My sweet-and-sour lacked the spice level asked for and was kind of dry. I would normally remedy this by condiments on the table, but there were none. I asked for some chili sauce and a very small bowl and bottle were brought out, but nothing else was offered. One person was committed to the dining room and either cooking or prep cooking which made service a little slower. It may just not be my Thai taste, as I have a friend that loves it, so you might want to try for yourself.

The restaurant was a decent size with just about every table with a table top grill for bbq! I ordered the tofu stew which came quickly. Everything was delicious. However, hours later my stomach was really upset with this meal being the first and last thing I had eaten. Maybe something was sat out or expired. Idk but I'm going to give it another chance! The soup was VERY good!!

My friend and I ordered takeout so I can't speak for the service or atmosphere. However, our orders were correct and ready at the expected time. Warning that if you are ordering ahead, it seems like it's usually a 30 min wait time or more. I will be back :)

There is a lot to park in west of the building which is helpful given all of the construction. I got the blackstone tonk and my husband got the menudo ramen. Both were good, but note this place has a decent amount of spicy options. My favorite is to get the hot noods (on the small plate section) and add some protein or other add-ons. Great on a cold day and the staff at any location are good. Also they make their own noodles! There's someone making the noodles at the front window by the kitchen.

My other friend ordered the chicken lo mein, which also tasted syrupy and odd. I see the good reviews and I love Asian food, but something was off about the food at this place. The server was nice and friendly despite all of this and prices are very reasonable, but I won't go back to put myself through this pain again.

Just be careful with how much spice you ask for, a 3 was HOT! But very very good!! The Katsu was AMAZINGGGGGG and the portions are generous, it made great left overs! I am excited to go back and try their boba teas! The starters were amazing, I love crab Rangoon and these were fresh and amazing. We came 1 hour before close because of downtown traffic being so bad, they did not mind and served us fast and the waitress was so kind. It's a very laid back space with plenty of seating!

I am guessing 90% of the business is takeaway. Very limited seating. On street parking is plentiful. I had the Korean bbq beef. No rice. I had an extra portion of protein and two portions of extra veggies. Total bill was around $20. Tons of delicious food. A normal dinner would run about $10 or $12 bucks. Location is hard to find the first time you go. Use Apple Maps or Google Maps to get there. This is key - the restaurant is located on the SW corner of north 24th and Chicago UNDER THE VERTICAL capitolrows SIGN. See photo of sign that I uploaded. Highly recommended.

I'm a big fan of the spicy chicken ramen... it's so tasty I get too excited to take a picture of it! I've also had a number of their small plates and I always come back to the crispy rice with tuna. It's so fresh, crispy, and spicy. The wait staff is always amazing in taking care of their customers. They feel more like friends than someone taking care of your table and it leaves me feeling happy to be there. If you get the chance to order in, I highly recommend.

When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty and there was only one server, but since it wasn't busy, we figured it would be fine. She checked on us quickly, and the food came out fast. The food was delicious, as always. It was a colder day, so we both ordered soups, and they were perfect! Also, servings were big enough for left overs :) The only downside was at the end of our meal. We were trying to check out, and it took quite a while to track down the server so we could pay. We understand she was the only one working, but there were probably no more than three tables total and one takeout customer. We would've just left cash and gone, but since we had to pay with cards, we had to wait. I've tried to avoid going during busy times because I know service can get slow, but we thought it would be quicker with so few tables. It still took longer than expected. Other than that, the food was great. I love the coconut chicken soup, it's always amazing.
