“ The owner is very sweet! Food is delicious! Service is great! Would definitely recommend. Our favorite dishes are the Thai basil fried rice, chicken pad see ew, and rolled fried shrimp appetizer. Thai iced tea is great too! ”
“ Absolutely loved it! Great food and friendly people. The food is actually pretty unique. Haven't had this kind of Thai food before. Feels like it's more homemade than mass produced restaurant food. ”
“ Back in Chicago to visit my sister & help her move - my reward, hanging out with her & eating dinner at Anna's Thai Kitchen! WIN-WIN in my opinion. I love that Anna's is BYOB & there is a little liquor store right next door. A beautiful rosé or cold lager goes so well with spicy Thai food. We started with Betel Herb Wraps: the traditional royal snack - a bite of the perfect combination of roasted coconut flake with Thai herbs, ginger, shallot, roasted peanut, fresh Thai bird chili wrapped around with wild Betel leaves. I am OBSESSED with this appetizer & so is my sister - we get two orders so we don't have to share! We followed this up with fried oysters which were rich, creamy, umami with a delightful slightly spicy sauce. The meat course featured Kao Soi (beef curry noodles) with the magical fried noodles that hold up the chopsticks! Keo Soi can be made with chicken or veggie. It was a good amount of beef in a spicy red curry with two types of noodles - soft wider noodles in the soup & the aforementioned magical fried noodles. The latter are deep fried to hold up the chopsticks in the presentation & the server literally runs the dish to your table because the steam softens the noodles so they dramatically collapse into the soup as it is placed on your table. The combo of everything is delicious! We finished the meal with a whole fried ocean perch with a delightful spicy apple salad & rice. The meat of the fish was so white & the skin/fins were like fish potato chips. We ate every single part of the fish (except the bones). The apple salad was refreshing with a hint of a spicy to cut through the fry of the fish. Outstanding! I look forward to my next Chicago visit to see my sister & once again enjoy the fabulous cooking of Chef Anna at her beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM ”
“ Came by on a weekend for a late lunch. Anna's is super well located right under the brown line stop. The area is really busy although Anna's had no wait at all when we came! The menu is extensive and has some northern Thai specialties like Kao Soi. We ordered a few curries and a couple of appetizers. Their strong point were definitely the curries which were packed with flavor. They used fried tofu in their vegetarian dishes which really adds a nice texture change. The Pad Thai was solid and not too sweet. The soups were less differentiated. The spicy dishes are very spicy! Service was extremely attentive and very nice. Only complaint was the restaurant is very pricey ($20+ per dish which is steeper than places downtown). ”
“ Recently tried for the first time for pick up and loved it! Will be brining friends to try more soon! Keep in mind, their highest level of spicy is very hot! I love seeing halal restaurants around Chicago that branches into different cuisine. It tasted like typical Thai food, impressed with that. Both the papaya salad and basil chicken dish tasted flavorful. The mango sticky rice was SOO good! I was a little hesitant about the mango being sour since it's early in the season but it was so good and the rice had such a yummy cream with it! Excited to come back for more. ”
