TLDR: GET THE CRISPY FISH. Amazing hidden gem with seriously standout dishes. Great food, warm service. I will definitely be back!! Okay but now... THE FOOD Spring Rolls 6.5/10 A bit heavy on the cabbage, but they were lightly fried with a nice flaky texture. Solid start. Chicken Satay 10/10 Hands down the best chicken satay I've ever had (and yes, I've been to Thailand). The chicken was actually spiced (!!), cooked to perfection, and that PEANUT SAUCE?? Absolutely divine. Easily the best I've had in my 25 years on this earth. I'd drink it. Pad See Ew 10/10 Delicious. Savory. Balanced. And the chicken was grilled, like, actually grilled. Game changer. Crispy Fish with Jungle Salad 100/10 This. Dish. Right. Here. You have to get it. A crispy, golden fish fillet topped with a tangy-sour salad of apples and vegetables. The flavors? Addictive. The textures? Unreal. The fish stayed CRISPY the whole time, even under that saucy, tangy topping. HOW??? Texture. Taste. Balance. This dish had it all. I'm still dreaming about it. Panang Curry 9.5/10 Super flavorful. A little thinner than I expected (more on the soupy side), but the flavor profile made up for it. I got hints of anise? White pepper? Not sure, but whatever it was, it worked. Green Curry Fried Rice with Beef 7/10 Tasty and interesting. The rice seemed infused with green curry, which was cool, but it felt more like a side dish than a main. The beef was tender and flavorful though! Bonus points for service Our server was so sweet and attentive. When we asked to switch tables, she made sure the blinds worked so we'd be comfy in the sunlight. Thoughtful service makes a huge difference, and she nailed it. Final Verdict: Get the crispy fish. Get the chicken satay. Just go.

The recent reviews almost lured me away, but my wife still wanted to try it out. I did an online order for pickup and the food was ready before the promised time. The staff he was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. We ordered their Chicken Satay, my wife ordered her favorite Pad See-Ew with beef and I ordered their Pad Kee-Mao with beef as well. I also put in the comments to make sure it was extra spicy. And extra spicy it was indeed. The chicken satay was very delicious. The chicken was marinated and cooked perfectly and went perfect with the amazing peanut sauce. Both noodle dishes were delicious. Perhaps just a little too much bean sprouts on my Pad Kee Mao, but otherwise a perfectly executed dish. If they're going for some crunch texture in this dish, I would have preferred carrots and bell peppers. But will definitely be returning.

Good food at a reasonable price and impeccably clean, laid back surroundings. Okay service. I got the papaya salad, which was very fresh tasting with good texture, and the Tom Kha Tofu. Both were well seasoned and full of flavor. I appreciated that the tofu wasn't the prefried kind many restaurants use. It tasted fresh and soft. They definitely don't skimp on spice (my nose was running). I do think the Tom Kha has too much lime juice and fish sauce. I love Thai food and I know it's strong. But this Tom Kha should be milder. It's inedible without rice. I'd definitely return to try their noodles and curries, though, because their food is not lacking flavor.

Had the spicy crispy fish and had diarrhea. Not sure it's the spicy or it's not fresh. Interesting flavor though. Barbecue pork fried rice is pretty good. Just wish it's a bit more moist. Kinda dry to eat it by itself Barbecue pork rib is way too dry. Need some fat on it. Also kinda slow. If you're ordering take out, better plan for a long wait

We came here to have a night out for some fresh Thai food. It was pick up only that day so we just went ahead and took the food home instead, which wasn't that big of a deal to us. Food was still piping hot when we got home. It was all so yummy and fresh! And pretty cheap for the amount that we got. 4 spring rolls, green curry fried rice, Thai noodles huge sizes. I would recommend it all!

Came here since it was so close to the rock climbing gym I was at. Saw it had some rave reviews and I was pretty excited since I'm a fiend for Thai food. Unfortunately, left a bit disappointed. Ordered the chicken pad thai which came out to around $15 after tax and "convenience / service fees" from ordering online. Order was ready for me by the time I got there. The flavors were okay, but I really felt like the noodles were over cooked and lacking any bounciness to them. Maybe it was just sitting too long? I picked it up right around when the pick-up time stated and ate it about five minutes later, so not really sure. Decent amount of chicken though! Portion-wise I felt like it was a bit small for a $15 order. Maybe it was just a bad batch? Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back here again to try something else. Maybe the sit-down experience would be better. The space itself looks nice and good for a casual weeknight lunch/dinner spot. Their fried fish dish looks intriguing. But there's so many good Thai restaurants in the area that are on my list to checkout that I won't be rushing back here anytime soon.

I recently came here to meet a friend for a weeknight dinner. It was an earlier dinner at 5:30pm and we were the first ones to dine-in there, but people slowly started to file closer to 6/6:30pm. The food here is absolutely delicious and so fresh and affordable. Between the two of us, we shared 3 dishes and each had an entree to take home for leftovers. This is what we ordered: + Beef Salad + In-On Thai Spicy Fish + Green Curry with Chicken The food came out fairly quickly but everything was made to order. The dishes were fairly priced (approx $15/each), even for fish, and the flavors were punchy and aromatic. The fish dish surprised me in the best way. My friend wanted to try it (as a self-acclaimed "not usually one to order fish" person) but it was delectable. The fish was fried crispy without breading, and tossed in this sauce that could make you pucker with the tang and lime juice, and spice. The sauce had sliced green apples and bits of sliced lime (!!!) and tamarind and lemongrass and cilantro... it's a flavor explosion. I could eat the sauce itself with plain white rice and it would be amazing. Full disclosure: I THINK it was the "In-On Spicy Fish" dish but there were two fish dishes on their chef specials. The other one was "Fish With 3 Flavors Spicy Sauce; I'm not remembering which one it was exactly. We also got the green curry with chicken. You could choose your protein option including: vegetables, tofu, beef, chicken, or shrimp. I appreciated that they had many options as the 'protein', especially those who would prefer to be meat-free or plant based. The curry was rich, coconutty, and fragrant. The portion was generous as well, and it was served with the little thai eggplants. The beef salad was also fresh and delicious. It was a perfect companion to the curry and the fish to clean our palates. I was debating between the beef salad and the papaya salad, so next time I'll have to try their other salad. I will be back! I had a great first impression and experience. It's affordable and they serve amazing Thai cuisine. Five shiny stars without hesitation. For more, follow me on IG @gratuitousgourmande

5 stars because this is hands down the best crab Rangoon I've ever had. It's flavorful and rich, yet the wonton is crispy and light. The sauce is sweet with a little heat. If you love crab Rangoon, run, do not walk!!!!!!

49. Spicy Fish with Young Pepper - Wow!!

Candace C.

Carry out, eat-in or delivery - we love In-On Thai. They have the traditional Thai entrees - but you really have to try their chef's specialties. Quite a few fish dishes - the Spicy Fish with young Pepper and egg plants is a favorite. I love to order Shrimp with Tamarind sauce for carry out so I can add some steamed broccoli. We always order the pickled vegetables - a nice refreshing addition to any meal. We have enjoyed the Green Curry, Panang Curry, the Keang-Pa Curry and the Crispy Tofu with curry sauce and kafir leaves- all delicious. The one dish I didn't care for was the Secret Fried Rice with BBQ Pork - was a little dry for my taste. Everything else is delicious. Like many Thai places, you can ask for your spiciness level on a scale of 1 to 5. Here at In-On Thai - level 5 is quite spicy. Rick sticks with a level 4 for his dishes while I am quite content with the flavors in level 3. If you like spicy - they deliver. If you dine in - it's BYOB - with a liquor store conveniently located next door. We recommend placing your order, then getting your beverage of choice to accompany your meal.

I've only eaten here once, but already I can't wait to go back. The In-On crispy fish is so delicious and complex, with its coconut and lemongrass flavors, as well as lots of other things my untrained palate has a hard time picking out. That complexity is what I love about Thai food. We also tried the crispy fish curry, which had some preserved vegetables that reminded me of something used in Sichuan cooking. I love that they don't shy away from these strongly flavored ingredients. The crispy tofu salad and green papaya salad were also delicious and well-balanced. Nothing was overly sweet, unlike food at other Thai places that try to cater to midwest palates. The sticky rice with custard was a smallish portion, I thought, and not the best I've ever tasted. But it was still good and satisfied my craving for coconut sticky rice. The staff was very friendly, but it seemed like they were stretched a little thinly. Prices are super reasonable, given the quality of the food. I love this place and I hope they're around for a long time! read more

Just ordered delivery on a really snowy day. The food arrived quickly and was nice & hot. The chicken pot stickers were juicy and flavorful. The spiciness on the entrees has definitely been Americanized though. It is NOT true Thai spicy. I ordered a 4 out of 5 on my panang curry, and it was more like a 2.5. The flavor was still delicious nonetheless. I would definitely order from here, again. read more

The Vegetable Wonton Soup, Pad Thai with Clear Noodles, Pad See-Ew, and Crab Wonton were all well seasoned, came out very hot (temperature), were perfectly prepared, and had zero complaints!

I ordered through grubhub. I got the wings, Tom Kha soup, Fried Rice with beef and Pad See Ewe with beef. The wings were the only tasty item. The Tom Kha soup had way too much lime, and the coconut milk had broken. The beef in both the fried rice and the pad see ewe were heavily overcooked. The fried rice also had very little beef in it, and had very little flavor. read more

The worst Pad Thai that I've ever had. I think they used ramen noodles instead of the standard that I'm used to. The meal had zero flavor, and having just moved in, I had not grocery shopped and tried to eat it for multiple meals but ended up throwing some of it away towards the end because I just couldn't force myself to eat any more of it. read more

Great new local thai spot. When they say authentic, they aren't lying. There are a few familiar things on the menu (pad thai and the like), but most of the options you won't find other places. Not quite as veggie friendly, but the veggie and fish options are so good it doesn't really matter. Also BYOB! read more

Decent experience overall. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but overall it wasn't bad, not great either. The pad kee mao?? was okay, not that flavorful though. The masaman curry was really salty and needed much more veggies and rice for the amount of curry. While both dishes were somewhat tasty, neither were nearly spicy or warm enough. The customer service however was good, and are food came rather quickly. If I lived a little closer I would probably try other things from them and do take out every now and then, but I probably will try new places in the mean time. read more

So I'm torn between 4 or 5 stars. Have only been once and all three dishes where virtual taste perfection. So much so, I feel there may have been some umami quotient mixed in. Crispy spring rolls done in a unique flat-style, won-ton pad Thai with perfectly crispy won-tons, and a unique seafood curry custard that melded seafood, curry, and veg in a solid balance with a foil crane presentation. My new top dog for neighborhood Thai. Simple build out with some interesting decor and wood elements. Let's bring more business's like this to what I like to refer to as #DirtyLakeview.

Jina's Fried Chicken (E7): Thai southern style marinated leg quarter topped with fried onion and cilantro served with sweet and sour sauce and black sticky rice Braised Pork with rice (R5): Braised pork hog and ham in Thai and Chinese herb with hard-boiled egg, Shiitake mushroom and pickled mustard green served over Thai jasmine--rice with spicy-sour sauce on the side. Chicken with ginger rice (R4): Poached chicken served over ginger-garlic rice with soybean ginger sauce on the side. Pork Belly with Fish Sauce (SP6): Fried marinated pork belly cubes served with spicy dipping sauce

I was hungry and tucked in to soft noodles, crispy noodles, pickled mustard greens, onions, and in this case tofu. The server noticed my enthusiasm and said it would make him happy.

The food was delicious and made SUPER fast. I'd say we only waited about 5-7 minutes for everything. There is a lot of seating inside and the decor is really cool. The staff is really nice too!

Made last minute reservations for brunch next day after the infamous architecture tour. It was quiet as we've put in an early morning. All the more better to savor all intricate dishes from start to finish. Like the name, The Purple Pig, their specialty is pork dishes so majority of our orders were this. Daily special of the bone marrow bacon jam toast - glazed, slippery off the bone, savory and sweet. Always love a good bone marrow dish to get the sweetness off it. This was so good that there were bits of the marrow and jam left stuck to the bone, I took a piece of the toast and scooped the bone dry. Nothing left for anyone to attack this. Non pork dishes were the Mushroom 3 ways and Spanish octopus. Mushroom dish was savory with all the coated sauces elevating this. Spanish octopus was kicked lightly and easily can bite in to enjoy the tender and charred portions. But the award went to my main course - the braised pork shoulder with saffron, apricots and Swiss chard. Aside from the rippable pork meat when dining on it, the sauces fused together on this dish elevated it and had everyone coming back for more. I needed an official Chicago culinary experience and found it at The Purple Pig without a doubt.

This place was so good that I came back the very next evening for dinner again…read more On my first visit, I ordered the pulled pork with mac and cheese, cornbread, and sweet tea. Every single part of the meal was outstanding. The pulled pork was delicious on its own, but I also loved the sweet barbecue sauce. The cornbread was, without exaggeration, the best I've ever had!! It was moist, flavorful, and served with absolutely incredible butter. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and one of the best I've ever had as well. Even the sweet tea was perfect: actually sweet without being overpowering or having that bitter, earthy aftertaste that some sweet teas have. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I came back the next night and tried the brisket. It was sooooo good too. It was tender, smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. At that point I knew the first meal wasn't a fluke. It's not inexpensive, but the portions are generous, and I felt the quality more than justified the price. I was there by myself because I'm traveling for work and actually enjoyed the communal tables. They made the atmosphere feel welcoming and a little less lonely than sitting by myself. The staff was excellent, too. The gentleman with the glasses at the meat counter was friendly, funny, and made the experience even more enjoyable. He even threw in a complimentary rib, which was such a nice surprise and a great example of the hospitality here. One thing to know before you go: the line can get long, but don't let that scare you away, it moves efficiently, and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Green Street Smoked Meats lived up to every bit of the hype. Between two visits, I tried the pulled pork, brisket, mac and cheese, cornbread, sweet tea, and a rib, and every single thing was excellent. This will be one of my first stops the next time I'm in Chicago.

We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, macaroni salad, and green jambalaya. The pulled pork was the standout, with the brisket not far behind. It's not the best barbecue you'll ever have, but if you're craving good barbecue in Chicago, this is a spot worth visiting. The biggest surprise was the green jambalaya, essentially collard greens with smoked meat in a rich broth. I could have drank the whole thing like a can of Coke.

If you're looking for an incredible Thai dining experience in Chicago, look no further! We had the most delicious meal today, and every dish was a standout. We started with the chicken satay, which was perfectly grilled and paired with the most authentic, flavorful peanut sauce. You could tell it was made with care. Next, we had the shrimp pad thai, and I can confidently say it's the best in Chicago--hands down. The balance of flavors was spot on, and the noodles had just the right texture. But the real star of the night? The green curry. Absolutely outstanding! The depth of flavor was unmatched, and you could immediately tell the curry paste was freshly ground--not store-bought. It had the perfect harmony of spice, creaminess, and aroma that left us wanting more. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend read more

This restaurant does not like black people. By the way, I am a restaurant professional of 20 years and II visited this restaurant last night and was treated like I was a criminal- the Asian woman barely let me in the restaurant- she questioned me what I wanted and told me take out only and I am not allowed to use rest room. I should have walked away but I was very hungry. Nevertheless 5 minutes while waiting for my dinner , a white guy came in and she immediately served him without all the questions .... As for the food. My stirred Fred rice It was cooked in 6 minutes and rice was not even fried. The step was completely missed. read more

We live in the neighborhood and had never tried this restaurant. We were excited going in and completely baffled upon exiting. The food was truly delicious, but the service was awful. So bad that we'll never go back. Our server didn't speak a word to us, lacked all warmth, and seemed upset that we were there. Not a "welcome in," not a "thank you", not a smile, just an energy black hole. We were uncomfortable the entire time and, frankly, couldn't wait to leave. Food 5. Service 1. read more

Notice how there are no reviews by black people below! This place is racist and wouldn't seat us because we're black! Terrible service and terrible people. There were tables right in front but the person wouldn't seat us. There were only white people in the restaurant as well. Never have I experienced something like this before. Shame on this owner and I hope nobody supports this terrible establishment. read more
