My boyfriend and I visited this Thai restaurant back in May, and we absolutely loved it! We were in town for the entire day. I came here first for lunch while he was competing in a Scrabble tournament. I ordered the chicken and tofu Pad Thai, and it was so good that after he finished his tournament, I suggested we come back to the same restaurant for dinner that very same day lol For dinner, I ordered the fried rice, while he got a sushi platter that came with complimentary miso soup. Everything was delicious. We were impressed with both meals and would definitely keep coming back whenever we're in town. The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small, and finding a parking spot can sometimes take a while. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it! read more

Happened upon this place by accident when search for local food on yelp. The atmosphere was so cute and comfortable, and the staff (family) was so friendly and accommodating for our party of 6. The place smelled great, once the food start appearing it just got even better!! I had the drunken noodles; they were so crisp and tasty. A couple people got sushi, curry, katsu -- everyone was happy with their meals. When they mentioned the fried banana sundae, a couple of us had to try them, and they did not disappoint!! read more

BNK Thai & Sushi - Fried banana sundae - Japanese Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

BNK never disappoints. They've got the best Thai Tea and Philadelphia Roll in Elmhurst. Everything is always fresh and mouth watering. The mini crab appetizer is like a better version of a Crab Rangoon and it's a must have. I'm not a huge soup person, but I always get the Beef Noodle Soup. It's filling and delicious. I could eat those leftovers for days. The staff is always so nice and food comes out prompt and piping hot. The restaurant is nice, not a big space, so usually end up getting take out. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. I've only done take out and do want to dine in at some point. I love that it is a family run business and will do what I can to support them. read more

The food and service here is absolutely amazing. It was my first time ever being here and the lady that was working was really patient with me and answered any questions I had regarding the food and menu. She even had given me a complimentary beverage with my food which was great since I realized I had forgot to order a beverage. The Chicken Drunken Noodles I had was amazing, there was tons of Chicken in it which is great since many other places will put small amount. The Philly Rolls had tasted extremely fresh and good, honestly the best sushi I had in a while. While the Gyoza was honestly hands down the best especially with the sweet & savory sauce that had came with it. Lastly, for the Honey Jasmine Green Tea it is honestly good, the taste of the drink might not be for everyone since you can truly taste a flower taste and not a sweet taste. But overall everything is a 10/10. I honestly can't wait to go back again. read more

BNK Thai & Sushi - Happy Tuna Maki - Japanese Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

A small family-run restaurant serving delicious Japanese and Thai cuisine. We've never been disappointed. The owners are friendly (sometimes their sweet young daughter is helping them out), the ambience is confortable and not loud, and the prices are affordable. We especially like the Basil Thai Lover, Panang Curry, and Pad Thai. It's an Elmhurst gem. read more

BNK Thai & Sushi - Tofu pad thai - Japanese Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Don't order this one. BNK is usually a lot better than my Sunday 7 PM order. Thin cut chicken breast, sautéed in peanut sauce, uncooked (seemed uncooked) broccoli, & carrots under the peanut sauce chicken, served with white rice. I was disappointed, BNK is usually very good. Since it was late on Sunday night, maybe it was made by the backup chef. read more

BNK is all right for a small ass cafe. Came in recently and we checked out yet another place for sushi in downtown Elmhurst. It only has a few tables inside but amazingly it's possible to get a seat. A lot to choose from. They have sushi and Thai platters so there's quite a variety. Choose whether you want sushi or Thai, because they happen to have both. It was lunch and we wanted to eat light. They have lots of good things. Because there's a ton of other sushi places around here, it's natural to want to compare. We got a couple rolls. It's about $6 for each. The first one we got was the Avocado Roll. It has avocado of course. This was creamy and fresh, for sure better than gas station quality. It was simple but classic. We also had the Shiitake Roll. Another good one. This is full of earthy mushrooms and was another big roll. Good stuff at yet another sushi place around here. If you don't want sushi you can get something from the Thai menu. That's something we'll try another time. read more

have eaten here half dozen times and had carryout several times. always good and the service is always good

It's been a while since my last visit and I can't say I'm a fan anymore. Ordered online after work on Friday. My food was ready timely as promised, but the food and service was meh. I stood there for like 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. There was a worker at the sushi bar when I walked in. Another guy who was working takeout orders appeared after a few but I wasn't sure at first. I get that you probably wanted to put in new online orders to the kitchen before helping but not even a greeting. I got my usual shrimp pad thai again. The price went up ($15.99) and it tasted only "okay." Flavor didn't seem to pack the punch I recall and something off about the texture of the shrimp, possibly under done. 3 star experience by itself. That wasn't the worst part. Unfortunately, I also finally decided to try the sushi and totally regret it. I got the double salmon ($15) and it was a joke. The first offense: inside of the roll was salmon scraps. Just plain salmon rolls at the grocery store have higher quality fish than this. The second offense: the top was thin, small pieces of salmon. Not at all what you would expect from the fish used to layer on top of a specialty roll. Normally, it should be something closer to nigiri or sashimi pieces. You might think I'm overreacting, but no. I also had one bone and one fish scale in the sushi. I was trying to satisfy a sushi craving and this dish was upsetting. Never again. 0 star! read more

What an AMAZING gem! Lots of daytime light for an intimate space with three 4-tops in the main area and an alcove that can sit about 10 comfortably for larger parties if the tables should be pushed together. Let's talk food: I am a sucker for Agedashi Tofu & this by far had the best crunch with each chunky piece. I normally ask for a small bowl of rice since the tofu is swimming in broth, but there was only enough in the bottom for a good dip before eating. Then came the Thai Basil ground chicken. Just the right amount of fish sauce with the very first bite made me realize this place was the REAL DEAL!!! Stopping myself from inhaling it all because I knew I had to save myself for the Mango Sticky Rice. TBH this was my primary reason for coming in. Not all restaurants have it available. Not only was the mango perfectly ripe but the sticky sauce was just warm enough to coat every single bite! I came in with Thai on the brain but sushi is available as well, which will be for next time. Maybe. If can sway myself from their delicious Thai entrees! Meander through beautiful downtown Elmhurst and then treat yourself to some of the only amazing Thai food in the downtown area! While you're here, say hello to Bank! The restaurant name are initials for his family as well as his name (see logo pic)! So HAPPY to say I will not forget this place! read more

I really enjoyed their chicken pad Thai which I got for pick up! The staff was extremely friendly as well!

Glad to have found a new favorite Thai restaurant! Everything was fresh and delicious. Extra spicy was truly extra spicy and so tasty. The basil was fragrant and all of the spices were on point. The veggies were crisp and flavorful. The mango with sticky rice was even one of the most delicious mangoes I've had in a while. The quality of the meat and produce is fantastic. Service was great and everyone was very kind and helpful. It's a really cute little spot, and we'll definitely be back soon. It was my niece's first time trying Thai food and she really enjoyed the cashew chicken. read more

Great food and service! Always welcoming! Small space but welcoming and delicious food!

Food was soo good and the service was great! Had the green Thai curry and Thai Tea. Small quaint restaurant.

During the pandemic, I've ordered delivery from here twice. Once by phone and once via online. Both were fairly simple with a quick turnaround. The person who took the phone order was very nice and thorough, helping to ensure I made an informed decision. The pricing was reasonable and the delivery while not free was in the $3 range before tip.

BENTO BOXERS Solid weekday lunch deals can be found at this Japanese place in Elmhurst, though the quality is slightly suspect. Nichole C recommended these guys to me after her positive experience some months back. I've been to Sushi Nest not far from here (literally a 1min drive) and figured I'd give Sakana's lunch specials a shot, which they offer Tuesday through Friday from 11am-3pm. On 6/1/18, we were the only customers at noon which surprised me a bit, but whatever. Faster service for us, right? Ehhhh not really. For being the only folks in the whole damn restaurant, I felt pretty neglected :( We got an order of edamame ($4) to start, along with two glasses of hot green tea ($2 each). My better half got a sushi bento ($10) with a Philadelphia roll and spicy roll, 6pcs each. I got the chicken teriyaki bento ($10). Both of our lunches came with miso soup, as well as field greens in a light ginger dressing. The miso was fine, but the "salad" was ridiculous, as it was little more than some bullsh*t garden weeds with the tiniest hint of ginger. I'm not expecting a deluxe side salad, but c'mon. That was a weak-ass effort. Her spicy tuna was legit spicy, which we were pleased with. Unfortunately, my teriyaki chicken was teri-yucky. It looked and tasted like the poor chicken's butt, and I almost didn't finish it. I mean, I DID finish it all, but I wasn't happy about it. The 3pcs of California roll that came with my order tasted okay, yet it wasn't the prettiest. Veggie tempura accompanied that, including an onion, sweet potato, and carrot. A ball of steamed rice completed the bento. Bread = 3 Circuses = 4 * TL;DR * Maybe it's because I'm a sushi snob (more likely it's due to the fact that lots of places serve A++ bento boxes), but I wasn't thrilled with what Sakana served up. Lunch definitely wasn't horrible, just didn't live up to my expectations, and I've had way better elsewhere. Sketchy chicken teriyaki and a feeble salad, coupled with slow-ish service and no free tea overshadows the great value of a $10 bento box. Could've been a bad day for the kitchen, so I'm willing to give them another chance. Cute decor on the bathroom doors, though. read more

Went there last week with a friend when we learned that our "usual" sushi spot was closed. What a pleasant and unexpected change of plans! This place is very modest in appearance. Small intimate dining area with plain view of the sushi chef. The most accommodating and pleasant service (thank you Natalie!), and DELICIOUS and fresh sushi! I had wine (the Cabernet was very good), my friend was thrilled with the sake served with a cute glass. And the sushi was divine. Highly recommend the double salmon roll and the Elmhurst roll! My friend enjoyed many vegetarian rolls too. Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

Our daughter was playing sports in the area so we decided to try this Thai/Sushi place as we love both things. We ordered Tom Kha Kai soup and we're surprised that the lady didn't ask us how spicy we would like it. She made a decision as mild based how we looked (didn't think we could handle spice). Sushi was fresh & good but the Beef teriyaki was very hard & chewy. I had three pieces as it was too hard for me - felt like I was chewing rubber. My husband also didn't enjoy it at all. The place is small but cozy. The waitress was very nice & friendly. Prices were reasonable. Maybe would visit again but wouldn't get the beef teriyaki. read more

I came in for lunch and ordered the bento box with chicken katsu and two pieces of unagi sushi. The batter on the vegetables wasn't your typical tempura batter, but panko instead. The crunchiness in all of battered items were outrageous. I would say that their chicken was either pounded way too thin or I was just given a small piece of actual chicken because the majority of what I ate was batter. The lack of actual meat was made up by the delicious unagi, which I could eat all day. What surprised me a lot was the service. The woman waiting on me was extremely nice and attentive. I'd come back for lunch more so than dinner. read more

First time ordering in from BNK and it was delivered hot, quick, and the Pad Thai with Chicken (add Tofu) medium spice was solid. Enough heat to make your nose run but not to leave you trying to find a gallon of water. Went by this place the other day to dine in and it wasn't my cup of tea to actually eat inside (small, no ambiance, etc), but now after trying it, its definitely a great takeout or delivery option read more

Delicious! Hotasake Appetizer $9 - Grilled giant scallops, smoked salmon topped with house special sauce and scallions. MAN, did this dish make my taste buds sing! I wanted to lick the plate clean, not kidding. I may have licked the corner when nobody was watching. Salmon Oshi Sushi $13 (Chef Special) - Japanese rice, seaweed, masago, tempura crunch, spicy mayo topped with salmon, jalapeno, ikura, special sauce in a boxy shape. This one was kinda hard to pick up and eat with chopsticks since it is so boxy. There were 5 pieces, and although good, I don't think I would order it again because it didn't pack that much flavor. I didn't really notice the tempura crunch or the jalapeno. Ultimate Ocean Maki $12 - Tempura soft shell crab, scallop, shrimp, whitefish, avocado, spicy mayo. This roll was pretty tasty and crunchy. The side of shredded beet was not only pretty, but went well with the roll. Overall, it is pricey, but the quality and style are there. The food presentation is excellent. They have a lot of inventive maki rolls on the menu and I only wish I could afford to try them all. The decor is fabulous. It's such a cute little restaurant in downtown Elmhurst. It may be hard to see since it's right next to the salon in the corner. read more

Cute spot but service kind of lacked. Our sever seemed more interested in the book than she did with us.. Didn't really talk about the menu/drinks or any specials. The sushi was good but nothing exotic as seen in the other yelp pictures which was disappointing. There is street parking available towards the back and in the front. Probably won't come back! read more

Holy crap! The food is super fresh and delicious!! Came here for lunch with sil and brother for sil birthday. She's not eating meat or dairy and found something that worked for her and was super stoked! We got the Salmon chili Sashimi and it was so good we had to get a second one! We got an extra roll that was wonderful. In fact, sil had never eaten sushi before. She doesn't like fish AT ALL! and yet, she tried the salmon and boom! we just popped her sushi cherry!!! There was lunch specials, bento boxes and sushi combos. All were deliciuos and perfect and now I know why my coworkers come here for lunch. Yeah, we paid a little more than the special, but that's because we got beyond expectations sashimi. I'll be back! read more
