Each were amazing but the fried rice stood out a little to both of us as being so much flavor

Rice & Noodles — thai in Pilsen. The cooking is rooted in real tradition. Hospitality you can feel from the door. Priced right, good for vegetarians. "Pad Thai had that perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the rangoons were crispy with a creamy filling" — Rcpanget Obenita [$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

This a small store front restaurant. Clean, nice decor, 22 seats total off of the carry out register. Order at the register. Food is authentic Thai. More than willing to adjust spice and accommodate food restrictions. We had the crazy noodles with chicken, massamon curry with tofu and vegetable pot stickers. Everything fresh and seasoned well. What a neighborhood hidden gem!

Excellent Thai food tucked away in the Pilsen area. Vast options including duck and Thai spicy as an option. Huge selection of teas and horchatas. Service is outstanding! Highly recommend pad Thai noodles with duck.

I ordered the Butterfly Rolls and Shrimp Pad Thai. The Butterfly Rolls were bursting with a variety of fresh vegetables. The rolls come with a sauce on the side that helps add flavor. Overall, a good choice of you're focused on health and nutrients, if somewhat bland. The real star of the show is the Shrimp Pad Thai. Other reviews said the portions sizes are generous and they are correct. You will definitely have leftovers. Such great value for your money! Plus, the Pad Thai is bursting with flavor. I ordered takeout but as you can see from my pictures, I only made it to the car before I began eating. Will definitely be back when I'm in the mood for some good Pad Thai.

Place is solid 4 stars. Good food, nothing Amazing. Green curry felt watery. Noodles were good. Won’t go out of my way to eat here and definitely not the best Thai in the city.

The Pad See Ew is very sweet. You are not prompted to ask for spice level, so the default is none. The Thai Iced Coffee is good but more milk than coffee.

Cute restaurant. Decent service. I ordered red curry with glass noodles.it was awful. Watered down, no taste and the veggies were mushy. Wouldn’t recommend.
