A really good mix of carnivore and vegan meals! Something for everyone! I really enjoyed my vegan BBQ! The flavors were sooo delicious and the plate was huge!! The fake duck was also so tender. My date enjoyed the beef curry. He said it was some of the best in the city!

The pork belly is perfect. It’s so easy to mess up pork belly. I had some from another restaurant this week that was tough and stringy. Not this! The Taiwanese pork belly was soft and melts and perfectly cooked! I would eat this again and again. The restaurant called us to see if my note about ‘no cilantro’ was an allergy or a preference, another bonus point in their favor. We also got crispy egg rolls, thin and perfectly crunchy with a great spicy sweet sauce. Husband got wonton soup with great dumplings and a flavorful broth. Will def order again!!

Basil chicken and beef noodle are good but wow the kerry curry was not good. The rice was too sticky and the curry sauce was too sweet. I asked for medium spice but the sweetness was too overwhelming. Really disappointing experience today. And plus, the people in the kitchen kept staring at me for some reason. I know I'm good looking (jokes) but they really shouldn't constantly stare at a person like that

Phenomenal Thai food! Definitely check them out, and you'll quickly find nothing is bad. Great staff, and decent prices. On average 11-14 for a rice bowl. You can't go wrong!

Their Beef Noodle was great. The noodles were perfectly cooked and not too soft. The flavor was so intense. It has a topping of a veggie leaf and some chicharon. Chicaron is a fried pig skin. It was tasty and a little bit salty. It was crunchy to eat and perfect for the noodles.Their Basil Chicken is the best. It has chicken, shrimp, carrots, veggies and they also have rice. It was incredibly amazing. I can't get enough of it. You can eat this dish if you come here. I'm sure you will never be disappointed about their food on their menu.They also had a good place and a great service. They will greet you with a smile. I highly recommend this restaurant. Come and try this place.

Quick & hot Southeast Asian inspired meals, casual & bright restaurant by Western blue line station.? basil chicken: saucy, piping hot, balanced flavor. A bit heavy on protein, light on rice & veg, but tasty! Served with runny egg.? Thai iced tea and boba: just the right amount of sweetness. Very comforting!

This place is in Bucktown just beside Western station. The staff are super friendly and the food is great! Our favorite is the Khao Soi chicken, but I’ve also tried to Tom Yum, vegan duck, and curry. It’s good to dine in or to grab takeout, maybe to go to the Green Eye pub just down the street.

There are a lot of great restaurants in this neighborhood but this is probably my favorite. It's the one I find myself coming back to despite having so many left to try. The service is always good, the food is better and the prices are reasonable, maybe even a tiny bit cheaper than other similar restaurants.Great place to go if you have a mixed group of vegan/vegetarians and meat eaters because there are some great options for all so no one feels like they're compromising or missing out. I don't have any restrictions but I've tried some of the vegan versions when I've gone with my partner, and I think in particular the vegan duck soup (they switch the noodles to make the dish vegan) is great. I don't think vegans will miss the taste of duck with that dish, it's pretty spot on and even the texture is good. But there are of course other options and they're clearly labeled which is also super helpful.It's just off the Western stop so a good place to eat right before or after taking the train.

Very impressed with this Thai Street Food takeout and dine in restaurant. The server was SO accommodating for our 2 year old on whether a high chair or booster would be better. They had a kid-friendly plastic divided plate for him and the regular dishware and chopsticks for adults.Also impressed with the menu! We enjoyed everything we ordered including the Tom Kha soup with medium spice, the fried oysters, vegetarian “pork” sweet buns, kimchi rice bowl, and coconut cakes dessert. Will definitely be going back again and can’t wait to try the crepes and Thai ice cream.

Amazing authentic Thai food! We just returned from Thailand and this food tastes like we brought it home on the plane! Highly recommend the sweet chili chicken!
