Located squarely on the corner of N Kedzie and W George in Logan Square, this small Thai restaurant features a cutely decorated interior with very clean, organized, and well-coordinated vibes and decor. I went with a friend on Friday for lunch, and it was pretty empty.
I usually don't order Pad Thai when I go to American Thai restaurants because they're usually a miss, but I was really craving it, so I ordered the Pad Thai with beef. It tasted amazing! It was even comparable to the tastes and textures of the Pad Thai I had in Thailand.
While a lot of Pad Thai is usually either a sticky clump or way too watery, these noodles had a perfect texture-- sticky, while still retaining their individual shapes and textures. Something I love about Thai food is the mix of different flavors-- sweet, sour, and spicy-- and the flavors here similarly hit the spot. Although I ordered mild spice and it wasn't spicy at all (next time will definitely try the medium), the flavor still had an excellent, balanced mix of sweet and sour. Everything tasted incredibly fresh. Though the beef was kind of overcooked, the eggs were cooked perfectly and really enhanced the flavor of the dish. The portions were also well-sized especially for the price ($12.95), which is relatively cheap for Thai food in Chicago.
I also ordered the vegetable egg rolls appetizer, and my god it was so perfectly crispy. Each bite gave a nice crunch and the inside vegetables were warm and flavored well.
The service was also phenomenal-- super friendly, attentive, and quick. At one point, I accidentally dropped a chopstick on the floor and the server brought a new one for me within seconds.
Overall recommend this place for an affordable, fresh-tasting Thai spot in the Logan...
Read moreSelected this restaurant based on its high ratings during my Chicago visit. Went with lots of expectations.
I must say, the service is very good but I found the food to be very average. The place is more for casual dining, parking can be challenging. Price is standard. Good presentation.
I ordered foods based on recommendations - Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Basil over White Rice. They have different spice levels and their “Spicy” level is really hot. So, be careful when you select your spice level.
Crispy Chicken Pad Thai - Chicken was not crispy and dry like chewy. Pad Thai was sticky and preparation was average.
Chicken Basil over White Rice - It’s concept was not exciting, dipped in too much sauce and was salty. Had to return and ordered Green curry.
Green Curry - This was good but not best. The curry had lots of vegetables but the gravy was very light. It is supposed to be little thick and creamy because of coconut milk.
In summary, it missed the authenticity of the Thai cuisine. I would rather try other Thai place in my next...
Read moreOur first time ordering tonight. The food was absolutely fantastic! Usually when I find a new Thai place, I order Pad Thai as benchmark for future orders. This is the best Pad Thai I have ever had in the city of Chicago. I know that's a bold statement but I stand by it.The mixed in chili flake and the larger than standard crushed peanut portion really made this dish for me. I will definitely venture further into their menu on my next order. The vegetable egg rolls were perfect crispy and light. The Duck wontons were SO delicious, next time I'm getting 3 orders 🤤 I especially loved that they had 5 levels of heat for the main dishes. I contemplated the "Thai-hot" level but having been to Thailand, I have had Thai-hot (and survived, barely ) so I went with the regular hot level they had as a choice. Hot was plenty hot.Pick-up was a breeze and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. So happy to have found this gem. See you again...
