First time order, and it was phenomenal! So fresh and portion is exceptional. Built my own 2protein bowl. Will definitely spread the word to come check you guys out! Looooved the Thai tea as well!
I am so happy they have finally opened. I chose the Mango Tango Bowl, and my husband went with build your own. The service was very good and the staff was extremely kind, patient and helpful. I went with the Thai tea, and my husband chose the mango milk tea. I thought the prices were very good, especially for the amount of food we received. Everything was super fresh and tasty. We will be going again.
Fantastic. I cannot believe how good this food is. I am not a fish person but this peppered tuna is delicious. My friends spicy tuna bowl was also very tasty. There is so much food in these bowls. The boba tea is actually fresh and you get to choose your tea (as you should for boba). The passion fruit smoothie though is out of this world. I could drink this forever every day. I need to try the other flavors. I will be back for more!
Came in today for the first time, the friendly employees were super helpful and even told us about some of their favorite meals here. We hardly had to wait and I really enjoyed the Strawberry Smoothie and pokebowl! Lots of seating, a good variety of food options, and socialable team members. Definitely returning in the future to try your ramen!
My husband and I stopped here for his birthday. We each got a poke bowl. The food, drinks and mochi. We're absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back.
Went in with my daughter and her friend. We all built our own bowls. They were fast and friendly. My bowl was delicious and the girls enjoyed theirs. The seaweed salad was especially delicious and spicy salmon. The drinks were the best part though, everybody LOVED theirs.
I had the spicy tuna bowl and a peach boba tea and both were super delicious! All the ingredients were fresh and nicely portioned. Staff was very friendly with fast service. Makes me sad I was only in town visiting a friend, but I'll definitely return on my next visit to Valpo!
Don't usually write a lot of reviews but I was so impressed with the food here I wanted to make sure and leave some love! I got the Mango Tango bowl and it was so fresh, filling, and yummy! The fish is sooooo fresh and delicious and you get a generous amount of food for the cost (I will be having 2 meals of this bowl, very filling). Staff is kind and quick and restaurant is very clean and unassuming. Even though Valpo is a drive for me I'll be coming back!
Best ramen in Chicagoland. I am a ramen connoisseur and the flavor is the best. I had the shoyu ramen. The boiled egg is not the sous vide kind however it still us the best flavor ramen i have ever had in NW Indiana including Chicago downtown where I used to live.
Great atmosphere, delicious food and very inviting. I was admittedly intimidated by the menu at first, only cause I don't usually eat this type of cuisine. The man who was working offered and answered all of my questions about what they use and what things are like. Everything was delicious. I got the Chicken Ramen as it comes and I will definitely be back to try the other delicious sounding options on the menu. They also have lots of delicious drink options, even the bottles. If you're debating, give this place a try!
