“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!”

“Another great meal at moto imōto. I stopped in to have a drink before dinner with friends and Kaylee was our delightful bartender. She was knowledgeable and very attentive. She’s very friendly and a great fit for the restaurant. When I was seated for dinner Tyler was my server. Excellent service and very knowledgeable of the menu. Kudos to the kitchen staff - my appetizer and meal were not only brought to my table immediately, but tasted wonderful. It was a busy Mother’s Day dinner service, but everything seemed to run very smoothly. As I watched the rest of the staff, everyone seemed friendly and attentive to the diners. Moto imōto is one of my favorite restaurants in town and I will continue to come back again and again.”

Mediterranean • $
“We finally made it in after having this saved in my special places to try… and it was like the stars aligned! Stopped by for an early lunch. Incredibly sweet and friendly service. The hot tea was served in a beautiful tea pot with tiny glass cups. We had lentil and spinach soups, lots of flavor. Kebobs, falafel, shawarma all absolutely mouth watering. As a special treat two bites of baklava ❤️ Wonderful food and people.”

Japanese • $
“Lovely service! Immediately as we walked in, we were greeted with inviting service and a very tidy nice atmosphere! Our service was great! Our waiter was attentive, kind and patient, and our food was delicious, to say the least. Flavorful, fresh ingredients in each bite! I totally recommend going here to try authentic ramen!”
Ramen • $
“Ive been to 2 other Chicago Ramen spots and this had the best service and atmosphere by far.
I tried the king of sea tsukemen. As its own thing it was just ok, not bad, not amazing.
I was really hoping for a fishy pork tsukemen (tonkatsu gyokai?) and what I got wasn't that. I wouldn't order it again and its unfortunate that this location doesn't do their normal menu because I would be back at this convenient location so often for their normal tsukemen. (Or gyokai, but I can dream)
Hopefully they'll move this menu to one of their northern locations where there are more nearby options!”
Chicken Wings • $
“Great food!! Really innovative take on wings and other related items. The food is fresh, large portions and very tasty. For a first visit I just tried classic buffalo wings and we had an order of tenders as well. They were really good! The sauces and dips add great flavor to already great tasting food. Boba is such a fun drink and this place delivers some great variations. We had the Coconut and Pina Colada. I'm really looking forward to diving into the menu further and picking up some catering for family events at home. You should absolutely stop by and add it to your local regular stop or make it a destination.”

“First and foremost, the customer service from employees and especially Christian was superb! Your homemade sauces are the best I have had in a long time and everyone needs to know about this place! I went there today just to get some ranch dressing because it is on point and what ranch at it's best tastes like. Clean establishment, comfortable, simple and amazing food with kind and compassionate employees. Props to you all and I hope everyone in St.Charles trys your restaurant. This should not be left a secret... GO THERE AND TRY IT YOURSELF! THEY GOT IT GOING ON! Thank you and GOD BLESS”
Bakery • $
“I’ve been coming here off and on for the past 20 years. The past five years, they have done an amazing job improving the quality of their product. My 10-year-old daughter also likes going and picking out all the specialty donuts here. Whenever you buy a dozen donuts, they always throw in a few extras. Been extremely happy with them.”

“4 🌟 due to breadsticks. Otherwise, it would be 3. Service was okay. No italian music where we were sitting. All we were hearing were dishes, loud teens, and the kitchen. I ask the waiter what happened to the music in this section. He said he hadn't noticed but was going to check. Nothing came of it. I turned on italian music on my phone. The couple next to me said good choice. Will not return to this location.”

They have a special right now $2.99 smoothies with any non breakfast food purchase from 3-9pm, so my sandwich and smothie cost me what a meal at mcdonalds would have been.

Thank God there are still some friendly humans in our communities. This man had an excellent attitude and personality, and provided great service. I will be back in the near future. Thank you to everyone working at this location.”

Mexican • $
“The owners are lovely humans, and they make authentic and delicious dishes. There is outdoor and indoor seating. You will need to order before you sit down, and they bring it to you. Pick up after yourself, please! I noticed a bathroom indoor, but I am unsure if there is a changing table, or if it easily accessible for wheelchairs.
The space is decorated with just the right amount of charm and you can truly tell the people working really enjoy what they do. Five stars!!! Highly recommend”

“Listen, it's still a far cry from DP's original vision of Chicago street food. While I'd like to complement them on menu expansion and "franchise expansion" they are trying to rush a simple formula tried and true. It seems now more than ever, that they are more concerned with trinket expansion than food improvement. Service is still slow, which I could accept, if the food was still on point. Crisp fries are now soggy, orders are repeadly not right, and overall experience is missing the mark. I have hope, and still recommend Portillos to OUT visitors. That said, they can do better.”
