“We buy crispy smelt to go here and those are the best! So cruspy even the nect day. Second time we dined in last night. All the food we ordered are authentic chinese and so delicious. We ordered hongkong steak, kung pao chicken- perfectly cooked and the sauce and spiciness is not overpowering.; yeong chow fried rice is yummy too, salt and pepper chicken is not what we expected. We were expecting a chicken but this is chicken strips covered in batter but it turned out really good too. Service is fast and tge owner is akways nice. The place is a typical chinese restaurant with round rables and booth. They just need to remove the table where they put the bakery products, it's just in the way when you walk to the tables.“
“Part 5 of 5 Memorial Day weekend APIHM series.I came especially for their not-so-stinky tofu. For those who are not familiar, it is deep-fried fermented tofu topped with spicy sauce and Szechuan pickled cabbage. Although it is not stinky as it should be, I enjoyed it nevertheless. The beef tendon noodle soup with handmade noodles was aromatic and delicious. We also tried the spicy seafood udon noodle soup which was equally tasty. They offer weekend breakfasts such as soy milk, youtian (Chinese fried dough), congee, and soybean jello just to name a few. You can also purchase a variety of frozen dumplings (50 pc) to cook at home.Service was friendly and swift considering the number of customers they have. The little boy at the register offered to pack the noodle and soup separately for my long trip home. Now, that's what I call customer service. Nicely done, young man!“

“Most in our group had a wonderful meal...chicken sandwiches, and tuna poke bowl. Also flatbread appetizer and brownie dessert were wonderful. However my quinoa burger was not very good. First of all it fell apart when, after cutting in half, I tried to pick it up. And just not much flavor. Was disappointed in that. Other issue was that most everyone had a taste for pasta, and mac and cheese was the only pasta option.“

“First timer here and I will be back. Great service— perhaps due to time of day and it not being busy— but the servers were constantly asking/making sure I had enough side dishes and/or if I needed anything else.My meal came with refillable tea which was very nice. I got the bulgogi bento box and it was really delicious and worth the money for everything I got on my plate. I would love to try some of their other staple dishes as well.The vibe of the place was nice; they had k-pop music playing and a very clean aesthetic. I’ll def add this restaurant to my rotating list of staple places to eat at.“
“The Pho was so good! I had the pho with shrimp and I added some Tofu.I came here based on other people’s review and I was not disappointed. I’ve been to one other place that was quiet underwhelming so I needed to get it right this time ? I added some extra hot sauce to make it very spicy and I was good to go. I recommend.I forgot to ask for the server’s name but he’s one of the most pleasant server I’ve ever met! So Thank you for much.“
“I have never had a bad meal from Gnarly. I have been going here for a few months now and I'm just obsessed. Do yourself a favor and check out the specials. Their barista is a freaking genius when it comes to their specialty drinks. I would eat here everyday if I could. If you love soft pretzels gnarly is the place to be.“
“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“
“Fantastic breakfast & lunch spot! I've mostly had their breakfast; I only ate lunch here once. But all of our visits were consistently excellent. The breakfast menu is terrific, and every dish I've tried has been great. I especially love their waffles & pancakes (I actually get cravings for them). I especially ❤️ their fresh squeezed orange juice, and try their orange strawberry juice for a really nice twist. Staff is always attentive, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommended!It can get busy (especially weekends) with extended wait times for tables depending on the size of your party. Sometimes it is better to go at off-hours (late morning) on weekends to avoid large crowds.It's also near some of the best shopping in all of Chicago if you plan to make a day of visiting the Lombard/ Oakbrook shopping mecca!Parking: Plenty of parking, but during busy, high volume times you may have to park on the street, but always spaces somewhere close.“
“So I was literally at work like a normal day (service porter) and I had to drop off the owner to zoup. I had no intention in getting food but he offered me a free meal. I loved the food and will definitely bring friends and family to visit. If you like Panera this is waaaaay better! You’ll love zoup!!!!Kid-friendliness: There was no cursing or bad vibes. This is most definitely a family environment!“
“I never write reviews but this one was warranted. The service here was excellent and the turnaround was fast but the Carnitas were outstanding!!! My husband had a gordita de asada and it was exceptional. We'll be coming back for the Pozole on Saturday!! Highly recommended this place.“
“Today we tried the Thanksgiving dinner and it was so delicious. The turkey was so juicy and the cranberries were delicious. The stuffing and mashed patotes were also delicious .We go in at least once a week and everything we have had from here has been delicious. Thanks to all the great staff there for being so nice and making such great gluten free food. By the way the Turkey and wild rice soup is to die for“
“I'm most likely writing the servers name wrong but Giovanna was absolutely great. Food was very deliciousPasta Alfredo, steak, salad, and kids meal was very very good.Server was very attentive to us, got us refills without even asking us making sure we were taken care off. This was our first time at the lombard location and this was a 5 star experience. We will definitely be back.Calamari was excellent ?“

“Food is tasty, service is phenomenal and the owners Marilou & Ernie are Welcoming and Great! They seem to care about their customers and building those long lasting relationships with the Filipino community, Sometimes I feel like I am actually a part of their family like a nephew or something! ? I must say, Enjoying my meal while OPM is playing, makes me feel like I’m in the phillipines! Sir Lakay the head chef and kuya Chan really know how to throw down in the kitchen! Some of My favorite dishes are the Crispy Binagoongan, Pancit Sotanghon(on the dry side with extra lemons! I like my pancit Maasim) Pinakbet, Chicken Inasal with Java and the Crispy Pata Kare-Kare with bagoong on the side for that savory, satisfying, crunchy, salty bite! Ate Gina who works in the bar is super awesome too! She is always fun to talk to with a good sense of humor and positive outlook on life she makes the best and prettiest looking desserts! Sometimes when I dine I get to see Jovi I think he also goes by Jmic and Carl those guys are cool! ? what I love the most about Hong Ning is how they are very family oriented, you feel at home when you come to dine with your friends and families. I’ve tried other Filipino restos in Chicago, and trust me I will always without a doubt love Hong Ning the most, It’s also super cool how many famous Filipino artistas have dined in there so far including myself! Charot, by the way you have to try their Chomporado made by Mae! The rice has a unique texture to it and the chocolate is decadent! Yeah yeah sure sure!“
“The food and ambiance was amazing. To start the complimentary chips and salsa was very good. Although some chips were a little too salty. I had the Taco platter (carne asada and 2 chicken tinga), double rice (no beans). The carne asada was a tad dry, while the chicken tinga was delicious! The rice was good, but a tad bland and required a healthy dose of salsa. Service was good, but slow at times. Overall, very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant.“
“This place is great! We've been ordering here once a week for a least the last 6 weeks. Orders are ALWAYS correct. Food is consistently good. Service is on point, friendly and upbeat. We haven't eaten inside the restaurant however when picking up, all areas you can see are clean and well maintained.“
“We came in today for a quick bite and we just ordered Alfredo pasta the food was great however our server Stephen was exceptional. Stephen almost could anticipate exactly what we needed before we even asked. Everything was refilled and refreshed very often.Wheelchair accessibility: My grandma has a Walker and the place was easily accesible.“
“It was my first time eating African food. Didn't know what to get. So I asked the worker behind the counter what food he would recommend. He gave me his opinion and I rolled with it. To my surprise the food he recommended was delicious seasoned well and full of flavor. The FuFu was my favorite part so fun to eat, the Plantains were good but it's an acquired taste- didn't finish. The drinks were refreshing one surprising drink was called Sobolo made from Hibiscus flower, A natural drink with Natural ingredients only had 9 ingredients but watch out the Ginger has a kick that sneaks up on you kinda like Wasabi. Only thing I disliked was the bone was still in the fish kinda made it a chore to eat it... 10/10 customer service 10/10 clean restaurant 8/10 food. Also there's enough room for Bob tail Trucks to park in front of the restaurant if you need to pull in with a trailer attached there's room in the back but I wouldn't recommend staying back there because deliveries need to be made“
“Since New Wok hasn't reopened and prices at House of Emperor have slowly been raised thru the roof, we tried here and got 4 dishes we have ordered at many Chinese take out places or even in Chinatown. Here we go: Chicken Chop Suey-excellent! Sauce is tasty, plenty of bean sprouts and pea pods, good amount of tender chicken, trimmed nicely of any fat. Beef Fried Rice-very good. Although it had yellow onion instead of the more normal green onion, and scrambled egg was kinda sparse. Still very good. Beef With Broccoli-would have also been excellent except it had sweetness, I have always hated sugar added to my Americanized Chinese food. BBQ Pork Egg Foo Yung-same comment as the beef with broccoli. The gravy for the egg foo was VERY sweet. Too sweet for me! The only option is large which is 3 paddys not the usual 4. I think without the sugar it would have been very good. Purely take out here, it was obvious they used to have a sit down business at some point but not now. Extensive menu, see their website and either phone order or online order.“
“Everything was great as usual however almost broke a tooth on an olive pit in my salad! I was more cautious with the rest of the olives and found another pit! Never had that happen at the OG before. Pretty dangerous. Hope it was just a fluke.“
“Whenever we have cravings for sushi or some softshell crab and deep fried tonkatsu. We actually drive to Lombard just for that. Delicious food. Their dine in is closed after Covid. But Stanley lets us grab a table to eat our fill. 3 words DE-Li-Cious“
“Always a must stop on my way to or from the Brookfield Zoo. I don't live in the area any more, but when I visit I always try to hit up Mr. Submarine. I don't know what it is, because at face value the ingredients are just OK. But when you get that shredded lettuce soaked with vinegar and oregano, and the not quite sure what kind of cheese it is, mixed with a true sub roll and solid deli meat. It's a beautiful thing. And the grumpy guy behind the counter, he's been there for 30 years. Different faces over the years, but it's the same guy. Just part of the experience. Never change Mr. Submarine.“
“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.“
“A coworker and I went there to get a soup bread bowl by the time we walked over to the drink counter to get our drinks they were done with our order it was amazingly delicious drinks were awesome service was friendly place was clean great atmosphere I highly recommend! It was a good value for the money.“
“Glad to come back after years of going to Noodles and Company. Menu had been streamlined and the food is just as good, if not better. Service was great. Staff is friendly and responsive to needs and questions. Definitely will be back since they are closer to home than the three other locationsVegetarian options: They have Zoodles!Parking: Dozen spotsWheelchair accessibility: No stairsDietary restrictions: Ask and they can accommodate within reason“
“Every time we come in the service is phenomenal. Todd and all the other bartenders always work together & create an amazing atmosphere. The food is always perfect & drinks spot on. We love making this location our date night!! Keep up the great “
“Placed a large mobile order to celebrate my team’s accomplishment (Wild Fire Harley) and my buddy George at the local Panera had everything ready and waiting for me a little early. It was packaged perfectly and had everything that I needed from cups to creamer to napkins. My team was super excited and super thankful and George was a rockstar! Thank you, Panera, job well done!“
“Almost everything is home made. Everything I’ve eaten here is fantastic. If it was located closer to me I’d probably eat here once or more a week. No alcohol. I recommend any dumpling. Big bowl wonton soup is 10/5. Huge huge bang for your buck. My only regret is having one stomach ?.Dietary restrictions: They ask if you have any dietary restrictions and are willing to accommodate.Parking: Big parking lot plenty of spacesWheelchair accessibility: On flat level ground.“
