A Thousand Tales is a wonderful dining experience. The space is much larger than I expected, with a…read moremain dining room, an attached bakery cafe and what looks like a banquet room in back. Located in a strip mall, there is ample free parking. Staff is unassuming, professional and helpful, willing to help with any menu questions. We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday and it was an excellent choice. The menu has a lot of clean eating options, including vegetarian and keto. We opted to share a lamb pizza, a tomato and cucumber salad and a meat tray. All were excellent, plenty of food. The pita was excellent. The tea at the end was lovely. Prices reasonable, good food good portions. Absolutely worth checking out and adding into the rotation of where to go.

I had a very disappointing experience ordering from Thousand Tales Bakery through their app…read more When I placed my order, the estimated delivery time was about one hour. After waiting more than 1.5 hours, I called to check the status and found out that my order had not even been prepared. I don't know who I spoke with on the phone, but instead of helping resolve the issue, I was told that I could simply cancel my order. What frustrated me most was the explanation I received: "Sorry, this app doesn't work well." The representative showed little interest in solving the problem. Apparently, the app worked perfectly when it charged my credit card, but when it came to processing and delivering my order, suddenly the app was the issue. Delays can happen, but customers should be informed instead of being left waiting with no updates. I still didn't receive my order after two hours. The customer service was awful, and the lack of communication made the situation even more frustrating. This used to be one of my favorite places, but unfortunately, the quality of service seems to be getting worse.

I ordered food from this place--mala spicy ramen. The food arrived very nicely packaged; honestly,…read moreI've never received a delivery in such a nice bag. However, as a big ramen lover, I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed with the ramen. It was a bit greasier than others I've tried, and I think the cilantro gave it an off-putting flavor. I will definitely give this place another chance, but I'll try something other than ramen next time.

We finally made it to Taichi Bubble Tea in Mount Prospect, and it absolutely lived up to everything…read morewe expected. We had actually ordered through DoorDash before and loved it so much that we had to experience it in person and I'm so glad we did. There's tons of parking, plenty of interior seating, and the whole place is super clean and welcoming. You order through the Kiosk. We ordered ramen and the Pokémazing bowl both were fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect spicy kick. Truly delicious and fresh. My 4-year-old daughter got the burrito and devoured it, which says a lot! The boba was delicious as well. The most fun part? Depending on how much you spend, they give you tokens for their prize machines. My daughter won FOUR stuffed animal she was over the moon! Such a fun and unexpected bonus that made the whole experience even more memorable. Friendly staff, amazing food, fun atmosphere we will absolutely be back and highly recommend it!

It was on a Thursday night, the restaurant was quite busy. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. She was able to show us to table since there were only two of us. There's a decent selection of wines. The menu has a nice collection of classics. We ordered Gnocchi Norcina - first time trying this version of gnocchi, it was soft and pillowy! The sauce paired very well, and protein was chicken. For the GF, we ordered scalloppine (veal) - the meat was thinly pounded and served with creamy sauce. The portion was very generous! We have left over for lunch next day.

I decided to try something different for breakfast, and this fit the bill. I opted for the Turkish breakfast, and it was delicious, featuring scrambled eggs, salad, Turkish sausage, cheese, olives, and toast with honey butter. Now THAT was definitely a break from my normal diner fare. Although I never make tea at home, I decided to try their Peach tea. Wow! Next time, I'll bring my family to share this tea with. The interior was clean and unique, the service friendly and professional. The menu surprised me. It's very eclectic between their breakfast and lunch offerings. I highly recommend, and I will eat here again.

We saw Moqa on the way home from a Turkish restaurant nearby. We looked it up and discovered it was…read morea halal restaurant, and not just a coffee shop, so we shortlisted it for another day. It has a pretty mixed menu, from salads to bowls to pizza. They also have a nice menu of coffee drinks and mocktails. They even have all-day breakfast. There is a decent amount of parking. The interior is big enough, but it was packed when we went even though it was 3 PM. The overall design and decor were really nice. I would describe the restaurant as something in between fast casual and nice sit-down. We ordered a Seoul flame bowl w/ chicken, creamy steak bucatini, and iced latte w/ tiramisu, and a small cappuccino. The Seoul flame bowl was excellent. The rice was cooked nicely, there were some veggies, and a lot of egg. It was somewhat sparse on chicken, but there was enough protein thanks to the egg. The menu had a spice symbol, but it wasn't spicy. My wife enjoyed the stead bucatini, but said it could have used more parmesan. The steak was cooked nicely and was tender and tasty. The pesto was a nice touch. She also enjoyed the iced latte and found that it wasn't overly sweet. The cappuccino was great and they did a nice job with the foam and art. Service was decent. Pricing for the food dishes was on the higher side ($19 for the bowl and $33 for the steak), but the coffee was priced reasonably.

We had boorsok for our appetizer, fried dough bites that reminded me of funnel cake without sugar, and there were a lot! I had the strawberry mojito drink, and it was fantastic, really tasting of fresh fruit with many mint leaves inside. The khachapuri was extraordinary. They do imeruli style, round and similar to a pizza, the crust beautifully blistered and the cheese thick with a wonderful pull. One of my friends hadn't had khachapuri before and is now a convert. We also had boso lagman, with hand-pulled noodles and beef, and big manty dumplings with flavorful meatballs inside. I requested we get a slice of honey cake, too, and that was a perfect finish to the meal. Sweet but not overkill, and really tasted like honey, graham crackers, and cream. I'm not sure when I will possibly be in this area again, but wow, I would come here again.

The decor offered great ambiance! In order to try a couple of items my sister and I decided to split the laghman and eggplant salad. The laghman was excellent with fresh hand-pulled noodles. I appreciated that they split the dish in the kitchen for us. The eggplant salad was a good portion to supplement the noodles. But points of caution that they are fried and have an almost sweet and sour sauce on top which for me was a little heavy. Overall quick and efficient service for a sit down lunch during the work week. They also appeared to have an extensive drink menu of different lemonade and coffee that I would be interested to try next time.

For almost $12, I also expected it to be a bit bigger in size. I will say, the steak itself had a really nice char flavor that I enjoyed.

Overall, it wasn't terrible, but for the portion size and price, I don't think I'd personally return.
