Excellent food, great service! Chef and server went the extra mile to make my meal perfect!

Got take out and was quite impressed with the dumplings! The pad Thai and fried rice were good too but nothing too crazy. The beef was not well done and looked grey/scaley. Order online to get a discount. Was definitely overrated. read more

We have come here a couple times now and every time time service has been very good. The food has always been tasty, but I would caution that the ramen is no Japanese ramen, but more of a Thai spin on Japanese ramen. Still good, just different. Everytime we come, it is kind of a toss up of how busy it will be. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to their busy hours, but either way the service is always good. read more

horrible food. ordered shrimp with rice and broccoli, I got two peices of shrimp, five carrots, all cold and soggy.

4.5 starts for food. Hit or miss on service My son, a friend, and I had Christmas eve's dinner and .... Wait... wait... it was Hands down one of the beast sushi I have had since we moved from Adam Francisco. I liked it so much I went back with my husband today - taking advantage that we came from the burbs to water my son's plants just 5 minutes from the restaurant. On Christmas Eve the service was great, today was so so. The food fantastic both times. Fresh, crunchy on the right rolls, very tasty. We had several rolls: broccoli tempura, spicy tuna, Una Q Maki, dragon, volcano and a bowl. All excellent Don't forget BYOB. read more

The Most Overrated Restaurant in the Six Corners Area of Chicago First, the restaurant had a terrible odor when we walked in. Second, I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen. When it arrived at my table, it wasn't hot, the noodles on top were slightly dried out, and the soup barely filled half the bowl. I refused to eat it and took it back to the counter, telling them I didn't want the ramen. They apologized and assured me that I wouldn't be charged for it. However, when I asked for the check, the server didn't provide it right away and instead just told me the total was $45. I asked her to print the check, and when she did, I was frustrated to see that the ramen I didn't eat was still included. When I questioned why I was being charged for it, she awkwardly said she wouldn't charge me after all, clearly caught in the act of trying to slip it onto the bill. It felt like a sneaky attempt to charge me for something I refused. She eventually fixed the check, and I paid. Finally, our order took longer to arrive than that of another table that came in after us, yet their food was served much more quickly. I have no idea why. read more

Takeout review. Estimated wait was 30 minutes, but I actually picked up 13 minutes early. I ordered 6 piece crab rangoon, drunken noodles with beef, pad Thai with beef, and the hell fried rice combo (chicken, beef, shrimp). The main reason for the 3 stars was the beef used in the two noodle dishes and the rice was extremely tough and quite bland. We ended up having to eat around it. Also, the crab Rangoon were cold. The filling also looked and tasted different than usual but not in a bad way. The drunken noodles and veggies were great, apart from the beef. Typical brown stir fry sauce. The pad Thai noodles and tamarind sauce were very good. If you like sweet dishes, I'd recommend this, again without the beef. The hell fried combo rice was as expected VERY spicy. You could see the chili flakes all over. It was tasty. The shrimp and chicken were good. If I end up giving this another try, I'd go with a different main protein or just sushi next time. read more

Great local spot. Quick and easy. I prefer the sushi here - usually order for pickup.

Ordered a Salmon Poke Bowl with double protein just to receive literally 4 tiny pieces and be told that's their double portion. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Poor customer service as well. 10% off was supposed to be helpful for the next visit? No refund for the bowl or even the "double" portion that was charge but wasn't given. Save your time and money. Last time ordering from this place!!! read more

They would do better to focus on the food rather than the attractive menu. I had the Tom Yum soup. It was overly salty. That made it difficult to notice the lemongrass flavor. I also had the pod Thai. It was bland without a lot of flavor. The noodles stuck together. And it was overly oily.Overall, the meal was mediocre. We dined inside, and it was pleasant in there. It wasn't too loud. The service was decent. Preparation of the food was what fell short. read more

Quick service fresh ingredients and perfect for a Sunday night date night. awesome service 10/10 would come back!

Food and service was amazing, server was very nice and personable. Food came out fast and their Thai iced tea is the best I've had in Chicago. Will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

I keep forgetting to review this place! This is our go to sushi place. We always order for delivery. It typically takes 45 minutes once the order is placed. We order something new each time we place an order. This time we ordered Crazy noodles: not as spicy as I was expecting. It was lightly seasoned topped with Siracha Shrimp tempura maki: tasted great filled with meats and flavor Angry dragon: the pieces are big and flavorful Crunchy spicy taco maki: good wish we got more meat felt like I tasted more of the rice and veggies mixed in. Was also expecting more coconut flakes on top Crab Rangoon: great! They are small but filled with meat read more

Pros: Super nice people. Appeared clean. Open later. Cons: Had hairs in food. Small portions. Many dishes seemed pricey for what we got...lacked meat/veggies. Ordered spicy basil fried chicken rice (nothing to it), salmon spinach roll (almost 10$ for 2 small rolls cut in half), mussamun cury (good flavor but was barely any vegetables or meat and Chicken rama (good but small portion compared to nearby Thai restaurants). First visit and probably last. read more

The restaurant is dimly lit with a quiet dining room. It's small, but it's comfortable and pleasant inside. The food was served in a timely manner, and our waiter was attentive to our needs. We had a problem with our appetizer and he immediately got it fixed for us and brought us a new appetizer. The Drunken Noodles were delicious with a perfect balance of flavors and I loved the hint of basil. The shrimp tempura inside of the roll wasn't the fresh but the other ingredients were. read more

Went here for Mother's Day & Awesomely delicious food & great service! Highly recommended!

Absolutely Phenomenal Service and Food!!! The Pad Thai is beyond amazing, I mean it! It's so amazing that... the week I found this place, that's all I ate. I never in my life had a desire to eat the same food more than two times in a row... but I had their Pad Thai at least 10 times in a row, lunch and dinner at least twice a day every day for an eeeentire week LOL. The chef is a PRO, he ensures it is the same quality each time he cooks and I never seen this before, at least not to this extent!!! The consistency is just insane. The skills of that man I bet his wife is proud as hell! Needless to say the staff... is really nice and kind!!! I only met two ladies but I'm beyond impressed with their memory and I love their kindness, always been genuine in their interactions and they always put a big smile on my face! Looks beautiful inside too and I can't wait to dine in someday soon!!!! I bet it would be the best experience ever as I just get the best vibes from the place and the people working there. I love it! I love it! read more

The service & food is great.. you totally need to come to Hands on & try their Chicken Pad Thai. Nice & quiet eatery!!!

We ordered for pick up since we live less than a mile away. We just moved in August so looking for a go to Thai/sushi spot. The food was pretty good. The cashew chicken was not cooked with chili peppers like as most other places but they gave us hot sauce. The sushi was pretty good and the hands on salad was delicious and a good portion too. Miso soup was a little saltier than I like but still good. I could have probably cut it with a tiny bit of hot water. Make sure to order direct through their website and use the code lovehandson10 for 10% off read more

Amazing food I recommend me and my friends really enjoyed Pad Thai was delicious Chicken Fried Rice was very tasty read more

I think I have been a sushi binge cause that is all I have had this week. I saw this place on grub hub and decided let's try it. It did not disappoint at all. I wish this place was closer to me so I could go weekly. I got the sampler with nigiri assortment, spicy tuna roll and miso soup. All I can say is idk what type of sesame seeds are used but I was blown away by the flavor, superb. Even the soy sauce was a little different & delicious. There was a hint of sweetness that just took my meal over the top to greatness. Either way I'm writing a review so I don't forget the name and location ever. Can't wait to actually visit the location and test out the service. read more

It is easy to miss this amazing spot among the plethora of Asian focused spots in this city. This is a place that I am so happy I found. Some of the best food in the Portage Park area and beyond. The Tom Yum soup for under $6 had three pieces of jumbo shrimp. The spices were so perfectly blended that I can honestly say it was one of the best Tom Yums I have ever tasted. The Bangkok Chicken Wings are crispy and light, which is surprising for chicken wings. And the Drunken Noodles and Yakisoba? Prepare yourself, they're HUGE servings. Pretty great for each dish being under $10. The service? Phenomenal. The speediness? We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. All in all? I'm a definite fan and I'm coming back for more. read more

We had visited Hands On once before and the server was terrific. The food was good too! I was excited to go back last night only to be met by a 30 something, angry Asian woman. She was not happy to be there! The food was worse! The prices had gone up and the quality WAY down. I ordered the pad se ew with beef. At first I was disappointed with the amount of meat in the dish, until I tasted it. It was the toughest meat ever! The leather on your shoe sole would be tastier!!! The sauces for egg rolls and gomai were in a plastic thimble sized container only filled with third of the way! The rest of the food was mediocre. Sorry, not coming back!!!! read more

Wow, Hands On! How have I not reviewed you yet? I absolutely love this spot for their awesome lunch specials. For around $9 you get an entree and your choice of two side items that can include a drink or just two appetizer sides. This is the only Thai place I've been to that lets you choose iced coffee. They also serve their special 7 days a week. They ALSO deliver their lunch special! Those are all major perks to me, so I order their lunch special a lot. My faves: - Chicken Pad Thai - Beef Pad See Eiw - Fried rice (some of the best I've had) - Crab Rangoon (they use curry powder, which is an unexpected, but nice touch. - Fried Gyoza I've eaten in too, and the staff was very welcoming and courteous. The ambiance is nice, and I like the K-pop versions of everyday hits they play on the radio. I'm a noodle lover, so I haven't tried their maki or poke bowls, but I will get around to that eventually. The food is nice and flavorful, delivery is fast, and the staff is great. My go to for Thai food in my neighborhood. read more

We just ordered take out last night since our usually Thai place was closed on Sunday night. We tried our usuals: green curry with tofu, pad Thai with chicken.
