“We live in the NW suburbs. This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area. The pho has a heady aroma and other dishes I've had there were excellent. To get as good, you have to go into Chicago, and even there, few are any better.“
“The atmosphere for New Year's Eve was lively and loud to be sure. Entering through a back door into a narrow space was odd and not the most welcoming set-up, especially having parked on the street along Milwaukee Ave. The dining area was comfortable, aside from a couple guests who were loud and could be heard from several tables away. Service was good and pleasant though robotic and somewhat forced. The gentleman refilling water was superb and always on his game! We never had less than half a glass full---much appreciated! We came to Chrissoulas, having read excellent reviews. The food was good, including the pasta with chorizo and octopus and gyro. The pork medallions were only three, however, with a whole lot of salad, leaving one guest in our party inadequately full and value for the money poor. Menu options were overpriced in general though not outrageous. Two televisions playing sports over the bar did not seem in keeping with a fine dining establishment, but rather with a sports bar. Overall Chrissoulas was a decent experience with good food but not deserving of the amazing reviews seen elsewhere---a solid 3-4 stars out of 5.“
“An Old School traditional Steakhouse nestled in the North shore!!! The servings and hearty and the Service is top notched...No5 many steakhouse give you a wet aged/Dry aged option to choose from!!! If you have an ounce of patience(Driving-wise) make that trip!!!“
“I absolutely love this place! Outstanding Customer Service, Food, Drinks, Atmosphere and amazing professional Staff.

Everything by far is delicious. Thank you for helping us make our Birthdays memorable and making us feel at home! ?“
“This restaurant is my favorite treat. The food is so flavorful, good portions, and has always arrived hot upon delivery. I love how there are so many different flavors between the dishes, so I can order a variety. One of my favorites is the butter chicken and dipping the naan bread into the sauce. Yum!!“
“Would highly recommend Kuro bistro for the playful menu, house-made sauces, fresh ingredients, great service, and relaxed ambience. We had hibachi scallops, sushi pizza on crispy rice, several rolls, and hibachi shrimp. We also ordered a side of the amazing spicy fermented daikon pickes and gomae. The kyuuri roll would be a perfect lunch choice too. Everything was very good and service was excellent. Lots more to explore on the menu, will be returning many times.“

“Can’t beat this place for ribs. Been going for decades. They still fall off the bone they are so tender. Service is great, lovely dining room across the street from Diamond Lake. Good wine list and extensive menu. We would go more often if it wasn’t so pricey but it’s our go-to spot for special occasions.“
“This restaurant exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The inviting ambience, with dimly lit surroundings and fitting decor, set the perfect stage for a memorable date night. Frank, our server, displayed exceptional professionalism, making us feel like valued patrons from the moment we arrived. A notable touch was Bill, who took the time to introduce himself, adding a classy and personal touch to our dining experience. The beverage selection, featuring the Key Lime Martini, Dragon Martini, and Calypso Coffee, impressed with generous portions and delightful flavors. The Blackened Seafood Platter appetizer showcased quality and quantity, preparing us for the outstanding soups to follow--Clam Chowder and Seafood Rice Soup, both notable highlights. The Alaskan Halibut and Jumbo Stuffed Shrimp entrees demonstrated the restaurant's mastery in seafood preparation, delivering dishes with rich flavors and impeccable cooking. Our culinary journey concluded with the Caramel Custard Flan dessert, a fittingly delightful end to an exquisite meal. The overall experience, marked by impeccable service, inviting ambiance, and stellar cuisine, undoubtedly earns this establishment a solid five-star recommendation. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays added a charming note, making our evening even more enjoyable. We eagerly anticipate our return to savor the exceptional offerings once again.“
“Our Veal Marsala was great. We both had the same thing. The portions were so large that we had a lot to take home, and we have enough for another dinner. We were celebrating my wife's Birthday and they provided a delicious Italian Lemon cake, ice cream with chocolate sauce. Most of all our server, Maria, was excellent. Her Birthday is today, the day after my wife's birthday. We will be back very soon!“
“My fav thai spot in the area! It’s no frills, delicious and authentic. Lunch special are great too! Love the iced coffee, lad na, basil eggplant with ground pork, catfish pad phet, and so much more. Yum!Kid-friendliness: Custom made a small chicken noodle soup for my guy.“
“Loved the atmosphere, the service was on point and the food was great! I enjoyed the filter oscar and the not so dark and stormy. My bf had the medallion trio and an old fashioned. He loved it. Calamari was cris, y and the marinara sauce was out standi. The rolls were good too! Definitely will be returning.“
“Went here on a Friday night recently for the first time with a friend. The host and the waitress made sure that my first experience would be unforgettable. We received delicious appetizers on the house. Service was probably the best service I've received in a really long time. And most importantly the food was delicious and fresh. Staff put so much effort into their service and food. It was refreshing to have such a positive experience at a local restaurant for a change. Will be back again soon!“

“We have been searching for decent “Chinese” food since moving to mchenry 8 months ago and NOTHING in the area was even close to being good. This was the first time I’ve had it since moving and I can FINALLY say we found the place. The egg rolls were so good, which is usually my biggest test on a place! The beef egg food young was also great, no big chunks of onions either. It was a good portion of ingredients, and the flavor was spot on. My husband had the chicken fried rice and orange chicken and he said it was really good - he usually says “it was fine” whenever we get Chinese, so this is a big compliment coming from him. The service getting the food was quick and still warm when we got it. I do remember coming here years ago, and remember it being really a great atmosphere and really good. So luckily with Uber Eats, we were able to have it delivered. I am thrilled to say I FINALLY found my go to spot!!!!“
“We were greeted by the sound of live music. How unexpected & fun. I ordered the paella. It was very good and made me feel like I was on vacation at the beach! My husband had a fish filet stuffed with shrimp and cheese. The service was great, the food outstanding, and the atmosphere was fun.We will return.“
“We were celebrating a birthday of a relative, and the food and service were great. However, there are two rooms where we were in one of them, and the sound of music and laughing and stuff carries from one room to another, interfering with speakers and conversations. Also, to get to a bathroom we had to walk through a room where other people had their own party, essentially violating their privacy. Still a good choice with reasonable prices.“
“Thank you Tony and Young for sharing cheer every year for my birthday since 2006!! Every memory with you both has made my life better!! Teaching me how to clean my grill to how to make the best rice!!! You both have touched many lives and gave lake county excellent Golden Shrimp to teriyaki sauce!!! Every meal of Filet Mignon combination Golden Shrimp with a side order of Golden Shrimp has been perfect and the same for 17 years! I am glad you both get to rest and relax after the New Year!!!! I will miss you both moving to Dubuque, purchasing cups and plates makes me feel like I’m there even more!!! ❤️“

“Took way to long to get food. All o ordered was wings and fries. Once the wings finally came out, they were delicious seasoned very well and crispy. Then I ordered wings to go and 1 our later I still didn't have my order. The bartender said the kitchen already brought them out. I don't know who they gave my order too but it wasn't me. So then I had to wait another 20 min.“
“The delicious food, the unique service and the incredible atmosphere, the best option, we ordered aguachile, toast and a cocktail, everything was very delicious. I had to be with live music, no good, the best plus, you will not regret it, without a doubt, a very good option, keep it up with that quality, we will be frequent customers☺️ CONGRATULATIONS ?“
“I came here for my moms birthday, and I have no regrets. The food was very delightful and tasty. I had their truffle cheese stuffed ravioli, and it was amazing. I'm very excited to see what else they have to offer.The waiter helping us was of very kind by suggesting my mom a wine without much history with wine. She is a people pleaser and admitted she wasn't the biggest fan, but the ability to offer one's experience to assist was great nonetheless.“
“We hired Froggy's from a list of approved caterers at our venue. They also provided some dessert. Froggy's tried to meet all our requests and people seemed to enjoy the food. The service was attentive during our meal and open bar time. There were some unfortunate issues at the end of the night and a missing cake, but Froggy's did their best to resolve them (for example, making a new cake top for us to enjoy on our first anniversary).“
“I was pleasantly suprised. The Fillet was fantastic . Served medium rare the way I like it. I could almoat cut it with a fork. The baked potatoe was asume as well. My server Holly was exceptional! She was pleasant, funny, and very helpful! Thank you Holly.“

“Tokio Sake is a special place for our family. When we dine in person, we always find the staff attentive and friendly. You can also watch the sushi chefs meticulously preparing the sushi. They are prompt when we place take out orders. Most important of all, the caliber of the sushi is outstanding. We are a family of 6 and we all rate Tokio Sake sushi as the best in the area. Some of our favorites are Spicy Tuna Crunch and Alaska Roll. If you're looking for a great dining experience, this is the place for you!“
“Had a fabulous meal at Flame India (Libertyville location) tonite. Had the chicken & cilantro samosa for appetizer & for my main dish butter chicken & chili cheese naan. Our server Peter was very nice & attentive. I cant wait to come back again!“
