"Ezankaya in Rogers Park is ideal if you live nearby and need some noodles or curry. There are usually plenty of tables available, and you’ll probably see some Loyola roommates eating there because someone forgot to go grocery shopping. Ignore the large sushi section, it’s all pretty skippable with bland fish and mushy rice. Stick to the Thai dishes—though some might be imbalanced, like prawns in a too-sweet tamarind sauce—they’re generally decent. photo credit: Waroot Jiradateprapai" - John Ringor
