Phoday

★★★★★ 4.5 (155) • $$

"I visited Phoday for lunch on a Wednesday and found it to be fairly busy, yet the noise level was low. The space was clean, with pleasant music playing in the background. The service was quick and friendly, making for an enjoyable dining experience.Phoday offers a wide menu, including Halal meat options for pho. I ordered the #6 with beef broth and steak in a small size, which was more than enough for lunch. It was a delicious, hearty bowl of beef pho, and the pricing was reasonable. I would definitely come back."

Ban Po Jung

★★★★☆ 4.1 (300)

"This Korean restaurant is a hidden gem. We ordered soft tofu soup, streaming potstickers, kalbi, bulgogi beef, and spicy marinated blue crabs. These dishes are great. Taste like Korean home cooking food. This is the first time I tried the spicy marinated blue crabs.The husband and wife that serve us were nice. Service is friendly There is plenty of parking space in the front of the restaurant."

Faiza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9)

"This is a brand new restaurant from a genre of food I have never experienced but absolutely worth the trip. Tucked away in a corner of the city you don't go to by chance is a nicely appointed restaurant. Upon entering we were promptly greeted and seated given menus and started looking over the choices. There are no pictures on the menu, the names of the dishes are somewhat familiar. The server gave us a few minutes to go over the menu before coming over and offering to explain the menu to us. She was so kind and patient and answered all of our questions, she made some recommendations that we decided to go with. Fried manti, a delicious fried dumpling with a well seasoned beef and onion filling. Boso lagman, a fried noodle dish with beef, green and red peppers the noodles were very good and tasted house made, they were served in a light tomato sauce and I would absolutely order again. The Plov is a spiced rice dish served with lean chunks of lamb on top. The server brought us some complimentary berry compote drink sweetened lightly with honey and some fried beignets served with a thinned out clotted cream. The serving sizes were massive, each order was enough for 2 people with hearty appetites. Everything was amazing, this is a great addition to the neighborhood and I think they will be around for a long time."

Fung's Chop Suey

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (62) • $

"Plenty of parking the restaurant is in a small mall. It does get tight on the weekends though. Watch out for the guys trying to sale you CD's and Movies. This time I called in for delivery. The order taker was friendly and efficient. He had to change my address because I have moved since the last time I ordered for delivery. He didn't miss a beat. Kudos to him!! :) I have ordered from here thousands of times. My food experience has been anywhere from ok to great. This time it was excellent!!! I ordered two Chicken and Broccoli with brown sauce dinner specials and two egg rolls. No grease under my rice. Fried rice was cooked perfectly. Broccoli was steamed to perfection. I really enjoyed my meal and so did my husband and kids! Keep it up Fung's!!!!! :)"

Lucky Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (80)

"Solid 3.5. Showed up and was let in and we picked a booth in the back. The waitress was late so we waited until she arrived. She came after we were there for about five minutes. I think this was about 15 minutes late but stuff happens so no biggie. She walked over and asked us if we knew what we want to order and we didn't have menus yet so waited a couple minutes to look through. My sister ordered eggs with ham and potatoes. I ordered a gyro omelette with potatoes and pancakes. My sister ordered a mini waffle and gave that to me to try. My omelette was big and delicious and the potatoes were amazing. I didn't particularly like the pancakes or the waffle. My sister liked her meal. All in all I am happy this place is in the neighborhood and I like their food. I know what I would order if I came back again and I would definitely come back."

Danke

★★★★☆ 3.7 (52)

"Get some German and good sandwiches from this place in Revival Food Hall. It also has options for vegans. Danke is best known for sandwiches and deli items. Must be good because it was one of the original tenants. The food has pretty good flavor for something in a food hall, and isn't like canned or bargain like stuff. A place to hang around is at the bar. It has some overpriced cocktails. The food is the main thing. Okay prices on the food especially for around here. The Chickpea Salad is one of the best sides. It's about $6 for a big portion and it's filling. The Veg is the vegan sandwich option. It's about $10 and comes with a side, with salads among the choices. This has arugula, braised mushrooms, eggplant, cauliflower purée, sun dried tomatoes, and zucchini. Big sandwich and is a lot for the cost This seems like a good deal to be honest. Convenient to get to if downtown. It's mainly for people who work around here. They're closed weekends."

Saigon Pho

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51)

"Overall review: 7.8/10Very large inside space for hosting all kinds of quantities if guests. They also have a stage where I assume they have Vietnamese karaoke parties here from time to time. We had a server who wasn't Vietnamese take our order and take care of us mostly, however the girl who brought us our food (or should I say.. took the food off of the robot who got to our table) was definitely Vietnamese. Yes, this place does have robots that bring you food from the kitchen. Definitely did not expect that from a more hole-in-the wall type place such as this one.Onto the food: Egg Roll: Rating: 6.5/10Subpar, incorporated several Ingredients. Greasy. The ratio between the meat and vegetables was disappointing. The egg rolls came loosely wrapped resulting in oil accumulating between the fold of the egg roll. This causes air pockets. Clearly, the egg rolls were not wrapped hard enough. They did not drain the oil. They just fried it and served it. Also, traditionally egg rolls are supposed to come with lettuce wrap and pickled veggies. What came to our table was the bare minimum. N26. Beef Stew w/ Egg noodle & rice noodle / Hủ Tiếu Mi Bò Kho Rating: 8/10 Was baseline standard good. It came with all of the fixings on the side such as the herbs. The beef was tender, but there was a lot more tendon than meat. Not a lot of actual beef. The soup itself was well-seasoned, but still lacked a little richness to it. Vermicelli Noodles Salad Bowl:N01. Pork, Pork Patty, & Shrimp paste /Bún đậu mắm tôm, chả chiên, thịt luộc. Rating: 9/10Overall was a solid dish served how it normally would be, with the exception that we did not see the crispy shallots served with it even though it is apart of the description. In fact, the picture of the food on the menu they gave us looks different. We didn't have the little red chili peppers either. The pork patty was delicious. The sauce was well-seasoned. The veggies were fresh. The tofu, patty, and pork slices were well balanced. This was our favorite dish from our meal."

Arcadia Polish Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41)

"I really loved my meal and the service here! The place is small but very cute and authentically decorated. I got husband and wife vibes from the staff, they were both super considerate and friendly. I started with an appetizer of grilled sheep cheese. The cheese is good quality and the accompaniments of bacon and (I think) cranberry relish really made for a tasty bite. I went with the polish plate for my entree. This might be the best polish plate I've ever had! The perogies were done just right, the potato pancake was huge, and the sausage was great as well. I'm not a big sauerkraut fan but this iteration is fried which makes a big difference, I loved it. The stuffed cabbage was probably the best part. I got it with the tomato sauce which was perfect, but they offer a mushroom sauce as well. This little strip mall spot is easy to miss but if your nearby it's definitely worth seeking out!"

Rice & Noodles

★★★★☆ 4.4 (70)

"Come here for among the best Thai food in Chicago for about the cheapest. It's surprising not every restaurant in Pilsen is Mexican. Rice & Noodles is a pretty authentic restaurant. Easy to miss because it's in not such a happening area. The place is pretty small, meaning most people get takeout. After hearing about it we decided to come here. It has a pretty big menu for a small place. The advertisement inside was for the Thai Red Tea. It's $6 for a large. This is made with soda water and syrup. Simple but good. We found it incredibly refreshing. On to food. There's of course noodles and rice. It's about $9 for an entree. These come with a protein choice. We both got tofu. Good portions even at lunch. We had some classic Thai. I had the Pad See Ew. This has eggs but I left these off. She had the Pad Thai, good and basic. The food came out fast and the owner was about as friendly as there is. Helpful making choices. The medium spice level is plenty for most. Get your fill of reasonably priced Thai food. It has a lot of flavor and you can adjust the seasonings even hotter. There's plenty of items that can be made for vegans and vegetarians."

Thai Pastry & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (347) • $$

"I've not been to Thai Pastry in years, but our group of three recently ate there on a Saturday for a late lunch / early dinner. Since it was not terribly busy, our server was very attentive in answering our questions about their numerous menu items and filling our water glasses.We ate family style as we shared three different entrees. I think we all agreed that we liked the sesame chicken the best. The battered pieces of sesame chicken had the perfect level of crispiness and were served with steamed broccoli and carrots and a bowl of white rice. The roast duck with rice and veggies was a close second in our unofficial tasting contest. The ba-mee noodles with BBQ pork were not bad, but somehow did not register with our collective taste buds. We asked for the noodles "dry" but perhaps the ensemble may have been more successful as a bowl of soup. Overall, we enjoyed our variety of food at Thai Pastry."

EaThai

★★★★★ 4.6 (107)

"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."

Bacowka

★★★★☆ 4.4 (376) • $$

"Yelp did it again. Wanted to try this place. My partner and I went there around noon. The place was empty, yikes, but the reviews and pictures told me to stay. The two ladies there were very welcoming. I loved the complementary pickles, bread and spread. I had the Polish plate and my partner had the potato pancake and beef goulash. Wow the portions were generous and the taste, can't wait to go back. After fifteen minutes the customers started coming in. The servers were very attentive. This is a restaurant is awesome."

Peking Chinese Food

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (132)

"Always good, and fast delivery. Not sure why all the low scores but this is my Gold Coast go to for American style Chinese food for over 5 years."

Pho Home

★★★★☆ 4.2 (73) • $$

"Pho Home is justifiably proud of their pho. It's a long-cooked bone broth that has a wonderful depth of flavor. Good variety of noodle dishes and banh-mi. Decor is quite nice, too. If you're not Vietnamese, there is always an American server to help you, and they know the cuisine.The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that "Viet Taste," about 6 blocks south, has an even better pho. But bring cash: no credit cards. Pho Home does take them, though."

Shawarma Inn

★★★★☆ 3.8 (355) • $$

"First time trying Shawarma Inn. Decided to order take out over the phone. The lady who took my order was polite and answered my questions regarding my order. Upon arriving, tye restaurant itself doesn't look much from the outside and the interior is quite simple. It does have ample seating. It wasn't busy around 830pm when I came in to pick up my order. My order was wrapped up for me when I got there.I ordered the Kefta Kebab platter/meal. It came with 2 large kefta kebabs, alot of yellow Mediterranean rice, a small salad/veggies, and squash. Also, it came with an order of pita bread and choice of soup, picked Lentil soup.Kefta Kebab was good, but it wasn't amazing. Rice tasted fresh. Soup was warm and tasty. Didn't like the squash. The meal was filling, and definitely good for 2 meals.For the price, it is alot of food and tastes good. You get your money worth for the quantity. Not sure if I would want to order the platter again. Definitely will try their wraps next time."

VinTea

★★★★☆ 4.4 (59) • $$

"I've been twice now. The place itself isn't unpleasant but not much to look at. It's nice enough. The front door doesn't always close properly so depending on the weather you might want to sit far from it. Even if it's cold, the people who work there are not. They're very nice and eager to serve. I have had the grilled pork vermicelli bowl with egg roll, the grilled pork bahn mi and I tried the mango milk tea with tapioca pearls. The vermicelli bowl was good. I've had better and worse. I would like more fish sauce and I'd like it with less chili. You can always add more at your table so I don't want extra in it when it comes to me. There's plenty of fresh vegetables and peanuts which is really a bonus. The worst part was the egg roll. They fry these up in advance I think and mine was cold and a bit stale. It's probably a good roll fresh. Not sure. The bahn mi was excellent. I like their rolls. They're perfect. Delicious sandwich. I also really enjoyed my tea. I have no idea what milk tea is. They told me it was nondairy. It's not too sweet. It went really well with my bahn mi. What should I try on my next visit?!"

Suffron Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (33) • $$

"This place is great. Came on a Sunday afternoon with my dog, and we sat on the patio. Passing trains are loud, by it's Logan Square after all, and the breeze was nice. As for the food, the Greek Salad with Gyro did not disappoint. Everything tasted very fresh, and portion sizes were perfect."

Sumi Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (124) • $$

"Back again to try their newish all you can eat sushi menu. It's 29.99 (cheaper by $5 for weekday lunch) and like many of these, it's always a concern about the quality you get. They also still have their regular menu I believe.I'm glad to say I felt that what we got was the same level in terms of good sized fish cuts, not too much rice, etc as before this menu offering. I loved that there were some more interesting nigiri than the typical options and that people who like rolls with all the things inside would get great value.The appetizer menu, plus salads and dessert made this an exceptional deal with all the selections on the menu. Service was outstanding and attentive and they didn't make us feel bad if we filled out another form to order again.It's BYOB so you can make it a great dinner without pushing the wallet. We will be back!"

Penny's Noodle Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (358) • $

"I always loved small places like this. I always appreciated the authentic spices, aroma, and taste of Thai and other south East Asian foods. Joseph suggested we come here for dinner. Glad we came here. I ordered the vegetarian bowl. It came with warm fragrant rice noodles, green onions, julienne carrots, red cabbage, mung beans, cilantro, spicy tofu, crushed peanuts, and a slice of lime. The vegetarian bowl tasted divine! The kitchen staff captured all the flavors I expected from a first class Thai restaurant. Joseph ordered the chicken soup. He said it tasted fine. Penny's Noodle Shop felt cozy and small. But groups of 4 could fit around the smaller sized tables. I liked the decorations on the wall. They looked fun and adorable. Come and bring friends, family or even a date. I highly recommend Penny's Noodle Shop."

Bronzeville Hoagie & Panini

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"I saw a vid on TikTok regarding this spot so today I decided 2 try them. Great choice. I found street parking a block east. Upon entering it appeared clean and inviting. Inside is black & white decor. The black and white photos of important historical African-Americans is a highlight. The nice lady greeted me and guest upon entering. I met the owner who stated they opened spot in March of this year. I ordered the 35th Street hoagie 4 me and pizza panini for guest. U get your choice of chips. Order took about 10 minutes. The sandwiches are full of flavor. Nothing negative 2 say at all. Definitely will be back. Great job guys!!!"

Chengdu Impression - Wicker Park

Simply Soups, Salads & Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4.1 (128) • $

"Another wonderful black owned business to support! This is in Bronzeville, which is a good 45 minutes from our house, but I'm so happy we found it. We placed an order for two sandwiches and timed them to be ready by the time we got there. Due to the pandemic they don't have dine in, but they did have several people going in to order and waiting for their orders. They have a nice selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads and soups. (Four different soups every day.) It was hard to decide! I got the Jerk salmon pita and my daughter got the Grilled salmon panini. Both came with chips and a pickle, and were very good! I really wished we lived closer!! Next time we come I want to try their make your own salad. I can't wait."

Sake Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (201) • $$

"Really my favorite restaurant in the area. There are much less options for AYCE sushi in the burbs compared to Chicago, but sake sushi & grill gives the Chicago AYCE spots a run for their money. Their makis are my favorite, the fish to rice ratio is awesome and the fish quality is at least good and usually great. The yellow tail maki and salmon makis tend to be my favorite. The dinner menu adds interesting special rolls for a light increase in price. Service is attentive without being overbearing. The price is awesome too, just 20$ for lunch - wild. I make a point to eat here every other weekend."

Palace Cantonese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (226) • $$

"PCR is one of the few remaining Chinese places that still offer a lunch special between, well, lunch hours. Minus the fact that the meal is NOT included with a can of soda but still a pretty good deal. You can get an array of choices (9 total I believe) for their lunch specials. I always stick with the #8 sweet & sour chicken. Ask for the sweet & sour sauce on the side, otherwise they will dunk it all over your chicken which can make it soggy in no time. You also have your choice between white rice or fried rice as well as an egg roll or soup. Their fried rice is good but very greasy! I despise this parking lot, however. It's a tiny strip mall off of Waukegan rd and there is hardly ever any parking. Each time I've had to park in the handicap or behind someone -so "to-go" option is definitely the best option!Overall strong choice in MG-just slightly better than your average!"

Chen's Garden

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (70) • $

"I recently ordered takeout from Chen's Garden. I have not been here in years but I wanted to get some Chinese food for my love, and she had not tried this place previously. This smallish restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall on Pulaski with three other chain food establishments, but we wanted to support a local place. They have lunch and dinner specials where you can get a main course, shrimp fried rice and egg roll. My love enjoyed her fried shrimp dinner, and the pieces of fried shrimp sure did look massive. My large order of Cantonese-style BBQ pork chow mein satisfied my craving for chow mein, though it is not as tasty as many other chow mein dishes I have sampled across Chicagoland. They did separate the pan-fried noodles in another carton from the rest of the ingredients to ensure the crispiness of the noodles. Chen's Garden serves its food in heaping portions, the pricing is reasonable, the staff whips up the orders fairly quickly, and the leftovers heat up well enough too. I hear the smoothies are pretty good, so one of these days I may have to try one."

Banh Mi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (370) • $

"Used to go to their old location on Broadway. Loved their BBQ, chicken lemongrass and their chicken curry banh mi sandwiches. Stopped today. Place smells like mildew, you order at a kiosk and not with a human and the BBQ pork banh mi was fatty and flavorless except for the jalapeño pepper and cilantro. I was greatly disappointed."

Dario's

★★★★★ 4.6 (364)

"Dario's is the best! Kindest customer service around! Their food is so good and you get a lot for the money!I randomly picked this place for lunch and I did not regret it. Amazing! Went back the next day and got the Southwest Chicken Panini and also got a customized sandwich. Yes, I created my own sandwich using the ingredients they had. Turkey, Ham, avocado, tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, Pesto aioli and Dijon mustard. Toasted perfectly. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I've had. I strongly recommend this place to anyone."

Simply Thai

★★★☆☆ 3 (183) • $$

"This was the first food we have had from a restaurant in a year. Yes, you read that correctly. This Yelp Elite adorned profile gave up restaurants completely at the onset of the pandemic and once we were in a rhythm of cooking at home, we just kept going. After passing the one year mark, we decided to use an UberEats credit that we had and splurge on a cuisine we haven't been able to easily replicate in our home cooking adventures. What a disappointment. I ordered the pad thai with tofu. The rice noodles were thinner than more traditional pad thai and the entire dish lacked flavor. The noodles were dry, the green onions were cut into big chunks, and the tofu was undercooked. It was notably missing the bean sprouts and cabbage that should have been in the dish. I thought I was maybe let down simply because after a year my expectations were high, but my husband sampled my dish and agreed that it was underwhelming for the price. My husband ordered a beef dish. I didn't try it due to a food allergy. He said it was better than my pad thai; still nothing great or worth ordering again. We split an order of fried potstickers, which were fine but nothing notable or exciting. We also ordered and shared a spring roll. The spring roll wrapper was thicker than typical, but the vegetables were fresh. I'm disappointed that this was our first adventure back into food from restaurants because this wasn't an inexpensive meal, even with the credit we had, and didn't come close to satisfying our craving for Thai food. It was nice to have the night off from cooking and dishes after a year, though."

Tata's Pierogi

★★★★★ 4.5 (354) • $$

"Small and locally owned, Tata's Pierogi provides traditional Polish cuisine in a casual and relaxing environment. There are high tops, booths, as well as lounging areas to enjoy your experience here. They are located in an industrial area of EGV with easy parking and are open daily. There are several ways to order - via the kiosk, at the front counter with a staff member or online. My fiance and I dined in here for dinner on a weekday and used the kiosk to place our order. I noticed alcoholic beverages are not offered via the kiosk however this option of ordering is user friendly and convenient. We both ordered the Polish plate which gives you a variety of all the traditional favorites. Service was quick - A staff member brought out our order within 10 minutes.The food was delicious - I'm not very familiar with Polish food however I do know what good food is and Tata's Piergi is it! I really enjoyed the Polish plate as it gave me the option to try different things and at a reasonable price ($15). I left with a full stomach and still had leftovers to take home. Tata's also has a freezer full of pierogis for purchase to take home and cook for later. The options are endless!"

Taverna Naxos

★★★★☆ 4 (44)

"We had dinner here with another couple last Saturday night who had recently had a great experience eating here. Greek food can be hit or miss for me, but when it's a hit I'm a really big fan so was excited to try it.The restaurant itself was quite busy for a Sat evening and we were seated upstairs. The tables are pretty close together and I had to keep moving my chair so that the waitress could get to the table next to us.To start we ordered some drinks (tequila, soda, lime my drink of choice) and a few apps:- Dips with crudite- octopus appetizerThe dips came sans crudite at first, but i couldn't resist so had a few pieces of pita. My favorite was probably the smoke feta dip, but can never go wrong with Tzatziki. As for the octopus I enjoyed my bite so much that I decided to order as my main entree...with a side of broccoli. My husband got the octopus entree for his, which was stuffed with greek cheese and other goodness.It turned out to be a delicious meal and one of the better greek restaurants I've tried on the North Shore."

"A hidden gem in old Chinatown.It's mostly self service so the staff can focus on the *food*, which is what real foodies go to restaurants for anyways, no? Otherwise they would be called servicees, right?The food is mostly noodles and various bao/dumplings. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu."
