I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“Only complaint was that the dining room was noisy, so that it made conversation difficult. Most likely the result of a large crowd, with a 20 to 40 minute wait.

Vegetarian options: Depends on how strict a vegetarian. It is authentic Greek cuisine, so there are many seafood options. Strict vegetarians will be limited to roasted vegetables and hummus dishes, but they will try their best to accommodate.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free dishes are labeled on the menu, but I don't think this is a totally gluten free kitchen with separate prep and cooking areas.

Parking: Large self parking lot that can overflow into other parking areas.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of families with children dine here. Many options on a children's menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large dining area with good access to move around, including the washrooms. Very little floor transitions (bumps or steps) unless one is going to back private dining rooms.“

“So far I’ve eaten at Vasco’s twice with my coworker. The food is delicious. It is perfectly spiced, chicken is cooked to perfection and not dry. The garlic sauce is very tasty. It is very clean. The people working there are extremely nice and helpful. My coworker doesn’t know much about Indian food so she had a lot of questions. They were patient and answered all of the. The owner came to our table both times we were there to ask how things were. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We are already planning our next visit.“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“Recently celebrated a 70th birthday with the D'Alexander family. What a great event. The staff could not have been nicer, and attentive. You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy. If you want a great Italian dining experience please take the time to enjoy Made In Italy, because my wife and I plan to go back.“

“My boyfriend and I love sushi and have tried places over the country. This was hands down the best sushi we have ever had. The owner was so kind and even gave us a special role to just try! The salmon was amazing. My favorite roll was The Grinch and his was That roll. We will be back again soon!“

“What a great restaurant! Came here to celebrate Father’s Day last night and had to write a review. The appetizer menu was extensive and tempting so we got a lot :). All were good with notable mentions to the chicken wings, takoyaki, fried oysters, sesame balls, and chicken buns. The ramen was so good with rich broth and fresh ingredients, you can tell this was lovingly prepared. Service was friendly and inviting, I knew it was going to be good when they brought my beer in a frosted mug :). Thank you for helping us properly celebrate the best Father a guy could ask for, my Dad’s face says it all. Check this place out, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back!“

“Chicken shawarma is awesome. I did not like the meat shawarma is not something i would recommend at all, they used too many spices including cardamom which you cannot taste the meat. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma a lot. However, i have half of my meat shawarma and after I was feeling not good.
The service is nice and the people are friendly, prices are fine and the restroom is clean. They have a collection of soda and drinks, free parking.
Small couple tables not a big space but chill and clean.“

“Just a shout out to the BEST waitress at the Naperville location, AUTUMN! Every time we come in, we hope we get seated in her section. Autumn’s energy is awesome! She never rushes us during our friend catch up time. She is so attentive without hovering and just a great person all around! Naper location is lucky 🍀 to have her on their team! Thanks for taking good care of us everyone we come in, Autumn! 🫶💯“

“The food is fresh. You can taste that they make their own salsa, for example. The veggies on my salad were bright and crisp. In comparison to other places, you can tell you are eating fresh food. The coffee is good. They have lots of seating. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. Good prices. Local. Easy parking. What more can you ask for? I am excited to try everything on the menu eventually.“
