To their credit, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is excellent! The Tom Yum soup here is mind-blowing in terms of flavor. Not a lot is customizable, in terms of proteins or heat. It is a certain level of spiciness and has a few tasty pieces of shrimp floating in it (not to mention straw mushrooms). But the flavor is perfection! It is everything you want in Tom Yum soup. It is spicy, but a nice "middle of the road," where it isn't bland in any way, but it's not going to burn your entire mouth. Less successful is the pad see ew, which was so sweet, it almost tasted like dessert noodles! The tofu especially, despite a good texture, almost tasted like candy, but in a very out of place sort of way. Despite a main course misfire, the soup here is so incredible that I could not imagine going lower than 4 stars. I would love to try more items...and try the soup again :D

***Update: As you can see, the owner has decided to reply unprofessionally to my review, rather…read morethan reaching out to solve the issue. I'll let his response to my concerns speak for itself. My family has been coming to this restaurant for years, which makes this experience not just disappointing, but very upsetting. We placed a pickup order totaling over $100. When I arrived, I was told our order had been given to another customer. Instead of immediately apologizing and remaking the food, the front desk employee spent several minutes trying to find the order, then called the customer who took it and asked him to come back with the food so it could be given to me. This is an obvious food safety issue. Once food leaves a restaurant, it should never be redistributed. When I calmly said I was not comfortable taking food that had already gone to someone else's home, the employee argued with me extensively, insisting it hadn't been touched. I had to repeatedly ask for the food to be remade. When the other customer returned, the employee made a pointed comment that the food would be thrown away "because we have to remake it," while looking directly at me. This felt accusatory, uncomfortable, and inappropriate, especially since the mistake was not mine. After waiting over 40 additional minutes, I was still charged the full amount. When I politely asked whether there would be any consideration for the delay, I was told, "No, we already lost money on you." Being spoken to that way after showing patience and understanding was shocking and deeply unprofessional. Unfortunately, the situation did not end there. When we later called, the same employee refused to provide a manager or owner's contact information, and refused to let us speak with a manager. We asked the employee for her name and she replied "What's YOUR name and what's your problem?" That comment alone reflects a serious lack of professionalism. We emailed management twice to address what happened and have received no response. Mistakes happen, but what is unacceptable is arguing with customers about food safety, making them feel blamed for expecting safe food, speaking to them disrespectfully, and then ignoring follow-up. Management should take this feedback seriously, because this experience reflects poorly on their business. We are very sad to no longer be customers of PNS after many years of enjoying their food.

The #9 seafood noodle platter ($12.99), but not spicy and #1 the peking noodle ($10.99). Both were good and the portion size was decent for the price. Chewy flavorful noodles with good add ins. The one drawback about these stalls in grocery store setting they always seem to be stingy about extra utensils, bowls or even napkins. They barely give you any napkins and they are usually extra thin too. I have to remember to bring my own napkins when dining at these locations.

The curry was flavorful, packed with veggies and chicken, and paired so nicely with the fluffy white rice. We also got the pad woon sen, and it had a nice wok hei flavor; the noodles were bouncy and paired well with the hot sauce on the table as well. Lastly, we got the mango sticky rice for dessert, and they give you SO MANY MANGOES. The rice was sweet, and you had enough mangoes to pair it with every single bite of rice. The service was good; they always made sure to check in on us and even brought us extra plates to let us share our dishes. The only con I have is that I asked for potatoes in my curry, but I didn't know it'd be a dollar extra. It's not a big deal, but I'd love to know when I ask. The ambiance was very Thai themed, and they had a lot of awards for their restaurant. It also caught my eye that they won a food bracket tournament with other restaurants I have heard of as well. There's also a large parking lot and lots of seats if you want to dine in. I also noticed a large amount of takeout orders, so you can tell this place is very popular.

I got the General Tao's chicken. I feel like that's a fair barometer for a Chinese restaurant. If that wows me, then you're doing a good job. Here it's just okay. The chicken wasn't overcooked or greasy, and the sauce was flavorful, but not very spicy. The portion was easily enough for that nights dinner and the next day's lunch, so $11.25 was okay, but not amazing. My fiance got the pepper beef. This was a little less good. The beef was in low quantity, and there were an over abundance of chopped green peppers. It too wasn't very spicy, and actually a little too slimey for our tastes. The appetizers are really the star here. We got the friend wontons and the teriyaki chicken skewers, both were completely devoured by the end of the meal. Just amazing. TL;DR: Not great, but a good option if you're in the mood and like leftovers.

I've been here for lunches and dinners as well as simply just to stop in and pick up a drink. To be Frank I normally only come to downtown Evanston on Sundays when parking is free. And sharing this review because this place is so super consistent when it comes to their drinks and Boba. The food menu like the drink menu is super long, super detailed, and basically just about anything you can think of they will have or you can possibly create. So no matter what your taste or your allergy you can definitely find something to eat here. I however typically come here quite often just to pick up a drink and go and the service is very quick. You don't come here for super friendly service. I can tell you that. But you do come here for really great tasting drinks. If you google them, they have multiple locations now that have grown over the years. And this particular Evanston location this is also not their very first one in Evanston. They've actually moved and they've expanded as well as renovated.

However, my most recent visit actually changed my impression! My friend suggested Joy Yee for dinner, or honestly I probably wouldn't have thought to come here. She ordered a chicken noodle dish, while I got the eel and shrimp fried rice. The eel fried rice was actually the one good dish I remembered from my previous visits, so I decided to play it safe. We also ordered the fried squid tentacles to share, and those were surprisingly delicious! They were fried until crispy while the squid itself stayed tender, with a really nice scallion and garlic aroma. Definitely the highlight of the meal. My eel and shrimp fried rice was also good. Nothing mind-blowing, but the texture was nicely balanced. The rice had a little moisture to it without becoming soggy, and each grain still stayed nicely separated. I did remember the eel pieces were larger in the past though... My friend liked her noodle dish too. I also used to come here for their avocado smoothie, which comes in an unbelievably jumbo size. It's good and I still recommend it. Service was alright, nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about either. The environment is also much better than their old location just a few steps away. The large windows bring in a lot of natural light and make the whole space feel nicer. This visit was definitely better than I remembered. Glad my friend convinced me to give it another try!

Sometimes I feel like other places make it a little less spicy so no one complains if it's too hot. This was perfect. I also tried a little of my coworkers basil fried rice with beef spicy and that was also delicious. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything here if this is how the food is cooked. It seems like a nice little family owned spot that definitely should get more business. Also: the lunch specials are about $12 with an upcharge for other meats. Some of the menu photos on Yelp are out of date. I took new photos to help reflect the current prices.
