Noodles near Niles, IL

“We went in on a whim. My kids really wanted to have ice cream at Dairy Queen next door for lunch, lol, but we decided they should actually eat some food. We had never been there, but will definitely be back! It was So good! We had Teriyaki chicken, chicken chow mein, or maybe they were lo mein noodles, and 2 kinds of egg rolls. It was all not only delicious, but different than anywhere else. Those egg rolls were maybe the best we’ve ever had. Even my picky eater kids liked it all! Plus, the staff were extremely nice and genuinely glad that we stopped in. A must try for sure.“

“We were just in the Niles location after basketball. Of course our son was starving. Eric that took our order was so polite, wonderful and made good suggestions. He even came and brought our to go order to us as we had sat at a table. It was a nice gesture instead of just calling our name. 5 stars for Eric and his smiley face name tag.“

“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!!“

“We tried shio and shoyu ramen, both were great based on your preference. I personally love beef broth ramen, which is rare to find in Chicago. Definitely would go back to try miso broth too. The soup was not too salty like most ramen shops, and the noodles were thin and still al dente, which is quite impressive. The portion size was perfect. I'm not a fan of the backless counter chairs. We went late afternoon on Saturday and the place was nearly full at an odd hour.“

“Just ate here. It was amazing! The owner is the nicest guy!“

“So delicious we wrote this review! We tried a variety of things- potstickers, Yakisoba, kimbop, and some sushi rolls. Everything was fresh, very flavorful, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Server was knowledgeable, service was quick, prices were reasonable. We wish we lived closer to go more often but it’s worth the drive!“

“I really appreciate how clearly the vegan or vegetarian options are listed. They are able to make a few things vegan and a few things are already vegan. Their smoked tofu, although extra to add, is really good. Not bland and mushy like many omni places. They also have a happy hour 4-6 with a few vegan options! I got the chili peanut noodles with tofu and loved it. I also got the corn fritters to start, great just the dipping sauce isn’t vegan fyi.“

“as someone who loves thai food, i go to rice & noodles at least once a week. i work a couple blocks away so it is super convenient for me to stop by here for their lunch specials. my food is always ready on time and the staff is super friendly.“

“Awesome place!! I can't recommend this place high enough- super yummy food and very friendly staff!!“

“Dietary restrictions: There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on the menu.

Parking: The restaurant is located inside the mall next to the Seafood City grocery store. Huge parking lot- never an issue finding a space

Kid-friendliness: My kids (14 and 9) have been eating with us here for a couple of years- they’re always excited to go. The Vietnamese travel/cooking shows they have on the background tv are reaal interesring and fun to watch“

“This is the real deal. A must try gem in Forest Park, IL. Thank you for making my son's birthday so special. I can't wait to take my family to dine out at your place.“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

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

“Some of the best Thai food in the city. Our favorite dishes include their mooping, chive dumplings, satay, pad Thai, and all the curries. The curries aren’t overly sweet like I’ve tasted elsewhere, and their pad Thai has just the right amount of tamarind to make it legit. Thank you for high-quality Thai food, R Haaan.“

“Delicious food, friendly staff and eclectic ambiance. So often, Thai places are too brightly lit and lacking in a cool vibe I guess? This place has low lighting and fun decor. I Ordered Pad See Ew with tofu, tempura shrimp maki roll and at $25 - they offered a choice of freebie - veggie egg roll was great. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Excited to head back for a winter happy hour soon. Welcome to Rogers Park, Ezankaya!“

“We had a great meal here! The food was super fresh and tasted amazing. The seafood, especially the octopus and shrimp, was cooked just right, and the broth in the soup was so flavorful and comforting. Everything was really well-prepared, and the service was friendly too. Definitely a spot we’d come back to! ❤️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5“

“Puk was our server and she was truly the best. The food was amazing as always. The service was fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable and the food is so fresh and flavorful. Definitely try if you are looking for Thai food in Chicago!

Vegetarian options: The best vegetarian options. Almost any dish can be made to your accommodation

Parking: They have free parking on the side street and also street parking in front

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly environment“

“This was a great little surprise date night spot. Not a huge menu but everything they had on the menu was fresh and great. The owner served us and she was a gear host

We dined in on a week night

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for kids“

“This is the best Chinese food I ever had by a mile. Everything is quality and authentic. You will be happy you found this place once you do and will never order from other less quality places if you know what I mean. Quality Chinese food. Not easy to find.“

“After hearing great things, I finally had a chance to eat at Thai Neighbor. Let me tell you, I have never felt so welcome in a restaurant ever. Food is incredible and it is run by the most lovely people.

Everything was excellent. Way above and beyond my expectations. Run, don’t walk, to Thai Neighbor next time you’re looking for a good meal.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

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

“Great team! They always exceeded expectations!“

“I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant yet but we order take out almost weekly. We recently moved to the suburbs from Chicago and have been disappointed with the Thai places we’ve tried. We’ve finally found our go to place to order from! Food is always delivered still warm and fresh. You can choose your spice level and even the medium be quite spicy so order accordingly. We love this place and hope it stays around!“

“This is my first time at Old orchards Noodles restaurant, I think it was very good 💯 eating there and I think you should try it out

Parking: Free parking 🅿️ all the time I'm sure you know, does have handicap parking, and has for parking in some areas you can go up on the 2nd 3rd or 4th level to park your car 🚗“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. 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.“

“Family of 4 - myself and son split the All you can eat Sushi, while my husband and daughter split a couple of the Chinese entrees. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Everything we received came out fresh and delicious. Everyone left full and satisfied with their meals! I think this might be a new favorite spot. There was a lot of food we wanted to try and can't wait to come back to try more!“

“Food was fresh and delicious. Service was great and prices are very reasonable.“

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

“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. �“

“Solid 4 place. Its weird when restaurant's main dish is their name of business and other dish is better...
Like I tried their selleongtang, and this time, their galbitang and bossam.
And their bossam is the best dish for me.
I think the price plays into this factor and also, when you have legendary restaurant in same city that is known for sellongtang, aka Hanbat, its hard not to compare.
Hanbat is much cheaper and better taste.

Galbitang, I also prefer the taste of Joongboo, its more savory and cheaper. Piece of this wang galbi has more aesthetic appealing, but little meat, harder to eat, contains more fat.

Bossam on the other hand, was very nice and good price also.“

“I came here with my mom today for lunch, and we were both pleasantly
surprised. We liked the cute atmosphere ,the cleanliness, and most importantly, the food!!! We got the lunch specials! It includes an appetizer/soup/main meal. It was a great price for great food!!! We will definitely be back here again soon.“

“Great food great service clean space Reasonably priced“

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

“The food here is fantastic“

“we get takeout from here a lot. we love the basil chicken, the tom yum, tofu red curry and the tempura. most recent order we got pad see ew and it was borderline inedible - mushy and flavorless. but in general this place plays the hits well!“

“My all time favorite Thai Green Curry Zoodles with Shrimp. ���“

“I love this particular location and their staff! They always make sure my food is bomb af even when there’s a ton of orders they need to get through(like tonight)!! ♥️“

“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 live near the Chicago Marathon, and it’s rare to find a Chinese restaurant in a residential area. I have to say that the price is really cheap, and the portions are American-sized. Three people ordered a portion of fried rice, egg rolls, and a bowl of hot and sour soup, and there was more to take away. go back. There are also additional snacks, which together with the service fee are $26. It's a pity that I was too hungry and forgot to take pictures. It's really worth recommending.“

“Thank goodness this place exists. This is your classic Chinese-American take out joint and the food is simply delicious. We ordered two dinner specials and a crab rangoon app - generous portions, hot, fresh, and tasty. Specifically, there is an element of “wok hay” (a Cantonese phrase denoting smoky aroma and flavor) present in the cooking that makes it 5 stars for me.

Don’t expect any level of “service”; that’s not the point here. This is a mom and pop shop operated by weary food industry veterans. Just pick up your plate, quit yapping, and enjoy what you ordered because you won’t regret it.

Friend chiming in: Regarding the service, the woman is lovely. You get everything you need and neither more or less, perfect in my opinion.

Parking: Small parking lot but easy to navigate“

“I’ve been going here since they first opened and it has been my favorite Thai place ever since. There’s no shortage of Thai restaurants in the city and burbs and I’ve tried MANY of them, yet none have ever topped Beyond Thai. My partner and I order from here pretty much once a week, sometimes more. Everything I’ve ever tried on the menu has been top notch. The staff is always friendly and the prices are reasonable, which is SO rare these days. My top recommendations are the pad Thai, ALL of their curries, and especially the curry puffs!

Vegetarian options: Many of the menu items can be easily made veggie. I often get the curries or pad Thai with veggies or tofu.

Dietary restrictions: My partner has some dietary restrictions so we sometimes have to make special requests to remove certain ingredients and they always oblige“

“This place is a real gem! My family and I ordered takeout — the Inbox Pad Thai is a must-have. The thin rice noodles are a really nice twist to traditional Pad Thai. We also got the Lad Nar as an entree and the chive dumplings and shu mai as appetizers. I highly recommend the chive dumplings — they are super crispy on the outside and have a delicious filling! 🥟“

“This place is absolutely delicious!! Had the Mentai Cream Sauce Udon and it was BOMB -- I loved it. At first glace, it looks basic but it is extremely flavorful and the garnishes (green onions, sprouts, cheese, tempura bits) added to the dish well. It was creamy but not too heavy. I would order extra udon next time to soak up the leftover sauce.“

“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.“

“Love this local casual eatery featuring Vietnamese dishes. Delicious iced coffee and bun cha gio with beef & rice noodles with a crispy egg roll, so flavorful and affordable. Quick and cozy place in Skokie to dine, huge menu & friendly staff, nice neighborhood vibe.“
