MAMMOTH POKE & RAMEN — Restaurant in Chicago

I will start by saying about the environment. I loved seating on the stools near the window, but at the moment I was there I had a few people just weirdly taking a look at me and my plate. So I would not recommend seating there unless the streets are busy. But the environment is super cozy and not noisy at all, which highly matches the mood for having a ramen.

This was the best ramen I had. I’m not a person that enjoys too much spicy foods and this one didn’t have the strong flavors that come from too many spices and seasonings. It was just just perfect.

When I placed the order online, I waited 20 minutes to get there so I could pick it up right away. To my surprise, there was no pickup line. I had to ask for it after I waited for a few minutes. That was the first strike. I opened the order and there were no napkins. I've ordered at so many places and this was the first place that does not give out napkins. Thus I...
