We're visiting from out of town and some friends who are locals booked this dining experience.
It was the first time for us all.
Chef Patty greeted us, took our order, explained the menu and goal of the atmosphere and experience she is looking to recreate.
She absolutely delivered on her vision.
All of the wait staff were incredibly friendly.
There were four of us all doing the 5 course experience.
I ordered primarily from the plant based menu which was so thoughtfully prepared.
The plating and presentation was phenomenal.
Each dish built on the previous and was a gradual introduction of heat (spiciness) in a very methodical way.
All four of us left no morsel of food on our dishes and we left feeling satiated.
This is the best Thai dining experience I've ever had.
Even the music was soothing.
We were not rushed - the dishes came out with a cadence that allowed for us to enjoy each other's company and comment on the dishes, fresh ingredients and really elevate the evening.
Chef Patty has done something very special here and this is a hidden gem I highly encourage you to experience.

We hosted our daughter's 16th birthday party here.
We were a group of 12 people. Chef Patty went above and beyond in communicating with us before the event to make it special for my daughter and her friends. This is the best Thai restaurant in Chicago, hands down. We also were happy to get excellent service and food. Super nice people and restaurant.
Highly recommend it.

We stumbled upon this restaurant accidentally prior to a show at The Edge Theater.
I have to admit, we were pleasantly surprised and grateful. We told the staff that we were on a time crunch and they were overly accommodating! First off, it’s BYOB.
We didn’t know about that. Second, it’s a pre-fixes tasting menu only! Which actually is great for a peace of mind no choice person.
They have a meat and a vegetarian tasting menu option. Overall, the food was delicious.
Supposedly the chef won a contest for her soup, and I can see why.
The overall meal was so light, flavorful and healthy.
We ordered the chicken curry, which was oh my god good. I’m definitely going to keep this on my list for great Chicago recommendations for friends and visitors.
Definitely something a little unique, but those are the best gems to find.
