“Wonderful little experience while dining in Chicago. Great service, excellent food. Good sample of different dishes to share. Good atmosphere. Prompt and courteous service.”
“10/10. Got the boat noodle, raw shrimp, and Thai iced tea. Boat noodle had a delicious sweet soy soup base. Raw shrimp had this incredibly refreshing sauce of bird eye chili, mint, garlic, palm sugar and fish sauce 物超所值的泰餐！第一次吃船面，没想到原来是对中国胃超级友好的卤水汤底！生腌虾吃起来毫无腥味，赞”
“Easily the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Excellent friendly service, great little place. I am a regular customer because of their reliably delicious food and friendly staff. Great for both dine-in and takeout”
“Love their beef pad see ew! I've had it a couple of times and have never been disappointed”
“The food was great! I came here for dinner after treating myself to a head spa scalp treatment that’s a minute (walking distance) away from Andy’s Thai Kitchen. Cozy restaurant and friendly service. I ordered the grilled squid and crab fried rice. The crab fried rice hit the spot (had a lot of those in Thailand during my honeymoon earlier this year)!”
“Excellent place for some really good Thai food. The service was very good and there was paid parking available out front. Fyi...only cash.”
“Pleasant atmosphere, good pad Thai and good quantity too. I liked that I could have almost any item made vegetarian and I could add extra veggies as well. The service was quick and it’s a place I would go back to again.”
“We love this place! The food is AMAZING! The starters, the mains, and the desserts. Everything. The atmosphere is okay, the service is great. Remember: they only take cash (they have an ATM inside, so no worries if you don’t have at the moment).”
“Not perfect for a five star review, but I was quite happy with my experience at Andy’s for BYOB, wide menu full of different dishes and an authentic take on those dishes. I think the cash-only part is also worth it for BYOB and generous portions. Everyone at our table was very happy with the flavors and ingredients in all of the dishes. I get the sense that not every dish comes out the same every time, especially in regards to heat level. My “spicy” pad Thai udon was sweet and less spicy except for the sliced jalapeños (which were good), almost to the point of being overly sweet, and overly sauced, with nothing special about the chicken, but the fresh ingredients and flavor profile still made for a great pad Thai and the udon was a nice twist. Pad kee Mao, Penang curry and crispy pork belly were all well received, with the pork belly maybe not quite crispy enough. I would rather come here and try all the different dishes then go to a slightly trendier spot at a higher price point. It captured the ethos of casual Thai food perfectly.”
