Cozy Noodles & Rice

Really great food and customer service! Went here on a whim and am glad! Super cute inside and really great vibe

The inside definitely has an interesting vibe with all the Knick knacks and bobble heads. It's cash only if you dine in and the place itself is pretty small. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive.

I absolutely loved the crab Rangoon. Would highly recommend. I got the World Series Game Seven and it was pretty good, but I guess I'm not sure why it's more expensive then the basic pad Thai. I also tried the crispy Pad Khee Mao. I don't think I'm a fan of the crispy noodle, but the sauce was decent.

I LOVE this place simply because of their decor. The curation of Cubs, Disney, and miscellaneous retro decor is super cool with a lot of neat unique finds. Make sure to check out their bathroom!

It's basic but the Thai Fried Rice is great! Packed with flavor and the veggies are fresh. The Pad Thai is not my absolute favorite but it's pretty good for when I'm in the area.

The service is good. The servers are very nice and quick to help you. However, they take only cash, and have a sign stating that everyone must order their own plate. They didn't enforce it with our group but I could see this being annoying if a group is just looking for a quick bite.

Decided to try this place on a rainy cold night.

We ordered the red curry with shrimp
We ordered a side of white rice. Since listing didn't say it comes with rice already.

The crazy noodles with chicken which were buy one get one.
Delicious plenty of veggies and noodles.

Pretty good for a last minute decision.

This review is a looooong time coming.

I lived across the street from Cozy in Wrigley from 2014-2017. Cozy immediately became my go-to and rain or snow or shine, I ordered the Cozy Rice Soup weekly. Add an order of Crispy Pad Thai on weeks where I had a little more spending $$.

I introduced all my friends and family to Cozy and it has since become a tradition in my family to stop by when we can. Many years later, I live in Los Angeles and my family is spread out across the states and when we can visit, it's a treat. This past weekend we had a long layover in Chicago and we made the most of the trip by ordering Cozy to-go and ate at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to Cozy and the incredible staff, you've become a staple in our family. We've made so many memories surrounding your tables and eating your food. Congratulations on celebrating 20 epic years.

I don't think I spoke this whole meal I was truly hellbent on shoving everything in my mouth. Every mouthful was perfect and I will spend the rest of my life chasing after this high. We started with the cozy wings which are the best fried chicken wings I've ever had, the breading and fry is absolutely perfectly crispy and crunchy and the chicken underneath is juicy and glistening. The red curry salmon is a beautiful broth base with chunks of pineapple and pole beans topped with the flakiest, softest, perfectly steamed salmon. The pad thai has crunch from the peanuts, chew from the noodles, and a perfect blend of tamarind and sugar. The Thai salad topped with steamed shrimp is the way to go, the shrimp is, you guessed it, is PERFECTLY steamed, plump and with a great bite to it. The salad is thai-style spicy, overwhelming and jolting, every fresh cucumber slice, tomato chunk, and leaf of lettuce soaking up the citrus and chili, it's refreshing exterior now housing a burst of spice and lime. This meal was truly perfect and to cap it off, the dishware is so lovely and the plates are HEART-SHAPED. I HEART YOU TOO, COZY NOODLES AND RICE!!!!

Loved Cozy Noodles and Rice! The food was delicious - crab rangoons, spicy curry ramen, mild yellow curry with rice and lucky noodles with spinach noodles and lots of broccoli. The menu was almost mind boggling but we chose our dinners and ate them up. Big portions so we had plenty for leftovers.

The atmosphere is cozy, bright and festive, a visual cornucopia of quirky doodads (with a good percentage focused on Cubs, appropriate for the location). Even Elvis, there by the cash register. Staff was friendly, food delivered quickly.

Cash only but there's an ATM in the back (this cash only thing at restaurants bugs me, especially in a big city, figure it's some kind of scam of some kind?? Someone is making money off it, for sure, if only the ATM vendor).

Street parking but there's a lot nearby.

I've been coming to Cozy's since they opened 20 years ago and wow I literally just had to walk out because the chef was yelling and screaming and throwing things in the back! I am so mad I paid down the meter, walked down to the bank to get cash since they are a cash only facility only to be shocked by the yelling and screaming is the owner/staff! Horrible and not the way to welcome your guests! Do better Cozy!

Was so excited to try Cozy after rave reviews from friends, but was so disappointed it didn't hit the spot.

Pros:
- Such a cute, cozy (no pun intended) restaurant
- Great location
- Very patient and attentive service

Cons:
- To food was just not impressive. I heard rave reviews of the crispy pad thai, and I assumed the crispy was an addition rather than the noodle itself. I wouldn't liked it as a crispy topper, but it overpowered the whole dish as fried and greasy. There was also hardly any sprouts/veggies. It was 90% fried crispy noodle and chicken, which wasn't enjoyable.
- Fried rice was decent - Good portion of fresh veggies, just could use some flavor/spice.

Overall, was excited to try this cute spot but wasn't blown away, and there are plenty of stronger options nearby.

A cute, cash-only, small Thai restaurant deep in Lakeview, the restaurant is very much cozy and a great place to hang out with friends. I'm terms of food, you will get your very standard Thai experience here, albeit with a pricier price point and with much smaller portions. You will likely have to order several dishes to share in order to be satisfied here because of the small portions so you might not rank this high on your value for money scale. That being said, the service is excellent and the various milk teas and smoothies they have on the menu is large and comprehensive--you are likely to find something that satisfies everyone here. My only wish is that portion sizes were a bit larger.
