Pronounced "Toe-WAH" and meaning “come again” in Korean the restaurant has a reputation of being kid friendly and definitely caters to families. TTOWA specializes in traditional, but approachable Korean cuisine with a modern twist. The chef will make anything in kid portions or will create a new item for not-so-adventurous eaters. After your meal, the owners always bring out a small smoothie for the kids which will make them want to "come again!"

Kristy Pepping said:  Mickey Finn's Brewery serves handcrafted beer for the parents and great burgers and wings for the kids. They also feature free live music on weekends and a loyalty program where the more you spend, the more points you earn toward future food discounts

Serving lunch and dinner

Yoli B said:  Restaurants that specialize in ramen have become quite popular and the newest is Ramen Shinchan in Rolling Meadows. The restaurant just went through a major expansion to accommodate the amount of hungry ramen seekers. Ramen Shinchan has daily specials, dumplings, and Japanese fried chicken, but the star of the show are the large bowls of ramen noodle soup. Whether it be hot or cold outside, the ramen is somehow comforting throughout Chicagoland's varying climate. Kids will love the open air kitchen and the fact that the place is quite loud, and parents will love the beer options and the bill!

Yoli B said:  When you walk into Bill's Pizza & Pub it feels like you have been transported to a Northern Wisconsin lodge. The place isn't for the faint of heart with the taxidermy animals on the wall or the peanut shells all over the floor. If you are able to look past the quirkiness you will begin to smell some of the best pizza in the area. The double-decker is king here, but the cracker thin crust runs a close second; just make sure you order a few of the fresh toppings and you will be very happy!

Please be aware that this place is not for those with nut allergies.
