“Great Pan-Asian Fusion of Thai and Japanese menu items. Excellent quality and friendly service.”

“Amazing food and a great variety of it! This is my go to for Thai, crag rangoon, or just to sit in a warm peaceful atmosphere.”

“Really delicious and affordable lunch here in Wilmette. I got the pad Thai with fried tofu as the complimentary appetizer. It also came with a small salad and soup. Big hearty portion! Definitely will be back soon.”

“Affordable lunch and bento box deals. The miso soup was very yummy. Had some vegan options.”

“I had the spicy Thai basil and the chicken pad Thai. I thought that the spicy Thai basil needed to be spicier. It was definitely on the medium spice level. The pad Thai was a little too sweet. But overall, the food was okay. Our waitress was very nice. The food came out quickly.”

“We have been coming here for the past couple of years, the food is normally very good. But during the most recent visit my Nard Nar was tasteless. The vegetables were under cooked, the noodles were swimming in blend liquid, the noodles and chicken had no taste. Wonder if their regular chef was off for the day and they had a guy that doesn’t know about Thai cooking? Hope our next visit will be much better. The waitress was as nice and friendly as usual.”
“Very calm and quiet atmosphere. The lady is very nice and very attentive. Everything for our order was correct and very delicious!😋”
“The vegetables were cooked perfectly and very fresh. The mango sticky rice was delicious, ripe sweet mangos, best ever.”

“I absolutely love their food! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The decor is beautiful and creates such a nice atmosphere. My kids can’t get enough of the moo ping with sticky rice, pad Thai, and pad see ew. And their Thai iced tea and iced coffee are my personal favorites!”
