Silom 12 — solid, no-fuss thai in Bucktown. Cocktails here aren't an afterthought. "The meat was cooks excellent nice char the greens were so fresh" — Thedarkdade

Mediocre and incredibly overpriced food. How dare you charge $5 for this convenience store grade onigiri.
Super nice staff, unfortunately the pad Thai shrimp I ordered was extremely bland and the shrimp seemed almost like plastic.
I'm disappointed and annoyed. I ordered vegetarian pad thai, pad siew with tofu, and their summer wraps.

“My favorite is Pad Thai, it's very hard to find good Thai”
“Delicious Thai food with excellent service.”
Delicious Thai food with excellent service. We ordered a soup, a salad and a curry between us and it was the perfect amount. We ordered the vegetable Penang curry and loved that it wasn’t just bell peppers as happens sometimes in other places! There was a good variety of vegetables. Our server was very attentive throughout. We also loved the cocktail menu. This is a wonderful Bucktown option!

“Great high-quality Thai spot for a last minute walk-in.”
Great high-quality Thai spot for a last minute walk-in! The fried chicken fried rice and the crispy coconut shrimp were our favorites. I’m glad we gave this spot a second chance, as the service was much quicker at dinner than our previous lunch experience.

“The server, Chris, was very respectful and attentive.”
The server, Chris, was very respectful and attentive. The food was the best part. This restaurant has never disappointed me once! And I know that every time I come back, it will only get better. My family loves it! The food is exquisite, so if you are in Chicago and have not had Thai food just yet, then Silom 12 has got to be on your list! If there is anything, I wish the space was larger. Other than that, it is a must visit. Highly recommend!!

“We had such an amazing experience.”
We had such an amazing experience. The waiter was very kind and passionate about the food. We had the Penang Curry, Spicy Lime Leaf noodle, and papaya salad. The papacy salad (not pictured) tasted just like the one we had in Thailand- highly recommend! Also BYOB so we were able to pair it with one of our favorite Sauvignon Blancs!

“I stopped in here for dinner after a hankering for thai food and was not disappointed.”
I stopped in here for dinner after a hankering for thai food and was not disappointed. The kao soi dish caught my eye after the menu called it a north Thailand favorite, so I decided to try something new. I am very glad I did. This thing rivaled the best thai dishes I have had. It was kind of like a mixture of ramen and panang curry and delicious to the last drop. I will be returning to get this again.

“Would definitely recommend.”
Would definitely recommend! The restaurant has a nice aesthetic! Service is great and the food is also great! The owner let us use the space for our small wedding gathering and the service was outstanding couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate! The food is delicious like mentioned previously, all of our guests enjoyed and were very satisfied! A must place to visit!!!
