Met lovely (I think his name is..) Marco and Carlos H- who went out of their way to accommodate my 6 year old’s sushi requirements which were not on the menu! She was very happy! I had the most delicious poke bowl too. Such friendly staff and the food was great!

Paks has been AMAZING the two times that I've been so far since they've opened. Marcos introduced me to the brand and how they make their food fresh every morning. He walked me and my friend through the menu, even though it was a little overwhelming with all the options...don't even get me started on the toppings. πŸ˜… But, everything was so delicious, the portion sizes were really generous, and the prices, for Navy Pier, were really good too. I'd definitely recommend eating here if you're visiting the Pier.

The poke was so refreshing and tasted very delicious!! Also, their glass noodles are vegan which is amazing!! I would say the price of the food is pretty reasonable considering it’s on the navy pier. Jung was super kind and generous with the servings. I hope everyone on the pier can find this gem soon!!

According to Greg, today (5/22/2026) is the FIRST day for Paks at this location. I paid $16 for poke bowl (i got spicy tuna), $5 for coconut water. GREAT, price, esp for Navy Pier, and decent portion sizes. Kudos to Greg for explaining everything to me (first time customer)
