"Out of the handful of Malaysian restaurants in Elmhurst, we go to Coco specifically for its comforting bowls of curry. You can get it with chicken, roti canai, as shrimp curry laksa, or in a hearty fish casserole—and each variation nails the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. The small restaurant is full-service, but it feels a bit like like a wooden-walled stall tucked into a larger market, so you can easily hide out there with your headphones, or have a quiet conversation over milky kopis. Check out the jade jewelry for sale in the back before you leave." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
