Was Sidney H at Always Thai a mag?
I've been here twice now and loved it both times! The Crab Rangoon are sooooo delicious. So far I've tried the Pad Thai, Pad Khee Mao, vegetarian noodles, and Basil Fried Rice. All of the dishes were good, but my favorite so far is the fried rice! The spicy dishes were not very hot so I added sriracha. Also for reference, I did takeout both times but the restaurant was super empty when I picked up my food. Definitely... View all feedback.

What Surdeep C dislikes about Always Thai:
One of my favorite spots for cheap and delicious Thai food. I love the curry fried rice with beef and basil fried rice with chicken, and I ask for extra spicy and they really deliver! I have been over if takeout here for a couple years and I've never had a bad experience. Good customer service and food is ready in a timely manner. Just wish they had more business because it's really food! View all feedback.

Thai restaurant is always a hidden gem. I discovered it while searching for affordable vegan options and was delighted to find a variety of tofu dishes on the menu, just like many other Thai restaurants. My partner...

I absolutely adore this place! The Thai food is fantastic, the prices are affordable, and the owner is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend trying the Pad See Ew and Pad Kee Mao dishes - they are both delicious.

The best crab rangoon i have had in Chicago so far. IT's very accessible next to the brown line. The lunch special is very affordable and comes with more food than you will be able to eat in one sitting. i will continue to frequent here.
