“An
American create-your-own stir-fry adventure” This new
restaurant
to Oak Park has only been doing business here for
a
little over three weeks now. The company has several other
restaurants
of the same name located throughout the Chicago
area.
We
had dinner with some friends the other night (a Saturday)
and
the place was packed. We had to wait for half an hour and
as
many people came in and left as were eating there. If sounds
like
they are doing well, they are.
The
design only lacks seating for another hundred people or
so
and everything would be perfect. Having the grill up in the
front
window is very smart and entertaining to view from outside.
The
colors are warm and happy and the staff is wonderful.
We
interacted with several persons there and each made
us
feel at home and saw to our needs with genuine concern.
The
basic plan here is to walk up to a large counter stocked
with
tons of food, vegetables, sauces, meats, and fish and shrimp.
You
choose a large bowl for your vegetables and another smaller
bowl
for your meats. You have a wooden flag that tells both your
table
number and seat location. You put the flag in your
bowl
and then return to your seat. The food is then cooked and
brought
to your table. A lot of fun and a lot of food. Vegetarians
can
have their food cooked on a separate grill. Highly recommended
for
food and entertainment.
Look for a Good Cook Book...for yourself or someone else.
