SaiMai Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Chicago

Yikes. Came here for lunch and was pretty disappointed. My boyfriend and I are both vegetarian, and we ordered veggie egg rolls, panang curry, and pad thai.

Our little kids enjoyed their pad see wee which was wonderful for any parent that have fussy eaters. We got Mongolian beef. It wasn't prepared they way I expected which would be more Chinese stir-fry style with lots of onions but this version was still very good. The basil chicken was spicy but the flavor was off and wasn't as great as other Thai places for me. We also got egg noodle kee mao which was meh. maybe it would have been better if i stuck to the usual...
