Excellent choices of seafood and other non-traditional dishes. My wife said that her seafood burrito would be on her last meal request! Ha! More pricey than a regular Mexican restaurant but worth it.

Lao Sze Chuan Aurora 4309 E New York St, Aurora Chinese • $

“Lao Sichuan has the most authentic and consistently amazing Chinese food to be found anywhere in the U.S. Having spent some time living in China while I was in undergrad, there are certain flavors that I crave, which your run of the mill American style Chinese restaurant will not have. My wife and I live in St Charles and make the 1 hour 20 minute round trip at least once a week to get our fix. The food is that good. The owner is seemingly always there, and obviously genuinely cares about ensuring quality in what is served every time. Our favorites are Chengdu Style King Pao Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Beef in Pure Cumin Powder, Toothpicks Lamb, and the Xiao Long Bao. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this restaurant does not have a higher rating. It is the best. Try it. You won't regret it.”

Bonchon Aurora, IL 4302 E New York St #118, Aurora Asian Fusion • $

“If you love Korean fried chicken or are curious about trying it for the first time, Bonchon Aurora is the perfect place to go. We recently visited this location and were thoroughly impressed by everything—from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. Bonchon delivers a flavorful, high-quality dining experience that stands out from other casual spots in the area.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The interior is clean, modern, and nicely laid out. It has a casual yet stylish vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, have a family dinner, or even do takeout if you’re in a rush. The music was upbeat but not too loud, and the environment was welcoming and relaxing.

Now, let’s talk about the food—because that’s what Bonchon is all about. We ordered a combo of wings and drumsticks with both Soy Garlic and Spicy flavors. The chicken was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It’s honestly some of the best Korean fried chicken we’ve ever had. The soy garlic has a deep, savory-sweet flavor that keeps you reaching for another bite, while the spicy has a real kick without being overwhelming. It’s bold, flavorful, and lingers just enough to remind you it’s legit.

In addition to the chicken, we tried a few of their appetizers and sides. The takoyaki was hot and crispy on the outside and creamy inside with a drizzle of mayo and bonito flakes on top—just how it should be. The kimchi coleslaw was an unexpected but delicious twist, adding a tangy crunch to the meal. We also shared the bibimbap, which came out sizzling in a stone bowl and was absolutely loaded with fresh veggies, perfectly cooked rice, and tender beef. Once mixed together with gochujang, it was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures.

Service was great—our server was attentive, kind, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and hot, and we never felt rushed or ignored. It’s always refreshing to have a team that genuinely cares about your experience.

Another thing worth mentioning is how well they package everything for takeout. We’ve ordered Bonchon for pickup before, and everything always comes fresh, neatly packed, and still crispy—even after a drive home. That says a lot about their attention to quality.

Parking was easy, and the location is super convenient if you’re shopping or passing through the area. Plus, their online ordering system is smooth and reliable, which makes this a go-to for quick lunches or dinners on busy days.

Bonchon Aurora truly brings the flavors of Korea in a fun, accessible, and high-quality way. Whether you’re dining in or ordering out, you’re going to get consistent food and service. This is the kind of place that becomes a regular stop because you know exactly what you’re going to get—crispy, crave-worthy chicken and a menu that surprises you with depth beyond just wings.

We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next time. Highly recommend the soy garlic wings, the spicy combo for heat lovers, and the bibimbap if you’re looking for a heartier option. Bonchon Aurora deserves all five stars and then some.”

The woman running the counter was very nice, and made some recommendations to me when I wasn't sure what to order. I ended up getting the large catfish filets (by her recommendation) and they were delicious! They had a light crisp batter, and were very moist on the inside. My boyfriend ordered wings, which she also suggested & they too were crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. We left very satisfied, and definitely intend to return the next time we're in the area!”

I recommend El Festin, good food, good music, and good atmosphere. We enjoyed a very pleasant time as a family. The restaurant has been remodeled and has more options on the menu. Everyone is very friendly and attentive.”

“Experienced MaTea House for the first time today and I loved it �! Amy was so friendly, she answered my questions and was patient as I looked through their extensive menu. They have non dairy creamers and soy milk, which was music to my dairy free ears lol! I ordered the coffee milk tea with tapioca and strawberry bobas, it was delicious! Next time I go to the mall I am so making a trip to MaTea House. �”

“We've been a few times, and everyone we've met has this fun bubbly personality. They're very informed about their product and make recommendations based on personal preference, local options, popular options...anything (within reason) you can think of they know their product. And if you don't feel like walking around, there are games and TVs in the back.”

“Poor service and horrible beer. I ordered a brew dog hazy IPA and the waitress brought me some kind of red ale which is clearly not a hazy IPA. See attachment for what the beer should look like and what they brought me. Waitress does nothing to remediate the situation. Never seen such a poorly run business. Staff have bad attitudes and beer was definitely not right. Maybe it was spoiled or they substituted a cheaper product. Do not go here.”

Tia Wanna's 2115 W Galena Blvd, Aurora Mexican • $$

“The tacos and hush puppies are bomb. It's connected to another restaurant called Brown's Chicken. Still good though. Awesome food, huge tacos, nice people. Takes some time to get your order but it's worth it. Good burritos, homeade salsas, fair pricing. Good place. Locally owned and it has a nice home like feel... aside from the browns chicken next to it. Good amount of variety, with desserts. Prices are high on some things and low on others so it kinda averages out compared to like places. Taco was a little dry but we'll flavored. Ingredients are crumble cheese and not shredded and the refried beans will still have whole beans in them.”

“Horrible place to eat , grill filthy and the place was dirty. It looked like they were not ready to open it was 11:30 and the food quality was nasty. I was charged extra for chicken when half of spoon portion was put on my burrito bowl, they server put lots of red sauce on top. The black beans were spoiled tasted bitter and a weird spell , the chips were stale. I really regret coming here I was in front of the server but he didn’t notice me cause he was leaning down with head down like sleeping. I wouldn’t recommend this place for nothing, horrible old food and not ready to open!!”

“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.”

“Been coming to this establishment since they opened and have been pleased with their wings, catfish and shrimp. Conveniently located. I noticed as I placed my order I saw a sign stating yo keep costs down, pay with cash if possible. I paid with cash and noticed on my receipt I was charged the credit card fee (didn’t see a sign for that). Anyway, I bought it to the attention of the young man who took my order and he apologized and refunded the cc fee. Please check your sales receipt at all fast food establishments.”

Bonchon Aurora, IL 4302 E New York St #118, Aurora Asian Fusion • $

“If you love Korean fried chicken or are curious about trying it for the first time, Bonchon Aurora is the perfect place to go. We recently visited this location and were thoroughly impressed by everything—from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. Bonchon delivers a flavorful, high-quality dining experience that stands out from other casual spots in the area.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The interior is clean, modern, and nicely laid out. It has a casual yet stylish vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, have a family dinner, or even do takeout if you’re in a rush. The music was upbeat but not too loud, and the environment was welcoming and relaxing.

Now, let’s talk about the food—because that’s what Bonchon is all about. We ordered a combo of wings and drumsticks with both Soy Garlic and Spicy flavors. The chicken was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It’s honestly some of the best Korean fried chicken we’ve ever had. The soy garlic has a deep, savory-sweet flavor that keeps you reaching for another bite, while the spicy has a real kick without being overwhelming. It’s bold, flavorful, and lingers just enough to remind you it’s legit.

In addition to the chicken, we tried a few of their appetizers and sides. The takoyaki was hot and crispy on the outside and creamy inside with a drizzle of mayo and bonito flakes on top—just how it should be. The kimchi coleslaw was an unexpected but delicious twist, adding a tangy crunch to the meal. We also shared the bibimbap, which came out sizzling in a stone bowl and was absolutely loaded with fresh veggies, perfectly cooked rice, and tender beef. Once mixed together with gochujang, it was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures.

Service was great—our server was attentive, kind, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and hot, and we never felt rushed or ignored. It’s always refreshing to have a team that genuinely cares about your experience.

Another thing worth mentioning is how well they package everything for takeout. We’ve ordered Bonchon for pickup before, and everything always comes fresh, neatly packed, and still crispy—even after a drive home. That says a lot about their attention to quality.

Parking was easy, and the location is super convenient if you’re shopping or passing through the area. Plus, their online ordering system is smooth and reliable, which makes this a go-to for quick lunches or dinners on busy days.

Bonchon Aurora truly brings the flavors of Korea in a fun, accessible, and high-quality way. Whether you’re dining in or ordering out, you’re going to get consistent food and service. This is the kind of place that becomes a regular stop because you know exactly what you’re going to get—crispy, crave-worthy chicken and a menu that surprises you with depth beyond just wings.

We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next time. Highly recommend the soy garlic wings, the spicy combo for heat lovers, and the bibimbap if you’re looking for a heartier option. Bonchon Aurora deserves all five stars and then some.”
