Cozy Noodles n' Rice

When looking up a place to grab a bite to eat after a day in the city, we are so so glad we gave Cozy noodles n’ rice a try in Wrigleyville. Not only was the food amazing, the decor and aesthetic scratched an itch for this Cubs fan over here. Everything was so cute, it really made my day. Ordered the fried chicken pad Thai and the garlic chicken noodles. They were both really good and reasonably priced for the area. Food was fresh and fast. They are cash only for dine in so keep that in mind! Totally recommend and will definitely be back!

I love this place! Staff is so friendly and they’re located in the heart of Wrigleyville, making it the perfect spot when I’m craving Thai street food. The Lard Na is one of my go to dishes - hearty pieces of chicken and broccoli soaked in gravy. The gravy is so flavorful there’s not a drop of it left when I’m finished. I also get their Garlic Chicken Noodles which is fire.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Chicago! My favorite place for pad Thai and pad kee mao. I love the decor and the service is always great! Been here twice, I’d come back again

This Thai restaurant has been run by its owner for over 20 years, and most of the employees are Thai, resulting in truly authentic Thai flavors. The staff is very friendly, and the owner is incredibly energetic. The prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant!

After trying so many places and being so disappointed... Cozy Noodles n' Rice was a welcome change. They had me feeling nostalgic for my non-existent Thai grandmother's cooking. If I'm ever in Chicago again, this will be my family's go-to place and I'll tell everyone I know how amazing it was. Everything we had was top notch, you won't be disappointed here.

My husband and I were looking for a cozy date night during a winter storm, and this place did not disappoint. It was tucked away on a quiet residential street, just around the corner from the bustling Clark St in Wrigleyville. The Thai Curry Ramen was so warm and nourishing for the soul. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!!

I came here the other day with my friend from out of town. The service was amazing and the staff was very hospitable. I am always impressed by the crab rangoons and the cozy rice soup. You can tell everything is made fresh to order and carefully delivered. My favorite entree is the Wrigley forever - you cannot go wrong with any of them. Compliments to Chef Tee.

Excellent food! Excellent friendly service. We visit every September and we are so well taken care of. We feel like family and that's so impressive to us these days. Thank you so very much and keep up the great work and see you next year!

I don't write Yelp reviews often but decided to log back in to my account just to leave a review for this place. I pass this place often and had been wanting to try and I'm glad I finally did. SO GOOD. The vibes are so unique and it really lives up to it's cozy name. Our server was so nice and welcoming, it definitely has a neighborhood feel. The food was amazing and there were a lot of interesting options, like the bacon pad thai that I got. I stopped in for a quick dinner but next time will definitely try an appetizer or some of the yummy drinks I saw on the menu.

I love this place! Absolute favorite restaurant in Wrigley. I love this place. The pad thai is great. Some experimental dishes like the chicken nugget pad thai are fun, although I stick to the staples. My favorite dish here is definitely the curry. I've tried most of the curries here and they are all delicious.

Service from Sheol. I asked for two and the server said "For inside eating only cash." I had $10 so I'd need to pay by credit or debit. But being denied "inside eating" based on payment type? That was weird. And off-putting. But I'm adaptable, so I said fine, I'll order to-go. I went with the Lard Mar with pork for $12.95. She rings me up and says $20.95 and I say Wait. It's $12.95 and I show her the menu. She says, "Oh that's because you ordered pork which is extra." So I show her (again) the menu. Obviously above her pay grade so she pulls the owner (manager?) in. They confer and Ms. Bosslady says the same thing. A Yet again I show her the menu, explaining the menu clearly states "choice of meat" for the $12.95 entree. She insists only chicken comes with it for $12.95. I initially said chicken would be fine but the Bosslady copped an attitude. I told her I understand what she's saying but it's not on the menu. The menu is misrepresenting. Either give me the pork added for $12.95 or the chicken and then she tells the server to cancel the order and return my credit card. I say fine but this will be in my Yelp review. As I leave some patsy drunk dude with his five "grownup" friends clap and say "good riddance" as my 8-year-old daughter follows me out. I hope Bosslady's defense of her false advertising menu is worth it. She easily could have had a satisfied repeat customer. As of this writing (20 minutes post-exit) my card doesn't show transaction canceled. P.S. I took a pic of the menu but it's not letting me attach at the moment. I'll add ASAP.

So far I've had their pad Thai twice and loved every bite! Can't wait to try their other dishes. I wish they were a little bit closer to us.

The service was amazing, and the food was just as good! We loved the atmosphere with the neon lights and cute decor. The food came out quickly and was not too pricey either. Cozy will definitely be our new go to Thai spot!

Delicious warm food and great guest service. The ambiance is worth noting, and the experience worth celebrating.

Small and cute place! Cash only, but the do have an ATM in the back which is helpful! The seating is pretty limited but we were able to get a table for 2 right away. The menu is fairly large with a ton of options. The servers were all very friendly and welcoming. They had many banners that it was voted best Thai food in Chicago 2025. Unfortunately, the food was not as great as advertised. It was good, but lacked a bit of flavor. It's a cute place to grab a quick bite and enjoy the cute atmosphere, but as far as amazing Thai food I think there are better options in the area.

Such a cute and cozy little spot in the heart of Wrigley. Not a lot of seating inside so could be harder getting a table during dinner time. I went around 3PM on a Saturday and was easily able to get a table. Love the quirky decor and the service was great but the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because I wish the portions were slightly bigger. I was still hungry after my noodles entree so I think these portions might be smaller than other places. But my noodles were really good!

We got the mixed appetizer plate, pineapple fried rice with shrimp and and a mango bubble tea/slushie. First off this thai restaurant is super cute and colorful on the inside with wonderful service. The mixed app had a variety of stuff but the crab rangoons were my fav. The mango bubble tea had more of a slushie/ smoothie texture which i actually prefer so that was a nice refreshing drink. Finally the pineapple fried rice, i expected that to come in an actual pineapple but the heart shaped plate was a cute surprise. The fried rice was good but i personally didn't love the nuts in it, you could ask for that taken out and probably what i'll do next time. Overall I'd definitely recommend this place! They have great lunch specials as well.

I walked in and immediately loved it! The decor is beautiful. This place is so unique and the food is fantastic. Great job to our server Yui !!

This place is fantastic. I love the vibes, it's so fun but also neat and so much to look at. The service is fantastic, Chef Tee was so kind and gave us free food for our first time there. The food was delicious and I cannot wait to come back! Cash only and BYOB.

I waited until my second time here to review. Everything I've had has seven delicious. The service is really outstanding, the place is actually so cozy. I'm a huge fan. Can vouch for their: Crab rangoon, seaweed salad, fried tofu, pad thai.

Cozy Noodles & Rice is a cozy, eccentrically decorated spot that serves delicious & authentic thai food, but the portions are on the smaller side. Ambience & Service: My party of 6 found were seated promptly after the host rearranged some tables. The interior is maximally decorated and makes for interesting conversation. The downside is it's somewhat small, so I wouldn't recommend coming with large parties. Service was great since there were only a few tables. Food: We ordered pad see ew, drunken noodles, curry, and their signature spicy suzuki. Everything came out hot on cute heart-shaped plates and tasted great. Though portions were noticeably small for $15 price point, to the point where my guy friends contemplated ordering second entrees. We were very hungry after bouldering and didn't complain, but I'm unsure if some would revisit. Overall, it's worth visiting for the vibes, authentic dishes, and to support a mom-and-pop restaurant... but I'd go elsewhere if I were very hungry or going with a large group.

I was sick and wanted some soup. The soup had lettuce in it. Not cabbage, but iceberg lettuce. I appreciated face simplicity of the soup, but lettuce does go in soup.

The inside definitely has an interesting vibe with all the Knick knacks and bobble heads. It's cash only if you dine in and the place itself is pretty small. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. I absolutely loved the crab Rangoon. Would highly recommend. I got the World Series Game Seven and it was pretty good, but I guess I'm not sure why it's more expensive then the basic pad Thai. I also tried the crispy Pad Khee Mao. I don't think I'm a fan of the crispy noodle, but the sauce was decent.

Cozy is still excellent food but getting pricey. All three items in photo were $43 ( $48 with tax). Veggies a little light too.

One of my favorite spots to go crazy and order more food than I can ever finish to fight off sunday scaries. Cash only if you're dining in (not the case for delivery) but there are multiple ATMs in walking distance so it's not a hinderance to the experience. The inside feels like you're in your excentric uncle's house, if your uncle collected Chicago tchotchkes and string lights. Its busy but roomy and I'll just say there's always something new to look at in there. I've never had anything sub par here, my usuals are the orange chicken (basic but classic), cashew chicken, garlic noodles, and the crab rangoons (wish the wrapper was thinner but still one of my favs in the city). The owner is a super sweet guy, and if you dont see him running around the restaurant himself, he does have little bitmoji's of himself throughout as well.

This was amazing!! It wasn't too spicy and the flavors were great! Pretty affordable and a quaint little place

Food - 3.5/5 Ambience - 3.5/5 Service 3.5/5 Value - 3/5 You do have to pay in cash, but there is an atm on site. Great place to go after a Cubs game. Small place, but the decor is unmatched, Chicago memorabilia everywhere. The food was good, though not much to choose from if you have a shellfish allergy. It is thai food with a twist so if you are looking for a specific curry, this may not be the best place to go.

Place is super decked out in all things cubs and toys! Every one here is extremely nice and welcoming. The waitress recommended the Thai basil chicken and was absolutely incredible. Going back later this week.

Came to Cozy noodle before the Marathon and enjoyed a great meal. Came back after the race and spoke with Chef, him and his wife are welcoming and remembered us from before the race. I am already planning my next dinner at Cozy, and think you should too. A one of a kind place, with great history, and community based values.

Loved this spot!! Cash ONLY! Heads up eaters!! The staff are really nice, the food is tasty and the space has a great vibe! Small dining space so big parties (4+) won't fit comfortable. It's right around the corner from Wriggly Field so if you don't want a burger or an over priced try it out!

This review is a looooong time coming. I lived across the street from Cozy in Wrigley from 2014-2017. Cozy immediately became my go-to and rain or snow or shine, I ordered the Cozy Rice Soup weekly. Add an order of Crispy Pad Thai on weeks where I had a little more spending $$. I introduced all my friends and family to Cozy and it has since become a tradition in my family to stop by when we can. Many years later, I live in Los Angeles and my family is spread out across the states and when we can visit, it's a treat. This past weekend we had a long layover in Chicago and we made the most of the trip by ordering Cozy to-go and ate at the Lincoln Park Zoo. A huge and heartfelt thank you to Cozy and the incredible staff, you've become a staple in our family. We've made so many memories surrounding your tables and eating your food. Congratulations on celebrating 20 epic years.

Cozy is definitely a great name for this place. It gives a local feel and you're definitely getting authentic Thai food. Be sure to bring cash if you're coming here!! I've made the mistake and forgotten- they do have an ATM in the restaurant, though. The pad Thai and crab rangoons are phenomenal.

Love it, amazing!!! They are the best!!! Such great service and such a cool vibe inside. Would definitely recommend

Loved Cozy Noodles and Rice! The food was delicious - crab rangoons, spicy curry ramen, mild yellow curry with rice and lucky noodles with spinach noodles and lots of broccoli. The menu was almost mind boggling but we chose our dinners and ate them up. Big portions so we had plenty for leftovers. The atmosphere is cozy, bright and festive, a visual cornucopia of quirky doodads (with a good percentage focused on Cubs, appropriate for the location). Even Elvis, there by the cash register. Staff was friendly, food delivered quickly. Cash only but there's an ATM in the back (this cash only thing at restaurants bugs me, especially in a big city, figure it's some kind of scam of some kind?? Someone is making money off it, for sure, if only the ATM vendor). Street parking but there's a lot nearby.

Was so excited to try Cozy after rave reviews from friends, but was so disappointed it didn't hit the spot. Pros: - Such a cute, cozy (no pun intended) restaurant - Great location - Very patient and attentive service Cons: - To food was just not impressive. I heard rave reviews of the crispy pad thai, and I assumed the crispy was an addition rather than the noodle itself. I wouldn't liked it as a crispy topper, but it overpowered the whole dish as fried and greasy. There was also hardly any sprouts/veggies. It was 90% fried crispy noodle and chicken, which wasn't enjoyable. - Fried rice was decent - Good portion of fresh veggies, just could use some flavor/spice. Overall, was excited to try this cute spot but wasn't blown away, and there are plenty of stronger options nearby.

This is a small and kind of kitschy, cute spot - and the food is really tasty! They have lots of options you don't find at most Thai restaurants. Price is reasonable and friendly service. I'm going back!

Update? Kind of? Look, Cozy is still the best, and I will add that over the last decade, I've really appreciated seeing how Cozy works to connect with community, especially during tougher times. A lot of cool places have closed shop in the corpo-glammification of Wrigleyville over the last several years, but Cozy remains--thank goodness for that!

COCKROACHES! Stay away! After sitting down and eating most of my meal, I noticed there was bugs moving around on the floor. It turns out it was cockroaches!. I felt like throwing up after seeing them. Unfortunately, the owner still made me pay. I did reach out and asked for a refund, but he never returned my emails. I still can't believe I paid. I just wanted to get the heck out of there. I had to throw away my sneakers because I didn't want to bring cockroach back home.

Really good Thai place in lakeview. I thought the noodles and the spicy Korean wings were tasty, the portions great, and the prices fair. I've only had it once, but would absolutely go back and try as much of the menu as I can. I would also go back for the chicken alone. Service was good, and the inside decoration is fun and cute. They don't take cards, which is the only reason I took off a star; I had to use the ATM inside to pay. However, that would not prevent me from going back.

Great noodle and Thai joint in Wrigleyville just a block from the ballpark. Place is small but they go a good business. Food is tasty. Staff lovely. Portions good. Prices reasonable. Always happy when I order food from here.

Decided to try this place on a rainy cold night. We ordered the red curry with shrimp We ordered a side of white rice. Since listing didn't say it comes with rice already. The crazy noodles with chicken which were buy one get one. Delicious plenty of veggies and noodles. Pretty good for a last minute decision.

thai iced tea was the best ive had so far in chicago. even in a completely packed restaurant it still was ready very quickly. a perfect amount of sweetness to it that a lot of teas will lack.

We ordered the Spicy Basil, which was really good, and the green curry which was ok not great

A very mediocre takeout experience. Food arrived 20 min late and was bland. Not worth $20 for an entree.

Classic place that has been here for a long time. Lots of interesting decor including bobble heads, cubs decorations, fun sandstone coaster tiles in the bathroom from classic Chicago places. Friendly service. Everyone seems to know everyone... some cops came in and were really friendly with everyone. Note: This place is cash only. I think this is great so we can encourage circulating money in our local economies without being tracked or having 3% taken for the bank on every transaction. It really adds up. Pros: * Food was decent. I ordered the Hot Chicken Basil/Pad Kra Prow style dish with egg. * got two eggs * Good sized portions. * Friendly Service. Cons: * Eggs were overcooked (over hard). This dish should have runny yolks. * Staff sprayed some seriously toxic aerosol cleaner to wipe the tables... consider moving away from the aerosol so that you don't pollute the air with it and affect the health of staff and diners. Get a natural cleaner or use vinegar and water as a bonus, but at least move to a liquid based cleaner instead of aerosol. I think there was one more thing I didn't like, but overall it was fine.

I must have forgotten to review this place over 10 years back when I first came. It's so nostalgic in so many ways because it's a place that a friend who has now passed away brought me here. It was one of his favorites. It's so Chicago and Thai, filled with love as associated with what Cozy encompasses. It's a kitschy spot and thus will begin your attachments to wanting so many delicious items here. The decor is fun and filled with childlike comforts. The menu has lots of fun baseball named items. I came with my coworkers whom I easily convinced that eating Thai food would be much better than ball park food before the game. We forgot share so many delicious items: baby eggrolls, crab Rangoons, gyozas, shrimp salad, Chicken Tom yum soup, chicken satay, Wrigley Forever, Doubleheader, salmon red curry, salmon special, pineapple fried rice. Everything was flavorful and delicious! Service was great, and I will try not to wait too long to come back again. It's a small spot but was so impressed that all 6 of us got to eat together. It's a place my team will not forget. Cash only!

Amazing little spot in Wrigley! Food is delicious (basil chicken was our fav), and they even got us a table when we were originally a takeout order. Great waitress! Will return all of the time and with friends for the cute decor and fun vibe.

Ordered massaman curry and the sauce was completely broken and inedible. This wouldn't ordinarily be a big deal--sometimes meals are bad--but the person at the restaurant tried to tell me that the sauce was supposed to look like that which simply is not true. It's one thing to get a bad meal. It's something else entirely to be gaslit into thinking your bad meal was fine.

A cute, cash-only, small Thai restaurant deep in Lakeview, the restaurant is very much cozy and a great place to hang out with friends. I'm terms of food, you will get your very standard Thai experience here, albeit with a pricier price point and with much smaller portions. You will likely have to order several dishes to share in order to be satisfied here because of the small portions so you might not rank this high on your value for money scale. That being said, the service is excellent and the various milk teas and smoothies they have on the menu is large and comprehensive--you are likely to find something that satisfies everyone here. My only wish is that portion sizes were a bit larger.

Cozy Noodles And Rice is...cozy. It has such a crazy interior it almost makes me forget about how good the food is. Lots of action figures, robots and whatever treasures others discarded have been placed on every square inch of the walls. Kind of distracting like there's too much going on, but it's clear this place is more than about food. The best thing is they're also welcoming to anyone and they don't judge. All the stuff that's in here, and there's still enough room to dine inside. It's hard to look away, and you'll be scanning the walls throughout your meal. This restaurant is almost at Wrigley Field so of course there's Cubs stuff, like hundreds of figurines, it's nuts. And there's more. There's another wall with hundreds of toy robots. I almost forget about the food. What I had last time was a Matcha Boba Milk Tea and the Tofu Salad. It's about $10 for a good amount of tofu and fixings. This is spicy with cilantro and while it's not huge, it's satisfying. Best place for crazy Thai food. If you love kids junk you'll love looking around here. Those who dine in have pay cash, or you could pay the fee instead, but why do that.

Food is great- dine in or take out, service is excellent- family owned & run. Ambience is eclectic & fun. This is a great spot!

Cozy Chicago is a great spot for a relaxed meal. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We were seated quickly and the menu had many of the classic Thai restaurant options. We ordered vegetarian egg rolls, Pad Cashew with Tofu, and Pad See Ew with chicken. The entrees were pretty good, and the egg rolls were stellar. I also got the Thai Iced Tea which was great. They also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available. Everything was perfect! The atmosphere of the restaurant is so amazing and I love the decorations of all the different trinkets. I can't wait to bring more family and friends here! See you again guys!

This is my go to spot every time I'm by Wrigley Field. Incredible presentation time, energy and love from the Owner. This is a must stop if you're in the neighborhood very eclectic restaurant with bobble heads, baseballs, and memorabilia from the chef and the Cubs.

I try not to give bad reviews especially if the service and the friendliness of the server and host are good, but I must be truthful. The ambience is indeed cozy, with a lot of tchotchkes you would find in a 16 year old boy's room. Be aware that during cold season, the second door does not provide any barrier to the cold wind that rushes in each time someone comes through, brrrr Now let's get to the food: we had the chicken Pad Thai and the Penang curry with "beef". Both recommended by the server. I have never seen bright orange noodles for this dish before. The chicken was incredibly dry. The taste was OK. Now for the "beef" - I put it in quotes because I have never seen Beef that's gray - the texture was not pleasing and the taste was meh. My stomach Felt a bit queasy after having the curry slurry. The prices were standard $13-$14 Per entrée. We shared a $5 piña colada smoothie which was standard as well. I've had much much better Thai food in Chinatown. We also tried the shrimp rolls which were whole jumbo shrimp wrapped in wonton skin. Unique presentation and tasted like what a jumbo shrimp would. All in all, wouldn't come back unless there was no other option.

I don't think I spoke this whole meal I was truly hellbent on shoving everything in my mouth. Every mouthful was perfect and I will spend the rest of my life chasing after this high. We started with the cozy wings which are the best fried chicken wings I've ever had, the breading and fry is absolutely perfectly crispy and crunchy and the chicken underneath is juicy and glistening. The red curry salmon is a beautiful broth base with chunks of pineapple and pole beans topped with the flakiest, softest, perfectly steamed salmon. The pad thai has crunch from the peanuts, chew from the noodles, and a perfect blend of tamarind and sugar. The Thai salad topped with steamed shrimp is the way to go, the shrimp is, you guessed it, is PERFECTLY steamed, plump and with a great bite to it. The salad is thai-style spicy, overwhelming and jolting, every fresh cucumber slice, tomato chunk, and leaf of lettuce soaking up the citrus and chili, it's refreshing exterior now housing a burst of spice and lime. This meal was truly perfect and to cap it off, the dishware is so lovely and the plates are HEART-SHAPED. I HEART YOU TOO, COZY NOODLES AND RICE!!!!

This place seems consistently bland and flavorless. I have to drench everything in sriracha and salt. I asked for extra spicy x10... but it still was not spicy. Dry, flavorless, gnarly Thai food. Would not recommend. Food 1 Price 3 (relatively affordable)

Cozy's was my first foray into Thai food many, many years ago. I remember helping Chef Tee with lights when I worked at a local hardware store. To this day, I'm so glad he asked me to try the food. I've not been disappointed with the many dishes & appetizers I've had. Moving away from Chicago for a few years was really upsetting for me as there has never been Thai food quite like Cozy's at all, ever. Upon moving back, I was happy to see I could order delivery & the food is the same much like I remembered so many years ago. People might associate mac & cheese as comfort food, but for me it's always Cozy's Noodles. I can't be bothered to eat any other Thai food despite having many options near my new apartment. Favorites are crazy noodles, garlic chicken noodles, pad see ew, and pad woonsen. The crab rangoon is to die for, as well as baby egg rolls, pot stickers, & shrimp rolls. Decor of the restaurant has its own special charm, & the staff has always been wonderful. Whether you're nearby or need to order for delivery, Cozy's is easily the BEST choice.
