My husband & I went to Chizakaya last night for dinner. Sat in the back at one of the communal tables & exposed kitchen (you wouldn't know there was a whole other area when you walk in). This is the opposite of what you see on those reality chef shows. No screaming here, just very calm staff.
For drinks, I loved the Lie & Cheat. My husband had the Great Lakes beer from Ohio. He had this on one of his business trips & was excited to see it on the menu - he ordered it twice. All the beers were from Japan or the Midwest. On the back of their menu, they list the local farms they purchase from.
We had a little bit of everything. The puffed pig ears-I swear I turned to look at the kitchen & when I looked back, my husband finished every little piece. The hamachi with bone marrow, congee, walleye, octopus salad, octopus skewer & chicken meatball were just a few of the items we ordered and all so wonderful. And dessert, I had the rice pudding - very yummy with the coconut.
Overall a great time. Easy to find. Not many restaurants surrounding Chizakaya, it was like a hidden neighborhood gem, in an area not filled with valet signs every ten feet. We took a cab, but parking didn't seem difficult. It was Oktoberfest down the street at St. Alphonsus, so I think there were more cars than usual. I didn't have time to try the ramen, but I look forward to trying this on my next trip, with my own bowl of puffed pig ears. - By Tami (Sunday 9/26/10 11:36 AM)

It was decent. i loved the dancing part of vintage that is what attracted my friends and me. We bar hoped from hawkeyes to drum and walked by vintage adn knew we had to go in and once we went inside we just had a blast. Plenty of people. Plenty of room to move and go to the bar and to dance. Only bad part was dj said he didnt know any hip hop so i just had to make fun out of what he played

It may not be totally authentically Korean but I will be honest and tell you the food made me okay with dying in food bliss. Not the best food in the world but the Galibi was juicy, tender and savory. Then the bartender "Ben" was amazing. He can suggest and make an amazing drink.
If you become friends with him then he will most likely hook you up. He will drink with you and is very friendly. He is not Korean but no biggie! ;-) Anyway, the yuk gae hang we ordered was so good that my sister and I can not wait until we return to order it again!
We returned for their Sunday night and it was delicious (I wrote it in Korean and it won't post it!)! It was completely filling! I can't wait to order more sojutinis and food. It may not win my heart in authenticity but in flavor it has won a place in my stomach that will last some time. - By Bae (Sunday 7/18/10 7:16 PM)

Truly a classic american steakhouse with incredible prime steaks and fresh seafood.
I am a regular - this place is amazing - I reside in Dallas but come in for business. I met the owners and it's clear why the place is so well kept and well run.
the quality is unsurpassed and we know our steaks in texas kids.
Yyou can't go wrong here. I skip Ruth's and Morton's all together when I am in Chicago (schaumburg area mainly). - By Johnny Mou (Thursday 7/15/10 2:23 AM)
