    48. Pad See-Ew
    Jose C.

    The recent reviews almost lured me away, but my wife still wanted to try it out. I did an online order for pickup and the food was ready before the promised time. The staff he was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. We ordered their Chicken Satay, my wife ordered her favorite Pad See-Ew with beef and I ordered their Pad Kee-Mao with beef as well. I also put in the comments to make sure it was extra spicy. And extra spicy it was indeed. The chicken satay was very delicious. The chicken was marinated and cooked perfectly and went perfect with the amazing peanut sauce. Both noodle dishes were delicious. Perhaps just a little too much bean sprouts on my Pad Kee Mao, but otherwise a perfectly executed dish. If they're going for some crunch texture in this dish, I would have preferred carrots and bell peppers. But will definitely be returning.

    23. Papaya Salad 29. Tom Kha Kai
    Kirthi D.

    Good food at a reasonable price and impeccably clean, laid back surroundings. Okay service. I got the papaya salad, which was very fresh tasting with good texture, and the Tom Kha Tofu. Both were well seasoned and full of flavor. I appreciated that the tofu wasn't the prefried kind many restaurants use. It tasted fresh and soft. They definitely don't skimp on spice (my nose was running). I do think the Tom Kha has too much lime juice and fish sauce. I love Thai food and I know it's strong. But this Tom Kha should be milder. It's inedible without rice. I'd definitely return to try their noodles and curries, though, because their food is not lacking flavor.

    Had the spicy crispy fish and had diarrhea. Not sure it's the spicy or it's not fresh. Interesting flavor though. Barbecue pork fried rice is pretty good. Just wish it's a bit more moist. Kinda dry to eat it by itself Barbecue pork rib is way too dry. Need some fat on it. Also kinda slow. If you're ordering take out, better plan for a long wait

    Take out only today

    We came here to have a night out for some fresh Thai food. It was pick up only that day so we just went ahead and took the food home instead, which wasn't that big of a deal to us. Food was still piping hot when we got home. It was all so yummy and fresh! And pretty cheap for the amount that we got. 4 spring rolls, green curry fried rice, Thai noodles huge sizes. I would recommend it all!

    45. Pad Thai (chicken)
    Tony G.

    Came here since it was so close to the rock climbing gym I was at. Saw it had some rave reviews and I was pretty excited since I'm a fiend for Thai food. Unfortunately, left a bit disappointed. Ordered the chicken pad thai which came out to around $15 after tax and "convenience / service fees" from ordering online. Order was ready for me by the time I got there. The flavors were okay, but I really felt like the noodles were over cooked and lacking any bounciness to them. Maybe it was just sitting too long? I picked it up right around when the pick-up time stated and ate it about five minutes later, so not really sure. Decent amount of chicken though! Portion-wise I felt like it was a bit small for a $15 order. Maybe it was just a bad batch? Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again to try something else. Maybe the sit-down experience would be better. The space itself looks nice and good for a casual weeknight lunch/dinner spot. Their fried fish dish looks intriguing. But there's so many good Thai restaurants in the area that are on my list to checkout that I won't be rushing back here anytime soon.

    11. In-On Thai Spicy Fish
    Eva S.

    I recently came here to meet a friend for a weeknight dinner. It was an earlier dinner at 5:30pm and we were the first ones to dine-in there, but people slowly started to file closer to 6/6:30pm. The food here is absolutely delicious and so fresh and affordable. Between the two of us, we shared 3 dishes and each had an entree to take home for leftovers. This is what we ordered: + Beef Salad + In-On Thai Spicy Fish + Green Curry with Chicken The food came out fairly quickly but everything was made to order. The dishes were fairly priced (approx $15/each), even for fish, and the flavors were punchy and aromatic. The fish dish surprised me in the best way. My friend wanted to try it (as a self-acclaimed "not usually one to order fish" person) but it was delectable. The fish was fried crispy without breading, and tossed in this sauce that could make you pucker with the tang and lime juice, and spice. The sauce had sliced green apples and bits of sliced lime (!!!) and tamarind and lemongrass and cilantro... it's a flavor explosion. I could eat the sauce itself with plain white rice and it would be amazing. Full disclosure: I THINK it was the "In-On Spicy Fish" dish but there were two fish dishes on their chef specials. The other one was "Fish With 3 Flavors Spicy Sauce; I'm not remembering which one it was exactly. We also got the green curry with chicken. You could choose your protein option including: vegetables, tofu, beef, chicken, or shrimp. I appreciated that they had many options as the 'protein', especially those who would prefer to be meat-free or plant based. The curry was rich, coconutty, and fragrant. The portion was generous as well, and it was served with the little thai eggplants. The beef salad was also fresh and delicious. It was a perfect companion to the curry and the fish to clean our palates. I was debating between the beef salad and the papaya salad, so next time I'll have to try their other salad. I will be back! I had a great first impression and experience. It's affordable and they serve amazing Thai cuisine. Five shiny stars without hesitation. For more, follow me on IG @gratuitousgourmande

    Crab Rangoon
    Gabrielle B.

    5 stars because this is hands down the best crab Rangoon I've ever had. It's flavorful and rich, yet the wonton is crispy and light. The sauce is sweet with a little heat. If you love crab Rangoon, run, do not walk!!!!!!

    49. Spicy Fish with Young Pepper - Wow!!
    Candace C.

    Carry out, eat-in or delivery - we love In-On Thai. They have the traditional Thai entrees - but you really have to try their chef's specialties. Quite a few fish dishes - the Spicy Fish with young Pepper and egg plants is a favorite. I love to order Shrimp with Tamarind sauce for carry out so I can add some steamed broccoli. We always order the pickled vegetables - a nice refreshing addition to any meal. We have enjoyed the Green Curry, Panang Curry, the Keang-Pa Curry and the Crispy Tofu with curry sauce and kafir leaves- all delicious. The one dish I didn't care for was the Secret Fried Rice with BBQ Pork - was a little dry for my taste. Everything else is delicious. Like many Thai places, you can ask for your spiciness level on a scale of 1 to 5. Here at In-On Thai - level 5 is quite spicy. Rick sticks with a level 4 for his dishes while I am quite content with the flavors in level 3. If you like spicy - they deliver. If you dine in - it's BYOB - with a liquor store conveniently located next door. We recommend placing your order, then getting your beverage of choice to accompany your meal.

The crab Rangoons are AMAZING as well, which says a lot because I have tried at least 30 in the city. These are top 5. Lastly, beef chow fun was okay.

The food was completely underwhelming, and when we shared our concerns with the staff, nothing was done to address them. The service was equally disappointing. Our server spent much of the time sitting on her phone while we waited for basic service like water refills, being asked about drinks, and receiving the drinks we ordered. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone just to receive attention. As for the food, the gyoza was bland and tasted like unseasoned pork. The lemongrass beef stew curry, which was highly recommended, arrived cold, had an odd texture, and lacked any real flavor. Most shocking of all were the drunken noodles. I've ordered them countless times over the years and always considered them among the best in Chicago. This time, I couldn't get past a single bite. Every dish was left unfinished. We didn't finish a single plate and didn't take any leftovers home--something that never happens for us. Between the poor service and incredibly disappointing food, this was an awful dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, after being a longtime customer, I won't be returning.

    I had not been here in quite sometime and was pleased to find it better than when I last left it…read more In particular, I was really please to find that they now have outdoor seating. (Unfortunately, the sidewdalk is sloped, so the tables are sloped.) C and I order shumai, which in my experience, is served as an appetizer. Our order didn't arrive until after the main course was served. (Note to self: Next time order the main course after the appetizer has been served.) Cuisine: 4 stars - We ordered Basil Rice, to share. The flavor was different than what I have been served elsewhere. More sour than sweet. I think a better balance between sour and sweet would be better. Also, elsewhere, the rice and ground chicken are served tossed together. Here, the rice and chicken arrive on separate plates. It's difficult to mix sticky rice and chicken on a flat place. Nevertheless, the meal was completely acceptable; just a bit different. Service: 4 stars - The server was polite and friendly. Ambiance: 4 stars - We dined outside, but the interior looks nice. It's really nice to find a Thai restaurant with outdoor seating. What to know: It's BYOB (a plus) and does not accept card; only cash. For me, that's also a plus. Would I return? Yes.
