I love this place! The lunch special is a great deal. I love their udon noodles but beware because they can be a little bit too spicy. I order them mild!

First time here and had an amazing experience. The food was amazing and delicious. Papaya Salad: I always order this dish when I hit up any Thai restaurant and this place did not disappoint me. The salad was well marinated and well-balanced with the flavors. Corn Salad: I have always heard about corn salad, but never had the chance to try it until this time. AND I absolutely love it! The flavor is very similar/same to the papaya salad, and it does come with some papayas within it! I would definitely order this again in the future. And I love how they used fresh large shrimps instead of dried shrimps (used in the papaya salad). Pork Liver Salad: I'm not a big meat person, but this dish was recommended by my Thai friend. This dish is not bad, I actually enjoyed it and it's definitely worth trying! If you are not afraid of trying new dishes then I think this is definitely with the try! It has a sour taste and is well-balanced with the kick from the onions that it comes with. Pork Shoulder: I have tried better pork shoulder in another Thai restaurant. This dish was a bit oily, so I'm not a huge fan of it, but the rest of my friends did. So, if you are a fan of meat then it is still worth ordering. Spicy Basil: This is my friend's favorite dish and she loved it! She enjoyed this dish so much! Seafood Po Tak Hot Pot: This is very similar to Tom Yum soup but with basil added to it. I love seafood, but the amount of seafood and the variety of seafood included is limited. I have tried better ones, so this can be a skip. But overall the flavor is still nice and enjoyable, just wish it had included more seafoods. Seafood Sukiyaki: I was really surprised by the flavor, amount and the seafood of this dish. The flavor of this dish was amazing. Even though this was ordered at the end, we still managed to finish it. Sticky Rice: if you never had sticky rice then I suggest you trying stick rice over jasmine rice. I thought Thai sticky rice is similar to glutinous rice, but I was wrong. It is actually jasmine rice soaked in water overnight and then steamed. It is definitely worth ordering instead of the ordinary jasmine rice. Overall, the food was authentic and amazing. I'm actually shocked to see not much pictures posted. This restaurant is definitely worth an in-person visit, the restaurant itself got an amazing and coming design. The service was outstanding as well. Also, the price is very reasonable and affordable.

Some of the best Thai food I've had in Chicago. Don't come if you don't like spice.

This is the best Thai food I have ever had! Definitely the best Thai food in Chicago. The service is fantastic. You need to get the crispy pad Thai! The tamarind chicken wings are also to die for! The drunken noodles and the duck pad see ew are also a hit. 10/10 the service is amazing

SPICY

Best papaya salad in city hand down. Northeastern region authentic flavors hand down. Salty, spicy, earthy, and funky flavors in the good way. Tamarind chicken wings are out of control. Boat noodles are lit.

In terms of atmosphere it’s a cute small place, not much happening in terms of atmosphere. The food on the other hand was amazing, and I don’t say that lightly. I got the duck curry, and it was fantastic, the flavors had such depth it was great until the last drop. 10/10 will be back, highly recommend.

Saw 4.5 stars rating and expected good food, very disappointed. We arrived at 7pm on Friday night and there were 5 people inside. The curry I ordered had a weird taste that I can’t describe, maybe nutmeg? My friend ordered papaya salad that tasted of MSG, the Thai sausage also tasted weird. The only tasty dish was the teriyaki beef however the texture of the beef was very tough and chewy. The waitress was nice .

Very expensive. Small soup is $11. They did not follow the directions for spice levels. Not the best thai food…also not the worst. It was fine.
