Dowize Bistro has the best and affordable lunch here in Wilmette. I got the pad Thai with fried tofu as the complimentary appetizer. It also came with a small salad and soup. Big hearty portion! The food quality is excellent, and the variety is pretty extensive across several different cuisines and including multiple protein and vegetarian options. The ingredients have always been very fresh and prepared beautifully, and served generously. There is an array of traditional and modern Thai and Chinese dishes including curries, rice, noodles, bento boxes and sushi, and complete entrees and special meals. A personal highlight is they have ice-blended fruit freeze bubble tea drinks, which are a real treat on a nice day. Great little restaurant- Thai and Sushi. Everything very fresh and tasty! Efficient and friendly service. Highly recommended! Definitely will be back soon.

I can't believe it took me so long to find this place. I was feeling under the weather, so I wanted a duck noodle soup, and my husband ordered the saki lover (5 pieces of salmon nigiri and a spicy salmon roll). We split it all of course. Duck noodle soup- broth was perfection! It hit all the right spots and was loaded with delicious boneless duck. They did not skim on the duck. The noodles were wonderful, and plentiful, too. We had leftovers. For lunch the next day.The Saki Lover- I have never had a better tasting Salmon Nigiri. This was so fresh! The salmon roll was just as good. The salmon melted in your mouth, and the perfect amount of rice was given to each piece. I can't wait to order avain from here!

Cool little Thai place located in Wilmette is good for lunch. Dowize is right, and you would do wise to come here for some good food and prices. It only has a small dining area, which seems to work because most people get takeout. Also they deliver. The lunch specials make lunchtime the best time to get your Thai fix. A lot is on the menu at this small cafe. It's hard to believe they have so much food here. They were only doing delivery and takeout. Now they offer dine in. Of course most people still get takeout. Upon seeing the inside, it's easy to see why. It's tight quarters. There's only a few tables. It was lunch on a weekday and they had specials going on. We got the Lunch Box, where you make choices on some items that come in this. It's about $10 depending on the protein choice. These all come with miso soup. It was light but full of salty bean flavor. You pick an appetizer from the list. Get crab Rangoon, egg roll, fried tofu, or gyoza. We each got the fried tofu. It was little pieces and fried to a crisp. This came with a sweet and sour sauce. After this you pick a protein. There's beef, chicken, shrimp, tofu, or vegetables. I picked tofu. She had vegetables. I thought the tofu had pretty good flavor. This came with rice and vegetables. Also you choose the style of how it's cooked. I got it as Spicy Kung Pao. It certainly had a spiciness but it wasn't too much to handle. She had it as Pad Kee Mao. It came with noodles, so it was a little different. There's egg in a few of these specials so be sure to say if you don't want any in it. Best time is at lunch to take advantage of the specials and save a bit. It has a lot that can be made vegetarian including pretty much any of the specials, because you can choose proteins and ingredients. They have dine in, but it's only a few tables so most people get takeout.

Very good Japanese and Thai food. Also, very fast pick up. The first time I tried I felt it was a bit bland about a year ago. I'm so glad I gave it another chance bc I've ordered now at least four times and always delicious.

Came her for lunch with my husband. The menu was extensive. They have your usual Thai options as well as Japanese options. The prices were very reasonable for downtown Wilmette and the portions were generous. We ordered the Pad Say Ew and my husband ordered the Pad Thai. Both were excellent. The lunch special came with 2 generous sized egg rolls each in a bento box which was a nice presentation. We eat at a lot of Thai restaurants and I would put this restaurant at the upper echelon. The pad thai wasn't too saucy like other places. The ambiance was very cozy as well. They have bubble fruit freeze options which I look forward to trying again. Overall, good food at a good price. Look forward to coming back again.

Idk. This place is fine. It's not knock your socks off Thai food, but then again it's more of a pan-Asian place. The Thai food is one dimensional and has no depth of flavor. We ordered the red curry chicken and it was good but not great. The lard nar (sorry if I spelled that wrong) had beef that was overly tenderized and the sauce was way too soupy. Apps were way better: shrimp and veggie tempura were spot on! The shrimp shumai was deeeelish!Service was efficient but then again the place wasn't that busy for a Saturday night in Wilmette. I think this place survives more on their takeouts as there was a pretty good traffic of customers coming in to pick up their orders or it could've been a delivery service. I prob wouldn't write this place off but there's limited choices on the North shore.

They have the best Pad Thai one of my favorites ever. The sushi is also pretty good as well as their appetizers.

The servers were very rude and implied we were wrong about our order. We met the owner the first day and thought he was great. But the two female servers were unfriendly enough to cause us to never return.

I've ordered from their lunch menu a few times. I love Korean Bi Bim Bop. Their version does not taste like Korean Bi Bim Bop. It tastes very bland. The beef/protien is scarce on all menu items and heavy on the rice. Same with the sushi lunch set. Barley any tuna or salmon and lots of rice. If you're really hungry the rice will definitely fill you up.

We tried to support this restaurant but have given up. A hair in the food, small portion sizes, spoiled meat---with no apologies, as noted by other reviewers. Very sad because it used to be decent!
