Hands down the best tom kar soup I've ever had. The red curry was delicious with just the right amount of spice. It felt like someone's grandma was in there cooking. The service was amazing the staff was attentive all at a great price.

This eastern restaurant is quite an experience. You can find a menu rich in vegetables and meats. Their soup plates are exquisite. The place is big and clean. The service with the waitresses very friendly.
I had a big bowl of soup with shrimp, an explosion of flavor. Highly recommended. not expensive $$
September 2024
I love coming here when I get chance to be in Oak Park. The food is great, portion size is good, and the service and store cleanliness is top notch.

Dietary restrictions: There are lots of gluten-free options (because a lot of Asian noodles are also made from rice). They take care to ask about allergies/dietary restrictions, but be sure to communicate with your server about your request so they can double check for you!
