Nestled on Maple Avenue in Evanston, **Cozy Noodles & Rice** invites diners to indulge in a vibrant journey through Thai cuisine. This charming establishment has quickly become a beloved fixture, celebrated for both its authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere. Customers rave about the **Bamee Noodles**, featuring egg noodles adorned with BBQ pork, fried wonton, and crab meat, all enhanced with a sprinkle of crushed peanuts. The **Cozy Beef Noodle Soup** impresses with its rich broth and tender beef, a comforting dish for any day. Meanwhile, the **Cozy Ramen** options—both with chicken and crispy chicken—offer a delightful twist with creamy coconut milk broth, bean sprouts, and fresh cabbage. Regular patrons, like Lenn Karahalios, commend the consistent high quality and warmth of service, praising owner Bee for creating a welcoming environment akin to home.

Precious noodle shop with lovely decor and amazing food selections. Ample food and beverage selections that are beautiful as they are tasty. The owners were our host and server for the evening

I've gone to Cozy Noodle since I was a child and it continues to be my absolute favorite Thai food spot in Chicago. The restaurant has just opened at its new location and it's fresh, inviting, and has all of the charm of the previous location. The green curry and pad thai are my absolute favorites, both are incredibly flavorful and bright. And Bee provides such warm, welcoming service, she really makes you feel right at home. I cannot recommend Cozy Noodle enough!

I haven’t been back in Evanston since I graduated college 14 years ago and I didn’t even know how much I missed this Pad Thai!! Best Pad Thai EVER!! We also had the Pad See Ew which was amazing! Such a cute place and I’m so glad they’re still around with a new location

A genuine 5 star experience. We have lived in Roger’s Park for 1.5 years and we order Thai/Chinese/Asian weekly. We have tried many different restaurants and this one surpassed them all. Food: Incredible. I ordered a rice dish, a curry dish, and a noodle dish. Each quickly became my favorite. Service: Excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. Environment: I have never entered any Asian restaurant anywhere that was decorated my so uniquely and completely clean. It was like being in a clever museum store. Serious hygiene / sanitary measures in place. One item came out incorrectly and they quickly took it and made a new dish without any hassle or fuss. Note: gratuity which is listed as “service charge” is automatically added to your check if you dine in.

Fantastic & authentic Thai food ! We enjoyed Soup, appetisers like chicken satay & Shumai & Green curry ( spicy) & Massaman curry & were too good but best is yet to come !! Owner recommended us to try Sticky rice & Mangoes ( Thai & not Mexican) !! It was YUMMY ! Will surely visit again... Kudos for full credit !

I have been eating here since before Covid and they are one of my favorite places in Evanston. Wonderful food and service! I stopped by today and they started serving cucumber salads with entrees and added a lot of new menu items, I am very excited to continue going here :)

We already love Cozy, it’s one of our favorites. But today we happily experienced their new ‘refresh’ - we enjoyed new menu items (tamarind sauce chicken and the taro ‘fries’ appetizer were both outstanding), and wonderful new presentations on some old favorites, plus beautiful new dishes and serving pieces. The service was, as always, attentive and friendly. The decor is the same, with kitschy collectibles in every view. The gorgeous cheesecake ‘bites’ dessert was {chef’s kiss}. Highly recommended!!

Thrilled with the new location — everything is light and bright and elegant. But still eclectic with the tchotchkes. The food is as good or better than always. It’s always so beautifully prepared. Best Thai!!!
