Anna's Thai Kitchen Restaurant

My non-vegan Mom loves this place so it’s in our rotation. The owner is so pleasant and charming that I like to support the place. I get the Tom Yum soup and/or the Papaya salad, both are very good. Services can be a little slow, especially because it gets quite busy with large groups, so remember to stop by the liquor store next door so you can enjoy the pace.

Delightful Thai food restaurant and a new favorite of ours. Anna, the owner, came out to chat with us, much to our delight. Great people, family business, delicious food, good portions —what more could you ask for?

The best Thai food in Chicago. Genuinely authentic. Consistently amazing.

Even better, fully Zabiha Halal. No alcohol served. No pork served. Truly halal. Thank you so much 💕😋 I tell everyone, Muslim or not, to come eat here.

The most amazing HALAL THAI RESTAURANT in the entirety of the Chicagoland area! Highly recommend, Anna is the sweetest and came out to give us free appetizers and shared how her family member only eats halal hence the usage of Zabiha Halal Meat! I had the Tom Kha Chicken Soup - the chicken was so flavorful! The Pad See Ew with Beef, was the STAR OF THE SHOW, it was freshly made steaming w perfect egg noodles and melt in your mouth steak.

Best Halal Thai food I have had! The flavors are so on point! Literally loved every dish that we got. Really appreciate the different spice levels, so easy for kids and adults to enjoy. The tiger steak is definitely a must try! Love the ambiance of the place as well! Everything was super clean, and staff was very organized and attentive! Definitely recommend making a reservation if you don’t want to wait around for a table.

First time here food was on point. The noodles were so good little spicy but that’s my fault I ordered extra spicy. The dragoon beef was tender and filled with flavor. They also had a lot of mocktail options. Will be coming back soon. Oh and the service was great. Very family friendly as well.

Very good and VERY hot red curry. Lychee lemonade was great. Chive pockets were good. The miang kham is probably the most interesting appetizer I have ever eaten.

Amazing food; one of the best meals I have had eating out in the last few years, and I have been eating out in Manhattan for so long, but this place is memorable amongst all of those. Had the egg rolls, papaya salad a s a few other vegetarian entrees and all was delicious. New favorite restaurant in Chicago.

If you enjoy Asian cuisine and eat HALAL, this place is for you! The chicken and beef were halal and excellent. I had the pho noodle soup with beef and the texture was authentic and AMAZING! The chef pays extra detail to making the beef soft, tender, and full of flavor. The staff are very kind and attentive to accommodations. Definitely a 15/10 place and a must try if you’re looking to explore halal food!
