“We buy crispy smelt to go here and those are the best! So cruspy even the nect day. Second time we dined in last night. All the food we ordered are authentic chinese and so delicious. We ordered hongkong steak, kung pao chicken- perfectly cooked and the sauce and spiciness is not overpowering.; yeong chow fried rice is yummy too, salt and pepper chicken is not what we expected. We were expecting a chicken but this is chicken strips covered in batter but it turned out really good too. Service is fast and tge owner is akways nice. The place is a typical chinese restaurant with round rables and booth. They just need to remove the table where they put the bakery products, it's just in the way when you walk to the tables.“
“This place never disappoints! I had the best birthday dinner complimented by the best service! Our waiter was Bee, and he was so professional, hardworking and 100 percent dedicated to our happiness! (A party of 8) We left feeling like royalty! We’ll be back again and again!Updated: Went again and it still didn’t disappoint! New pics to prove it! vibes and food are always on point!“
“Epic, memorable lunch. We ordered steaks, and they were perfectly prepared and grilled. The strip steak was a perfect medium as requested, and my filet mignon was a delicious medium rare. No gristle, very tender. Barry, our waiter was accommodating, efficient, and flawless. We had 2 special requests that he honored without blinking an eye. Barry's not your run of the mill waiter. He's entertaining and funny without interfering in conversations. From beginning to end, it was a textbook perfect dining experience.“
“This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is good, service excellent, and atmosphere nice. I had dinner here and they had a new spring menu. My only complaint is that the food menu is a little limited; I would have expected more options. I had the salmon, which was very good, and paired with an appetizer of the crab cake. Finally, the wine selection is more than sufficient.Parking: Parking is not an issue: plenty of space and easy to find.“
“The highlight of my dining experience was, without a doubt, the Barramundi. This dish is a testament to the chef's artistry and the kitchen's commitment to sourcing the freshest, most sustainable produce. The barramundi, a fish known for its buttery texture and delicate flavor, was cooked to perfection. Its skin was crisped to a golden hue, encasing the moist, flaky flesh within. It was served atop a bed of vibrant, seasonal vegetables, each bite a harmonious blend of earth and sea. Parker Restaurant is not just a place to eat; it's a destination for those who appreciate fine dining in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor passing through, a meal at Parker promises not only to satisfy your hunger but to leave you with a lasting impression of culinary excellence.“

“Such a great seafood place, south suburbs, small strip center. I'd heard it was good, today is my first visit and oh boy is this place good the best place for seafood in the whole Chicago area. Yelp showed then add number 51 in the country . Today I had the Lobster Roll, warm. I also tried the fish and chips, both absolutely excellent about the best I've had. This lobster roll is on par with my all time favorite place, Burgundy Square Cafe in Venice, Fl. Both excellent, I'm so glad to know I no longer have to go to Florida to have the best Lobster Roll.I will be back, and often! Luckily Island Shrimp is only 45 minute drive away.“
“If you want true Italian cooking and a friendly atmosphere, then Mangia Napoli is the place. I cannot express enough how great the food is! Thank you to Fonz, Eddie & Vinnie for the excellence in food. Fonz the Zuppa you prepared for our anniversary was beyond excellent! Many thanks“
“We enjoyed the appetizers , drinks dessert and service . Jodie our server was amazing and very attentive. All the recommendations made by her, we loved. Thank you Jodie .We ordered bruschetta , calamari, chopped salad, minestrone soup, peace bianco alla spinaci, pollo positano. Their martinis are amazing and so were their desserts- Affogato, tirmaisu and apple crostata. A big shout out to the owner Billy for going above and beyond and handling a delicate situation. I know I will be back for some yummy italian food .“
“We were seated at a booth in the bar area. It was comfortable but the noise level was a bit elevated. Would have preferred being seated in the dining room. Our server was attentive and courteous. Both of our cocktails were incorrect, but the bar order was rectified. Food was tasty and ample. The cioppino was way too spicy (hot). Chef went overboard on the red pepper flakes. Overall, a pleasant dining experience and we would recommend Devon to others.“
“Our first time here, it was last minute and we chose it based on a picture someone posted of a soup. We were pleasantly surprised to come in on a Sunday afternoon and we were provided with a table in one of their private rooms. We chose several options and when we tasted the soup, it was soo delicious. Everything was great. Can't wait to go back. We even got additional stuff to go.Kid-friendliness: The kids were offered a kiddie cocktail and they got a kick out of it.“
“We went to this restaurant for a family event. There were nine in our party and because of our party's size, we were seated in the building next to the restaurant. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the food was beyond delicious! We had heard good things and everything we heard was true. If you are looking for good Italian food, this is the place to go.“

“Sergio was AMAZING! Excellent food , excellent drinks, excellent environment! I got the honey margarita and my friend got the white sangria , both EXACTLY what we wanted. So refreshing! Sergio's recommendations were right on! The Scorpio Burger and Grilled Chicken sandwich blew us away! Can't wait to come back!“
“This place is the place to be if you're eating with a big group. Tapas are always such a great way to bond with others and share delicious food -- essentially sharing everything and tasting all sorts of flavors.Lisa was a fantastic server and I would recommend her over and over again.Emilio's Tapas Bar is A MUST GO.“
“I was pleasantly surprised by everything; service, food & cost. Will definitely be going back for more. Had skirt steak & eggs with pancakes instead of toast. The cut of skirt steak was proper length, width & thickness. No weird thin cuts here. Also, the pancakes are amazing. The waitress was so friendly & attentive that she is the gold standard & one of the best I've had anywhere, my entire life. Nothing over the top of phoney, just a darn excellent person.“
“We had a fantastic dinner here! I had never been to Ditka’s before and it did not disappoint. The service was very friendly and the drinks/food were phenomenal. The new burrata appetizer has a burst of different flavors we marveled at and our main courses came out piping hot and incredibly delicious. We agreed this was the best meal we’ve had out in a long time. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back!!“

“First timer here and I will be back. Great service— perhaps due to time of day and it not being busy— but the servers were constantly asking/making sure I had enough side dishes and/or if I needed anything else.My meal came with refillable tea which was very nice. I got the bulgogi bento box and it was really delicious and worth the money for everything I got on my plate. I would love to try some of their other staple dishes as well.The vibe of the place was nice; they had k-pop music playing and a very clean aesthetic. I’ll def add this restaurant to my rotating list of staple places to eat at.“
“I enjoy this restaurant. They have a great bar and make a wonderful old fashioned. Their oysters Rockefeller are out of this world. Best I have ever had and I’ve been to Antoine’s. Crispy chicken wasn’t. It was in a sauce and wasn’t special. Cheesecake Factory has better elote, and Jimmys hotdogs on Grand has better fries. We have had the steaks in the past and they are very good. Yesterday was like eating at a McDonalds playland. The couple seated after me saw where the host was going and said no, they wanted the remote room. I’ll remember that. You can at least have the adults in a quieter area. The service wasn’t great. It took 15 minutes for the waitress to come and get the drink order. Not exaggerating. A group who came after us were served dinner before we got our appetizers. The host came over often but it seemed kind of odd. They couldn’t figure out how to give us separate checks. But I’ll go back and have oysters as an entree or a steak.“
“I had just left a review somewhere else about how I've never had a restaurant that served both ramen and sushi where the ramen was actually decent, but there's a first time for everything, right?The restaurant itself is quaint, but comfortable and has a nice ambience. I sat right in front of the sushi making area so I had a nice little show while I ate. The server was nice and took my order quickly and checked in on me enough.I had ordered both a miso ramen and a couple pieces of tamago nigiri. Funny enough, while my usual complaint is the ramen at a sushi restaurant, today it's more of a small complaint about the sushi! The sushi itself didn't taste bad at all. It was well-made, in fact. My only "complaint" was that the tamago was still very cold from the fridge, but still really tasty. It didn't affect my overall experience.The ramen was great and the presentation was really nice. I'm really fond of miso ramen in general and they made it really well here.Noodles: The noodles are thinner, springy, and chewy. They were pleasant to eat and tasted amazing. They had a nice neutral taste that went well with the broth.Broth: The broth was rich and savory and had a good miso flavor. It was served perfectly hot.Toppings: The pork tasted like it was marinated well and was nicely braised. The egg wasn't marinated in anything and was a plain soft boiled egg. The bamboo shoots also tasted good on their own. I also enjoyed the corn last in the broth. Everything worked well both separately and together.Overall, I was very pleased with Lili Sushi & Ramen! I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy the other bowls of ramen offered here!Vegetarian options: They have vegetable ramen“
“If you haven’t checked this place out yet you absolutely said I went in for dinner with my family, but stopped at the bar first Kim and Brian were amazing and so much fun. I loved their energy George was our server he super friendly we had a lot of laughs! Thank you! Be back “
“We do steaks and king crab legs every Xmas Eve. We checked a number of places for king crab legs. Many didn't have them, OR had the crab clusters. Not the same thing. Supreme Lobster had them, and much more. We'll be going back thru the New Year for fresh seafood!“
“I would definitely recommend if you are looking to try something new that is healthy and tasty. Their menu items and drink options are unique and I loved the smell of toasted coconut while enjoying my meal. Make sure to get one of the dole soft serves!“
“This is the BEST Poke Bros in the area! The staff are friendly and they offer a punchcard for frequent eaters. We love customizing our salmon & tuna poke bowls with cucumber, edamame, ginger, jalapeno, pineapple and so much more. Avocado, mango, and seaweed salad are $1 extra. Get the mochi (3 for $5.50), you have 13 flavors to pick from, including espresso, toasted coconut, passion fruit, cake batter, and purple ube!“
“I went there today and I had to write a review. I found them on Google and live in a near by neighborhood. The food is delicious!!!! The restaurant was very clean and hand sanitizers were everywhere. The customer service was great!! I’m so glad I found them and don’t have to travel the city for jerk. Keep doing a great job!!!“
“Had the porkchops, it was enough for three people and was incredibly good. The restaurant is a well oiled machine, just getting people in, fed, and out the door. Everything was fine, no complaints. Just not relaxed and quaint for my taste but this is what you should expect from a good steakhouse in the center of a popular higher end shopping center.We went on a Saturday night and Parking was a nightmare.“
“The food & service were great! Kelly was an excellent server and so patient with my autistic little brother. We enjoyed our burgers & the wings were great.Only con is that the women’s bathroom smelled horrible. It appeared to be clean, but the smell was really bad. Perhaps some bleach or re-tiling would do the trick.Overall, great experience. I just wouldn’t use the bathroom there.“
“I'd like to state that while the food was delicious for the price and atmosphere I unfortunely became very underwhelmed. This was my first time dining at Fogo and thought that Oak brook would be an excellent location. To my disappointment the experience was not to my expectations. Staff was friendly and food was fresh. However, at times staff forgot to bring me a plate after having taken it. I had food spilled on me twice which left my arm sticky. I understand accidents happen but thankfully I didn't bring a light shirt or else that would've been ruined. While walking around the salad bar I slipped. Floors were very slipper. Did not seem clean or safe. I Came for the food but also was expecting a more nicer ambiance.I hate being so critical. This experience could've been great but the setting wasn't for me. Staff is great and maybe just the nerves got the best of them. I'll give it that.Here my recommendation. Tables should be spread apart just a tad bit. They were so close I felt suffocated. Woman also bring bags and I had nowhere to set my bag down.I will come back however the fancy experience I thought I would have did not happen. To me Fogo is unfortunely one of those places where you come to just stuff your face. If you expect to have a fancy experience lower those expectations.pros: come hungry, leave satisfieddrinks were greatthey provide fresh cutscons: setting is not the besttables are too closefloors are stickyit is messynot fancy/ more chain restaurant vibesIn all I do recommend.“
“The food at Saban's can't be beat. We had the pork chops. They were cooked to perfection, delicious, beautiful presentation, plentiful amounts enough for another meal. The service was great. And the prices are like going back in time. I seriously don't know why anyone would want to eat any place else.“
“Wow what a Jem! As soon as I walked in everyone was so friendly and the place was inviting. Jessica was our server and she was Fantastic! The food was Delicious! I have gone to every restaurant in Oakbrook but you guys are definitely the BEST! We will be back as we are foodies!“
“Great shrimp boil! I got the garlic butter medium heat and it was perfect. First time I went I got the hottest one and it was really spicy. (I love a lot of spicy) the medium was perfect. Also added noodles(linguine) and hard boiled eggs. Delicious!“
“Discovered this place recently and wanted to give it a try. We picked 3 of their signature bowls for a pick up. It was not busy and the order was ready waiting for us. The place was clean and the lady working there was friendly. The portion is good, food was fresh and overall had a good experience with our first order. However, for a to-order I thought the sauce could be placed on the side for people to control how much to mix in.“
“If I can give it a 20 star I would, the food, the service and the atmosphere was amazing and Spectacular! I will definitely come back here again! We got the lamb chops and one item specials which was the Ribeye with mashed potatoes and god it was definitely delicious I wish I didn’t get so full so fast. We got calamari as an app and that was very good and tasty as well. For desert we finished off with homemade tiramisu and the chef treated us with some homemade cannoli. I was truly amazed with the service we got, definitely worth all the money. This place is very nice and everyone is friendly and amazing makes you want to go back!“
“I ordered on May 29th, and indicated that I have Celiac disease (gluten intolerance). I mistakenly ordered a portion of my bowl that included gluten ingredients. They attempted to call me twice (I missed it) to let me know. Even though I did not answer, they delivered the food with the gluten containing ingredient separate with a note to be careful. I am so impressed, and it is so hard to find safe places to eat as a Celiac. The extra care and time to make sure my food was safe really impressed me... not to mention the food was fresh and so delicious! I applaud the staff for their attention to detail and care, and am making Poke Bros a staple take out.“
“Food was really good! The pulled pork sandwich was excellent! The burgers were delicious! The kids meals were good! I'm only keeping it at a 4/5 stars because we waited for almost an hour for our food. The waitress was great and everything about it was great! I would definitely recommend and go here again, just don't be in a hurry.“
“A great place to try craft beers, warm atmosphere with live jazz, there are beer yoga classes on Sundays from 10 to 11 am 20usd per class with a pint of beer, I also highly recommend pinball tournaments.A great place to try craft beers, warm atmosphere with live jazz, there are beer yoga classes on Sundays from 10 to 11 am 20usd a class with a pint of beer, also pinball tournaments.

“We went tonight for dinner and were shocked!As regular customers we were surprised by the UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT sign. We were also told NO ALCOHOL.Jose you and your family will be missed. We are saddened that we were unable to say ..you will be missed and your in our thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you again soon!Mike & Louise , your friends at the bar!“
“Shwings Catering was phenomenal. We used shwings to cater for my son’s 1st birthday. Aside from the famous shrimp we ordered, sausage and pepper, salads, pasta , and chicken fingers. Everything was delicious, of course the shrimp was a HUGE hit! M was so sweet in helping us get a good menu and $$/pp. I’m the type of person to over order and hate when we have so many left overs , so it was helpful to have someone else’s input. If you are interested in getting catering do not hesitate to reach out, the team is so helpful.“
“Title: A Flavorful Journey through Filipino Delights: A 10/10 ExperienceNestled within a welcoming atmosphere exuding family-friendly vibes, Val’s Kitchen Plus serves as a gateway to the heart of Filipino cuisine. During my recent visit, I was enchanted not only by the scrumptious dishes but also by the warm hospitality that defined the experience.The ambiance struck a perfect balance between cleanliness and an inviting aura, making it an ideal spot for a delightful dining escapade. It emitted the essence of a genuine family-oriented restaurant, welcoming patrons with open arms.However, what truly stood out was the impeccable service. The staff at Val’s Kitchen Plus were paragons of hospitality, displaying a genuine eagerness to ensure a memorable dining venture. Their attentiveness and friendliness added an extra layer of comfort to the entire experience, making it feel like dining among friends.Now, onto the stars of the show—the dishes. The palabok, with its vibrant medley of flavors, offered a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that tantalized the palate. Each bite of the meticulously prepared noodles coated in a rich, savory sauce, adorned with an array of toppings, left an indelible mark on my taste buds.The lumpia, a quintessential Filipino favorite, showcased culinary finesse at its best. Crispy on the outside and bursting with savory goodness within, it was a true testament to the artistry of Filipino cuisine.Among the desserts that crowned this remarkable culinary journey, the bibingka emerged as a standout. Its coconut-infused layers of rice cake, boasting a sweet, creamy texture, were a delectable revelation—a perfect marriage of tradition and flavor that left a lasting impression.In conclusion, my time at Val’s Kitchen Plus was nothing short of exceptional. From the savory delights of palabok and lumpia to the sweet finale with the mesmerizing bibingka, each dish resonated with authenticity and skillful preparation. Coupled with the inviting ambiance and the exceptional service, my overall experience surpassed expectations, earning it a resounding 10/10 rating.“
“The best “fish fry” that we’ve experienced thus far in downtown Elmhurst or possibly all of Chicago!!! Why do you ask? The owner / management team (Dominic Ranieri & Nicolette Ranieri) aims to please by offering the true and proper “haddock and chips”! The batter is perfectly proportionate to the size of the fillet and not greasy. Then comes one of the best old fashions we’ve had. Why? Their amazing bartender, Evey, knows exactly how we prefer them and she never disappoints. Last, but certainly not least, the service is always impeccable from our most favorite waitress, @Alisandra Mondrella! She’s prompt, professional, and always with a smile! Thank you again for the first class experience!!!“
“Loads of options on an attractive menu. Restaurant has a fun vibe with great tiles and flowers hanging from the bar. We went with another couple and ordered drinks that were all well done – we love the chips and homemade roasted tomato salsa that they brought to our table. We then shared the guacamole which was a generous serving and very fresh, I had ceviche with shrimp that was a generous mound served with avocados on top and it was delicious. The service – although they were trying really hard – was slow and very spotty. We ordered drinks and only three of the drinks came and about 10 minutes later the fourth drink came. All our meals came together except for my husbands which came about 15 minutes later, which didn’t make for a smooth me out together. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh, and I would definitely go back. For a family place, the music was blaring and unnecessary, there are a few areas that they could improve on but the reason we went was the food and it was fantastic.Parking: Loads of parking around the building at st the strip shopping center.“
“I love this place!!! I have followed this place around everywhere they moved. The place is small more like a takeout, not fancy at all. But there’s some sitting available for you to eat if desired. Nick, is always friendly and knows his stuff. The breading in the food adds to the wonderful taste of the food! I always get the large bag of shrimp with mild-sauce, to me taste and flavor is everything! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.Parking: Parking is right outside the establishment.“
“Kid-friendliness: Several quotes from the kids this experience. When are we coming back here again? This was in the top 3 or 4 places we’ve been! I wonder if there is a job that’s just a crab leg cracker? So, we all loved it. Popped in for an anniversary outing on a Lent Friday. Highly recommend the Coconit, Ubi, and Mango frozen dessert. Nothing we would have ordered but they comped it for our anniversary and it was the perfect ending to a delicious crab dinner (and everyone’s breath is better for it). We will be back soon!“
“I had a Great Experience as soon as I entered the door and was greeted my Miss Christina (Carryout). She greeted me with a smile, and assisted me with my order. I just had to let the manager Miss Tammi know how Miss Christina made me feel after a long day of work. I said at the bar and Rob was awesome. He made me the best drink ever “June Bug”. And the food was delicious“
“Make a reservation and your table will be there when you get there. While a bit pricey, the food is excellent. We had Crab cakes as appetizer and I had the Braised Short Rib special. The meat flaked apart as I put a fork into it. The veggies and mashed potatoes were also excellent.“
“I had the KBBQ at Four Seasons cafe and I cannot express how amazing it was. Everything from the food to the environment was fantastic. An important point to mention is that the menu is not All you can eat, although the staff will allow you to make substitutions when necessary. We chose from options of chicken, beef, and seafood and cooked them to our desire. The meat was seasoned well and tasted amazing, and the experience of cooking it ourselves as a group was an experience I cannot wait to try again. Lastly, the drinks were easily some of the best I’ve ever had, especially the piña colada that was served in a pineapple. If you go to four seasons just for the drinks, you’d be getting your money’s worth. Can’t wait to also try the steaks and lamb chops!Dietary restrictions: Zabiha Halal“
“OMG best little place in carol steam, I'm here Sunday night no one is here and I am wondering why, I had a drink called sunshine, it's pineapple, orange, strawberry juices is delicious. I had crab legs, corn, potato, eggs, salad came with meal, the dressing on salad was very different but soft and delicate, the crab was very clean, sweet and plenty. ordered the cajin house, mild still had a kick of spice but perfect.If I could give this place a 10 star it would get an 11. Fabulous delightful very quiet, server's was not a pest, but cleaned up right away. I still don't know why it's not packed. This is a must go to if your in carol stream IllinoisParking: Plenty of pull in spotsKid-friendliness: Tv, kids menue“
“The food was super 10 out of 10, the drinks were really lacking, but the food was super good, the cleanliness was very clean, the service was super friendly, very good service, they have Mexican music and if you're lucky, there's a guy who sings and plays his guitar which he does very well and his voice is very pleasant, the restaurant is highly recommendedParking: Plenty of parking and clean with lightWheelchair accessibility: Has access for the disabled“
“Cedar plank salmon was delicious as was the whitefish and the wagyu steak. The crab cake is the best. Sarah our server Debby th manager and Jennifer the hostess were all so gracious. I left my credit card with the bill and they called me immediately. I turned around and went back and picked it up. Thank you!“
“I want to give an excellent review of the restaurant. The sushi menu is on another level. I have eaten at different sushi restaurants, even with native Asian owners, and I think this restaurant exceeds all my expectations. Every time I go, I try a new dish, and I am satisfied with my choice. The service is unique, and the atmosphere is calm, relaxed, and welcoming. a 10/10.“
“Very clean and friendly service. Food is quality and presented nicely. Worth the price to pick off the menu or build your own bowl. Lots of choices, can't wait until my next trip.Parking: The lot is not part of the larger strip mall, it has its own smaller lot for the smaller strip mall it's part of“
“This is real home cooked Chinese food! Very simple old school stall in a food court but don’t let the surroundings fool you. This place is worth the 45 min drive for me. Best Chinese food in Chicago imo. LOVE the scallion pancakes. Everything tastes “
