Not a bad spot! I will say it was pricey! They have gluten free options and a ton of place to sit! Not sure I would be back,

Went on a Saturday afternoon at the suggestion of a friend I was visiting in the area. I was surprised it was so slow in there during lunch time, we were 1 of 3 parties that were being served and there appeared to only be 3 or 4 people staffed. Ambience was nice with flowers on the tables and decorative vases holding chopsticks. The host/bartender promptly seated us. His service was decent minus our table needing to awkwardly ask for a copy of the menu back so we could order drinks since he whisked them away as soon as we ordered our entrees under the assumption we only wanted waters. (kinda surprised there wasn’t a separate drink menu on the tables tbh?) Our food came out pretty quickly, but my Stonepot Bibimbap took so long to cool down to an edible temperature that the rest of my party ate most of their food before I could get to mine. I wish the server offered to package mine up to go for me because the bowl was still too hot to hold (and also really heavy) so it was physically difficult to transfer without burning yourself. Of what I was able to eat of my dish in the restaurant I didn’t get too far because of something so spicy in it that my stomach started turning (whatever was to the right of the egg). This was confusing as the menu description listed spicy gochujang as coming on the *side* (which it did, and was delicious but wasn’t spicy?). The egg on top was cooked perfectly and the presentation was colorful. The beef was tender. The complimentary kimchi was a nice touch and heat level, as well. The menu could benefit from little pepper symbols 🌶️ to denote spiciness in dishes. Nice amount of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options on the menu, our drinks were good. Given the higher price point and lack of gluten-free entree options on the menu (two currently) it might be a while before I’d consider coming back.

I wasn't expecting a lot when I was invited to dinner inside of a casino, but I was so impressed with everything at RuYi! First of all, parking was very easy, thanks to the immense parking garage attached to Potawatomi. When you get to the second level skywalk, it's east to find the restaurants. Despite the flashings, whirs, and music, of the room full of slot machines, as soon as you enter RuYi, you feel like you're at a Japanese restaurant anywhere else. The red walls make the space feel cozy while the tables are spread out enough that you aren't bothered by any other groups. We tried a good variety of the food. The $1 sashimi (deal only available on Wednesdays) was really great as appetizers or to share. The Japchae with shrimp (Glass noodles, egg, shiitake mushroom, carrot, bok choy, bell peppers, sesame seeds) was incredible! Without shrimp, it was vegetarian/dairy free/gluten free. And I had leftovers that were still amazing the next day. The seaweed salad was one of the freshest I've had. And the drinks were fun to try, since most were made with very good sake. Highly recommend if you want to try a new place or just to see what Potawatomi has to offer.
