    To begin, I usually am skeptical Asian fusion because Japanese is so different from Thai and I don't want nigiri with green curry. That said--Eto'o does it the right way! Dish integrity, but a nice variety of cuisines. I had egg rolls, Drunken Noodles and Tom Ka soup--three countries that have food that I love on their own. The egg rolls were pretty close to perfect, flavorful and crispy without being hard. The drunken noodles were really satisfying. My favorite, which I'm a little particular about, was the Tom Ka soup. The broth can either be either too sweet, too watery or just in general, not good. None of which applied here. The fresh ginger and the generous amount of chicken made this one I enjoyed a lot! It was a great cuisine escapade.

    Food was very good. We ordered Larb salad, Pad Thai, Tom Kha soup and the pork special. The first three were gluten-free and the last was not gluten free and was for my son. he and my husband had gone to this little place a few months ago and really loved it so we decided to try it again. It did not disappoint. My only wishes are 1. that they mark more clearly on the menu what is gluten-free. I had to ask the waitress and she had to check with somebody and brought back a handwritten. it's great that they have that, but it would be nice to be more clear on the menu . A good thing was, that when she gave my son his dish, she made sure to remind me that it was not gluten-free and not to share it. And 2. that they find a way to not use plastic throwaway cups for drinks. Overall, our experience was very good. if you're not gluten-free, I think this would be five star. It's good food, not too expensive.

    Tofu mushroom stuff that's so good
    Krystel M.

    The food here is always solid, at least what I order. They have this tofu mushroom thing that is so good, it is so incredible, that I literally have to order it every time I order food from here. I don't know what they do to that stuff but oh my goodness.... I'm also always impressed by how fast the food comes, now granted I live about four blocks away, but when I order from there my food arrives in 20 minutes. Like at my door in 20 minutes. I don't really have too much bad to say, they have this salt and pepper tofu that's really good but sometimes it's like hella dry so if they ever want to improve on something I would be like, make that less dry, but at the same time it is the only tofu that I can get my brother's kids to eat and if it's not deep fried, battered, and used to moo ,squeel, or cluck they typically don't want to eat it. But they always smash my tofu!

    The sauce for Crispy Battered Chicken Spaghetti with battered chicken and green curry
    Naiima D.

    A little hidden Hyde Park Thai ish gem. I have passed this place thousands of times on 53rd. I never noticed it! Until I was looking through Door Dash, looked at their menu and decided to give them a whirl! I ordered one of their most popular signature dishes.... Spaghetti Green Curry with Crispy Battered Chicken Spaghetti with battered chicken, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaves, green peas, carrots and green curry sauce. I know it sounds weird but it worked and it's enough for two. Their crab Rangoons are good. The fresh green onion really stands out. They also have a good cocktail drink called ...Lime on the Beach which is a Combination of punch syrup drop with the lime juice and sprite. They have some other good combo mocktails too. Their strawberry cream cake slice is good too. It's covered in a lightly sweetened whipping cream. Give this place a try they are a really good neighborhood hidden gem!

    Roasted Chili Chicken. Took the chicken out no flavor
    Victoria H.

    It's just ok. The roasted chili chicken was more of a soup like texture. The flavor was good but not enough to flavor the chicken. The chicken was bland. It wasn't that filling. Customer service was nice but doubt I'll be going back.

    Kaliaya D.

    Good food, loved the portions size. Thai tea was also pretty good...not too sweet. Came in the middle of the day, so it was pretty and service was quick. Nothing too special about the ambiance and vibe of the inside. There's a good amount of seating for medium size groups and parking is on the street

    The food was absolutely delicious and well priced! Thai iced tea was fantastic as well. The crab rice and coconut shrimp is a must try! Don't pass this place up!

    80. Pad Thai
    Wendy H.

    This place seemed fine. The pad thai wasn't my favorite but the fried rice was really good. The egg yolk was still runny when it arrived. The pad thai could use some more sauce.

    Chicken Pad-See-Ew
    Maricel J.

    My colleagues and I ordered lunch from here. Everything on the menu looked delicious and we all kept changing our minds about what we wanted! After an hour, we made our final decisions on what we will have. I wish I took pictures of what they ordered, but as soon as the food came, they started eating. I had the chicken pad-see-ew and I added some spice to it. I am glad I ordered this because it was delicious!

    Strawberry Shortcake (New Menu)  Light, fluffy and delicious
    Alisha C.

    Wow this is some of the best Thai food I've ever had in my life . I've gotten takeout twice and the quality has been consistently flavorful and perfectly cooked. This time I got the Thai salmon basil fried rice, mockumosa (passion fruit and mango sprite), and the strawberry shortcake. The Thai salmon basil fried rice was very flavorful and a really hefty portion for the price. I have too eat this in two sessions because it's a lot of food. The salmon tasted pan fried and had a nice teriyaki drizzle. I was salivating while eating this because it was so damn good. The mockumosa (passion fruit and mango sprite) tasted like what it would feel like to lay on a beach in Puerto Rico near a mango tree with the sand between your toes. It was tropical, fruity, sweet and mildly tart all in one sip. The strawberry shortcake was adorably packaged in a reusable container with firm fresh strawberries, lightly sweetened whipped cream and fluffy white cake. Absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back with friends .

Sambal catfish with Cole slaw and cavitappi noodles in cheese sauce. The fish and cole slaw were very tasty. The noodles were okay. Koren Fried Chicken with pickles, corn bread, mash potatoes and gravy. The chicken was fried hard, it was a whole chicken but it was just okay in flavor. The pickle was a little weird. Mashed potatoes and gravy while I suspect they are powdered potatoes were decent on flavor. Pass on the corn bread. Lobster rangoon was pretty good. Honey Chipotle wings had a tasty sweet sauce. Fried green tomatoes was inedible, the green was too green leaving them hard, difficult to slice and bitter so we sent them back. Service was excellent, they took them away without a word and didn't charge us. Saigon noodles, best bite of the night! Tender beef, flavorful sauce, scallions and perfectly cooked noodles. Yum. Shrimp spring rolls. Just okay. Quesibirria eggrolls with tomato basil sauce, second best bite of the night. Tender meat, innovative sauce. Perfect eggroll shell. Grenada 9, spring fever, hibiscus margarita, all tasty! Lastly, there was a band. It was too loud (taking away from the dining experience especially with the acoustic feedback) and because my mother told me when you have nothing good to say, dont say anything, I'll stop there.

I always enjoy discovering new ways to prepare traditional foods. I didn't get to try the dessert but it looked and smelled good. It's a pound cake version vs angel cake. The Hyde Park area where Chant is located has a lot of restaurants nearby in case you want to taste hop or folks in a large group want to try different things.

I've tried the drunken noodles, the vegetarian egg rolls, the pad thai with tofu, and the panang curry with tofu. The food is definitely palatable, but not very tasty or flavourful. I brought my mother who has spent a few years in Bangkok to this restaurant and she was definitely not happy, though there wasn't anything noticeably wrong with the food other than extreme blandness. One thing that I do appreciate about the restaurant is that many of the curries are made without fish sauce, which makes veganizing the dish relatively easy. The staff are also accommodating when requested to veganize dishes. Service is a mixed bag: the older woman can sometimes be curt though I have witnessed her being much kinder on other days. Reportedly, she is kind and accommodating towards families with younger kids as well as regular patrons. The quality of service is inconsistent among other servers. The ambiance is charmless and unremarkable, though the place is usually clean. The restaurant is easily accessible by public transport and the university shuttle. Overall, will likely not return. There is better and cheaper Thai and East Asian food to be had outside the neighbourhood.

It's just as well, because it wouldn't be much fun eating here. This is a pretty stale environment, making it better to enjoy it somewhere you can feel comfortable and whatnot. Came by to get carryout. The best vegetarian choice is the House Special Tofu. It's about $8 at lunch. This entree is fairly simple, consisting of tofu mixed with spicy bean sauce, and vegetables such as black mushrooms. About as good as you can expect. There's a pretty good spice level and some actual flavor. Better isn't easy to find among South Side Chinese. It has the basic Americanized Chinese stuff which is pretty okay in all honesty. This is the only okay Chinese restaurant in Kenwood so it's not like there's any better around here you would choose instead.
