Hachi's Kitchen

Hello. Today we will be reviewing Hachi's Kitchen located in the heart of logan square on California Ave. (just south of Logan Blvd).

Ruben:
The minute i walked in i knew it was gonna be good. This was my first time at Hachi's but Max and Otto are regulars so they know everyone who works there. I was greeted very nicely and when i sat down i was presented with a steaming hot towel so nice and relaxing. the boys didn't tell me about that so that was a surprise and let me say it was a good one. I loved the atmosphere, and the look of the place. it felt very welcoming and friendly but at the same time cool and modern. We started off with some pot stickers and they were amazing crispy dough on the outside and fresh meat and veggies on the inside. very good. After the pot stickers we had some Miso Soup and it was probably the best Miso Soup i have ever had. very flavorful and i loved the broth. For my main course i had the classic California Roll i really liked it. The crab was okay nothing special but it was still decent and the veggies were also decent. I also had a bite of Otto's teriyaki chicken and that is what i'm getting next time cause that homemade teriyaki sauce OMG was it good. Hachi's kitchen is a great sushi joint and i would love to go back i give it 5 plates.

Otto:
I've been going to Hachi's Kitchen for years, and it is one of my favorite restaurants, even though I always get the same thing: the chicken teriyaki with rice or sometimes just the rice and teriyaki sauce. Their teriyaki sauce is the best I have ever had, and I've tried to find anything existing that is as good. We have bought many different brands, and we don't like anything as much as theirs. Sometimes we just order sides of the sauce and take it home with us so that we can make rice and teriyaki sauce at home. The pork pot stickers are pretty good too, although I didn't finish mine. I really like their miso soup, although I only eat the broth. The broth is delicious. I would give this place 6 plates if I could, but since there are only 5 to give, I'll give it 5.

Max:
I love this restaurant! I've been wanting to review this place for a whole long time now. I've been going here since I was very small. And it might just be the best sushi in Chicago. First off, I love the atmosphere, and the Japanese feel of the restaurant is so authentic and fancy. They also give you a hot towel for washing your hands before you eat. The restrooms are some of the nicest I've seen in a restaurant. And right outside of the restroom there's a huge wall of real roses that you can smell, that's right, roses. But now moving on to the food. I got the Soft Shell Crab Maki. It was delicious. I love how the crab legs were sticking out of the crab rolls. And they are also very fun to eat. The crab legs were fried, and I don't eat that much fried crab. And this was awesome! I also tried some of the Rainbow Roll. Its salmon, tuna, avocado, and yellow tail wrapped around a crab stick. That was also very good. Almost all the dishes they serve here come with ginger and wasabi. And that's good for me because I like my food pretty spicy. But not SPICY! just spicy. I love Hachi's Kitchen, so I give them 5 plates.

Revolution Brewing

Hello. Today we will be reviewing Logan Square's Revolution Brewery.


Ruben:
Revolution Brewing. I have been wanting to try Revolution Brewing for a year now! and let me say I was impressed. Revolution Brewing is beyond a cool awesome building, great location, and great decor.
lemme talk about the food. i had the Workingman burger. The bun was great. it tasted very fresh. The bacon went very well with the burger. The burger tasted a little too fatty and and my stomach hurt a little after. The fries were okay not amazing but better then average. We also got the soft pretzel for a appetizer and it was very good. it tasted fresh. not much salt and very soft in the middle. also the mustard that it came with, Oh my god. it tasted so good! some of best damn mustard my taste buds have ever tasted. So that's about it for food. but their service was great our waitress was very nice and the food came out in a reasonable time. I give REVOLUTION BREWING 4.5 plates.

Max:
This is a really good place to get a burger, in my opinion. I think that their burgers are the best thing on the menu. I've been going here for a long time. And everything about this restaurant is really cool. You can see the brewery through a large glass that's about half of the restaurant. And the atmosphere is very authentic brewery. We got the Soft pretzel as our appetizer. It was a delicious pretzel. It came with 2 sauces. One was a beer cheese sauce, and the other was a mustard sauce. The cheese sauce was too rich and creamy, and it gave me a small stomach ache. But that might be because i'm not a big fan of beer cheese. The mustard sauce was very good and it went very well with the pretzel. I got the Hombre Burger. It had cheese, poblano peppers, and avocado. It was very good, though I wasn't a huge fan of the poblano peppers. They were a bit smokey and not just my taste. I was impressed with the avocado. It really complemented my burger. My side was a caesar salad. It was about an average caesar salad. And i enjoyed it, but I've had better caesar salads. But anyway, I love Revolution Brewing. and it was delicious. So I rate Revolution Brewing 4.5 plates.

Otto:
I got a cheddar cheese burger with fries. Their burgers are big and good. They are served on a brioche bun which is toasted, which makes it even more delicious. I couldn't eat the whole thing. Their fries are pretty good, I think they are better than average fries. The pretzel is delicious. Soft and kind of salty, maybe a tiny bit too salty. It comes with a beer cheese sauce which I didn't try. We like to sit in the booths that are upstairs. It's nice because the upstairs is open to the downstairs, you look down on the bar from above. The walls are made out of the wood of old barrels, they are still roundish and make a kind of wavy pattern on the walls. The light fixtures have these cool covers that are made of the metal barrel rings, all crossed to make a globe shape. I like the overall atmosphere of it. There's lots of wood and it feels nice. It's fun to look down into the bar and look at all the pulls of the beer taps, which are all shaped differently and look really cool. Most of them are the Revolution Brewery fists, in all different colors and designs. Overall, I would give them 4 plates.
