Every rumor you’ve ever heard about this casual North Side BYO is true: This is some of the freshest, most flavorful Thai food in the city. The regular menu is a safe bet. But step out of your comfort zone and request the Thai-translated menu instead. The out-of-the-ordinary dishes may be intimidating at first, but using your server as your guide, take a chance on one (or several)—you’ll be glad you did.
