Mahanakhon Noodle Bar

🍑Half of the patrons in the restaurant are Thai people! From Tuesday to Friday, there is a Lunch Special from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., only for 12🔪, and it comes with a free drink. The menu includes both rice noodles and rice dishes, with a wide variety of options! We also ordered their signature dishes, which were amazing! The Lunch Special menu is on the last page. 🍑For the Lunch Special, we ordered Boat Noodles and Tom Yum Noodle Soup. The Boat Noodles are made with a spicy pig blood soup, along with stewed beef brisket chunks, pig liver, meatballs, and crispy pork skin. It sounds a bit unusual, but the taste is really great! The Tom Yum Noodle Soup is made with pork bone broth, pork, and topped with bean sprouts, green onions, and crushed peanuts. It feels like a very flavorful Tom Yum rice noodle dish. 🍑There are three free drink options: chrysantheum juice (chrysanthemum), roselle juice (hibiscus), and butterfly pea. We ordered the butterfly pea drink, which is very pretty, but a bit too sweet. Their Thai Tea and Thai Green Tea are also delicious, and I recommend ordering them separately. 🍑Crispy Calamari -- Fried Squid Rings The fried squid rings are served with a sweet and sour sauce. Their fried squid rings are quite unique, with a Thai shrimp chip flavor, and a bit of peppery spiciness. #Chicago Thai Food #Chicago Thai Cuisine
