Logistics & Planning
Parking: Metered street parking nearby; can be tight on game nights and weekends. Nearby garages are the safest bet if arriving after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual—jeans are fine, but lean polished if you’re coming for dinner or drinks.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy to talk, but the room gets buzzy during peak dinner hours.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, longer on Cubs game nights
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple curries, noodle dishes, and soups can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited but doable—ask about vegetable-based curries and noodle dishes without fish sauce.
Gluten-free options: Some options available—rice-based dishes and curries work best; confirm sauces with the server.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—lively enough to feel fun but still comfortable for conversation, especially earlier in the evening.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or early dinners; weekends and game nights are tougher without planning ahead.
Is it kid-friendly? Early dinners work well for families, though the bar-forward vibe makes it better suited for adults later at night.
Best For
Better for: Group-friendly Thai meals with cocktails and a sit-down, social atmosphere.
Skip if: You’re looking for ultra-authentic regional Thai cooking or a quiet, low-key dinner.
