“Amazing place, the food is top notch for Vietnamese cuisine, the ambience is nice and relaxing, and also the owner, Daniel, who made us laugh and made us feel so welcomed. You can tell the restaurant is there to serve an experience to their customers. No wonder there are so many 5 stars.We are definitely coming back, and would recommend this place anyone.“
“Food so delicious and freshly made. The ambience and music so pleasant. The owners and the staff always so nice, friendly, lovely with all guests. You can tell that they really enjoy making their guests happy while they are eating amazing recipes from Leskovac, Serbia! Such good people!“
“Beautiful interior, delicious food, attentive staff, and fast service. We dined in on a Sunday afternoon and very much enjoyed our experience. We started with the Finger Combo. I tried the crab rangoon and crispy rolls which I thoroughly enjoyed. The only note I have is that it comes with a tiny cup of sweet and sour sauce. The dish could definitely use a bigger serving of sauce to complement all the yummy fried finger foods! The pineapple shrimp curry was perfectly sweet and creamy with a hearty helping of rice. My mom said the Pad Si Ew was tasty, loved the presentation as well. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Fried Rice which packed a spicy kick but was super flavorful. We are excited to have a new Thai place in our repertoire!“
“Cafe Alif is just a find! Their lagman is simply divine - rich in flavor, juicy and very tasty. Be sure to try it! But that's not all - the service here is at the highest level. Orders are processed very quickly, and the staff is always friendly and ready to help with any questions. The atmosphere of the cafe is also pleasant and cozy, an ideal place for a pleasant lunch or dinner with friends or family. Overall, this cafe definitely deserves 5 stars for its exquisite lagman, excellent service and wonderful atmosphere.“
“Absolute gem. It’s just one of those hole in the wall restaurants that have food that’s to die for. I got the pho tai nam (if I’m not butchering that) and the broth is one of the most flavorful broths for pho I’ve ever had. The meat was generous and not fatty . They have an adorable upstairs seating area as well. Their bubble tea was fantastic too! The boba is cooked perfectly and the tarp milk tea is smooth and sweet :)“
“Everything was PERFECT! The service was SO wonderful, the food was amazing (so much so, that we ended up ordering a 2nd round). Highly recommend the clam chowder, as well as the samplers (seafood trio and lobster trio). The truffle butter is a MUST, as well! I can't say enough good things about the entire experience and we cannot wait to go back!“
“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“
“Suda’s offers delicious Lebanese cuisine in an upscale and intimate dining space. We came in a large group and got to try out a variety of dishes, all amazed by the flavors and beautiful plating of the food — the roasted cauliflower (Arnibit), falafel, and baba ghanouj were delicious appetizers; among the mains, we loved the shrimp and lamb skewers, while the mixed grill offered a variety of meats; for dessert, the Knaef was a sweet and decadent standout. The prices here are on a slightly higher end, but the exceptional quality of the food makes it well worth it.“
“Reminded me of my gramma’s Eastern European home cooking: delicious beet soup, goat cheese & beet salad, veal meatballs, mashed potatoes and apple kuka (strudel-like cake)! Although people rave about the beef stroganoff, the beef was dry & stringy and I had to add a lot of salt & pepper. Also, the cabbage rolls had tasty tomato sauce and lots of meat & rice but just a wafer-thin cabbage wrapping.“
“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“
“Very cozy asian-style noodle spot!I ordered a beef pad thai for lunch. The food was good, but it wasn’t until I added fish sauce and chili at home where all the flavors came out and molded together! I wish I asked for the condiments in-person. The beef was more on the hard side though, I wish it was softer. The portion was bigger than I expected but was the perfect size. I would love to come back and try other noodle dishes on the menu.In terms of service, I was greeted with smiles by the hostess doubling as a server as I walked in the door. Very attentive and very kind. She knows her customers very well. The food came out quick and I was able to get a good meal in while I was in-between classes.The music was great it contributed to the ambiance. I loved the fact that I could also hear the wok sizzling in the background as they were cooking.Parking: There’s a side street that’s not paid but it’s difficult to find parking. Sheffield is paid parking.“
“It was my first time coming in and get some food from them I live 3 minutes away from them and I never have gone since they open… WHY I TOOK SOOO LOONG!!! This is the great good light and healthy I can’t wait to go back tomorrow and get the breakfast!!! GREAT GREAT JOB YOU GOT A #1 client!“
“To start: edamame, Xiao Long Bao, scallion pancakeShared meal: orange beef, dan dan noodles, cashew chickenEverything was so delicious! We wanted a bit of heat and were able to get great dishes and control the spicy level. This place is worth trying to find parking.“
“We heard the place had great noodles and they did not disappoint. The waiter was great, he was patient and explained the entrees. Our food came out quickly. The ramen and noodles were delicious. The shrimp tempura had a light crispy batter. We have been back several times to eat here. There is plenty of indoor parking“
“My fiancé and I were recently in town for a convention. We saw this breakfast place as close by to walk to so we did. I will say the good things were the atmosphere and the food. The home made jam and cream cheese bagel was WONDERFUL. Our service on the other hand not so much. Our server did not pay much mind to us and I had to get up and get someone else to help us with cups and silverware. I asked for some lemons and i was only brought 1 when 4 people asked for water with lemon. Prices were okay. I would definitely come back to this place if I visited!!Parking: You need to walk to this location from the parking garage that is not far from the establishment“
“HIGHLY recommend. Their salads are delicious, ample sized and super reasonably priced. I usually can split it into two servings, and even my husband gets full after one of the salads! The space is clean and cute.I also did the January challenge and it kept me alive haha. Now I usually place a pickup order on Sundays for a couple salads to get through the week. If you're looking for a local spot with healthy food that's easy - cannot emphasize this place enough.“
“Best Thai food in Chicago and absolutely the best workers. The friendliest people you’ll ever meet in a restaurant setting, even when they are busy. All the curry’s are delicious, and don’t forget the amazing Thai iced tea. Just go here, you won’t regret “
“One of the best experiences I've ever had dining. Jimmy the owner is an absolute legend and made us feel like family from the second we walked in. If you're a local from the city or thinking about visiting from the suburbs please make the trip. We'll be back very soon!“
“This is a great place to pick up a quick lunch. Prices are fair and I love that the soups constantly differ. Usually when I go I pick up a cold soup from the fridge as well! I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad soup. Sandwiches are a bit lacking in my opinion. Ice cream is also amazing. Not the biggest space so I usually treat it as a grab and go more but there are a few tables available.“
“Just had the best service ever! Gina was our waitress and she was such a sweetheart. More places need workers like her. We'll be back specifically for her! Thank you! Highly recommend her as your server. Made our experience here so much more enjoyable.“
“I've been checking the restaurant and menu long before coming to Chicago for a vacation week and yesterday I manage to get there on foot to try the dining environment.Placed my order accordingly and the look of it and the taste made worthwhile for me, it taste soooo goooood!!! I took my sweet time eating the Japanese way????.Anybody from out of town visiting Chicago for an R&R, look it up and visit the place for your self, as an Asian connoisseur l can tell what's good or what's what.“
“Picked up a to-go order for lunch and I was so pleased. Got a steak burrito and this was possibly some of the most flavorful steak I've ever had in a burrito. Perfect lunch honestly. This place looks like fun and I'll have to come back for dinner sometime. There was only one person working period and he was so nice and his earrings were cool and boy can he make a burrito! Will definitely be back!“
“6 of us went , all ordered different entrees & all agreed it was the best "_____" we ever had.ordered potstickers, egg rolls & greenbeens for the table & they're the best in the city. Jimmy (the owner) has been doing it great since the 80“
“Such good tacos!! Came here for Taco Tuesday and they are only $4 a piece. The Al Pastor tacos are a standout, with tons of meat and pineapple chunks. My friend got the crispy shrimp taco and loved it. Got a tasty house margarita for only $8 since it was also Happy Hour. Couldn’t ask for a better deal! The vibes are more like a bar, but the food is delicious. I’d also recommend the house guacamole!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free tacos available“
“Incredibly nice. I accidentally ordered the wrong thing for delivery, called the restaurant a couple minutes before the driver showed up, explained the problem, and they fixed it for me (despite having already prepared my incorrect order). I was extremely surprised and grateful, wasn't expecting that level of service. Will always order from here when I have a craving for pho.“
“We love coming here to pick up breakfast (quiche and baked goods) to go or sitting on the patio when weather permits. The service is always friendly and the baked goods and quiche are always fresh! Coffee is great too! Really appreciate this neighborhood staple. Highly recommend the blueberry and raspberry almond scones, blueberry muffins and pumpkin or gingerbread muffins.“
“YES I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. The food is delicious and FAST. Ordering is done in a tablet so it's great if I'm feeling especially non verbal. The sauces that they have out on their condiments bar are TO DIE for. I I want that injected into my veins.“
“Jak sie masz??? (in Borat accent) Andy's Deli is the greatest Polish Deli on earth! If I lived in Chicago I'd be here all the time. This is Polish food heaven -- why spend the money going to Poland when you can have all the best food of Poland RIGHT HERE? Minimal English spoken here.....it's the real deal! We regularly order a package of Polish goods from Andy's to arrive just in time for Easter (FEDEX 2 day) . One time we received the package late and everything had increased to ambient temperature. Andy's was gracious enough to send a new package at no charge (about $100 worth of foods). Shipping foods to California is not that cheap because of the shipping charges and mandatory cooling packs, but when the sausages arrive here it's such a treat! Check them out online for orders to your state. I finally visited here in person while visiting Chicago ....and it's such a fantastic spot -- everything you could ever imagine Polish food wise -- from periogi to kapusta to bigos to sausages. Kielbasa heaven!Love this place and wish we had something like this in CA!“
“I just got off an 11 hour plane ride from Japan. Lucky's hit the spot. They don't skimp out on the servings and the food is delicious and freshly cooked. Just what I needed! The staff was nice and noticed they greeted their regulars by name and talked to them. The place is clean and comfortable.“
“this place is awesome. I tried both the lemongrass pork and coco special banh mi and they were both great. the flavors & meat-bread ratio made them some of the better Vietnamese sandwiches I’ve had in the city. not too heavy but still filling.“
“Delicious! It was very pleasant to dine and delight in every bite of this restaurant's cuisine. The best mole by far. Everything excellent.Vegetarian options: I didn't try them this time, but we will go soon.Parking: Easy to get to. And also its very informative website.Kid-friendliness: Comfortable spaces, cleanliness and friendly and professional treatment. The chef, wonderful. Thank you for your work and seasoning.Wheelchair accessibility: I saw everything very organized for the clients.“
