“In the area and I needed something to eat. So I stopped in Andy's, got the grilled chicken sandwich and French fries. Sandwich was delicious, perfectly cooked, and the fries were the skinny shoestring ones, my favorite!

Great food and service, if you're looking for a place to get a good bite to eat, stop in.
Don't be fooled by its unassuming appearance”

“If you’re a fan of Egg Foo Young, The China Palace is your new sanctuary. I’ve tried this dish at a dozen places, but they’ve truly mastered the craft here.
The patties are perfectly golden—crispy on the outside but incredibly light and airy on the inside, never greasy or heavy. They are packed with fresh bean sprouts and scallions that give every bite a satisfying crunch. But the real star is the gravy. It’s rich, savory, and has that deep, authentic flavor that makes you want to drizzle it over everything on the table.
Generous portions, served piping hot, and consistently delicious. If you’re coming here, this dish is a non-negotiable must-order!”

“Fast service and nice and hot”

“Was skeptical because of the negative reviews I read about the service and the food. But I must say I had a positive experience 😌… Got the catfish lunch Special, it was firer 🔥🙌🏽… Didn’t know what I wanted Initially, the cashier was helpful didn’t rush me or make me feel like I was holding her time. She even verified with the cook if I was ordering the right fish and helped others while I thought about what I wanted. Her name was Evelyn, customer service skills go crazy. Very pleasant and attentive to customers. Which is rare these days🤷🏽‍♀️. Best $10 I spent all week on some food 😋… so good forgot to take a picture… Glad I came in to see for
Myself or would’ve missed out..”

This place is also filled with beautiful greenery and gives such calm, and refreshing vibes. Ixxa coffee is top-notch- rich, smooth and clearly made with care and the teas are just as impressive. The baristas are super friendly, knowledgeable, and always make you feel welcome. Whether you’re here to sip a latte, browse the plants, or just soak in the cozy ambiance, this spot is pure perfection.”

“Finally made it out to Tea+Poke and I’m legit sad it took me that long to get there. The people are kind, the environment is welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious. The pineapple passion fruit tea was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t decide what to get because TBH the entire menu looks delicious. Staff recommended the Korean Beef Short Rib bowl and an I added an orange chicken bowl as well. Both were winners. So much so, I’ll definitely be back to eat and drink my way through the menu. Highly recommend. 🥰”

“I’ve loved this place since the day I started ordering it! I order this almost every week or every other week when I’m at work in the evening. It’s always delivered fresh and warm and the chicken is amazing the seasonings are fantastic! And the names of the items to order are hilarious also the humor in me makes me laugh at them!”

“My husband Jack and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary tonight, and on a last minute whim he chose Bella Mia. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I had to write this review immediately. The moment we walked in, we were greeted not only by the host and hostess, but also by several staff members and even guests at the bar. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. Pure class. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and perfectly accented with soft candlelight, making the evening feel special and intimate. We sat at the bar and were welcomed by Gina, the bartender, who was extremely attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The owner, Randy, came by to greet us and his personality was truly infectious. He had us laughing nonstop and made our night even more memorable. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to Marcy and Dick, regulars who have been coming since day one. Even though this was our very first visit, we felt like part of the Bella Mia family. From the staff to the clientele, the love and pride behind this place are undeniable. Bella Mia is truly one of a kind and deserves all the recognition it receives. We felt all the love and will absolutely be back again and again. Jessica O’Grady”

“This is now one of my favorite spots in the southwest suburbs. Food was delicious, I got a chicken shawerma platter and my friend got the shawafel sandwich.
The chicken was seasoned to perfection and super tender. The falafel was really tasty. I’m so glad I tried this place out and will 1000% be back in the future.
The owner was really nice and welcoming, giving everyone that walked in a free falafel with hummus. That’s the kind of hospitality that brings people back. Not only was the food good, the atmosphere was a 10/10. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars, I highly recommend trying it out.”

“I’ve been coming here for over 20 years, and the experience has always been exceptional. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and the customer service is truly superior. They never disappoint!”
