Reviews for Anju Above in Bloomington, IL
While the ramen is nicely assorted and beautifully presented, for those who've eaten in many ramen restaurants, the ramen here... in my opinion is a 2.5 out of 5 stars. The pork was too chewy and fatty, it seemed like the meat was cooked or boiled quicklyso the pork never became tender nor soft, and the fats were solid and had an icky texture. As for the broth, it was closer to avegetable soup rather than a pork based broth. The mushrooms and daikon radish overtook the flavors of the other ingredients soramen tasted mainly like mushrooms and daikon. Overall, unless you are a fanatic vegetable lover, you should not order theramen. Rather, I recommend the pizzas, as they taste pretty good. The service here is the reason why I give it a 4, the serversand bartenders tend to want your meal experience to be a good one. They provide additional information about the local area andare knowledgeable in the food that they like in the restaurant. Read more

We visited on a Friday night and got seated right away. This place has a great atmosphere and the layout was pretty cool,... considering it's upstairs from another restaurant. The wait for our food was a little long but well worth it! Everything wasvery fresh and delicious and our waiter was very friendly and gave excellent suggestions. Read more
Had another great meal at Anju. Chicken buns were spicy and sweet. Bulgogi pizza was a nice take on a BBQ pizza with the... signature Anju Korean BBQ sauce, beef and kimchi. Can't forget those Korean BBQ wings, they are a must if you visit. And to topit all off the tofu doughnut holes with a limon whipped cream and strawberries. Trust me do not pass these up. Greatatmosphere, great service and delicious food. Love this place. Read more
