Big fan of Asian Grille. I have lived within one block of them for three years now and visit frequently. Whenever friends ask what we can get to eat, I always ask if they have tasted or know what good Thai food is. If they are game to try it out I have never heard a negative word from any of the dozen plus people I have introduced to this restaurant.
Not a big fan of shrimp so I avoid the Pad Thai, but love the spice, fresh veggies, and delicious noodles and chicken in the drunken noodle dish. Yes, it is $9, but usually you will get two meals out of it and both will be delicious even when reheated.
They even allow you to bring in your own alcoholic beverages to drink at the table! Goes great with wine.
One of the near west sides best kept secrets.
