🇺🇸 Chicago x Thai Food | 5 Must-Order Dishes! Thai Food Lovers

🐽🍽 Thai Summer Roll 💬 I really love this one! So fresh and light—perfect for balancing out the rich and heavy flavors of Thai food. Highly recommend starting with it! 🍽 Tom Kha Coconut Soup 💬 A huge pot of coconut milk-based tom yum soup. It's tangy, spicy, and fragrant with coconut—definitely worth a try! 🍽 Grilled Pork Jowl 💬 Pretty average… the meat wasn’t very flavorful or well-grilled. Honestly, skip it. 🍽 Zabb Wings 💬 Just regular fried chicken. Though juicy and tender, it’s nothing special—save your stomach for better dishes. 🐽🍽 Morning Glory 💬 The stir-fried water spinach is amazing! Super fragrant, wok-hei packed, and generously portioned 😍😍 🍽 Kana Moo Krob 💬 Don’t order! The pork belly was tough and dry—seriously, stay away from this one! 🐽🍽 Spicy Ribeye Basil 💬 This is delicious! The beef is tender, and it’s packed with wok-hei and spice—great for those who love bold flavors. But here’s a tip: skip ordering it as a standalone dish and instead add ribeye as a topping to your pad kra pao or stir-fried noodles! Trust me, it tastes exactly the same and is more budget-friendly 😉 🍽 Creamy Crab Curry 💬 Avoid it—the curry is way too oily. 🐽🍽 Tomahawk Short Rib Massaman Curry 💬 So good—I order it every time! A bit pricey but totally worth it. The meat falls apart tenderly, and the curry is rich and coconut-creamy. The portion is huge too! Plus, they’ve recently upgraded it with crispy roti on the side 😇 Seriously, you need this 🥹 🍽 Crispy Shrimp w Coconut Sauce 💬 Don’t order, you’ll regret it. Basically shrimp coated in coconut-flavored starch, deep-fried, and served with a coconut sauce. Not a fan… 🍽 Pad Kra Pao 💬 Classic basil minced pork rice! If you order it, I recommend adding ribeye as a topping 😄 🐽🍽 Pad Kee Mao 💬 Absolutely incredible—MUST ORDER! Compared to pad kra pao, their stir-fried wide rice noodles are next-level delicious. Super fragrant, perfectly spicy, and bursting with wok-hei! PLEASE add ribeye to it—it’s a game-changer! The noodles soak up all the sauce and are tender yet slightly charred. Honestly, this dish shares the exact same seasoning and ingredients as the spicy ribeye basil, so ordering this is a smarter choice! 🍽 Mango Sticky Rice 💬 Honestly, inconsistent. Sometimes the mango isn’t very fresh 🥲 🐽🍽 Thai Tea Cheesecake 💬 Order it! Compared to the sticky rice, this dessert is a winner. The Thai tea flavor is rich and bold, and it comes with a scoop of coconut ice cream—it could easily be sold in a dessert shop! #ThaiFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFoodGuide #FoodieFinds #MustTryChicago #ThaiInChicago
