Good food, but we went for restaurant week and I’ve never been so rushed out of a tasting menu. Only 5 courses, but with the wine pairings, it was rushed. Sat at 5pm. Served at 515. We were given bill at 6pm, and at 615 we were told there’s another seating in 5 minutes and we need to leave. To spend ~$350 for 2 people, we shouldn’t have to eat like we are at a fast food chain.

Talk about flavor explosion! One delicious surprise in your mouth after another with countless courses and the best ingredients. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection. The most comfortable, elegant, and tasteful experience!

If you enjoy being overcharged and scammed - this is a must visit place!!!!
Chefs here are amazing! They have a very unique palate and will make the food either super salty (soup & sauce) or completely flavorless (appetizers)!! Very unique definition of deliciousness! So creative!
You will also have a very mesmerizing experience - as this place presenting as a Korean BBQ restaurant - the food tasted nothing like Korean dish at all! Want to open a Korean inspired restaurant- just add some sauce! Nothing else matters! Awesome!
The bibimbap and the soup was such a highlight - your tongue will be numb for an hour cuz it’s super salty!!
A meal charged $350+ but gives you only some basic Korean dish that tastes super unpalatable and cheap shaved ice for dessert teaches you great way to make money!
Advice for the chefs: Go Visit Korea and Learn What Authentic Cuisine Tastes Like - at very least, just go to K-town. Some field trip would be nice. Right, chefs? ☺️
Service was also fantastic - so many interactions! My waitress took my plates away several times before I finished my food. I have to take it back myself as if I’m playing some game :) Wow so much fun! 🤩
They will also rush you to keep up with the other group of customers who got their food first! What a great idea to clock out sooner! I learned so much!
Fun fact: the executive chef/owner was from the store next to this. But he’s nowhere to be seen and can only be seen on the website(?) Guess employee training must be so hard 🥹that the entire kitchen staff doesn’t seem to have any!
If you must visit this place, just a small piece of advice for you - don’t hold any expectation for this place! No expectation, no harm! 🎉
What a horrible horrible place! We were charged $500 for canceling our reservation. My wife felt ill the day of our reservation and I canceled six hours before the dinner. We called the restaurant and that’s when they informed us of this ridiculous Outrageous charge. They told us the owner would reach out to us. He never did. Who do they think they are? This is criminal.

I came in with a high expectation from the same chef behind Omakase Yume, but the overall experience was extremely underwhelming.
It’s a 14-course omakase, which includes 2 appetizers, 2 desserts, one course break, and one seafood dish. The beef courses are only 8 in total, and only one of 8 features A5 wagyu. The rest of the beef cuts are nothing fancy. Portions are on the smaller end.
The courses are: - Yukhue - Korean Sausage - Bone marrow - Short rib - Hanger steak - Galbi - Dongchimi - Seabass - Skirt steak - Tteokgalbi - Wagyu sukiyaki - Bibimbap - Patbingsu - Gaeseongjuk
Some notes on the courses: - Appetizers are just alright. It doesn’t bring any excitement for the main courses. - A little too much seasoning on the bone marrow; you can hardly taste the bone marrow itself. - Seabass was surprisingly one of my favorites. Well balanced, as the flavor of the fish and porridge isn't overpowered by seasonings like some of the previous main courses. - Skirt steak, tteokgalbi, sukiyaki, and bibimbap are delicious, but the soup that comes with bibimbap (gomtang) is a bit salty. - Some reviews here mentioned having sashimi as palette cleanser. Unfortunately, there was none during my visit. The only palette cleanser I had was the 7th course on the menu, which is Dongchimi.
There is room for improvement on the prepping service as well, since there were a few things that happened: - splashing salt and oil during grilling, - flipped over one of the galbi and made a bit of a desperate attempt to fix it, and - one broken yolk in the sukiyaki dish
Overall, this doesn’t feel like a beef omakase, but rather an Asian fusion tasting menu. I spent $680 after 20% service charge and tax for two people. I would be okay if they priced it at $150 per person, but this is not worth the food nor the service.

My daughter and I while visiting Chicago made reservations and they did not disappoint. Everything was excellent, the cuts of wagyu beef, presentation, atmosphere and overall service was superb. It's worth every penny spent, definitely going back next time we go.
My wife and I had an incredible time during my birthday. We went on a Wednesday evening as soon as they opened, 5:00pm. We had the whole place to ourselves so it was a very intimate and private experience. We got to ask the chefs about the prepared dishes and what other dishes they enjoyed in Chicago.
Food: exceptional. I highly recommend the wine pairing. Not only did they compliment the dishes, but also cleanse the pallet to prepare us for the next course.
Service: incredible, everyone easy to talk to and down to earth.
Atmosphere: private and intimate experience in a modern kitchen.
Room for improvement. Possibly offer the beef cut with little to no seasoning prior to the dish so the customer can taste and enjoy what wagyu is supposed to taste like prior to the add one of flavor.

‘Twas just a normal day until Bon Yeon decided to show the F out with their delicious Omakase Beef experience. I went there with some friends thinking it was going to be good, but they went and Tony the Tiger’d us and it turned out “grrrrreeat.” If I had a dollar for every time they gave me an unforgettable experience, I’d have a dollar. If you need some of the best beef out there to grace your palate with or a never ending supply of wine with said beef, please look no further. Everything was meticulously crafted by these professionals, and it was as though the hand of god was working through divine intervention.
Incredible and unique steak omekase. Much of the food is cooked in front of you like in Korean BBQ. Every dish, a different piece of meat from around the world. I would say a must have experience if you love beef 🐂

Had an amazing experience here for my birthday. What a treat. Staff were very accommodating and attentive. Chef Dennis was knowledgeable and personable to us curious guests 😊. Food was amazing, although I would prefer just a touch less sweet. At the end, I was almost too full to thoroughly enjoy the desserts. Alcohol selection was unique and delicious, we even got a couple tastings on the house. Recommended for those looking for an intimate, delectable dining experience.

What an incredible meal with incredible service and atmosphere! We loved every minute spent at this omakase tasting on the eve of July 4!
We had the drink pairing and every selection was perfectly paired with each course.
The chefs were so friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
We will be back when in town again!
