Will caveat that am giving 3 stars on atmosphere because this isn’t really a place where have dined in. One of my favorite Thai places to order in from. Traditional, flavorful and follow instructions when want to make modifications. Appetizers are always tasty, curries are full and flavorful, the noodle dishes are also full of flavor and never dry.

Recommend trying their Panang curry - great presentation and taste

This place has been around a while and in general, I've always considered it pretty good. However, my order on Friday left a lot to be desired. Not sure if management changed or what. My shu mai did not have any sauce with it and my Khoi soy came with what seriously looked and tasted like cheap packaged ramen noodles. The curry also had very little flavor. I hope this was just a fluke and they are able to turn it around. But based on this last visit I'll be waiting a bit before giving them another chance.

Came by for lunch. Service was acceptable, ambiance relaxed/casual and food was great. Highlight was the basil eggplant, curry was pleasant not overly sweet and the fried rice was delicious. Certainly a repeat type of establishment. FYI you are in a rush use an alternative.

This restaurant has very delicious food! We ordered the Kaw Soy and Wonton Shrimp and loved it. The food is well cooked, tastes authentic and has HUGE servings. I am a vegetarian and my partner is a carnivore and we can always eat here amicably together. The ambiance is cute and cozy, feels very at home. Also the Jasmine Tea is perfectly bitter and creates the perfect warm belly feeling

Been coming to this place and agree on what a previous poster said about the ambience for in person dining just not being the same post COVID. That being said this place is hands down the best thai in Chicago at the most reasonable price. I love their chicken satay, panang curry, the Tom Yum is amazing, and ofc Pad Thai. I think everything in their menu is amazing. Oh and also the deserts. Who’d have thought?! The mango sticky rice is amazing. The thai custard is such a unique texture and flavor. This place is bomb dot com.

The service and atmosphere are a little subpar but their outstanding food makes up for it. Everything we ordered was delicious, including the catfish, the orange chicken and the Panang curry.

The food was okay, it was the profiling I could have done without. I have a very Anglo name, and since I ordered online, they wouldn't know what to expect. So when I walked in to pickup my order, I didn't expect the interrogation that I received. Clearly, the gentleman there was not expecting my African American self to be ordering Thai food. Needless to say, I will not be back.

Ownership has changed and the man now in charge of the front of house is extremely unfriendly. We felt very unwelcome here. No smiles, no please and thank you. Menus were thrown at us and snatched away after we ordered. We were yelled at when we didn't immediately specify what type of meat we wanted with our noodles. Other customers who were dining in and picking up were also yelled at and treated with contempt. It actually became comical to watch. There used to be a very kind woman running this restaurant, and we loved dining in and supporting this local business. We will not return.
I got the panang Curry with tofu and crab ragoon. Both were great. It was pricy but I'd order from here again. The curry was a bit sweet and spicy and the peanut butter wasn't overwhelming.

Waited forever for some of the worst Thai food I've ever had. The pad Thai was sweet and gucky . . . inedible. The seafood fishy. The sauces tasted as though they came from jars. I can't imagine what others are talking about. I feel bad for those who run the restaurant and hate to leave a bad review. But I've been to Thailand often and this is worse than anything I can possibly imagine. From some of the reviews, I can only imagine that at some point it was good, but I can assure you, it is not anymore.

Consistently great food. Unbelievable flavors from every dish tried. Fast service. Chicken Satay, Crab Rangoon, Panang Curry, Sesame Chicken, Thai Pepper Steak all winners!

Came here for the first time during a study break. Never heard of it, never saw a review and was pleasantly surprised on how good the food was. I had a go-to spot near me that unfortunately the quality of the food and service took a dive, but this one will be my new go-to even if it's a little longer drive. The coconut curry was great! And the tofu satay was crisp with the peanut sauce. I'm coming back.
