“My friends and I went a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered kimbap, tteokbokki, and spicy ramen and everything was absolutely delicious. The server and owner were so kind and attentive. We are planning to visit again. Give this place a try!“
“So glad we found this place. Landed in Chicago from Hawaii and was greeted by snow all day. Looking for comfort food, we found this place. Wonderful staff and I believe he was the owner, made us feel so welcome. The ramen was great and so was the Thai food. Highly recommend. Much aloha to the staff there. The flower girls!“
“We live very close by and were so excited to discover we have one of the tastiest Thai spots in the city within walking distance. Only give the atmosphere 4 stars because it's a teeny tiny restaurant but it's comfortable and when the weather is nice, their patio is cute! But we typically do takeout since it's so easy and close by. The owners and everyone who works there has always been friendly and kind. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Many dishes - noodles and curry - offer a selection for the type of protein so many can be made vegetarian with choosing the option of either tofu or just vegetables.Kid-friendliness: Friendly and allowing of children. My 3 year old daughter loves the chicken satay!“
“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.“
“The people were so friendly, very talkative..it reminded me of how Greek families of old ran their own businesses. The food is amazing in look, style presentation and taste. Alot of selections and the first time I tried the coconut ice cream with strawberries my tongue was in love. Love this place.“
“We wandered in just cuz it looked cool and it knocked it out of the park. While we decided what to order they gave us samples of their chicken jalapeño lumpia and chatted with us. We got the mixed mini lumpia, pork skewers, BBQ Bulgogi Bao, crab lumpia and a coconut smoothie. All of it was so incredibly good. I can’t wait to go back - we’ll definitely dine in next time.“
“Blufish is a hit in our house, the go-to for sushi. What stands out? The fish-to-rice ratio—it’s just perfect, ensuring every bite is packed with fresh, delicious fish. We’re big fans of their nigiri and usually pick a roll or two to complete the meal. A must-try is the house salad with extra ginger sauce, big enough to share and a real standout. For two people, ordering nigiri, a roll, and the salad, the cost comes around thirty-five dollars per person, without drinks. This place is a gem for sushi lovers.“
“Manooben is a gem of a Japanese spot, with its cozy house-like ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. I indulged in their scrumptious udon, which was delightfully light and not too overpowering, along with their crispy tempura. The experience was made even better by the kind and attentive service from the lady who took care of me. Highly recommend this place for a solo dining experience that feels like home.“
“Just ordered take out,got it home, and opened it up. The first thing I noticed is that it is very lightly sauced. I mean very,but it packs a Whole lot of flavor. All of the ingredients where fresh. I mean, I wanted to drive back over there just to tell them how good the food was.“
“It is difficult to find Khao Soi on a Thai menu. It’s a northern Thai dish I fell in love with when I was there and it is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour and spicy with crunch. Its on the menu here although called “Evanston Noodles” be sure to go and check it out!“
“Great, fast dinner. Best dishes are Cantonese, but they make versions of Szechuan and Hunan specialties. Very good wonton soup, as you'd expect of their namesake. Did I mention fast. Carry out orders usually ready in 5-10 minutes. Nice to dine in or carry out.“
“I've been going to Akai Hana since I was a little kid. It's the place I look forward to most in the North Shore area! The sushi is always fresh and the noodle dishes are exceptionally good. I love the spicy beef nabeyaki udon and cold udon especially. My sister and brother love the udon noodle soup. The service is always great here, and the restaurant is clean and pleasant. I love it and will continue to be a returning customer for as long as I can be!“
“This is the best Noodles & Company I have been to because of the service! The staff is incredibly friendly and warm, especially Zach. It seems like he has regulars that he knows on a personal basis. I briefly interacted with Ron as well and he was also very nice.“
“Guaranteed to be the best Chinese restaurant in town. The owner is constantly buying fresh ingredients to insure the best quality.I've lived in China and this place definitely can have the authentic taste.Asian kitchen Express has vegan, and vegetarian options which a lot of other restaurants will not want to provide. Everything is made to orderVegetarian options: Veggies, tofu in every way you imagine“
“This place really goes out of their way to take care of their customers! I arrived 15 minutes after closing and the owner of the restaurant, Fawn, still let me order and personally took care of preparing my food. When trying to give her a tip, she wouldn't even accept it - solely to be nice. The menu and food are both amazing - all around wonderful experience. I wish more restaurant owners and staff were as caring as they are here.“
“This place was clean, warm, and friendly. I ordered rare steak phó. No one seems to actually serve it rare anymore, though. I used to love it when the meat came to the table in a place raw and separate from the broth. Perhaps it's different in different places.The broth was bland, like it hadn't had a chance to simmer long enough for the spices to meld. It's a popular place, though. As I sat there, more and more families arrived to fill this place up. So maybe I'll give this place a try. There is nothing like finding YOUR Phó spot that you can rely on for *really - good - pho*. I'll be back to try again.“
“I love PNS! I've been coming to this location for years and it always hits the spot. I am a big fan of the Vegetarian Bowl with tofu - it's light and healthy but delicious. I've also tried a few appetizers and I've enjoyed everything. I usually call in my orders and they're quick to fulfill and orders are easy to pick up. I hope this store never closes in Northfield!“
“An absolute gem! Siam's House Thai Restaurant offers an exceptional lunch buffet from 11AM-3PM for just $18.95 per person. The food is not only fresh but also made to order, providing a delightful array of flavors. The egg rolls, potstickers, papaya salad, Thai fried rice, drunken noodles, and spicy basil leaf dishes were all incredibly delicious. The option to choose between watermelon or oranges is a refreshing touch. Moreover, the opportunity to add $5 for unlimited curry is an outstanding deal. The value for the quality and quantity of food is unmatched. I highly recommend Siam's House for an outstanding dining experience! Great Vegetarian options! Can even ask for everything to be vegetarian too! Much better since the last set ups since they make everything fresh!!!“
“All around excellent. It is the once ubiquitous Chinese-American restaurant in its classic form. The clean interior is traditional diner booths lit with recessed incandescence under vents, in black weathered and repaired leatherine. Broad dark wood frames trim frame the walls with laquired village scapes float on facing walls. Two sets of dragons trot above either end of the dining room over comfortable midcentury chairs at the plastique table-clothed 4 tops. The fare was commensurate with the decor: fresh ingredients including the fried skin of the egg rolls with a hint of peanut butter. The seafood, poultry, and beef held their distinct character under the unifying Szechuan gravy. The flavors were clear and pleasant. The fried rice could have doubled as dessert for those with a taste for it. The mustard was vaporous and expansive and nothing was over-salted. A very familiar place not to be missed on atmosphere alone, it adds much to the experience. The waitstaff was a delight. The tiny bathroom a sanctuary. The ice water was superb.“
“Atmosphere is quite interesting. I was in the indoor but it felf like we are sitting at outside lolWell in which we had good dinner time.Foods are overall good. My kiddos had 2nd dish after finished first bowl real quick.Tendon dish was super good with Soju but it’s very pricey.“
