Our server was nice as we were one the last customers and we didnt feel rushed. The chicken pad Thai wasn't my favorite its flavor profile wasn't as strong and sweet as I am used to. The teriyaki chicken was actually good as the chicken wasn't overcooked. If I'm in the area I would stop by again.

They served the rare steak on a small plate so you can add to the hot broth yourself and it won't be overcooked. There were lots of noodles and meat. The broth was very delicious and not overly salty. Very large portions. Was only able to eat half and take the other half home. The waiter was nice to pack it up for me and had separated the broth from the noodles and meat. Had also ordered the Bahn mi House special sandwiches to go. I tasted more of the mayo than the pate. I like pate more so maybe next time I can ask for more pate and remove the mayo. For me it seemed there was more toppings than meat. I do like how the bread is cut from the top, so the food didn't spill out from the side. They have a large selection of Pho and Noodle bowls. Would definitely need to come back to try their Bun Bo Hue or Dirty Pho.

Aside from that interaction, we really enjoyed the food and felt the portions and quality were a great value for the price.

You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

Zenwich - Tasty Food, Lacking Warmth…read more My family and I recently visited Zenwich and tried a little bit of everything--two sandwiches and two rice bowls. Let's start with the good: the sandwiches were delicious, with standout bread that really elevated the meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip just for them, they were definitely enjoyable and well-executed. The rice bowls earned a solid 7.5 from my husband and son. Flavorful and filling, but maybe missing that little extra something to make them truly memorable. Where Zenwich unfortunately fell flat was the customer service. We visited around 5 PM on a Friday and there was only one person working. Not only were we not greeted when we walked in, but we stood at the counter for several minutes without even being acknowledged. I even saw another customer politely thank the staff member after asking for a napkin, and he didn't so much as look up in response. It left the whole experience feeling impersonal. If the service matched the quality of the food, this would've easily been a four-star visit. With just a bit more effort in the hospitality department, Zenwich could really shine.

We got into our hotel two week ago, about 15 minutes from this restaurant. We ordered take out food because it was 10 pm and were too tired to go out. The hotel recommended this restaurant. Unfortunately, the food was very bad and my husband got sick as a result of eating it. The shrimp tasted like it was four days old and the fried rice had probably been re fried endless times. Definately very bad food and we end up throwing away most of it. It was better to be hungry that eat old, burned and cheap food. Not good!. I don't recommended!!. read more

After trying almost all Thai places around Elmhurst, this ended up being my go to spot. This place will probably won't sweep you off the feet with anything particular, but it also won't disappoint you. So, you can expect consistently good food and OK prices.

But I just don't go traversing into Chinese restaurants with no prior vouching or endorsement from someone I know. Or at least I usually don't.... So I headed to NCW one Saturday and had a large shrimp fried rice and two shrimp eggrolls. The rice was just this side of being totally bland. Which is surprising given that they had sprouts, pods, scallions and a few of the other ingredients I find in the rice I like. But it had only the slightest hint of flavor. The shrimp were tiny and pink which suggested they were either boiled beforehand and added in or just weren't cooked long enough. I would guess the latter, especially since I had a few sections of rice that had were still white due to not being mixed with the soy sauce and fried long enough. Adding soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce helps, but good rice should stand on its on. This rice did not. As for the eggrolls? Meh. I don't know this to be the case, but the eggrolls felt like something a restaurant would order from a large supplier,and then fry them to order. I could be wrong, but I said that because in addition to the eggrolls being extremely bland, they had absolutely nothing colorful or distinctly flavorful within. It was fried perfectly, but had absolutely no punch or flavor, save for adding some sweet and sour sauce. All in All the food was underwhelming but passable. It didn't taste bad, the problem is it barely had any taste at all. The question is: would i order it again? Me thinks not. If I were in a remote town and this was like one of the two Chinese options then maybe. Problem is this is Chicago and you can't go more than a few miles or stoplights without passing a Chinese restaurant. A delicious one at that.
