Noodles near Oak Park, IL

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

“Love at first bite!

I can't say enough about how well both lunch specials tasted. Peak level of flavors and a warm touch of authentic family cooking. The pad thai sauce was amazing and an instant recommendation. The Pad kee mao noodles texture were tender and bouncy. The spice was above medium and enhanced the meal. The teas had a balanced sweetness and plenty of textures.
The music playlist matched the cozy and bold color pops. The staff were very friendly and offered some samples of the delicious Ube ice cream. Over all my new favorite Thai restaurant and will explore more of the menu.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best tom kar soup I've ever had. The red curry was delicious with just the right amount of spice. It felt like someone's grandma was in there cooking. The service was amazing the staff was attentive all at a great price.“

“I came to this restaurant in February of this year for my birthday, and 6 months later I’m still thinking about this ramen and trying to see when I can go back. Had the Monster Ramen and it was the most flavorful ramen I’ve ever tried. Definitely excited to go back and either get it again or try something else, I’m sure everything they have is just as good.“

“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!!“

“Low prices large Portion sizes great food“

“My husband and I haven’t had thai food since our honeymoon in Thailand, and this place hit the spot! The khao soi was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Tom Kha (his favorite soup in thailand) and it was the perfect spice level for him. We shared the crab egg omelet and that was also phenomenal. Highly recommended if you want a taste of genuine Thai cuisine.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best asian food in Transylvania“

“[Pho Restaurant Name] is a hidden gem that elevates the humble bowl of phở into something quietly remarkable. The broth is a masterclass in patience — crystal clear, deeply aromatic, and rich with the essence of slow-simmered bones and spices.

I had the P7, and the rare beef melted effortlessly into the broth. Accompanied by fresh herbs, lime, and crisp sprouts, each bite felt personal and deeply satisfying.
Service was gracious, the space calm and inviting.

In a world of culinary trends, [Pho Restaurant Name] stays true to its roots — and in doing so, offers something far more enduring.“

“The food and service was excellent. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here.
Please try the Mapo tofu and biang biang noodles! You can ask to alter your spice level with every dish and we were very satisfied with the level of spice.“

“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.“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

“The food was delicious and extremely fresh! Highly recommend! Ban Mi is 5 ⭐️. Large portions, very clean and friendly staff!“

“Delicious food. Wonderful service.“

“Would rate 5 stars if they made their Pad see ew dishes less oily!! Would also love to see drunken noodle available on their ubereats menu. Their vege fried rice with shrimp is really good. The tom yum I had was WAY too sweet. Dishes are hit or miss but I like ordering here. If you take in the feedback, you will be my fav!“

“My go-to place for everything pasta. Penne Rosa is my favorite“

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

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

“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.“

“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)!! ♥️“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“I was wondering around by myself trying to find a hidden Chicago gem and I stumbled across Penny's Noodle Shop! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The workers are so friendly, warm, and inviting, making you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and cooked to order, which really makes a difference. They have a great selection of Asian cuisine, with something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the location is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal near the ballpark. Highly recommend!

Had the Hot Pepper Noodles with Beef and the Gyozas. Both were fantastic“

“The food here is really good. They use high quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. The dried chilli hot sauce is made in house and is so good, I always ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food. I will ksep coming back. They also have a full bar, which is great.“

“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“

“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.“

“I dropped into this spot for lunch on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the chill vibe, the great playlist, and the attention to service.

The service was quiet and friendly, and the lunch special was delicious at a great rate. I would recommend anyone with a sushi itch go here for a scratch. I hope to come back soon for the other things on the menu.“

“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!“

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

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

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

“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. �“

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

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

“This is my fav Chinese food spot around town. Their tofu is cooked well and everything always tastes great. Service is pretty quick too. I think most people order takeout but dining in is pretty chill too. Also, their prices are pretty reasonable. A lot of food that I usually end up taking home.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The first time I had the food here, it was amazing. I’ve been to Che Thai about 10 times in the past five months—great service every time!

Some of my favorites are the Tom Yum soup, Basil Fried Rice, and Tom Yum Rice. The wings are good too!

There are a few women who work here, but there’s one in particular who is so nice. I absolutely love when she prepares my food—it’s always consistently good 😊.

On the flip side, the younger cooks don’t seem as passionate when it comes to preparing the food. It doesn’t quite taste the same when they’re working. Maybe they’re just getting started or aren’t fully invested yet—I’m not sure.

Overall, I’d give this place an 8/10. Thank you!
Once I get her name, I’ll come back and update this review.“

“If you’re craving some legit Thai food, Rice & Noodles should be on your list. The pad Thai is straight fire—tangy, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The spicy basil chicken? Don’t sleep on it. It’s got the right amount of heat that’ll have you reaching for your water, but it’s so tasty you won’t mind. I spent around $30 for a generous serving of pad Thai and basil chicken, plus a refreshing Thai iced tea. The vibe is chill, and the service is always on point, which makes it a great spot for a quick dinner or a laid-back meal. Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu!"“

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

“If you’re a fan of authentic Thai noodles, this place is a must-visit! Every Tuesday and Wednesday, they serve delicious and authentic Thai noodle dishes at incredibly affordable prices. The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced, just like you’d find in Thailand.

The restaurant is always bustling with customers, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Even when I arrived as early as 6:00 PM, there was already a line, and I had to wait for a seat. However, the wait is absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re craving authentic Thai noodles. Just make sure to go early and be prepared for a little wait—it’s all part of the experience!“

“I just ordered from Morikawa Bento and let me just say I love the goma chicken,it’s my favorite and I also ordered gyoza & karaage they are literally really good. It was also my first time ordering food from there.And I heard that they opened another Morikawa Bento I’m also planning to order from there but,as my first time experience It’s incredible!“

“Great food and always great service.“

“I'm glad that this restaurant is right by next door of my work place. Order here couple times per week.
I usually get BBQ pork, lo mien, salt fish, wonton soup and crab rangoon... all just perfectly good. They aren't too oily as so many other Chinese restaurants. The price is not expensive at all and dishes are huge.
Plus the reception girl is so nice and friendly. I def keep ordering foods here until I move out of this neighborhood ??“

“My go-to take out/delivery place. Always meet my craving. Huge portions for a great price. Staff and delivery drivers are kind, hard-working and accommodating. The last time I ordered they threw in a free egg roll. Love introducing friends to this gem!“
