“The food here is fantastic“

“Great food great service clean space Reasonably priced“

“Joy Yee is an absolute gem for Asian cuisine! The menu is extensive, with everything from bubble tea to delicious noodle dishes. I loved the vibrant flavors and generous portions—perfect for sharing. The service was quick, and the food came out fresh and hot. It’s always busy, but worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic, tasty Asian food!“

“I came to this restaurant in February of this year for my birthday, and 6 months later I’m still thinking about this ramen and trying to see when I can go back. Had the Monster Ramen and it was the most flavorful ramen I’ve ever tried. Definitely excited to go back and either get it again or try something else, I’m sure everything they have is just as good.“

“Great food and eclectic music. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“This place was amazing! Tucked away just around the corner off Morse, this little kitchen serves large bowls of the best bulgogi and bibimbop I've had since I was in Seoul.

The chef took the time to check in on all diners, and his staff have been courteous every time I visit. Very thankful to have them so close to home! 사람이다!“

“Best veggie Egg Rolls ever. It was my first time here so I played it kind of safe and got Cashew Chicken. It was excellent , large portion, with just a hint of spiciness ( which enhanced flavor). Tried the Coconut Milk Ice Cream. Good but unexceptional. Over all excellent and reasonably priced for what you get.“

“Decided to try out this place after hearing it from a client. I was delighted that they have a simple kiosk ordering system which made things quick and easy. Ordered the pork and ginger dumplings and the grilled chicken. The dumplings even though they were hot, they were still flavorful. The chicken paired with the coconut rice was well-cooked and very filling. I had the egg tart for dessert and it tasted okay, Overall still satisfied with the experience and food.“

“I love thai food and have been to many different places. This Thai restaurant has to be by far one of the best restaurants and food I had ever had. The customer service was phenomenal; the main server was highly attentive and polite. I loved their pad thai; literally tasted perfect compared to other pad thai dishes from other restaurants. My friend and I ordered their pork pot stickers as well, and they were absolutely divine. The dough was almost sweet and it paired well with the sauce and pork given in the dish. Do not even get me started on the chicken satay. The marinade and peanut sauce for this appetizer exceeded my expectations. Super juicy and flavorful. Overall the food plus the atmosphere was amazing; if I could I would give this place more stars. Thank you Rice and Noodles Thai Food!“

“I ordered takeout since my husband and I were working from home. We both got the Pad Thai, mine with tofu and his with chicken and beef. We really loved it! The portions were generous, especially the protein, and everything was full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back next time and plan to dine in!“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

“[Pho Restaurant Name] is a hidden gem that elevates the humble bowl of phở into something quietly remarkable. The broth is a masterclass in patience — crystal clear, deeply aromatic, and rich with the essence of slow-simmered bones and spices.

I had the P7, and the rare beef melted effortlessly into the broth. Accompanied by fresh herbs, lime, and crisp sprouts, each bite felt personal and deeply satisfying.
Service was gracious, the space calm and inviting.

In a world of culinary trends, [Pho Restaurant Name] stays true to its roots — and in doing so, offers something far more enduring.“

“September 2025
BYOB
New find by Western and North. Lovely eatery with very limited menu and only 2 side dishes accompanying the main.
The taste was good and very nicely spiced. The size of the portions was good. The taste was very good.
I would definitely go back!“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“I had the Pho Tai and it was great, super fresh and full of flavor. The broth was on point, and everything tasted really clean and well made.

Service was great too. The food came out fast, the staff was super friendly, and the place had a nice, vibe. Clean restaurant, good people, great food. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The food here is really good. They use high quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. The dried chilli hot sauce is made in house and is so good, I always ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food. I will ksep coming back. They also have a full bar, which is great.“

“I was wondering around by myself trying to find a hidden Chicago gem and I stumbled across Penny's Noodle Shop! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The workers are so friendly, warm, and inviting, making you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and cooked to order, which really makes a difference. They have a great selection of Asian cuisine, with something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the location is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal near the ballpark. Highly recommend!

Had the Hot Pepper Noodles with Beef and the Gyozas. Both were fantastic“

“I love the Alfredo Montamore! It's so delicious. ��“

“Ben’s is my go-to Thai restaraunt. I’ve ordered takeout from them loads of times and have always been happy. The portions are generous and I feel it is a good value for my money. My favorite is the chive dumplings (although they stick together so I wish they would package them differently). They also have a weekday lunch special that is a good deal.

I saw someone mention how they didnt like their food and had a problem with the to-go cups having a lot of ice in it. I believe they freeze the styrofoam cups with water so there is a cup-shaped large ice cube in their to go drinks. Simple solution is to ask for no ice :)

I’ve never dined in, but it is your standard small hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant with just a few tables. No frills. Good food.“

“Noodles and Co is fire. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Manager Marc is very nice. They cook the food fresh and ready to eat and they maintain the restaurant clean. Amazing noodles. They put a smile on customers faces. 10/10“

“New favorite spot 😊 🤩 ❤️. Will return and bring all my friends!“

“Food was really good
Excellent customer service
But really small food portion size for the price

Please make sure feed the customer for the money you charge. Nobody likes to go home hungry after paying the chunk of money for food bill.
Thank you“

“I dropped into this spot for lunch on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the chill vibe, the great playlist, and the attention to service.

The service was quiet and friendly, and the lunch special was delicious at a great rate. I would recommend anyone with a sushi itch go here for a scratch. I hope to come back soon for the other things on the menu.“

“Great team! They always exceeded expectations!“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious“

“Took my husband here one last time to say goodbye to Chicago before moving states; this was one of our favorite places to eat when we began dating 11 summers ago. �“

“Fine dining love there food come here to eat everyday excellent service and feels like your at home“

“We enjoyed Beyond Thai restaurant. The owner helps on the dining room. The food is prepr bcdf ared fresh. We had crispy egg rolls, tom yum soup, delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers, and salmon fillet with rice topped with a large mound of fresh Asian style vegetables. We had tasty Emerald noodle dishes and pad see eiew.“

“We had a great experience here! We love Noodles & Company and this location was wonderful. Our food was delicious and our server, Ivan, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. He stopped by our table a couple times and was very kind to check in. We'll be back!“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

“Mike is hands down the best real estate agent in the greater Chicago area. Moved to the Chicago area blind with no prior information and Mike did an excellent job in helping me find my current home within 1-2 months of me moving here. Great detail in video tours as well for those who are out of state.“

“I went a while back with my family, the portions are extremely large, they allow BYOB, and they are extremely good with service. The orange chicken is actually good orange chicken unlike most, and the food is over all really delicious. I also enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee a lot.“

“Mostly a take out place but I wanted to be seated for lunch. And they had plenty of seating available. I wanted to try some of their unusual dishes but it was my first visit so I decided to go with something standard I could judge them by. I had the fried crab rangoon and chicken red curry. Both were some of the best I've had in Chicago. Actually the crab rangoon was the best I've has anywhere. This is a great local Thai place. Don't miss it!“

“Really good Chinese food. Not too greasy, or saucy. Made just right. High quality ingredients.
I'm so happy they're in Lincolnwood so I don't have to go all the way to Chinatown or Evanston. I got their traditional potstickers (those are the handmade ones with the thicker outside dough), mooshoo pork (It's like a taco meets peking duck but healthier because it has cabbage and mushrooms and you can wrap it yourself. The beef chow fun was on point and the same is they make at Ming Hing. Fried rice was perfect. I'm sure everything else is really good too. It seems like there's new ownership and the new owners are really nice and organized. She also gave me a complimentary chili oil. Feel very lucky that this place is just a few minutes away and has fresh wok made food!! They also cater!“

“My first time ever having authentic Thai Food!

It was amazing! Not perfect, but cLose!

I had the Drunken NoodLes Spicy 10 with Tofu!

It was actually spicy. Needs just a little something idk. Maybe cardamom.

My picture doesn’t do it justice. And I can’t even finish. It’s so freakin yummy!

I rate it 9.3/10“

“We traveled quite a ways to eat here since it is considered by many to be a great old school Chicago restaurant. We went for lunch and it was very quiet inside when we arrived. My kid commented that all the songs that were playing were on her playlist so she was thrilled. She had the sweet and sour chicken and I had the Kung Pao beef. Both were really good and the portions were huge. The meals came with egg drop soup which was excellent and then we also had spring rolls which were very large and really good. Service was very good and the food was reasonably priced. I do wish they still had the old neon sign out front.“

“Wonderful food and service! I come here every time I visit Chicago!!!!“

“Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.“

“Great Fresh Sushi. A very popular place, so expect a wait. But the staff is quick and attentive. Skilled chefs. One of few Sushi places that do not add extra rice as fillers to make the Maki or Sushi seem bigger. Bottom line ..... Good Food.“

“If you’re a fan of authentic Thai noodles, this place is a must-visit! Every Tuesday and Wednesday, they serve delicious and authentic Thai noodle dishes at incredibly affordable prices. The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced, just like you’d find in Thailand.

The restaurant is always bustling with customers, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Even when I arrived as early as 6:00 PM, there was already a line, and I had to wait for a seat. However, the wait is absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re craving authentic Thai noodles. Just make sure to go early and be prepared for a little wait—it’s all part of the experience!“

“Over 20 years ago I started eating at their original Lincoln Park location. Today, their delicious food keeps me coming back time after time. It helps that the restaurant is staffed by the nicest people in the world. When I call for pickup they know my order (lad nar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes!“

“This place is a local gem!!!! Everything I've ordered was fantastic! Love their pot stickers, crab rangoon, and their egg rolls! Kenny makes all the sauces in house!!!! The smoothies and Japanese sodas are faves with my kids. Wonderful spot and great people that work there!“

“Great food and always great service.“

“First time ordering. A very good experience all around. The takoyaki was delicious. Wasn’t sure what to expect but they were soft and flavorful. The eggplant was mixed. Not a fan of the sauce and the texture varied from slice to slice.One soft, others firm and the skin was impossible to cut and chew. The pork belly was okay. Not enough ginger flavor came through and the pieces could be cut smaller. The salads were yummy.“

“My go-to take out/delivery place. Always meet my craving. Huge portions for a great price. Staff and delivery drivers are kind, hard-working and accommodating. The last time I ordered they threw in a free egg roll. Love introducing friends to this gem!“

“Had a delicious meal, great service, and calm atmosphere at YATAI. We are vegetarian leaning and there were plenty of options. It was clear to us that the food was freshly made. (Nothing wilty or overcooked.) Will totally go back when we are looking for Asian influenced cuisine with lots of options.“
