🍴 Chicago's Viral Japanese Spot Review | Downtown Chicago

📍 Kyuramen x TBaar (Downtown Chicago) The omelet rice was good... but would I come back? Probably not. 💰 $40+ per person for a Japanese set meal—worth it? Read this before you decide! 🌟 The Highlights (What's Worth It) ❤️ Omelet Rice Show: The egg-cutting moment was so satisfying! Perfect for videos—super therapeutic to watch. 🥚✨ Then they pour on thick curry sauce (or was it demi-glace? Can't remember, but it was tasty!). ▫️ Popcorn Chicken: Fresh out the fryer—crispy outside, juicy inside. So good when hot! 🍗🔥 ▫️ Thai Milk Tea: My friends loved their boba—strong tea flavor, not too sweet. (I got lemonade since I can't have milk... and it was disgustingly sweet. More on that later.) 💣 The Downsides (Big Yikes!) ♠️ Ice-Cold Service: Arrived early? Too bad—"whole party must be present" rule. 😒 Staff looked so stern the whole time, borderline intimidating. ▪️ Pork Cutlet = Cardboard: Flavorless, dry, and even the sauce couldn't save it. Left half uneaten. 🐷🚮 ▪️ Lemonade from Hell: No milk options, so I got this... way too sweet, even after diluting it. Ended up taking it home as a "souvenir." 🍋💀 ▪️ $5 Matcha Pudding? More Like $6: Tiny portion + mandatory tip = not worth it. 🍵😤 📝 Final Verdict: ✅ Omelet rice & popcorn chicken = solid. ❌ But... bad service + overpriced ($40 could get you way better food in Chicago!). 💡 Tip: Skip this and go for actual Chicago specialties instead! (P.S. They have an English-translated menu, which helps!) #ChicagoEats #JapaneseFood #OverhypedRestaurant #FoodieReview #Chicago #Omurice #Foodie #RestaurantRecs
