    Spicy Wonton tom yum soupwonton
    Sneydy A.

    Everything I've ever tried from here was delicious. My fave is their spicy wonton tom yum soup! Don't forget the spicy chicken wings as a starter!

    This is one of my mother-in-law's favorite Thai restaurants. Not sure if it's because it's near her home or because the staff recognizes her and greets her warmly. The food was pretty good and we will probably return. It wasn't too crowded, which is a bonus.

    My brother and I went here for dinner. My brother has really been wanting to try Thai food and found this spot not to far from his house. We walked in and was seated immediately. The servers were very nice and welcoming. We started off with potstickers and grilled king oyster mushrooms for appetizers my brother had a wonton soup for his appetizer. The king oyster mushrooms were fantastic. I am a big fan of mushrooms. The potstickers were great. The wonton soup had to be some of the best wonton soup I've ever had. Anytime I eat Thai food I order the pad see ewe. That was very good. My brother has the 3 seasoned fish. Very good as well. The place was very clean and energy was great. I will definitely come back.

    pad kee mao

    such a hidden gem! on my list for top thai restaurants in chicago all the food was super flavorful and we loved all three dishes. the papaya salad with crab paste was very authentic and strong in flavor that we loved. the pad kee mao and three flavor deep fried fish were super tasty in its own way. we got a spice 3 and thought it was perfect if you like spicier food. i think any higher would've been overkill for us. overall, it might be on the saltier side, but i didn't mind too much service was good and for a thursday night it was packed. truly so excited to come back next time to try other dishes and get the papaya salad again!

    Great food overall. The best crab rangoon I have tasted. The food is very spicy so be careful how you order.

Our party of 4 ordered crab rangoon and the fried chicken wings as appetizers. For our entrees we ordered a curry dish, shrimp fried rice, pad se ewe (crispy) and the son in law eggs. Portions were great. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and were already talking about what they would like to try next time. Service was great and the food came out fast. The atmosphere was enjoyable and intimate enough for small groups to dine together.

We had called ahead to reserve a table and yet there was none available when we arrived. After waiting a bit, we were finally sat down but took about 30 minutes for the solo server to come by. She was clearly over-worked and exhausted and trying her best to keep it together but also in near tears. The food didn't even taste authentic - one of the dishes that should've had lemongrass actually had just basil instead. Maybe they ran out of ingredients? The corn fritters weren't fully cooked on the inside and doughy. And then, a homeless person high on drugs walked in and started asking each table for food. No one did anything about this and it made the whole experience even more awkward.

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. It didn't have much flavor and the beef was tough/hard to bite through so not a fan of that.

I'm…read morenot sure if there has been a change in management or the kitchen, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had here. 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.
