Ben's Noodles and Rice

Our last meal before leaving Chicago and it was delicious. We needed to get it to go as time was limited and we needed to hurry it up. We ordered online and picked up our food 1/2 hour later. I ordered the spicy beef and vegetables and it was delicious. My wife ordered the shrimp fried rice and my daughter the vegetable fried rice and we all came away satisfied. The portions are large and very tasty. You can't tell by the awning outside the restaurant, but first class food.

We just moved to the neighborhood and wanted to try out Ben's on a night when we just didn't have the energy to cook. We ordered the veggie potstickers, spring rolls, cucumber salad, pad see ew, and green curry. We did takeout and it was ready quickly. In general, the food was fine, nothing spectacular. I enjoyed the potstickers and cucumber salad most, but the pad see ew didn't do much for me. The spring rolls weren't what I was expecting--they weren't fried and were loosely wrapped in rice paper, so my partner ended up eating them. He enjoyed his curry but the ratio of curry to rice was very off with way more rice than curry to the point it seemed laughable. We will probably hit them up again in the future, particularly for their lunch deal, but I don't think we've found our new Thai go-to yet.

Ben's Noodles And Rice has... you guessed it. If these grains are good with you, this place will be worth popping in and getting some good stuff. Just don't expect to stay for long, because most customers get takeout. Even so, there's a few tables inside if you're going to eat here. They have a good selection of Chinese and Thai with okay prices. Each time has been good. I've never eaten in here. The last time was as before, as takeout. It's a small place but it has a big menu. There's plenty of choices for many tastes, including plenty for both carnivores and vegetarians. Big portions at lunch. Last time I got the Pad Thai. It's $11 at lunch. This has bean sprouts, eggs, which I left off, green onions, peanuts, and thin rice noodles. It also comes with a protein choice. There's beef, chicken, and tofu. Basic but good. There's a lot for the lunch portion it seems. Has a big menu for a small cafe. It's a good place for takeout. They're closed Wednesdays.

I'm a relatively regular customer of this clean, inexpensive, high value , and delicious small restaurant. One thing that stands out is their vegetable quality. Never over-cooked with a lot of variety. Bonus: they're customer service is stellar, always polite, fast, and friendly. It's a hidden gem with a loyal following. The only improvement would be to use firm tofu, not fried. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Everything was delicious... even better my second time here! Fresh veggies and very flavorful! Service was wonderful and very attentive. This is my second time dining in and it's a cute little spot to catch up with friends or for a date night Thank you Ben's Noodle and Rice for a tasty lunch!

I was passing by this place and saw a couple eating at a table near the window. So I went in. I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and asked for it spicy. It was delicious! I can't wait to try some of their other dishes.

Man I could shed a tear thinking about this spot... the green curry was always so good but my go to dish quickly became Lad Nar, extra broccoli with no protein. Also, the owners were always so wonderful and made each visit enjoyable. I loved eating here weekly and I can easily say that it's one of the most memorable spots in my old neighborhood. If you get a chance to come thru, I imagine you won't be disappointed.

The wife and I have been ordering from here for years. Must recently, we ordered pad woonsen with tofu and chicken teriyaki. We also ordered the shrimp and vegetable egg rolls. All the food was good. Generally, I have enjoyed the vegetable and chicken dishes (have not tried beef entrees, but not the seafood. Other entrees we have tried include basil noodles, spicy entree and pad Thai. We usually enjoy our food and will keep ordering from here.

I ordered the Pad Thai for dinner via online takeout. I was very pleased with how speedy the service was -- it was ready by the time I walked there. Friendly staff as well. The Pad Thai ended ended up being delicious and extremely filling, especially for the price. Highly recommend to anyone frequenting the area.

I ordered the lunch special @$16 including tax...the Ginger Chicken was delicious, eggs rolls fresh fried, & a Coke. the Pea Pods in chicken plate were fresh & crunchy too. carry out..
