    The place looks much nicer from the inside than you'd tell from the outside. We've tried the spicy rice noodles and a curry and were very happy with our choices.

    The som tum is a killer! It's delicious but too damn spicy. I was sweating after a few bites. Be sure your tongue is prepared! if you are a true Thai this may be mild for you! Hahaha

    So. My guy and I were in the city trying to dig up the glorious hidden jems buried within the grand central station of all tourism (aka. Chicago as a collective). And stumbled upon this. Def. worth it

    Food tastes not bad, my Thai friend told me it's quite authentic! Curry chicken is good and kinda spicy. Great portion btw.

    The som tum (papaya salad) is perfect and the beers are cold. Noodles were a little bland and it’s all kinda pricey. Sadly, not many Thai food options in the area, so this will get you your fix.

    For 30 yrs I've been coming here. I love that it hasn't changed - my favorite dishes remain on the menu. Unreservedly recommend.

    I always get the musseman curry. So good. I also really love the condiments on the table that let you customize your dish.

    Curry fried rice is excellent. Plum wine is good, but only 1 glass will do. Chicken satay is also excellent. Can't beat this restaurant

    Great food for reasonable prices. The Mossamon Curry is best I've ever had. And to drink, you can't do much better than the Pomegranate-Lychee Martini, with a big ol' lychee at the bottom. Delicioso!

    Tom yam soup and crab Rangoons were awesome. The fish was a bit too hot for me, but other people liked it.

    Chicken (both in curry and in noodles) was dry and tough. Curry and noodles need more salt. Good fish cakes and squid salad. So far, I'd say go with the seafood and avoid the pedestrian Thai dishes.

    Great Pad Thai! You have to be over them to be seated, their seating system is useless...

    Had Tom yum soup and basil sautéed shrimps. Flavours were there but sadly no time spent on cooking. Done too fast, without care, and it shows.The shrimps were barely cooked and the veggies almost raw.

    Good portions at a reasonable price. Add extra chicken to entrees for only ~$1 more!

    The naem sod is the best. Ask for a side of rice, the hot and cool mouth feel is great.
