    Take out area
    Sedrick M.

    The food here was good. Second time visiting and the bourbon chicken was good. It was not overly salting like many of others. The service was fitting for a traditional Chinese restaurant. They were quick with our take out so could not complain. The interior was nothing to write home about but will be back for a good take out Chinese.

    Pad Thai

    Chinese takeout is either hit or miss for me. I am either in love with my meal, or throw half of it away. J-Wok has become our go-to Asian takeout spot and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Recently, we branched out from our usually sushi order and I go some Pad Thai to go along with it. It tasted fresh, wasn't greasy or overly sauced, and had just the right amount of toppings in it. I almost always add a little chili sauce to my Asian food, and once I did that it was perfect. I will definitely be ordering the Pad Thai again (probably in a few days...) As I mentioned, we usually get sushi when we order out from here. We kept it light this time with just a cali roll and a smoked salmon roll but both were fresh, well made, and held their shape through the "picking up, dipping, and inserting into mouth" motion that sushi requires. We've had a variety of rolls from here and are never disappointed. One of the guests we were with ordered Curry Fried Rice, dumplings (can't remember which ones), and Mongolian beef. All of which I sampled and were wonderful. I think the Curry Fried rice might become a staple for us when we do future ordering. J-Wok does Asian takeout right. Quick, fresh, and reasonably priced. See you there this weekend :)

    All the sushi!

    We ordered take out from here so my review reflects that! We ordered a bunch of sushi online because it was easy and the perfect excuse to not cook. The online ordering process was very simple to use and told us the wait time of 35 minutes for our order to be ready. Something unique about this place is that they have two menus. One is Chinese inspired and one is Japanese inspired. Both have various options but we wanted sushi so we focused on the Japanese menu. Each roll came with 8 pieces around the $14 range per roll. I had a couple of my girlfriends over and we ordered a bunch of different rolls to try. We got a few sexy mexican rolls, the spicy tuna, and tiffany's roll. We got extra spicy mayo and it was a solid move because the mayo was our favorite part. My sister has had the sexy mexican roll before and I'm so glad she suggested it. It had shrimp tempura, spicy crab, jalapeno, cilantro, and was topped with avocado. The fish was fresh and the jalapeno and cilantro were such a great surprise in the roll; I've never had anything like it! Again, pair this with the spicy mayo and the room will go silent. The sushi had great portions and was very filling. We got an order of edamame and it was still hot when we got it at home. My husband picked our order up for us because he is the sweetest pea in the world. I think our order was ready exactly on time because he picked up rather than us doing delivery. Overall, we were happy with everything and would order again!

    Awful food and service. Rude service, bland and sloppily prepared food. Just awful. Food was luke-warm for in-dining service.

    Hey fellow Yelp users! I went to Forbidden Noodles in La Grange on 7/17/24 (Wednesday) with my…read morebestie. This was my first time coming here so I didn't know what to expect. My bestie has been here a few times, so I went with the Ramen should recommended I should get. Forbidden Noodles definitely exceeded the expectations I didn't have. Food: I ordered a pork tonkotsu with miso instead of the tonkotsu ($14.99). Since I was treating myself that day, I also decided to try their cream cheese rangoon with their spicy mayo ($3.99 for 3 pieces) and it was absolutely delicious! Honestly a great combo! Atmosphere: I loved the atmosphere. I went on a really hot day, so it felt nice walking into the cold. The place had low lighting which gave it a warm and cozy aesthetic. Perfect place for a date or catch up lunch/dinner. Customer Service: I thought the customer service was great. The cashier that took my order was really nice. She even brought out cups of water for me & my bestie even though neither of us asked for any. Parking: There's a parking lot, parking garage, & street parking which is all FREE. Street parking is hit or miss, so I totally recommend parking at the parking lot or parking garage. Overall Experience: Overall, I had a good experience at Forbidden Noodles. I would highly recommend this place if you're craving some Ramen but want to skip the trip going to Chinatown (although Chinatown does have a good chunk of Ramen spots). You can even watch a movie before or after grubbing at Forbidden Noodles at the nearby Classic Cinemas La Grange Theatre. I hope this review helps Forbidden Noodles & its current and future customers. Have an amazing day!

I was seated immediately upon entering on a Sunday afternoon, but there's only a limited number of private booths, so I was seated at a table that was right in the path of the breeze from the door. I asked if there was anywhere else I could be seated because it was very cold out that day and was told the bar was the only other option, so not the most comfortable dining experience. Staff and service were pleasant though. I also wish they had a full bar, they mostly only had bottled drinks that, which were kind of pricey. Overall, I would return if I was in the area, but it's nothing I'll be dreaming about. Maybe the other locations are more impressive.

I hadn't dined at Noodles and Company in well over a year, possibly 2 years, so I was excited to dine at what was one of my favorite restaurants in undergrad. The customers service was great! The girl that took my order answered my questions and gave me a few recommendations too. After I placed my order, I went over to get my silverware and had to grab 3 forks before I found a clean one. After finding a clean fork, I snagged a seat and my food came out shortly after. The Buffalo Mac and Cheese bowl itself was good, but I was underwhelmed by the portion of chicken. I ordered a large bowl, and there wasn't nearly enough chicken to go with Mac and Cheese. I ended up eating about half of the noodles and tossed the rest. I, personally, won't back for a while, but its definitely a solid option if you're trying to grab something that is reasonably priced and fast.

    This Noodles & Company location is so bad they basically said, "We messed up your food -- let USPS…read morefinish the job." I ordered shrimp scampi and a garden salad. They handed me some soggily breaded chicken sitting on top of macaroni with cheese like it was a last‑minute science project. Not even close to what I ordered. Not even in the same ZIP code. I called, and of course they already knew the orders were mixed up because the person who got my shrimp scampi had already called. So everyone's dinner was wrong. It was a whole community swap‑meet of disappointment. Their solution? Not to fix it. Not to refund it. Not to remake it. They offered to MAIL me coupons. MAIL. As in: "We can't get your food right, but trust us with your address and a stamp." Suddenly my dinner became a USPS group assignment. I live 30+ minutes away, it was almost 10 PM, and now apparently my shrimp scampi is on a 3-5 business day delivery timeline. If you want the food you actually ordered, skip this place. Unless you're excited to let the post office finish your meal.
