I might be one of the last ones in Chicago to try this restaurant, and after 1000+ reviews, I still want to put in my 2 cents. I am not sure why I waited sooo long to try out this place.

I had high expectations for this place - and it totally delivered!! It is a tiny, blink-and-you-will-miss-it kind of place. But inside it is a very cosy and cute restaurant.
