Really glad I stopped by this place! I got the kao soy and my dad got the crispy pork belly. Mine was pretty standard but I really enjoyed the pork belly when I tried it! I definitely want to come back and try more of the menu. read more

This was some of the worst Thai food I've ever had. All the dishes were way too sweet and not good flavor. Typically I think good ethnic places don't always have the best reviews so I tried this but it was sooo bad read more

100000% best Thai restaurant I have been to. Mango sticky rice is and special and so good! I have never liked stock rice before having it here. Basil chicken is amazing!! So flavourful and there is so much meat, thank you!!! It was a teeny bit dry when compared to the creamy curry, but still amazing. It's sad how much flavourless Thai I have consumed. The yellow curry was phenomenal. Well balanced in every way. I would order everything again! Right off the train station so super convenient location, convenient to Lincoln Park, area feels safe, there's some parking in front. read more

Three stars, but I'd try it again. CASH ONLY I got the spring rolls, which I wasn't a fan of - the wrappers were like eating a sheet of printer paper, but the stuffing was very fresh, and the sauce was pretty good. I also go the pad Thai with chicken & shrimp. It was a very large portion packed into the container. Not much protein however. The rice noodles were more of a vermicelli shape (I'm used to more of a fettuccine type flat noodle) which was fine. Flavor was good, but nothing special. The place itself was very bright and clean, and the people were friendly. I got my take away order quickly while I waited. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** Hidden little gem right off the Wellington stop. Very reasonably priced, great food, and quick service. It's also BYOB! I ordered the Vegetable Panang Curry with Fried Tofu and the curry was delicious! Great balance of sweet and spicy...but, half of the dish was filled with jalapeños! I enjoy some spice, but I spent more time picking them out of my curry. Bonus points because their menu has a "vegetarian" symbol. They also make Gluten-Free dishes too! PS: Cash ONLY!! They have an ATM inside the restaurant. read more

Got there at 9:15. Website says they close at 9:30. Front door says they close at 10:00. I was told they already closed and they haven't kept those hours in Over 2 years. ATK - you're a business where people may want to spend money. Post correct info. This place looked like a far cry from what it what is was previously. Probably for best. read more

First of all it was cash only!!!! And came in with our family and was highly disappointed! That ain't Thai food! It was horrible! I was so looking forward to a warm delicious soup and I ordered the Boat Noodle....it was terrible! It was beef noodles and the broth was a dark soy sauce...everything was horrible! read more

Having visited Thailand recently, I've grown fond of their food. Is it possible to find authentic Thai cuisine in Chicago? I decided to embark on that quest to taste those flavors found abroad. Andy's Thai Kitchen certainly is a great choice! Their Pad Ped Catfish was very delicious, including all the authentic ingredients I tried of the same dish in Thailand. I especially was impressed they used the finger roots and baby round Thai eggplants. These two ingredients aren't the easiest to find in Chicago Asian markets, so I'm glad to have found a restaurant that can cook up delicious, affordable and authentic Thai food. * Make sure to bring some cash as they don't take credit cards! read more

Omgsh this place is good. Got takeout for the first time this week (COVID-19 APPROVED) and we tried the pad Thai and chicken Panang curry. Both were fantastic , but we think the Panang curry is one of the best we've had. Very generous portions and lots of chicken in there. Also comes with jasmine rice . I will say we got the jalapeños / hot peppers on the side, and I assume if those were in the Panang I would've thought it was way too hot for me . So if you're sensitive to spice , make sure you ask for them on the side ! 10/10 recommend ! read more

I don't have a lot of expectations for Thai places but this one was definitely nicer than your typical hole in the wall vibe! They are cash only though, but there is an ATM. Shrimp satay was amazing, great peanut dipping sauce and the shrimp was delicious. I got a mussaman curry dish with chicken to deviate from my standard green curry and it was great - the sweet potato was my fav part but I wish there were maybe a little more vegetables and a little less sauce! read more

Tonight was our first Thai food dinner since relocating here from Los Angeles seven weeks ago. So, why did I pick a cash only / BYOB restaurant? Simple; Andy's Thai Food had the same look and feel as the abundance of Thai restaurants we left back in L.A. I'm kind of paying homage here to a city I was never very fond of. L.A. / SoCal do two things VERY right: Chinese Food - The San Gabriel Valley Thai Food - Anywhere in a 20 mile area surrounding Thai-town. So with this in mind, we picked up a bottle of dry Riesling, stopped at an ATM machine and headed over to Andy's Thai. The people working here were very accommodating in curating our first supper: *Tom Kai Shrimp Soup was rich and flavorfully and was an excellent start *The Crab Fried Rice was great *Spicy Papaya Salad brought the necessary heat factor into our dinner that just worked *Chicken with green currie sauce was crazy good, especially when we mixed it with our crab rice Everything was terrific, and we got out of "Dodge" for under $60. Now (for us), this is how Thai food is supposed to go. I did notice in my search tonight that Chicago has something L.A. doesn't have - prix fixe Michlen rated Thai restaurants (Herb - Arun's). This will be my next "Gotta Know" Thai food moment. That aside, we really enjoyed our dinner tonight at Andy's Thai food! read more

There are many delicious Thai places in the city. Andy's Thai kitchen was good, nothing special. We didn't dine in, but rather order for takeout. Not sure how the portions play out when you dine in, but our take our meals were HUGE. The drunken noodles were not on the menu, but they were able to honor this Thai classic and make it for us. We also ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp. Both dishes were good, but I think I enjoyed the drunken noodles more. The down side is Andy's is that it is a cash only establishment. Kind of unfortunate since many people rarely carry cash anymore! Most likely, we will not be visiting regularly even though it's so close by to us. The cash only establishment really is inconvenient. The parking situation can be tough since Lakeview/Lincoln Park are all zoned after 6pm. There are pay for parking up front and on the side streets nearby. read more

Run don't walk to this place. Seriously some of the best Thai food I've had in my entire life. Their Pad See Ewe is to die for, I crave it literally every single day. Warning that their fried rice is SPICY, even if you ask for the mild temperature. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant is always clean and nice looking. Make sure you have cash because they're cash only when you eat in!! When you order takeout, order through their website so they get all the $$ -- this place better be around forever because it's now officially my go-to for Thai in the city read more

Really liked this restaurant, vibe and presentation was really good. I would definitely go again. However, I don't think I would order some of the same dishes due to personal preference. read more

Super picky about my Thai food because I've been eating Thai food for as long as I can remember and once you go to Thailand and eat Thai food there, it's never the same anywhere else. BUT I will say that this place was great. It was only my first time here but the food was good!! I split the grilled squid appetizer with my boyfriend. I tried the squid by itself and it was tastefully grilled. The fish sauce on the side was HOT like it made my nose run (I can't handle spicy stuff that well by the way) but it was so good I kept dipping the squid in it and eating it despite the tears running down my face (okay it wasn't that bad but it was really spicy for me). I had the Sukiyaki Noodle Soup (which looking back now sounds more Japanese than Thai...). Was hesitant about getting this at first because there aren't photos or reviews of people getting it on here! I posted one so people can start relishing in this tasty dish. The broth is amazing- it reminds me of a hot and sour soup but sweeter and also spicer. I have no idea how they made this but it was really delicious and flavorful. My boyfriend got pad thai with chicken and even this was good- not drenched in too much fish sauce or oyster sauce. Also- everything is very decently priced and the portions are huge. I will definitely go back because I saw so many things on the menu I wanted to try. I just wish it was closer to me!! read more

Not as good as I had hoped for. The gyozas were tasty but the side order of brown rice was stale and crunchy. Steamed vegetables were ok. Service was surprisingly slow even though the place was empty. read more

Very nice BYOB/cash only Thai place that was able to accommodate our group of 7 on a Tuesday evening. The place itself is pretty small so coming during the week was ideal vs the weekend. Thai Iced Tea was awesome...had 2 Crab Rangoon was pretty damn good Chicken skewers were amazing Green Curry with chicken and eggplant was damn good! Very good flavor and the right amount of spice. I looked around at everyone else's dish and they all looked and smelled good. Service was very good even when the place got pretty full. Solid thai here and I plan to come back for more goodies. read more

Updating review because as much as I want to love ATK, I feel like what you get can be kind of inconsistent - last time I ordered delivery, pad see ew was sort of bland and had mysterious nuts at the bottom (they turned out to be peanuts, but I have severe nut allergies so was a bit freaked out). Tom yum was also lacking in flavor. For the price and convenience I still crave it, but I think my orders in the future will be limited to spring rolls, gyoza, and green curry and will continue my hunt for the best Thai in Chicago. read more

Pork belly and egg rolls are a must. Duck curry was one if the best I have ever had. Fried rice, if you are into that, is great. Tod mun perfect. Next time we will bring a bottle of wine to enjoy. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Came close to closing time on a Friday night. First things first. It's byob. There's a market on the corner. Taking care of that should be first. The place is small but not in the loud way a lot of Thai take out places sometimes are. We ordered crab rangoons for an app. If you mess those up you be allowed to serve Thai food. They didn't mess these up so still allowed to serve. For dinner the three of us split two dishes. We had the pad see ew with chicken and a curry dish. Both were good but my heart is always with the PSE. Solid inexpensive Thai food that deserves a chance. read more

ATK's our once-a-week go-to for solid Thai. Andy's delicious chicken satay, pad Thai with tofu, basil chicken done Thai spicy, and sunshine beef (think "jerky") make for a fine meal! read more

I love this place so much! Great prices and great portions. The food came out super fast and the Khao Soi was the best. The mango sticky rice too was amazing. I live in the suburbs and would go all the way to Chicago to get it. Highly recommend!!! read more

This spot is a staple! Have eaten here a dozen or so occasions and never leave hungry nor dissatisfied. Expansive menu, even more so than most tbai restaurants in Chicago, similar cities. Some dishes more authentic than others but at large much more authentic than indy thai cuisine. The esan sausage is my go to along with their thai style Tom yum noodle soup. I get a feed forward response of mouth beginning to water typing this. The noodle soup is not simply Tom yum soup as Americans know it but is actually less lemongrass forward and more of a chicken broth with lime juice, tangy, crushed peanut, ground pork, BBQ pork, hand made fried wonton, beansprouts and rice noodles. It is absolutely Ballin. Other dishes great as well. Negative is poor spacing in small place for covid, cash only. read more

I love Andy's. Definitely one of my top Thai places in Chicago!! The curries are all really flavorful and spicy, and huge portions as well. BYOB too which makes this a super casual, inexpensive, and filling place to eat! read more

BYOB? Yep! Easily accessible from transit? Yep! Right off the brown line Wellington stop. Pretty good food? Yep! Decided to check out Andy's last Friday with some friends, and surely Andy did not disappoint! We were looking for two things... Thai food and somewhere that won't break the bank. Check and check! I tried their Basil Pork Leg ~ red braise pork hock, basil leaf, mushroom, garlic, & chili. A little heavy on the chili? Yes. Not sure if it's possible to request mild spice as they didn't ask upon ordering, but if you're reading this ask for them to take it down a level! It definitely was a struggle fighting off that heat and finishing off the second half of the dish. But overall, that was one damn tasty dish. The sliced pork was super tender and the mushrooms definitely soaked up all the sauce. If it wasn't for the case of cold beer we had brought along I'm not sure I would've survived how spicy that dish was. Other than that, be sure to have cash on hand to pay up as it is cash only. 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Big portions, great food. Amazing Thai. Papaya and beef salad delicious. Cash only but atm located inside. Fast service and friendly

I had heard a lot of good things about Andy's Thai Kitchen and was excited to visit last week for a weeknight dinner. It is cash-only and does not allow for reservations, but inconveniences aside, the food was bomb. We started with the Tom Yum soup, which I got with shrimp. The flavors were explosive, and the level of spice was great. My only gripe is the $4 upcharge for shrimp, which I was not told about when ordering. My friends and I also shared the Catfish Pad Ped, Wild Boar Pad Ped, and Khao Soy noodles. The catfish and wild boar curries were great. I loved the sweet flavors and the spicy kick with each bite. I've never had wild boar before, but it was tender and delicious. The catfish was also crispy and yummy. Will definitely come back to get my curry fix! read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out, despite it being a bit of a hike from our home. We ordered the pad see ew with chicken, khao soi, and the tom yum soup. The portions were huge -- could have easily fed a family of four with that amount of food -- but the quality was "meh" at best. I was particularly disappointed in the pad see ew. Half of what was crammed in the to-go container were large pieces of chewy/rubbery tasteless chicken. The noodles themselves were alright, but were dry and stuck together. We ended up throwing out the majority of the dishes, mainly due to the fact that we knew they wouldn't make good leftovers. Needless to say, we will opt for another option in the future. Also heads up; if you plan on calling in & picking up, they are cash only! read more

Not one of the many people cooking in the kitchen, taking orders, or packaging to-go orders was wearing a mask. The only person who was wearing one was the waitress and when I asked her about it she shrugged and said "we don't require them to wear a mask". Lost my appetite, paid my bill and left Such a disappointment following after Penny's Noodle. read more

Great food at a good cost. My favorite is pad see ew and also lad nar but everything I've tried is tasty. Definitely get the crab rangoon.

This is not your typical Pad Thai type of affair. Six of us dined in on a fiery, summery day and with the unfortunates of a broken AC unit at ATK. But we had our cash and empty stomachs. Nothing was going to stop us. We ordered a variety of dishes. My favorites were the kai tod, marinated pork neck, pak prik khing crispy pork, garlic pork ribs, duck in red curry, and crab fried rice.The kai tod is deep fried, marinated chicken with spicy Thai sauce. It isn't your typical fried chicken with heavy breading and the sauce is mildly spicy. It also doesn't look very appealing but I felt like one plate was too little to go around. All three of the pork dishes were excellently done. It may seem like we over-ordered the pork but I assure you it was not repetitive and each were distinctively flavored. The duck in red curry was interesting in which it had pineapple, grapes, and tomato. It was rather light for a curry-based entree. The crab fried rice was a pleasant surprise. The crab meat was sweet and strong. I kept digging into the plate like it was all mine. We also tried the pad Thai shrimp omelet and pad see ew with Chinese broccoli. They were typical and decent, but I would not specifically re-order those as the menu has much more to offer. The Thai iced coffee was a slight letdown. It was overwhelmingly sweet with very little caffeine. read more

Great authentic thai dishes, we got deep-fried morning glory salad (sweet and sour), boat noodles, century egg stir-fry with chicken and crispy basil, and kapi fried rice. Everything was very flavorful with lots of herbs. The boat noodles had very thick soup like it should be (beefy and herby). Kapi fried rice was a but salty so don't mix all of the sauce with the fried rice. My favorite dessert was the coconut ice cream (they imported it from Thailand). Get this! the banana sticky rice with peanuts was great too. Cash only! They have an ATM in the restaurant as well. read more

Always hot and delicious, ATK serves large portions and the produce here is always especially outstanding. My favorite is the Pad See Eww, which is so savory and sweet. I usually order with tofu as my protein and it is very good. This BYOB spot is usually quite hopping, and there is a liquor store next door that carries Thai beer (which is a lovely accompaniment if you like beer). Have never had anything other than a delicious and filling meal here and everyone I bring here loves it! read more

i freaking love ATK! i got the pad see ewe and cashew chicken for take out. both solid options at any thai restaurant but especially at ATK. pad see ewe: tbh its soooo good. lots of vegetables in it too. the noodles are wider than other pad see ewe's i've had but that's a good thing i think. when i opened the container when i got home (because i did take out) at first i couldnt find the noodles because they were all on one side of the container which was weird but when i found them it was good 9/10 cashew chicken: another solid choice. i wish the cashews would be a little bit crunchier but what are u gonna do about it. not that much chicken. it's also kinda spicy which i liked but if you dont like spice then definitely don't eat those red pepper things. they also have those good mushrooms and canned pineapple in there which are some of my fav ingredients for asian food. 8/10 i dont really like rice but it came with white rice. my friend likes rice though so she ate it and said it was good 10/10 because it was just rice go to ATK it's awesome!!! :---) read more

Andy's Thai Kitchen - two bowls of food on a table - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is one of my absolute favorite places to grab a bite in Lakeview! I've eaten in numerous​ times and ordered pick up as well. If you're dining in be aware that it's CASH ONLY! If you're ordering for pick up you have the option to pay via credit card online. I know, I don't understand it either. But don't let that get in between you and awesome Thai food! The restaurant itself is fairly small and easy to find just next to the Wellington brown line stop. Expect a wait if it's evening on the weekend. They have a nice system​ that'll text you when your table is ready so you can feel free to go about your business until it's your turn. Did I mention the food is awesome? It is! There are​ tons of great options for all kinds of diets including vegetarian and vegan options. I've never had anything I didn't like from here and the portions are generous. My personal favorite? The Gyoza. Simply amazing. read more

For a place that advocates really authentic Thai food, this did not meet my standards. Starting off with positives, my waitress was really nice, the restaurant was cutely decorated and I liked the music! But the food definitely lacked Thai flavors. The massaman curry was watered down and the kao soy didn't have the perfect blend of flavors. I went to Thailand just two years ago and it didn't match what I had there. I know it's hard to emulate but they had my expectations so high and I was disappointed. I don't know if I'd come back since I had food from other Thai restaurants that definitely matched in flavor better The beef appetizers were really good though!! read more
