“I had heard a ton about this place and was excited to go. Wait time on a Friday was surprisingly short. Restaurant was busy but not loud. Seating was comfortable.The fried gyoza were a bit limp. They needed a little bit more time in the pan to crisp up the wrapper.The steak was awesome, great quality, lightly seared, fantastic sauce on a bed of micro greens and tomatoes.The sake refresher was tasty. The Tokyo white beer was very good and easy to drink. A great pairing for the meal.We got the monster ramen and the vegetarian miso ramen. It was good. The monster ramen had kind of a sweetness to it which was kind of odd but not unenjoyable. The chili oil is definitely worth the add on. The miso was a bit light, but very good.For desert, jenivees makes their cupcakes. The matcha yuzu cupcake was good, but a little strong on yuzu. But it didn't hold a candle to the ube with young coconut. Probably the best cupcake I've ever had.“
“A long overdue review. Noodlebird is one of the best restaurants in Chicago. Every dish is full-flavored, bold, and made with thoughtful and creative pairings. The smoked tofu is incredible, the curry is my favorite, the peanut noodles are so soft and delicious, and the veggie Mac soup is one of my favorites. The bakery is also one of the best in the city.The creative desserts like mochi doughnuts, banana caramel brownie (my favorite brownie ever), the egg tarts (a must if you’ve never tried), the passion fruit Masada, and so many more are the perfect way to end the meal.The service is top notch, timely, super friendly, and warm.Noodlebird deserves any and all accolades for its super-creative dishes, friendly service, intensely flavored food, etc.“
“We live very close by and were so excited to discover we have one of the tastiest Thai spots in the city within walking distance. Only give the atmosphere 4 stars because it's a teeny tiny restaurant but it's comfortable and when the weather is nice, their patio is cute! But we typically do takeout since it's so easy and close by. The owners and everyone who works there has always been friendly and kind. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Many dishes - noodles and curry - offer a selection for the type of protein so many can be made vegetarian with choosing the option of either tofu or just vegetables.Kid-friendliness: Friendly and allowing of children. My 3 year old daughter loves the chicken satay!“
“I had no idea this was up the street from me. Aroi Mahk! The ingredients are really fresh and no weird additives, just good fresh Thai seasonings and flavors. I tried the Tom Kha and it was rich and delicious, all the protein and vegetables perfectly tender. The spicy basil is phet nit noy (just kidding, it's phet mahk but aroi mahk!). Looking forward to making this a regular stop for dinner now I know it exists.“
“The people were so friendly, very talkative..it reminded me of how Greek families of old ran their own businesses. The food is amazing in look, style presentation and taste. Alot of selections and the first time I tried the coconut ice cream with strawberries my tongue was in love. Love this place.“
“This might be our go to now for seolluntang and galbitang! The flavors are light and you can season to taste with the salt on the table. The seolluntang was delightful, perfectly balanced and flavorful. It’s pretty big inside, at least much bigger than it looks on the outside. I would guess there are maybe 10 tables? We came around 11:10 and were the only people inside, but within 30 min the restaurant started to fill up! I can see parking getting tight though there’s parking around the back too where the laundromat is. If you ever get desperate, you can also park at the Hmart next door and walk over.Kid-friendliness: Open space insideWheelchair accessibility: The entire restaurant is flat and wheelchair can be pushed right to the table“
“This is a great place for maki rolls... The service was very good. I love the fact you ordered your food and it came to the table fresh, great concept for buffet. Abit of advice go hungry and with more the 2 people for the buffet. Going back soon to try other foods for sure.“
“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.“
“Good experience. It was busy, but we got our order fairly quickly. The food was hot and delicious. Pot stickers were perfectly crisp, the fried rice actually had flavor. Will be back for sure.Parking: Parking in the garage behind is free if you park less than an hour. There is an entrance to the restaurant from the alley.“
“Blufish is a hit in our house, the go-to for sushi. What stands out? The fish-to-rice ratio—it’s just perfect, ensuring every bite is packed with fresh, delicious fish. We’re big fans of their nigiri and usually pick a roll or two to complete the meal. A must-try is the house salad with extra ginger sauce, big enough to share and a real standout. For two people, ordering nigiri, a roll, and the salad, the cost comes around thirty-five dollars per person, without drinks. This place is a gem for sushi lovers.“
“Manooben is a gem of a Japanese spot, with its cozy house-like ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. I indulged in their scrumptious udon, which was delightfully light and not too overpowering, along with their crispy tempura. The experience was made even better by the kind and attentive service from the lady who took care of me. Highly recommend this place for a solo dining experience that feels like home.“
“Just ordered take out,got it home, and opened it up. The first thing I noticed is that it is very lightly sauced. I mean very,but it packs a Whole lot of flavor. All of the ingredients where fresh. I mean, I wanted to drive back over there just to tell them how good the food was.“
“First time ordering and it was decent. The veggie egg roll were good but the sauce was thin and watery. The fried pot stickers were good. The paid Thai was what you would expect and the fried rice was good. I will try again and try other things too.“
“New spot in the neighborhood! Restaurant’s decor is simple yet very roomy, an ideal spot for those who dislike to be enclosed or squished. It’s family owned restaurant so the atmosphere was very comfortably and quiet.Food was phenomenal, fresh and delicious! But most importantly reasonable priced. The service was friendly and fast. We had Pho and broth was rich and aromatic filled with lots of toppings. We also had Bo La Lot which was beautifully presented. Then we also had Bun Cha Ha Noi, amazing and authentic. Bun bo hue was delicious. I can say that all dishes taste great. It’s must try restaurant!“
“The atmosphere is old school Thai restaurant , with framed travel posters and Christmas decorations. I enjoy that kind of atmosphere in a Thai restaurant because it helps me feel like I’m getting the real article- I am not into a place that looks super fancy and serves small portions that have a lot of sugar in them. Thai food here was ample and spicy! Nathan’s Noodles serves authentic Thai food- all of the classics- and has been around a while in Elmhurst. Most of the customers order take out and don’t dine in, but they may have just been the time we were there. There was a steady stream of customers and delivery drivers picking up orders, so that’s always a good thing! The food was delicious and the portions were large. The service was great.Parking: Strip mall with easy parking.“
“So far this is my favorite sushi place in Chicago. The food is phenomenal and reasonably priced. The service is fantastic as well.One small thing: every now and then I’ll get a plate with some very pretty artwork on it made from the sauce. I don’t always get it, but I really appreciate whoever is taking the time to make it!“
“Don’t let the name fool you. This place is as authentic as anything you’ll find on Argyle. They have all the usual dishes but come here to try something less common. I had the crab rangoon and liked their homemade version of this typical guilty pleasure dish. Then I had Bún Riêu which was light and flavorful. It’s attached to a Filipino grocery and seafood store, and some other Filipino and Asian food stalls, restaurants, and bakeries so there’s lots to explore and taste.“
“Great, fast dinner. Best dishes are Cantonese, but they make versions of Szechuan and Hunan specialties. Very good wonton soup, as you'd expect of their namesake. Did I mention fast. Carry out orders usually ready in 5-10 minutes. Nice to dine in or carry out.“
“Been coming here for some many times and the food always served hot fresh and fast..food tastes always amazing portion and prices reasonable..if you love wonton with noddles this is your place..serve with different topping your choice price varies..always serve hot“
“With so many Chinese/Asian options, Katy's Dumplings- Oak Park can easily be missed. But don't! Don't miss out on good quality food with reasonable pricing and good portions. Our go to is definitely their General Taos Chicken. It manages to remain crispy and saucy at the same time! It has a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Their noodle dishes are also amazing! Great flavor and so filling! Our son loves their noodles and their fried rice!“
“I've been going to Akai Hana since I was a little kid. It's the place I look forward to most in the North Shore area! The sushi is always fresh and the noodle dishes are exceptionally good. I love the spicy beef nabeyaki udon and cold udon especially. My sister and brother love the udon noodle soup. The service is always great here, and the restaurant is clean and pleasant. I love it and will continue to be a returning customer for as long as I can be!“
“This place is absolutely delicious!! Had the Mentai Cream Sauce Udon and it was BOMB -- I loved it. At first glace, it looks basic but it is extremely flavorful and the garnishes (green onions, sprouts, cheese, tempura bits) added to the dish well. It was creamy but not too heavy. I would order extra udon next time to soak up the leftover sauce.“
“Guaranteed to be the best Chinese restaurant in town. The owner is constantly buying fresh ingredients to insure the best quality.I've lived in China and this place definitely can have the authentic taste.Asian kitchen Express has vegan, and vegetarian options which a lot of other restaurants will not want to provide. Everything is made to orderVegetarian options: Veggies, tofu in every way you imagine“
“This place really goes out of their way to take care of their customers! I arrived 15 minutes after closing and the owner of the restaurant, Fawn, still let me order and personally took care of preparing my food. When trying to give her a tip, she wouldn't even accept it - solely to be nice. The menu and food are both amazing - all around wonderful experience. I wish more restaurant owners and staff were as caring as they are here.“
“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!“
“I used to live in Oak Park for 5 years and this was our go-to place. Amazing food and great service. The noodle soups are the best soup in OP, hands down! I've tried both the beef and chicken and equally great. Everything I'm back in the area, this is a must-go!!!“
“This place was clean, warm, and friendly. I ordered rare steak phó. No one seems to actually serve it rare anymore, though. I used to love it when the meat came to the table in a place raw and separate from the broth. Perhaps it's different in different places.The broth was bland, like it hadn't had a chance to simmer long enough for the spices to meld. It's a popular place, though. As I sat there, more and more families arrived to fill this place up. So maybe I'll give this place a try. There is nothing like finding YOUR Phó spot that you can rely on for *really - good - pho*. I'll be back to try again.“
“The food is always delicious. They offer so much more than the traditional orange chicken. We try to get a new item every time we order, and we have yet to be disappointed in the menu offerings. The delivery is speedy. It's a great local spot.“
“An absolute gem! Siam's House Thai Restaurant offers an exceptional lunch buffet from 11AM-3PM for just $18.95 per person. The food is not only fresh but also made to order, providing a delightful array of flavors. The egg rolls, potstickers, papaya salad, Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, and spicy basil leaf dishes were all incredibly delicious. The option to choose between watermelon or oranges is a refreshing touch. Moreover, the opportunity to add $5 for unlimited curry is an outstanding deal. The value for the quality and quantity of food is unmatched. I highly recommend Siam's House for an outstanding dining experience! Great Vegetarian options! Can even ask for everything to be vegetarian too! Much better since the last set ups since they make everything fresh!!!“
“I love the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese, and this location is nearest my home. The service here has always been very good from my experience here. For quite some time, they were making the Mac and Cheese inconsistently. It would often be dry. I mentioned that in my previous review, and since then, I've noticed a marked difference. The food has been much more consistent. I think this is just another example of the great service here. They are paying attention to customer feedback. Thank you so much!“
