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.

Had great lunch at this Asian restaurant in Hoffman Estates. It has a kind of confusing order…read moresystem if you're eating inside. Noodle Deli is one of this area's many authentic restaurants. A lot more than just noodles of course. The prices are kind of high but you get a lot. Coming in here it was confusing because there wasn't anyone at the front. It's one of those places you seat yourselves and scan the QR codes to order. The menu is mostly meaty stuff. Had to make a few changes to our items. The server came out to confirm these. It's about $15 for the Biang Biang Noodles. We got them to replace the beef with tofu. Finally got it and it was great. This also has bok choy, chili powder, garlic, and oil so there was a spiciness. Get really authentic Asian food here. It's closed Tuesdays. This is one of those places that closes between lunch and dinner and this is even on weekends.

Noodle deli is a small business that you can tell has immense passion for food and serving customers! The food is amazing every dish was fresh and flavorful. It kept making me want more food! I would highly recommend the tofu skin and vegetables ( this has peanuts if you have a nut allergy please be mindful ), I also recover the cumin lamb, and the Dan Dan noodles! The service was good. Given it's a small business one had to be patient but, I feel it's worth it! The ambiance was great! I like the decor and how clean the space was. Overall, I would highly recommend noodle deli for anyone who wants fresh, flavorful food that won't disappoint you!

I SAW A MOUSE CRAWLING INSIDE THIS RESTAURANT! AFTER ALREADY SEEING A ROACH IN THE BATHROOM…read more I dined here on 8/7 and was seated near the bathroom/hallway leading toward the kitchen. I first saw what appeared to be a roach in the bathroom and tried to brush it off. Then I saw a MOUSE crawling inside the restaurant. My food had just arrived, I took one bite, and immediately lost my appetite, not to mention ton the food looked like it was a dollar store microwaveable dinner! There were also mops and piles of clothing/belongings sitting in the hallway near the kitchen area, which only added to my concerns about cleanliness. What made it worse was the response. There was no manager available, staff acted like I was making the mouse up, refused to take my concern seriously, and still made me pay for food I couldn't stomach eating after what I witnessed. Seeing both a roach and a mouse during ONE visit is enough for me. I have filed a formal health department complaint requesting an inspection. I would absolutely not eat here again.

Best place to get noodles in Hoffman Estates. It certainly has lots of these. Asian Noodle House is…read moreauthentic as it gets. Has limited room even though a lot of tables inside. This gets especially busy at lunch. A lot to choose from. It's got a lot of noodle styles as well as whatever else is put into it. The menu is mostly meaty with beef, chicken, and seafood. Hard to find anything without it. Thankfully they made a custom option for us. It was about $12 for the Udon Noodles. We got it with tofu and vegetables. It turned out pretty great. There was a light spiciness. Certainly it's among the best of the many authentic Asian restaurants around. It's located on Roselle at Higgins. There's not much room inside so many people get takeout.

And yes, in case you didn't know, while it's called "International", all those nations are in Asia. We come here mainly for two things - either getting ingredients to make hot pot at home, or just eating hot pot here. They also have dry pot, which my wife and I really like as an option. You grab a basket and fill it with whatever veggies you want, then a separate one and fill it with proteins, then you pay by the weight. You can either get it hot pot style in a big bowl of hot broth, or dry pot where they cook it in the broth but serve your food already cooked. As far as the grocery selection, they have a big seafood selection and a decent butcher area. Also a lot of Asia snacks and frozen selection, and a small liquor section too. Produce is fine. But if you're making hot pot at home, they have the sliced meat, soup base, sauces, and a little frozen fish ball self-serve area. If you don't want to eat hot pot here, they serve other Asian hot dishes, and there's a bubble tea spot and bakery here, but I haven't tried anything else besides the hot pot. Sense a trend yet? It's not as big as Joong Boo, and it's bigger than the current H Mart for now but will be interesting to see how the new one compares. Overall it's a fine grocery store and we'll come back when that craving for mala spice strikes.

The premade packaged banana marble bread was good but probably super processed. The waffle was pretty small, palm size, and the original one was served in the circular paper coffee cup holder, which is hilarious. The one with icecream was okay. Can't really taste the green tea flavor. Neither was super expensive but still probably not worth the price. Husband got a lavender latte subbed out with oat milk and it was pretty good but not impressive. Not too much lavender flavor but might not be a bad thing cuz some lavender flavor is too overpowering or artificial. This place is just ok. Staff seemed to be teens or young adults, pretty friendly and accommodating with us asking about extra plates to share with kids.

It took a little while for a server to come see us though. They staff the kitchen plentifully but it sees as though they may be short on servers. We ordered appetizers chicken sticks and calamari and both were excellent. For entires, we ordered orange chicken, lemon chicken, the rainbow lo mein, kung pao chicken, and then sweet and sour chicken. The food is so very good. Probably the best Americanized Chinese food we've ever had. Especially the kung pao. One thing to watch out for is the tip is added to your bill automatically. We did call afterwards when we realized this and the restaurant accommodated us appropriately. We were pleased. Regardless, I would very much recommend this place.

The restaurant is huge and most tables have a view of the glass walled kitchen. We started with hot and sour soup. This was one of my favorites way back and it was just as good as I remembered. We also ordered Moo She Pork and Mongolian Beef. The Moo Shoo Pork was better when doused with hoisin sauce. It seemed a bit bland without. The Mongolian Beef itself was pretty good. The issue was the sauce was totally congealed making it visually unappealing. The beef definitely needed the sauce and it was hard to spread the "blob's of what was supposed to be sauce. Service was a fair at best. One of the floor people was responsive with water and drink refills but we rarely saw our server. I remember hearing somewhere, "you can't go back". Now I know what that means!

We were seated immediately and the service was amazing. The interior is pretty plain but the food options were crazy. Huge menu serving both Japanese and Chinese dishes . Prices are on the higher side but the portions are huge and the food is made in house with fresh ingredients. I started with the Alaska Roll which had salmon, avocado and cucumber. The roll was just average. For our main entrees we had the Beef Chow Fun with pan fried noodles. Very tasty with a fantastic brown sauce. I added a little Sirachi for some heat My wife is Gluten free so they made her a chicken and vegetables dish with a white sauce. Very good. For dessert we opted for some Mochi but unfortunately we were disappointed with the taste and portion. Definitely not worth 1.95 per piece.
