    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.

Eventually arrived and even with no reservations, we were able to get a table rather quickly. The dining room had clever decor, ample space, and had an inviting atmosphere. The food photos only show a portion of the menu, so look online before going although choices are plenty, there will be discussions about the food. A nice quaint place that you gotta try if you're a local or simply looking for a different flair.

    03/01/26 - We were invited here for dinner tonight to celebrate my wife's high school classmate…read morebirthday. There were a number of her high school friends along w/her daughters that hosted the event. When we arrived the restaurant parking lot was completely full. I dropped off my wife and one of her classmates @ the door & went to find a parking spot. The restaurant was packed w/people waiting to be seated & people coming in to pick up their carry out orders.

    We've eaten here many times in the past and had a good experience. This visit was poor at best!…read morePlease note: (ALL PICTURES ARE FROM MY PREVIOUS VISITS NOT TO THIS VISIT) Unfortunately this visit is going to be the last time. Both the service and quality of food has gone way down from what they were famous for. The waitress spilled my tea, also dipped her finger in my tea, had no apology or offer to exchange it with a fresh cup. I had to ask her for a fresh cup of tea. Then the other server that brought our entrees spilled my husbands tea and again no offering to getting a fresh cup. We had to ask AGAIN for a fresh cup! While the portions were generous, the quality of all the food has gone way down. The special family recipe of thier shrimp dish Gan Pong is nothing but fried shrimp with dried chili peppers and no flavor. The Hunan spicy beef and chicken appeared to be all globs and sticky because of excessive and over use of corn starch used during the cooking process. This dish didn't have any unique flavor that one would expect. Previously we had experienced a difference in the food, taste and quality and that's what kept us returning. Sadly, after this experience I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or come back! I'd rather stick with Yu's Mandarin than drive to this place! Quality always wins over quantity in my books!

    I frequent Shaw's, and am also a huge fan of Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. However, I am not…read moresure why I don't come to Tokio Pub more often. I definitely will start! For starters, the vibe feels casual and relaxed here and the drinks are expertly shaken and potent. Our server was wonderfully attentive, helpful and fun, despite being the bar tender that night too. I had the rangoon roll and teriyaki pork tacos. Everything tasted great; perfect presentation, temperatures, and spices to make this a meal worth returning for. I have tried the filet mignon hot rock in the past and it is a fun app to try, at least once. Our only complaint is the walk (Or elevator ride) upstairs to the restrooms. I wish there was one on the first floor. (Admittedly, it is not as easy to navigate after 2 martinis) ha! I will be back for Happy Hour some time, from 3 to 5.

    We checked in a few minutes before our 5:30p reservation and were seated right away -- not many…read morediners, even offered our choice of tables. Menus arrived as we were seated, water arrived shortly after, but no greeting, no server, nothing. Another couple came in after us, got seated, greeted, ordered, and were eating while we still sat completely unacknowledged. After 15 minutes we told the host we were giving up. She looked surprised we hadn't been helped, even though our table was less than 15 feet from the host stand and directly in her line of sight. Most of the time she was lingering near the bar chatting with other employees. No apology -- just 'I'll get a manager.' Several minutes later the manager arrived. We explained what happened, but again no apology, no offer to fix it, no 'please stay, we'll take care of you.' Just 'that shouldn't have happened' and she'd talk to her staff. That's the corporate version of shrugging. We'd trekked a long way from the city only to be let down by basic service not happening at all. This is the kind of failure people don't expect from a group as large and well‑trained as Lettuce, and at this point I'm wondering if I should lower my expectations.
