“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !“

“Papaya Salad, Grilled Squid, Crab meat fried rice.“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Everything was incredible. This was our first time going and it was phenomenal. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and it was amazing, I tried some pad see ew, also phenomenal. The larb Kai was great, the service was on top of it and so friendly. The food was fast, inexpensive and delicious. Could not ask for more from a restaurant.
A bit of a small space, but very accommodating; I was in a party of five including a wheelchair user and they were tremendously helpful.
Will be going back.“

“Excellent food with the perfect spice level of my Penang curry. Food was fresh, attractive and delicious! Excellent service - our server even let us try a bit of Thai coffee- as neither of us had ever had it. I don’t ever drink coffee and typically don’t like it, but if I were to pick up that habit, I’d drink that stuff for sure-lol! Anna the owner checked in on us and was very attentive to all the guests. I highly recommend this place- and it’s byob!“

“Came in here on my lunch break and the server was very nice and attentive. The Thai iced tea I got was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood soup I got was delicious. The prices were also good given the portion sizes. If I’m ever back in this part of the city I’m definitely returning here again“

“Absolutely the best Thai food in Wrigleyville!!! Not to mention Chef Tee, Julie and staff are the best!! This is a must stop for us when we visit.“

“This place was so cute and the food was amazing! We got the chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, crispy basil pork belly and crab fried rice. My favorite was the crispy basil pork belly! It was incredible and flavorful.

I also appreciated the cute decor. It was very charming inside and felt cozy.“

“We recently stayed in Andersonville and I was blown away by the gluten free options available. We got a chicken pad Thai takeout from Jin Thai, which turned out to be enough to share; flavorful, juicy, and delicious. No reaction from me, and I am a very sensitive celiac. Later we returned to eat in, and I enjoyed a delicious green curry with no ill effects. The staff are knowledgeable about gluten and I felt completely safe.“

“Having wanted to dine here. Finally did! Wow, amazing cuisine.“

“Absolutely. Amazing. WOW!“

“Nice and comfortable ambiance & decor. Great food, tradition Isan cuisine, perfect seasoning, delicious and not like any other Thai restaurant in the City!!! The service is very friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable! Definitely going back!!!!“

“Eat Fine is a special place. Not only is their menu extensive and their food incredible, they really care about their community, the service is amazing and they always do whatever they can to help you out. But most importantly, their food is top notch. There isn't anywhere I know of that makes such delicious, fresh tasting Thai food, and I'm so lucky to have it in my neighborhood. You really owe it to yourself to visit.“

“Crab Rangoon and chicken satay was great.
I couldn't decide between pad ke mao and panag curry, they had a panang wide noodle hybrid dish but it was more like thin panang soup Instead of A stir fry. I wouldn't order it again.
Service was great.“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“Delicious and fresh Thai food that can’t be beat! The crab Rangoons are the best around, the Real Thai roll was so fresh and absolutely mouth watering delicious! I always get pad Thai and it’s truly one of the best I’ve had! And the Tiger Cries entree is phenomenal!“

“great variety of noodles and vegetables. the service was perfect, on a busy Saturday night.“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“Super delicious massaman curry with lamb tomahawk. My only complaint was they didn't give us a knife or extra bowls, we were splitting it, and it was not possible to eat liquid off a flat plate. Roti was delicious as well, but it doesn't come with rice fyi.“

“Been going here for a very long time. owners are great , food is amazing. Chicken Larb is very good. Nam Tok. They make a very good Thai coffee“

“It’s not every day you see a family-owned restaurant that's been around for 40 years. They are currently doing takeout only but if they've been around for that long, they must be doing something right. And unsurprisingly, the food here was just as good as some of the most highly regarded Thai restaurants in the city. The spice levels and flavors were undeniably authentic.

The pad kee mao was nicely charred and the noodles were satisfyingly chewy. The nam tok had smoky grilled beef in an incredibly addictive sauce and sprinkled with a generous amount of toasted rice. Pla koong was a particularly interesting dish. It has the same sauce as the nam tok but was additionally loaded with various herbs, making it much more refreshing and complex. The shrimps were slightly raw in the center almost like ceviche. Texturally, they were softer and more flexible, with more of a chew rather than the firm snap of cooked shrimp. Flavorwise, the natural sweetness of the shrimps came through much more clearly. The papaya salad was alright and ended up being the weakest dish of the meal.

I have seen they occasionally hand out watermelon when it’s in season. Now I have another reason to come back and test my luck.“

“Thai O Clock rocks! Banging food. Nice cozy environment. Reasonable prices. If you’re on West Peterson, give it a try.“

“One of my longtime favorites!!! Glad they are open.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The Tom Yum was one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, rich, and delicious. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food!“

“I ordered the Thai green curry with tofu and it was yummy.

The reason its not 5 stars, its because I rated in comparison to other green curries ive had. The curry was a little light, I like it a bit thicker. And the vegetables were also light (not a lot).“

“I was in the neighborhood and made it just in time for their lunch special, between 11-1pm. I had the cashew chicken with a spring roll to start, and a Thai Ice tea. The server asked how spicy I wanted it and gave a choice between 1-5, I chose 4, but when it came out they had forgotten to add it, so he quickly took it back to add it. It was a chopped up Thai chili and the dish was delicious and fresh tasting. Can't wait to go back and try a different dish.“

“Ice cream delicious in Chinatown Chicago.“

“It is a small family-owned restaurant with nice decor and friendly staff. The food is all good, I personally like their duck basil, broccoli beef, and chicken satay best. They also have a variety of good smoothies!“

“We stopped in before going to see the Jackson Park Cherry Blossoms. What delicious food! The spring rolls were my favorite kind - and so good! We had those, pot stickers, cucumber salad and crab Rangoon as we were doing a lunch of apps. Excellent food and such great service. Already planning on when we can get back! 💗💗💗“

“My friend and I went there to go eat. Our experience was FANTASTIC. The food was amazing ,very clean environment and the people there are amazing. 10/10 recommended to everyone!!“

“It’s a cute restaurant that offers indoor and outdoor seating. They have a selection of cocktails but I didn’t get to try it. We ordered these corn fritters which were pretty good. Something I never had before! The khao soi was okay. I thought the duck curry was better and had more flavor.“

“The decor was austere and very zen. There service was prompt and attentive. Serene music. The food was excellent and you can have your spice level. The spring rolls were fresh with sweet and sour sauce and vegetables crispy, tofu satay crispy on the outside with delicious peanut sauce. My Massaman Curry with peanuts was creamy with potatoes cooked firm, not mushy. My friends had Panang, which they equally enjoyed. We shared 3 desserts: Mango sticky rice (mango was over ripe), Coconut ice cream (lacked coconutty flavor) and the Custard, which was overly eggy and if you're not into sweets, its perfect. Overall prices were reasonable. Definitely a recommend. Parking was doable.“

“We came here after the festival, and it was exactly what we needed. The food was so comforting after a night of drinking. Back home in Thailand, it’s common to end the night with a bowl of rice congee, and this place gave me that same feeling. It really reminded me of those late-night meals back home. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Really enjoyed this place! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the portions were very generous. The food was flavorful and tasted really good. Everything we ordered was satisfying. Definitely a nice spot for Thai noodles — we’ll be back!“

“Really good authentic food. These servers are meticulous and anticipated every need before we even asked. I dined with 5 friends and all 6 of us got different orders and all loved each one. I next found myself trying to figure out what I would order next time I’m there!“

“A wonderful surprise in the neighborhood... everything was delicious and fresh“

“Bún bò siêu ngon. Rất là ưng ý 🥰🥰🥰“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Good food! What I like about Dena Kitchen there is no msg in their cooking!“

“Such a good Thai place in Uptown!! The service was average but quick. The food was amazing. I had been craving pad Thai for a while and finally got it and now I’ve been wanting to go back to try more dishes. The menu was vast so there’s plenty to choose from. Would recommend“

“Very nice atmosphere. Awesome old bar. Great food. Quick service“

“First able the food it was delicious . Flavor, presentation, but i would have like a little more food in my plate to make it worth the cost. Someday I’ll back without a doubt… 😊“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“Food was very good but they didn't have soup spoons & also rice should always come with your meals. We order Tum Yum Shrimp soup but had to order the rice separately.“

“Came in after a late shift having a loose idea of what I wanted. Clay was of great help and was able to list a few options for me to be able to order a delicious meal. I also definitely recommend their Thai Iced Tea. He even kept it cool in the fridge until my order was ready. Very considerate!“

“The best Thai food experience I’ve had in my life. The Boat Noodles were insanely beautiful and delicious! The Papaya Salad was perfectly balanced and crisp. The Thai Tea was sweet and refreshing. The ambiance and service was kind and authentic!

$72 total for a dinner for 3 with a shared app, 3 drinks, and a dessert!

10/10 would recommend!“
