BNK Thai & Sushi — Restaurant in Illinois

Delicious food, super friendly owners, kitchy decor (but with a certain charm) :)

I went for takeout last week for the first time, and it was delicious so I went back today and the owner not only remembered me, but even remembered my order. I had the same thing again, cashew, but with beef this time and more spicy. Super delicious! I ate in this time too, and they are very friendly and attentive.

You can tell they use fresh produce, because the vegetables have a nice bite to them while still being cooked through. The meat is very juicy. The sauce is great, and they gave me a bit extra sauce without charging me for it.

They give you free ice water, which is something I appreciate in a restaurant.

The portions, quality, and prices are all good. The food comes out fast as well. It's now my new 'too-lazy/busy-to-cook place'...

UPDATE: THEIR Pad Thai is horrible. I dought my dog eat this slop. 5 tiny pieces of chicken and over cooked noodles with a repulsive overtly sweet sauce with ZERO vegetables. No bamboo shoots nor carrot shreds, green onion. No nothing. Just a pile of plain shredded cabbage. What a joke! Why people come here for this embarrassing food I have no idea. Also their sushi is WAAAY over priced and tiny rolls.

Their sushi rolls are small and their prices are high. Their miso soup is generic and doesn't have a fresh homemade taste to it unlike Ni Hao that puts in large chunks of tofu. Also the rice is under seasoned. I've been to over 100 sushi restaurants and I'm sad to say I am not impressed at BNK. Below average rice. Small rolls. Too expensive. The employees are nice and the atmosphere is nice but...

1 star for prompt service, but the sushi was terrible. Rolls were falling apart and two of the rolls ordered were so large they needed to be cut in half or quarters to eat them. Seaweed roll was not cut all the way through causing the roll to unravel when the first piece was taken. Tempura flakes are jammed in the middle of the roll rather than on top, and the shrimp tempura was rock hard and inedible. $40 spent on edamame and three rolls and by far and away the best part of the meal were the beans. Did not finish hardly any of the sushi. I didn’t know sushi could be screwed...
