    Whoa! Why didn't I know about Rosie's?? It's tucked away in an office building near IKEA. My son…read moreand I popped in for lunch today and upon entering, I knew this place was the real deal. It says authentic Italian deli all over it. Not in a pretend way, but in an authentic way. The service is warm and welcoming. The list of sandwiches is abundant. There is something for every taste bud. I ordered the Al Pacino and my son a tuna sandwich. The portions are huge, the meat is fresh, thinly sliced and piled high. I smell it through the bag and couldn't wait until I got home to taste it. With the first bite, I was absolutely blown away. There is no comparison because the flavors out performs every sandwich shop in the area. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and I know I will certainly return again and again. What a wonderful gem!

I make my own Muffiletta for family a few times a year and this came in a very close second to mine. Served warm on a perfect sesame seed bread, overflowing with meat, cheese and olive salad. Top notch. My husband had the meatball which he spoke very highly of meatballs were very flavorful, he also had the Italian Deluxe, could not go wrong with this classic. Hands down a great establishment. We'll be ordering again!! 5*

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

The fried tofu, fried rice and noodle dishes would highly recommend. They are our staple dishes. The industrial decor with open ceilings make the space appear open and spacious. However, it creates a space where the noise fills the room. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely bustling and gives a lively feel while dining. Staff were friendly. The wait staff seemed very busy managing tables. Service wasn't slow, but definitely felt their restaurant is always at capacity which is a good problem to have! But just expect to have a wait while there.

    The Din Tai Fung of Illinois is finally here!…read more My family and I have been chasing the high of Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings for years, but there has always seemed to be an absence of restaurants like this in the Midwest. Thankfully, Phat Phat stepped in to fill that gap. We drove 30 miles for a late lunch around 2:30 p.m. to hopefully beat the crowds. There's a huge parking lot in the back, the building itself is incredibly unique, and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It feels modern while still being warm and inviting. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered two baskets of the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, the Enoki Mushroom appetizer, Chicken Fried Rice, Phat Phat Chicken, Nasi Campur, and finished the meal with the Mango Sago. Everything was incredible. The soup dumplings definitely filled the void that Din Tai Fung left behind. Every dish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The Mango Sago was the perfect palate cleanser and a refreshing way to end the meal on a hot summer day. The standout for me was the Enoki Mushroom appetizer. That will be a must-order every time we come back. We also have Indonesian family and have visited Bali, so we were excited to try the Nasi Campur. It was spot on. The satay is another must-order in my opinion. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and the rest of the staff were just as welcoming and pleasant. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we'll absolutely be back.

    A friend and I chose to meet here after seeing the sponsored ad for a $6.99 Choose 2…read more When I placed my order and presented the offer, I received objection from the cashier, who said she had not received any marketing info about this and didn't think the store was participating in the promo. I showed her the ad, where it specifically states the Schaumburg location is participating, and gave her the offer code, which is valid for the entire month of August. She continued to object and made a big production of making a phone call to find out if they'd let her honor the advertisement. She couldn't reach whoever she was calling, and told us in an annoyed tone that she'd honor it THIS TIME, indicating that we shouldn't bother returning to take advantage of the deal the store is advertising. The whole experience was very off-putting and I think customers and corporate need to be aware that locations may not be honoring the promos that are being blasted out in sponsored ads. My friend and I each drove 30 minutes for lunch and chose our restaurant solely based on this offer. The food was good, but the awful customer service definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. Two weeks later, Corner Bakery is still promoting this deal at the Schaumburg location. If I knew the offer would be honored without a fight, I'd be back, but based on my last experience, it's not worth the risk.

She didn't smile, didn't greet, and seemed annoyed when I asked her where the sides were listed on the menu board. (The sandwiches on the board said it comes with a side.) Ashley said the sides weren't listed and verbally told me what the sides were. She mentioned soup as one of the sides, so I ordered the soup. When I ordered the soup, however, I noticed an additional $3.09 charge for the item. I thought one side was included like she said, and inquired about the charge. Ashley said the soup side is an additional charge. (The sandwich was $12.19.) I also ordered a desert. Ashley informed me that the desert was $2.50 each instead of the $4.69 or $4.49. I was delighted and let her know. But then I looked at the charge on the screen and it was not showing the $2.50 she mentioned. When I asked about that, she looked and said oh, it's not $2.50. No apology, just an attitude. No eye contact, just a dismissive, I could care less demeanor the whole time. When my order was ready she just said my name, left the bag near the inside of the counter and walked away. I had to reach back in there to retrieve my order. I'm disappointed with the customer service. Additionally, when I looked into the kitchen while waiting for my food, I noticed a woman with brunette hair eating and chomping while turning around and preparing a sandwich on the grill. Not the most hygienic or professional. The customer experience was unpleasant and I'm hoping it will improve because without customers there is no business and no jobs. Regarding the food, if you're expecting the club sandwich to be the traditional 3 decker design, think again. Two slices of bread instead of three makes it easier to eat, but I was disappointed to find one thin slice of turkey.

    If you are looking for authentic Central Asian cuisine, Sorry Mama Cafe is a must-visit!…read moreWe ordered the hand-pulled noodles (Lagman), fresh traditional bread (Tandyr Nan), and beef kebabs (Shashlik). The Lagman was incredible -- rich, flavorful broth, tender beef, and perfectly chewy noodles. The bread came out warm, fluffy on the inside with a crisp crust, making it perfect to dip in the broth. The kebabs were juicy, well-seasoned, and paired wonderfully with sliced onions and sauce. The service was excellent -- the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is welcoming, the tea complements the meal perfectly, and the portion sizes are very generous. Highly recommended! And more park lots . 5 of 5.

You absolutely have to try the boorsok--they're freshly fried, served hot with sour cream, and are incredibly tasty. The plov was also amazing, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The gyuru lagman itself was delicious, with great flavor and perfectly prepared noodles. The only thing that could be improved was the meat. It wasn't very tender, and it seemed like it either wasn't cooked long enough or wasn't the best quality. Aside from that, the dish was very enjoyable. Overall, it's a lovely place with great hospitality and authentic, delicious food. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

I work in Itasca and this place is luckily pretty close for my lunch hour. It's the perfect take-out place, but honestly decorated so cute and cozy inside that I would be perfectly happy taking my time eating in too. It feels like you're waiting for your halmeoni to cook you a home cooked meal. There isn't always someone at the front desk, but a bell will ring when the door opens. If they don't hear it, no problem, you just have to peek in the back and say, annyeonghaseyo! and someone will be right out to help you. It has become my regular lunch hour spot.

    My first Yelp Review of 2026!…read more Kicking off the year with Kai Mom's K Food To Go -- and I'm so glad I finally tried it after seeing all the buzz. They have quite an extensive menu offering both Korean & Chinese entrees. It was tough deciding what to choose but we ended up ordered the Jjampong + Jjajangmyeon combo, Pork & Stir-Fried Squid, Galbitang, and Soy Garlic Fried Chicken (Bone-in). Out of everything, the Jjajangmyeon was the clear standout. The flavor was so good that I'd honestly come back just for that alone. Absolute comfort food. The Jjampong didn't quite hit for me -- it wasn't bad, but it felt a little bland and lacked the umami I usually look for. I've had better elsewhere, so I'd probably skip that next time. Similarly the Pork & Squid stir fry just didn't pack the right punch for me so I would pass too. Other highlights were definitely the Soy Garlic Fried Chicken and Galbitang. The chicken was packed with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside -- a must-order. The Galbitang was comforting and hearty, with about four bones in the soup, super tender meat, and a clean, soothing broth. The space itself is small with only four tables, and we lucked out getting one. It has such a cozy, homey feel -- like you're sitting in her kitchen while she cooks you a homemade Korean meal. Service was excellent too; they checked in often and kept our drinks refilled. Overall, a great start to my 2026 food reviews. I'll definitely be back -- especially for that Jjajangmyeon and Soy Garlic Fried Chicken. I can't wait to try more of their dishes.
