I had lunch here with my wife and Mom today.
The food was great and the service was excellent. I'll be returning again soon and will bring a friend, too.
Our all-time favorite place to go for lunch specials.
Phenomenal place.
Had Grubhub order delivered by Dowize. It was late and the food was horrible.

“We had the soft shell crab as an appetizer and it was tasty, crunchy, and delicious 😋”
Just not good, sadly.
I showed up, called, and Facebook messaged at the time it said they are open. No one was there and the doors were locked.

“Really delicious and affordable lunch here in Wilmette.”
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.

“I had the spicy Thai basil and the chicken pad Thai.”
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.”
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.

“I had lunch here with my wife and Mom today.”
I had lunch here with my wife and Mom today. I was surprised with how delicious the food was and it's priced really reasonable. We had the soft shell crab as an appetizer and it was tasty, crunchy, and delicious 😋 . We also had the lunch specials bento box. Beef Pad Thai, spicy Kung pao chicken, and Chicken Thai Basil. All cooked very well. Kudos to the chef! Even the free Miso soup had that yummy umami flavor. We were seated quickly and our server was prompt. We'll be coming back here when I'm at Wilmette.

“Phenomenal place.”
Phenomenal place. Came here after a long day and upon entering was seated right away, servers are friendly and the place is quite cozy. Got the pad thai and it was one of the best I've tried--it was flavorful and portions were generous. I hate how when you dine at some restaurants, sometimes it's like someone has a stop watch going timing you from the minute you sit down til you leave. This was NOT that. I felt quite at home and took my time to eat at a comfortable, leisurely pace. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone considering going in, do it.
