“Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Haven't stopped by here for some good food for many years and ordered the Pork Belly Ramen for the first time. The white broth was excellent and had what tasted like truffle oil. Could have more salt, but not a deal-breaker. Pork Belly was thick and had some toughness/body too it. Not super-fatty. The poached egg was cooked perfectly. The amount of sprouts, corn, and other veggies were just right. Didn't grab any half off / BOGO sushis for once. Nice to stop by here after 7pm.“
“Manager Maya is great and very friendly, Joseph is a great worker, he is very friendly and very funny. He has great customer service and honeslty its one of the reasons i always come to this location. He is always doing drive thru and they have a great sip club I say it's totally worth it.“
“Delicious! It was very pleasant to dine and delight in every bite of this restaurant's cuisine. The best mole by far. Everything excellent.Vegetarian options: I didn't try them this time, but we will go soon.Parking: Easy to get to. And also its very informative website.Kid-friendliness: Comfortable spaces, cleanliness and friendly and professional treatment. The chef, wonderful. Thank you for your work and seasoning.Wheelchair accessibility: I saw everything very organized for the clients.“
“Food so delicious and freshly made. The ambience and music so pleasant. The owners and the staff always so nice, friendly, lovely with all guests. You can tell that they really enjoy making their guests happy while they are eating amazing recipes from Leskovac, Serbia! Such good people!“
“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“
“Beautiful interior, delicious food, attentive staff, and fast service. We dined in on a Sunday afternoon and very much enjoyed our experience. We started with the Finger Combo. I tried the crab rangoon and crispy rolls which I thoroughly enjoyed. The only note I have is that it comes with a tiny cup of sweet and sour sauce. The dish could definitely use a bigger serving of sauce to complement all the yummy fried finger foods! The pineapple shrimp curry was perfectly sweet and creamy with a hearty helping of rice. My mom said the Pad Si Ew was tasty, loved the presentation as well. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Fried Rice which packed a spicy kick but was super flavorful. We are excited to have a new Thai place in our repertoire!“
“Cafe Alif is just a find! Their lagman is simply divine - rich in flavor, juicy and very tasty. Be sure to try it! But that's not all - the service here is at the highest level. Orders are processed very quickly, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help with any questions. The atmosphere of the cafe is also pleasant and cozy, an ideal place for a pleasant lunch or dinner with friends or family. Overall, this cafe definitely deserves 5 stars for its exquisite lagman, excellent service and wonderful atmosphere.“
“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“
“The food is amazing! We ordered the steak dinner and lamb chops and they were phenomenal! Seasoned and cooked to perfection! The mashed potato’s were sooo good along with the broccoli. Also got the Margarita flatbread and it was WOW!! Don’t get me started on the crab rolls. I could eat 10 of those. Finally we got the bread pudding and I was in heaven! Kids were even given Wikki sticks in these cute little goody bags to keep them busy even though they were super occupied with the game room. The chief/owner even came out and greeted everyone which I thought was really nice. It’s hard to come across good quality food and great customer service and this places defiantly provides that. Believe it or no, I was a vegetarian for 7 years even throughout my pregnancies where I craved everything but meat! Just recently started eating meat on occasions (I still get grossed out) but the steak I had last night I can honestly say I want to go back today and order it again ? called my mom, sister and some friends to tell them they have to try this place since we are always looking for good food which is so hard to come by!“
“Suda’s offers delicious Lebanese cuisine in an upscale and intimate dining space. We came in a large group and got to try out a variety of dishes, all amazed by the flavors and beautiful plating of the food — the roasted cauliflower (Arnibit), falafel, and baba ghanouj were delicious appetizers; among the mains, we loved the shrimp and lamb skewers, while the mixed grill offered a variety of meats; for dessert, the Knaef was a sweet and decadent standout. The prices here are on a slightly higher end, but the exceptional quality of the food makes it well worth it.“
“Reminded me of my gramma’s Eastern European home cooking: delicious beet soup, goat cheese & beet salad, veal meatballs, mashed potatoes and apple kuka (strudel-like cake)! Although people rave about the beef stroganoff, the beef was dry & stringy and I had to add a lot of salt & pepper. Also, the cabbage rolls had tasty tomato sauce and lots of meat & rice but just a wafer-thin cabbage wrapping.“
“This place is a secret GEM! The food is cooked to perfection and the texture of everything including the meat and salads is amazing. We ordered a lot of things for a birthday party and EVERYTHING was awesome. This place is a MUST TRY for everyone!“
“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!“
“The food was delicious. The chef really puts his whole heart into the food, a very large selection. When it comes to alcohol, there is wine and beer if you feel like it. The restaurant is very nice and spacious. There is room for more people. Large parking lot.“
“It was one of the best breakfasts I have had in a long time. Everything we ate was seasoned perfectly, and the sausage and bacon were delicious. They have huge breakfast sausage links that are incredible. The hash browns and pancakes were served in small portions. Wish they were served with larger portions on the plate. Service was on point, fast and different people kept checking on us. I'm definitely coming back.“
“To start: edamame, Xiao Long Bao, scallion pancakeShared meal: orange beef, dan dan noodles, cashew chickenEverything was so delicious! We wanted a bit of heat and were able to get great dishes and control the spicy level. This place is worth trying to find parking.“
“5 of 5 I got lunch in Bensenville I saw this on Instagram Chalupas and cenitas Chalupas homemade tortillas red & green salsa onions and quesi fresco delicious I also ordered the cemita especial with homemade Chipotles I miss the papalo on it Was huge. I eat 1/2, and I take the other half home I will be back soon to try the molcajete The staff and service on point Thanks, see you soon again This restaurant is located in the plaza in the corner next to the dollar tree“
“HIGHLY recommend. Their salads are delicious, ample sized and super reasonably priced. I usually can split it into two servings, and even my husband gets full after one of the salads! The space is clean and cute.I also did the January challenge and it kept me alive haha. Now I usually place a pickup order on Sundays for a couple salads to get through the week. If you're looking for a local spot with healthy food that's easy - cannot emphasize this place enough.“
“This is a great place to pick up a quick lunch. Prices are fair and I love that the soups constantly differ. Usually when I go I pick up a cold soup from the fridge as well! I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad soup. Sandwiches are a bit lacking in my opinion. Ice cream is also amazing. Not the biggest space so I usually treat it as a grab and go more but there are a few tables available.“
“Y’all need to visit Taverna Naxos in Wilmette and have an Aphrodite‘s Kiss made by Rosanna. It’s their Greek version of an Old Fashioned and is truly fantastic. Follow that up with the Baby Back Ribs (no bbq sauce in sight or needed) and you’ll be anxious to return. Say hi to Naxos’s manager, Suzanne, who will make sure you enjoy your visit.“
“One of the best experiences I've ever had dining. Jimmy the owner is an absolute legend and made us feel like family from the second we walked in. If you're a local from the city or thinking about visiting from the suburbs please make the trip. We'll be back very soon!“
“Had a wonderful dinner here!!!! We were not served by the robot BUT IT WAS VERY EXCITING!!!I had the crunchy noodles and they were delicious, once I figured out how to eat them. I had them with chicken and they were good!My friend had seafood rice soup, others mentioned but the seafood was cooked a bit longThe spring rolls were delicious and I loooved the peanut sauceAlso very good thai ice tea!“
“Just had the best service ever! Gina was our waitress and she was such a sweetheart. More places need workers like her. We'll be back specifically for her! Thank you! Highly recommend her as your server. Made our experience here so much more enjoyable.“
“I biked from Rodgers Park just to get my favorite sandwich, the Balboa. I love this place and the owner is super friendly. Service is fast and the taste is some of the best in the city. I always pick up a bottle of their secret sauce when I am here too it goes great on everything. Try the new lentil soup ?“
“6 of us went , all ordered different entrees & all agreed it was the best "_____" we ever had.ordered potstickers, egg rolls & greenbeens for the table & they're the best in the city. Jimmy (the owner) has been doing it great since the 80“
“Perfect outdoor sitting for a warm day in Chicago. We just came for a horchata, but as soon as we saw "plátanos en mole", we had to try it. They brought plantains, with panela cheese and mole... so delicious and unique! We'll have to come back soon.“
“The atmosphere is very calm. The food tastes fresh. You can see them through the window as they are preparing so it puts your mind at ease with the cleaniness. The servers are very thorough, they came by a few times to make sure everything was good. Over all, it was a good experience. We cant wait to see more exciting items on their menu“
“What a fantastic little place this is! They’ve recently changed their name and revamped their concept, but it’s the same owners and the same great tasting food. They’ve added cocktails to their menu and I had a hard time deciding what to order because they all sounded good. My favorites are the spicy watermelon and the al pastor margarita (yes, you read that right…it’s outstanding!). The little details too are what I appreciate. They make almost everything in-house, and the chef repurposes everything he can, even using the rind of the watermelons to make candy. Reasonable prices and a quaint atmosphere. You really can’t go wrong here!“
“Atmosphere is quite interesting. I was in the indoor but it felf like we are sitting at outside lolWell in which we had good dinner time.Foods are overall good. My kiddos had 2nd dish after finished first bowl real quick.Tendon dish was super good with Soju but it’s very pricey.“
“The Best Pho in and near Chicago!This place is really a Hidden Gem! The food Quality is Superior to Pho Restaurants in the Downtown Area and in China town!The owner really know what he is doing and they provide a generous Military Discount.I love this place and I recommend it in any type of weather also try the iced coffee!!!Vegetarian options: Options for Everyone !!Parking: It's is located right next to wing stop !!! In a small shopping plaza on the Westside of Harlem Ave.“
“We love coming here to pick up breakfast (quiche and baked goods) to go or sitting on the patio when weather permits. The service is always friendly and the baked goods and quiche are always fresh! Coffee is great too! Really appreciate this neighborhood staple. Highly recommend the blueberry and raspberry almond scones, blueberry muffins and pumpkin or gingerbread muffins.“
“Jak sie masz??? (in Borat accent) Andy's Deli is the greatest Polish Deli on earth! If I lived in Chicago I'd be here all the time. This is Polish food heaven -- why spend the money going to Poland when you can have all the best food of Poland RIGHT HERE? Minimal English spoken here.....it's the real deal! We regularly order a package of Polish goods from Andy's to arrive just in time for Easter (FEDEX 2 day) . One time we received the package late and everything had increased to ambient temperature. Andy's was gracious enough to send a new package at no charge (about $100 worth of foods). Shipping foods to California is not that cheap because of the shipping charges and mandatory cooling packs, but when the sausages arrive here it's such a treat! Check them out online for orders to your state. I finally visited here in person while visiting Chicago ....and it's such a fantastic spot -- everything you could ever imagine Polish food wise -- from periogi to kapusta to bigos to sausages. Kielbasa heaven!Love this place and wish we had something like this in CA!“
“After 3pm on Monday through Wednesday I believe it is they have half of bagels. So we went and got bagels! The bagels here are decent and I like the cream cheese and tuna options. They sell Leonard's bakery goodies, mostly important the coffee cake. Yummmmmmm!!“
“I just got off an 11 hour plane ride from Japan. Lucky's hit the spot. They don't skimp out on the servings and the food is delicious and freshly cooked. Just what I needed! The staff was nice and noticed they greeted their regulars by name and talked to them. The place is clean and comfortable.“
“this place is awesome. I tried both the lemongrass pork and coco special banh mi and they were both great. the flavors & meat-bread ratio made them some of the better Vietnamese sandwiches I’ve had in the city. not too heavy but still filling.“
“We had been out all day and wanted a quick bite before heading home. We were at Jarvis Sq. tavern and decided to try New Luzzat. The potato samosas were good but the chicken biryani was fantastic. Rice was tasty with lots of whole chicken pieces. Enough that we may have leftovers. Will definitely pickup from here again.“
“This restaurant seems to have more carry out business than customers dining there. The service isn't the friendliest, but i think this is more a cultural/language thing than rudeness. The woman will show you how to properly combine items on table to eat the dish. There is a tv, but only Korean shows are on with no closed captioning. The owners are cordial to korean speaking patrons. It's been this way for years, but i still choose to eat here. I wish the menus provided dish names in English, besides the Korean names. The food tastes good and prices are fair.Parking: Small parking lot, free wirh wheelchair parking.“

“Their Italian ice is the best we've tried by far. It's very flavorful, perfect texture and refreshing.So far I've tried strawberry, lemon, grape and lime. All are excellent. I can't wait to try the other flavors.After trying Little Lulu's Ice, I finally understand why people get so excited about Italian ice. This is far superior to others I've tried.“
“My favorite place to grab lunch in the suburbs- Mary Jo and Themis are so welcoming and make you feel like family. I especially love being able to get a quick meal on my lunch break without needing to worry about the ingredients in my food. Their soup and gyros are the real deal! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“
“I grew up in Chicago but my grandparents & mom are from Poland. This is the ONLY deli that my grandfather would buy sausages, ham, head cheese etc. from. He took me with him from the time I was a little girl. I now live in Las Vegas and the Polish Deli here buys all their sausages & deli meats from Andy's Deli in Chicago because it's THE BEST! I just put in another order & I can't wait to get it... the delicious smells take me back to my childhood & happy memories of my grandfather & me shopping for delicious sausages, ham, Polish Rye bread & poppy seed cake! I'm just thrilled that Andy's has an online deli to order all these goodies from!!! If you want THE BEST EASTER HAM, order it from Andy's.... Polish ham is lean & delicious & in my opinion, the best tasting ham out there! Check out their impressive website as you don't have to be Polish or speak it to order online... everything is clearly described along with color photos of the product. I wish shipping costs were cheaper but the taste of the sausages etc. is worth it!!! Their prices are actually very reasonable compared to delis I've shopped in town & none of them are as good as Andy's for authentic Polish sausages, hams, bread or bakery goods!“

“I absolutely LOVE this place. They have a keto friendly side of their menu as well as soul food and fast food, hence the name Splyt N Half. They offer detox teas and a option for personalized healthy meal plans after a one on one consultation. This place is so much more than just a restaurant. It is a whole health wellness eatery. The food is absolutely delectable. Everything that I've had so far has been delicious and did not disappoint. I highly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: They offer keto friendly foods, vegetarian options, as well as personalized meal options.“
“One of the best food places at this mall. The customer service was amazing, the lady was so sweet. Food was amazing i’ve been there many times and it never ever disappoints. Tacos are soo good, The bowls are delicious and the Tamales are good. Love everything about this definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: Good options for vegetarians like the rest of my family really enjoy“

“The food here is outstanding! The donkatsu and stir fry were completely delicious. I'm excited to try more dishes. The ingredients taste fresh with plenty of flavor. Everyone is friendly, and my server, Anna, was very hospitable. I will be back! ?“
“It is difficult to find Khao Soi on a Thai menu. It’s a northern Thai dish I fell in love with when I was there and it is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour and spicy with crunch. Its on the menu here although called “Evanston Noodles” be sure to go and check it out!“
“I had not been to this Olive Garden location in years and was pleasantly surprised at how updated and modern the decor was. Seating was fast and the service was great. I had a chicken dish that was nicely prepared, along with the famous, delicious breadsticks. I tried two soups as part of my meal, and those were the only disappointment. They seemed less flavorful and less full of the good meat/vegetable ingredients than before, as if they are being stretched by adding more broth to save money. All in all, though, it was a good experience and I would go back for sure.“
“Went looking for a Clam Chowder last week and found it at Starship. My husband and I enjoyed it- it was so delicious. It was slightly creamy and had a wonderful amount of clams and potatoes in it. The best part was the bit of “heat” in the chowder. For me the heat manifested itself at the back of the throat, a lovely warm sensation. ( maybe pepper?) The chowder was seasoned perfectly, the texture was great and they are always generous with the bread and crackers. Best clam chowder I have had outside of Boston. I almost felt guilty enjoying my meal so much on a Friday in lent, did not feel like I was giving up anything?it was That good!“
“Great overall experience. We ordered food to go and there was a mixup. Liz, the manager was extremely attentive and made it right. Everyone, from the person who took our order (though she misunderstood my order), the food preparers and the manager Liz were all very kind and helpful. Thank you again Liz. We'll be back!“

“Meat pierogi are some of the best I've out outside of Poland. Potato pancakes are thicker, like they should be. And the sour soup was actually sour and not watered down for inexperienced palates (-:Kid-friendliness: Brought a stroller and breastfed during dinner no problem“
