Amitabul

Chef Bill Choi has been recreating homemade specialties from Grandma Choi's Seoul, Korea cookbook for 20 years. The plant-based, organic vegan restaurant on the far northwest side, Amitabul, attracts a fanatic following from all over the city and suburbs. Expect extremely flavorful numbers like Spicy Kimchi Bi Bim Bop and milder items like dry grilled pancakes, stews and noodles. If a flu, cold or too much drink is dragging you down, try Dr. K's Cure All Noodle Soup with veggies, seaweed and tofu and served with wheat or rice noodles. How about a visit to The Dark Side of the Moon - oyster and shitake mushrooms stirred with mystic Asian veggie noodles and Chef Bill's aged black bean miso sauce. The vegan pizza is gluten free and flavored with kimchi and healthy grilled veggies. Drinks work like spinach on Popeye with names like Awakening Energy and Green Heaven.
