“I love this restaurant! I would go there more often if I hadn't moved to another neighborhood. Just the thought of their tom yum saves me on the toughest days lol. Look how beautifully they serve the sushi! I enjoyed every bite of my dinner.”

“Highly recommend this place especially their lunch special, which goes throughout the week. Appetizer, side/drink, and Main course for around $15. If you get the Thai iced coffee as your side it is well worth it. Most places would charge you $5-7 just for the drink! You won’t be disappointed! Owner and staff are great and accommodating!”

“Oh my God best sushi. I have had in a very long time and daily specials. Highly recommend very small but so so good.”

“We tried the chicken curry on a rainy day and it was superb! Went back to try the soups since they are ‘buy one get one free’ on Sundays (dine in only).”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a charming family-run Thai restaurant, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine welcome that made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a family meal. The owners clearly take pride in their establishment, and it shows in every detail. The menu featured a delightful array of traditional Thai dishes, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. If you're looking for fantastic Thai food in a welcoming environment, this family-run gem is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more dishes!”

“Delicious food every time I visit; dine in/delivery you can't go wrong. Highly recommend.”

“My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal experience! The service was fast and the food was very flavorful!!! We will be definitely coming back.”

“Please change your pricing for your "meaty eggrolls" & chicken wing appetizer to under $5.00. There is nothing meaty about these egg rolls and these are $9 six piece wings that are from a baby chicken...maybe. I won't knock your entrees because I've had your food before and it was good. But these prices for this quality is just stupid as hell. Also, the delivery guy stated the app turned him around so maybe that's why those were cold. Won't be ordering again as this is the 2nd time I've ordered apps from you and the sizing for the price is just not mathing. I spent $70 on this order like an idiot. Never mind your $23 chicken teriyaki is mushy too & so is my orange chicken. So talk to your delivery dude. No Mas.”

“Just placed an order and found a hair on my sushi. So disappointed and disgusted. Should be more careful with the employees how they handle food care”

“Absolute horrible customer service. Placed and order, which ended up running 45 minutes late through doordash, and when I called the store… no answer, when i called my driver to ask speak to the team to see what was going on, they refused to speak to me. Will not be ordering again. No accountability.”

“The Most Overrated Restaurant in the Six Corners Area of Chicago First, the restaurant had a terrible odor when we walked in. Second, I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen. When it arrived at my table, it wasn’t hot, the noodles on top were slightly dried out, and the soup barely filled half the bowl. I refused to eat it and took it back to the counter, telling them I didn’t want the ramen. They apologized and assured me that I wouldn’t be charged for it. However, when I asked for the check, the server didn’t provide it right away and instead just told me the total was $45. I asked her to print the check, and when she did, I was frustrated to see that the ramen I didn’t eat was still included. When I questioned why I was being charged for it, she awkwardly said she wouldn’t charge me after all, clearly caught in the act of trying to slip it onto the bill. It felt like a sneaky attempt to charge me for something I refused. She eventually fixed the check, and I paid. Finally, our order took longer to arrive than that of another table that came in after us, yet their food was served much more quickly. I have no idea why. Check the picture of my total amount below”
