Noodles near Skokie, IL

“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 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.“

“Delicious pho, my daughter is a huge pho fan and she loved it. The gyoza and fresh tasting veggie shrimp rolls in rice paper with peanut sauce on the side were equally as good.

The Kung pao chicken was better than any I’ve had at the surrounding Chinese restaurants in the Skokie/Morton Grove/Glenview area. HUGE portions. Extremely reasonable prices. Kenny the owner is an incredibly nice and inviting person.“

“Incredible experience. I will definitely be back. Tried the monster and the spicy summer. Both were amazing. Oh and can’t forget the Gyoza. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!!“

“I loved this place! Excellent food and service. Very friendly atmosphere. Store front is well lit and nicely organized. Our table was clean. The plates were very nice.
Only room for improvement may just be deep cleaning aspects. Otherwise, I will be coming back for the authentic food!“

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

“Very yummy 🥰❤️👍 อร่อยมากๆคะรสเด็ดไทยแท้“

“This place was so cute and the food was amazing! We got the chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, crispy basil pork belly and crab fried rice. My favorite was the crispy basil pork belly! It was incredible and flavorful.

I also appreciated the cute decor. It was very charming inside and felt cozy.“

“The food was amazing, I had the pat thai and my husband had the pat see ew.
Delicious and you could tell they use fresh ingredients.
The Thai tea was perfection! 🙂
And Melissa was the nicest person to host, she was very nice and personal and I will definitely will be back.
The most authentic Thai in the area.“

“My husband and I stopped into NoodleBird while visiting Logan Square, and we’re so glad we did. Everything we ate and drank was absolutely delicious. The Pork & Ginger Dumplings, Charcoal Chicken, and Ginger Lemon & Turmeric Soda were all standouts and definitely worth ordering. I also loved the thoughtful detail of the owner’s grandparents’ photos on the bathroom doors. It was such a sweet, personal touch. We’re already looking forward to eating here again the next time we’re in Chicago.“

“I wanted to like this place, but I have to say I was a bit let down. The twice cooked pork and vegetable delight came out very quickly, and did taste a bit like it was directly reheated (also thought the flavor was a bit lacking from the twice cooked pork). That being said, the crab noodles which are not pictured were absolutely delicious. In addition, the service was solid and the atmosphere is quite nice. Perfect for a quick meal on a Sunday evening if you’re in the area craving Chinese food. If the twice cooked pork were better, I’d be much more of a fan.“

“Portion sizes were larger than expected, and the crab rangoons are pretty good! I feel the pad thai noodles are lacking in flavor and sauce. I added more fish sauce and lime juice at home and it went from sad to decent but I'm not sure I'll order that again.“

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

“I've even driven almost 2hours just to enjoy the food here . I Live in a small town in Wisconsin .
The food here is delicious , authentic and comforting , the Staff is always warm , welcoming .
I truly appreciate this restaurent for giving me a little piece of home every time i come
Highly recommend .“

“Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!“

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

“If you love ginger and a crispy noodle, Penny's Noodle Shop has the best Lad Nar from the city to the burbs. Nothing else like it. The light sauce has ginger, carrots and broccoli and is consistently amazing! Best when dining in but take out good too. Take noodles on the side for takeout and mix it up at home. Delicious every time.“

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

“The four of us had a great time at this local gem. We had curry with rice, drunken noodles, and two orders of “chef’s gone crazy”—the chef cooked whatever he wanted for us and they were both pleasant surprises! Everything was delicious, and I have to say that their 3/5 spice level is a pretty solid 3/5. You could definitely taste the spiciness, but it wasn’t the main star of the show. If you like your food spicy, I’d say even go higher.“

“Highly recommend. I had the most flavorful Miso soup I have ever had. Its a nice quiet cozy atmosphere and the lady serving us was extremely kind. I will be going back soon. Everything we ate was delicious. I recommend the Spring Train sushi roll.“

“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!!“

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

“We ordered the crab rangoons, tiger cry, khao soy, and pad thai.

Everything was super delicious! The perfect amount of spice and flavor. Highly recommend trying this local Thai spot. Interior was bright/clean and service was friendly and attentive.“

“Specialty Korean restaurant that offers several classic Korean dishes for a competitive price.

The restaurant has plenty of seating parties between 2-4 people.

The chicken bento box was a good value for the portions but it could've used a little more spice in the chicken bulgogi.

The service was consistent and the food came out promptly.

There is limited street parking. This restaurant is best accessed by public transit or by foot.“

“Really good authentic food. These servers are meticulous and anticipated every need before we even asked. I dined with 5 friends and all 6 of us got different orders and all loved each one. I next found myself trying to figure out what I would order next time I’m there!“

“Viet fusion has brought me back to Vietnam. Fresh ingredients you can TASTE! The owner is so wonderful and very friendly! Ordered the FAMOUS bahn mi(viet fusion bahn mi), I kept hearing about and let me say.. this is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Fresh, crispy and delicious. Presentation was amazing as well. Bread was soft and I wanted to order another LOL. Pho here is traditional and I can say the servings are large! Don’t be shy to ask what’s in the soup! Drink menu is also available just have to ask! I will be back! So happy I finally went in to try.“

“The menu is small but if you are not familiar with Taiwanese flavor profiles (nobody at our table was), it could be difficult to decide what to try. Fortunately the staff is wonderful and patient and very helpful. We had a terrific server, Max, who was very fun and gave us a lot of information then made recommendations that were spot-on. We really enjoyed our meal and the whole dining experience, and will certainly come back to try other dishes.“

“Jaiyen is a total neighborhood gem! The sushi is always fresh, but this is actually one of my favorite places to get beef teriyaki—the meat is incredibly tasty and the sauce is perfect. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, the quality is consistently great. Highly recommend!“

“Really yummy food and really good service.“

“I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. Both times I’ve gone, I’ve had amazing experiences. I highly recommend the yangji seolleongtang! :) I prefer it to the galbi tang. It’s a much milder broth and is still very filling.“

“Great team! They always exceeded expectations!“

“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. �“

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

“I picked up 2 orders of fresh spring rolls today that I was craving and they were delicious and the best I’ve ever had so wanted to leave a review. The sauce they served it with was also delicious and different than I’ve had elsewhere. I also appreciated that the sauce was gluten free, as most places it is not. I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.“

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

“The place has constant turnover, which is good. There are a lot of Thais so you know it'll be good. The change their menu weekly, so follow their IG. Staff is super nice. It's more of an in and out kind of place. Water is available for you to grab yourself. The food and beverages are delicious!!!! All the food is fantastic that we tried.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

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

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

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

“Love this place. Pot stickers, egg drop soup and egg rolls are my go-to’s. The husband favors the orange chicken.

UPDATE: this place is under new ownership and the food all tastes very different to me. The husband still loves this restaurant and thinks some of the food is improved; I tried the new eggrolls and they were a salt bomb.“

“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!“

“Great food great service clean space Reasonably priced“

“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“

“Been coming to Yatai frequently for about two years now, and every time it meets or exceeds my expectations. Service is quick and the workers are kind and check in on you frequently to make sure you have everything you need. Prices are fair especially for the portions (rice bowls, fried rice, noodle dishes, etc). My personal favorites from the menu are the crab rangoons and the crunchy sweet potato tempura rolls! BYOB and they’ll provide glasses if you need them! Absolutely love this place, cannot recommend it enough.“

“We had a great experience at Penny’s Oak Park. I ordered their version of pho with beef, and it was really good. For my daughter, I got the fried rice and egg noodles from the kids menu, and those were okay. What really stood out was the service. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive, and especially good with my daughter, which made the experience even better. The location is convenient, the space was clean, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming. I’d definitely come back.“

“Che Thai is a fantastic local spot and everything we’ve tried has been delicious. The Pad See Ew is hands down the best I’ve had in Chicago — perfectly tender noodles, well-cooked chicken, and incredible flavor. Just so good.

The garlic noodles are also a standout. The lo mein noodles are thicker than expected, which actually makes the dish even more comforting and satisfying.

We’ll definitely be regulars here. Pro tip: order on Toast — they prefer it.“

“The food here is fantastic“

“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!“
