Eat Fine Design By Khun Kung
Kobe N · 248 Google reviewsEat Fine Design By Khun Kung — one of Bucktown's strongest thai spots. The room fills up fast and stays lively. Expect something different from the standard lineup. Open late, BYOB. Kevin Tan: "The roasted duck was tender and perfectly complemented the rich, Thai spicy curry" [$$]

“Eat Fine Design by Khun Kung is a culinary love letter to Thai flavors with a modern twist—and it’s seriously good. Every dish felt curated, balanced, and full of personality. But let’s talk about the calamari: hands down, some of the best I’ve had in Chicago. Lightly crisped, tender inside, and paired with a dipping sauce that actually made me pause mid-bite to appreciate the moment. The rest of the meal followed suit—bold flavors, elegant plating, and a vibe that’s both stylish and welcoming.”
“very authentic thai food with friendly service! tasty and portion is great, lots of options”
“MUST GO PLACE. So authentic, great food, reasonable price, great service (not sure what ppl are complaining about). We had a reservation and preordered our menu the day before, so everything was well coursed out over a span of 2hrs. Must haves: Chive cakes, Duck red curry, Short rib noodle thing. Soooo good - duck red curry has lycee,grapes,pineapples that surprisingly balance out duck and spice. It was too good that we are planning on going back in 2weeks!!!”
“Think about any Thai restaurant in chicago. This place is more authentic than any of them. I lived in Thailand for a month and came back to chicago back in 2012. Never could eat Thai food here. Eat Fine Design by Khun Kung is exactly the mouth taste from Thailand. 10/10 A detail like this is what you expect from true great home chefs. Unfortunate we had to eat take out at home, but still absolutely fantastic. It’s open till 2am, order from here late night after pickleball or tennis.”
“Every dish is full of flavor & so so good. Would definitely return to try other dishes. Service is A+++. Reservation is required as the place is small.”
“Each dish is very flavorful! A lot of spices used and you will have a great variety of fried, curry, and happy carbs! Reservation needed if you want to dine in. Parking on the street is available. I saw many people do takeout.”
“Best Thai I’ve had since visiting Thailand! We got spice level 2 and still tasted a kick.”
“Im too exicted because they open until 2am which is really great for me. Had a somtum laos (papaya salad) spicy level 5 its really delicious and satisfy me as an asian 👌 they served the food with pretty platter. small restaurant but atmosphere is warm. Friendly services they even try to say thank you in bahasa.. ☺️ For sure i will come back 👌”
“Food is loaded with flavor! I'll back with more friends for sure.”
“Chicago has been my second home since 1987. One thing I often look forward to is all of the amazing food the city has to offer. Unfortunately, my visit to Eat Fine was not one of them. While I server was very pleasant, it took incredibly long to receive our food. We ordered three appetizers and order of shrimp fried rice. A large party that came after us was served five entrees before we received our food. In fact, they were served my dumplings first. A server was going to actually serve them to me after another patron picked over them.I don’t know what was in my vegetable dumplings. My soup was good,. Too much great food and prompt service in this city to try this subpar eatery again.”
“I was disappointed to see how poorly these turtles are kept at Eat Fine. I want to support local business, but these pet turtles have no space in their enclosures. They need a more ethical habitat than these small plastic boxes. Eat Fine, please consider researching proper enclosures and habitat for your turtle friends.”
