage mushrooms and corn. The noodles had a nice chew, the char siu was tender, and the tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful. I slurped up every bit of that soup. The restaurant itself is very no-frills. It looks like it's mostly a takeout place, but they do have a few tables for dine-in customers. Most of the seating consisted of high chairs (not my fave as a vertically challenged person). I will have to come back here in the autumn or winter - I bet the hot ramen will hit the spot even more in cold weather.

Korean-inspired fast casual restaurant chain - think Chipotle but Korean and a bit healthier (still…read morepretty salty though). Been to this locations many times in undergrad and stopped by recently on the way to the library nearby. Over the years, they have made their regular bowl size smaller, introduced a smaller bowl, then also changed the size of that. It seems now that the small and regular bowl is almost minimal difference in terms of what they are scooping, so if you already know the bowl is a lot for you, the smaller bowl may be more worth your money. For base, my go-to is mix of noodles and purple rice. Their noodles are made of sweet potato starch, so my base also happens to be a good gluten-free option. For hot toppings (black beans, curry chickpeas, bean sprouts, potatoes, and broccoli), you can ask for a total of 4, where "extra" of anything counts as 2 of that. So I get extra beans and extra potatoes, which counts as 4. My favorite 2 meats are their steak and korean BBQ. Well flavored, but again, on the saltier side. For cold toppings, they said they didn't have any carrots and I didn't inquire further if I had to wait for that or not, but that may have been due to me coming at opening. So you may be expected to wait if ordering at opening hour. Otherwise, the front staff were nice. It's pretty empty at opening for dining in. Side street parking there is difficult to get, but there is a lot behind it that is free for 30min (turn into E 115th to get there).

What a great find!…read more A casual spot, where you can enjoy great food. We ordered the appetizer pickles and dumplings. Wowzers. The dumplings remind me of a pierogi made with rice flour, which would be the texture of an Asian dumpling. The vegetables and sauce were simple but delicious.

For dessert we had the chocolate cake. Yum !! The service was excellent! Would definitely be back.

The decor was lovely, except for one thing: the hard metal chairs in the dining room. Not sure why they would use these type of chairs does not add any feeling of coziness or comfort to the dining experience and it's a shame because their food deserves better.

The General Tso chicken was a letdown across the board. No heat, barely any sauce, and the lightly steam broccoli came out cold and wet, which made my crispy chicken a soggy lukewarm mess. That's a fundamental execution issue. A friend ordered the ramen and had it worse -- crunchy noodles and a cold soup base. Cold ramen broth isn't a style choice, it's a mistake. Front of house compounded the experience. Slow, visibly uncertain, and in clear need of training. You can tell the staff wants to do well but hasn't been given the tools to get there. That's a management problem. The bones of a decent restaurant are here. Right now the food and service aren't meeting the standard the presentation promises that a mid price Asian pacific restaurant needs to hit.

Although you can hear every single conversation around you, it isn't a bother. Suggestion, play some cool Asian fusion music to enhance the experience. Our servers left something to be desired. The initial interaction with the lady serving bread only knew 3 words...bread, one or two. I wanted to communicate with her, but wearing an outdoor winter vest and her disconnected behavior canceled that attempt. Tyler was our server who we barely saw. I had to ask his name, and thats a pet peeve to start. He never cleared our bread and butter dishes ...also annoying to have dirty dishes in front of me...especially after I pushed them to the edge ... a clear indication to take it away. Now the food. My corn chicken chowder was served hot and creamy. Loved it. The spinach, mushroom and mozarella stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breast perched atop over cooked bok choy... laced atop bacon rice and surrounded by a 5spice seasoning was beautiful BUT overwhelming. The price was cool at $26 , however I doubt ANYONE can eat this serving. It would be better a smaller portion and lesser price. It was seriously enuf food for more than 2 people unless your just a gluten. I wish I had room for dessert because they all look like a work of art! Kudos but also let's be more reasonable. I may give it another try but probably for lunch. I dont eat that much!

This was our first visit to Wild Mango. The room was beautiful and the chairs were comfortable…read more We were seated promptly and received our food promptly. Our server was friendly and asked if our food was alright when we were served. We didn't see her much after that. It seemed she was the only waitperson in the room and we were at the end of her list. I wanted another roll and had to flag down a bus person to ask for it. It arrived after I finished the meal, so I took it home with the leftovers. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. My steak was a little more than medium but still OK. The salads were huge and a shared portion was more than adequate. We split the mango cheesecake for desert. It was beautifully presented and dense, smooth and tasty. All in all, although not perfect, it was a good experience at a fair price.
