We came to Silli Kori during a weeknight to celebrate a birthday. It was our first time coming here and it did not disappoint. 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.
While traveling from California to Chicago, was visiting the Humboldt Park area. On the way back, I passed by this Thai restaurant Silli Kori right in Division St. They advertised a lunch special, which worked out perfectly. The place is cute and I was served right away. I absolutely love Thai food and being so far from home, I didn't know what to expect. I was in for a surprise. I ordered the Pad Thai which came with a small side salad. So delicious! And the Pad Thai was literally one of the best that I've had. You mix it yourself. We plan to be back in Chicago later in the year. I hope to visit here again in the near future.
This restaurant is tucked away in division and such an amazing find! Very nice inside and the service was great. Now the food was great and for such a great price. Highly recommend the specialty dishes! Son in law eggs blew me away!
Decided to go here on a spur of the moment while out one day. The place was empty, but it was 4 pm. on a weekday. Service was fast, and the food came out in a reasonable time. Short rating: Fresh Rolls: 1 out of 5 Kao Soi: 3 out of 5 Son In Law Eggs: 5 out of 5 First, the fresh rolls are not spring rolls. It is mostly vegetables and comes with a sliver of tofu and a vinegar based sauce. You can add shrimp to the dish, but you barely get any shrimp in it. While the dish may be fresh, it is lacking in flavor for me. The Kao Soi is a curry egg noodle soup. While I think this was a good dish, it was a bit mild in the flavor for me. The flavor is good, but it's just a feeling of wanting more. I would eat it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Finally, the Son and Law eggs dish. This was the star of the show, and it packed all the flavor that I missed from the other dishes. I recommend the beef with this dish instead of the chicken. The seasoning in this dish tastes soy sauce based, and it is done very well. The eggs in the dish are hardboiled and fried. It is very unique and delicious.
Looking for an amazing lunch without breaking the bank? Look no further. Pleasantly surprised by this gem tucked away in Wicker Park. They have a SMOKING deal for weekday lunch. For $12, you get an app and a select main. Add miso soup for $3? Oh, don't have to tell me twice. Even their other options on the menu aren't crazy priced. Amazing flavor, indoor and outdoor seating, and will definitely be back!
Parking all over division. This spot is so comfy and home-y. Server/bartender was so kind and explained the menu. Recommended a light Japanese beer that I enjoyed thoroughly. My partner's tummy was delightfully happy and the price point is affordable! Come here, trust me.
Pim is incredibly sweet and kind. We visited the restaurant during our lunch break and took advantage of the lunch special, which was an amazing value. The crab Rangoons were excellent, and the curry had the perfect balance of flavor and spice. Since the weather was hot outside, we decided to enjoy our meal indoors. I could easily see myself becoming a regular here.
Came to get lunch at this unassuming Asian restaurant on Division. It turned out to only be doing takeout so I got it to go. Silli Kori is casually elegant and certainly it's not silly. Has pretty good prices for the quality. There's lunch specials and many things for any preferences of tastes. At lunch is the best time to come. It had pretty affordable lunch specials going on. This is only for weekdays. Has a lot to choose from. It's about $9 for the cheapest specials. Pick a noodle or rice. Then choose a protein. It's a few bucks or more for each. This then comes with a side. Add a few more bucks if wanting a soup. The one I got was the woonsen noodles, and I got it with tofu. Appetizer was the vegetable tempura. The noodles were those glassy ones and came with a good variety of vegetables. Carrots, long beans, and more. This was a good amount for the cheap price. Has only dinner on Sundays, but the rest of the week also has lunch. It only does takeout earlier so plan ahead about when to go make an order. There's plenty of options for meat eaters and vegetarians.
The first impression is that it is that the decor is modern but inviting. It was my impression that even though the space is nice, the majority of the business seems to be carryout and delivery, so we received really attentive service being one of a few diners dining in. We ordered fresh spring rolls, miso, massaman curry and Woonsen. Everything was so delicious but the massaman curry was next level for me. It was a visually beautiful dish and the taste was outstanding!
Silli Kori's food, especially as a vegetarian, is savory, flavorful, and balanced. The service is quick and the wait staff is attentive to small details. The ambiance is quiet and cozy. It can get a little warm in the restaurant in the summertime, but a cold Thai iced tea (which was delightful) can fix that quite readily!
Wow welcome to my new favorite pad Thai restaurant. IYKYK that I love pad Thai and whenever I try a new Thai place, I have to order pad Thai (and crab Rangoon) regardless of what else sounds good. This pad Thai was perfect. Flavors were balanced between sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. Textures were varied; noodles, sprouts, and it was all covered in an egg sheath. Creative, beautiful, and completely satisfying. I added a little extra chili sauce, but that's to my own taste. The base entree was delicious. The crab Rangoon were amazing too, I loved that they included green onion into the mix. Furthermore, you cannot beat the cocktails. 1- because they excellent and 2- because they're soooo affordable ($11 for a Singapore sling). I will be back and this will be my top recommendation for pad Thai and my top restaurant request when I'm in the Wicker area.
I ordered Pad Thai and crab rangoon for carry out via phone. Showed up in 20 mins and the food was already ready. The crab Rangoon was the perfect crispy crust. The pad Thai was delicious and the portions were big, I got 2 meals out of this order. If you're looking to satisfy your Thai cravings I would recommend going here!

SPECIAL DELIVERY We never order delivery but with the Polar Vortex hitting Chicago we decided to have our food delivered. It was quite painful and funny to actually get our food. Our delivery guy couldn't figure out how to ring our bell or even open our door after we buzzed him in. He actually called us on the phone and it was a task considering the driver was speaking broken English. I thought we might not even get our food even though it was sitting right outside our front door. We finally got the delivery guy in the building and we received our food. We ordered the crispy rolls with ground chicken and vermicelli. The dish was beautifully presented. They actually sliced the rolls and then topped it with cilantro and carrots. They were really good but the rolls could have used a dipping sauce. I'm not sure if the rolls actually came with a sauce but we definitely didn't get a sauce on the side. We also ordered two orders of Kee Mow Noodles with chicken, wide noodle, tomatoes, vegetables, carrots, onions, basil, bean sprouts and a sweet soy sauce. One was mild and the other was very spicy. The dishes were good. I was a little unhappy that my noodles were stuck together. I'm not sure if this was a causality of delivery but I didn't like it. The dish was also a little too sweet. I would like to actually dine at this location and have the dishes fresh. I will say that the delivery was fast and actually arrived earlier then promised. We haven't ordered delivery in years and it was nice to not go out in the cold to get food. I was also let down they didn't send chop sticks. Asian food doesn't taste good with a plastic fork which is what they sent. Luckily I had a spare set of chop sticks in the house to enjoy my food. read more

It rarely happens when I really cannot say anything negative about a place. I was doubtful about going to this place but glad I went. Loved the outdoor seating in the perfect location. Food was great too. Its not a regular thai restaurant but more like Thai fusion. I ordered green curry pasta and my husband order rice fried salad or something like that. Both of the dishes were like chef style, served nicely and was very unique. Servers was nice, initially I thought that she was rude but later realized that's the way she talks. The only thing was cleaning, table was not wiped properly and when I went to washroom noticed the kitchen area as well which was not that clean. But overall it was good experience. read more
Went here at 7PM on a Saturday night. It was not packed at the time but the rush hit at 7:30PM. They have a great atmosphere and good service. I knocked a star off because the food is quite a departure from Thai food. It was good in it's own way, as long as you don't have the expectation of it being authentic. It makes sense for them to americanize the dishes to be palatable, so just come in here with that expectation. They didn't have any of the traditional thai salads such as papaya salad, glass noodle seafood salad (yum woon sen), beef salad. I did see some of these as options in their old menu, but I guess it has since been taken off. The Massaman curry had a lot of potatoes and a tiny bit of meat. It was also quite sweet. Overall it wasn't bad as long as you temper expectations. The Kao Soi was very flavorful and was our favorite dish of the night The Pad Thai was also very flavorful and sweet. I liked that it came with an egg. Make sure to ask them to make it spicy or to give them a spice level, because they don't ask and they will give you a very mild dish. Which of course is great if that's what you want. Otherwise, just make sure to put in that spice stipulation in your order. Overall the place is good for a date night and for people who want Thai-ish food. But if you've been to Thailand/are Thai and are having a hankering for the local favorites, you might want to try elsewhere. read more

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in the city! I have been to too many Thai restaurants to count and Silli Kori is consistently tasty. I order delivery about twice a month and am never disappointed. Our favorite dishes consist of the chicken pad Thai, chicken panang curry, and massaman curry! read more

I have ordered delivery from here. Had to wait for 35 minutes, which is rather quick. My favourites are Pad Thai and my man likes Crispy roll. Food quality is decent, it's not too spicy and not blunt read more
Wow, this place is incredible. Having lived in Chicago, I wish I had found it sooner as I miss authentic Asian food from back home. Walking in, you're greeted with this beautiful, almost romantic, atmosphere. The decor is simple, dimly lit and there is a lovely sushi bar in the corner. Its very homely but doesn't quite feel casual, which is nice. For starters, I ordered the avocado tempura. They give it with some lime and a nice spicy mayo-type sauce on the side. The tempura was lightly battered, giving it a nice airiness. I was shocked by how light they made the avocado feel. They also gave so much for $5! Easily 5/5 dish. For entrees, I ordered a Crispy Curry Rice Salad and Pad Thai. The curry rice salad was outstanding. The rice was essentially bits of the crunchy rice you find at the bottom of a good paella, but flavoured with a red curry seasoning. It tasted divine wrapped in the lettuce they give. (5/5). The pad thai was rather other ordinary - just like a pad thai I've had anywhere else in Chicago. I wish I could've had something else on their menu but there wasn't much vegetarian option other than these 2 for the entrees. What I specifically love about Sili Kori is the uniqueness of their dishes. A lot of the dishes are Thai dishes I've never had before, but they still retain the authenticity you look for. I look forward to coming back and trying their son in law eggs, which is the only other vegetarian entree. read more

Wanted to check out some Thai food on a brisk fall Tuesday evening. Decided to check out Silli Kori. Silli Kori has a wonderful interior and atmosphere. It's perfect for a date night. Wasn't packed and busy on a Tuesday night. Just the perfect atmosphere. Service was great. Waitresses were very friendly. So far so good. Now this review isn't going to go downhill. I've vacationed in Thailand before. I had pad thai off the streets for $1 in USD with a $1 tiger beer in Thailand and the amount they give you is insane. Fast forward to reality where now I'm in Chicago in the cold, and at Silli Kori. Decided to get chicken pad thai and the Kao Soi. Kao Soi I swear is the name of one of the red light districts in Bangkok. Don't ask how I know this. LOL. Anyways both dishes were fine. However the noodles on the pad thai were very thin and the meat (chicken) was severely lacking. This dish was $11. If you're charging me $11 for pad thai and making probably a $10 profit off it, at least give me more noodles and chicken man. The Kao Soi was a very interesting dish. I liked the execution and the taste actually. It's a beef stew/curry with fried noodles that get more soft noodle when mixed with the stew. Solid dish! All in all I liked the place but I think you can get your bang for your buck at other places. Service was great. Atmosphere and interior was wonderful. But the food left me hungry for more. 3 stars now. On the edge for 3.5 stars! read more

Silli Kori is silly good... prob not the first person to say this but I'm just being honest. I took my family here and my mother is damn hard to please when it comes to food, claiming she can make w/e a restaurant serves her as better. We have a couple restaurants in our rotation, with Opart Thai being one of them. But given our experience here, it will be hard to go back there. Let's start off with the lunch specials: they are advertised as being served only M-F but the server told me they're served all week long. Score! We started off with Avocado Tempura and Corn Fritters. The avocado tempura was lightly battered and the dipping sauce was delicious. The corn fritters were pretty much hush puppies with sweet thai dipping sauce. Great way to wet the palate. I ordered the moo ping (grilled pork skewers). There was a nice char and the meat was v. tender. Came with sticky rice which I wish had some coconut flavor in it but all in all so good. My parents and gf were all surprised at the quality of food given how few patrons were in the restaurant. Their curries are PACKED with vegetables and are available as lunch specials too. Service was pretty meh but I didn't care to notice with such good food! read more

Outdoor seating was clean and the waitress was extremely helpful. There was a language barrier, our waitress had a thick accent, but we had no issues overcoming it. She was very friendly and attentive. The food was honestly delicious. The ingredients, specifically the vegetables they used, were crisp and fresh. As for drinks, I can vouch for the Singapore Sling. It has a little bit of gin in there that isn't too over-powering. Very nice vibe! read more

Never thought I'd be able to get legit Thai food outside of southern California, but this place was VERY good. I've always walked by this place and thought it was fancy and PRICEY, but it is VERY inexpensive for what you get. Not sure if there was even an entree over $15. So FINALLY having tried it, was a great value. Food and service was exceptional! read more

Im shocked I haven't reviewed Silli Kori, its my neighborhood thai go to! I personally find their cooking to taste very authentic. They have a good cozy ambiance here; dimmed lighting, with dark wood furniture. They have a beautiful mural on one their walls, they play good (low volume) music, and always have a stalk of fresh flower on your table. The service is always good. They have a good lunch special for under $10 which includes an appetizer & an entree. You can add a soup for $2. Consistently delicious dishes. I typically get the Pad Kee Mau, my husband loves his green curry that is also very tasty. Ive also had their appetizers sa their crab soup, the lettuce wraps, crab rangoon. All that i have had are delicious and doesnt taste MSG overloaded or starchy. read more

I was so impressed by this Thai restaurant. It's got great vibes- cool decor yet still with a comfortable feel. My friend and I stopped in here for a late lunch on a cold Saturday to see a nearly-empty dining room. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful when I asked for suggestions. I ordered the chicken pot stickers as my appetizer that's included "free" with an entree, and I'm serious when I say they were the best pot stickers I've had in my life. The light sauce on top gave them an amazing flavor, and the texture allowed a perfect bite. For my entree I got green curry. It was extremely tasty and I can think of nothing negative to say about it, though I wouldn't say it's the best I've had. My friend got a really cute mule drink, and was pleased with that. Overall, great experience here! read more

Pad Thai in a egg envelope? What?! This place is very delicious. My wife wanted Thai for her birthday and she found Silli Kori through looking at the reviews on Yelp. We're glad we took the visit to this place since it turned out to be a pretty great find! Granted, I love Thai food, so it's pretty hard to disappoint, but the pad thai was pretty intriguing. If you're looking for the typical Pad Thai/Pad See Ew, you're not going to find it here (on the menu at least). That said, what they do have is pretty different than what you'd expect from a Thai restaurant. The decor elicits a more intimate and classier Thai restaurant than what you would normally think of Thai restaurants, so a perfect spot for a (cheaper) date. The dish I got was the Kao Soi - egg noodle in a beef curry soup. It was rather delicious and the mustard greens helped keep me wanting more. My wife got the Soi Khaosan Pad Thai, which I assume must be a more special form of Pad Thai. I didn't really get to experience the specialty of breaking into the egg envelope, but I got to taste a bit of it and found it to be quite standard, in a good way! Overall, not a bad place to fill a Thai craving. Sad that there wasn't Pad See Ew on the menu, but glad to have tried what I did! read more
