In-On Thai

“If you're looking for an incredible Thai dining experience in Chicago, look no further.”

If you're looking for an incredible Thai dining experience in Chicago, look no further! We had the most delicious meal today, and every dish was a standout. We started with the chicken satay, which was perfectly grilled and paired with the most authentic, flavorful peanut sauce. You could tell it was made with care. Next, we had the shrimp pad thai, and I can confidently say it’s the best in Chicago—hands down. The balance of flavors was spot on, and the noodles had just the right texture. But the real star of the night? The green curry. Absolutely outstanding! The depth of flavor was unmatched, and you could immediately tell the curry paste was freshly ground—not store-bought. It had the perfect harmony of spice, creaminess, and aroma that left us wanting more. We can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend

Cute ambiance. Attentive service. Delicious food. Wish I took more pictures, but the food was just THAT good. My absolute fave was the panang curry with chicken!! Owners even came to our table to say hi. Love that I was able to find a good Thai restaurant so close to home. I’ll definitely be back.

Came here after my friends recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! Flavors were on point and taste more authentic than many others. The Panang Curry is a must try! It is a small restaurant ran by a lovely couple. Saw a guest wait to say goodbye to the owner before leaving the restaurant. Definitely worth visiting again!

“I eat here often, the food is amazing.”

I eat here often, the food is amazing. Any time I have friends over I suggest going here. They’ve all loved it as well. I think the owners appreciate how much I enjoy their food, and on occasion will surprise me with extra when I take it to go. Highly recommended!

“me and my partner went to in-on thai in on a day where it was take out only, and at a few points...”

me and my partner went to in-on thai in on a day where it was take out only, and at a few points during our orders we were taken back by the service, or lack thereof. after we ordered, they refused to give us water (even though there was a water pitcher next to them), let us use the bathroom, and at one point it seemed like we weren’t allowed to sit down on a bench inside to wait for our food. this was all because there was no dine in service, which is understandable, but it came across as unnecessarily strict and maybe a bit rude. in spite of our bad first impression, the food was fantastic. they had all the standard thai dishes as well as quite a few specialties that i haven’t seen elsewhere. the crispy fish with jungle sauce and the fried tofu with curry sauce were our favorites. we also had a hot and sour fish soup, and the papaya salad and pad se ew were both great versions of classic dishes (they seemed slightly spicier than at other thai places). this experience seems to be another example of an asian restaurant where the rudeness of the service is proportional to the food quality. will definitely come back, hopefully for dine in next time 🥲

The deep fried tofu, tofu phad thai, tofu with curry sauce and Thai ice tea were excellent! I’ll be back for other items on the menu. The restaurant is a great find and immaculately clean! Thank you.

“Underrated authentic Thai spot in Uptown that I go out of my way to order takeout from.”

Underrated authentic Thai spot in Uptown that I go out of my way to order takeout from. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious: green curry (with Thai eggplant!), pad see ew (good wok hei flavor), and satay chicken. Slightly more affordable than other Thai restaurants in Lakeview that are also not as good. Friendly service too!

“I’ve never had Thai before, so I’m next door picking up a few slices at the pizza place and I see...”

I’ve never had Thai before, so I’m next door picking up a few slices at the pizza place and I see this place so I’m like…. Ehhhhh why not. Let me tell you I was not disappointed at all. I ordered some kind of combination dish filled with an abundance of shrimp, octopus, pork and assorted veggies with I believe a clear noodle. Fabulouso!!!!! We also paired it with an appetizer, the spring rolls. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend this place, and they were so nice and kind when I walked in. Give these people all of your money!

“Hands down best Thai food in the city.”

Hands down best Thai food in the city. Hidden gem, that deserves every bit of recognition! Pad See Ew, Pad Thai with Glass Noodle, and Red Spicy Curry never cease to hit the spot. Do yourself a favor and order your next Thai meal from here!
