“It’s not a fancy sit down eat place more like drop by for quick lunch BUT the food is amazing. Lunch specials is worth it, enough food depending on your appetite could have a little leftover for snack . Everything is fresh! Have been back a few times”
“Great Thai restaurant. Not fancy, but very clean and cozy, great service. Food arrived very fast. We ordered crab Rangoon, green curry with chicken, and beef fried rice. The portions are huge, everything was delicious. Also very affordable. 10/10 would recommend.”

“The food is delicious, the service is great, and the price is right 👍”
“Worst orange chicken I’ve ever had by a mile. Bone-dry. The only way you can tell some sauce (maybe rub) was used is the very subtle orange flavor. Inedible”
“One of my favorite places in Evanston for carry-out. The service is good, the prices are affordable, and the food is great (particularly the noodle dishes). Take my word for it and order the crazy noodles.”
“Easily one of the best restaurants in all of Evanston. I could drink the broth of the Panang Curry out of a thermace. 10 out of 10, they never miss”
