40. Pad Thai
Michelle C.

Wow, this seems like a cute neighborhood spot :) They're always busy with takeout orders in the front. When you walk in, you're surprised by the spacious dining area. It feels a bit like a university dining hall with the way the tables are set up. I loved how relaxed it felt. What we ordered: - Papaya Salad: The citrusy flavor really opened my appetite. Loved this! - Tiger Cry: Can't go wrong with this. The marinated beef was so flavorful. - Fried Chicken Wings: Essentially salt and pepper chicken. Not bad but a bit basic. I'd try something else on the menu next time. - Pad Thai: They really crushed it! Sweet, savory, and sour ~ all the flavors meshed perfectly.

This place has such a cute ambiance and really liked how the service was quick. The food came out in a timely manner and really enjoyed their pad thai which was not at all soggy like other places. Their tiger cry was so good with a side of dipping sauce. Their Thai tea was also good and you can see the cream.

42. Kuay Tiew Kee Mao w/ beef
Jose C.

We did takeout from Noble Thai. My order was ready before the promised time. The inside did look very upscale for a Thai restaurant. Which was nice to see and the staff was great as well. We order their Pad See-Iew with chicken and Kuay Tiew Kee Mao with beef. Both dishes were delicious. Lately Thai has been a hit or miss for some odd reason, but Noble Thai was a good pick. The Kee Mao was spicy and the beef was very tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly. We also ordered their Mango Sticky Rice. This was also good and available for a fair price. Overall we were really satisfied with Noble Thai and will definitely consider returning.

Noble Thai was an absolute treat! I'd go so far as to say it's some of the best Thai food in the city--and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. I made a reservation for a Thursday night, and it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed dining experience. We kicked things off with two cocktails that were both tasty and well-priced. For our appetizer, we chose the Chicken Satay--and wow, the peanut sauce it came with was so good I could've honestly sipped it like a drink! For our entrees, we ordered the Gaeng Masaman and the Gaeng Pet Ped. While the Gaeng Masaman didn't have quite as much flavor as I had hoped, the Gaeng Pet Ped absolutely delivered--it was rich, aromatic, and everything you want in a great curry dish. The portions were generous enough that we needed takeout containers. We'll definitely be back next time we're on that side of town!

Yum yum yummy! What an AMAZING place. We went around 4:30p and were seated immediately as the place was empty. I actually loved that because it was peaceful especially with their decor - it's so well thought out. We ordered what is pictured + chicken pad thai (not pictured). Everything was excellent! Different flavor profiles that just all make sense. Their sauces and spices are soo good I wish I could take some home lol This has easily become my favorite Thai spot in Chicago. Just go!

30. Pad Paak Roum Mit with chicken and 41. Pad See-Iew with shrimp
Karen L.

I wanted to love this place. The interior is cute and the service was great. But the food was without question very mid. Started with the Tiger Cry - it was so incredibly dry and over cooked that it was like chewing jerky. Not spicy at all. My husband got the pad see-lew with shrimp and spice level 1. I got the pad paak roum mit with chicken spice level four. They were both equal spicy which to me was maybe a level three. I have no idea why they even asked us. My dish was kind of tasteless otherwise. The best part was sadly the Thai donuts which is fried dough with sugar so kinda hard to mess up. We will keep exploring the neighborhood for a regular Thai spot cause this wasn't it for us.

3. Crab Rangoon (8) and 25. Som Tum (Papaya Salad)
Clara S.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while- it got a lot of hype on social media. I don't think it met my expectations, but there was nothing bad about the food or experience at all. I just have had better Thai food in the suburbs. The service was quick though, atmosphere was clean and bright, and portions were pretty good at a fair price point. The standout in my opinion was the crab rangoons. Definitely one of the better ones I've tried as the cream filling was tasty, well blended, and with some herbs or veggies that added a slight nice flavor. We also ordered the tiger cry, papaya salad, pad Thai with pork, and Penang curry with shrimp. Everything was good, nothing excellent in my opinion. The pad Thai though wasn't dry at all, which tends to be the case with most Thai places that don't do a good job. This place definitely will satisfy your Thai needs. We were pretty full after this meal but also ordered the spring rolls to top it off with something lighter - I liked these a lot. My dad's Thai iced coffee was also a nice sweet addition to the meal.

Bar

Terrific no frills and minimalistic establishment with great food, what more could you want! The only thing a little off was the service, even though we had reservations they were kinda vague if they could seat us. Which we did after sitting at the bar with no bar tender for a bit. Busy place though and lots of groups and lots of take out going out of here. Esthetically very basic but nice and classy and a chill atmosphere. Great menu though and a decent beer and wine list. I had the bubbly and my friend had glass of Pinot Grigio. Staples that are always good. We tried the potstickers as an appetizer which weirdly were deep fried but turned out to be very tasty. Pork inside and great dipping sauce. Then we shared the drunken noodles with chicken and the red curry with chicken. My go tos and I love trying them every Thai place I go. These were both pretty good and tasty and very fresh. Lots of veggies in both too. But as spicy as we had hoped but we got a side of red chilies to help our cause. Nice spot and seemed to stay busy the whole time we were there. They kinda close early so get in quick !

Ordered for delivery and was easily to worst Thai food I've had in Chicago. The curry tasted like watery coconut milk with no flavor or spice. The noodles had an odd sour aftertaste. Both were inedible and we had to order from another Thai restaurant for dinner! The papaya salad was very good though and spicy. Will definitely avoid in the future.

9. Tiger Cry
Yasmin S.

I had to give this place a try as I saw Keith Lee recently review it. I was in town, and Thai food is my favorite pad see ew: it had a distinct flavor that I've never ever tried in this dish. It didn't have enough sauce, and the sauce flavor had no sweetness to it. I think that's what the dish missed, as I tasted salt and sour. Mango sticky rice: the mango was delicious but the rice was so sticky like it had been sitting for a while. The sauce was all dried up, and I the dessert should've had more on it as well. Tiger cry: this was my favorite dish out of the 3. It was packed with so much flavor! The sauce that it came with was so bomb too. I do feel like it is pricey for the amount that you get but I would still order this again.

5. Peanut Sauce Spring Rolls
Ana M.

I think I found my favorite Thai food in Chicago! The restaurant has such a nice aesthetic, definitely a place to impress a date or friends. The service was phenomenal, our servers made recommendations and was attentive. We started off with Mai Tai's, they were so delicious. They do have a full service bar. For appetizers I loved the peanut sauce spring rolls and the cry tiger. Next time I will get a regular pad Thai and add the cry tiger meat. It has such an amazing taste I can't compare to anything else. The chicken curry was made with coconut milk, had the right amount of spicy and sweet. I can't wait to come back and try new things!

41. Pad See-Iew
Naiima D.

This place use to be a Eckhart Park library 24 years ago. My husband and I use to work here then. It's where we met!! Cute story right!!!??? We came here for our 9th anniversary dinner in April. It's very clean. Not really busy dining in but had lots of delivery orders. (I saw the bags on the counter) We had great service, delicious food and great drinks! We ordered the tiger cry, shumai, pad kana moo krab, seafood fried rice, pad see iew and a coconut Mai tai. The Tiger Cry was charbroiled marinated beef with tangy chili sauce on the side. It was delicious! Nice and tender. It paired well with the dipping sauce that was on the side! The Pad Kana Moo Krab was crispy pork belly, Chinese broccoli and oyster sauce! It had crispy pieces and chewy pieces. The Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly. A good solid dish if you're a pork lover. (I forgot to take a picture of this dish) The shumai are shrimp dumplings that are served with a Thai soy sauce. These were amazing and we could've eaten at least 30. lol! The Seafood Combination Fried Rice had , shrimp, squid, crab stick. It wasn't heavily saturated with soy sauce. It was light in color but very flavorful! It was very delicious too. The Chicken Pad See-lew had Flat rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, eggs and sweet soy sauce. My favorite Thai dish everrrr! Extremely well executed! Mine was extraaaaa spicy! My coconut Mai tai packed punch but was smooth! Street parking wasn't overly crowded. We found a spot right next to the restaurant!!!! Friendly, delicious food, solid drinks and very reasonably priced! This is our spot!!!!!! Check them out!!!!!!

11. Fried Chicken Wings
Marlene S.

This place is so cute inside. Walked right in during dinner time and it was pretty empty but the takeout orders were off the charts. We saw so many bags waiting to get picked up and so many delivery people coming in and out. We ordered a bunch of food and honestly it was too much. The shrimp fried rice was tasty. The fried wings were okay, I think they just lacked some flavor. The spring roll and dumplings were also okay crab Rangoon was so good! Would definitely return and try other things.

This family-run spot is quaint and doesn't offer much in terms of interior decor and lighting. The entrance is also fully covered in a decal, which makes it easy to walk right by this spot. The food makes up for some of these shortcomings. This is the familiar Cantonese cooking that is comfort food for many. The stir-fried noodles in particular are a must. There are rice dishes, soups, and more to choose from and you can't really go wrong with anything. The soup is my least favorite of these due to the broth lacking depth, but the wontons were good. The XO sauce stir-fried noodles with beef was my favorite. If you're looking for something casual with affordable dishes, Yummy Yummy is worth checking out.

The cold gluten salad is a true highlight here, with an impeccable springy texture and an absolutely perfect mix of chili oil and sesame in the seasoning. The flatbread was also a standout, being perfectly crunchy and flavorful alongside a cumin lamb with a good punch. I was less impressed by the hand-pulled noodles. The soup itself was fine, as were the lamb intestines (though I really prefer them grilled). However, for hand-stretched noodles, the noodles were just lacking and missing something.

The biang biang noodles were thick, chewy and bouncy, and like wider longer belts. The texture was actually so addicting and I devoured my bowl almost instantly. My friend got the Szechuan spicy vermicelli pot with beef, but this needed a bit more flavor and spice. Adding vinegar helped! Our server was super nice and friendly and helped us pack all our leftovers too.

Brothless Ramen? Sure, why the heck not! This is as far out of my comfort zone as I go, by the way…read more Now, Kajiken may be a chain, but that didn't stop the experience from being mind-blowing. A five-star experience by definition. I'd ordered Homura, and stepped away to wash my hands. Just as I was sitting down, the bowl of hot fresh goodness was placed in front of me. Even when the place was busy, the service remains lighting-quick! friendly and attentive too! As for the bowl, it was absolutely fantastic! Upon mixing, everything went together perfectly. The flavors were tremendously savory and rich, with accents from the egg, seasonings, veggies, and a healthy amount of meat. The noodles were cooked perfectly too! The bowl was perfect as is, and needed nothing. I was worried the bowl would be dry, but this couldn't be farther from the truth, especially with the ladle of liquid on the bottom, everything was perfect! Now, there are various seasonings and flavor enhancers on the table, but they weren't needed, in my opinion. If you do choose to add some, be careful, as some pour fast and heavy! After happily slurping this thing down in record time, I also ordered a single helping of Chashu, as I generally love it and wanted to try. It too was brought to me in no time, and was thin, well balanced, and melted in my mouth. Where it comes to value, the bowl was $13.50, and the slice of chashu was $1.50, IIRC. Great, especially in light of what everything costs nowadays. Final verdict: Kajiken came, and it DELIVERED. Everything from start to finish was top notch, and for a very fair value of $13.50 for a fresh, tasty, and filling bowl of goodness.

But the ambiance of the restaurant was really nice and clean, decorated with lanterns and a wood themed interior The ramen was pretty lackluster - the noodles were very tough and under done and the broth was less savory than I would've liked for a tonkotsu. The soba noodles were flavorful but also could've been cooked better. For a $20+ dish I felt the portions were disappointing, especially since I think I was missing some toppings Overall, id be down to eat here again and would probably have a better experience the second time around if dining in instead

The kimchi fried rice was very good as well too. The beef short rib is sweet and slightly lemongrass flavored. This whole meal is for the sweet and slightly savory palette. The garlic noodles honestly had way too much garlic on them. But once I ate it later in the day it was good. When you sit inside the price that you see on the menu will not be what you're charge you will be charged $23 instead of $16. Definitely clarify if that is the sizing price, we assumed we got dinner portions. You do get more than enough to take home. I will say about this place is if you do try something new you will have an interesting experience!
