Seafood Restaurant · Albany Park · 36 tips and reviews
Alisa Li: FRESH sushi at CHEAP prices. A true hole in the wall, carry out only, but the best bang for the buck. Call ahead to order. Most of the rolls are $2.95-7.95. A couple at $10. Sashimi & nigiri $1/piece
Dave Kaufman: Great carry out. Fresh, tasty. Never had a bad piece! Party platters are beautiful and a great variety.
Malvene: TAKE OUT ONLY and CASH ONLY--its a dive...it is cheap and the sushi is good or it wouldn't be on this list.

No Bodii: Their take out maki rolls are 50% before 6pm. Do it, it's worth it!

Clint Garwood: The Chicago Crunchy Crazy Signature Maki is a meal with a complex texture and spicy flavor that is as original as the people in this City. Try this dish as dine-in, carry out or delivery. Read more.

Mexican Restaurant · Near North Side · 360 tips and reviews
Paul Hannan: Very delicious meal and great staff. Well worth the wait... Or just do takeout.
Ryan: Takeout ordering is at the front, so don't wait in a long line. That said, the waiting for your takeout could not be more uncomfortable since there is almost nowhere to stand.
Rick Bendix: The braised shortrib soup was tasty. However, at $13.00 plus tax, the soup was very over-priced. Also, the wait time for a carry out order was excessive. I will not return to this restaurant.
Colleen Stebbs: Love that they have the white pizza option for those of us who aren't huge tomato lovers! Golden arm is my go to beer. I love taking out of towners here, they always want to come back!
caleb hanlon: Takeout is consistently solid.
Claire Pistek: Great beer and great pizza. Can't go wrong here. We love making our own pizza creations but it can get pricey. They do takeout too which is nice to avoid the swarming crowds.

John R: Get the lentil soup! They'll put it in a styrofoam cup if you order it for carry out.
tara defrancisco: Inexpensive awesome take out... hope this place lasts a long time. Cash only!
Autumn Choi: By far the best falafel I’ve ever had. Super affordable, friendly employees, and the lamb schwarma, lentil soup, and salads are all great.

Pizzeria · Andersonville · 28 tips and reviews
Derek Kucynda: Get an appetizer platter (choose 3) and make sure to hit up that $10 Monday Pizza deal (delivery and takeout too). The pan pizza is pretty average though...
Sirius Q: Ranalli's stands apart from other places of the same price range. Everything is homemade- including the pasta and pasta sauce. It is very authentic and wonderful. They also have a take out window.
Sharon Howerton: Fabulous pizza, lots of gluten free options, lots of variety; MKon-Fri happy hour 4 to 6 P including drink choices
Ricky Potts: There are two lines if you come early. The line on the left is for take out and the line on the right is for pizza orders. Be ready because they demand a quick response on your order.
James Broccoli: If you're ordering take out, they're usually late. But they make really good pizza and if the pizza is not up to standard, they were very kind and happy about refunding me.
Sabrina M: If you live in the neighborhood get take out. Super quick & you don't have to wait in a horrendous line for a table.

Korean Restaurant · Park West · 162 tips and reviews
Stephen Lawrence: Fish tacos, shrimp tacos and kalimbi tacos are so good, one of the best takeout places in Lincoln park
C Rey: Short rib and chili shrimp tacos are insane. The poutine is an absolute must and has to be shared. A few bottles beer/wine options make this a legit dinner option. Although I prefer takeout.
Jenna Walker: Pickled onions on the fish taco are good. Fun place to share a couple dishes
