The menu here is expansive. Every type of Asian food you can think of. Our first round came out so fast that the fact that we ordered a plethora of food didn’t seem to matter – we were still in and out of there in under an hour. It seems they do a bustling take-out and delivery business but if you get a chance give their outdoor patio a try. It has some charming features including a water feature.
Either it was the rice or the soy sauce but everything we ate had a sweet taste to it.
The service was friendly and accommodating.

Date night! We ordered the tater tots as an appetizer, they were very tasty but also still just tater tots. Fun to eat with chopsticks though! The Thai iced tea was refreshing and not as sweet as other places. I got the widow maker sushi which was black rice, crab, and purple sweet potato – it was ok kinda dry and not super flavorful but still with a unique taste. The other dish was garlic ramen with pork and it was a bit on the salty side and was missing something to bring it all together, otherwise was good. Outdoor seating was nice in the warm summer night. Neighborhood is beautiful!

Cute place to meet up with friends. The lunch noodles were yummy and good portion with a little appetizer as well. The rolls were yummy as well. Nothing spectacular of note, but no complaints either.

we came on for chicago restaurant week and were in for a treat. the tom yum soup was by far my favorite — hot and very lemon grass forward. delicious. the crispy lobster was very very good as well. rainbow sushi was so tender and delicate. overall a good experience. the service was a little off, maybe because we were in the last reservation slot (8:30) so most of the food came out all at once (instead of coursed) which was a little hectic. but i would eat here again

Amazing!!!! We went here for a double date and the menu had something for everyone- fresh sushi, fried tempura, hot bowls of ramen, rice bowls, curry… you name it they got it. Everything was authentic and fresh. The service was wonderful and they had such creative cocktails, like a lychee martini! The mochi board for dessert was so creative and delicious. Everyone was so kind to us and we will definitely be back.

I live close by & always wanted to check this place out. So happy we did & as suspected we are big fans now. Highly recommend making a reservation as this place is packed to the gills on any given night. Even though it feels packed you still have a sense of intimacy and privacy at your table. It’s definitely a place to converse and enjoy your dinner company and keep your phone put away in your pocket. Of course I had to take pics to share but next time I am fully tuning out. The service is a really nice pace, not too much checking in and a lot of time to enjoy your dishes. We went for the Chicago Restaurant Week specials and the menus and price point really blew us away. The decor is simple and cozy and the lighting was divinely dim. They had great little lamps on every table that assist with being able to see the menu without disrupting the ambiance.
The one and only little negative thing I’ll say, and I’ll preface this by sharing that my husband is a professional chef of 20yrs and I’m a seasoned home cook- one dish we ordered tasted like butane so strongly that we couldn’t finish it. What may have happened is the flame torch had incomplete combustion, or if you don’t let the initial burst of gas burn off, you can ruin a dish. I was so excited to try the Richman Rainbow sushi dish and it was absolutely gorgeous when it arrived but we both took a piece and it completely tasted like butane. I tried a second piece to ensure it wasn’t a fluke. I then put the dish up to my nose and it reeked. We left the dish alone and ate the other things that were coming to our table and when we gave our server the feedback it wasn’t well received. We were as nice as possible about it but did want to let them know that there was an issue. We didn’t want free food or a replacement, just to let them know that they may want to adjust their torch. Our server seemed to take it personally which is a shame. I unfortunately tasted butane in my mouth for the rest of the night no matter what I ate.
But, truly, did not ruin our experience at all and we will eat here again. I would just be wary of any dish that highlights being torched in the future.
The regular menu is extensive and we cannot wait to come back and try more! So happy we popped in.
The pictures speak for themselves but I also shared the menus from the special week. And holy schnikeees the berry compote that came with the cheesecake was INSANE. Best I’ve ever had. The Tonkotsu Ramen was top tier, I will be craving that broth for days. Let’s keep this place open! A total treasure. I loved the wood and gold paneling details on the ceiling and walls.

Busy night but we were seated immediately. The specials are awesome. I had a brisket and noodles in curry!

Maki is on the smaller side.
Lots of Thai food options. Pad see eaw was pretty good, and I’ve traveled to Thailand quite a bit.
Decor and ambience are excellent, definitely a woman’s touch with a sharp sense of style and attention to detail. It’s in the choice of plates, decor, and all these little touches.
