Papaya salad
Michelle W.

Best thai food Chicago! The service is fast and food is served quickly. The space is comfortable to dine in as well. Parking needs to be paid parking however on the street. My favorite item to order is their crispy chicken skin and Khao soi. They both have the perfect crunch to it and the portion is good. I always have extras to take home.

Great Thai takeout option. The pad see ew was super tasty. Could've used more veggies but overall no complaints

BAMEE MHOO DANG HANG WITH SHRIMP WONTONS
Em K.

Had a great experience at Imm Rice and Beyond! I got the Bamee Mhoo Dang Hang with the shrimp wontons added on, and it was a flavorful, satisfying meal. I'm really glad I added the shrimp wontons as they were delicious and complemented the dish perfectly. The service was excellent and attentive throughout. Solid spot for authentic Thai flavors. Would definitely come back!

This place is right in the heart or Arglye and has such good Thai food. Loved their papaya salad and chow fun noodles. The tiger cry was crispy and full of flavor. The service was great here and the ambiance inside was really nice. Especially during the summer you can sit by the window which is open to the sidewalk. Will definitely be back soon.

A nice, warm restaurant with a variety of authentic dishes. We got the chicken satay, gaeng kiew whan with tofu, and pad prik khing with chicken. The chicken satay with peanut sauce was really good and was a nice starter. The gaeng kiew whan was flavorful and somewhat spicy. There was a good amount of tofu, but I felt like there should have been more than just bamboo shoots in the curry. The pad prik khing was also tasty and pretty spicy. The green beans were a generous portion, but it would've been nice to have more chicken too. Chose the kao tom madt for dessert and it was actually really enjoyable. You wouldn't think beans would work with dessert, but they gave it a nice texture.

You get friendly service, for sure, as it is obvious that the workers there enjoy their job. The interior decor is very catchy, even cute. Restrooms are what you'd expect at an Asian restaurant, but not bad. But we go to a restaurant to eat good, flavorful food, right? It was quite ordinary, to be honest; nothing to match the trendiness of the interior environment. I'm willing to give any place a second chance. So, maybe we will do just that!

Ginger Chicken and Thai iced tea, fried chicken way in the back
Amanda G.

I had a very nice ladies lunch here. Cabana vibes, with the front of the cafe able to open up to the street. Lots of sun, creative cocktails, and more delicious sounding menu items than I had room for, may need a return visit. That said, this street is bustling with options and shops, cafes so how do you pick just one place? It stood out to me that with so many competitors, Immm was jumping! Very good sign. I had a Thai iced tea (sweet burnt orange colored tea, a personal favorite!! Always get excited when they're on the menu) and I was looking for a light, veggie forward option and bet on the ginger chicken. My friends both got the Panang Curry, it had a notable butteriness to it that you don't find often and, hot damn, it was spicy for this group of white chicks! Not sure how that translates for other heat seekers though. ‍

Ambiance - cute small neighborhood gem, tight seating, offers indoor and outdoor dining Service - servers were super nice, food came out 15-20 min after ordering Food - Thai curry puffs were nice and flaky/flavorful, khao nar neur had a really good grilled flavor + sauce had a really good kick, kuay tiew naam (noodle soup) broth was definitely more on the lighter side/more bland, gai todd is a must get!

Chicken Satay
Anna N.

The market got rained out so we wanted to grab a bite to eat. We came across this cute little spot and the colorful art and lively vibe lured us in. We were seated very quickly despite how busy it appeared. I recommend ordering 2-3 entrees to share amongst the table, depending on how many are seated. There were only two of us and 2 plates + a starter was a perfect amount of food. Thai tea was delicious. Perfect amount of sweet with that authentic tea flavor. The chicken kabob was a little dry, but better with the peanut sauce (which has a HEAVY peanut flavor, so take that as you will). I wish it came with more cucumber salad! We also ordered the Thai style fried chicken legs. The flavor was delicious but there was a lot of bone to eat around, and not a ton of meat on each one. The deep fried wontons are delicious and I highly suggest getting at least one order of those. Service was fairly quick (for how busy it was) and friendly, and we were in and out in no time.

Pad Khee Mao
Jenny L.

The curry was very flavorful with strong coconut creaminess and paired well with the textures from the pad kee mao. I didn't know if you could adjust spiciness but probably would get it spicier next time

Crispy Chicken Skin (Nhung Gai Todd)
Sheyenne H.

Food selections were great and tasty. Crispy when it has to be, fresh vegges. We have misgivings on the service as we placed our orders appropriately but some delivered incorrectly or arrived late or we had to remind them. We were there around 11am so pretty early. The shop wasn't particularly busy, it was half full so maybe something else was making the kitchen occupied.

Chicago has no shortage of Thai restaurants but I've been to Immm far more times than any of the others. Everything is good here but I'll highlight 2 dishes that I get almost every time, which I believe are better than anywhere else I've had: Som Tum Thai and Pad See Eiw. The Tum Thai (papaya salad) is the perfect combination of sour, sweet, and spicy (3 chilis is just right for me) and the papayas they use always taste fresh. The Pad See Eiw doesn't solely rely on sugar unlike some other restaurants; it has a nice umami to it and you can really taste the smokiness from the wok. You can request it spicy but I personally like it not spicy (one of the few Thai dishes I would say that for). Honorable mention to these dishes, which are also spectacular: Pad Thai, Khao Soi, Khao Pad. They make it into my rotation a fair amount as well! If you're remotely near Argyle or Uptown, do yourself a favor and dine at Immm. The food is delicious, the servers are friendly, and the vibes are great (they've invested a lot into remodeling the place in recent years and it shows). Bon appetit!

Our oldest lives in the "Little Vietnam neighborhood" and has been wanting to try this place so we popped in after the night market for a bev and a bite. Cute & cozy, the hanging lights add a lot of atmosphere with seating inside and out. The service is good and prompt and they will work with you to make sure your order gets in before the kitchen closes. I have to say that mango sticky rice is a thing, SO good.

Can I get really really spicy Thai food at Immm? If not, where can one find that in chicago?

You can get really spicy at Immm also Sticky Rice and Aroi Thai. Not your usual commercial Thai food/menus in these places but Northern Thai food (Isaan province)

5 stars based on Bahn mi, cha gio and iced coffee I ordered today…read more I must have been part of an early crowd. When I arrived, there was only one other table dining, which made it GREAT for me. It's a decent size hall with 10+ table arrangements, making it pretty great for a group to enjoy their lunch. It also featured a couple of kiosks for ordering, which I thought was a bit easy to miss, since it was tucked away in the left corner when you walked in. It looked like there was also a cashier available to take orders, if you miss the kiosks. I've seen places where they simply do not have anyone at the register to take orders, but that wasn't the case for Lotus. Before deciding to visit them today, I had an impression that their menu choices were very limited compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I was used to. I'm certainly not complaining, since I'm usually a huge fan of select "specialty" approach in restaurants. That's why I decided to order one of their Bahn mi, where I normally would have chosen pho for my first visit. And it didn't disappoint. First off, the size of the sandwich was good. I've had it where they charged a buck or two less, but they weren't big enough to be a full "lunch" portion. Lotus' size, I thought was decent. I had ordered one of their cha gios just in case the sandwich failed to fill me, but I think I would have been okay without it. Cha gio was super good tho! Oh, and the iced V-coffee was good, too. Typically, they'll bring out the coffee before your meal is ready, probably because they're ready-made in the morning and all you'd need to do is pour them over ice. I of course, have known legitimate mom n' pop places, where they'll actually bring out coffee as it's brewing in Phin (stainless steel coffee filter) and a glass of ice with condensed milk, so you can wait for the coffee to finish brewing and pour yourself one, which is what I *always* prefer. Not here, but no big deal. You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by trying their iced coffee. Even though V-coffee isn't known for using "incredible" beans, the balance of the strength of coffee and condensed milk *does* make a big difference in your experience. I felt this place had it correct! I'll definitely come back myself and even bring coworkers or my family to have their Bahn mi again. What I'm not sure about is whether I want to try their pho or bun. First, they don't offer too many variations, so I'm stuck choosing from just a few. (For example, I usually go for "brisket-only" or a combo of brisket and rare steak, but they didn't seem to have those options. Granted, it's possible they'll make it happen if I asked) Secondly, I think they're a couple bucks more expensive than what I would like to pay for a bowl of pho. We'll see.

Ambiance - neighborhood gem, casual, offers small dine in area…read more Service - order at kiosk upon arrival, self serve, pick up food at counter Food - pho broth was aromatic, sliced beef was slightly different than what I'm used to (it was marinated, not the typical rare un-marinated sliced beef)

We had starters - fried calamari and a spring roll sort of thing. We also had eggplant, another stir fry and walnut shrimp. All of it was fresh and delicious. My one recommendation would be to pay close attention to the menu. I didn't realize that the shrimp in the walnut shrimp was battered and fried - would have picked something else if I had. To be clear- it was delicious! It's just that I had already had two fried appetizers so would preferred something lighter. The eggplant dish was my favorite! And the special cocktails were also delightful. The restaurant is very busy and a little noisy at times, but it didn't detract from our experience.

The food makes up for some of these shortcomings. This is the familiar Cantonese cooking that is comfort food for many. The stir-fried noodles in particular are a must. There are rice dishes, soups, and more to choose from and you can't really go wrong with anything. The soup is my least favorite of these due to the broth lacking depth, but the wontons were good. The XO sauce stir-fried noodles with beef was my favorite. If you're looking for something casual with affordable dishes, Yummy Yummy is worth checking out.
