Cozy Noodles Rice - Evanston

I really enjoy the food at this restaurant, especially my favorite dish: Spicy Basil Leaves with chicken. I usually have it for lunch, and it comes with a choice of salad or baby egg rolls. I always opt for the crispy egg rolls, which are served warm with a delicious sweet sauce. The decor is lively and there is usually convenient parking nearby. The only downside is that they automatically include gratuity in the bill without informing customers, leading some to unintentionally tip twice. Despite this, I am excited to try more dishes on their menu in the future.

An authentic 5-star dining experience. Having lived in Roger’s Park for 1.5 years, we regularly order Thai Chinese Asian cuisine. After trying numerous restaurants, this one stood out above the rest. The food was incredible – from the rice dish to the curry dish to the noodle dish, each became a new favorite. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant's ambiance was truly unique and impeccably clean, reminiscent of a clever museum store. Stringent sanitation measures were in place. When one item was incorrect, they replaced it promptly without any fuss. Note: a service charge, listed as gratuity, is automatically added to your bill for dine-in customers.

This is a great place that I frequent often. The decor is really unique with various items displayed on the walls, creating a cozy atmosphere. The service is decent and the food is generally excellent, although some dishes are better than others. Keep in mind that this restaurant does not serve alcohol, so you'll need to bring your own if you want to enjoy a drink with your meal (BYOB).

Do NOT come to this restaurant! The reviews here about scamming customers for tips are true!!! They wont give you and itemized bill at check out, and the lady will verbally give you the total. When i asked for an itemized bill, it showed the individual menu items’ prices which did NOT add up to the total she gave me.On top of that, she asked for more tips! When i said that tips looks like they are included already, she asked me TWICE to give her tips when i explained that the gratuity is clearly included. Do NOT recommend this restaurant at all.

I never write a review but this one I had to. Please make sure you check your bill because she will just say the total but you will never know that the total she quote is with 20% tip already added. This is like scamming people. They know people don't usually pay attention to the price of food so people usually think that is their total and because there is a space for tip, people wite extra tip without knowing they are paying 35 to 40% tip.The server (probably the owner) is extremely rude and everytime you ask for something like a straw she would sigh and give you a look.Bad bad service. However the gentleman was totally different from the lady. He was really nice and we went and asked him for something because the lady was so rude and my kids were scared to ask.I really don't get it. You are in business and we are the customers who keep your business going so why are you treating your customer with such a bad attitude. I will never never go back to that place.I am going to call the city to report them.
