"My daughter and I planned to pick up Thai food and have a lunch picnic outside in the gorgeous weather, but discovered that our favorite Thai place didn't open until 5:00. We were in north Evanston after errands and decided to try Bonsai Cafe.Online ordering was easy and our order was ready when we arrived. The lady was very nice. I had the Chinese Chicken salad with a side of shrimp and my daughter got the Bonsai Bento Box which came with miso soup, she chose the chicken teriyaki entree which came with rice, a California roll and three pieces of sushi. We both felt that our meals were a bit lacking in flavor (my salad had few ingredients and was boring) and her teriyaki was bland, but everything was good. The sushi was fresh and she liked the soup. We also had their homemade ginger ale which was also fresh and refreshing. They smartly package the carry out drinks in cardboard carriers. Prices were very reasonable and we agreed that we will try other dishes next time."

"Great place - always a band - staff is friendly atmosphere is great - weekdays even have live bands"

"Been wanting to try this place out for a while now. Finally made it in. Service is great. They work quick and efficient. They're also very friendly. Price is very reasonable and the food will fill you up. I ordered a polish and a pork chop sandwich. The pork chop sandwich was very tasty. The pork chop was very tender and flavorful. I wasn't a big fan of their polish dog. It had no snap and tasty a little mushy. I'm glad I finally gave this place a try. I certainly won't be going out of my way to come here, but if I'm ever an the area, I might be down grab me some pork chop sandwiches."

"Ordered from here for a family gathering, the bindi, palak ghost, chicken boti, rice, everything amazing. The service is friendly and quick and though they are quick, they have mastered their recipes because it was amazing. The ambiance is not what you come here for because good food is greater than ambiance.If you live in the burbs, go here, enjoy your meal and get a kulfi as dessert."

"If you search enough you will find heaven. On the corner of Clark and Balmoral you will find a slice of it - in the form of a cake.This small jewel of a place has been here a long time and has changed little. This is a testament to what good small cafes know - familiarity, service and good food.The interior is a bricolage of mismatched lamps and other Americana against well worn brick walls. You can take excellent bakery items and drinks to go, or sit down and get ready for well prepared appetizers, soups, salads or main dishes that your mom or aunt used to make.We ordered the curried chicken wrap and a big slice of cake. All was good and served with a smile. The disconnect was the price : $38 with two coffees. But hey, welcome to eating out.Come on over and enjoy the real thing."

"Such an unassuming quaint pub (Enoteco) serving up the most authentic Italian food I've ever had.We arrived late and was still greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The waiter was super attentive and answered our many questions since most items were written in Italian. The mixed seafood and linguine arrived piping hot. The short ribs and pasta was tender and cooked to perfection. Our branzino in lemon butter and capers was to die for. We sat around dipping our bread in the dressing it was so good. We ended the evening with the best tiramisu cake ever. This place is top shelf! Maybe next time we will actually eat in their restaurant (trattoria) across the street."

"This place is only a few blocks away from our house. It's not a big one and it seems to be carry-out only. But they keep it clean and tidy as possible as they can. I feel so lucky that we've come crossed this hidden gem!The lady who usually takes our orders is friendly and unbelievably efficient. For our two persons' dinner order, it only takes chef to complete cooking in 15 mins and 2-3 mins top for her to pack it all ready. No matter weekday evenings or weekend rush hours, the average waiting time has never been longer than 20 mins. I highly recommend their Mongolian beef and hot and sour soup! We can't wait to try other dishes from this store."

"It's not the best pizza you'll ever have, but it is solid and you get a good product for a very reasonable price. I do recommend this pizzeria."

"I've been wanting to try the pizzas here, and coming for brunch was a great opportunity to do so while taking advantage of bottomless mimosas (OJ on the side!). It's a great casual spot for day drinking, with plenty of TVs to watch sports as well. Though service at first was pretty slow, the champagne bottles were refilled pretty frequently which was nice. I loved the option to split any size pizza in two different flavors, so we did just that. I shared the small pizza - half buffalo bill and half popeye. The popeye was delicious, but the buffalo bill was a little too salty for my taste. We also shared the chopped salad, and this wasn't so great either. I do think this place has great potential and was fun for a casual group outing - I just needed to try different menu items I'm sure."

"They have very...Reasonable prices and taste great!!! Fast Delivery too! Will order again!"

"Overall, a decent spot to grab boba near Millenium Park! They have a big variety on the menu, and it seems their dalgona drinks or volcano milk tea are most popular.I got the Rose Green Tea this visit, which was VERY STRONG tea. Refreshing and lightlt had the aftertaste of rose. Not bad! I also tried the Coconut Double Pudding, which was okay. The flavor was good, but the texture was too goopy for me. I wish it was a little more firm or jello-like."

"I had read this pizzeria served pizza by the slice and like to check out new pizza places while in Chicago. It is a very unassuming small restaurant with only a few tables. Most patrons were ordering slices to-go as it was quite busy when I stopped by late Saturday afternoon. They offer thin crust, thick crust, and stuffed crust (the traditional "Chicago" pizza with the sauce on the top). Prices vary from $5-7 a slice. They did not offer a large variety of pies (cheese, pepperoni, sausage, and a specialty 'za), but sometimes sticking to the basics is best. It made for quick service despite the long line.I order a pepperoni deep dish and my husband had sausage thin crust. Our total was just over $10. The size of the slices were very generous. My deep dish was AMAZING! Chewy, flavorful crust, lots of cheese and pepperoni, A+ sauce. I was stuffed after my piece. My husband thought his thin crust was one of the best he has ever had. If only there were not so many amazing restaurants in Chicago, we would have definitely stopped by to try the stuffed crust before leaving the city. It is on my "to-do" list for next time. Recommend if you are in the area, especially if you are on a budget and in a hurry."

"Read about StopAlong having one of the top burgers in Chicago and knew I had to stop by - it was delicious! Meat cooked perfectly, all the fixings paired well, too. Fries were a little overdone for my preference, but burger was definitely the star of the show.Atmosphere is really cute - had a true diner/local joint feel."

"We dined at Bar Parisette tonight. Service was excellent. The round leather booths are elegant and comfortable. Ask for one when you make your reservation. Chef Madalyn Durrant ran food to tables, which was nice because it provided the opportunity to compliment her on our favorite dishes. We ordered everything on the menu, except the chicken liver, the tartare, the lamb, and the burger. While everything was good and competently executed, the best items, which are truly exceptional, are:1) Carrot Salad (honey, coriander, honey, Moroccan olive)2) Sunchokes and wax bean salad with pollen 3) Halibut en Papillote with root vegetables 4) Roasted Chicken with carrot caramel 5) Soft Serve Ice Cream (salted vanilla/blueberry lavender twist) I liked the spaciousness of the restaurant, and there are some beautiful and fun design elements, like whimsical wallpaper, sparkly gold epoxy floors in the washroom, beautiful light fixtures, and those beautiful round leather booths. Many of the wines are a bargain, including $8 glasses that were uncommon and memorable. Matt Sussman made our evening extra special by sharing his wine knowledge. 2829 W Armitage Ave, Chicago"

"Pad Thai here is a must! I have had beef and chicken pad Thai for delivery and take out and it has been great both times. Most recently I had the lunch special which came with an egg roll, edamame, crab Rangoon, or fried tofu. I opted for the egg roll. It also came with a small salad and miso soup. While everything tasted great, I would've preferred a larger pad Thai serving without the miso soup and salad. Regardless, I will be back."

"Loved their bowls during their pop ups in PT! Friendly service. Overall excellent!! Got a chance to try a bit of everything and they were amazing Korean food!"

"Totally unassuming. Totally delicious.Order a shawarma pizza, and thank me later. Also make sure to get the spicy hummus. It's worth the extra 50 cents. The pita was really toasty hot and soft and the hummus was really something. This place is in a strip mall but don't let that put you off. They are putting out some really banging food. The staff all seemed really nice. And it's neat that you get to see right into the pizza oven. I don't have much more to say about this place other than I would order from here weekly if I could."

"Stopped in after coming from a museum as we in the mood for some tacos. We were seated pretty quickly upon walking in and the server explained how to order food. Im not a fan of QR style ordering but our food came out super quick and was still hot. I got the Taco Bundle with the crispy fish and shrimp tacos with a side of rice and beans. Also I ordered a mango margarita to drink. Everything was really good and I really enjoyed my meal! This restaurant has all the right vibes and seems like a good spot for a big group. Would love to come back!"

"Pork ramen had a great broth but was really lacking other ingredients in the bowl, such as seaweed, sprouts also what was up with that odd hard poached egg with no runny yolk."

"Food is fabulous!! Great menu and they offer curbside drop-off. Very extensive menu with awesome milkshakes!"

"Ambience - cute, unique decor, intimate w upbeat music (at the right volume!) Food - great! I appreciate a breakfast that I can't make myself at home. I recommend Carnitas skillet, horchata latte, avocado toast, fruit plate is not your lazy fruit plate - fresh w variety. My kid loves the coconut chicken and waffles Service - very friendly. Depending how crowded you might wait a little for your food but it comes out hot.Right off the western blue line."

"This place is near me & I passed by it a million times. Since I'm off 2day I decided 2 stop by. Great decision! Whoever owns it spent sum serious $$$ decorating it. It is contemporary, stylish yet still authentic. It was clean. The friendly order taker took my order and about 5 minutes later gave me & my friend complimentary soup which was delish. Order took about 10-12 minutes. It was fresh and on point. The ingredients were on point & a good amount for leftovers. The horchata was more like a smoothie, very flavorful. They do charge $.50 per debit/credit card transaction. They have a parking lot across the street plus street parking. A full bar there too. I will be back guys for food & sum drinking too."

"Excellent neighborhood spot for solid Thai staples. I've only ordered takeout but I plan to dine in soon, so I really can't speak to the ambience at this point.The food is so flavorful and good. It's more flavorful and fresh than some other local spots, making this a quick new favorite for me.We ordered a couple of noodle dishes and the wings, and were really happy with everything we ordered. Spicy, sweet, savory, and cooked to perfection."

"Batter done right - fried okra was amazing! My friend devoured his wings as well. My vegetarian burrito was delicious and filling. She was able to swap out a few things for me as well. So friendly! I ended up ordering a steak to go. Everything from sauces to side dishes are done with care.Prices are great and the service was exceptional. I see lots of people ordering take out since they are on uber eats and a few more delivery apps. Can't wait to come back and try their breakfast offerings!"

"Indian food at its best. Met the owner for the first time. Talked about her passion and love for cooking food. We loved their goat curry and chicken leg piece was nice and tender. I have went there multiple times already since couple of months, love their place. People bring positive vibes and ambiance is cozy. Would love for them to cater food for us some day!"

"There are a number of "neighborhood" sushi and Thai places in Chicago, but not all of them are that good. Some are just a "Jack of all trades, but a master at none". Worth just ok food. Kin Sushi & Thai Cuisine is one of the good ones. First, I like that they have a large menu and large number of dishes. On the night I went, I did not try their Thai food, but I'm looking forward to going back to try it. Second, their food is very good. I ordered the takoyaki as an appetizer, the tonkatsu ramen, miso soup, Black Peal roll, and Kin Sushi Combo. I especially liked their sushi. The Black Pearl roll to was very good and I would highly recommend it. Next, the sushi combo was great. I am lover of tuna sushi and I judge all sushi places on how they do tuna nagiri. The tuna is here is great and you should order it. Third, for a city restaurant parking is great. While they do not have a parking lot, street parking is very plentiful. I went on weekday night at around 6:00 pm and I have no issue getting a free parking spot. In fact, I park right a across the street on Milwaukee avenue. If you are looking for a sushi or ramen spot in the Noble Squire or should Bucktown area I would highly recommend Kin Sushi and Thai i Cuisine."

"A perfect stop on our way to Wrigley Field! Another delicious Diner's, Drive In's & Dives spot for amazing food, leaving full and happy!We loved the Slayer, served over fires and the Iron Maiden! The Mastodon wasn't my favorite, but still good!Definitely will come back and try a few more burgers! In addition, they have a great selection of beer!"

"Food was BOMB DIDDY! Tender rib tips with flavorful mouthfuls! Service was awesome! Was ready in 10mins for pickup! And ambiance was there. Cozy and friendly place with great customer service! Check 'em out!"

"We've come here several times over the years, always sitting in the stylish and comfortable bar. The service and food are consistently excellent. On this visit we started with cocktails, which are always perfectly made. The bread and giardiniera go well with anything! We also ordered a bottle of Cabernet for dinner. The very cool, yet unassuming host, Scotty makes sure that everyone is well attended to. He has the respect of his staff as well as the patrons, who primarily consist of happy regulars. All staff members are professional and helpful. My husband started with a very good Clam Chowder. I chose the salad special of greens, dried cherries, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese and vinaigrette dressing. I would be happy having that salad every day!I was glad to have a choice of two sizes of the Filet entrée and picked the 4 oz size. I still had leftovers! The filet, mashed potatoes and green beans almandine were all excellent!The ribs here are always a favorite and one of us usually has to order them, sometimes for takeout - from the Vernon Hills location which is closer to home. We wish we lived closer!"

"My cousin lives right down the street from Agustano's Pizza. One time I was over to her house and she ordered wings from here. They were so delicious. There wings are cooked perfectly and taste so good. I haven't had their pizza it looks dry to me. Like I mentioned the bar bq and buffalo wings are the bomb. Nice friendly staff. FYI it is hard finding a parking space in this lot. There is a liquor store and other businesses that are inside this mini lot. So, you might have to drive around a few times to see if anyone will pull out of a parking space. Prices are decent."

"I've been returning here to three times a month.The owner is a very friendly woman and she encourages us to create our own role with ingredients that we have come to love.The hibachi wonder appetizer is fantastic as well as the spicy tuna rolls.They can make pretty much anything on the menu Without rice so no carb friends can enjoy themselves there as well.The staff and Sushi chefs are treated with respect and offer. Incredible service. I'll be there on Sunday."

"I haven't had food here, but this spot is great for day drinking and taking in the city views. Though the section where most of the tables are have blocked views because of the covered fencing. Also be warned that you will have to go through a line of metal detection and bag checks prior to entering the establishment. Once there, however, there's plenty of games (in exchange for your id), drinks, and music. If you're lucky, a shot girl will shoot a squirt of liquor into your mouth from a water gun!My particular drink on this day was the 'mi casa' off the menu- didn't realize that this was a) $20 and b) blue. $20 is pretty ridiculous for old town prices, and no where in the description does the drink hint at having blue curacao or anything that make the drink blue.Otherwise a fun time and really big mix of crowds!"

"Came here Saturday night to kick off a girlfriend's bday celebration......WE NEVER LEFT! lol We were treated like royalty. We were seated at a table close to the entertainment. There was a live band playing and though quite different, we really enjoyed it. There was a belly dancing show too. We ordered our food and I can just say OMG, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! We had such a great time, we decided not to go anywhere else....we had hookah, drinks, great food and entertainment. Definitely will be back."
