Once of the better Thai restaurants on “Thai Row” in Hyde Park (there are about 4-5 Thai restaurants in a two block span). The food here is full of flavor. The curries are spicy and the Pad Thai is solid. It is a little on the greasy side. I highly recommend the “Original Hot Number 1”. Though it has a stupid name, it is very spicy and full of flavor. The interior is pretty bare and small. The staff is friendly. In fact, during one brutally cold Chicago winter day, the manager took my order for carry out and insisted I have some hot tea before I left. It was so thoughtful and kind, and probably the reason I come here over and over again.
