20 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Mount Prospect

“Got here before 5pm and the place was empty, which was nice. Got seated right away and after reviewing the menu, went with Hokkaido Cha-Shu Ramen and small order of Karrage.Chicken was perfectly fried, only had few pieces and took the rest home because I wanted to enjoy the ramen. Now, I'm not a fan of miso ramen, but their version was better than what I had expected and had in many other joints in the states. I was bit lost with the two potato wedges they threw in there and the cha-shu was bit dried unfortunately.Service was awesome, water got filled w/o me asking and food came out quickly. The place got busy after 5pm and by the time I left, all the tables were occupied. Would recommend you visit before the dinner rush.“

“i used to come here when i was working nearby back in 2019. not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is super friendly. after a few visits i brought a date here and the waiter talked me up to her (in Korean), which i really appreciated haha.i would always go for the dolsot bibimbap. sent friends here years later and they said the bbq was amazing, couldn't stop raving about the place.definitely go to Chungkiwa if you're looking for delicious and authentic Korean food!“

“Our waitress Claudia was so polite. The food was good. Other family recommended this place.“

“Truly a family-owned, family-run and family-centric establishment. We've witnessed them grow since they opened in 1999, and their craft is perfected. Whether you want a quiet date night with some ridiculously delicious pasta and wine; or a coffee and Gelato; or a quick lunch of a sandwich, pizza or arancini and pasta salad... you can't go wrong. They're expert caterers and you won't have to worry about a thing if you're hosting an event of any kind. Love!“

“The food was great. The restaurant was filthy. I took a shower when I got home.“

“Every time I dine in at Izakaya Sankyu, I walk out full and happy! For the longest time, Kitakata was my favorite places for Japanese appetizers and drinks, as well as the occasional "comfort food" entrée, and I was sad when they closed. There still a number of places that filled in the gap, but I feel like Izakaya Sankyu is the one that checks the most boxes. They have lots of great small bites to share with friends like kushiyaki, takoyaki, tempura fried croquettes, fresh & pickled veggies, sautéed butter mushrooms, dumplings (their gyoza was shumai had a fantastic crisp to them), seared / roasted meats (the unagi and beef were great), crispy chicken wings, maki, and they had my personal favorites - chazuke bowls, zosui bowls, and Osaka-style okonomiyaki!Pair these with soju cocktails (the sparkling hard yuzu-ade was awesome), $5 Asahi cans, Sapporo samplers, a huge selection of sake, and several varieties of Japanese and western whisky for a fun time. If it's not time to get crunk, they have teas, sodas, and virgin cocktails. If you're particularly hungry, you can fill up on excellent udon, ramen, soba, and a good variety of dinner entrées. I particularly enjoyed their grilled seafood, their Japanese spin on Korean buchimgae (chijimi?), and their generous chirashi. I've had a few bites of their teriyaki dinners, and they seemed on point as well.I wish I lived closer to Izakaya Sankyu, as their food and service was top notch. If you go by their recommendations or take advantage of their daily specials, you can enjoy a lot of food and drinks for reasonable prices while spending quality time with friends and family. I felt a little bad we took up our table for so long, but the staff seemed to enjoy serving us (and it probably didn't hurt leaving a generous tip afterward). On the flip-side, I suppose if they were TOO close by, I could kiss my diet goodbye; their izakaya fare is almost too inviting and tasty, I'd have trouble eating too much! No joke, I could probably eat three plates of okonomiyaki in a single sitting. :D“

“Amazing food! Service was quick“

“Maybe my second time here. Staff are great and friendly. Overall I enjoyed my food. I do feel the food could be better. We ordered the Nutella crepe and it seemed like a tablespoon of Nutella was used; there was nothing even between the crepes. It also just tasted average. I also got the egg sandwich and it just didn't feel gourmet enough. I would still go back for a quick meal and try other menu items.“

“I placed an order online for pick up on a weekend night for Yum Woonsen, crab rangoons, shrimp tempura, Thai iced tea. Pick up was super quick because my order was ready right at the time I requested. I loved everything I ordered especially the yum woonsen and the crab rangoons. The yum woonsen had so much flavor, chicken, and fresh vegetables. I ordered it with 3** spicy level which was a little too spicy for me but I couldn't stop eating it anyway because it was that good. I also loved the flakiness of the crab rangoons and they had a generous amount of filling.“

“Our food was delicious! We ordered the goat cheese as an app. Our dinner was the Braised short ribs with risotto, And I got the Filet Trio. So yummy!!!“

“Get the honey biscuits ❤️ great service!“

“Love outdoor options in the summer. Even with a crazy weekend of 56 Music Fix everything was on point with food and service. I loved seeing Chris step in and help anywhere and everywhere he needed to.“

“The food is amazing. Great staff too, so friendly & welcoming.“

“All the food we ordered was alll delicious!!“

“I have tried a few things here but my go to is the Dolsot Bibimbap, always great and satisfying. The side dishes are always to my liking, they vary from visit to visit, and that is ok with me. Prices have come up but are reasonable. I am often the only or one of the few customers who does not speak Korean there. It is not a fancy restaurant so prepare your expectations for a more relaxed, casual, almost street food style, dining experience.“

“OMG... I went 5/4/24.... I sang karaoke... I was scared because I usually run into problems being a woman of color .. but I love this place ... OMG .. let me not forget my bartender SAM.....
