    I went to this place for dinner with friends, and we started with a few appetizers. The papaya salad was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the chicken stews were well-marinated. The pig foot rice was amazing too. The whole place had an authentic vibe, with Thai music playing in the background. The coconut pudding was also very good. We will definitely come back to try more dishes and highly recommend this place!

    Food tastes as good as it does on the streets of Bangkok. I haven't come across any other Thai place in Chicago that's been able to accomplish that authenticity. The pork belly especially packs a punch. The service is excellent. Friendly and efficient staff. The atmosphere isn't pretentious. It's simple and cozy. All in all I'd say this is the best Thai restaurant I've had in Chicago.

    The best Thai food I’ve had in Chicago! The stew pork noodles were absolutely incredible rich, flavorful, and so tender that it melted in my mouth. It brought back memories of the ones I had in Bangkok. The fried chicken with chicken rice had great flavor, though the chicken was a bit on the tougher side. The Thai tea was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and a refreshing complement to the meal. Overall, an amazing spot for authentic Thai flavors!

    Echo many of the other reviews to say that the food was terrific and authentic, service was friendly and prompt, and prices were very reasonable. I had the basil rice with seafood, which is pictured and reminded me of actual southeast Asian street food in all the best ways. I took a chance on coconut pudding since someone else on here recommended it, and that was the perfect way to end my meal. Can't wait to come back.
