Chicago

Note: Sad to report that Pan Asia, one of the best little restaurants in Chicago as we see/saw it, is no longer. The place is now some crazy Caribbean joint with an unfortunate bright yellow storefront. But I leave this entry up, for memory's sake.

Hmmm...do I want Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese? Everything's so damn good here it's always hard to decide. A friendly family-run place that's never crowded and consistently cheap and tasty. Plus they serve the best goma-ae of anyplace around.
