    Spicy Wonton tom yum soupwonton

    Everything I've ever tried from here was delicious. My fave is their spicy wonton tom yum soup! Don't forget the spicy chicken wings as a starter!

    This is one of my mother-in-law's favorite Thai restaurants. Not sure if it's because it's near her home or because the staff recognizes her and greets her warmly. The food was pretty good and we will probably return. It wasn't too crowded, which is a bonus.

    My brother and I went here for dinner. My brother has really been wanting to try Thai food and found this spot not to far from his house. We walked in and was seated immediately. The servers were very nice and welcoming. We started off with potstickers and grilled king oyster mushrooms for appetizers my brother had a wonton soup for his appetizer. The king oyster mushrooms were fantastic. I am a big fan of mushrooms. The potstickers were great. The wonton soup had to be some of the best wonton soup I've ever had. Anytime I eat Thai food I order the pad see ewe. That was very good. My brother has the 3 seasoned fish. Very good as well. The place was very clean and energy was great. I will definitely come back.

    pad kee mao

    such a hidden gem! on my list for top thai restaurants in chicago all the food was super flavorful and we loved all three dishes. the papaya salad with crab paste was very authentic and strong in flavor that we loved. the pad kee mao and three flavor deep fried fish were super tasty in its own way. we got a spice 3 and thought it was perfect if you like spicier food. i think any higher would've been overkill for us. overall, it might be on the saltier side, but i didn't mind too much service was good and for a thursday night it was packed. truly so excited to come back next time to try other dishes and get the papaya salad again!

    Great quality food at a very reasonable price. The spice is right and everything tasted very fresh. We will be regulars here!

    Very good for both meat and veggie lovers. Nice portions! I like that you can opt for brown rice for a little extra.

    Instantly one of my new favorite restaurants in Chicago. And probably one of my favorite Thai…read morerestaurants of all time. 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.

    Lots of Thai food spots in West Town but what distinguishes JJ Thai is their street food-focused…read moremenu. I advise straying away from the noodle classics like Pad Thai or Pad See Ew and opt for a soup, chicken, or rice plates! Pretty small inside so you may have a bit of a wait but overall really quick service. 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 found a hotel deal in the area and Thai Spoon caught my attention with their window menu and…read morereasonable price range and their cute decor. I came back the next day for a late lunch . I think I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time. The server was really nice and kept my water filled when I was thirsty from walking around all day. I was happy to see khao soi on the menu. I had been mixing it up with khao poun which is a different dish and doesn't have fried noodles. I like both. 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. I hope so, this was a lovely meal and a standout among all the chains and custom-bowl places. Would definitely return.

    We have ordered in for delivery several times now. Today we actually dined in for lunch. I'm so…read moreglad we did! They have a lunch special-- I didn't know! It's a few dollars less than the normal menu but a pretty good deal. My daughter and I ordered the pad see ew lunch, a regular Kara age chicken appetizer, and a taro boba. They also gave us a miso soup and two veggie egg rolls, unsure if that's part of the lunch special or not or standard for all done in customers, but it was a great addition! 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!
