    *COMBO PAD THAI Green Curry Fried Rice
    Rahima J.

    Finally got to try this place! There is plenty of seating inside and it was towards the end of dinner time so we got our food very quickly. The Crab Rangoons and chicken potstickers were so delicious. Very large portion sizes of the entrees with so many options and dinner specials. Definitely a reliable Thai restaurant to have in the area!

    *COMBO PAD THAI Crab Rangoon
    Anna T.

    Excited to try a new Thai spot in the city! I hit this for pick up and it was pretty quick! I got the pad Thai and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons were good, nothing special, on the smaller side. The pad Thai was eh. Probabaly wouldn't come here again. Kind of bland. Overall pretty average. Good if you want something quick

    Pad Kra Pow (Basil)
    Anthony D.

    Pretty solid Thai food in Old Town. It's off of North Ave so there is some street parking. The interior is a little unadorned with several tables. We came on the weekend for lunch and were the only people dining in. We ordered the Pad Kara Pow and Chor Muang. Each was flavorful and the egg was cooked perfectly.

    I do recommend it because it is nice. My child loves the cool sticky rice. Good service with a quiet and relaxing ambiance. The food tastes delicious . We love their food

    Thai Fried Rice
    Cassie E.

    I can't speak to the service or ambiance because we ordered takeout. We got the classic pad thai, chor muang (purple dumplings), and thai fried rice. I really liked the thai fried rice. It wasn't too dry and had good flavor. The chicken wasn't too dry either. My boyfriend said the beef pad thai was really good. As for the chor muang, it wasn't my favorite. It was more sweet and bitter than I expected. The dough was soft and a good texture. The texture of the inside was also not what I was expecting. Maybe I didn't know what to expect, but I was intrigued by the purple color. But I am not going to take away any stars because I know I have unique food preferences.

    Very good food which came out very quickly. The portions and combo were a great value, you get a lot of food for how much you're paying. We went on a Saturday evening and got seated immediately - location is great if you're trying to get dinner by Second City!

    Chor Muang (Purple Dumpings) and Crab Rangoon
    Sydney H.

    I picked up Hom Mali for takeout on a Saturday night. The inside was pretty small, but still enough tables to eat inside if you didn't want to take it home. Our food was ready very quick, it didn't take long at all. Our food was very average, I don't think I will ever go back. The purple dumplings barely had any filling in them and tasted more soggy and doughy than other dumplings I've had before - it seemed like they had been ready for hours and were just sitting for a long time. The pad thai was meh, something seemed off about the sauce. The crab rangoon and fried rice were the best tasting things we got, but nothing super notable or that I can't get anywhere else.

    Ordered in for the first time and was impressed by everything. The flavors were great, and the Chor Muang (Purple Dumpings) was what drew me in. It's a chewy outer skin, not quite mochi, but it was unique! I'll be sure to order again and try other dishes.

    lowkey spot not too far from lincoln park. only customer in the restaurant for lunch ~1 PM. was prompted seated. vibe is casual, clean interior. tom kha soup 6.5/10: good flavor, a kick of spice, good coconut milk and lemongrass flavor, decent amount of chicken. only thing was mushrooms were undercooked, though it definitely was fresh. pad kee mao: 7/10. large portions, good amount of veggies + beef. could've used a tad more sauce but otherwise solid noodles.

    Khao Soy
    Priyanka C.

    Decided to check out this hole in the wall in old town and blown away! We got the drunken noodles with tofu and the khao soi tofu and both were excellent! The spice level and flavor were just right and the tofu was cooked perfectly. I do wish the khao soi had a little more curry but otherwise it was perfect. We have been struggling to find good Thai food in Chicago and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place! Would definitely come back!

    Can they make gluten free dishes? Do they have gluten free soy sauce?

    Is "Thai Style" spicier than "Hot"?

    The spiciest! Beware!

Legit one of the most authentic Thai places, especially with their Tom Yum Goong. It was the same creamy goodness that I remember growing up with. I usually serve it with a bowl of rice and they are very generous with the amount of prawns in there. Their papaya salad is funky and delicious. I love the curry as well!

Luckily with the reservation we were seated right away. For the weekend visit it was so hectic and service wasn't the best. We didn't get our order taken until about 20 minutes after being seated. We were sitting and waiting for a while. Trying to flag down a server was impossible because of how busy it was. On the weekday service was much more attentive. Visiting on a weekday would be much more worth it since you can just walk in. Both times we ordered the Tum Thai (papaya salad), but the only difference is on the weekend we were NOT allow to adjust the spicy level on the salad. The server informed us that it was already premade so spiciness was no adjustment. I loved it but the spicy level was a bit too much for me. Everything came out relatively quick. All the dishes were very well seasoned and saucy. My favorite was the kor moo yang, tum Thai, and mango sticky rice! I would come back just for the sticky rice because it is so addicting!!!

There are window views from the restaurant, making for good people watching. Mainly metered parking available Medium to large sized place with dedicated sections for thai food (about 8 tables and 2 rows of bar style seats) vs for sushi and ramen but all under the same place/owner, can order from any menu - the decor on that side is super cute, fish cutouts, anime/manga decorated walls, decked out bars Got the scuba diving chicken from the chefs faves and must say it was pretty good - a bit on the greasier side but the aroma of the herbs and the spices from the curry really pull through, chicken is cooked very well, super tender and juicy. I got the "No turning back" spice level and theres a hefty kick - halfway into the dish my mouth def feels it but nothing too extreme (FYI theres a slight mala-like numbingness to it) The traditional papaya salad was crunchy and refreshing, sauce is tangy but not too overwhelming. The peanuts add a nice nutty element to it. There were hardly any dried shrimp, so wouldve like to see a bit more of that. Be sure to give it a good mix as the sauce and topping fall to bottom of the bowl To top it off, the service was great. Albert was really attentive and helpful - would come back if im in the gold coast area again to try the other menu offerings

Seating was a little tight like at Phodega, but not terrible. To view menu, you scan a QR code at the table. My husband & I ordered the following: - Grilled Squid This was really good! I thought it was going to come out like little calamari rings, but it was actually a decently sized whole squid, sliced with the tentacles on the side. It was cooked perfectly as it was not chewy or rubbery. The flavor was great, especially with the paired Thai-spicy seafood sauce. - Crab Meat Fried Rice Loved that this was with real crab! & not the imitation crab. There were bits of crab meat throughout the rice and then topped with a big lump of crab meat. It came served with a lime & yummy fish sauce with fresh Thai chili's. - Bamee Noodles with BBQ Pork without broth This bowl of egg noodles had a slightly sweet flavor to it, served with a fox amount of BBQ Pork which was also nice & tender! Slurped it all up! - Jina's Fried Chicken This was good, but not anything like out of this world. It was fried chicken leg quarter, served with black sticky rice. - Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango LOVED this! It was a great way to end our meal! I loved that it came with extra sweet sauce! - Taro Tapioca in Coconut Milk Cream This was great too! It was actually a warm dessert. The menu described it as "Tapioca pearls" so I was expecting the tiny little clear boba balls, but it was cubes of like glutinous rice. Which was not bad! I liked it a lot; it reminded me of Ginataang Bilo Bilo (#iykyk if you're Filipino)! Overall, a delicious experience! We would eat here again!
