"This is a lovely old world Italian restaurant that reminds of another time. It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate on his own initiative. We will come back in any case."

"The waiter Mike was awesome. The bartenders were super quick with our drinks when we first got there. The hostess was sweet. So service was stars. My boyfriend said the bread was fantastic. We had the Valentineâs Day pre fix menu. I had the char broiled oysters which were good but a little too salty. My bf had the seared tuna salad which he said was good. For dinner I had the beef oso bucco with saffron risotto. I liked the beef not the risotto. He had the duck and again said it was good. Brownie dessert and poached pear dessert were just ok. The tables were a little too close for my taste. It was like we were eating with the people next to us. Finally the noise level was high. There was a large table next to us that was extremely loud and absolutely had too much to drink. I had to scream at my bf at one point for him to even hear me. That wasnât enjoyable. Itâs not the restaurantâs fault I guess but it wasnât an easy relaxed dining experience. I might go back but Iâm not really sold on this place."

"The service was okay at first but the waitress looked as if she wanted us to leave already. We hadn 't even been inside for an hour. She came over and asked if everything was okay and we said yes and then asked if we wanted to go boxes which we responded no to and she proceeds to take ALL of our food away and stack the plates on top of each other THEN asks if we were done. We said yeah after all the plates being stacked because who would want to eat the food after that? Then we were enjoying our drinks and she came with the check and we paid in card and left $0 on the tip line because we were going to leave the tip in cash. She looked at the check and goes you 're not leaving tip? and we go yes we are but in cash and she nods and walks off. We finished our drinks and left the tip under the glass and she comes rushing from the back and yells where 's my tip! and once she saw it was under the glass she calms down and we just leave. I cannot believe the kind of service we received tonight. It was horrendous."

"I ordered the Broccoli with Basil Brown Sauce and Brown Rice, along with the Tofu Salad Lunch Special, and I must say it was some of the best food I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, high-quality, delicious, and expertly prepared. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more to the salad, but overall, you can’t go wrong with this place. I highly recommend it—10/10. Additionally, their website offers convenient cash delivery ordering."

"The other day, I ordered from this place, and wow it is fantastic. I ordered the katsu lunch and crispy beef lunch specials. Overall: The food itself is delicious. It won 't blow your mind, but you 'll enjoy it. The value for its price is what makes this 5 stars for me. I will order from here again 100%.Katsu lunch special $10.50) Perfectly adequateThe katsu wasn 't dry, and wasn 't soggy either. I do wish it was still crispy, but that 's what you get when you order delivery.Not sure what the dressing was for the salad. It didn 't seem like a Thousand Island or French dressing, but it was really good! The katsu sauce was very vinegary, so I appreciate that it wasn 't poured on the katsu, and had its own separate container. This way, you can have as much/as little sauce as you want. There was a lemon wedge, which wasn 't necessary in my opinion, but it did make it look more complete with it, and some people prefer that over the sauce anyway.Crispy beef lunch special $11.00) Tasty and deliciousBoy, I love meat. I wondered what made the beef crispy, and it turns out it 's because it was fried and sauced. I got the soup, which was okay. If I 'm eating it immediately, I 'd probably prefer the salad.The soup was your typical miso soup with the little tofu cubes and some scallion. It was okay. I think it was fine to have with the beef.The beef was really tasty. The sauce was a little sweet, sour, and spicy pleasant level). The meat texture felt more like pork to me, but maybe this is how beef is when it 's fried. The vegetables with the beef help make it feel not as heavy."

"As someone with celiac disease, I've really missed my favorite Chinese-American dishes since my diagnosis. But Lilli&Loo offers a fully gluten-free menu featuring all the classics! We tried the spare ribs, dumplings, lo mein, house special fried rice, and sesame chicken, and everything was excellent. I didn’t experience any symptoms, which means they’re truly doing it right! For the first time since I went gluten-free, I felt like I wasn’t settling for less due to my dietary restrictions. This is top-notch, delicious Chinese food, and I’m so grateful it's available!"

"One of the comments in the reviews mentioned this place is a hidden gem and I 100% AGREE! It was my first time visiting this place and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the people, the music, the food, and for sure the drinks! Make sure to make reservations ahead of time if you want a table because they do get fully booked. We didn’t have reservations but got super lucky someone canceled. If you can’t get reservations, they do have a bar you can try and get seats at but its first come first serve and when we were there a lot of people were standing by the bar. They have a small food menu, but it was honestly perfect for us we ordered the coconut shrimp, steak skewers, and the crab Rangoon. Everything was super delicious! For drinks I ordered the pain killer and the space force pilot both drinks were really good, and I love how the cocktails have a theme and are beautifully decorated. If you are visiting Chicago this place is a MUST!"

"Menu has no details on the dishes, when asked waiter for details, she simply said she would give us more time to decide perhaps language issue? Food was good and reasonably priced but the experience with the waiter made the experience frustrating and I will not be returning"

"We were surprised that Le Colonial was virtually empty on a Friday night. There were only 3 tables occupied inside and 2 or 3 outside. Our server was very helpful, pleasant, friendly and just lovely. My husband and I shared the Imperial Crab Rolls as our appetizer. They were very good but messy to eat. For my main course, I had the Papaya Salad with Shrimp....no Calamari. It was okay but not great and I would not order it again. My husband had a beef dish for his main dish and he said it was tasty. For dessert we each had a scoop of ice cream which is served over fresh fruit. We both said that the dessert was the best part of the meal. The restaurant is SO dark that I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and I could hardly see my food when I was eating. Why are restaurants kept dark? That detracts from the experience."

"We were disappointed with our overall experience at this restaurant. The service was extremely slow, despite there being few customers when we arrived. We waited at our table for about 20 minutes before our orders were taken, and it took another 20 minutes for our appetizers to arrive. It took a total of an hour from being seated for our entrees to finally appear. Although the staff apologized for the delay, it was not enough to make up for the wait. It seemed like the restaurant was more focused on their takeout orders than the patrons dining in. When the food did arrive, the portion sizes were inconsistent and some of the entrees tasted burnt. Additionally, we were surprised to learn that the restaurant only accepted cash, which we had not realized when making our reservation. This may not be an issue for some, but it is something future diners should be aware of."
"Went to Nikko restaurant with my family twice. The service was excellent. The food sushi, General Tso's Chicken, Schezuan Beef, soup, deserts, drinks were excellent as well. I love the ambiance, the lighting was perfect. Only thing is that people at the bar and hibachi area can get loud and annoying but have some warm sake and you will fit right in. I really like this place since Hunan Balcony and our other favorite restaurant China Fun closed, this is definitely my family's new favorite restaurant.This is an Update: July 9th 2023 My family and I have ordered Nikko for delivery through UberEats several times but today my family member ordered two different dinners soups and salads including an appetizer crab Shumai. Food seemed a bit unorganized and shuffled in the bag but bag was stapled as usual, everything was spilled and leaking that was unusual generally when when we received an order every thing is organized and no soups leaking. Upon eating two bites of the shrimp and broccoli and General Tso's and crab Shumai. I immediately threw up, this food was completely rotten and had a chemically taste. I cannot believe we ate some of this rotten food, everything had to be thrown out immediately after consuming a bit of the food we all became ill from the chemically taste and realized the putrid smells fumigating from the bag it was delivered in this is definitely a food safety issue and I hope the food inspectors will investigate thier kitchen and cooks Unfortunately we will not be ordering again. I hope this restaurant will realize just how fast they can lose great customers by not checking the quality of the food they send out to their loyal customers. I'm very disappointed in this place as we have been ordering here for a while now. But fortunately for us there are many other great Chinese/Thai restaurants who have better quality control and will not deliver rotten/chemically tasting food to their customers."

"The restaurant offered only a few gluten-free options, and our waitress appeared to be unsure about what was gluten-free. On the positive side, the drinks were delicious, and the sushi was quite good. I appreciated the special they had on sushi rolls, which was a nice added touch. I think the restaurant could improve by providing better training for the staff on gluten-free dietary needs and by offering a clear gluten-free menu. The atmosphere was also enjoyable for the location."

"Another dish I love indulging in is the Roasted Bone Marrow. I can easily finish this by myself, which sometimes makes me feel a little guilty. You can choose between baguette or noodles, and I always go for the baguette. It arrives sliced and toasted with garlic butter on top. When I run out of baguette, I toast my own bread—I often find myself devouring it without even realizing! For the Chicken Wontons, I usually pop them in the air fryer to reheat and make them crispy again when I order them to go. They’re flavorful and delicious after reheating! I’ve also tried items from the Mignon Kids menu for my children, and they’ve enjoyed everything. The portion sizes are great, coming with a side of vegetables, and the pricing is reasonable. They usually choose the rice plate option, alternating between chicken and pork. Overall, I will continue ordering from this establishment. The food is consistently high quality, the prices are good, and the takeout experience is reliable."

"Sri Lanka Thai is a lovely Thai restaurant with a homemade touch. We have visited a few times and each time the food has been delicious. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated promptly. The staff sanitizes the tables between guests. We ordered spicy noodles and panang curry with tofu tod. The food was delicious and well balanced. We asked for a bit of extra spice and it was just right. They allow you to bring your own alcohol and also offer soft drinks. The staff is friendly and willing to accommodate any special requests."

"I ordered the Mongolian Beef, and it was delicious with an amazing sauce. I also tried the mango bubble tea, which was alright, but the bubbles didn’t have a mango flavor. I've had bubble teas before where the pearls were flavored. My friend ordered an iced Thai tea, but she wasn't a fan of its taste. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet and not crowded at all. It seems to cater more to takeout than dining in. Overall, I enjoyed the entree."

"We stopped in and Ordered Thai to go for dinner for our group four adults with one two year old. We ordered the pad Thai with chicken, red curry with chicken and drunken noodles with chicken. We asked for extra hot sauce since some of us like the heat. The food as ready quickly and packaged for easy transporting as we were walking. The food was all hot and had a mild spice level. The chicken curry came with rice, and had peppers and onions with the chicken in the red curry sauce. The pad Thai was a favorite for the young one the noodles were cooked perfectly and had a nice mild peanut sauce. We were told the drunken noodles would be very spicy but found them to be moderately spicy and added the extra hot sauce to give it heat. All meals were generous portions and we had plenty for lunch the next day. The service was very good and the price was reasonable."
