"This continues to be the best traditional Thai restaurant in the entire Chicago region. I worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Northeastern Thailand for two and a half years before moving back here for graduate school in 1992. I was introduced to this restaurant by Thai students in my graduate program who assured me it was the best place in town . They were correct and I was elated to have discovered a restaurant that had mastered both traditional Central Thai dishes e.g. Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tom Yum, Curries, etc. and real Northeastern Thai cuisine as well . It also feels like a restaurant from Thailand in that it is a family run place, and you see the same people every time you come in year after year . For those unfamiliar with traditional Northeastern Thai dishes, I would recommend that you treat yourself and your friends to a special evening of exploration by sampling the delicious selections on their Northeastern Hot Spicy Homestyle Thai section of the menu. My favorites are: Larb made with finely chopped chicken mixed with fragrant herbs and spices, Nam Tok thinly sliced beef prepared with mint, cilantro, and spicy kii noo peppers, papaya salad which is prepared with green unripe papaya, garlic, peppers, etc., and Thai pork sausage and fried chicken. All of these dishes are to be ordered with Sticky Rice and many will come with spicy or tangy dipping sauces on the side. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly 30 years, and we 've been bringing our daughters for the past 20. We 've introduced numerous friends to Siam Noodle and Rice as well, all of whom have marveled at the flavors and the quality of the food. I could not more highly recommend this restaurant, and I hope you have the opportunity to experience their food."
