We were there for some Chinese food. They give you complimentary hot tea when you sit down. The service was ok at best. Nice inside not very big but it's clean and has some cozy booth type seats along with open table seating. We ordered some Jumbo shrimp fried rice, Singapore noodles, pad se eew and a sampler appetizer platter. The appetizer platter came with 2 egg rolls, 2 dumplings, 2 bbq ribs, 2 shrimp toast, 2 crab Rangoons & 2 fried shrimp. The egg rolls were fresh and full of meat!! Very crispy and delicious! 7/10 I didn't have the dumplings I don't care for them myself but my wife likes them she gave them a 6.7/0 she said she's had better. The Ribs had a nice bite and flavor to them just a tad tough for me. 6/10 The shrimp toast was my favorite of the appetizers the were crispy not greasy and the shrimp was definitely there. I enjoyed the flavor of them. 8/10 The crab Rangoon however were a disappointment to me. They were definitely missing the green onion and crab! lol. Mostly cream cheese but fried well 4/10. The fried shrimp were ok. Average 5/10 They give you a lot of food for your money! As all the dishes had a great amount of protein in them! They don't skimp on the meat at all. The jumbo shrimp fried rice a great flavor and nice texture. You can taste smokiness in it. 7.5/10 The Singapore Noodles was loaded with shrimp, chicken and bbq pork, egg and veggies. It had a kick to it from the curry very flavorful and the texture of the noodles were spot on! 7.5/10 the pad se eew was also loaded with beef! (You have the option of protein) the beef was very tender, the sauce had a nice spice level and the noodles were perfectly cooked. 8/10 all in all i would definitely recommend checking them out! My bill was a little over $63 and well worth it. I'm definitely returning to them. Remember ALL reviews are SUBJECTIVE

I reserved a table for 10 people for my mother's birthday with a 7:00 p.m. reservation. My party…read morearrived at 6:55 p.m., and I asked about our table three different times between 7:00 and 7:30. Each time, I was given a different excuse. First, I was told they were waiting for a table to open up. Then they were waiting on a cook. Finally, a staff member said the people at our reserved table were still eating and they were waiting for them to get up. When I asked when our table would actually be ready, she laughed, threw her hands up, and said she didn't know. What made the situation even worse was watching other customers walk in and be seated while we continued to wait. From what I observed, Black families were waiting extended periods of time, while White and Mexican customers were seated much more quickly. A party of 15 that arrived well after us was even seated before my group. I am deeply disappointed and disgusted by the treatment my family received on my mother's birthday. This would have been her first hibachi experience, and instead it was ruined by poor customer service and what appeared to be unfair treatment. I will never return and would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

I added boba and it was chewy and sweet as well. The thai ice coffee is made stroong but was pretty good. my husband said it was too sweet. the Vegetable Lo Mein was not bad but the vegetables used seemed really old. the noodles were good but I pretty much took out all the vegetables except for the broccoli. Would recommend getting the lo mein with a different topping. We got takeout. The only complaint I have would be how the drinks were packaged. They put straws in the drinks and put plastic wrap to cover the tops (I assume to stop it from spilling) but I would've preferred putting the straws in myself. They also put the drinks in a brown, paper bag but filled it with ice (to keep the drinks cold I assume, which they were). The ice was melting and I didn't know there was ice in there with the drinks so there was a puddle on my floor and I spilled the melted ice water on myself when I lifted the bag. It wasn't a huge deal but thought I would mention in case anyone plans to buy drinks for takeout.

Excited to see a dim sum restaurant opened in downtown Oak Park. Unfortunately, their dim sum is…read morenot very good. Honestly, you will be better off going to an Asian market like H-Mart and buying frozen dim sum and making it at home . . . or maybe that is exactly what they actually serve here. The dim sum here is very small in size and lack flavor. Sui mais are usually pork and shrimp wrapped dumplings. These were small and filled with mushy shrimp. The bean curd roll had no flavor and was smaller than a cannoli. What they serve is outrageous and an insult to anyone who has had "real" dim sum. The sticky rice actually had some flavor with minimal savory filling and was the only thing passable on the menu. If you are desperate in having dim sum, I guess Sweet Dim Sum would fit the bill. Definitely, lower your expectations though on the quality and quantity of their dim sum. Sorry, but if I ever go back, it would be just to order their signature drinks. They couldn't mess that up, could they?

No, but Chinatown isn't that far of a drive, so it is disappointing that this Oak Park alternative wouldn't qualify as decent. When we walked in, there was a case of Mille crepe cakes, which looked homemade but didn't look very appetizing as they looked like pancakes stacked on and filled with whipped cream. We opted to try bubble teas and some savory dim sum. The cost of the soup dumplings was so astronomical that I could not justify purchasing four dumplings for $13.50. Also considering you can get a giant bag from Costco for that same price and it probably tastes better. The shrimp and chives cakes were honestly the best and they were just okay. The rice crepes were so bad. You can tell they were previously frozen and put into the microwave because it was falling apart. The shrimp was colorless. The veggie one we got was inedible; we sent it back. They wanted to make it right and gave us complementary mochi donuts. It was a nice gesture that we appreciated. We still ended up going to Katy's across the street because we did not feel like we had a sufficient dinner. There are no sauces here. If you ask, they'll give you the tiniest amount of sauce. There are also no chopsticks. Unless things really turn around, I'm inclined to save my money here and make the short trip to Chinatown.

We had General Tso's chicken, BBQ fried rice, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoons, and vegetable lo mein. The vegetable lo mein was a standout--flavorful, well-seasoned, and really delicious. The crab rangoons were also tasty and nicely crisp. The General Tso's chicken had good flavor, but the pieces were very large, which made them a bit harder to eat and less balanced with the sauce. It was off putting to me. The fried rice was okay overall, but it felt a bit plain. It could have used more ingredients mixed in--especially more egg--to give it more flavor and texture.

The selection wasn't huge but just right sized so you don't get overwhelmed. The items that I tried was hot and good. Nothing really seemed to wow me. The sushi was OK.

It's such a great concept because pho and beer go so well together. There's free street parking, and the restaurant is well-lit and easy to find. Our group had some vegans, so safe to say their vegetarian pho was approved by the vegans. The broth had strong mushroom flavor, but they loved that there were tons of veggies and huge portions. I enjoyed the beef tendon pho, and the broth was SO flavorful and tasty. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The ambiance could do with some more aesthetic shifts. It seems like the bar part is disjointed from the kitchen and dining area. The seating area is great for groups and we saw some young kids there too, soft and cushy seating options. There was only one server running the entire joint. And we saw one chef (Vietnamese yay authenticity) making the food. Management needs to hire more staff! Pho is great.

Actually seems more like a restaurant that happens to make a few beers along with the food. They of course have pho so pair the cold suds with hot soups. Finding this place takes some time to get here. It's certainly in a far out area of the city where there's not a lot. This is more like a residential area with a few small businesses around so it's for sure a quieter area it seems. A nice experience for just enjoying company. The place is big enough for a group but not too many though. It's about $5 for a pint. Some of the best prices for a craft brewery it seems. Best one we had was the Pale Ale. It's about $13 for an entree. These of course include pho. For sure get that because it's the specialty they make here. I got Spicy Tofu With Lemongrass And Pepper. This and many others have fish sauce. Ask them if wanting for it to be left out. These come with a side of rice. Has a location far out on Belmont. It's closed Mondays. They're a place with pho with some options that can be made okay for vegetarians.

Thai Aree is about as authentic for flavor and spice as you can get, and it gets really spicy. Has a pretty well rounded menu of classic items to choose from. Prices are pretty okay for the portions and quality. After hearing such great things about it, we made our way here. It's kind of a small place. This is in a pretty boring area on Milwaukee Avenue with not much around it but garages and that kind of stuff. Also the building looked crappy. Of course we are skeptical. Anyway, we ordered because we were already here. It's about $11 for an entree, and we each got noodles. Also you have a protein choice. We each got these with tofu. As for the spice, we got medium. She had the Pad Thai. It looked pretty good, but the spice was the key. This was medium but still pretty spicy. I got the Pad See Ewe. This was a choice of stir fried thin or wide rice noodles. Got it with the wide ones which were good. This had broccoli, Chinese broccoli, eggs which I left out, and choice of protein, and I got the tofu. Creamy and hot. The very spicy level would have just overwhelmed the flavor it seems. Has to be a consideration if looking for authentic Thai food. It recently had a renovation. The menu has plenty for meat eaters as well as vegans and vegetarians.
