1. El Faro Restaurant
Chicago, IL 60623

Categories:
Mexican,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Little Village
Still the best on Earth.
My Dad took me here on Sunday after we rocked our Amazing Race season six tryouts (can I name drop this anymore?). We got 2 each of the soy carne asada, soy pollo, soy pastor, and soy chorizo (all vegan), and a Torta Veggie…More »

THE MOST VEGETARIAN TRUE MEXICAN RESTAURANT AROUND!!!
This place is amazing. If you don't believe me,… Read more »
2. The Chicago Diner

(773) 935-6696
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Lakeview
BAM!!! 5 stars, done and done.
This is probably the most amazing place ever to have been planted on Planet Earth. It's all vegetarian/vegan food but not like what you bloodsucking meat eaters are thinking... no, it's not all salads and veggie plates,…More »
3. Pizza Fusion - CLOSED
STILL 5 STARS!
Maybe this is my favorite place... my BF and I went here for Earth Day (I really wanted to win a wind turbine!) which was on a Wednesday and Wednesday at Pizza Fusion means 1/2 price bottles of wine! PHWOOSH! That was the sound of my…More »

4. Borrowed Earth Café
Fantasmo BoBazmo.
I could prob end this review right here but I'll go on because I see that a few folks didn't give it favorable reviews... Warning: if you've ever been to McDonald's and have uttered the words "super-size me", this may not be what…More »
5. Thipi Thai
This is by far the absolute BEST Thai food your tongue will lay its buds on. I started eating there a little less than a year ago when my boyfriend and I were driving by and their sign caught my attention with its elephant picture; I went back a week…More »
6. Cida Thai Restaurant
OOOH... a new high point for my belly.
First of all, it's BYOB and in the burbs- a rare commodity that's deserving of 5 stars.
The food does not disappoint. To start I got the vegetarian style Tom Yum soup with tofu and it was the absolute best Tom…More »
7. Neehee's Indian Street Food
4.5 hours of driving across 2 states and 282 miles later, I can finally cross eating the ice cream at Neehee's off my bucket list... and I'm happy to announce that Neehee's is still standing strong with 5 sexy (not to mention spicy) stars.
And just…More »

8. Trader Joe's
Honestly, the friendliest place on Earth... it might even beat Disney for the happiest.
I love my Whole foods and there are some specialty things that you just need to go to WF for but Trader Joe's just really takes the cake. I've been to many, many,…More »
9. Whole Foods Market
Love it! Can't always afford it, but still heart it.
The produce is sooo fresh and the place is remarkably clean yet still manages to seem home-y and warm,not sterile and cold.
The people there are attractive and supremely friendly. Oh, I mustn't…More »
10. Letizia's Natural Bakery
Chicago, IL 60622
(773) 342-1011
My place of work recently moved but this was THE place before the move.
Sooo amazing. My friend and I would buy sugar cookies by the dozen just for ourselves. The pizzas and paninis take a bit but are so well worth the wait.
Also, the star here is…More »

This place is Bananas!!!
I had to. I will try to refrain from using more Rachel Zoe/Gwen Stefani talk talk.
The absolute, hands down, BEST hangover food EVER! Well, not just hangover, but any day or night of the week food.
It will ALWAYS be packed…More »
12. Mount Everest Restaurant
My main man and I ate here on a cold, wintery, Saturday night and it was just what we needed to nourish up after a long day of traveling, shopping, and shivering.
The wait was minimal and the place was a great little romantic surprise. They have a…More »
13. Yum Thai Restaurant
The best draw to this place, in my opinion, is that it's BYOB.
My BF and I met another couple up here last Friday after hearing good things here on yelp. We wanted to bring some Tiger or Chang beer but couldn't find anywhere that had available cold…More »
14. Labriola Bakery & Café
Thank you, Carol K!
Without your recommendation I probably would have continued to pass over Labriola as I'm not a huge bread gal... or so I thought.
My Dad (the World's Greatest) treated me to a fabulous lunch today after my windshield was cracked…More »

Categories:
Asian Fusion,

Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
Meh. Not bad but overall it was pretty run of the mill.
It's BYOB so that's an automatic 3 star rating and the food was good but not standout excellent. I'd be totally fine not going back again... but then again if I found myself there a second time I…More »

3.75 stars as a restaurant but 4.75 stars as a vegan/veggie/seafood restaurant.
Really, there should be different scales. I just got back from dinner here with my two lovely lady friends and had a pretty damn good time. We got the darkhorse raspberry…More »
17. Lemon Grass Thai Cuisine
First Time Caller, Long Time Listener.
I'd driven past this place many a time and never gone in for whatever reason. I think I had seen the not so hot yelp reviews and stayed away. Today, I finally caved and tried it since it's just a hop, skip, and…More »

Vegan,
Vegetarian,
Fast Food
Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
My excitement for vegan fast food was greater than the actual food but I still enjoyed it.
I think I should have gone with something a little easier to spice up like a burger with ketchup and mustard. I got a gyro and it was kind of bad... soggy (in…More »

Categories:

PS- you can probably tell from reading the other reviews that this place is underwhelming but just in case... I was discussing my weekend experience at Karyn's with a friend who had also eaten here before and my main gripe of the portions being sooo…More »

The portions they serve for the prices they have are TOTALLY 5 star worthy but my tummy is just a Thai food lover and call it old fashioned but my stomach believes that Thailand and China are separated for a reason. -1 star for forcing them to be…More »
21. Naf Naf Grill
A well earned upgrade for the fancy new digs and best pitas and hummus in (at least) the tri-state area.
No joke, you can't get smoother, fluffier hummus or lighter, more pillow-y pitas anywhere. It's like eating a tasty cloud.
Their prices are…More »

22. Chipotle
Heck Yes, it gets 4 stars. It's delicious.
The staff here are super fast burrito makers so the line moves quickly. they don't skimp on the toppings and are quite friendly.
The place is always clean and I believe most of their packaging is recyclable…More »
23. Aurelio's Pizza
Their motto is "Aurelio's is Pizza" and they mean it! If you've never had pizza at the OBT Aurelio's- you just simply have never had pizza. The sauce is delicious and the ingredients are always fresh. The Antipasto salad is HUGE even if you get the…More »
24. Bangkok Village
And on the first day God created Thai food... because he knew without it, he would not last the week.
I left on vacation in Croatia for 2 weeks and would have dreams about Thai food and basil leaves. When my Dad picked me up from the airport he asked…More »

Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 244-1174
If I could choose a way to die, I would choose drowning in a vat of frosting from here... or a vat of melty cheese from Portillo's. Actually, with my luck I wouldn't die at all... just come out alive and VERY obese... but happy nonetheless.
Though…More »
26. Le Siam
I really like this place. There's defo not enough decor for the size of the place but they do okay for the location. I love the window treatments, it makes the place look MUCH fancier than it really is.
I've been here several times and like to enjoy…More »

I am drunk and you serve me food... you are my best friend. With beer goggles on, this place is a total 5 star place, however, I'm currently sober and only willing to admit to like this place at a 4 star rating for now.
Open 24 hours and has a small…More »
28. Chodang Tofu Village
I'm sooo glad to have given this place a shot!
It's in a Mexican strip mall and next to what looks like a low budget women's Dr. office.
It's nothing great to look at and you may be seated at a table in the corner where you can't pull your chair out…More »
29. Red Mango Frozen Yogurt
OMG! SO GOOD, SO GREAT, SO MY LOVE.
Hands down, the most refreshing food in Naperville... next to sangria. The Green Tea and Original flavors are both delicious and the toppings are sooo very fresh and beautiful.
It is a bit costly, especially for…More »
30. Reza's Restaurant
I love this place for a nominally priced brunch on Saturday or Sunday. I am a vegetarian and my boyfriend is a meat eater and we always come out stuffed and happy.
The fresh fruit is very fresh and the veggie selection is quite impressive. I like to…More »

The food was still fantastic but the service was not the 5 stars it has ALWAYS been in the past.
We went at about 7:30 on Friday night and wanted to sit on their patio outside. The hostesses told us that a table outside wouldn't be opening up until…More »

I love this place! I used to crave it back when I lived in the area.
I was raised on pizza and I'm a total topping snob. I like my toppings to be plentiful and rich in quality which is something Dominicks is no stranger to. The one thing that really…More »

My Friend and I used to go here once a week and still try to revive the tradition every Summer. She lives around the block and they have Margarita specials on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so we make the trek. The Lime margarita's are good and the flavors…More »
34. Naper Nuts & Sweets
This old fashioned candy shop has an amazing selection of candy and other nutty, chocolaty, gummy goodness.
The employees are very young but all great kids that seem to take their jobs seriously and really love what they're doing... sooo refreshing!…More »
35. Papa's Pizza Place
Okay, the pizza here tastes far better than the location would present itself to.
My Dad introduced to this place and I reluctantly fell in love... it's not a very young, hip place but damn is it good! I've gotten takeout from here on many occasions…More »
36. Milk & Honey Cafe
The food takes a long time, is kind of pricey, and the ordering system is extremely stressful but I have to give the 4 stars based on the food.
I'm not a huge fan of their desserts but that's what Letizia's down the street is for. There's always a…More »

Prior to my visit last night, I would've given Thalia Spice 5 stars. It's still amazing and the best bang for your buck/ date spot in the city though.
The food... ALL OF IT... is amazing.
There's not a bad thing on the menu. The sushi is big and…More »

OH MAH GAH'D! I hate breakfast but LOVE Egg Harbor!
It's seriously the best. The waitstaff must be heavily medicated because there's no way people are naturally that nice in the morning. It's unbelievable... those people are saints.
There's usually a…More »
