“We had Pad Thai with shrimp, Thai iced tea, Chicken Curry Noodles and the beef crispy rolls appetizer (kind of like beef-filled crunchy cigarillos with a slightly sweet sauce”
We went early, but after 6:30 pm it can get busy.
One of the best dining experiences around campus. The dishes are ABSOLUTELY amazing. 👍👍👍.
Their noodle dishes are great. It’s one of my favorites for takeout!
Honestly great prices and speedy service. Probably cheapest dishes in the area.
The food is always gonna be good.. the portion sizes have gotten smaller.
My food order was wrong and requested my order to be fixed .The older Thai/Chinese woman yelled at me , she didn’t try to help to told me I was wrong for ordering my food .
every single time i order the chicken pad thai on uber eats, they ALWAYS give me the wrong sauce.

“Honestly great prices and speedy service.”
Honestly great prices and speedy service. Probably cheapest dishes in the area. But regarding the portion sizes, they do give sizes randomly, so you could order three of the same things and one will be double the size of the other. Personally, I don't mind this, and I think there's a nice variety of options, but keep it in mind.

“The fried tofu and beef salad are amazing.”
The fried tofu and beef salad are amazing. Ramen and pho are okay. All attendants are very friendly and helpful.

“I had the Green Curry and dined in my first time here.”
I had the Green Curry and dined in my first time here. The dish was good, the staff was friendly and attentive, and I enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere in the restaurant. I thought the prices were decent, not too expensive. I came back here a second time to get a Pad Thai but had to do a takeout because it was slightly past 7:30pm. The Pad Thai was decent, but I've had better at other Thai restaurants. I felt like there were not enough sauces used in the cooking and it lacked chilli and spice overall. That said, I wouldn't mind coming back here again to try other dishes on the menu.

“First time there and I loved watching what everyone ordered.”
First time there and I loved watching what everyone ordered. Loved what I had as well. It was fresh and everything blended. I had the chow mein noodle.

“I was looking for a cheap place to eat by myself before a meeting, and this place exceeded my expectations.”
I was looking for a cheap place to eat by myself before a meeting, and this place exceeded my expectations! Loved the tofu pad thai and although it was a big serving, I finished it all! The food was out of the kitchen super fast--only about 5 minutes! I assume for bigger parties it may take longer, but still, I was impressed! I will definitely be coming back!

“Compared to some fancy restaurants with 5-hour lineups, this place has better flavors and way faster serving speed.”
Compared to some fancy restaurants with 5-hour lineups, this place has better flavors and way faster serving speed. The internal design and music are very cozy. They haven’t raised their prices that much at all since two years ago, but it’s the same food of great quality and taste <3

“My family and I tried our first time at Noodles Etc and it was great.”
My family and I tried our first time at Noodles Etc and it was great! •Pictured fist is the Lo Mein with chicken added. It was so yummy and the sauce was very tasty. I like thinner noodles so this was right up my alley •Pictured second is the Pho. It was so full of flavor and plenty of portion •Pictured last is the Yaki Udon. These were a thicker more chewy noodle. This was very filling and packed with flavor. I recommend trying them out! They’re so good and the ambiance is low key. You order your meal at the front and they bring it to you at the table if you’re dining in. Hope you enjoy

“This is a quaint little place, nestled in the Hyde Park community of Chicago, IL.”
This is a quaint little place, nestled in the Hyde Park community of Chicago, IL. This was my first time visiting. I stumbled upon them from a Google search and I was happy I decided to give this restaurant a try. I enjoyed their steamed Chicken Gyoza and Pad Woon Sen with Chicken. Both dishes were delicious! During my second visit, on 12/15/2021, I enjoyed the same food as before plus the Tom Kha Kai soup.

“One of the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had.”
One of the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had! Went here so much when I was a student and it holds a special place in my heart. Recommend the noodle stir fries, the curry noodle, and the gyoza appetizer. They had a 10% student discount but I’m unsure if they still have it!

Tried Pad See-ew, Drunken Noodle, and Green Curry, and they were all delicious. My friends and I preferred Pad See-eu to Drunken Noodle. Fast service, reasonably priced.

“Was my first time there with a friend who comes regularly.”
Was my first time there with a friend who comes regularly. The pot stickers were great. The noodles were delicious but need a bit more flavor. Lemonade delicious but a little too sweet. Tofu tastes great, because usually I don’t like it. The waitress was very nice and showed great customer service
