Our Top Pick
Muan Jai Thai Kitchen
River North-adjacent Thai with hot pot, cocktails, and polished plates.
Notable Picks
8.4
Muan Jai Thai Kitchen brings a more polished take on Thai to the Near North Side, with a menu that runs from classic stir-fries and noodles to showier dishes like Sweet Home Crab Curry and hot pot-style plates. Longer hours and a full bar make it as viable for late-night dinners as for pre-theater meals or casual dates.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pad Thai, Sweet Home Crab Curry, Pad See Ew
What makes it special: River North-adjacent Thai with hot pot, cocktails, and polished plates.
8.3
A compact Near North Side ramen spot built around mini-bowls and bold, comfort-forward broths. It lands best when you pick one signature bowl and add a single side, letting the broth and noodles stay the main event without over-ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tan Tan Men, Spicy Miso Ramen, Karaage Chicken and Rice
What makes it special: Mini-bowl ramen format that keeps the pacing fast and focused.
