After hearing great things, I finally had a chance to eat at Thai Neighbor. Let me tell you, I have never felt so welcome in a restaurant ever. Food is incredible and it is run by the most lovely people.

Everything was excellent. Way above and beyond my expectations. Run, don’t walk, to Thai Neighbor next time you’re looking for a good meal.

Updating just to add that I got to visit again nearly a year later and this place is still amazing! The menu is clearly marked, staff was kind and knowledgeable, and the food was simply phenomenal. ---- Absolutely amazing spot with clearly marked vegan options and an amazing owner. We stopped in while visiting Chicago and will definitely be back for more! Hands down the best vegan pad see ew I've ever had! The chive dumplings were simply heavenly and so was the Woonsen....
