“This past weekend a group ( 14 ) of us experienced a wonderful evening at Pazzi Di Pizza in Elmhurst. It was a fun get-together that was enhanced by great appetizers and varied, delicious pizzas. We also were served by some of the best and most courteous staff we have ever experienced. Marco, the Manager, who attentively scheduled our evening, came over, introduced himself, inquired about our needs, and then introduced us to Charlie, our evening's server. Charlie was exceptional!! It was our second time meeting at this venue, and I highly recommend a visit!“

“Great food, great people, and real nice vibe. Also, try the Italian Beef. It’s EXCELLENT!“

“I made an online order for 2 pastas and when my boyfriend brought the food home they didn’t add meatballs to the pasta. I called the restaurant and the guy who answered was extremely apologetic and super kind. I just wanted to write this review to praise this employee (we didn’t get his name, but he was working on Thursday May 1st around 4pm.) He went above and beyond and made sure to make it right. A lot of restaurants now a days have employees who simply don’t care and lack customer service and kindness, so it’s nice to have people who actually help out. We will continue to keep going back. Thank you.“

“very good 👍 service delicious coffee ☕️“

“A very unassuming place, that serves the best food at probably the cheapest prices anywhere. The owner and his adorable wife, are both from Albania. She speaks Albanian & Greek and excellent English. The husband stays back in the kitchen creating the excellent food and the wife serves patrons out front. If you're not on a particular diet, and just want some good old-fashioned wholesome diner-type food, this is place.“

“The food 10/10 , Service 10/10 , highly recommend Gabriel as your server , he is everything you want , personable , knows what he’s talking about and just friendly person you want around you. For that reason I will be back, lobster was delicious , get the elote corn for a side ! Melt in your mouth sea bass, first time trying oysters wow 😯 YUMMY, drinks also yummy . This is just an all around great spot in a nice area .“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

“Good place all around. If you're looking for a quick bite, this is a good place to stop. There's a big variety in sandwiches and salads to try, and of course there's pizza and panzaroti made in the word fire oven.

We had a sandwich and a salad the first time we went and they were very good. As were the cookies, and lots to choose from. Will have to go back and check their other offerings. It also has a deli counter with cheese and meats.“

“Muy rico todo lo recomiendo es un Lugar familiar“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“Great place. The food is consistently good!“

“Bambu Thai Cuisine is a true hidden gem — a perfect blend of flavor, freshness, and hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and the service is consistently excellent from start to finish.

Let’s talk about the food — absolutely outstanding! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with clearly fresh ingredients. The portion sizes are generous (seriously, come hungry or plan to take some home), and you can tell there’s real care in every bite. I especially appreciated how balanced the meals were — bold spices without being overwhelming, fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked proteins. You can taste the authenticity and passion behind each dish.

Whether you're going for a classic like Pad Thai or venturing into something new like their specialty curries, you won’t be disappointed. Even the sides and sauces feel crafted, not just added on. And for those who care about nutrition — it’s a refreshing change to find food this delicious that still feels wholesome and energizing. Everything tasted vibrant, not heavy — like it was made to nourish, not just fill.

The atmosphere itself adds to the experience — calm, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with subtle Thai décor and soft music that complements the meal without overpowering conversation.

All in all, Bambu Thai Cuisine is an easy 5-star experience across the board: amazing food, stellar service, and a vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. I’ll definitely be returning soon — and bringing friends. Highly recommended!Great food, huge quantities, great service tasty fresh nutritious.“

“Awesome restaurant awesome food :) .“

“Friendly, professional staff and delicious food.“

“I had another amazing experience at Egg Harbor today! Our waitress, Bethany, was absolutely fantastic—she was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere is always welcoming, clean, and cozy, which makes the dining experience even better. As usual, the food was delicious and served quickly. If you're looking for great service and tasty meals, I highly recommend them.“

“Stopped in after a gig with my band….cool place to hang!“

“A chill local sushi shop with amazing prices and even better sushi. My friend and I love to come here on our lunch break, and we've been blown away every time.

Sally is the go-to person during the day, and she's been a delight every time. Not only is the service fast and phenomenally attentive, but the staff are both knowledgeable and willing to give great recommendations too. Their specials actually feel special: the Mango Tango roll could almost be a dessert dish! The fish is fresh and tasty; as a tuna lover, I'm particularly delighted when there's no hint if fishiness, and every roll I've ordered here has been nothing less than delicious. Their side dishes are generous and tasty, the rolls are of perfect size, and I've never once left hungry. Even their miso soup hits the spot on breezy days, and that's a recipe that's hard to nail as well as they do it here.

I can only imagine that if their lunch menu is *this* awesome, their dinners must be even better! Thanks for being the best lunch sushi spot in the area!“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“

“Have came here twice and both experiences were perfect in every way. Very clean and colorful, comfortable atmosphere with a cool way of displaying the menu, of which has many different options and variety-it is all delicious. I recommend everything. This place has the best asada and churros out of anywhere in the Elmhurst area hands down, I've gotten them both times. Great tamales and chips as well. They keep the salsa bottles in an ice bath when they're not being used which is always an A+++ for me. Very respectful staff as well, and the best part of it all: the prices are so very fair for the amount of food you get!! $3.35 for a big, good quality taco is IMPOSSIBLE to find these days!!!This place is going to be our absolute go-to for as long as it's open. Do not hesitate to come here!!!!!“

“Hell yeah, Guac N Tacos! When in Downers Grove or Elmhurst, you must try this place! Sabrosa!“

“Great Food

Vegetarian options: Tofu home style, any dish can be personalized to be vegetarian

Parking: Much space. Parking also in front of restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-Friendly and spacious

Wheelchair accessibility: Very open to wheelchair access“

“After having a fire at our home in Wheaton, we found temporary housing in Elmhurst. We noticed this restaurant & decided to try it. Reviews on Yelp were good. Great service, food and atmosphere. We noticed many Hispanics there, indicating to us that it is an excellent restaurant. Loved the music that accompanied our meal. It took me back to my high school trip to Mexico in 1967. The owner, Oscar, made us feel welcome. I just wish they had “helado frito”. We had been to Cozymel’s and El Jimador restaurants in the past but both are gone now. This will be our new favorite Mexican restaurant. I highly recommend it.“

“we aways come for the buffet.“

“Sushi is no longer served here which surprised me but instead I chose a teriyaki shrimp lunch meal which was excellent. I also LOVED the golden shrimp and will be back for that!!! My food was hot with decent portions, and the lemonade tasted freshly-made and tart. I think she may have used pure ingredients as I watched her make a pitcher at the bar area. I also liked the music which surprised me- 90's R&B slow jams. Super chill and quiet atmosphere here with interesting and unique decor throughout.“
