Wasn't able to make the last DO in July, but will be able to make this! I look forward to sharing details about my big graduation trip!
Coming from the burbs so I am debating driving vs Metra/CTA. Any info on parking at this location? (Meters, tickets, public parking, etc).

sorry to hear
very good! meters, parking on Halsted is normally pretty good in this area, should be able to find a spot close to the restaurant (at least I always have). If you need a ride to Metra after the lunch, let me know, I'll be going that way & could drop you off at either Ogilvie or Union station

Some of the hits we dined on last time:
Smoked Pork Roll
Tofu w/preserved egg
Cumin lamb bone-in stir fry
Hand tear beef jerky over chilies
Stir fry spinach w/peanuts & vinegar
Got a line from a chef friend not to miss: colorful wide noodles with a "brilliant sauce of vinegar and mustard"
Looking forward, see y'all there

big thanks for doing so, I really enjoyed the 3 Floyd's collaboration IPA and I'm not normally an IPA fan.
Glad everyone could make it out !!
I overall enjoyed the food but have to take some marks off two dishes in particular, having French fries mixed in with the hand tear beef jerky was not a good addition by the restaurant, the other was the fish, not the luxurious ruby red chili oil that I'm used to at other restaurants, this said, I left a pleased diner and for $11.50 per person, a great value.

I agree about your comments on the food; fries was an odd addition and probably just a random filler they had.
