“Good vibes, yummy food, free smells. we had the noodles, we had the rice, we enjoyed it all”

“Great food and service! The shrimp noodle and green curry is very good. Nice and clean eating experience. I love how much veggies they have for the dish, very nice”

“Very good food and fair prices. You get pretty large portions as well. Their curry fried rice lasted me a whole other meal as left overs.”

“This is a pretty nice spot to grab some light brunch. My favorite was the pork Shumai, it was light and flavorful. A lot of the foods are on the sweeter side but I would come back again to try some other dishes.”
“Love getting Ben's take out and always friendly service. There are couple tables inside too for a bite”
“Great food at affordable price! I loved their fresh spring rolls and pad Thai.”
“This is our favorite take out spot in chicago: hands down. I am never more comforted than when I get the greenncurry and tom kha kai soup. My partner gets so excited when he sees we got Ben's for take out and he gets to eat the best pad won soon.”
“The Panang curry was excellent. The pad Komao was also so good. Slightly smoky flavor.”
“I've been going to Ben's Noodles for about 18 years. It's a good hr or so drive from me, but it's worth the trip. The woman who used to work here taught my son how to use chops sticks from a very young age and now, almost 18, he knows how to use them so easily. Best thai food, hands down!”
