I am so grateful we finally have a Thai place nearby that is amazingly delicious!
I demolished my tofu pad Thai plate hence the empty plate picture ๐ I dug in and completely forgot to take a before picture. I placed my order over the phone and it was quick and easy. I think my family has found our new food spot when we want to order out. Really hoping they stay a while so we can continue enjoying the food and excellent service.
We got the made to order Pad Thai and Pad See Ewe (both with chicken) which were fresh, cooked well, and had good flavor. We also tried the Thai Iced Tea which was very sweet. It may not be to everyone's taste, but I really liked it. When we picked up the food, the people were very friendly.
So excited to see a Thai restaurant open up in Oak Lawn! Everything on the menu looked really good so I asked the cook for their recommendation. I ended up getting a combo of pad mama noodles and butter chicken masala. Both were very delicious! The chicken was very moist and cooked to perfection and the flavors were fantastic. I love that the entrees are made to order so your food is hot and fresh!! I will definitely be coming back to try more of their food! Overall great addition to the Oak Lawn neighborhood!
I came today on their opening day with my family because I love Thai food and it was amazing! As a vegetarian, they have lots of mixed veggie dishes and noodle dishes that are also veggie friendly! There are about 4 small tables (2 chairs) inside if you want to eat inside but most people coming in while I was there were taking to go. Coke drink products are served. Overall, the vibes are great! Would recommend for great Thai food
I just hit up this new Thai restaurant for the 2nd time, itโs exciting to have a good Thai spot in the neighborhood. The Pad See Ewe noodles were absolutely delicious (as were the Pad Thai) - authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked - but also impossibly fast! Not spicy unless you request a little heat.
They have dishes ready to carry out too, it all looked fresh and delicious as well. Iโll probably try some appetizers next time.
A big thing for me was that the entire restaurant was spotlessly clean, and the gents up front were super-welcoming. Itโs clear that they take pride in both their food and their service. Highly recommend!
Couldn't wait more than a week to get the Pad Thai again! Tried it with tofu instead of chicken (I prefer it this way when made right). IT WAS DELICIOUS!! I have only eaten from here twice now but it's proving to have great consistency in terms of quality & service.
I did get the Thai iced tea this time and it was also perfect!
Best Thai food around! Make sure you come here if you like it spicy especially! Just tell boss lady in the back to not go easy on you when sheโs whipping up the noodles and sheโll clean out your sinuses with one bite! The yellow curry is more like Massaman Curry, so itโs sweeter than it is spicy. Definitely coming back to try what else they have!
Order: Wide noodles made extra spicy, ground beef & veggie mix, and yellow curry. Also got the Thai tea and dear lord, Iโve never had a better combo than that with the spicy noodles. 10/10. Leave boss lady a 5-star review!
Delicious crazy noodles with tofu. I liked the varied of veggies.
The customer service was spectacular!! From the time you walk in very warm and friendly reception. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. I even love that the food is cooked to order fresh right in front of you. Now the unfortunate part is the food is very bland and lacks flavor. Such great customer service, but I wont be able to trust the food anymore.

I absolutely love this place. Its a hidden gem in oak lawn. I love their food. We have looked for years for decent asian/thai food, and we finally found it. The beef and broccoli is so good! Actually real lean meat!! Will be a repeat customer! So good. It's a must try!! The fried rice is the best on the south side hands down. Thanks!
Small fast food thai place. The food was OK. I got the pad see eiw which was a tad too gummy for me. The shrimp soup was very citrusy but edible.
Great food, one more rangoon would be nice.
This is a place you will want to support!!! Delicious food โฆfast! Owners who genuinely care about customer service as it is present as soon as walk in with their signage, home made music about the restaurant and personal touch and cleanliness. Service was very friendly!

First time trying Thai food and honestly this place was amazing. The food tasted flavorful and was steaming hot. The customer service was awesome and the inside of the restaurant was clean. Definitely would recommend and come back again.

Have the 'Pad Mama noodles', they're really good I recommend them. I did get the double combo meal which are the two proteins in your noodles. Needless to say I really wanted this place to work out, instead of having another Mexican burrito joint which this is what this establishment was prior to this, yeah that's all we need is another Mexican restaurant around here. ๐คฆ๐คท But I really wanted this place to work out, now I've only had the double meal so I will be leaving more for their other meals as well even though there's very few here, this is place is very limited in their meals. But I did have the sesame chicken and boy I really wanted it to taste good but it tasted as if it was recooked from two nights before very chewy and it had some weird taste to it like it was old. The beef there is no taste to it and that left me really unhappy. Because there are so many other Chinese / Japanese restaurants around here and you really need to stand out and if you're going to be a Thai restaurant you really need to stand out. And BTW the combos are very small and I do mean very small I think I counted all of eight pieces of sesame chicken, and maybe five pieces of beef, I was very disappointed in that. The atmosphere is nice and the people there are very friendly very nice, but the meals have to be much more for that price I'm not paying over $15 for small extra small portions, I can go anywhere and get the lunch specials and they load up with the meal for a decent price. Like I said I will try the other items and come back to this but for now it's disappointing. Like I said the Pad Mama noodles are the best. Definitely get them here. I will try other items next time and I'll let you know. But for now extra small portions for over a $15 meal with taxes and nothing else included is just not enough, if you're hungry I suggest you get extra. And they only have veggie egg rolls. And like I said their meals are very limited. I'm hoping things get better or else I will find another restaurant closed at this corner again. ๐ฎโ๐จ I'm a resident of Oak Lawn. Thank you...
As of 12-24-24,
Revived statement. I'm trying to make this place a better place so I went back a second time to see if it was better, went back two '2' days later, I did let them know that their portions were small and for no charge they added more of the portion, all you have to do is ask nicely ๐๐ this time I had the Thai butter marsala, but don't forget here it's infused so the concept is you're supposed to take the bowl of whatever you order and mix it with either your rice or noodles or whatever to make it a much bigger bowl of food. But I will say that was very good the Thai butter marsala, I did enjoy that, and as usual and always I did get another huge order of Pad Mama noodles ๐ and again all you have to do is ask nicely and they'll give you more no charge, but ask nicely. Again there's nice people that work there, and very nice to talk to. I like the guys that work there they're really nice. And again they're making your experience the best they can. Also remember this is all made to order, nothing is precooked nothing's pre-made nothing sits around all day, everything here is made to order again "MADE TO ORDER"!!! SO THAT'S VERY GOOD KNOWING THAT YOU'RE GETTING FRESH MADE TO ORDER FOOD. And yes I did give the sesame seed chicken another chance, this time it seemed to be a little more fresh but still chewy, but again it did taste better this time around. I will go back again after Christmas and order something different. But so far I do like this place. Merry Christmas everyone. ๐จ๏ธ๐๐๐ โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐งโ๐๐จ๏ธ
Took a chance on this place last night and SO glad I did! Pad Thai was fantastic!! I never thought I'd find a Thai restaurant in the area that was actually good. Do not get pad Thai anywhere else- this place is THE SPOT to go.
Crab ragoon was a little disappointing; smaller than expected and really burnt at the top.
My friend picked up the food and got the sesame chicken with fried rice. Said it was delicious and that the staff was very friendly and welcoming! I had placed the order and had the same experience over the phone.
I can't wait to visit again for more Pad Thai and to try the Thai iced tea! Thank you so much for opening up a place in the area!!!
Everything we had was super good, happy to have Thai food in the area.
Hands down one of the best chicken Pad Thai's I've tried! It was hot, made fresh and simply delicious. Looking forward to trying some of the other dishes.
Food was delicious, the place was so clean and a comfortable atmosphere. The gentleman at the counter was so friendly and welcoming. Nice to have a Thai restaurant in that spot there on 111th. ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ Lovely place. Food was so fresh. ๐
The food was very fresh and very delicious. Really enjoyed the pad see ewe. Staff was beyond friendly. Excited to go back and try more things on the menu!
So good itโs fire and affordable. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Delicious food, the butter curry was amazing. Such a cute spot and reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.
Tried the small chicken panang with white rice & crab rangoons today for lunch! So tasty and full of flavor, very happy to have a different cusine available in oak lawn!
I like this Thai ice tea here, same as like I try when I was in Thai โ

Went on opening day since I saw this place while driving by. The Tom Yum soup was fantastic. The Thai butter masala was really good too, very creative. We also liked the pad kra Pao, but wanted a bit more spice in the dish. Service was fast and prices were good.
I also liked that their website had pictures and descriptions of all the food (I've had Thai food many times before, but everyone makes things slightly different). Definitely coming back in the future. Say hi to the owners, they were super friendly.
The food is horrible. I went today had the wide noodles, vegetables and chicken all tasted old. The curry chicken was okay. Won't be returning.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for quick, delicious Thai food. The food portion is big with reasonable price. I got red curry, fried rice and Pad Kra Pow (spicy basil stir-fry) they all are yummy. Will definitely be back again!
