Appears to be closed. Came by on a Tuesday at 530 pm, posted hours on the door and the website both indicated open Tuesdays till 9 pm. No other sign on door indicating it was closed for vacation, etc. Tried calling twice – no answer and the door was locked. Interior appeared to be in a state of taking apart. Sorry to see Always Thai go. The curry fried rice was awesome!

Pad woon sen was delicious. It was perfectly seasoned and I loved all the veggies that came with it! Yum 🙂

Maybe they are under new management? The menu is limited and, despite what’s on the listing, there is no bubble tea. They don’t accept cash or Amex (and don’t notify you anywhere that they don’t accept cash). Portions are small and the place was cold and dingy.

Excellent service, very convenient from Brown line Irving Park or the 80 bus. The food is great, nice flavor, but portions could be a bit bigger. The lunch special is a steal, less than $8 for an entry, soup, and mini crab rangoons.

Amazing Thai food. Service was good too and prices were super reasonable. Thai tea was on point! FYI- it was empty when we walked up and honestly looked closed. Glad we double checked. No substitutions allowed but tons of variety. Definitely worth a try!

The food is incredibly delicious and they make it insanely spicy if you ask em to, which is great for someone like me who’s a masochist when it comes to spicy food. I’m definitely coming back next time in the mood for some Thai!
