    Tofu Pad Thai
    Yukie X.

    A small hidden Thai spot that can be easily missed and I'm glad I gave it a try. The staff there was friendly and attentive, filling up our tables waters twice unasked. The noodles was a little more on the sweeter end than I would've liked. I wished there were more vegetables in my curry but the large amount protein did surprise me. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

    Had an amazing meal here. The best Thai food I've enjoyed in quite some time. Great service. Restaurant was quiet, which makes for a better dining experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Basil Dish
    Delilah R.

    The best authentic Thai Food. I went for lunch and had Pad Thai, Pad See ew, mango sticky rice, egg rolls, dumpling, basil fried rice. Everything tasted homemade, and delicious. I went with a group of friends, and I'm the only vegetarian. They accommodated me perfectly. The service was amazing, a real mom and pop shop. Food quality and service was 100%. Cant wait to back.

    Panang curry!

    Pretty dead on a Thursday night for dine-in at least. It's a pretty casual spot, and BYOB with no corkage fee! Hurrah! There's a liquor store conveniently located a block away too. Kinnaree gets an extra star just for this! The night went wrong in only one big way - the service was somewhat non-existent. We had to flag someone down every time we wanted something - to order, to get another napkin, to pay... Other than that though, our experience was fine. I ordered the panang curry and enjoyed it, but wish it came with a little more rice. My friend devoured his stir fry and said it was delicious. Prices were reasonable too - just don't forget to check in on yelp for 10% off your bill!

    Large Tom Kha with chicken
    Francis R.

    Wifey was craving Thai food for dinner, so a quick search in the nearby area brought us to Kinnaree. Street parking just out front on Ashland was free which was great (I love not having to pay for parking). For a Thursday night, we were the first ones in for dinner and were followed by another 2 or 3 groups. As I had noticed, plenty of orders going out the door for delivery and pick up. Interior is dimly lit and ambiance is casual. It seemed like it was a BYOB spot but I wasn't able to confirm via any sign. After studying the menu for a few, they do offer all the Thai favorites you've come to know and love. We ended up trying the Tom Kha soup with chicken to start and an order of pad see eiw and the spicy basil dish with pork. The Tom Kha soup seemed to lack coconut milk and didn't quite have the right consistency. The pad see eiw with beef was just okay and also seemed to be missing some key ingredients. On the other hand the basil pork was quite delicious and spicy, and I had no issues finishing all of it with the white rice served on the side. Debated almost going 2 star here as I feel I've had better Thai food else where, but I think the price point and the basil pork dish were enough to convince me... it's aite. 'Til next time, cheers!

    Polite service but food is just average (first time order). Maybe other entrees might be better? Not sure if I want to explore further.

As a street food spot that's popular for lunch, you get different offerings here than a lot of your other neighborhood Thai joints. Sat on the outdoor patio so didn't get to see the inside much but I liked our atmosphere and service. Split the papaya salad and the Laab Moo Krob (crispy pork belly salad) with a friend and both were outstanding. From the first crispy bite of the pork belly I was in love with the texture and flavors. We added a side of sticky rice with that which was perfect. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu that day but looks like I'll just have to return as soon as possible.

It feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that's easy to come back to again and again. We ordered the Thai coffee, Khao Ka Moo (braised pork over rice), Khao Pad Poo (crab fried rice), and the grilled pork salad. The standout for me was the grilled pork salad. It was incredibly refreshing, with bright sweet-and-sour flavors that really wake up your palate - especially on a hot summer day. The grilled pork added a nice smoky element, making it both light and satisfying. The crab fried rice was another favorite. It's one of those dishes that doesn't try too hard, yet delivers exactly what you want: fluffy rice, delicate egg, sweet crab, and comforting flavors. It's the kind of dish that quietly reassures you that everything is going to be okay - a simple, dependable plate that never disappoints. The braised pork was tender and comforting, and the Thai coffee was a great accompaniment to the meal. Overall, a wonderful local find with welcoming service, tasty food, and a comfortable dining environment. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu

She was clearly over-worked and exhausted and trying her best to keep it together but also in near tears. The food didn't even taste authentic - one of the dishes that should've had lemongrass actually had just basil instead. Maybe they ran out of ingredients? The corn fritters weren't fully cooked on the inside and doughy. And then, a homeless person high on drugs walked in and started asking each table for food. No one did anything about this and it made the whole experience even more awkward.

The food was completely underwhelming, and when we shared our concerns with the staff, nothing was done to address them. The service was equally disappointing. Our server spent much of the time sitting on her phone while we waited for basic service like water refills, being asked about drinks, and receiving the drinks we ordered. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone just to receive attention. As for the food, the gyoza was bland and tasted like unseasoned pork. The lemongrass beef stew curry, which was highly recommended, arrived cold, had an odd texture, and lacked any real flavor. Most shocking of all were the drunken noodles. I've ordered them countless times over the years and always considered them among the best in Chicago. This time, I couldn't get past a single bite. Every dish was left unfinished. We didn't finish a single plate and didn't take any leftovers home--something that never happens for us. Between the poor service and incredibly disappointing food, this was an awful dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, after being a longtime customer, I won't be returning.
