Amazing food! Best fried rice I have had in a long time, hats off to the cook.

The sushi I had was great, and the interior was aesthetically pleasing. I would go back, and definitely would recommend if someone was going on their first date.

The food was good (nothing remarkable to be honest. Their prices are a bit high for what you get for lunch.

This place was dark quiet and a nice nook and Clark Street while I was looking for some delicious sushi and a great glass of wine. For those of you looking for some light you could sit at the window and enjoy everyone walking by but please be patient it's a very chill environment. A must try is the Mexican sushi lots of great flavors accompanied with the plum wine was perfection! I was there on a date and the seating set up for that perfectly but there is a section up in the front for family or friend gatherings! Customer service was great friendly and simple enjoy

There is no shortage of Thai restaurants in the Andersonville neighborhood, so I recommend you try any other one. Having dined in at Polygon pre-Pandemic and thought the food to be good, I opted for delivery last night, expecting the same quality. Perhaps there's been a change of staff or ownership or attitude. Whatever it is, last night's dinner was inedible. We ordered three entrees and an appetizer. Other than the side of rice (extra charge), there was nothing in the meal that had any redeeming quality. Cashew chicken: hard chunks of dried chicken in a red, tasteless jelly substance. Pad Se Ewe: slimy, unpalatable noodles in goo. Broccoli and tofu: pungent unsavory pabulum. Even less satisfying was the conversation with the manager when I returned the food to the restaurant today. Explaining that I had spent $60 and was unable to eat the meal, I suggested he taste what was sent to me. Instead, he chastised me for not calling last night with my complaint and excused any disappointment in the fact that we didn't eat immediately upon delivery (having opted to work late). Take note: apparently, Polycon food cannot be eaten as leftovers and is only tasty if eaten within an hour of it being delivered. The manager offered a 20% discount on my next order. Declined. There won't be a next order.

I used to be a genuine lover of Polygon Cafe but lately their food has been so mediocre and is no longer worth the price. This is the 3rd time that I’ve ordered the Beef Pad Se Ew and the noodles were overcooked, mushy and bland - It literally had no seasoning. I also tried their Shrimp Thai Fried rice and it was just rice fried with a bunch of onions, a few pieces of tomato and shrimp that tasted like it was boiled or came precooked in the bag. Again, no flavor at all. The only thing we ordered that still tasted okay was the Tom Yum soup. I’m not sure what changed but the food sucks now. On another note, we ordered 2 dishes and the soup and no utensils (we requested) or soy sauce was provided for $45 order. Save your money and try somewhere else, it’s not worth it.

Was disappointed after all of the positive reviews. To start with the positive of our meal though, the crab rangoon were delicious. I'm guessing it may be the best for those who dine here to stick to the Thai side of the menu. I had a hankering for sushi, and ordered a couple rolls. The yellowtail in the roll I had was so fishy and not fresh that I actually gagged after eating one (got through the first two because I paid for it but finally had to stop) and lost my appetite. This is coming from someone who has a near iron stomach. The futomaki was alright because it had no raw fish, but overall the other roll we had (with crab and salmon) was also fishy and very average. Maybe I'll come back for Thai (as I said, the crab rangoon was VERY good), but unfortunately tonight I'm left with a stomach ache and no appetite.

After spending time drinking glogg at Simon's Tavern, we were starving and someone suggested Polygon. After walking out of Simon's, I was prepared for at least a five minute walk, but then our guide opened the second door we came across. We walked in a little after seven on a Saturday night and were able to immediately secure a table for five.It took a little bit to get our first orders in and water to the table, but far from disruptive. We were only three when we put in our appetizer orders, but became five as they were delivered. Once fully assembled, we ordered drinks and main courses. I highly recommend the bottle of Poochi Poochi sake. It's a great size and price to share with those you're with.I was with my sister, her partner, a friend I had met a couple months prior and their new roommate they met through Facebook Marketplace. The meal was delicious and the conversation and connection were even better. It was only natural that we went back to the apartment and played Drawful, where the games slogan was repeated multiple times, "I'm sorry, what?"

Best pad Thai around. Everyone is super nice and the portions are gigantic.

I tend to like this place, and they have good lunch specials. However, it is not a good choice if you are on a work break, especially between noon and 1pm. Today I spent 40 minutes in the restaurant - I ordered one of their protein and rice meal options - it took so long for the food to be prepared that I had to ask to pay before it was ready, cancel my green tea order which had not arrived after 30 minutes, and ask them to box my food to go. Back at my desk at work I opened the to-go container to find the chicken was undercooked, the peanut sauce was all over the outside of the box and had been poured on the side of cucumber salad as well, and they did not give me the rice. A very disappointing experience.

I order the spicy udon from here every week, the noodles are so good. The crab Rangoon is also a favorite.

Perfect spot for easy and tasty food after our 9pm shifts end. Thank you for offering healthier food later at night!

Delicious food and affordable!

Food is good, service needs work. Food was delivered to the table as each item was prepared, instead of as a ticket. The only food that came out at the same time was my app and my entre. Not even the soups came out at the same time - one soup came out TEN minutes before another.
