Ryuu Asian BBQ

Chicago
Japanese Restaurant
$$$$

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.
