“I cautiously entered the aging bowling alley to decide for myself if Boba Burger is as good as I've heard. After circling the parking lot to find a space during league play it better be.The menu is a big sign on the wall and there are a lot of interesting choices. The prices are good, too. The guy at the counter was friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering the Seoul Burger.It was simply incredible. Kimchi, kalbi glazed bacon, fried egg. A perfect blend of flavors and textures, and no cutting corners on quality. So freaking good!The Thai iced tea is delicious, too.SECOND VISIT: It was so good I had to bring my fiance back with me. I guess that friendly guy at the counter owns the place with his brother. Good folks, I enjoy talking to them.She isn't as adventurous as me and ordered the more basic Boba Burger. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly seasoned, perfect sear. She was happy.This time I tried the BBQ Lechon Burger. It isn't as over-the-top as the Seoul Burger but it was still delicious. Lechon is roasted pork belly. Paired with the ground beef, barbecue sauce, and topped with an onion ring, this is another winner.Their Vietnamese iced coffee is really good. The egg rolls are above average, I had to fight her for that last one. Their fries are nicely crisped and well seasoned.Bottom line: Yes, they have earned their reputation and I plan on working my way through the whole menu.Parking: It's inside a bowling alley. If there's league play going on it could be difficult finding a spot close to the door. Otherwise there's plenty of spaces.“
“My friends and I went a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered kimbap, tteokbokki, and spicy ramen and everything was absolutely delicious. The server and owner were so kind and attentive. We are planning to visit again. Give this place a try!“
“best restaurant ever!!!!!! must try!!!! excellent service and incredible food!!We got the Rotti Paratha, Chinese pancake, crab meat egg drop soup, Malaysian Mee Goreng, and the Vegetables Curry with Tofu. Each one exceeded our expectations and was better than anywhere else local.“
“We expected something a little different since looking at the menu online, I couldn't really pinpoint the cuisine. Greek? Mediterranean? Asian? Polish? Middle Eastern? Well, doing a little Googling at the restaurant,it appears to be Uzbekistan. The beet salad was amazing, and I got the Lamb Kababs, called Shashlik. Really, really good. The entrees appeared to all be served on a wooden board, with your choice of side, sauce, and protein served on a small pita. I got a Old Fashioned cocktail, which was also really good. Our server was super sweet and attentive. Will be going back to try some of the other items on creative menu featuring a lot of options.“
“Awesome place! One of the best sushi restaurant in northshore. I’m so happy I found this place. Food - especially sushi and sashimi are fresh and delicious.Staffs are friendly and nice, too. Highly recommended!!분위기도 좋고 음식도 맛있습니다.“
“Absolutely love this place! I had no idea it was 100% Gluten Free, when searching for Gluten-free restaurants, this one doesn’t show up. But because it’s entirely GF, it would be awesome to add this to the Google Business account so it appears on searches.Vegetarian options: Tons of delicious veggie options.Dietary restrictions: 100% Gluten Free, options for every diet.Kid-friendliness: Great food that kids love!“
“I love the food, as a vegetarian it's hard to find options when eating out and this place delivers. The prices are high, but the portions are decent. My only suggestion would be not to charge extra for a little extra sauce. It ruins the experience and I don't know if you gain anything by doing that.“
“So this place is an amazing "Pocha" experience! Great social drinking vibe with amazing food. Note that the wait can be 40mins+ and it can get very packed. Now although you might wait a bit, which should give you enough time to have an order in mine, the food comes out super fast once placed. Probably took only 10mins for the food to start coming out.Highly highly recommend the Tofu Kimchi (which comes with pork belly), Spicy BBQ pork belly w/mozzarella, and the Rose Tteok bok ki.Definitely what we were looking for and they also have karaoke which we might come back to try.“
“We had been looking for a replacement for the closed Mei Lin House in Wilmette and this is it. Very tasty offerings. Generous portions. We’ve only had the Chinese dishes so far. Pictured here are takeout Beef Cubes with Tomato Rice and Kung Pao Shrimp. When we ate in for a previous visit, Service was typical good then forgotten, but they’re busy so no major foul.“
“Kong Dog is a unique take on a hot dog and very creative. We had the Cheetos and Potatoes half and half dog. Both were fresh, tasted good and had incredible cheese pull from the cheese portion. It is certainly a speciality kind of a place rather than a quick stop in for a "regular" meal however.“
“We wandered in just cuz it looked cool and it knocked it out of the park. While we decided what to order they gave us samples of their chicken jalapeño lumpia and chatted with us. We got the mixed mini lumpia, pork skewers, BBQ Bulgogi Bao, crab lumpia and a coconut smoothie. All of it was so incredibly good. I can’t wait to go back - we’ll definitely dine in next time.“
“I came here for a pick up order. Had the steak bowl and chicken bowl. The bowls were very tasty. I particular the steak which I really enjoyed. The steak had a grilled taste and was marinated perfectly. The bowls came with a cup of miso soup which was not watered down like many other places. I initially felt bad ordered 10 minutes before closing but the young lady working behind the register and owner were very nice and welcoming. The interior of the restaurant had a Chipolti fell to it but much brighter and less sterile. For a quick lunch or dinner, this is a great spot centrally located in Wilmette downtown. I will definitely be coming back.“
“One of my favorite sushi restaurants. I wish it was a little nicer, kinda showing it's age, restaurant is over 10 years old, decors hasn't changed since then. Service is good, and they are attentive.Vegetarian options: Have friends who are vegetarian they enjoy their food.“
“I’m glad that they decided to extend their hours. They used to close before 5 pm and that was vexing. We came here for a late lunch. If you got a 30 min or hour lunch break, then this place is great for that. Service was fine. Food was good. We got a variety. Some of the ingredients are no longer on the current menu fyi. Prices are reasonable. There is parking but they share it with other places next door.-pork cutlet tong bop 5/5 - this one is my favorite. It’s like a burrito and that crunch was perfect.-bulgogi kimbop 5/5-fried chicken kbop 5/5“

The snow-covered snow, the snow-white snow-white snow!The snow fell on the ground, the snow fell on the ground.I’ve been looking for a good Asian restaurant in the Niles area for a while, and I’ve had to go to another town to find one. I finally found a very good restaurant called Twin Dragon!Our servers were Won and Garon and they were absolutely the best. This is a Mom and Pop owned business and they work very hard to make their customers enjoy their dining experience and want to come back.The food was hot, fresh and plentiful! As you can see in the pictures, the portions were huge and we took food home!I highly suggest you give this restaurant a try, you will be pleasantly surprised.They have plenty of parking and three large party rooms of various sizes.

“Honestly was a little nervous when I saw how little people there was and how extensive their menu was. We only got the golden shrimp (appetizer) and sushi items. So nothing from the grill side. But everything we got tasted really really good. Would like to go back when the terrace is open because I feel like the ambiance would be a little better out there“
“Jin is my absolute FAVORITE place to grab lunch. It is truly a hidden gem. The crab ragoon is the best I have ever had. Its my favorite thing!!! Although, everything I have tried is amazing. The serving sizes are so generous and the food is so fresh and clean, not greasy. Its the BEST! You have to give it a try!“
“Tasty choices of full plates and sampler bits. The spice blends are wonderful. We enjoyed the vegetarian items. The Saag with paneer was so fresh, yum. The beverages are refreshing: both nonalcoholic and ones with liquor.Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices“
“Fresh, delicious, sushi with thick slices of fish, with just the right amount of spice or cream cheese or whatever else you might find in your roll of choice to bring out the flavor of the fish instead of masking it. I can't believe this is so close to home - I'm completely beside myself with glee right now.Update: it's been 6 years and I'm still in love. I have eaten here a mortifying number of times and picked up sushi to go even more often and I've never had a bad experience.Second update: I've moved, and Hakuya is the only restaurant I'll travel to reach. Absolutely impeccable every time.“
“We went to Shakou for dinner a couple of weeks ago for the first time. I can say that service was amazing - we were served by a new waitress ( she was still in training) but she did an excellent job providing perfect customer service. She was there when she was needed and provided space for us to have a great date throughout the evening.The food was on par with the service. We ordered miso soup, ahi tartar and salmon carpaccio for appetizers. For entrees we had diver scallops and jumbo shrimp dish and chicken teriyaki entree. Both appetizers and entrees were very delicious and we would definitely order it again. One thing I wanted to note that the scallop and shrimp entree is quite small, so make sure to get an appetizer (I was glad we did, because the scallop entree alone would not be enough for dinner for me - it is so good though I could probably eat two of those ?). For dessert we had chocolate lava cake a la mode and chocolate pyramid - both were pretty good, but lava cake is definitely the winner between the two.Overall, I definitely recommend this place. It has a city vibe to it, so louder than most suburban places, hence attracts younger crowd. 5 starts ?“
“This place has delicious food. The workers are all incredibly pleasant and make sure your experience is top tier. I've come here on multiple occasions with my friend and we both can agree the food and service have been amazing every single time.“
“I just had to give a new update. They updated their menu. I took friends here and they all loved it! The food & service were perfect! It's a fun little spot. We ordered: Nutty Chicken Fat Dragon Noodles Coconut Chicken Curry White fish special Everything was 10/10!!“
“Cute little place in downtown Wilmette. Amazing Thai food - fresh, tasty, reasonable prices and great service. Orange chicken always a big hit with the kids. Highly recommended for dine-in and take-out.Vegetarian options: Tofu with mixed veggies was delicious.“

Salamat Po is a haven for those seeking genuine Filipino flavors, making it a must-visit for both enthusiasts and newcomers to this vibrant culinary tradition. The owner is great!Parking: Spacious parking lot.Kid-friendliness: The store has plenty of room inside so kids wouldn't be too bored while waiting for their parents to order food.“
“Our new go-to for Korean. Yes, there will be a wait for seating or none available if you go too late and if you did not reserve ahead. Yes, the service won't be excellent because they get super busy and well, you just have to be patient. However, the food is FANTASTIC and a great selection in their menu. We absolutely love the garlic chicken gizzard (tough to find anywhere!) love love love the vibe, feel like you're in a restaurant in Korea. We can tell that most customers there are also Korean. So if the place is full of their own people, you know it's good! KPop on the TV and fun decor. We love this place!“
“Very sweet little place that appears to be run by a family. The food was hot and fresh. Our party had one vegan, one gluten free and one picky eater. The restaurant was able to accommodate everyone and knew the menu contents very well. I am looking forward to returning soon.“
“I love PNS! I've been coming to this location for years and it always hits the spot. I am a big fan of the Vegetarian Bowl with tofu - it's light and healthy but delicious. I've also tried a few appetizers and I've enjoyed everything. I usually call in my orders and they're quick to fulfill and orders are easy to pick up. I hope this store never closes in Northfield!“
“We had the chicken Tom Yum soup. It was pretty tasty. I've only enjoyed 2 places and this is one of them. The other was Thai Room but they're closed now. I had the basil fried rice. It was ok. I'd try something else next time. The fried icecream is pretty good“
“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Service wasn't great- our side dish was brought out as we were finishing up our meal. It had obviously just been reheated, which I guess is better than bringing it out cold.Volcano Roll is my favorite.“
“Everything was great! We tried the spicy chicken dumplings they were perfect! The sauce had the best flavor. I had the pork belly ramen, everything in it had great flavor and was cooked perfectly, we also tried the chicken katsu, the chicken was crispy and delicious, everything about it was perfect! Bummed it’s a pop up and will definitely be making a point to go back a few times before it’s gone! Service was excellent, great suggestions and drinks too! If you haven’t tried this place make sure you don’t miss out.“
“Great little Thai food restaurant. The service was very good; everyone was helpful and accommodating. However, the food was the star of the evening!! I highly recommend that you eat here when you want Thai food for your next meal.Parking: Drive slow in front to find the right driveway. Parking is in the back and very tight.“
“The sushi was really good- fresh and rolled well, however a bit pricy. It seems like there is counter service; I ordered from the counter. However, the person came from behind the counter to take an order from a different table- so, maybe either way? There are a lot of rolls to choose from, but many seem very similar.Dietary restrictions: There were a limited number of gluten-friendly items. Most of the maki rolls have imitation crab, tempura or crunch things.“
“We always order to go from here. The servers are nice. We love their pho and of course their bahn mi. I toast the bahn mi and hmmm so good. Its just smaller niw but full of meat inside. I havent ordered anything else but those are my 2 fave. The place is typical resto, nice but nothing flashy. Street parking only but there is a nearby public parking.“
“I’ve been coming here for years. The food came out quickly and service were great. Our server Nate is awesome and sweet, he is very efficient and fast. The wings are perfect, cooked through, moist and crunchy. Parmesan fries one of the best things ever. We loved this place and will recommend and come again!“
“Stopped by on Wednesday 02/06! And was greeted and attended by Mercedes. She was SUPER kind and attentive with my order! Very grateful she took my needs seriously since I fast on Wednesday's/Friday's & can only eat vegan. She went above & beyond to make sure my needs were meet! & as I was waiting I noticed how clean the area is. & once I got my order it came out so fresh; plan on visiting again! & thank you for the great experience!Dietary restrictions: Has a wide variety for those who follow a strict diet!“
“So glad we found this place. Landed in Chicago from Hawaii and was greeted by snow all day. Looking for comfort food, we found this place. Wonderful staff and I believe he was the owner, made us feel so welcome. The ramen was great and so was the Thai food. Highly recommend. Much aloha to the staff there. The flower girls!“
