Review of jU Chicago

This is what I get for relying too much on reviews...

This is what I get for relying too much on reviews when picking an Asian restaurant. I guess I should have realized that this wasn t going to be what I was expecting since it s located in the Andersonville area. I was trying to find a place with cocktail soju on Yelp, and this came up but there is a HUGE difference between cocktail soju and soju cocktails. The cocktails we ordered were just mediocre, and didn't taste as well blended as cocktail soju--- there's a fine balance!

I had the octopus dolsot bibimbop, which was pretty good, but mainly cuz I love octopus! I love bibimbop. Service was pretty good. I'm going with three stars instead of four because the drinks sucked and I thought the food was overpriced for what you're getting--- I just don't like paying a lot of Asian food that I know could and should be a lot cheaper. I guess you're paying for the trendy atmosphere though--- I did it and enjoyed the food, but it doesn't mean that I liked having to do it!
