Suburban staple for creative Korean-inspired bowls - Edit
Been coming here for years and finally reviewing. Took my mom here since she likes the different flavors compared to other options in the area. We both got BYO vegan bowls. Their noodles and sauce specifically are super tasty and the employees are always generous with the veggie toppings. Their drinks are great too, and free refills are the way to my heart. ❤️
Read moreA great spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner especially if eating with omnivores around the burbs.

Japchae Bowl! - Edit
This is one of my favorites! They have a meatless Monday discount and everything is clearly labeled for vegans. I typically order the japchae with tofu and so many great toppings that my bowl is a rainbow of veggies. So good!

Love this concept and free miso soup - Edit
I had a bowl of cauli rice, greens, kale, carrot, mushroom, moochae. With gochu sauce on top. All excellent. Just the right portion size and a free miso soup on the side. I would choose this over chipotle any day!

AMAZING - Edit
I had the japchae noodles with tofu, carrots, corn, kale, and black beans. I also had the Sesame Ginger and Teriyaki sauces which were both delicious. I’ve never had kimchi before, and it was alright. I’m kind of picky so that’s probably why. It was delicious and I would totally eat it again.

Love it.. (2019 update) - Edit
Yes, we love it from the week they opened.
Read moreYes, the atmosphere is great - brings back memories from Asia. And yes, as a regular place in Japan the miso soup is not vegetarian.
They have done a great job of having the list of ingredients available, so check with it.
UPDATE (Jan.2019): A few months ago they made sure the miso soup has no fish in it!
Updated from previous review on 2019-01-14
Pros: Designing your own Asian-ish dish in English, Reasonable prices (incl. the drinks)., Asian feel - from food

Great vegan options - Edit
Four stars because only vegan places get five. But other than that, the menu is very clearly labeled as vegan or not. I like to get the Japchae noodles with every vegan topping (including V kimchi, which is rare) plus free miso soup! Also lots of good sauces. Highly recommend if you're near Woodfield.

Fresh healthy food - Edit
This place is great, you build your own bowl (think chipotle) and can add all the veggies and sauces you want. Your base for the bowl is rice, potatoes, or noodles. I recommend not doing the noodles because they are pretty light. The kimchi and most sauces are vegan. If you re unsure about the sauce you want they have them all available on the floor and you can fill up a small cup with whatever sauce you'd like. Everything is clearly labeled and the purple rice is very filling. They also have nutritional information sheets readily available behind the counter.
Read morePros: lots of vegan options, natural pops and teas
Cons: miso soup contains fish, very busy during lunch - may not get a table
