Logistics & Planning
Parking: No dedicated lot — metered street parking nearby plus several paid River North garages; quickest pickup is curbside or short-term meter stops.
Dress code: Casual — delivery and takeout–focused; come as you are for quick pickup.
Noise level: Low — primarily a takeout counter inside a shared space, minimal dine-in atmosphere.
Weekend wait: Usually no in-person wait; delivery can stretch to 35–50 minutes during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait for pickup; 20–30 minutes for most delivery orders.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — many noodle, curry, and fried rice dishes can be made vegetarian on request.
Vegan options: Limited but workable — several dishes can be customized without egg or fish sauce; confirm when ordering.
Gluten-free options: Partial accommodation — some curries and rice dishes can be prepared without soy sauce, but no dedicated gluten-free kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a date — it’s a delivery-first operation with limited ambiance; better suited for takeout nights in.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but seating is limited and not the focus — expect counter pickup and minimal dine-in; most guests order ahead for takeout or delivery.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for takeout — mild noodle and fried rice dishes travel well for families, but there are no high chairs or kid-specific amenities on-site.
Best For
Better for: Consistent, travel-friendly Thai classics with generous portions and reliable delivery performance.
Skip if: You want a full-service Thai dining room, cocktails, or a linger-worthy sit-down experience.
