I used to think this restaurant looked cute, cozy, and a possible date place. But no matter how inviting it may appear, the food will be enough to turn off your appetite. I've tried it twice, both take out and sit down, and both times the noodles were greasy and had an oily-fried flavor. The meat and vegetables were practically nonexistent.
There are too many good and great Thai places in Chicago to waste your money here.

At first, I was not overly impressed. We had to wait to be seated though we had reservations, and our table was placed awkwardly against a column, making the table jut out into the general traffic path. But our waiter, though obviously Friday-night busy, took his time explaining the specials, offered suggestions and listened carefully to our orders. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and were huge; we ate them with creamy mashed potatoes, garlic spinach and sauteed mushrooms.
Of course, as we had to "save room" for dessert, we had leftovers, which inevitably made a great breakfast. The dessert was delicious and tasted fresh (Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake). We also enjoyed a 10-year Tawny Port; there were many after dinner drinks to choose from.
The music seemed to be a southern/Cajun/Frank Sinatra blend and cigar-smoking appeared popular. The bathrooms were very clean (and the restaurant in general). Despite the touristy area and mild-chain feel, I would definitely visit again and probably take my parents who would appreciate the simple, steak-focused menu.
