Noodles near Northbrook, IL

“Stumbled upon to Claypot by happenstance with my fiancée a couple years ago and have been going back since! I thought I wrote a review already but better late than never. This is by far one of our FAVORITE lunch/dinner spots to go to. The food is so flavorful, healthy, and abundant. The service is very attentive. There are some days where it may be slower because they are busy, but it’s a small location with only a few servers so give them grace if that’s happens with you. I brought a party of 12 one time which took basically a quarter of their restaurant on a busy night. Anyway, I’ve brought a majority of my family members here and they all love it!! You not only leave full and happy, but you feel energized rather than groggy/lethargic like other places. Will not stop going to, bringing people to, and recommending this spot ever. Wishing lots of prosperity and business to them.“

“Delicious your food 🍱 very friendly !!!!“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“We have tried a lot of Thai restaurants over the years and R Hann is on another level. The food is exceptional and the staff is genuinely attentive and kind - the kind of place you want to go back to again and again.
A few of our favorites: the moo ping, Thai chicken wings, basil leaves, and khao soy. Order all of them. You will not regret it.
If you have not been here yet, go.“

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

“This place was AMAZING! The food, service, and atmosphere was all 10/10. First off, the owners were incredibly kind and helped us and checked in with us. Also the food was so delicious. You can tell they spend time making their food and it was all definitely fresh. All of our food came out piping hot and fresh and was so delicious also great prices by the way. Also the atmosphere of Manooben was so cozy and cute. Loved this place, definitely recommend, and will be coming back!!“

“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!!“

“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 the taste, yum!😋😋😋😋. l and my friend will go back.“

“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!“

“Scrumptious!!! Huge portions!! Will definitely return!!“

“Everything was sooo good! The squid 🦑 cucumber 🥒 salad was delightful! Must try!

We ordered the beef pho special which was $15.95. We have eaten at many pho restaurants in and out of the city, and I mean many! This pho is similar to most places, it's not the best but it's also not the worst. Despite the reviews saying it isn't flavorful, I think the pho was good for the value and I recommend trying.

We also ordered their special combo rice I think it's #505 on the menu for $18.45, such a great value, so much food! It comes with a grilled pork chop, lemongrass citrusy dipping fish sauce, Chinese sausage, an egg quiche, a fried egg, white rice, a little mini tomato lettuce daikon radish salad, and a mini miso soup!!!! Everything was so flavorful! The pork chop was grilled and had such a really nice flavor. The miso soup had a lot of seaweed in it and it tasted rich and warm! I really enjoyed this dish, highly recommend.

We tried their ice soda with lemon which was $4.50 the server told us that they actually make this in-house themselves it's a sparkling lime drink and it tasted like a bubbly lemonade which I really enjoyed, it wasn't too sweet and was very light and refreshing! Highly recommend, especially for the spring and summer!

We also ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls for $5.75. They are huge, well stuffed, and tasty, definitely recommend.

And we also tried their squid cucumber salad which was $8.95. It comes with squid and thinly sliced cucumber and it has such a great tasting marinade. It tasted a little bit like wasabi so it had a little bit of a kick to it but not overwhelming, you could taste a little bit of the soy sauce but it wasn't too salty, and it had such a nice flavor. It was very unique tasting and I really enjoyed it. The squid had a nice texture and it wasn't rubbery or overly chewy. The cucumber paired very nicely with it giving it a nice fresh taste. It comes served cold FYI. If you're an adventurous eater like I am and want to try something new I recommend trying this dish!

Overall, the customer service was great we were seated immediately and we were served our food quickly as well. The server was nice and answered my questions regarding the menu items. The food was also plated very beautifully and aesthetically. The quality of the food was great no complaints.

We ordered two entrees, two apps, and a drink. What a great value for $60! We left feeling satisfied and despite the low ratings, I'm glad we gave this place a chance. We drove by here one time a while back and never dined in bc we read the negative reviews but today we passed by and we decided to try them and Im glad we did, I would definitely come back!

In terms of the atmosphere, the only feedback I have for management is that the restaurant was freezing cold. When we walked in it was like a freezer I wish they would have turned on the heat and made it more comfortable for their customers sitting in and dining in. I had to wear my jacket because it was just too cold. Also the music wasn't it, you're playing some kind of middle eastern Indian type music which I thought was odd given that it's a Vietnamese restaurant. They need to change the music to match the Asian vibe and make it more inviting. For these reasons, I had to give it three stars for the atmosphere. But for the food and customer service five stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They have a parking lot, plenty of spaces available and an outdoor patio which is nice for warmer weather.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I wanted to give this location props for their lunch on 8/17. Walking in around 1pm, I could tell they had had their butts handed to them and were obviously understaffed. However, in my perspective they were handling the hangry customers very well, were staying calm and the staff that was present seemed to know what they were doing. The only reason for 4 stars is because and (this has happened more than once at this location) rather than suggesting I try my Pesto Cavatappi with pork, they tell me it comes with pork, which is not true. There is an additional charge for any meat on this bowl.“
