New Pot Restaurant — Restaurant in Oak Park

Nice restaurant located in the heart of Oak Park. You can tell it's family owned and loved. The little kids working on their homework at the front are adorable. Really put us in a good frame of mind for our lunch/dinner.

The food is reasonably priced. We started out with the spring rolls, chicken satay, and had the lunch special of soup and pot stickers.

Spring rolls were very delicious however the plum sauce was drenched over it which I didn't like because it made everything too sweet. The satay was good but I've had better. I feel like it was a little on the dry side and there wasn't enough sauce. The soup was a pleasure to eat, it was just the right amount to get our appetite going and the pot stickers were a good addition.

Our meals came very quickly, right as we were finishing up the appetizers. I had Pad Thai with tofu, though it was good I felt like again it was lacking in more flavor. Maybe there wasn't enough sauce? I'm not sure. But I feel like it wasn't something I really want to go back to eat because it was delicious, more because it was a lunch and we needed to get going.

All in all, the food is good, not incredible but good. It's reasonably priced, and the environment has a warm feel to it. I will be coming back just...

This place is terrible. I have been here a few times and I won't be returning. The food is consistently bland, the service is slow, and the man who took my order the last had a terrible attitude because I asked for a refund for a awful tasting Thai iced tea. I love Thai iced tea and they certainly do not how to make it correctly here. It looked like a cup of pure cream, even after mixing it up. The man scoffed at me when I asked for a refund. He eventually gave me $2.50. I asked why I wasn't refunded the tax I paid and was visibly upset/shaken. I was surprised by this because it's not like I was asking for a full refund. I should have and almost did though. I walked home and the food was bland and the salad I ordered was hot/wilted. They had me waiting forever when I went to pick up my order and the person who packaged my food put the hot food and cold salad in the same bag. It did not help that the hot food was on the bottom of the bag. It is such a shame that this place is terrible because I live down the street. I will make sure to tell everyone to avoid this place. Save yourself disappointment and go to...

So I ate here first time on 2/18/2019, ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp and beef (beef was not good quality), fried pot stickers, and cucumber salad. I returned the wonton noodle soup because it was not good quality, the dumplings were more doughy and the broth just tasted like hot water. Now they questioned me on why I didn't like the soup, I told them. So the next 2 day, i'm doubled over in pain, cramping, nauseous, watery diarrhea, can't eat or drink ANYTHING! My mom ate there as well but said she felt fine. So now i'm thinking they did something to MY food because I returned the soup. First off, i'm not eating or playing for anything that doesn't taste the way it should soooo nit my fault you had to take an L on that soup. I've never felt like this in my life after eating at an establishment!! If in fact I did get food poison from them (per my doctor after knowing everything that occurred time wise and I hadn't eaten anything else) I ...will not be eating at new pot restaurant ever again, because they don't respect the customer if you...
