    Boat noodles, mango sticky rice
    Minerva H.

    The boat noodles and mango sticky rice were both delicious. The broth of the boat noodles was really flavorful. The mango sticky rice had the perfect ratio of mango, rice, and coconut sauce. The service wasn't the best today though. I had to notice there was a separate dessert menu and ask for it myself. The employee was also a bit persistent about seating me at a smaller table under direct sunlight. I get it, since I was just one person, but being in direct sunlight was also quite uncomfortable.

    Pad Thai
    Sammy W.

    Such a cute place to stop by at. Service was great we got seated immediately and we order two dishes and a drink. We got the pad Thai with shrimp which was one of the better pad Thais I've had in my life. I hate when the noodles are super soggy and fall apart and this wasn't an issue here. The panang curry was delicious light and so flavorful definitely recommend. The Thai iced tea I would've loved for it to be sweeter but it had a very strong tea taste which was great. Check this place out the only thing that gave me a little notch down was portion size and that there were many small charges depending on the meat I wish it was just a set price or listed on menu.

    Stopped in sunday evening for dinner and were sat right away on the patio. Our waitress was super attentive and quick to see if we needed anything throughout our time there. Got a few apps - the vegetable egg rolls were crispy, the cucumber salad had a good bite, and the Larb salad was fresh and a great portion though a bit too much fish sauce for my personal liking (though my parents both really liked it!). I had Pad See Eiw with chicken and broccoli and it was large enough for at least another meals worth of leftovers! Really fresh food at good prices - would visit again!

    Came twice, first time was just for drinks and then had to go back and try food. Drinks were excellent, and my friend had the special mango sticky rice which was excellent! A bit unexpected but worth the try! We came back for food, and got the spicy chicken egg rolls. So good, and then I had the panes curry which was excellent. Tons of chicken, great flavor, and excellent service! Cute little atmosphere and a great lunch or date spot!!

    The restaurant is called Immm, which means "full" in Thai, but ironically the portions are so small that you definitely won't leave feeling immm. The food itself is delicious and full of flavor, but the portion sizes are quite disappointing, especially for the price. If they increased the portions, the overall dining experience would be much better.

    Beef drunken noodles
    Insia Z.

    Wow this place was so yummy, super fresh and bright beef drunken noodles, would definitely get them again. Loved the lil coconut rice puddings. The chicken spring rolls were good but miss-able. Can't wait to come back. Excellent service and very cute vibes (lots of pics of the food which was helpful)

    This place is right in the heart or Arglye and has such good Thai food. Loved their papaya salad and chow fun noodles. The tiger cry was crispy and full of flavor. The service was great here and the ambiance inside was really nice. Especially during the summer you can sit by the window which is open to the sidewalk. Will definitely be back soon.

    Papaya salad
    Michelle W.

    Best thai food Chicago! The service is fast and food is served quickly. The space is comfortable to dine in as well. Parking needs to be paid parking however on the street. My favorite item to order is their crispy chicken skin and Khao soi. They both have the perfect crunch to it and the portion is good. I always have extras to take home.

    chicken pad see ew
    Emily C.

    Great Thai takeout option. The pad see ew was super tasty. Could've used more veggies but overall no complaints

    BAMEE MHOO DANG HANG WITH SHRIMP WONTONS
    Em K.

    Had a great experience at Imm Rice and Beyond! I got the Bamee Mhoo Dang Hang with the shrimp wontons added on, and it was a flavorful, satisfying meal. I'm really glad I added the shrimp wontons as they were delicious and complemented the dish perfectly. The service was excellent and attentive throughout. Solid spot for authentic Thai flavors. Would definitely come back!

    You get friendly service, for sure, as it is obvious that the workers there enjoy their job. The interior decor is very catchy, even cute. Restrooms are what you'd expect at an Asian restaurant, but not bad. But we go to a restaurant to eat good, flavorful food, right? It was quite ordinary, to be honest; nothing to match the trendiness of the interior environment. I'm willing to give any place a second chance. So, maybe we will do just that!

    A nice, warm restaurant with a variety of authentic dishes. We got the chicken satay, gaeng kiew whan with tofu, and pad prik khing with chicken. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was really good and was a nice starter. The gaeng kiew whan was flavorful and somewhat spicy. There was a good amount of tofu, but I felt like there should have been more than just bamboo shoots in the curry. The pad prik khing was also tasty and pretty spicy. The green beans were a generous portion, but it would've been nice to have more chicken too. Chose the kao tom madt for dessert and it was actually really enjoyable. You wouldn't think beans would work with dessert, but they gave it a nice texture.

    When are they reopening? It's currently closed for Renovation

    Wednesday

    Can I get really really spicy Thai food at Immm? If not, where can one find that in chicago?

    You can get really spicy at Immm also Sticky Rice and Aroi Thai. Not your usual commercial Thai food/menus in these places but Northern Thai food (Isaan province)

    This is the place to eat in Chicago in my opinion, and has made every other restaurant look bad…read more it's the absolute best meal in the city, at a great price, with a super awesome staff. I bring everyone i know here at some point. Only negative thing to say is that i no longer feel anything about anywhere else that I eat. Im okay with that though, because in my opinion this is how you run a restaurant. They are always full, but it is always worth the wait!

    Sunday Funday with a fantastic first visit to a Chinatown gem!…read more I felt like Chinese food today, and rather than eating at my neighborhood regular, I wanted to go straight to Chinatown for the most delicious, authentic experience. Thanks to my deep dive and discovery on Yelp, MCCB turned out to be the perfect spot to achieve this. The restaurant has held its Michelin status for five years now, and for my first time visiting, the flavors here were incredible. Please note: the restaurant signage is not easily visible from the street since the storefront faces inward toward the mall plaza, and while looking for it, I ended up asking a local man and his wife for directions. He was so kind and welcoming that he unexpectedly left his wife on the sidewalk, my husband in the car, and walked me right across the street and into the mall to point it out from the inside! WAIT TIME: there is a 1 to 1.25 hour wait period to be seated for a table, and a $10 fee via credit card is required to secure your spot, which is then fully transferable to your bill upon checkout. The wait is a great time to walk, explore the shops, restaurants, all Chinatown has to offer, and get your steps and miles in! SERVICE: our first server, Allen, was a bit on the stiff, curt side, but overall nice. However, we had to move from a two-top table to a four-top to accommodate all the dishes we were trying. In that changeover, we were blessed to get one of the BEST servers there, Ashley, who made the experience wonderful. FOOD: we ordered an absolute feast, starting with three starters. The Cheng Du Style Dumplings were fantastic. The Crispy Crab Rangoons were actually not mini at all and had a great crunch. The Szechuan Style Cucumber was a bit underwhelming and a slight bit on the soft side for my tastes, as I prefer my veggies crunchy even when cooked. We ordered everything with the mild heat option so there was no overwhelming spice, just great flavor. For the main dishes, we started with the Cauliflower Flank Steak and added broccoli to it, which was a fantastic addition. It is cooked in an oyster sauce and has none of the standard sweeter seasonings of the other dishes. I chose this to balance a sweet and salty rationing across my dishes, finding that MCCB is a great place to get that perfect balance. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce was perfect with the mild heat option as well, and the Honey Black Pepper Flank Steak was also incredibly savory, tender, and good. We paired everything with garlic string beans, white rice, and a great jumbo shrimp fried rice. I preferred water, while my husband had a few Diet Cokes. The food comes out hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. PARKING: parking is convenient--there is street parking or you can use the two north and south lots within walking distance. The north lot is on Archer and Wentworth, and the south lot is on Cermak and Wentworth. Validated parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 hours, and you will only pay $3 with the validation. Just make sure to stay within that time limit and get it validated, because if you go over the 3 hours or forget the validation, you will have to pay the full price for the lot. PRICE: the pricing here is very reasonable for a Michelin-recognized restaurant. Our dinner came out to just under $146 total, which offers phenomenal value given the large portions and top-tier quality. If you are seeking high-quality, delicious Sichuan food in Chinatown that completely lives up to its multi-year Michelin status, and can be customized perfectly to your spice comfort, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend and will return with family!

The cold gluten salad is a true highlight here, with an impeccable springy texture and an absolutely perfect mix of chili oil and sesame in the seasoning. The flatbread was also a standout, being perfectly crunchy and flavorful alongside a cumin lamb with a good punch. I was less impressed by the hand-pulled noodles. The soup itself was fine, as were the lamb intestines (though I really prefer them grilled). However, for hand-stretched noodles, the noodles were just lacking and missing something. Maybe wheat noodles get better the further west you go, and it just isn't quite Lanzhou style.

I didn't like lamb intestine soup as much, there are a lot of different organs in there (liver, intestine, tripe, stomach, etc.) and I'm not a huge organ fan. The lady taking our orders encouraged us to also order one of the flatbreads and we also had the sliced beef maw, which was excellent! Everything was pretty hot, so take caution with the spice level! The restaurant is small, and at some point an entire tour group came in, and the steps are slippery at the front in the rain.

Our large group was accommodated easily, and we were served relatively quickly after an initial delay while we were waiting for someone to come by. Food came soon after that. We ordered a wide range of things: honey shrimp, beef tripe, pork intestine, Hong Kong style fried noodles. Everything here is solid and delicious. Portions are reasonable too. Ambience is nice, clean, and modern. Only issue while we were here is that some in our group tried to order their baked chicken over spaghetti and they were out of spaghetti.

You can always count on Chi Cafe for a satisfying meal when hungover. Things have definitely changed over the years. After COVID, the hours became more limited, and the neighborhood has faced challenges that have unfortunately affected the area's late-night scene. It's sad but Chi Cafe still delivers when you're craving quick, comforting food. Whether it's a bowl of noodles, , baked rice dishes, Hong Kong-style cafe classics, or a late-night snack, the menu has plenty of options that satisfy those comfort food cravings. It's the kind of place where you know exactly what you're getting, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. The biggest downside is that prices have increased noticeably over the years while portions seem to have gone in the opposite direction. What used to feel like an incredible value now feels like a clear case of shrinkflation. The portions are smaller, and the bill is definitely higher than it used to be, which can be a little disappointing for longtime customers who remember the old days. Even with those changes, I still find myself coming back here just not as often. There's a nostalgia factor that's hard to replace, and the food continues to hit the spot when I'm looking for something warm, filling, and familiar. For me, Chi Cafe remains one of those places that may not be quite what it used to be, but it's still worth visiting when you're in the neighborhood and looking for a dependable meal.
