“ Fantastic food, well priced, very kind staff! Highly recommend trying the pad thai. I will definitely be back! ”
“ ive tried Phad Thia all over, and nothing compares to this It's a must have when I get back to the city ”
“ Seriously the best Thai food around! The portions are great. The flavor is amazing and unbeatable. Just know it is only takeout now, no more dine in. By far the best Thai food around (both Chicago proper and nearby suburbs). Amazing! ”
“ Some of the best noodles and rice in the city with excellent prices . This establishment has been here for long time . Food never disappoints. ”
“ This was my first time visiting/ trying this place as a carry out order. When I visited the restaurant the entrance door was blocked off and you were unable to even enter the restaurant (not sure what that was about); however, the Pad Thai was pretty good and definitely was a nice portion for the price. ”
“ Best Thai in Chicago - 10/10 for 20+ years and counting! The green curry, pad thai and thai iced tea is unmatched. ”
“ Only available for takeout now, but the portions and service are great! They also have a nice seating area with tables outside and some lights at night. ”
“ DANG! I can't believe I didn't rate my old college stomping grounds joints. Guess I didn't yelp back then. This place is BOMB! Huge portions, and it may not be the best but when you're a starving student you defintitely love it! Good pad thai, huge bowl. Guess that's why they call it Thai BOWL! ”
“ Had a craving for Thai and this was the closest place near me so being new to the area decided to try it out. It is a small shop, and there is street parking in the nearby streets. Wasn't very busy on the inside but they seem to have had a decent amount of delivery orders. Was a bit confused by the set up as it doesn't immediately tell you to sit down and then order OR order and then sit down, but cashier/server was helpful in clarifying my confusion. They have lunch combos and special drinks that aren't listed on the menu, which is good to consider for next lunch time. However, I really wanted curry. Got myself the panang curry with tofu and one of the special drinks, the horchata Thai iced tea. The prices are good for the amount of food, but I also don't think the food is that spectacular. It's not bad, but it's just okay. A bit shocked that they don't ask for a spicy level preference, which didn't bother me at first cause the spice level was perfect for me, but had I wanted it spicier that wasn't provided for me. Good peanut taste for the curry though! I love horchata. I love Thai iced tea, so I was really looking forward to this fusion drink. I think that the horchata overwhelms the Thai tea that it doesn't have that wow-ness that I was expecting. Still, gotta admire the creativity. Might come again and try the pad Thai, and the regular Thai tea. ”
