Notable Picks
#1
Yes Thai
8.1
A BYOB neighborhood room with a clean, minimalist feel that plays surprisingly well for date nights and small groups. The menu’s best move is classic-and-craveable: lean into curry, pad Thai, and crispy starters rather than chasing every category.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pad Thai, Green curry, Crab rangoon
What makes it special: A BYOB Thai favorite with a polished, calm dining-room vibe.
8
A newer Ravenswood-area Thai dining room that leans modern and diet-friendly (strong vegetarian/vegan coverage) without losing the core curry-and-noodle comfort. It’s best when you anchor the table with one curry and one stir-fry rice/noodle, then stop before the order gets too broad. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Must-Try Dishes:
Thai basil fried rice, Pad see ew, Crab meat curry with wild betel leaves
What makes it special: Modern Thai with strong vegan/veg options and bold curries.
Worthy Picks
7.6
A Thai bistro concept with a pastry-forward identity that’s best treated as a focused, modern comfort stop rather than a huge menu tour. The move is to anchor with one noodle or curry, then add their puff/pastry lane for a sweeter, snackable finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Curry puff pastry, Pad Thai, Thai iced tea
What makes it special: Thai bistro with a pastry/puff signature lane built for modern cravings.
