I'm not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars?! It was great! My mom actually suggested to go here and sometimes she's not the greatest at picking out places but she wanted to try it, so we did.
It's on one of the side streets of South Side which, I think, offers better parking. Or at least parking where you don't have to walk far. The inside is really cute and seemed pretty clean. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiling faces and that's something I find makes the dining experience a lot better. All of their employees were really friendly and attentive. Our drinks were always full and they checked on us the right amount of times.
We ordered the chef recommended Thai Spice Sausages. It was excellent. Definitely really spicy but very tasty. I would've gotten two ordered had I known how tasty it was! Probably my favorite thing we had. However, if you can't take spicy, do not order this dish.
My mom ordered the Basil Eggplant dish that came with sticky rice and I ordered the chef's recommended Nam Tok which was grilled short rib chuck with shallots, cilantro, mint and roasted rice. Both dishes were full of flavor. You could taste every single spice on my dish. I loved the roasted rice, as well. It went so well with the sauce for mine and was different than your normal sticky rice. And whatever sauce was in the eggplant dish was delicious!
The only "negative" thing I could say is that I wish there was more on my plate. They covered the rest of my plate with some kind of salad greens that I didn't even eat. But the eggplant dish was a big portion. We also brought take home for my dad and he loved it, which is a hard palette to please.
I would definitely go here again!
