The straws were badly bent on the kids' drinks. Otherwise, everything at Carol's was straight-up wonderful. We were greeted by a smiling face as we entered, and seated at a comfortable booth. The kids' menu has some cute activities on one side, and an extensive menu on the other; my little one opted for silver dollar pancakes and a sausage patty, along with an apple juice (the latter of which came with that straw that was bent in no time). The regular menu is extensive, but it took no time for my not-so-little one to pick a Belgian waffle with strawberries, which was offered with whipped cream upon ordering, to which a jubilant yes rang out. Luckily the silver dollar plate also arrived with a bowl of whipped cream, so no one felt left out (nice touch!). I ordered the spinach crepes, which were wonderful, and came with shredded hash browns just like I like them. After much eating and coffee consumption, we decided to commemorate our meal, and asked the same employee who greeted us with a smile to take a photo of us, which he kindly obliged. I didn't include those photos, so unfortunately I'm only posting pics of those wacky straws, mainly in hopes of getting a funny reply from the owner. 😆

Asked for Fresh Crispy Bacon. Not Reheated!!! Waitress asked if I don't mind waiting, I said No, I don't mind. She came out minutes later, with Reheated Bacon. She stated the Cook told her to take it, that it was Fresh. Even though she knew, confidentiality, it was Reheated. She didn't want to get into an Argument with the cook, so she brought it out to the table. She didn't want to Argue with the Cook. The OWNER said it was cooked just over an hour ago and was Fresh. The Waitress has a job to do but can't do it to her BEST ability, but can't, because of a LAZY COOK and a CHEAP OWNER. It's a Shame. Been going there since it was a Golden Bear, over 50 years!!! This was my 3rd problem there in less than 6 months. Things are different these days, Covid-19 certainly didn't make things better, but for My $14.99, plus tax and tip. It's definitely time to find a different place for Me. P.S. I have over 40years in the Restaurant & Hotel Industry. Normally for me, the little guy is my choice, unfortunately today, it was a Bad One.

Tried this place with my husband over lunch. We started off with Thai Ice Tea, Veggie Spring Rolls and Crab Cakes. The starters were amazingly delicious. We then ordered beef pad Thai and Veggie pad Thai which were exceptionally tasty as well. The food was served super fresh and hot. The service was great. There is plenty of parking space outside the restaurant. The ambiance was decent. I would definitely recommend this place! MUST TRY! 5 stars food!

I recently visited and had an amazing experience. The ambiance was excellent, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The appetizers and soups were unique and flavorful, offering a delightful twist on traditional Thai cuisine. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Great dining experience! The food was so good and friendly service. Never had Curry Puffs before. Soo delicious. Kind of like a Samosa but a Thai version...and the little cucumber side with it has a super tasty sauce. Different from the cucumber salad. We also enjoyed the chicken stay, which was tender, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Crazy Noodles. Definitely coming back!

Came for the lunch special. I ordered chicken pad thai, rice soup, and crab rangoon. DELICIOUS!! The food came out freshly stir fried. The crab rangoon are fat with meat and cream. The soup was just big enough to be a great appetizer. Service is great while not hovering. The restaurant itself is clean & tidy. I will be going out of my way to drop by for lunch in the future!

It was definately worth driving 1 hour from my home. This place imports fresh Korean fish directly air-shipped from Korea. It is a must sushi place if you want to try Korean style sashimi called "hwae" We had "A course" for 4 people which was $230, but the amount food was more than enough, we could not finish last bowl of rice with Spicy Korean fish soup called "Maeuntang" Every bite was a masterpiece and the fish was incredibly fresh and melted in my mouth, and the presentation was stunning. I was especially impressed by the variety of options and the chef’s attention to detail. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were so friendly and attentive. Whether you’re a sushi lover or new to it, this place will blow you away. Hands down, the best sushi I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back!”

Came for lunch and the value goes crazy. Their sushi is very high quality and rice is well seasoned. The music and vibes are nice, very clean/modern.

Consistently excellent food and hands down the best place in the area. A true gem that never disappoints!

This place is probably our go to Chinese food spot. Unfortunately, The foods not incredible, but it will be warm yummy and crispy. The general Tao chicken is my favorite!

The sushi was great! Cute restaurant with great atmosphere and friendly service. Would definitely come here again. Also the garlic parmesan edamame was *chefs kiss*

How completely unprofessional and genuinely insane that we made reservations to eat here tonight for my wife's birthday. Only to have a poorly drawn sign saying you decided to close down for your daughters birthday? Why did you take reservations? Did you consider anyone else's special days? Clearly not, because you would have notified your customers, you didn't though. What a joke.

I honestly don’t know why this place doesn’t have greater reviews! The food is AMAZING. Not too heavy or oily, so fresh & flavorful. The boiled fish I had fell apart- so tender & moist, the vegetables were cooked perfectly- not at all mushy but not too crisp & the sauce that came with the egg rolls was light- not sticky sweet like the majority of sweet ‘n sour sauces that usually come with your appetizer. The hot jasmine tea was the perfect way to relax while we shortly waited for our food. Officially my new go to place even though I live 30 mins away!

Everything we ordered was spectacular, we also ordered the chicken wings and the beef pad see ew. It’s a little divey inside, but we will drive the 30 minutes to eat here again no problem. Just know that if something claims to be spicy on the menu, they mean it.

Everything here is, as usual, top-notch. It is not all you can eat. However, you are offered enough food to be filled. I love the selection here, and service is always great.

I cannot praise this place more, the food is incredible, the people and service is top notch, moderately priced but you get quite a bit of food for the $17 bowls. We used to live in Schaumburg and went to a place called Big Bowl, this is similar but better. Try it, you will not be disappointed, we will be back, many more times.

I can't wait to go back! They made me a pork egg roll wrapped inside of a fresh shrimp spring roll!!!!!! The organic honey was a nice touch for my tea. Banh mi was very good.

I went here alone on a very cold winter night. They were very welcoming into the space. A nice variety of seating. My host recommended a delicious meal. It was delightful. I tried all the sauces. The service was beyond excellent. Finished with a sesame dessert roll and tea. I will definitely return to try other items on the menu. Very good, healthy food, at a very nice price. Well done!

What a great night! Food and service was amazing. Samantha and Doug were incredible bartenders. From start to finish food was amazing. Port plater was so good, king crab legs were enough to share. Perfect night. We will go back for sure.

We just stopped by here after kids have a trick or treat in Old town Algonquin. I ordered fried Oyster in hoping to still get a taste of oyster while pregnant, however this is what we got, 5% oyster and 95% breaded. It’s disgusting, if only we are not in a hurry I would have asked for the fresh one instead. We won’t be ever coming back here again , our food came and we don’t have our plates and utensils yet. My husband ordered the Port Burger and asked for Mayonnaise , it never came. Such a waste of money.

A little disappointed with my recent visit tonight. I have been here previously and never had an issue. Tonight, I ordered the Bangkok spicy fried rice with chicken. Pick up my order and when I get home I had regular chicken fried rice. It had a good flavor, but was not what I ordered and was looking forward too.

Chet, the owner of the restaurant, was very accommodating to our party of 6. Everything was clean and neat. The staff was welcoming. The menu is descriptive and well organized into categories such as fried rice varieties, sweet and sour dishes, mixed vegetable dishes, etc. Prices are very affordable and portions are appropriate and filling. They, also, offer 18 different flavors of Boba teas PLUS Boba toppings. Our food was quickly made fresh to order and was absolutely delicious! The pho I had was quite flavorful and the broth is NOT oily like at most places. The others our party really enjoyed their ginger chicken, sweet and sour chicken and kids chicken strip meals. A majority of us ordered the pho and were very pleased with our decision. We even received some yummy Thai Iced Tea on the house! I'm not at all familiar with Thai Iced Tea but it has a delightful hint of chocolaty after taste. We will definitely make it a point to stop here along our way to the Dells from henceforth!

Recently moved back from Colorado and have gone years without a good place for boba, egg rolls and crab Rangoons. This place was a 10/10! The atmosphere was great the employees/owners were phenomenal we had an allergy issue and they right away stepped in wanting to accommodate us which is very rare for places to jump in fast wanting to help accommodate. Definitely recommend this place we will for sure be back! Not to mention the bobo drink containers were soo adorable!

Omg… best crab ragoons and egg rolls I ever had! All the food was so tasty… fried rice is so flavorful and the beef is so tender in Mongolian beef!!! Try this place, you will not regret it!
