ABOUT

"Every table at Chicago’s Ryuu Asian BBQ is embedded with a circular Japanese-style smokeless grill, and for good reason. The aim is to immerse diners in the experience of cooking Japanese, Korean, and Thai cuisine to celebrate an American food world that has broken cultural boundaries. Partners David Condon and Anna Makmok created a menu spanning from Korean chicken wings and Laotian curry noodle to chicken satay and pork, among other Asian fusion specialties. While your wallet won’t have many complaints about Ryuu’s reasonable price point, the highlight of the meal is undoubtedly cooking your own food; roll up your sleeves and let it sizzle." - Thrillist Chicago

"Japanese, Korean and Thai barbecue with grill-your-own options and a variety of sauces is offered in a sleek, stylish Logan Square storefront with rustic and industrial elements and seating at booths, banquettes or the full bar with more than a dozen draft beer taps."

"When restaurant co-owners David Condon and wife Anna Makmok traveled to California, they saw a food world that meshed Japanese, Korean and Thai flavors. The couple has extensive restaurant experience, accompanied by Makmok’s mother—chef Noy Sengsourichanh—the quiet and stern force who founded Anna’s Asian Bistro in the West Loop."
