I love this place. Have been coming here for years with my family and friends. Always a welcoming vibe, like home. Too many favorites on the menu to list them all but definitely get the crispy rice salad and the beef jerky. You won’t be mad about about the fried chicken or the noodles or the curries or really anything!

Our family dined here on a Saturday night. They seem to do mostly take out and it was really quiet in the restaurant. The ambiance could be better, but the staff was friendly. We tried the pad thai, some curries, and the orange chicken. The food was standard Thai flavorings and fine. The curries were really watery which wasn’t what I would expect. We got baby egg rolls for the starter and those were a hit with our toddler. All in all it was a nice family dinner – good for a neighborhood spot for takeout, but probably won’t dine in again.

It’s a small, family-run spot with functional if not flashy indoor seating. The food, however, is top notch. I’ve tried Pad Woonsen, Thai Omelet on Rice, & of course the Pad Thai, & all were excellent. It seems like they’re still sorting out the pricing & online presence, but are helpful if you call with any questions. Recommended

We looked for another Thai restaurant for dine-in. This one was remotely to us, so we thought twice. Turned out that it was not bad, just service that was slow due to lack of staffs. They apologized for that. We ordered Thai Papaya Salad, Thai style fried chicken, Northestern style sausages, Chinese broccoli with crispy pork. By the way, it was BYOB. I did not take pics at this time.

Very fresh and authentic Thai. Reasonably priced & BYOB. Try the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, Thai beef jerky, Isaan sausage, and fried rice Nam (fermented pork). My favorite Thai on Western (there are a string of them). They just started doing indoor dining again & are short staffed – service may be a bit slower, but the owners (also the chefs) are so kind and will chat about the dishes if you ask. Highly recommended.

Best Thai in Chicago and maybe this side of the Mississippi. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. The crispy rice salad, ground chicken basil and Thai beef jerky are all standouts. But in the dozens of times I’ve ordered from here, I’ve never had a bad dish. Some items (like the crispy rice salad) are only available if you dine in or call in your order, they’re not available on the online menu. The owners are super nice and the dining room is BYOB.

The food here is pretty damn good, especially the Thai chicken appetizer. The issue is that they don’t give you enough sauce for this dish. I asked for extra sauce of course (knowing that this is a problem) and received what’s in the image below. It’s like somebody is messing with me….it’s a joke right? How is this enough sauce for 6 pieces of chicken??? You couldn’t even fill one tiny plastic cup??? Get it together, c’mon!

This is our favorite Thai restaurant right now. The food tastes fresher and is better prepared than almost any other place we have tried. We haven’t hit all the top places in Chicago (been to Spoon Thai and Opart before they moved, which are both very good), but this is the best we have tried. Service is great, very polite and prompt. Don’t let the plain interior fool you. This is great food.
