Eto'o Modern Asian Cuisine
Eto'o Modern Asian Cuisine — straightforward thai in Hyde Park. It has that lived-in, been-here-forever warmth. The portions alone make it worth the trip. Sandra: "I felt the need to post for this place because their food is the best in Hyde Park" [$$]

“I have to leave a review while I’m eating because it’s THAT GOOD! I’m Asian so when I say it’s good I’m not joking. Smoky Grilled Pork absolutely best. Crab Royal Pad Thai is also too good to be true. Lobster Tom Yum Spaghetti could be a bit strange but it’s also very good. Love how the menu is full of unique options. The portion is huge, the price is very affordable. Wish I have bigger stomach to try more 😭 The place is clean, the staffs are nice. I can’t complain. I drove from downtown Chicago here and now I wish this place was next to my house. Definitely definitely come back.”
“I've know about this place and passed by it for years, it's next to my go-to record store in Chicago, but finally tried it yesterday. And all I can say is wow! Absolutely delicious. No frills on the ambiance but the food is the feature (as it should be) and doesn't disappoint. Very generous portions and good price point for Chicago as well. Seems to be BYOB which also adds a nice touch. Definitely an addition to the food rotation when I'm back in the Chi.”
“This food will blow your mind. Come in immediately ! I ordered chicken katsu green curry, it tastes just like Japan 🥹 with a Thai colour flair (no spice though, but I wanted no spice 🤩!) Boxed dessert cakes will also blow your mind. Buy! Taste! Buy again!”
“Always great service and Delicious food! I especially love that they KNOW How to cook Salmon! Photos are of Basil Fried Rice with Salmon . (I get it without the jalapeño because I can't take the heated kick they give.) But delicious both ways! I've enjoyed everything I ever ordered from here.”
“The food was really good. Huge portions so the dishes I had were sharable with a group of people. The prices were reasonable and it's in a good location in Hyde Park where there is plenty of parking.”
“Holy moly! So good! I just walked by here, it smelled so good. I ordered their signature dish —Shrimp & Lobster spaghetti tom-yum dish! So good!!”
“I love this place. The food is so good and flavorful. my favorite is the shrimp pad woon sen. The egg rolls are light and crunchy, and 1 is never enough. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity they provide.”
“One of the best Asian restaurants, delicious food. They accommodate vegan requests.”
“They should change their serving dishes! Most of the serving dishes are with chipped edges.”
“The food was pretty good! The place seemed to be an Asian fusion. The customer service was good too! Definitely would recommend; they give huge portions and tastes good too! One small thing is I didn’t really like how they made the spring egg rolls, as it was mainly just vegetables and tasted bland, but other than that really good!”
