I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around Printer's Row. We weren't planning on going anywhere for lunch, so this was a spur of the moment decision, and boy was it worth it!
The atmosphere isn't anything spectacular. Kind of your typical mom and pop place, which is not a bad thing!! Just not a place if you're trying to get wowed by their decor or anything.
We only ordered two entrees but they were SO flavorful and delicious! I got the Pad See Eiw and my boyfriend got the Panang Curry. If you like Curry chicken, you have to try this. The amount of different flavors and spices you get from this dish is amazing. It has a slight kick to it, so if you also like spicy you'll love this.
The owners are very sweet people, and so hospitable. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you're in the area :)
(Also, this is definitely a place I would order from for takeout for a hangover cure π)
Cozy little spot in South Loop. We got a variety of items, the crab meat fried rice was good, so were the crab rangoons. We ordered separately, got the salmon, green curry and tom yum soup, no complaints overall. Service was nice too.
Went in for dinner, food was great and the service was quick. The restaurant was empty but they had a lot of takeout orders Iβll probably just do that next time.

I haven't had any opportunity to visit this location in years but my server (the owner) gently reminded me of her previous location in Chicago's Coast on Dearborn Street and immediately my memory was jarred.
This particular location is convenient if you live in Printer's Row (South Loop) and the menu is diverse featuring traditional Thai curry dishes, noodle π entrees, wonderful soup π² and various seafood options including sushi π£ and sashimi.
I chose the seafood soup which is primarily broth, mushrooms, mussels, shrimp, squid π and a variety of onions π° and lemongrass. If you're not feeling well I highly recommend you order their specialty soups because you'll instantly feel better because of all the ginger and other herbs used that make these broths so flavorful.
Another must is ordering the Thai ice tea π΅ and Thai iced coffee β it's one of the best in Chicago and tasty like a dessert.
The restaurant itself is cozy and laid back with plenty of booths by the window if you enjoy people watching.
I remember visiting here in the summer years ago and enjoying outdoor patio seating so I hope π they bring that back this summer so I can relax outside with my mountain dog π
If you love Thai cuisine in a non fussy and relaxed setting you will definitely appreciate this independently owned family restaurant.
Absolutely amazing experience for a first dine, pineapple shrimp curry was phenomenal and seafood salad taste amazing. 5 stars and recommended.
We had dinner tonight and it was wonderful! We had sushi, catfish curry and chicken pad Thai. All delicious. Our server was so kind and helped with our selections. A block away from Hotel Blake. Highly recommend.
Ordered catering for group dinner. Flavorful entrees that were generously portioned. Kids loved the shrimp pad Thai and I want to put the chili sauce on everything. Looking forward to ordering Amarit for self or group in the future.
One of my favorite spots in south loop. I usually get the rice soup, pad knee mao or pad kra pao (basil and chicken). My friend had tuna tataki, it was quite yummy. I like the variety of their food options. The entrance has not 100% perfect ramp, hard for some wheelchair users to navigate though.
My husband and I were on a hunt for a good Thai place and we found it ! The food was delicious ! We got an order of the crab Rangoon , chicken satay and chicken pad Thai noodles amazing ! The price was very reasonable . Will def be our to go spot !
Food was good, service was okay and fast but not at all engaging.
We ordered pad thai, chicken curry and duck curry, were delicious. Spring rolls were not good, sweetness was overpowering. Maki was good.
Owner looked in a hurry with everything, with ordering, wrapping up etc. No WiFi.
Would recommend this place for food if you're in the area!
First and foremost the server is very impressive. With that said, there is/was only one.
This did not impact the experience at all
The food:
Crab Rangoon: at first I thought that maybe this isnβt good, then I had more. This was very good and filling.
Udon soup shrimp/vegetable : flavorful soup and perfectly fried vegetables and shrimp
Pad see eiw: this was good as well, could use more flavor/spice
California roll and Godzilla roll: filling and good
Price was reasonable as well
Soup and crab pictured below
Delicious food, reasonable prices and huge portions! Pictured: spring rolls, pineapple fried rice ( no egg or onion ) and Singapore Curry Noodles
