It s another good authentic thai food in chicago. Most dishes we ordered are very good. even some dish that it’s a little too sweet but good texture. the server was great. Place looks comfy, clean and space. Will go back to try another dishes. There are so many interesting dishes. Just head up, order 1 portion, you can eat for 2 people because is huge.
The Pad Ped Catfish and Wild Boar were well-seasoned - the catfish was crispy, and the wild boar was tender and flavorful, though the meat portion felt a bit small. The Pad Phrik Khing Crispy Pork stood out with its very crispy pork belly pieces and excellent seasoning.
Overall, it was a decent meal, but not the best Thai experience I've had in Lakeview/Lincoln Park. The restaurant space is snug with close seating to other parties, and it can get quite busy. Be sure to bring cash for dine-in as well!
Amazingly flavorful and well made dishes with TONS of vegetarian and vegan options. They were so large I think we all took home around half of our meal and got an entire second meal out of it. Located right off the Brown and Purple line at Diversey stop, it’s really easy to get to! It’s not a huge space so I’d recommend making a reservation just in case.
Got the Kao Soy spicy. Such a good balance of sweet and spicy. There was a strong peanut flavor and the broth kept me spooning for more. Only bad things were lack of napkins/none before I noticed stains on my shorts and some kind of acidic (probably the lime) took away from the dish. CASH ONLY
Restaurant is cash only. Food was yummy and came fresh. Great place to sit and eat too.
There were four of us and everyone enjoyed lunch. The food and service was fantastic. The only thing I think they should change is they only take cash. Like many businesses today, they can't afford to absorb the cost charged by the credit card companies. I believe they should offer the option, but have the customer pay the fee if they want to use a credit card. Especially because an awful lot of people under 35 years of age don't seem to carry cash with them. I think they are needlessly losing a lot of business, which is a shame because I would love to see Andy's Thai Kitchen be around for many years to come.
I ordered two items for delivery; som tum and tom yam. I am very familiar with authentic thai dishes and these two dishes would tell me if this joint serves authentic Thai food or not. Kinda like when you go to a sushi joint and order their spicy tuna roll.. a barometer for authenticity. The food came super fast! 5 stars for delivery. As for taste, both dishes are too sweet and tomatoey (tom yam soup) to be authentic Thai. Thailand serves more pungent, spicy and sour taste. I guess they cook to cater to American taste buds. Som tum portion is pretty huge.. tom yam soup is standard in the small soup takeout container
Overall a solid meal, but customers be warned - this place plays it fast and loose with the spice!
My girlfriend and I shared the beef pad see ew and the basil chicken with the grilled squid as an appetizer. All were delicious and well presented, though nothing particularly notable. The basil chicken was very spicy, even as someone who normally enjoys spicy food. Service was a bit slow and the choice of music was pretty bad. I might return if I'm in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
This is a solid 4.3 rating. Ordered food to-go for Astros-Phillies but postponed. Lets start with the chicken satay, the grill on the chicken was perfect and peanut sauce was very tasty. Also ordered the Tom yum soup, which had nice tart and warm flavors with a lot of veggies. The star here is the kao soy. There is a lot of noodles and their peanut sauce has peanuts in it. Thats first I’ve ever had but added nice crunch. Overall it was an excellent Thai meal.
Loved loved the food. We had a slight hitch, my entree which was supposed to be vegetarian came with two pieces of chicken, which I was disappointed about and the server was very apologetic and was willing to immediately replace it.
I would have not been ok if the taste of the overall meal wasn't perfect - sauce, spice level, noodles was 10/10. I got the pad khee mao and my partner got the spicy udon pad Thai which he devoured.
Next time I'm going to try the curries since this is one of the authentic places.
One inconvenient thing though is, they only accept cash.
If you have dietary restriction make sure to specify clearly and have them be careful!
