Noodles near River Forest, IL

“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)!! ♥️“

“Great food and eclectic music. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best asian food in Transylvania“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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. �“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!“

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

“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.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is tucked in a massive, mostly empty building near an Asian grocery store. It gives the vibes of Beijing post 2008 Paralympics when all of a sudden no one made things look good for westerners. It’s cash only.

Despite appearances, this is the most authentic Chinese food I’ve had since I was in China in college! My husband and I went back multiple times while we were in town. It was great each time. They have an extensive menu so given that it’s not a bustling place, I’m not sure if the more eclectic dishes are super fresh. But again, you’re getting authentic cuisine and that’s sometimes part of it!

The jiao zi are amazing! The portion sizes are great for the price. You can’t get them in this amount or for the cost anywhere else in the Hinsdale or Oakbrook Terrace areas. Definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian option for potstickers, dumplings, 2 tofu dishes, and sautéed mixed veggies. They may be able to make other vegetation dishes upon request.

Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant is full up front but the lot itself is quite large. We did not struggle to find a place to park

Kid-friendliness: The building is a wide open floor plan with tables to accommodate families & groups. If a toddler needed to run, there’s lots of space to do that away from others eating. The bathroom, however, would pose a challenge for diaper changes. This building is so massive though that a nursing mom or a diaper changing dad could tuck away in one of the corners and have more privacy than a changing table in a multi stall bathroom. It’s dimly lit on the outer room edges away from the restaurants.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all one floor. There are double doors to go through that may not have an operational hands-free opener. The floor layout has multiple tables with chairs and a free wider, open sections to get to the restaurant counter to order“

“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.“

“This place is a local gem!!!! Everything I've ordered was fantastic! Love their pot stickers, crab rangoon, and their egg rolls! Kenny makes all the sauces in house!!!! The smoothies and Japanese sodas are faves with my kids. Wonderful spot and great people that work there!“

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

“My love for Thai food had we visited Nathan’s Noodles and I had to say the food was great. Only tried two entrees but they were well seasoned for my taste buds. Owner is friendly and seems very generous person. When I’m in town will keep visiting and try more items on the menu!!!!“

“Everything was delicious 😋 the crazy noodles 🍝 amazing 😉 thank you 🙏“

“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'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 ??“

“I love the food here, and the customer services is great“

“Solid quality sushi, average to good Chinese dishes, fair Thai. Consistent in taste, so I know what to expect. Service is fast, customer service is okay. Unfortunately, I'm not able to try some of the dishes because they're not able to confirm whether they're gluten free or not.“
