    Pla Lui Suan (whole fried snapper)

    Authentic Thai street food options with all your favorites on the menu. Don't miss the Khao Soi and definitely check out one the four whole fish options. Everything was delicious--note that the food comes out as ready so even though we ordered an app it was the last dish to arrive (perhaps a kitchen error but keep in mind). The outdoor patio is nice and there are heaters which made it comfortable.

    Ambiance: The restaurant was bright and welcoming. The tables are a bit small and close together so if you have a larger party of 5+, it can be a tighter squeeze. Service: Our server, Ping, was amazing! He was very attentive. Food: The food was one of the best Thai I've had in a while! I ordered the basil chicken over rice (medium spicy). The chicken dish was very fragrant, and was actually pretty spicy!

    My new fav Thai in the city! I'm always on the hunt for a delicious pad see ew, and this one did not disappoint. I got the level 3 spice level which was perfect. Right at the top of my spicy threshold. My husband got the pad Thai with level 4. It didn't seem that spicy though. The sauce was pretty sweet for a pad Thai though. He said he would go with the pad see ew next time because mine was better. We also got the ribeye appetizer which was tasty. Overall, all very good and the prices were pretty standard for Chicago but the portions were a bit smaller than other places I felt. Either way, I'm a fan!

    Cute little spot!! Colorful interior with a lively feel and great service. Amazing food with big portion sizes that are full of flavor! Can't wait to be back! Food: Chicken Fried rice. Big portion size with well cooked chicken and sweet onions.

    Ordered take out online for pick up! Super easy process, which honestly is great. Food was packaged well, no spills on the drive home. Staff was super welcoming when we walked in. The space is tiny, which makes sense that other reviews talk about reservations. The crab rangoons were the standout for me! Pad Thai was good. I will just remember to add more peanut sauce when we order from here again. Pretty pricy compared to our normal Thai place, BUT, would definitely not hesitate to order from here again.

    They haven't been open long & have had great reviews. We were excited to try it. Walked in without a reservation on a cold December Saturday night. They said the wait was 20-25 minutes. No problem. The place is tiny. We waited in the breezeway. After about 30 minutes or so, the host tells us we will be sat in less than 10 minutes. Yay, because the zero degree temps had us so cold. It felt like a Seinfeld episode. Nope, after another 20 minutes, we considered leaving. I wish they'd have been more honest about the wait. We got seated in the back. One bench seat, one chair. When I say cramped, it still doesn't describe how tight it was. We had to have people move just to get back there. Thought it would be warm by the kitchen. My feet were frozen. I had to ask people to get up so I could make my way to the bathroom. They were annoyed, and so was I at this point. The food was decent, I'd give it 3.5 stars if it wasn't for everything else. Shrimp pad se ewe had the tails on. The noodles were a bit mushy. Tofu pad Thai was great. The tofu was prepared so good. Didn't have drinks or dessert because we wanted to go home & warm up after a nearly 2 hour dinner.

    What a pleasant surprise! I came here with a group of friends, and we were all impressed by the quality, quantity, and authenticity of the food. It's been a while since I've had truly great Thai cuisine! I had no idea there were so many varieties of papaya salad -- we tried the one with salted crab, and it was absolutely delicious. The Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and Green Curry were all excellent as well. Just a note of caution: the green curry leans on the spicier side, and my friend wasn't expecting that extra kick. Their spice level 5 is very spicy due to the use of Thai chilies, so choose wisely! The restaurant is BYOB and charges per glass. The interior is vibrant and warm, with cozy yellow lighting. Seating is a bit limited, but definitely worth the wait. Service was excellent' Our waiter offered great suggestions and checked in on us throughout the meal. Overall, I totally recommend this place for amazing food and good vibes!

    It was 10 degrees outside when we went here but, the restaurant was freezing at 7pm. It makes the whole experience a little less pleasant when my feet and legs are freezing. It really started out when we walked in on Saturday night without a reservation. We put our name in and were told 20 - 25 minutes. We waited in the small waiting area at the front door. The front door kept opening and closing due to customers and take out orders. I did mention that it was 10 degrees outside. This made it almost unbearable to wait in the waiting breezeway. To add to the misery, it was over 50 minutes before we got seated. We would not have waited if they told us it will be close to an hour instead of "20 - 25 minutes but it probably won't be that long". After waiting 25 minutes in the freezing waiting area, we started to question whether to stay or not. You know the game - we already have almost a half hour invested, do you wait it out or do you go somewhere else? We were basic and ordered PAD THAI and PAD SEE EIW. It was good but not anything that you couldn't get at any other Thai Restaurant. We ordered 3 out of 6 for their spicy scale (medium). It was pretty spicy and my stomach was burning on the ride home. Plenty of other good Thai Restaurants in the city.

    Service was excellent with a very welcoming atmosphere. The decor felt authentic to Thai culture and added to the overall experience. The food was delicious, especially the papaya salad -- definitely one of the more authentic ones I've had. Just a heads up: even the medium spice level can be very spicy! Highly recommend this place.

    Great portions and well priced!
    Cody S.

    Grand opening was Oct 3rd 2025! Excited to have this place near us! Most than places I would go to in the past we would just order out, but this place has a great inside that's rather inviting to dine in! The service was quick and super friendly. The menu has everything you need and the portions are rather generous! Definitely will be one of my regular stops, so good!

    Jane Y.

    Got the pad kee mao and the steamed fish. Thoroughly enjoyed both spicy flavorful dishes. My heart is content. I meant to bust out my phone for a before pic but the food was good and I was hungry. This place is a small cute cozy spot. I will revisit when I am in town again! Also, service was on point and warm.

    Tum Thai & pu - papaya salad with salted crab! The crab is indeed salty
    Johnfavour N.

    I'm so glad Tuk Tuk Thai opened up this Wicker Park location, it's some of the best Thai food I've had in the states! The decor inside is beautiful and it really transports you to Thailand for a brief moment. I've already had this 4 or 5 times in the last month, both dining in and takeout. My favorite dish is their signature pad Thai with the head-on shrimp. The noodles have the perfect bounciness and the shrimp heads are so flavorful. My family is southeast Asian and this dish really reminded me of how my mom used to cook the head-on shrimp. I love the huge menu of papaya salads to choose from. They come with different toppings and dressings. If I'm feeling indecisive I just go with the original Tum Thai. I've tried the salted crab which was delicious but definitely need to be in the mood for it. The Laab Isan menu is labeled as Thai Spicy salad. The pork neck laab was really tender and has a great sauce which is a little crunchy from the toasted rice. However you should note it's more meat than vegetable, and the vegetable is mainly mint. For most dishes you have an option to select the spice level. We usually get spice level 2 which is pretty mild, but the spice levels do go up to 6 if you're adventurous. I've had the Tom Yum and Tom kha soups in person, I love that you can get it in a hot pot when you dine in to keep it warm. There's usually a generous amount of shrimp in the soups. My latest order was a takeout order of the prik king moo krob, a crispy pork belly with chili herb paste and long green beans. It comes with rice and and the sauce is super flavorful. The service is excellent for both dining in and takeout. Even at a smaller table for 2 they're able to fit 3 dishes including a hot pot on the table. The servers are friendly and can provide suggestions for ordering. I didn't know they had sticky rice as an option but the server asked us if we wanted some since it would go well with the Laab and tiger cry. The sticky rice was hot and fresh and took me back to my days studying abroad eating street food in Thailand. Definitely check out Tuk Tuk Thai, everything I've had on the menu has been delicious!

    Panang curry, tom kha hot pot, ka prow w beef, chicken wings, tiger cry and papaya salad.

    Beautiful space and good service. We ordered a variety of dishes to share. Everything was delicious except for the papaya salad and overcooked streak on the tiger cry. This restaurant fills up fast so definitely make a reservation.

    Came to Muan Jai Thai for lunch on the weekend and was happy with my visit - the decor is really…read morenice, lots of greenery and plants, st patties themed - overhead lamps add a nice touch and everything is pretty clean, bathrooms included. There are window views from the restaurant, making for good people watching. Mainly metered parking available Medium to large sized place with dedicated sections for thai food (about 8 tables and 2 rows of bar style seats) vs for sushi and ramen but all under the same place/owner, can order from any menu - the decor on that side is super cute, fish cutouts, anime/manga decorated walls, decked out bars Got the scuba diving chicken from the chefs faves and must say it was pretty good - a bit on the greasier side but the aroma of the herbs and the spices from the curry really pull through, chicken is cooked very well, super tender and juicy. I got the "No turning back" spice level and theres a hefty kick - halfway into the dish my mouth def feels it but nothing too extreme (FYI theres a slight mala-like numbingness to it) The traditional papaya salad was crunchy and refreshing, sauce is tangy but not too overwhelming. The peanuts add a nice nutty element to it. There were hardly any dried shrimp, so wouldve like to see a bit more of that. Be sure to give it a good mix as the sauce and topping fall to bottom of the bowl To top it off, the service was great. Albert was really attentive and helpful - would come back if im in the gold coast area again to try the other menu offerings

    Small but cozy place. We were able to call ahead and make a reservation…read more Moo ping (pork skewers with sticky rice) - 10/10. My toddler devoured this.

    So so good! My husband & I were craving Thai food and decided to come here for lunch. We got here…read morejust about a half hour opening and it was already pretty busy with people dining in and people waiting for takeout... always a good sign! Seating was a little tight like at Phodega, but not terrible. To view menu, you scan a QR code at the table. My husband & I ordered the following: - Grilled Squid This was really good! I thought it was going to come out like little calamari rings, but it was actually a decently sized whole squid, sliced with the tentacles on the side. It was cooked perfectly as it was not chewy or rubbery. The flavor was great, especially with the paired Thai-spicy seafood sauce. - Crab Meat Fried Rice Loved that this was with real crab! & not the imitation crab. There were bits of crab meat throughout the rice and then topped with a big lump of crab meat. It came served with a lime & yummy fish sauce with fresh Thai chili's. - Bamee Noodles with BBQ Pork without broth This bowl of egg noodles had a slightly sweet flavor to it, served with a fox amount of BBQ Pork which was also nice & tender! Slurped it all up! - Jina's Fried Chicken This was good, but not anything like out of this world. It was fried chicken leg quarter, served with black sticky rice. - Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango LOVED this! It was a great way to end our meal! I loved that it came with extra sweet sauce! - Taro Tapioca in Coconut Milk Cream This was great too! It was actually a warm dessert. The menu described it as "Tapioca pearls" so I was expecting the tiny little clear boba balls, but it was cubes of like glutinous rice. Which was not bad! I liked it a lot; it reminded me of Ginataang Bilo Bilo (#iykyk if you're Filipino)! Overall, a delicious experience! We would eat here again!
