Restaurants près de Portage Park Shopping Center

We sat in the back room, which was not as fun. The food and service were wonderful, and because it was quieter in the back room, we were able to have a nice conversation. Our first round of cocktails were just not our taste, so we ordered a bottle of wine instead. I’d definitely return, sit in the main dining room and skip the cocktail next time.

Incredible food and ambience. Service always great

We were hopeful this would be good as it just opened down the street from us. They did not disappoint! Wow, such an amazing staff, the service was a 12/10, the food was very delicious, and we tried 8 different dishes and all of them were amazing. We tried 2 of the specials and 4 pastas, everything was so good. Bravo!

We had an outstanding meal there with friends. The dishes were creative and well executed. The service was excellent. It also has a nice intimate ambience.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, hands down. Mike and his team are exceptional, passionate, and have fun while they’re at it, too. The menu is carefully curated, limited by design yet still so thoughtful in its execution that there is something for everybody. The monthly specials are a great showcase, but no matter what, one must try the Akahoshi Miso. It’s classic, layered, rich, and everything you’d want in a bowl. The noodles are made in house (as is everything else) and perfectly chewy. On top of that, the entire team is just really great, always so welcoming, and just a lot of fun whether talking about the menu, creative ideas, or just shooting the breeze.
