R Haan Thai — high-caliber thai in Lincoln Square. The flavors are genuine, nothing diluted. Ruben Crisan: "The curries were rich and fragrant, the noodles cooked just right" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Lincoln Square classic in summer.

This place is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of cozy and vibrant. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food—wow. Every dish was packed with authentic flavor. The Pad Thai was perfectly balanced, the curry was rich and aromatic, and the Tom Yum soup had that bold, comforting kick that keeps you coming back for more. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients and care about quality. Portion sizes were generous, prices were reasonable, and everything came out quickly and beautifully presented. If you’re craving authentic Thai food, this spot is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!

The food was amazing, I had the pat thai and my husband had the pat see ew. Delicious and you could tell they use fresh ingredients. The Thai tea was perfection! 🙂 And Melissa was the nicest person to host, she was very nice and personal and I will definitely will be back. The most authentic Thai in the area.

My friend and I have been coming here since college. I always ask for extra limes. As a pad Thai lover. I have yet to find better pad thai. Thank you to the people here that make every experience so sweet.

Had a wonderful first time experience. Menu was just big enough to offer. A variety. Service was excellent. Definitely felt like a small family run business will be back.
