“So tasty, kind, quick, and wonderful vibes all around. More like ~$20 per person if you get an appetizer. Glad we stopped by!”
“Excellent prices and high quality. All the dishes were incredible!! I'll be back for sure.”
“First time here, the food was AMAZING. Everything was fresh and delicious 😋 I will definitely be coming back and it's only 7 minutes from my house. Yes.”
“We love love LOVE Dena Kitchen! Its affordable, large portions, and incredible food. All of the curry’s are amazing (Red is our fave!) and everything else we’ve had has also been incredible. Bonus points for having so many vegetarian options.”
“I got the Pad Thai and spring rolls which were delicious. The only thing I wish was better was the dine in service and temperature inside (it was hot outside, so I understand). But, after they noticed we were inside, they served us really politely and timely. Loved the food!”
“Very tasty! We ordered tofu pad kee mao and shrimp basil fried rice and both were very large portions (2 dishes is enough for 3/4 people). The pad kee mao was a tiny bit more sour than expected, but it had a delicious char on the noodles and tofu. I do wish the ratio of noodles to veg was a little higher, but it was still very good. No complaints at all on the basil fried rice.”
“Food was delicious. Ugh why didn’t I stay to eat!? I wish I had someone to eat with with I took food to eat at home with my brother. I’ll have to drag my fam to eat there next time, because the jams were on point.”
“Really enjoyed the food, the service, and the atmosphere. A rare find nowadays”
“I truly can't express my appreciation for this wonderful space. It's my favorite Thai place in the city, their reasonable prices & consistently delicious food keep me coming back frequently. My go-to is the pad see ew with beef, recently tried it with tofu & it still hit just as delicious! The curries are always on point, warm & nourishing. The folks there are also always so sweet & kind. I can't stress enough what a gem this place is, you just have to try it & see for yourself!”
“The walls are covered in children's drawings and the low light, quiet atmosphere makes it really enjoyable for a calm meal with friends and family. Every time we can, we try to take people here, and every time, without fail, they leave and tell us how awesome and tasty it was. I have loved everything I have gotten there--the curry especially! Their Thai Tea is the best I have ever had by MILES, and I recommend it to whoever will listen. They even introduced me to my new favorite snack, which are taro chips. I think Dena Kitchen is a hidden gem of Logan Square, and more people should stop in. Very excited to eat there again. See you soon!”
