    Papaya salad
    Michelle W.

    Best thai food Chicago! The service is fast and food is served quickly. The space is comfortable to dine in as well. Parking needs to be paid parking however on the street. My favorite item to order is their crispy chicken skin and Khao soi. They both have the perfect crunch to it and the portion is good. I always have extras to take home.

    Great Thai takeout option. The pad see ew was super tasty. Could've used more veggies but overall no complaints

    BAMEE MHOO DANG HANG WITH SHRIMP WONTONS
    Em K.

    Had a great experience at Imm Rice and Beyond! I got the Bamee Mhoo Dang Hang with the shrimp wontons added on, and it was a flavorful, satisfying meal. I'm really glad I added the shrimp wontons as they were delicious and complemented the dish perfectly. The service was excellent and attentive throughout. Solid spot for authentic Thai flavors. Would definitely come back!

    A nice, warm restaurant with a variety of authentic dishes. We got the chicken satay, gaeng kiew whan with tofu, and pad prik khing with chicken. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was really good and was a nice starter. The gaeng kiew whan was flavorful and somewhat spicy. There was a good amount of tofu, but I felt like there should have been more than just bamboo shoots in the curry. The pad prik khing was also tasty and pretty spicy. The green beans were a generous portion, but it would've been nice to have more chicken too. Chose the kao tom madt for dessert and it was actually really enjoyable. You wouldn't think beans would work with dessert, but they gave it a nice texture.

    Pad Khee Mao

    The curry was very flavorful with strong coconut creaminess and paired well with the textures from the pad kee mao. I didn't know if you could adjust spiciness but probably would get it spicier next time

    You get friendly service, for sure, as it is obvious that the workers there enjoy their job. The interior decor is very catchy, even cute. Restrooms are what you'd expect at an Asian restaurant, but not bad. But we go to a restaurant to eat good, flavorful food, right? It was quite ordinary, to be honest; nothing to match the trendiness of the interior environment. I'm willing to give any place a second chance. So, maybe we will do just that!

    Ginger Chicken and Thai iced tea, fried chicken way in the back
    Amanda G.

    I had a very nice ladies lunch here. Cabana vibes, with the front of the cafe able to open up to the street. Lots of sun, creative cocktails, and more delicious sounding menu items than I had room for, may need a return visit. That said, this street is bustling with options and shops, cafes so how do you pick just one place? It stood out to me that with so many competitors, Immm was jumping! Very good sign. I had a Thai iced tea (sweet burnt orange colored tea, a personal favorite!! Always get excited when they're on the menu) and I was looking for a light, veggie forward option and bet on the ginger chicken. My friends both got the Panang Curry, it had a notable butteriness to it that you don't find often and, hot damn, it was spicy for this group of white chicks! Not sure how that translates for other heat seekers though. ‍

    Ambiance - cute small neighborhood gem, tight seating, offers indoor and outdoor dining Service - servers were super nice, food came out 15-20 min after ordering Food - Thai curry puffs were nice and flaky/flavorful, khao nar neur had a really good grilled flavor + sauce had a really good kick, kuay tiew naam (noodle soup) broth was definitely more on the lighter side/more bland, gai todd is a must get!

    Chicken Satay
    Anna N.

    The market got rained out so we wanted to grab a bite to eat. We came across this cute little spot and the colorful art and lively vibe lured us in. We were seated very quickly despite how busy it appeared. I recommend ordering 2-3 entrees to share amongst the table, depending on how many are seated. There were only two of us and 2 plates + a starter was a perfect amount of food. Thai tea was delicious. Perfect amount of sweet with that authentic tea flavor. The chicken kabob was a little dry, but better with the peanut sauce (which has a HEAVY peanut flavor, so take that as you will). I wish it came with more cucumber salad! We also ordered the Thai style fried chicken legs. The flavor was delicious but there was a lot of bone to eat around, and not a ton of meat on each one. The deep fried wontons are delicious and I highly suggest getting at least one order of those. Service was fairly quick (for how busy it was) and friendly, and we were in and out in no time.

    Crispy Chicken Skin (Nhung Gai Todd)
    Sheyenne H.

    Food selections were great and tasty. Crispy when it has to be, fresh vegges. We have misgivings on the service as we placed our orders appropriately but some delivered incorrectly or arrived late or we had to remind them. We were there around 11am so pretty early. The shop wasn't particularly busy, it was half full so maybe something else was making the kitchen occupied.

    Khao Moo Dang, Boat Noodle (Kuay Tiew Ruea), Khao Tom Madt
    Minerva H.

    The food was really good, I would come back to try other items. The boat noodles were seasoned so well and I loved how crispy the lap cheung sausage was from the khao moo dang. However, the fan was beating down a bit strong which gave me a minor headache. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

    Chicago has no shortage of Thai restaurants but I've been to Immm far more times than any of the others. Everything is good here but I'll highlight 2 dishes that I get almost every time, which I believe are better than anywhere else I've had: Som Tum Thai and Pad See Eiw. The Tum Thai (papaya salad) is the perfect combination of sour, sweet, and spicy (3 chilis is just right for me) and the papayas they use always taste fresh. The Pad See Eiw doesn't solely rely on sugar unlike some other restaurants; it has a nice umami to it and you can really taste the smokiness from the wok. You can request it spicy but I personally like it not spicy (one of the few Thai dishes I would say that for). Honorable mention to these dishes, which are also spectacular: Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Khao Pad. They make it into my rotation a fair amount as well! If you're remotely near Argyle or Uptown, do yourself a favor and dine at Immm. The food is delicious, the servers are friendly, and the vibes are great (they've invested a lot into remodeling the place in recent years and it shows). Bon appetit!

    Our oldest lives in the "Little Vietnam neighborhood" and has been wanting to try this place so we popped in after the night market for a bev and a bite. Cute & cozy, the hanging lights add a lot of atmosphere with seating inside and out. The service is good and prompt and they will work with you to make sure your order gets in before the kitchen closes. I have to say that mango sticky rice is a thing, SO good.

    Can I get really really spicy Thai food at Immm? If not, where can one find that in chicago?

    You can get really spicy at Immm also Sticky Rice and Aroi Thai. Not your usual commercial Thai food/menus in these places but Northern Thai food (Isaan province)

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!

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!
