On the Grid : Miku

"Miku is a great restaurant for all Japanese food lovers. Serving sushi traditional-style in a modern and cozy atmosphere, they offer hot or cold small plates, big plates, ramen, skewers, nigiri and sashimi, and all types of maki rolls. Any of their maki rolls make miso happy—especially the Dragon roll. If you're into ramen like us, their Tonkotsu ramen is honestly the best ramen we've had in Chicago, and our friends agree! If you happen to go in the month of March, they celebrate "National Noodle Month" by discounting their ramen dishes to $8 each instead of the normal $13-14 prices. If you go during the day, they have some really great lunch specials. Sit at the sushi bar, at one of the tables or out on the front patio that runs along Lincoln Ave. Tip: It's best to make a reservation if you go at night. Also, they're no longer a BYOB, so leave that wine at home to enjoy later." - Knoed Creative
