• Asian • Edgewater

Booked 1 time today

The key to Indie Cafe’s success is simple cuisine, elegantly prepared. Chef Iggy Waranon's dishes feature a dynamic combination of savory Thai and simple Japanese cuisine, with an emphasis on the original flavor of the fresh ingredients. Fresh and seasonal fish is often touched by cilantro-infused oils, miso dressing, and Asian citrus for pop and personality. Indie Cafe's fun, casual, and modern Asian interior also lends itself to a comfortable and cozy night with friends. Before the rolls arrive, order up a Ginger or Lychee Martini to whet the appetite. Oh—and for an added bonus, they’re mere steps from the beach.Best New Restaurants, Chicago magazine America's Top Japanese Restaurants, 2008 Zagat

• Japanese • Logan Square

Booked 3 times today

Akahoshi Ramen is a humble ramen shop in the city of Chicago. Everything is made in the restaurant, including all soups, seasonings, toppings, and noodles. We are not an authentic ramen shop, though we value the history of ramen, and our ramen is influenced by its past and its future potential. The dish, popularized in Japan after World War 2, is symbolic of both struggle and perseverance. It is both a simple dish, and a fantastically complex one that we treat with reverence and respect. Roughly translating to “Red Star,” the name “Akahoshi” is a love letter to two cities; Sapporo, Hokkaido, where red stars adorn city monuments, and Chicago, Illinois, where the red star decorates the city flag. Our ramen is influenced by Japanese and American ideals in cooking. We hope you will join us to enjoy a bowl of ramen, made with the respect and passion it deserves.

Our food took longer than expected due to an unexpected glitch, but our server, Audrey, and the management took very good care of us. We had so much fun enjoying the lively atmosphere.

The menu selection and variety tremendous. Best lobster roll and wedge salad I’ve ever had, beautifully prepared and the chef did not cut back on the serving size to cut corners unlike most restaurants. Well with the price which is not inexpensive. Much better than I ever remembered the Gage being in prior years, to bad we have to leave town and could not go again. But we will be back. Our server, Crystal G was over the top in her help selecting choices and in her attentiveness . A wonderful luncheon spot for sure and I’ve been to the best of the best around the world.
