Noodles Etc - Chicago, Illinois

Great taste, great food. Horrible and unfriendly service. Quite frankly, the staff couldn't care less. Still, the food is worth your time and money. The curry options are delicious and you can customize how spicy your order will taste. All food tastes very Thai and it is a great experience if you consider the flavor regardless of the poor service.

It was an okay experience. The food really lacked flavor. If that was fixed then I think it would be a pretty good restaurant for the cost.
The best things we got to try were the croquettes and the Bai Mi sandwhich. The staff was kind of lax on serving / paying attention.

The fried tofu and beef salad are amazing. Ramen and pho are okay. All attendants are very friendly and helpful.

I had the pad woo sen, Singapore noodles, and the curry puff. I personally don’t do good with menus that have a to many options so I ended up getting one for dine in and one to-go. The dine in portion was huge. So I really didn’t need the to-go. Both were as described. No complaints with anything not matching up. The curry puff did have much more “puff” than I expected. That’s a lot of crust! I ended up taking most of it off but what was left was flavorful and I’d order it again. Wouldn’t order the Singapore noodle again… the curry just didn’t do it for me. But the space is calm, clean, & inviting & staff were friendly so it was a good overall experience.

Was my first time there with a friend who comes regularly. The pot stickers were great. The noodles were delicious but need a bit more flavor. Lemonade delicious but a little too sweet. Tofu tastes great, because usually I don’t like it. The waitress was very nice and showed great customer service

Poor customer service, rude to certain customers. My friend had to wait almost 10 minutes for her food after everyone at the table had got their order and almost done eating. My beef for my beef fired rice was cut so big I couldn't eat it. I paid $37.10 for that. Very bad service🤨

Prices have increased from the menu I saw on here. The food was OK. Not bad by any means but not something I'd get a craving for. You order at the counter or online and then someone brings it to you at your table. I got the Pho and asked for shrimp instead of the beef it comes with. An upcharge wasn't mentioned or listed but I was charged an additional $3. Also had the Vietnamese spring rolls and they were very chewy like they were pre-made and had been sitting a while. Friend got shrimp and beef fried rice. Asked for medium spicy and it was pretty plain and not spicy at all. Vegetable croquettes were fine. Nothing special.

Rewriting since original review was hidden by the restaurant.

UPDATE: The "executive team" for the restaurant doesn't exist on Linkedin and their other social medias are clearly spam. They're NOT on the Michelin Guide as far as I can tell. I don't know what's going on here, but it stinks. Stay away.

TL;DR: Not worth the prices. There are better and cheaper Asian restaurants in the area.

I am a bartender and server, and out of respect for this restaurant I tried to email them my review, rather than posting a public review. However, the email on their website is no longer in service, so I will write this review instead.

We've eaten here multiple times over the last 6 months.The food is mediocre and inconsistent. If you get basics (soup, fried rice, etc) they can be pretty solid. However, I’ve twice had drunken noodles come without any seasoning. And no, not your typical “not enough salt” complaint, the dish literally came with noodles, vegetables, meat, and oil, that’s it. Even when it does have seasoning, it’s nothing special.

Prices have also increased 25% out of nowhere! A $40 dinner for two has turned into $50 for the exact same order. Bottom line, the food is not worth the price. They probably think they can get away with it being in HP, but regular people live here too.
