MUST TRY - Amazing food! I have a gluten allergy and the owner confirmed GF options. All the food was so fresh and tasty. Real ingredients. Best Thai food I have ever eaten!! We ordered - crab Rangoon, thai fried rice with chicken, pad see-iew with chicken, Thai crying steak. While I could not eat all b/c GF It all looked so great. There was so much left over but oddly no grease in bowls when we transferred to take home boxes. The owner Anna was so nice and so great to see small business owners succeeding. Check this place out!!! read more

Delicious food! Cute food space! The chef came and even said hi! I would love to come back to this neighborhood spot.

Anna's Thai is a must! We first came across this restaurant on a Friday night, looking for a quick bite. After devouring our red curry and pad Thai, the owner Anna, stopped by to check in. She thanked us for stopping by and mentioned that she does private 5 course dinners (for up to 8) on Tuesday nights. We immediately took her up on the offer and scheduled a meal with a few of our friends. The meal was unreal. Amazing flavors, presentation, and experience. Getting to hear the context behind each dish from Anna was such a treat. We will be coming back for this experience again and bringing more friends! And in the meantime, we have found our new go to Thai spot! read more

Anna's is a new Thai restaurant that opened in late January 2022! It's BYOB! The seating area is attractively appointed with tables nicely spaced out. Our party of four had the Pad Thai, Pad See-lew, Panang Curry and Egg Noodle with BBQ Pork. For starters we shared the Fried Tofu and the Crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious. They have different spice levels - the medium was not that spicy, I'd probably go for hot next time. Our server gave us some extra chili oil to spice up the food to our liking. The Crab Rangoon had a crisp coating that reminded me of a samosa. The Fried Tofu was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The servings are pretty generous so we were pretty full but decided to share one Thai Custard for dessert. Nice options for veggie/vegan people. Our server was very helpful and attentive. Street parking was easy on Montrose. The bathroom was clean and tidy. We will definitely be back. read more

Yum! I ordered the pad ke mao with beef lunch special and a Tom kha soup with tofu. Everything was flavorful, the beef was quality and not chewy or gamey. I noticed also the mushrooms in the soup were fresh (many places use canned). The waitress (wish I caught her name, 20-something brunette) was welcoming and had a pleasant vibe about her. The women's bathroom was clean and so was the rest of the restaurant. Leads me to believe they are a business that likes to keep their kitchen clean as well! read more

Welcome Anna's! It's great to have a wonderful Thai restaurant back in this location. I cannot say enough about the food! We tried a group of items just to experience a selection and we loved them all. The steamed pork shumai was worth the wait. It was delicate and delicious. I loved the Tom Yum Soup! It had large pieces of chicken and none of the giant tomato filler a lot of Thai places add. The glass noodle salad (with shrimp) was a good portion. The dressing was tangy without being over sweet or sour, an excellent combination. We split a pad Thai tofu. The tofu was well cook and plentiful. Thai custard was a flavorful finish to a good meal. Anna came out and welcomed us personally-a very nice touch. I will definitely be eating here frequently! read more

I ordered take out from this restaurant. I was very disappointed. Although I ordered 2 dishes (which may have been the wrong ones), I would not go back. Basil Stir Fried Over Rice ($17.99) with tofu Pad See-iew ($16.99) with chicken There is also an online surcharge of 68 cents were dish. I like basil stir fried rice with a fried egg but this would be an additional $2 so did not order it. I note the prices because the portions in the take out containers were measly. And the food itself... was not good. The Pad see-iew noodles were fused together and a terrible texture. The sauce was watery and did not have good flavor. The chicken had a slightly charred flavor which was not great with the watery sauce. Without doubt, this was the worst pad see-iew I've ever had. The tofu in the basil stir fried rice tasted as if it had sat some time before being fried and had an unpleasant texture. The flavor of this dish was better than the pad see-iew. This restaurant may be better in person but I do not have plans to go back given my experience with food that I struggled to finish because it was so bad and was much more expensive than other Thai restaurants I go to. read more

Anna's Thai Kitchen - The best way to spice up Friday is with authentic Thai cuisine from Anna's Thai Kitchen! - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Anna's is the best thai food in Chicago (and the best Thai food I've ever had!) hands down. My family and I love visiting Anna and having her share her culture with us through her delicious food. Some of our favorites are the pad woon sen, chu chee salmon, crab rangoon, taro tango, thai crying tiger, pad thai, cashew nuts over rice, and phra ram rong song (the peanut sauce is to DIE for). Basically, we haven't had a dish at Anna's that we haven't loved (and she is very accommodating for dietary restrictions, I'm vegan but my family isn't and we all can't get enough of the food). To top it all off, Anna and her staff are so kind and welcoming. Truly a neighborhood gem, and a destination for anyone visiting Chicago! read more

Wow! What a trip! Anna's Thai Kitchen rocketed me across the planet and decades. The voluptuous flavors of her chicken khao soi satisfied me even better than my memories of bowls I enjoyed in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Even 5 stars doesn't do justice to the khao soi recently added to Anna's menu! I first tasted this coconut curry noodle soup while visiting Northern Thailand, and I must try it whenever it appears on menus in the US. At Anna's Thai Kitchen, a tender chicken leg joins rich coconut curry broth, contrasted with slivers of crunchy onion and lemongrass(?), and two kinds of noodles. Remarkably, Anna recaptures the flavorfulness of chicken that I recognize from 21st century Thailand & Vietnam, as well as the US before its bicentennial. Softer rice noodles bathe in broth while crispy egg noodles retain crunch and lightness standing up at the bowl's edge. As with great ramen broth, the layered heat of curry spice unites this flavor bomb! Anna herself warmly greeted our table to hear our thoughts. What I didn't get to share in person: her restaurant re-opened my eyes to the possibilities of Thai cuisine in the US. For me, the last such chef was Pam Panyasiri. In Hell's Kitchen, Pam's Real Thai exploded New Yorkers' taste buds for almost 20 years before the pandemic forced closing its two locations. While many other restaurants serve competent Thai cooking, they struggle to reflect the best Thailand can offer us -- reflecting the remarkably low prices most diners take for granted. A meal at Anna's Thai Kitchen may cost a few more dollars, but patrons also enjoy elbow room with comfortably spaced tables that help one relax and savor deliciousness. How wonderful to book a table at Anna's and savor time travel to Chiang Mai and New York City! read more

Happy to hear that Anna's Thai Kitchen served halal meat. Very rare to find in Chicago. The service and ambiance were good. Recommendations: Crying Tiger was cooked well with a delicious sauce. The only disappointment was the dish came out cold. Lime chicken was flavorful fried chicken with an. amazing sauce. Do not recommend: Butterfly P summer drink. Coconut water Beef Pho soup. If the Crying Tiger came out hot, I probably would have given the place a 4 out of 5 stars. Anna the owner came out a greeted the diners which was a nice touch. Will be back to give them another chance. Wishing them the best of luck. read more

The curry is HOT, which is the fault of my wimpy tastebuds, but the flavor was great. The crab rangoon is excellent and not just a sad little triangle of cream cheese. I tried something new, which was the omelet over rice, and it was a huge hit! We also got a custard dessert that was really good. The place is really cute, the staff was nice, and the location is right off the brown line so really easy to get to. Will definitely come back and try some fun drinks. read more

I thought that Anna's was not a bad place to stop in for some food. I ordered the veggie pad Thai. The veggies were fresh and the portion was great. I will say that it was a bit too saucy and salty for my liking, but still edible especially if split up over a few meals. Service was great and I thought the space was nice and clean. I do have other go-to places when I want to have Thai food, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying something else at Anna's. read more

Anna's Thai Kitchen is an absolute gem! I joined a friend for dinner and we were delighted with everything we ordered- including the crab cake appetizer and drunken noodles. The Betel leaf herb wrap is an absolute must-have. I have never seen it on another menu, and the flavor was beyond delicious. In addition the service was fantastic (thank you, Charlie and Catherine!). I had the good fortune to speak with Anna (the owner) and it clear this is her passion and calling. Run- don't walk!- to Anna's Kitchen! PS- BYOB!! read more

Omg, I have been eating Thai food in the city since 1988, and this was literally the best Thai food I have ever eaten. You can tell the recipes have been handed down through the generations and all dishes are prepared with love. It is a family owned business and Anna, the chef, even came out to say hello. You must try the betel leaves with coconut (pictured) to start: it's a burst of 100 brilliant flavors in one bite. The pork larb melts in your mouth and the lime chicken is delicious. The crispy pork cutlet with crunchy garlic was out of this world. Headed back soon to try more dishes! read more

We randomly found Anna"s Thai Kitchen looking for a BYOB on our way to a concert near by. I could not have been happier in this discovery. The ambiance was perfect for a date night. Everything we ordered was delicious! Definitely will be coming back in the future to try more of the menu. I highly recommend this for eat in or take out. read more

I enjoyed this place when they used to deliver to my apartment. They only deliver in a one mile radius and refused my $60 order because I am 100 feet out of their "delivery range" :( this never was a problem in the past. I'm in the same neighborhood as this restaurant. Person on phone told me to use an address closer to their restaurant and meet them there for pick up..?? They either need to deliver to their customers again or get on the delivery apps. read more

I'm extremely picky about Thai food. So many places here in Chicago definitely put a midwestern spin on their dishes and I've been frustrated again and again.... Until I came to Anna's. First of all, as a disabled person, the restaurant is set up very accessible for people of all abilities. It's sparkling clean inside, elegantly decorated (perfect for a first date!) and the servers are wonderful. The real attraction is the FOOD, of course! Everything we ordered was so far beyond our expectations! I loved the crab curry, it's was so dramatically served but the flavor had some warm heat to it and lots of real crab! The rangoons..., I never want any other Rangoons in my life! And my friend ordered the crying tiger and said it was the best she had ever had! I think Anna's made her love Thai food for the first time! Please support this hidden gem on your next night out, you won't be disappointed! read more

The best Thai food in Chicago. Asian / Woman owned family business. Will forever be my go to Thai place. All food is made to order, fresh, and when I ask for spice it's actually spicy. Anna always checks in at the end of my meal to ask how it was. Love it here! read more

I saw Anna's Thai Kitchen featured in the - new places to check out - section of a local restaurant blog. I am always willing to check out a new Thai place to compare it with all the other Thai spots around. Chicago's north side certainly doesn't have a shortage of Thai restaurants for dine-in, delivery, or carry out and I have tried them all so I know of what I speak. Anna's is located on Montrose near Ravenswood Near the brown line. There are some good dining options around there but this is the only Thai place. It's BYOB and there is a liquor store next door which is convenient. The interior is typical Thai restaurant. A few decor pieces on the wall with the expected restaurant tables and chairs. Not uncomfortable but also don't expect to impress your date. They did a nice job with the bathroom. We started with the Crab Ragoon. A very generous portion. Fresh, crispy and well stuffed with filling. More than enough for 3 people to share. I ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp medium spicy with a side of peanut sauce and my companion ordered the Rama Noodles with Chicken. Rama is usually served with rice so this was a nice change of pace. The portion size was very generous and more than enough for one person and enough to share. Great value for the price. The shrimp were fresh and well prepared - not overcooked which sometimes is an issue at Thai places. There was a lot of shrimp. Overall a very flavorful dish - good amount of spice and the peanut sauce was good as well. Same for my companion's Rama Noodles. He could not finish his and took the rest to go. The service was very attentive and overall a really nice experience. I will add Anna's to my shortlist of Thai places in Chicago. I would like to see them add outdoor dining once the weather warms up a bit if that is possible. Next time I will be sure to snap some pics. read more

I really can't get over how great the Pad See-iew is here. It's absolutely delicious and the portions are generous. It's always very fresh, and it never leaves me feeling weighed down after I eat it. I feel like it's super hard to find take out that actually makes you feel good and nourished, but this dish does it. The scrambled egg added in will always be my favorite. You're killing it, Anna's. Thanks for another amazing lunch. read more

Great food, nice variations on Thai staples. Service was friendly and informative. Can't wait to go back!

Saw this place open down the street and have been there 3 times since it opened! The Panang Curry and Pad Woon sen are amazing, veggie egg rolls are also very good. They have an awesome lunch deal as well that I will probably end up taking advantage of at least once a week. I would absolutely recommend trying this place out and I'm so excited that they're open! read more

I really like trying new restaurants and support local businesses when possible. I ordered delivery, and the to go portions were good which I appreciated but the food was okay. I did notice there were two service charges that I have no clue what they were for and then the delivery fee for being like a block or two out of the delivery zone was like almost 10 dollars separate from these fees. Although small fees, all of charges did add up and it felt overpriced our meal overall. One positive is that the spice level is good here if you like spicy food. read more

This restaurant is simply amazing! The food is delectable and the atmosphere is charming. The service is exceptional! I had the drunken noodles and they were the best I've ever had. I've had a lot of Thai food, but this place is off the charts! They must visit. read more

Anna's Thai Kitchen is fantastic! I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free. Not only do they accommodate that, the food is outstanding. I've eaten from there four times now getting something different each time and have never been disappointed. They're good for pickup, but eating there is great too. The atmosphere is understated and cozy, and it's BYOB. I'd strongly recommend Anna's to anyone. I see someone left a one-star review. If you look at their history almost all their reviews are one star. Not sure what their issue is, but maybe they should deal with that instead of blaming every restaurant in town. read more

I am not Thai; yet, the food here tastes like my Mom made it herself. Highest compliment I know how to give. Amazing food, amazing service, and overall just amazing. read more

Excellent! The crab ragoon was large with cheese and crab mix. The ragoon sauce was light and good. We had the salmon Cho chee which was spicy, no vegetables, the salmon skin crispy and the rice was good. The tofu pad this was excellent and you can order the heat. The mango sticky rice was fantastic. read more

Every dish was perfectly done, the crab Rangoon were pieces of art. Anna was there and all was lovely. There was a heat to the dishes that almost all of us loved. One of our party found some of the curries too hot. We were ready to order another that was mild, but told the curry could not be more mild -- if we understood correctly. Also we could have all just been recovering from the one we ordered hot and everything felt equally hot. But we ordered Pad See Ew. And all was good. In the end, masterful Thai, will definitely be back again. The best of places to support. Delicious but also feels ethically good. read more

So glad to have stumbled across this place. We enjoyed every thing we ordered! The stand out dishes were definitely the taro tango starter (deep fried tofu skin with the yummiest toppings) and the Thai crying tiger (thinly sliced Thai rib eye steak and the best sticky rice). The service was wonderful and Anna even came by to check on us. Putting this on my list of places to remember when I'm back in town! read more

Authentic Thai! Just as you would have in Thailand. I had the Tofu Pa See Ew lunch special with the vegetable spring rolls and it brought back memories of Bangkok! I will definitely go back to try the curries & other dishes! I wish Anna success with this new restaurant! read more
