"Title: "A Thai Gastronomic Journey to Remember at Silom 12 "From the moment I stepped into Silom 12, nestled in the heart of Bucktown, Chicago, I knew I was in for an exquisite culinary experience. The restaurant 's ambiance beckoned me with its warm and welcoming allure, and the food, oh the food, exceeded every expectation.Our culinary adventure began with an absolutely divine Crab Rangoon. The first thing to note was its presentation I had never seen a Crab Rangoon wrapped quite like this. Folded delicately like a bow tie, it was as pleasing to the eye as it was to the palate. The balance between the crisp fried exterior and the luscious mix of crab meat and cream cheese within was spot on. The added crunch of celery and the tangy punch of sweet chili sauce elevated it to a level of perfection I hadn 't experienced before. This unique spin on Crab Rangoon was hands down the best I 've ever had.Next up was the Steamed Mussels, steamed to perfection in a spicy basil lemongrass broth. The mussels were plump and tender, their subtle briny flavor intermingling wonderfully with the fragrant, spicy broth. The depth and complexity of flavors were simply mind blowing.The culinary journey continued with the Tom Ka soup with chicken. Its creamy richness, punctuated by the tartness of lime and the heat from chili, was both comforting and invigorating. The chicken was tender and beautifully infused with the flavors of the soup. It was, without a doubt, a bowl of soul satisfying goodness.The grand finale was the Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu. Our server recommended this combination, and he couldn 't have been more correct. The rice was perfectly cooked, each grain distinct and carrying the flavors of the various ingredients. The sweetness of the pineapple offered a beautiful contrast to the savory fried rice, while also lending a refreshing crunch. The tofu was a stellar addition, its delicate flavor and texture forming a lovely counterpoint to the overall richness of the dish. I never knew fried rice could taste this good.In conclusion, my dining experience at Silom 12 was nothing short of phenomenal. From the quality of the ingredients to the mastery of flavors, it was clear that every dish was crafted with care and love. If you 're in Chicago and craving for authentic Thai cuisine, Silom 12 is a must visit destination. Five stars all the way"

"I 've been here twice with another person, once when it was crowded and another time when we were the only ones there. They have three specials this month (which were the same as last month 's... , and I tried all three. (Pictures are posted Service: I 've never seen the waiters talk that much. However, they 're always dressed nicely and professional in how they take orders and bring food out/away. They refill water regularly. Food speed: both times I 've gone, I thought the food took longer than it should have to come out. It seems that this is a popular place to order takeout, which would explain the delays. However, they may be understaffed in their kitchen. Who knows. Food price: I think even for Seattle and the quality of the food, this place is kind of expensive. Their main dishes are $12+ but the portions aren 't very big. They are filling though, especially if you get rice on the side (which is $2 for a bowl . Lunch/early dinner for 2 cost $40 for two main dishes, rice, and tea. They do have a slight lunch discount. However, their lunch times aren 't advertised and dinner starts as early as 3 PM. Food quality: the presentation and somewhat small sizes of dishes for the price really does make you think this is 'fine dining ' as they advertise. The tastiness of the food is probably the strongest point at this place. I don 't eat much Thai food, but I haven 't had anything I didn 't like here. It 's all tasty. Ambience: lighting is warm but not super bright and there are a lot of window seats. There is no outdoor seating. The interior decorations are tasteful and rather sparse, but they do have a small side room for parties, I 'm guessing, and a centerpiece Thai deity(? statue. It 's a cool place. Food rec: pad prik king is the best if you like Szechuan peppercorn (which is definitely present in the dish but not overpowering . The avocado curry and som thai gai-yang are also very good!"

"I love Thai Winchester! My husband and I visit Thai Winchester nearly every week. 1. The restaurant is clean and cozy, and the servers are kind and helpful. 2. If you go for lunch on a week day, you get a fried veggie crispy roll and a small side salad. I don't think the dressing on the salad is vegan (it looks cream-based), though, but I'm not sure. (I've been there for lunch on a week day only once 3. As far as appetizers go, I've had the fried tofu (it's nothing special it's exactly what it says: fried tofu), summer rolls (good if you love basil and my go-to appetizer, veggie crispy rolls. The rolls are the small, super crispy kind. I love them! 4. I've had most of the vegetarian entrees: LOVE: -cashew nuts LIKE: -kra pow -stir-fried ginger -red curry -green curry -panang curry -pad thai (good, but only if you like a very sweet pad thai) -thai fried rice (I've had this twice. It was amazingly flavorful the first time, but bland the second time) DISLIKE: -pad phed pha (this is a dish with peppercorns, and the peppercorns really take over. Order only if you LOVE peppercorns, because that's all you'll be able to taste) -massaman curry (but that could just be because I'm not into yellow curry I've never had this dish anywhere else This is my favorite restaurant in Winchester, and if you haven't already, I encourage you to visit! NOTE: We've also visited Thai Winchester II (only once), and we did not enjoy it enough to return. The restaurant is smaller and the food wasn't as good. I'd rather make the short drive to the walking mall rather than visit Thai Win II again. It may have just been a bad day for them, though."
