    Ttowa is a gem to Arlington heights. The food is always great- the complimentary appetizers are amazing. My favorite kimchi - everything is homemade.

    One of our absolute favorite restaurants. We have been going to Ttowa since its opening. The owner is so kind and friendly. The food is impeccable and the portions are generous. The only thing we’ve noticed is that Ttowa needs some sprucing up. The interior needs some pictures on the wall and the take out containers should not be so present. The back bar area needs some tweaking as well. Sometimes the aesthetics are just as important and we say this with upmost respect. Additionally, we wish the menu included drinks or desserts. We didn’t know if they were not serving alcohol. One final thing, way back Ttowa used to greet you with the most amazing hot tea. It was delicious and a great touch as a customer. We know Covid has impacted restaurants so all of this is being said in the spirit of kindness. We LOVE the food and will continue to order for take out and also eating at the restaurant.

    This is a small, family run restaurant, with amazing food and service! I wanted to try the whole menu, but settled on a few dishes, all of which were phenomenal! I will be dining here again.
