Crying tiger steak, Panang curry and pad kee mao
Tehreem H.

Excellent place! This blows all the other halal Thai spots of out the water. The ambiance is elevated but cozy. The staff and service was very attentive and pleasant. Tiger steak was probably one of the best dishes I've have this year. Perfect cooked and seasoned with a phenomenal sauce. The other dishes was also flavorful and the portions of meat was very generous. So nice to have authentic Thai with good quality halal meat. Mango and sticky rice was also perfection. Great experience all around, can't wait to go back

Kao Soi (beef curry noodles) with the magical fried noodles holding up the chopsticks!

Back in Chicago to visit my sister & help her move - my reward, hanging out with her & eating dinner at Anna's Thai Kitchen! WIN-WIN in my opinion. I love that Anna's is BYOB & there is a little liquor store right next door. A beautiful rosé or cold lager goes so well with spicy Thai food. We started with Betel Herb Wraps: the traditional royal snack - a bite of the perfect combination of roasted coconut flake with Thai herbs, ginger, shallot, roasted peanut, fresh Thai bird chili wrapped around with wild Betel leaves. I am OBSESSED with this appetizer & so is my sister - we get two orders so we don't have to share! We followed this up with fried oysters which were rich, creamy, umami with a delightful slightly spicy sauce. The meat course featured Kao Soi (beef curry noodles) with the magical fried noodles that hold up the chopsticks! Keo Soi can be made with chicken or veggie. It was a good amount of beef in a spicy red curry with two types of noodles - soft wider noodles in the soup & the aforementioned magical fried noodles. The latter are deep fried to hold up the chopsticks in the presentation & the server literally runs the dish to your table because the steam softens the noodles so they dramatically collapse into the soup as it is placed on your table. The combo of everything is delicious! We finished the meal with a whole fried ocean perch with a delightful spicy apple salad & rice. The meat of the fish was so white & the skin/fins were like fish potato chips. We ate every single part of the fish (except the bones). The apple salad was refreshing with a hint of a spicy to cut through the fry of the fish. Outstanding! I look forward to my next Chicago visit to see my sister & once again enjoy the fabulous cooking of Chef Anna at her beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

Came by on a weekend for a late lunch. Anna's is super well located right under the brown line stop. The area is really busy although Anna's had no wait at all when we came! The menu is extensive and has some northern Thai specialties like Kao Soi. We ordered a few curries and a couple of appetizers. Their strong point were definitely the curries which were packed with flavor. They used fried tofu in their vegetarian dishes which really adds a nice texture change. The Pad Thai was solid and not too sweet. The soups were less differentiated. The spicy dishes are very spicy! Service was extremely attentive and very nice. Only complaint was the restaurant is very pricey ($20+ per dish which is steeper than places downtown).

Mango sticky rice

Recently tried for the first time for pick up and loved it! Will be brining friends to try more soon! Keep in mind, their highest level of spicy is very hot! I love seeing halal restaurants around Chicago that branches into different cuisine. It tasted like typical Thai food, impressed with that. Both the papaya salad and basil chicken dish tasted flavorful. The mango sticky rice was SOO good! I was a little hesitant about the mango being sour since it's early in the season but it was so good and the rice had such a yummy cream with it! Excited to come back for more.

Half eaten pad Thais.... Flavor was so on point!

Anna is a lovely host and my friend and I had a great time at Anna's Thai kitchen. We stayed pretty simple and ordered pad Thai. Because I'm a little baby I ordered a side of peanut sauce because I always want everything more peanuty. Mine was veggie and it was truly delicious. The coconut in the peanut sauce was a flavor explosion and so pleasant. The heat was just right. The veggies were fresh and generous and I felt great after this meal. My friend liked his as well but thought the chicken was a little dry/over cooked. I am definitely coming back and am eager to try some different things. It's also BYOB which is fantastic. Great addition to the neighborhood and to Chicago's Thai scene

Betel Herb Wrap or Miang Kham (4)
Alex Anne M.

The. best. Thai. restaurant. in. Chicagoland. Anna the owner has blessed us peasants with her food that is like no other. If you eat with your eyes she has also graced us with a photo of each of her dishes which each are a piece of visual artwork: https://annasthaikitchen.com/menu. The two things for newcomers I suggest that may push you out of your comfort zone are the Betel Herb Wrap and the Roller Satay with peanut lava sauce. The Betel Herb Wrap makes you feel like you are experiencing a chef's tasting menu and is the dish that started my trust in Anna. It combines roasted coconut flakes, Thai herbs, and sweet Thai chili fulfilling all needs for sweet and crunchy. Then the Roller Satay sealed the deal with a beautiful melody of seasoned, thin halal chicken covered in a peanut sauce. If you are a sauce lover this is for you! Near the end of our meal Anna herself checked in to ask how we were doing and I was starstruck. This woman is a celebrity in my book with her amazing culinary skills. She informed us on Tuesdays they are closed to the public, but for $100 a person you can book a private event for you and your friends to come in and she cooks for you. This is what dreams are made of - thank you Anna and team!

The owner is very sweet! Food is delicious! Service is great! Would definitely recommend. Our favorite dishes are the Thai basil fried rice, chicken pad see ew, and rolled fried shrimp appetizer. Thai iced tea is great too!

Crab Rangoon, soup, stir fried rice, steak, panang and green curry.

Loved this place! Can't believe it took me forever to try but this is now my favorite Thai restaurant in Chicago. Every single food item was so tasty. The lychee lemonade was great. Service was great and loved that Anna greeted all the customers. Great experience overall and will be back.

Spicy but very delicious..the service is equally as good. If you are in the area and in the mood for Thai , definitely stop in enjoy the cool vibes and good food.

There are window views from the restaurant, making for good people watching. Mainly metered parking available Medium to large sized place with dedicated sections for thai food (about 8 tables and 2 rows of bar style seats) vs for sushi and ramen but all under the same place/owner, can order from any menu - the decor on that side is super cute, fish cutouts, anime/manga decorated walls, decked out bars Got the scuba diving chicken from the chefs faves and must say it was pretty good - a bit on the greasier side but the aroma of the herbs and the spices from the curry really pull through, chicken is cooked very well, super tender and juicy. I got the "No turning back" spice level and theres a hefty kick - halfway into the dish my mouth def feels it but nothing too extreme (FYI theres a slight mala-like numbingness to it) The traditional papaya salad was crunchy and refreshing, sauce is tangy but not too overwhelming. The peanuts add a nice nutty element to it. There were hardly any dried shrimp, so wouldve like to see a bit more of that. Be sure to give it a good mix as the sauce and topping fall to bottom of the bowl To top it off, the service was great. Albert was really attentive and helpful - would come back if im in the gold coast area again to try the other menu offerings

Small but cozy place. We were able to call ahead and make a reservation…read more Moo ping (pork skewers with sticky rice) - 10/10. My toddler devoured this. Could have easily done a second order. Papaya salad - 9/10. Really good. I loved the dried shrimp. Crispy chicken salad - 10/10. This was sooo good. Tiger cry - 5/10. Normally a favorite for me at Thai restaurants. This one was overcooked, which was unfortunate. Crab fried rice - 7/10. Solid. Chunks of crab. Mango with sticky rice - 8/10. Needed more mango but it was delicious.

So so good! My husband & I were craving Thai food and decided to come here for lunch. We got here…read morejust about a half hour opening and it was already pretty busy with people dining in and people waiting for takeout... always a good sign! Seating was a little tight like at Phodega, but not terrible. To view menu, you scan a QR code at the table. My husband & I ordered the following: - Grilled Squid This was really good! I thought it was going to come out like little calamari rings, but it was actually a decently sized whole squid, sliced with the tentacles on the side. It was cooked perfectly as it was not chewy or rubbery. The flavor was great, especially with the paired Thai-spicy seafood sauce. - Crab Meat Fried Rice Loved that this was with real crab! & not the imitation crab. There were bits of crab meat throughout the rice and then topped with a big lump of crab meat. It came served with a lime & yummy fish sauce with fresh Thai chili's. - Bamee Noodles with BBQ Pork without broth This bowl of egg noodles had a slightly sweet flavor to it, served with a fox amount of BBQ Pork which was also nice & tender! Slurped it all up! - Jina's Fried Chicken This was good, but not anything like out of this world. It was fried chicken leg quarter, served with black sticky rice. - Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango LOVED this! It was a great way to end our meal! I loved that it came with extra sweet sauce! - Taro Tapioca in Coconut Milk Cream This was great too! It was actually a warm dessert. The menu described it as "Tapioca pearls" so I was expecting the tiny little clear boba balls, but it was cubes of like glutinous rice. Which was not bad! I liked it a lot; it reminded me of Ginataang Bilo Bilo (#iykyk if you're Filipino)! Overall, a delicious experience! We would eat here again!
