Chicago | 🇹🇭 Thai Food Rec — Delicious & Cheap, $10 a Bowl 🍜💰

📍 Spot: Noodles Party 🏙 Address: 4205 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60630 Sharing a super affordable find! This small Thai spot mainly serves noodles at just $10 a bowl, with other dishes around $15 and drinks/desserts at $5 — seriously wallet-friendly! 😍 The menu changes regularly, so you can call ahead or check their FB & IG for updates. Tuesdays and Wednesdays have special menus—feels like a cozy community canteen vibe 😂 Here’s what we tried from the daily menu: 🍜 Spicy Jungle Curry (Chicken Feet & Pork Blood Curry Noodles) – $10 ⭐⭐⭐ Rich and fragrant broth, spice level just right. Great if you’re into pork blood! 🍜 Southern Thai Fish Curry Noodles – $10 ⭐⭐ Staff said it’s the spiciest on the menu—and yes, it’s pretty hot! Fish sauce flavor is strong, includes veggies like bamboo, pumpkin, and long beans. Personally just okay. 🍛 Sun-Dried Pork with Sticky Rice – $15 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The highlight of the meal! 😋 Crispy fried pork with a slight sweetness, not greasy at all—almost like “crispy pork nuggets.” Served with steamed sticky rice (highly recommended by the staff) and a spicy chili sauce that’s fragrant and delicious! 🌶️ 🧋 Drinks: Longan tea & floral tea – $5 ⭐⭐ Standard, a bit sweet. Wanted to switch it up from Thai tea! Overall, a solid spot! Portions are modest—more like street food style. Most customers were Thai, plus plenty of regular American diners who clearly know the staff. Definitely planning to go back on a Tuesday/Wednesday to try the specials! 👍 P.S. Free parking in front 🆓+ paid street parking nearby. #ChicagoFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoRestaurants #Chicago #ExploreChicago #ChicagoLife
