Lovely Thai restaurant in West Loop! The food was fresh and the portion sizes were generous. I appreciate that the Thai entrees included rice unlike other restaurants I’ve been to lately. Service was great and we were seated quickly on a Saturday. The menu includes both sushi and Thai dishes.

This was the first time my husband and I went. The staff was super friendly as soon as we walked in. We are not huge sushi people but we decided to try the king kong roll. It was amazing especially if you like the crunch from tempera. We will get that again for sure. The Midori sour was excellent. Talay just became our favorite Thai restaurant in West Loop.

Wonderful little Thai restaurant with a small vegan menu and some delicious drinks. Our server Jan was very helpful and gave us a vegan menu when we told her we are vegetarian. She explained that certain dishes have the fish sauce that we should avoid. We got an app, a Pad Thai, a vegan maki roll and 2 drinks…. Plenty of food for two people. The lychee martini was delicious! All in was like $70, which is typical for west loop.
