Noodles near Wilmette, IL

“My first time ever having authentic Thai Food!

It was amazing! Not perfect, but cLose!

I had the Drunken NoodLes Spicy 10 with Tofu!

It was actually spicy. Needs just a little something idk. Maybe cardamom.

My picture doesn’t do it justice. And I can’t even finish. It’s so freakin yummy!

I rate it 9.3/10“

“Akai Hana has been in business for over 30 years, and the steady traffic means the sushi is fresh and safe, offered at a good price. However, the ambiance is lacking, with an outdated, cafeteria-like vibe and cheap-looking menus. It’s a solid spot for a quick, no-frills sushi meal, but not the place for a special dining experience.“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“[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.“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Noodles and Co is fire. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Manager Marc is very nice. They cook the food fresh and ready to eat and they maintain the restaurant clean. Amazing noodles. They put a smile on customers faces. 10/10“

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

“Great team! They always exceeded expectations!“

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

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

“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. �“

“We enjoyed Beyond Thai restaurant. The owner helps on the dining room. The food is prepr bcdf ared fresh. We had crispy egg rolls, tom yum soup, delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers, and salmon fillet with rice topped with a large mound of fresh Asian style vegetables. We had tasty Emerald noodle dishes and pad see eiew.“

“Great food great service clean space Reasonably priced“

“We had a great experience here! We love Noodles & Company and this location was wonderful. Our food was delicious and our server, Ivan, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. He stopped by our table a couple times and was very kind to check in. We'll be back!“

“nice ppl that work their great fresh food“

“The food here is fantastic“

“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.“

“I wanted to give this location props for their lunch on 8/17. Walking in around 1pm, I could tell they had had their butts handed to them and were obviously understaffed. However, in my perspective they were handling the hangry customers very well, were staying calm and the staff that was present seemed to know what they were doing. The only reason for 4 stars is because and (this has happened more than once at this location) rather than suggesting I try my Pesto Cavatappi with pork, they tell me it comes with pork, which is not true. There is an additional charge for any meat on this bowl.“

“Great Fresh Sushi. A very popular place, so expect a wait. But the staff is quick and attentive. Skilled chefs. One of few Sushi places that do not add extra rice as fillers to make the Maki or Sushi seem bigger. Bottom line ..... Good Food.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great food and always great service.“

“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!“

“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 ??“

“First time ordering. A very good experience all around. The takoyaki was delicious. Wasn’t sure what to expect but they were soft and flavorful. The eggplant was mixed. Not a fan of the sauce and the texture varied from slice to slice.One soft, others firm and the skin was impossible to cut and chew. The pork belly was okay. Not enough ginger flavor came through and the pieces could be cut smaller. The salads were yummy.“

“We traveled quite a ways to eat here since it is considered by many to be a great old school Chicago restaurant. We went for lunch and it was very quiet inside when we arrived. My kid commented that all the songs that were playing were on her playlist so she was thrilled. She had the sweet and sour chicken and I had the Kung Pao beef. Both were really good and the portions were huge. The meals came with egg drop soup which was excellent and then we also had spring rolls which were very large and really good. Service was very good and the food was reasonably priced. I do wish they still had the old neon sign out front.“

“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!“

“Joy Yee is an absolute gem for Asian cuisine! The menu is extensive, with everything from bubble tea to delicious noodle dishes. I loved the vibrant flavors and generous portions—perfect for sharing. The service was quick, and the food came out fresh and hot. It’s always busy, but worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic, tasty Asian food!“

“Had a delicious meal, great service, and calm atmosphere at YATAI. We are vegetarian leaning and there were plenty of options. It was clear to us that the food was freshly made. (Nothing wilty or overcooked.) Will totally go back when we are looking for Asian influenced cuisine with lots of options.“

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

“I picked up an order, I got home and noticed there was an item missing, and when I called, the manager (owner?) spoke to me and offered to drive it to my home after they closed up shop. I tried to tip the man who delivered it but he refused. He was very kind and thanked me for my business. Arguably the best customer service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant.“
