House of Teriyaki — a japanese spot in Lakeview. Modern space that photographs well but eats even better. The menu goes beyond what you'd expect, and vegetarian-friendly. "She made the tastiest drinks that we all loved, and the donuts were incredible" — Brianna Downs

“We were so excited to come here, but then got nervous when I saw the reviews, especially the ones...”
We were so excited to come here, but then got nervous when I saw the reviews, especially the ones talking about the type of service issues people had, but we were so pleasantly surprised for our wonderful and patient service. Our server Faith was so kind to us. She made the tastiest drinks that we all loved, and the donuts were incredible. The food was hit or miss, depending on who you asked around our table, but overall was worth it. I recommend doing the meal experience. You get the biggest bang for your buck and they make everything really easy and enjoyable. Thanks for making this experience wonderful for our children, Faith! You’re great!

“Quaint and fun unique local eatery.”
Quaint and fun unique local eatery. Prices are not unreasonable for being in the city and near Wrigley Field. The options for beverages is plentiful, while the food menu is smaller but has a nice variety. You have options of salmon, chicken or tofu. The Nigiri is available for a limited time. And the have a variety including pork and beef and tuna. Pros: reasonable prices, local eats, good size portions, fun and unique atmosphere. Service is efficient. Very fresh. Cons: make a reservation if you don’t want to be rushed. They do take walk-ins, which we were, but they had to check to make sure they could accommodate us. Get used to people moving around taking pictures with you wanting to take pictures too. Blend in by wearing white and black. The corn soup was delicious. We had salmon poke bowl and the spicy don chicken. The Nigiri was not a favorite of mine, the only reason for the 4 star. And the jasmine hot tea was $5.00 for one cup. Should be at least two cups, imho. The donuts are $19/6. 3 of us ate for $122. 3 drinks, 3 entrees, one order of nigiri and 6 donuts.

“Visited this restaurant at 2pm on a Monday.”
Visited this restaurant at 2pm on a Monday. It wasn't busy at all but dining space is limited so make a reservation ahead of time if your party is more than 2 people. The soup of the day was corn chowder and was delightful. They offer seasonal flavors of onigiri or you can order the regular salmon onigiri. If you purchase 5 onigiri, you get a free miniature sword. Kids are given tokens to play the claw machine. There are several methods to earn a free photo booth session. As your waiter. There was only one waiter on shift and it got a little busy before we were done which caused it to take a while for the waiter to fulfill our requests.

“You definitely don't want to miss this place.”
You definitely don't want to miss this place! Not only do they have delicious donuts and a great variety of food and drinks, but the whole spot is a vibe! Perfect for snapping photos or videos - it's super Instagrammable with all the fun props they offer. The service is quick and friendly, and the chicken is extra crunchy (so good!). The drinks have unique flavors that I really enjoyed. For just $4, you can even take some adorable, memorable pictures in their photo booth area! I'd totally recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great vibes.

“Food was so good - big portions and flavorful!”
Food was so good - big portions and flavorful!! Had the Fried Chicken Curry Don and the Wiggle Cat Pudding with Mochi Donut, 10/10. Server was so nice as well, on top of it all and with great timing. For sure will be back, for the atmosphere, the food and the service!

“I went there late June, 2025.”
I went there late June, 2025. Had a good time, ordered some fries and beverages, they were good! Not too expensive, service was good. The place is small so not many people can fit in, there’s a Photo Booth and a little space with a motorcycle that makes a good place for pictures if you’re interested. I really admired the handiwork and everything was very impressive! Had a great time!

Faith was our server! Now she’s my friend! She’s so amazing! We came in the door and when she saw I was a fan of stray kids she offered me stickers, made the whole experience amazing. Definitely coming back!!

“Taiwanese food, limited menu.”
Taiwanese food, limited menu. Found on tiktok. This place is so neat! It looks like it is a comic book! The furniture, memories, clothes, walls, everything! There are so many photo opportunities. Food was tasty and the dessert was so cute! It was a pudding cat on a mochi donut but they give you black icing and a stick to put the face on the cat!

“My friend and I came on a lovely rainy afternoon to grab some treats.”
My friend and I came on a lovely rainy afternoon to grab some treats. The mochi donuts were delicious, specially the strawberry sprinkle and Oreo! I had the mango jasmine tea with mango jelly and it was super good. Service was quick, Alexander and rest of staff were so kind and generous. Would recommend coming for the experience since it’s cute and fun!
