Delicious Taiwanese spot. It's best to get a bunch of dishes to share as a group so that you can taste as much as possible. The line can get long on the weekends, so if you want a quieter vibe go for an early dinner on a weekday. Also good for takeout.
Our favorite dishes are the dan dan noodles, the chicken chiyai or mapo tofu rice, the everything scallion pancake, and the pork belly sandwich. For the cold apps we love the lotus root, boiled peanuts, bamboo, and wood ear mushrooms. Don't forget the mochi dessert.
Enjoy !! :)

Great Thai spot where you can eat outdoors and people watch on one of the main strips of Highland Park. Also a good pick for nearby takeout.
Some of our fav dishes: fried shrimp appetizer & khao soi,

Delicious bagel shop that rivals New York (coming from a former New Yorker). It's only open in the mornings and can sell out a couple hours before closing. Def recommend their egg sammies + the spicy tomato jam, and also their classic lox schmear bagels.
They do not have indoor seating. You can eat on the street or take it to go.

Love this spot so much !! This is one of my favorite cafes to walk to on a weekday morning with our dog. They have some of my favorite drinks around, and they also sell a selection of bags of coffee beans.
Favorite iced drinks are the G.P.S. (Green Plum Shaken), the Hong Kong Mylk Tea, and the Blue Jasmine Green Tea. Favorite hot drinks are the matcha and americano.
