“I stoped here at the day raining and saw the stunning food. Love it and enjoy with. Will come back again.”

“Really good for fast casual Thai! Got the lo mein and could hardly make a dent in it. 😅”

“Service was really fast and the Khao Soi was really good! I like the way you can grab your own things and is a great lunch spot for being quick.”

“Welcome to thailand 🙏🏻 This is first time of me for here and I love. Make me missing thailand. Perfect! If you want to feel thailand , be here.”

“A must try! We had the panang curry, pad see ew, crispy Brussels, and the crepe cake. Every single thing was full of delicious flavor. We are picky! But the flavors were perfect. Crispy Brussels were perfectly cooked. They can be bitter when overcooked or undercooked and they were in that Goldilocks zone of “just right”. Pad see ew was perfectly balanced. Panang curry had quality coconut flavor and I could taste the basil I asked for. Crepe cake was creamy but light. We loved it all. Best part was the service. The young man who greeted us was kind and enthusiastic and funny. He answered our many questions and made recommendation that were spot on. You hired a guy with a great customer service personality. Hold on to him and pay him well. Good guy. We loved him. Will definitely be back!”

“Delicious food. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, Tom Kha, and Brussels Sprouts with Thai Tea. We chose Thai Spice level and was glad we did. All food was spot on! We ordered way too much food for two people and had a ton of food to take home! Best surprise was the Brussels Spouts.♥️ Will come back again soon. Thank you!”

“I visited Green Basin on Street, Chicago and tried their mango salad it was fresh, light, and really well balanced. The mango was perfectly ripe, and the salad had a nice mix of sweetness and tangy flavors, making it very refreshing. It felt healthy without compromising on taste. The ambience was calm and comfortable, and the overall experience was quite pleasant.”

“Excellent restaurant! I had the green curry with tofu, which was phenomenal and everyone working was very friendly. Service was also very fast. I’d definitely recommend.”
