Here’s the top 10 breakdown: 

Laschet’s Inn Restaurant

  • German, Pubs
  • 231 Reviews
  • 4.5 Stars
  • “I realize I may be pretty liberal with my 5 star reviews, but Laschet's Inn is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants, EVER! I've been coming here for almost 5 years, as long as I've lived in Chicago, and my best friend and I discovered it on google. We've been coming back ever since.” 

Royal Thai Restaurant

  • Thai
  • 160 Reviews
  • 4.5 Stars
  • “This is my favorite Thai place in the city! All of their food is excellent and the prices are decent. Their Pad Thai and Crunchy Pad See Ew are THE BEST! Their crab rangoons are also delicious, as well as the Thai Iced Tea. Please go check this place out, it is fantastical!”

90 Miles Cuban Café

  • Cuban, Sandwiches
  • 491 Reviews
  • 4 Stars
  • “Awesome. Love the ambience. Service was on point. And the food was quickly prepared and excellent! Parking is at a premium near this location, but can be found. We live in Orlando and have access to Cuban food daily.  I was very pleased that 90 Miles tasted and looked the same, if not better, than some of the food I've had in Miami.”  

Tony’s Burrito Mex

  • Mexican
  • 180 Reviews
  • 4.5 Stars
  • “Don't be dissuaded by the somewhat rundown exterior. This is the most affordable, authentic Mexican place you'll find in an otherwise overpriced, yuppie area.

Sticky Rice

  • Thai
  • 485 Reviews
  • 4 Stars
  • “My recommendation: go with a small group of people who like to eat and try new things, and share everything. I don't recommend going here if you want pad Thai or pad woon sen; branch out and try some of the Northern Thai dishes. You'll be glad you did.”

Victory’s Banner

  • Vegetarian, Breakfast & Brunch
  • 331 reviews
  • 4 Stars
  • “One of my go to breakfast spots in Chicago. Very relaxed atmosphere with a low noise level. While this is not a place to go in large groups, it's a perfect spot for a catch up with one or two friends. “ 

Sola

  • American, Hawaiian, Asian Fusion
  • 636 Reviews
  • 4 Stars
  • “How do they do that?? I would say they're a must-try. They served em with a delicious truffle aioli. Also, get the truffle parmesan fries, unbelievably tasty!! Me and the hubby were here on our date night and enjoyed the food and service incredibly.”

Wasabi Café

  • Japanese
  • 82 Reviews
  • 4 Stars
  • “I have eaten at a few different all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in Chicago (Sushi Para, House of Sushi &  Noodles) and Wasabi Cafe is by far the best. When you go to sushi buffet you have to calibrate your expectations and realize the sushi will not be top tier. Wasabi Cafe's sushi is fresh, creative and delicious. “

Namo Thai Cuisine

  • Thai, Asian Fusion
  • 50 Reviews
  • 4.5 Stars
  • “Namo is what I'd explain as a more upscale Thai place, but without the higher prices. It's certainly nicer - love the decor, and great date setting. Plus it's BYOB, and everyone is really nice.”

Melao Latin Cuisine

  • Latin American
  • 24 Reviews
  • 4.5 Stars
  • “Empanadas! Empanadas! Empanadas! What else can I say. This place is great. Service, great food, wonderful presentation! But seriously let's get down to the food. Empanadas are fresh, handmade bundles of goodness holy lord!”
