Moo ping takeout. They give you 4 skewers per order but I got hungry so you only see three. They were yummy.
Nina H.

Multiple visits which include both dine-in and takeout warrant a review. I'm pleased there is a solid Thai joint that checks off all my boxes. They are close by, delicious and affordable. My recent visit was this weekend where I treated my parents out to lunch because I want them to try things out of their norm. They loved the food especially the Basil eggplant and the Tofu and Chicken Pad-See-Ew. The Tom Kha soup was new for all of us and had interesting flavor. I like that this location unlike other Thai places offers Moo Ping too which I love. The service was courteous and swift and if you can time it right, parking is available in their lot. Otherwise you'll have to resort to the streets for carryout and dine in.

Mixed Vegetables Entree with beef and fried Tofu appetizer lunch special
Sonam P.

Came for lunch on NYE with friends around 12:30pm. It was easy to get elated right away and the older lady is super sweet and accommodating. We saw many do take out orders here so they were not that busy inside. The atmosphere is quiet and chill. I believe she is the owner or part of the family and was so kind and attentive. We decided to all order the Lunch Special and she helped give recos like the vegetable spring rolls being more crispy and the different choice of meats that go best with each dish, etc... I got the mixed vegetable entree as I wanted to have all the veggies and decided to get beef as I also got the fried tofu as my appetizer and the Tom Yum Chicken soup. I really enjoyed the stir fried vegetables. The beef was good as it was not that fatty as I don't like the fatty pieces of beef. I could have used a bit more of the gravy/sauce for my rice but the hot sauce helped with that :) I enjoyed the fried tofu with the sweet and sour sauce and the Tom yum soup was very flavorful and perfect to start the meal. It was just the right amount of food for lunch. I'm glad they have the lunch specials so you can try a lot of different things and also don't feel super stuffed after. I didn't have any leftovers. Overall, everyone at our table was satisfied with the food and I would definitely recommend this small Thai restaurant to others.

Pad see ew lunch special
Stacey W.

Did a delivery order here for lunch. The food was delivered in a timely manner. The portions was good, as well as the variety in the lunch special, for $9.50, its a decent price nowadays for what you get. We ordered 2 each of the pad see ew and the pad thai. I ate the pad see ew and it was good. A decent amount of chicken and broccoli for the amount of noodles. The egg roll with the dipping sauce was good too. The salad had a light dressing on it as well. Overall a decent meal for lunch.

Pad see ewe
Tiffany T.

My friend and I ordered the pad see ewe with chicken and we both thought it was really good! For $10, the portion size is good and the flavor was good too! The pad see ew was just sweet enough and salty enough for me. The chicken was juicy and the broccoli added a good crunch and texture to the dish. I do wish there was more broccoli though. Overall, the service was good! We called to order and they were quick and polite. And during pickup, it was the same :) Although the strip mall looks a little eh....from the outside, I think the restaurant and the food is definitely worth it to go here!

Tom yum noodle soup April 2018
Allison T.

I went here years ago because my friend looked up lunch special and they had a good deal. I was in the area one day when I was craving for "Tom Yum Noodle Soup". I called the restaurant to see if they can make tom yum noodle soup because it's a pretty popular street food in Thailand, that happens to be one of my favorite noodle soup dish (other than ramen and pho). I was so excited when the lady said they can make tom yum noodle soup so I was there so quick! I ordered the dish, along with vegetable pineapple fried ice. Out came my dish *tears* Tom yum soup with rice noodles inside. I told the lady that this isn't a tom yum noodle soup. It's supposed to be clear broth. She told me that they didn't have it on the menu, and I said that's why I called to see if you had it. There's a difference between tom yum noodle soup (clear broth) and tom yum soup (red broth typically with shrimp). The taste of the food is ok, but the restaurant is very 90s environment. When I've got, it was super empty, making me wonnder how they survive with business, but I've noticed there were a lot of pick up orders.

Everyone needs a clutch restaurant. The place that always comes through. It's convenient,…read moreconsistent, and, most of all, incredibly good. I've had many clutch spots over the years as I moved around, but it took me a minute to find my North Shore go-to. But here I am, a local for half a year now, and my go-to is Ni's, 100%. Lisa, the owner extraordinaire, is friendly, engaging, and an absolute customer service star. Not to mention a formidable chef. She has an obvious passion for food and its cultural history, and I love talking with her about it. The whole crew at Ni's is awesome and always happy to chat or handle any dish alterations. They clearly care about their clientele, and it's one of the things that keeps me coming back. My "must have" is the veggie summer rolls. I get them every time. Really, really good. And after living in the Vietnamese neighborhood of San Francisco for a few years, eating out almost daily, I've had my fair share of summer rolls. The produce at Ni's is always fresh, and I love how they cleverly use jicama for crunch. The rolls come with peanut sauce, but Ni's makes a delicious vegan fish sauce in-house that I go with almost every time. Banh Mi, Veggie Pho, Crispy Tofu, Fried Rice, I've had everything on the menu that is vegan or can be made so, and I'll gladly order them all again and again. This is not an all-vegan restaurant by any stretch (fear not, meat eaters), but Lisa goes out of her way to have options, and I've never been anything but satisfied. Even my kindergartner is into the veggie Pho broth and summer rolls, and he's not the easiest to please. Wilmette is lucky to have Ni's. I hope everyone knows that. They're tucked around the corner from the busier area of Central Ave and Wilmette Ave, and I've been doing my best to spread the word. "You've never been to Ni's?! Get the hell outta here.." So, if you didn't know, now you do. You're welcome.

I was visiting my home town from Washington DC. Had two bowls of Pho with my daughter, and some…read morecrispy spring rolls. Soup broth was okay. The rice noodles were overcooked. The spring rolls were probably previously frozen. They were not served with nouc mam, but rather a bottled sweet chili sauce. I really hope they read this review. We want them to flourish and to succeed. Grab that fish sauce! Make a real nouc mam! Make a real crispy double fried fresh spring roll! Your broth is pretty good. I hope the next time we go back, we will see a more authentic approach to your food.

This place is incredibly cute if you're looking for a nice ambiance. It was my first time trying it…read moreout and I loved the small attention to details. There was a live saxophone player and I loved the live flowers they had. Our waiter was extremely nice and took the time to explain the menu as well as their customer favorites. I order a Thai iced tea which wasn't bad but I prefer mine a little thicker and sweeter. It came in a thin tall glass which in theory was not a lot of drink. To start we order the chicken appetizer and fried beef on rice to share and unfortunately I did not snap a pic but these were listed under apps or shareables but the portions were extremely small. As our mains came I noticed that they were also small and each were around $20-$30 per plate. Not a bad thing if you don't eat much but I'm a big bang for buck type of gal. My family came to share and this place is a more fine dining thai restaurant which could explain the smaller portions. We ordered the pad Thai which was alright in my opinion I expected a little more flavor, the aubergine which was tossed vegetables as recommended by our waiter which was also ok not much flavor but beautiful plating though, and the coconut curry which was by far my favorite. If I were to come back here I would order that again, it was a nice light yet complex flavor profile which made me savor every bite. Overall good place for an upbeat fancier meal and I highly recommend the coconut curry braised chicken if you visit. Little pricey but that's just my opinion let me know what you guys think if you visit! Oh and they also give your receipt in a boat which they spin and leave a thank you card once you paid which was really cute.

Had lunch at this place for Asian fusion. It's a tired cuisine concept for sure, but they do it…read moregood. Nakorn is one of the many places in Evanston to get this kind of stuff. Mostly it focuses on Thai such as noodles and stuff with coconut. The prices aren't bad for the usually great quality. At lunch things are a bit cheaper. It's the main reason we came at this time. There's also plenty of good vegan and vegetarian choices and lots of spicy stuff or whatever. It's about $12 for a cocktail. There's a good amount of Asian inspired ones. Among these is the Bangkok Mule. This was made with kaffir lime infused vodka. Crisp and refreshing. The food is kind of pricey, which is the only bad thing. It's about $16 for an entree. The vegetarian choices include the Crispy Rice With Iceberg Wedge. A lame name but it was good. This had chili lime dressing, ginger, peanuts, shallots, tofu noodles, and white jelly mushrooms. Good just slightly Americanized Thai food. It's pretty authentic to be honest. The lunch is a good time to come and try some of the recently brought back menu, which has plenty of options for meat eaters, as well as vegans and vegetarians.

I stumbled into Mai Thai and Sushi (the sign on the awning out front says Tub Tim Thai) while I was…read moreon a walk actually to grab lunch from somewhere else, but Thai sounded so delicious I changed my plans upon passing Mai Thai and Sushi and walked in here instead. There is easy street parking available, but I was walking so did not need any parking. The restaurant space has plenty of tables and was clean. There were a few tables sat when I walked in. There are no signs to wait for host/seat yourself, so I stood at the front for a few minutes before who I think is the owner actually ended up coming up and helping. He was running around, very busy, helping prepare and serve the food to the tables that had already ordered. I asked if I could just place an order to go and just ordered a Pad Thai for carry out. The food came out honestly very quickly for just one person in the kitchen plus the owner, and with other tables already with tickets in, but I would not necessarily say this is a super fast in and out experience if you're in a rush. The take out container was packaged in a thick brown bag (no breaking through the bottom of the bag on the walk home here!) and the owner cashed me out himself. He was very kind but did not really engage in any of the small talk I attempted while waiting for the screens to load and payment to process. The Pad Thai was packed super neatly and cleanly in a plastic take out box. The serving size was deceptively large, and they pack in a heavy serving of noodles and bean sprouts and your protein of choice (chicken for me!) into this little box. I was shocked at how fresh everything tasted! This was a perfect Pad Thai and I will absolutely order this a million times over living right down the block. There were plenty of fresh bean sprouts, the noodles were cooked perfect, it wasn't dry or drowning in sauce, a little lime wedge on the side and I was a happy camper. I can't wait to come back and try more menu items, their amazing lunch specials, and support a local business. Thank you, Mai Thai and Sushi!

They made it from scratch not the can Thai ice tea you usually get from other restaurants. It had the right amount of sweetness. Then I ordered pineapple fried rice . The fried rice was very flavorful. For the entry I ordered Tom Yum's seafood noodle soup. It had mussels, Fish, shrimp, squid, and fish balls. The tom yum had the perfect spicy and sweetness to it . The one thing I wasn't a fan of was all the peanuts they put in it. The service was great and the food was delicious. The restaurant was spacious and they had a large tv in the bar area . They only offer street parking and it was free for 2 hours . Definitely will be back !
