Noodles Party — a thai spot in Albany Park. The flavors don't apologize for being bold. Good value, open late. Yuanita Gunawan: "Note: order not spicy if you cannot handle spicy food"

“Every Tuesday and Wednesday, they serve delicious and authentic Thai noodle dishes at incredibly affordable prices”
I ordered takeout from Noodles Party and at first I noticed that the Tofu Pad Thai I had ordered was actually chicken Pad Thai.
Food is ok. Nothing too special. Ordered the spicy Korean chicken wings for an app. It cost $7.50 for 4 wings.
The Beef Pad Thai was poor per my friend who is a Pad Thai fanatic.

“My bsf and I decided to give this place a try after their rebranding.”
My bsf and I decided to give this place a try after their rebranding. They are only open two days a week with a rotating menu so we must visit again after our first great experience here. We started with the longan tea which is sweet and refreshing, it went great with the spicy soup we had. For entrees, we shared the pink noodles soup and the fish ball tomyum soup, both with thin rice noodles. The pink noodles soup is interesting since it was my first time trying it but it was good. The fishball tomyum noodles soup is spicy but it was so good, we finished the last drop of soup while fighting for our lives 😂. For dessert, we got the shaved ice to cool everything down. It comes with some corn and jellies underneath, we didn’t really like the bread chunks as they don’t compliment the dish. The people here are really sweet and we would come back to try the boat noodles and the braised duck noodles 😋

“Great food so authentic.”
Great food so authentic. Very friendly service. Very crowded in a small restaurant but they def tried to speed it up and make it feels home for you. Two of us ordered three entrees, one appetizer and one dessert which is def too much. But we absolutely enjoyed all dishes. We got the meatballs which you can tell are made from fresh fish. We got two noodle dishes and one braised pork with rice. Absolutely enjoyed the rich ingredients and flavor of both. Coconut as the dessert and you can tell it’s homemade. 5/5 for sure

“Authentic Thai boat noodle.”
Authentic Thai boat noodle. Everything is delicious. Love it and definitely a must try. Note: order not spicy if you cannot handle spicy food. They put dried/oil 🌶🌶 and it is "asian spicy level" 🤣 Although as a non-thai person, I must say that it can be intimidating to come and to order. Their serving style is more like Thai steet food, please do not expect "western" style serving.

“I grew up with the scorching heat of SEA.”
I grew up with the scorching heat of SEA. Maybe that's why every year, when the winter chills start to sneak up, my homesickness always follows close behind. I’m not sure if it was fate or coincidence but I stumbled upon Noodles Party on one of those cold days that made the city feel especially far from home. The moment I stepped inside, I was mesmerized. The space is so unapologetically authentic: the glass display case stacked full of skewers in the corner, the branded tarps covering the tables, the condiment caddies on top of the tables. For a second, Chicago seemed to blur away behind me and I felt like I was back at a hawker stall somewhere at home. Their menu is small and rotates weekly. It usually consists of a few Thai noodle soups and street food dishes. To me, the noodle soups are the highlights with their incredibly rich and complex broths. So far, this is the only spot in the city that made me stop and think wow, this feels a little like home. Chicago winters will still be cold but at least now I know where to go when my hands need to be kept warm with a steaming fragment of home.

“If you’re a fan of authentic Thai noodles, this place is a must-visit.”
If you’re a fan of authentic Thai noodles, this place is a must-visit! Every Tuesday and Wednesday, they serve delicious and authentic Thai noodle dishes at incredibly affordable prices. The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced, just like you’d find in Thailand. The restaurant is always bustling with customers, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Even when I arrived as early as 6:00 PM, there was already a line, and I had to wait for a seat. However, the wait is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re craving authentic Thai noodles. Just make sure to go early and be prepared for a little wait—it’s all part of the experience!

“I ordered food for delivery and it came very quickly.”
I ordered food for delivery and it came very quickly. I ordered through GrubHub. I ordered the Spicy Drunken Noodles with beef and an order of Crab Rangoon (6 pieces). The drunken noodles were good, nothing spectacular. I felt like the noodles were too chewy and stuck together. The beef tasted alright; somewhat bland and cheap. The flavoring in the dish was actually pretty good though. It was savory with the right amount of spiciness. The basil fried rice was okay. The rice was overcooked. The beef was chewy. The flavoring was mediocre. The crab rangoon was pretty good. They were large and crispy. The filling inside was pretty good, but a little heavy on the cream cheese and light on the "crab". This spot is open late. Food is priced fairly. This is definitely a late night type of spot.

“I was really disappointed in the food quality.”
I was really disappointed in the food quality. It was burnt, over cooked, and the flavor was awful. The menu is the same, but the items were below standard, probably unhappy cook. I was definitely looking forward for a nice anniversary meal. From disappointed experience we even lost appetite. The driver was excellent!
