Noodles near Evanston, IL

“The food here is fantastic“

“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!“

“Great food great service clean space Reasonably priced“

“I loved this place! Excellent food and service. Very friendly atmosphere. Store front is well lit and nicely organized. Our table was clean. The plates were very nice.
Only room for improvement may just be deep cleaning aspects. Otherwise, I will be coming back for the authentic food!“

“Incredible experience. I will definitely be back. Tried the monster and the spicy summer. Both were amazing. Oh and can’t forget the Gyoza. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!!“

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

“Very yummy 🥰❤️👍 อร่อยมากๆคะรสเด็ดไทยแท้“

“This place was so cute and the food was amazing! We got the chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, crispy basil pork belly and crab fried rice. My favorite was the crispy basil pork belly! It was incredible and flavorful.

I also appreciated the cute decor. It was very charming inside and felt cozy.“

“The food was amazing, I had the pat thai and my husband had the pat see ew.
Delicious and you could tell they use fresh ingredients.
The Thai tea was perfection! 🙂
And Melissa was the nicest person to host, she was very nice and personal and I will definitely will be back.
The most authentic Thai in the area.“

“My husband and I stopped into NoodleBird while visiting Logan Square, and we’re so glad we did. Everything we ate and drank was absolutely delicious. The Pork & Ginger Dumplings, Charcoal Chicken, and Ginger Lemon & Turmeric Soda were all standouts and definitely worth ordering. I also loved the thoughtful detail of the owner’s grandparents’ photos on the bathroom doors. It was such a sweet, personal touch. We’re already looking forward to eating here again the next time we’re in Chicago.“

“Portion sizes were larger than expected, and the crab rangoons are pretty good! I feel the pad thai noodles are lacking in flavor and sauce. I added more fish sauce and lime juice at home and it went from sad to decent but I'm not sure I'll order that again.“

“Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!“

“I've even driven almost 2hours just to enjoy the food here . I Live in a small town in Wisconsin .
The food here is delicious , authentic and comforting , the Staff is always warm , welcoming .
I truly appreciate this restaurent for giving me a little piece of home every time i come
Highly recommend .“

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

“If you love ginger and a crispy noodle, Penny's Noodle Shop has the best Lad Nar from the city to the burbs. Nothing else like it. The light sauce has ginger, carrots and broccoli and is consistently amazing! Best when dining in but take out good too. Take noodles on the side for takeout and mix it up at home. Delicious every time.“

“Thai O Clock rocks! Banging food. Nice cozy environment. Reasonable prices. If you’re on West Peterson, give it a try.“

“Passed by this place 100 times and finally decided to give it a try. Kept it safe with my 1st time order and tried the chicken pad Thai and the crab Rangoon. It was amazing!! So flavorful it packed a punch in every bite! I got medium spicy and it was the perfect amount of heat, food was fresh and came fast, no long wait times. I will definitely be trying more of their menu! Pleasantly surprised, you have returning customer for life! Great Thai Restaurant in the neighborhood!!“

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

“Specialty Korean restaurant that offers several classic Korean dishes for a competitive price.

The restaurant has plenty of seating parties between 2-4 people.

The chicken bento box was a good value for the portions but it could've used a little more spice in the chicken bulgogi.

The service was consistent and the food came out promptly.

There is limited street parking. This restaurant is best accessed by public transit or by foot.“

“Really good authentic food. These servers are meticulous and anticipated every need before we even asked. I dined with 5 friends and all 6 of us got different orders and all loved each one. I next found myself trying to figure out what I would order next time I’m there!“

“Viet fusion has brought me back to Vietnam. Fresh ingredients you can TASTE! The owner is so wonderful and very friendly! Ordered the FAMOUS bahn mi(viet fusion bahn mi), I kept hearing about and let me say.. this is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, crispy and delicious. Presentation was amazing as well. Bread was soft and I wanted to order another LOL. Pho here is traditional and I can say the servings are large! Don’t be shy to ask what’s in the soup! Drink menu is also available just have to ask! I will be back! So happy I finally went in to try.“

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

“The menu is small but if you are not familiar with Taiwanese flavor profiles (nobody at our table was), it could be difficult to decide what to try. Fortunately the staff is wonderful and patient and very helpful. We had a terrific server, Max, who was very fun and gave us a lot of information then made recommendations that were spot-on. We really enjoyed our meal and the whole dining experience, and will certainly come back to try other dishes.“

“Jaiyen is a total neighborhood gem! The sushi is always fresh, but this is actually one of my favorite places to get beef teriyaki—the meat is incredibly tasty and the sauce is perfect. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the quality is consistently great. Highly recommend!“

“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. �“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

“The place has constant turnover, which is good. There are a lot of Thais so you know it'll be good. The change their menu weekly, so follow their IG. Staff is super nice. It's more of an in and out kind of place. Water is available for you to grab yourself. The food and beverages are delicious!!!! All the food is fantastic that we tried.“

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

“Great team! They always exceeded expectations!“

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

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

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

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

“I got the lunch special Kung pao it came with an appetizer which I chose veggie rolls (2) they was too good that I forgot to take a Pic of them. The Kung pan is amazing fresh and with savory flavor. Definitely going back to try other items on the menu.“

“Love this place. Pot stickers, egg drop soup and egg rolls are my go-to’s. The husband favors the orange chicken.

UPDATE: this place is under new ownership and the food all tastes very different to me. The husband still loves this restaurant and thinks some of the food is improved; I tried the new eggrolls and they were a salt bomb.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Been coming to Yatai frequently for about two years now, and every time it meets or exceeds my expectations. Service is quick and the workers are kind and check in on you frequently to make sure you have everything you need. Prices are fair especially for the portions (rice bowls, fried rice, noodle dishes, etc). My personal favorites from the menu are the crab rangoons and the crunchy sweet potato tempura rolls! BYOB and they’ll provide glasses if you need them! Absolutely love this place, cannot recommend it enough.“

“Che Thai is a fantastic local spot and everything we’ve tried has been delicious. The Pad See Ew is hands down the best I’ve had in Chicago — perfectly tender noodles, well-cooked chicken, and incredible flavor. Just so good.

The garlic noodles are also a standout. The lo mein noodles are thicker than expected, which actually makes the dish even more comforting and satisfying.

We’ll definitely be regulars here. Pro tip: order on Toast — they prefer it.“

“Review written 12/14/2025. Mobile Order was ready on time and made accurately.

Pictured is chipotle lime pasta with tofu and skipped the shredded Parmesan

They have a lot of self serve siracha sauce packets, and individual salt and pepper packets

Watch for rewards/deals on the Noodles and Company app“

“It's a little restaurant and there aren't many seats but the food is excellent! I've had the General Tsaos Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and the Chop Suey and every time it's made perfect! They take their time with every dish and it tastes fresh and hot! I highly recommend this restaurant! Also, the Service is excellent!“

“Awesome local spot, food always delicious, hot and fresh. Cheap and they really hook you up with the portion size! I get the lunch/dinner specials and literally save half for my next meal. Owners have always been nothing but nice to me and they work really hard so you gotta respect that. Gonna be really sad when I have to move away from this neighborhood.“

“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“

“I ordered Morikawa Bento via delivery app & what an incredible experience!

The Makunouchi (Unagi) is easily among the most outstanding I've ever eaten, maybe even the best. Such a delightful presentation and true to the traditional bento & Ekiben forms, where you discover hidden items as you eat & each side dish feels fresher & more delicious than the last. Feels like a very generously-portioned (in case you're doubting the price tag) home cooked meal prepared and packed by someone with a rare amount of intention & care for not just how the food will taste, but how well it will travel. You can feel the that the chef wants your meal to be a joyful experience filled with little surprises. Truly a new favorite meal of mine in the city that I plan to order again and again.“

“Mariana, our waitress was wonderful. The teriyaki salmon combination was delicious, as well as the soft shell crab and tempura appetizer. The miso soup and cucumber salad that came with the combination was the best I have had. Topped it off with green tea and red beans ice cream. Mmmmmm!“

“Delicious pho, my daughter is a huge pho fan and she loved it. The gyoza and fresh tasting veggie shrimp rolls in rice paper with peanut sauce on the side were equally as good.

The Kung pao chicken was better than any I’ve had at the surrounding Chinese restaurants in the Skokie/Morton Grove/Glenview area. HUGE portions. Extremely reasonable prices. Kenny the owner is an incredibly nice and inviting person.“

“Best Chinese food in the city—hands down. Everything is consistently delicious. I usually keep it simple with a combo fried rice, egg roll, crab rangoon, and a Sprite, and it never misses. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend.“

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

“Great food and always great service.“
