Thai Bowl — thai in West Loop. The cooking is rooted in real tradition. Priced right. Jess Ochoa: "The peanut sauce for the chicken satay was incredible" [$, patio]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.
☀️Patio — a West Loop classic in summer.

Pai Thai was delicious, and the staff working there were considerable. If you are a UIC student remember bringing your ID card, they would give you a 10% discount.

This is the go to place when I was studying in UIC a few years ago. The taste is great and their open hours are quite friendly to students’ life. I visited the restaurant recently, unfortunately they are still not open for dine in. But you can sit outside to have the take out you ordered.

Good Thai food in the neighborhood. Keep in mind that the price has increased (see photo). Also there no dine in. There's sitting area outside though.

Recommendations: Beef curry noodles, Thai Bowl Mixed fried rice, Chicken satay, Basil chicken and Thai iced tea This food is some of the best Thai food I have ever had. My family has been going here for years (since they had the dine in option). Whenever I come back to Chicago, I have to get some. Eat here and you won’t regret it!
