It was nice to finally find a Chinese restaurant that stands out. The service was perfect and helpful through their many menu options. I am a Kung Pao Chicken fanatic and cannot find many placed that do it right. Spicy!! No doubt about it, and full of flavor. Huge, lean and moist chicken, fried rice was done right and the Hot and Sour Soup topped off the good meal.
Trust me on this one, if you have the Chinese food craving, stop in for a great meal at a reasonable price.
Pros: Try the Kung Pao anything

Khyber Pass my favorite Indian restaurant in Chicago, and the only Zagat rated one I am aware of. In my experience, the staff warms up if you visit there often - they are extremely proper and polite people, who are tremendously considerate. I think the maitre d' looks like Sinbad The Sailor?s older brother, don't you? Sinbad is a swarthy and handsome man.
Now, about the food.
If you cannot decide what to order, have the buffet - all of the right paneers are present and accounted for, along with the curry dishes, saucy sauces and great soups. Tandoori chicken with lemon wedges and onions are brought to every table, for whoever orders the buffet (and so are warm papadums). The Saag Paneer is perfect - the right amount of spicy and smooth. The samosas are always great but I favor their vegetable fritters because the crunch is perfect, never soggy or overcooked. Good chutney - you'll like it. Personally, I would walk on broken glass for their Rogaan Josh (lamb curry). If you don't order the buffet, and pick from the menu, you will love yourself for being so clever. Have the fish curry from the menu - it?s a light filet on the mild side, with a hint of sweetness. The assorted breadbasket is nice, too. Plenty to share and that's the point - it's about sharing at Khyber Pass. I never visit in a party of less than three. We linger over Kingfishers, watch the belly dancers (kids love that part) and then make room for the mango ice cream and rice pudding.
Khyber Pass is inexpensive. The decor is better than most. Cliched, a little? You bet. Is there something wrong with that? Smile, eat up, and enjoy yourself once in a while!
Pros: Lots and lots of great food, and quick service.
Cons: I smell like curry when I leave.

I dont understand how the other review was so low. I've been to many sushi bars and this is probably the best quality i've had for years. I know sushi i went to japan, and the food is quite delectable at this resturant. If you are thinking to come and eat here i would recomend not to come with a bigger group on a saturday it gets very crowded and it could be unpleasent. They are on top though of finding you a seat soon as possible though the waits are hardly ever longer than 15-20 min. I recomend the fire dragon, aloha, volcano, spider, rainbow, and tempura sweet potatoe. i havent had much of their cooked meals but i heard the teriaki beef is to die for. Last but not least the DESERTS coffee and red bean icecream our my personal favorites. If u are not a wide range eater i recomend not to eat these kinds of food because they are very unique/different to what our usual family resturants eat. If you're ready for a great new exciting meal you should deffinatly go to sagano.
Pros: great quality
Cons: but can get expensive

I have been going to The King and I Thai Restaurant for years and in my humble opinion, there is no finer place for Thai food. The minute you enter, you are greeted by the nicest people ever. The restaurant is immaculately clean. But the food is the best. Being a vegetarian, my favorite dish is the pad thai noodles. The vegetarian spring rolls are sumptious as are the egg rolls. The luncheon special can't be beat...$5.95 from 11 to 3. I guarantee, you will not be disappointed going to this gem of a restaurant.
Pros: Food, Cleanliness, Wait Staff

This restaurant is very authentic. Their food of course is , but so is their decorations and the atmosphere, they even play Chinese music on their stereo.
The food however is the best part. They offer lunch specials, but if you can't make it during those times the prices are still reasonable and the service is great too. I really enjoyed their soup and shrimp fried rice that was served with tea also. This little section of Oak Park is very charming with alot of shops and restaurants and of course the theater is only aprox. a block away.
