It's conveniently located just a few blocks from Chicago's Symphony Hall, making it an easy walk. We arrived early around 5:30 pm, and the restaurant was nearly empty—I hope that’s just because of the time. The food was outstanding, and the staff were excellent. We ordered way more than we needed for two people, just to sample a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious. I was especially impressed by the gyoza and the corn salad—both come highly recommended. The restaurant is tucked inside a DePaul University building, and I hope it gets plenty of daytime business. It would be a shame if they had to close due to low patronage. My only letdown was that they served no beer or wine, only tea.

Leaving only great reviews of my experiences (or not great experiences: which are few) This place has been open in Chicago since October 2018 and why have I not been here yet? I love Thai fusion and this is one of my favorites!! I highly recommend (if you like hot) The Papaya Salad, Panang Chicken Curry and the Fried Roti for desert!! So since I eat out often I hardly eat the whole meal. I alway leave food on my plate no matter where I go. However the portion sizes were fair for the price and NO food was left at this dining experience. I think of this place when I travel and hope to find something close and I haven’t yet! So it makes me want to go back when I’m home for lunch or dinner. The menu was huge with many delicious options that I must try so eating there several times a month is going to be no problem! Highly recommend going to this place!!

Each of us really liked our meals which came with generous portion sizes (definitely enough for leftovers). Would have been better if they served alcohol, but their fruity hot tea hit the spot.

The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly, and it’s definitely a hidden treasure. read more The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly, and it’s definitely a hidden treasure.

The baked crab plate had barely any crab in it, there were no tapioca pearls in my Thai coffee, and the server was slow and not very attentive. read more The baked crab plate had barely any crab in it, there were no tapioca pearls in my Thai coffee, and the server was slow and not very attentive.
