We have been here twice in the past few months…read more The first time, we ordered an already curated bowl. It had chicken and corn and some other things. Since it was our first time, we weren't really sure how or what to order so that's what we went with. The second time, we each made our own bowls. After we sat down, we tried what everyone ordered. Everything was very good. Bowl building seems to be the in thing right now with BIBIBOP and Cava and Naf Naf. I'm here for it. I also love the complementary miso soup... it's really good. I ordered a small bowl, I wanted a kids bowl but he said they were for kids. The tables were a little sticky as was the drink area but nothing a wet napkin couldn't fix.

The fried tofu, fried rice and noodle dishes would highly recommend. They are our staple dishes. The industrial decor with open ceilings make the space appear open and spacious. However, it creates a space where the noise fills the room. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely bustling and gives a lively feel while dining. Staff were friendly. The wait staff seemed very busy managing tables. Service wasn't slow, but definitely felt their restaurant is always at capacity which is a good problem to have! But just expect to have a wait while there.

The Din Tai Fung of Illinois is finally here!…read more My family and I have been chasing the high of Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings for years, but there has always seemed to be an absence of restaurants like this in the Midwest. Thankfully, Phat Phat stepped in to fill that gap. We drove 30 miles for a late lunch around 2:30 p.m. to hopefully beat the crowds. There's a huge parking lot in the back, the building itself is incredibly unique, and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It feels modern while still being warm and inviting. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered two baskets of the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, the Enoki Mushroom appetizer, Chicken Fried Rice, Phat Phat Chicken, Nasi Campur, and finished the meal with the Mango Sago. Everything was incredible. The soup dumplings definitely filled the void that Din Tai Fung left behind. Every dish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The Mango Sago was the perfect palate cleanser and a refreshing way to end the meal on a hot summer day. The standout for me was the Enoki Mushroom appetizer. That will be a must-order every time we come back. We also have Indonesian family and have visited Bali, so we were excited to try the Nasi Campur. It was spot on. The satay is another must-order in my opinion. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and the rest of the staff were just as welcoming and pleasant. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we'll absolutely be back.

We came all the way from Peoria!! Unfortunately, this time it did not shine as bright as it did last week. Different cook? different time of day? I don't know, however it was still good just not as amazing as the first time. However, we will definitely be back when in this area. The ONLY other thing I would add is instead of mainstream anglo music, I'd prefer some Kpop. I mean keep with the Korean vibe. How about some BTS to enjoy this good food with??!

The fried wonton was actually really good this well. I would keep coming back to this place for the wonton soup but if I'm going to be with a group I would try other dishes because I saw other people ordering them and they look good. Service was great parking is not an issue it's in the plaza and check them out. Definitely coming back for sure Happy eating!

I SAW A MOUSE CRAWLING INSIDE THIS RESTAURANT! AFTER ALREADY SEEING A ROACH IN THE BATHROOM…read more I dined here on 8/7 and was seated near the bathroom/hallway leading toward the kitchen. I first saw what appeared to be a roach in the bathroom and tried to brush it off. Then I saw a MOUSE crawling inside the restaurant. My food had just arrived, I took one bite, and immediately lost my appetite, not to mention ton the food looked like it was a dollar store microwaveable dinner! There were also mops and piles of clothing/belongings sitting in the hallway near the kitchen area, which only added to my concerns about cleanliness. What made it worse was the response. There was no manager available, staff acted like I was making the mouse up, refused to take my concern seriously, and still made me pay for food I couldn't stomach eating after what I witnessed. Seeing both a roach and a mouse during ONE visit is enough for me. I have filed a formal health department complaint requesting an inspection. I would absolutely not eat here again.

Placed an order from work ahead of time but asked if could pick up 40 minutes later when I got off…read morework, they said that would be fine. When I arrived the girl at the front was pretty unfriendly and not welcoming at all. The food was actually quite awful, cold and greasy and the absolute worst crab Rangoon I have ever had. From the temperature I am guessing they made my food as soon as I ordered and had been sitting there for 40 minutes. The portion of pad Thai was tiny for the price. Terrible service and experience and will never be coming back again.

In fact, this is the best beef we've ever had at a Thai restaurant. I only marked down one star because of the portion sizes. At other Thai restaurants we've received larger portions of each dish for similar prices. Regardless the meal was filling and fulfilling and we would definitely return! We ordered takeout so can't comment on service or ambiance but our meal was ready for pick up pretty quickly!

The egg rolls and fried rice were outstanding! Sweet and sour sauce was not good and was very hard to get out of the container they put it in. The general tsos chicken was very dry (lots of breading with dried out chicken) and the pad Thai had almost no sauce and the noodles were oily. Both looked great but didn't deliver on the taste I'd go back to give them one more try but wasn't impressed during this visit.

I enjoyed a business lunch here at MingHin on a Monday (so glad they were open today, as several of…read moremy favorite Asian restaurants are closed Mondays). For starters, hot tea and sticky rice. My favorites were the shrimp dumplings and crispy shrimp rolls, but I also love a good greens in oyster sauce dish. Ordering is easy from a tablet or off the menu but unfortunately a couple things we wanted to order from the menu were no longer available. The steam baskets were removed from our table pretty quickly after they were emptied. Plenty of parking here and the restaurant wasn't too crowded yet, early on a Monday. I appreciated the sturdy chopsticks for use as well as a fork as needed, but a knife would be helpful too, for the crispy greens. I would like to return for dinner sometime and try more dim sum choices. This is a great place to go for a meeting, date night, or with a group.

I recently learned that they used premade dim-sum from the factory. Yes, A FACTORY. What they did…read morewas to preheat and serve. The servant told me about it when I mentioned to him how bad the food taste, as reminder for them to improve. I was shocked by how dumb he is to tell me the truth. Try to defend themselves? Made-by-factory does not mean it's fresh! My mouth still have this awful taste after a day. The dish I ordered is called fried sticky rice. It's supposed to be cooked from scratch. This is absolutely cheating. I have been going to this restaurant for years. Even I had been disapointed in the past, I still kept going as it's the only dim-sum place in my area. The food quality has been deteriorating over years to the point I feel that's enough. I will not go again. Some of my friends have stopped going for a while As a Cantonese who grew up with dim-sum every weekend, I do not recommend this place! This is just gross.

Menus arrived as we were seated, water arrived shortly after, but no greeting, no server, nothing. Another couple came in after us, got seated, greeted, ordered, and were eating while we still sat completely unacknowledged. After 15 minutes we told the host we were giving up. She looked surprised we hadn't been helped, even though our table was less than 15 feet from the host stand and directly in her line of sight. Most of the time she was lingering near the bar chatting with other employees. No apology -- just 'I'll get a manager.' Several minutes later the manager arrived. We explained what happened, but again no apology, no offer to fix it, no 'please stay, we'll take care of you.' Just 'that shouldn't have happened' and she'd talk to her staff. That's the corporate version of shrugging. We'd trekked a long way from the city only to be let down by basic service not happening at all. This is the kind of failure people don't expect from a group as large and well‑trained as Lettuce, and at this point I'm wondering if I should lower my expectations.

For starters, the vibe feels casual and relaxed here and the drinks are expertly shaken and potent. Our server was wonderfully attentive, helpful and fun, despite being the bar tender that night too. I had the rangoon roll and teriyaki pork tacos. Everything tasted great; perfect presentation, temperatures, and spices to make this a meal worth returning for. I have tried the filet mignon hot rock in the past and it is a fun app to try, at least once. Our only complaint is the walk (Or elevator ride) upstairs to the restrooms. I wish there was one on the first floor. (Admittedly, it is not as easy to navigate after 2 martinis) ha! I will be back for Happy Hour some time, from 3 to 5.
