With warm, perfectly cooked sweet potato, rice, nori & tempura crunch, Ryo’s sweet potato roll is made with just a few ingredients and yet, it will deeply satisfy every hungry bone in your body.
Ryo is ideally located in the Loop, close to Millennium Park & The Art Institute of Chicago. It’s a fantastic spot for a pre (or post) museum visit, or for carry-out to bring to a concert in the park. I’ve also found Ryo to be a great spot for dining solo, as they have a fab little counter/seating area at the front picture window, which looks onto busy Madison street, where it’s easy to find yourself lost in thought, people watching, or both.
Tonight, the restaurant seating area is actually closed for renovations, although they allow me to wait inside, where I can still enjoy my window view. As I wait, my thoughts zig — from the Dali show, the crowds, the musicians & the skater kids at the steps to the museum — then zag back to the food (which I can’t wait to devour). Yep. Love this place & highly recommend it. (They’re currently only open for delivery & carry-out, due to renovations. Call to confirm dine-in status.)
& thank you @acastillon for asking if I’d made it to Dali, which I almost didn’t! (Had planned to go with friends - we’d mention it when together, yet we didn’t firm-up a date.) Then suddenly (or so it seemed), the show was about to leave town!
Please swipe to see a couple of pieces from the show, along with a few iconic works in the museum.
