Andy's Thai Kitchen

I think Andy's has the best Thai food in Chicago. It's a traditional Thai menu, with a few superlative chef's specials like wild boar red curry and spicy udon special pad Thai. For appetizers, we usually go for the grilled meatballs (pork, fish, shrimp and beef), the grilled squid in spicy Thai chili sauce, tod mun (fish cakes),or the ever-reliable chicken satay. For entrees, the curries are all excellent, as are basil fried rice, basil ground chicken, pad pred catfish, pad Thai, or any of the other noodle dishes. The restaurant is decorated in a sleek, spartan manner, but it's not by any means a hole-in-the-wall Thai place. Service is always pleasant and responsive. Highly recommended.

Ok this place has totally gone down hill and it's a bummer as it was our go to Thai restaurant for many years. Our past 2 meals there have been awful. Flavorless and just not good. But it gets worse. Tonight we dined in and won't return; the menu's were dirty- with food and grease stains all over them. They served my soup in a chipped bowl. Our pad see ew noodles were congealed and had zero flavor. The chicken in the noodle dish was chewy and not edible. Oh boy I need a new go to as I won't be returning. Two stars instead of one as the service is friendly.

I have been coming to Andy's Thai kitchen for many many years and I've always loved it. Tonight I ordered the chicken satay, which was amazing, but I also got the Kao soy and it was so salty that I could not eat it at all. I don't know if you have a new chef or something, but I was very disappointed.

Reminder: cash only!I met up with friends for lunch and ordered the green curry with chicken. Good portion size and very flavorful. Definitely want to come back and try other dishes!Staff is friendly and I like how this place is also BYOB.

Andy's has potential - their menu has some unique options that other places don't. Their pad ped catfish curry was not what I would call crispy, but it was tasty, had so much catfish I couldn't finish it, and had plenty of delicious little edible Thai peppercorns to make the flavor more interesting! I would have liked to see more spices in the curry - it was pretty coconut-milk forward - and (I can't believe I'm saying this, I never finish my rice anywhere) more rice. There is a lot of curry and not enough rice to soak it up. Finally, it's listed as spicy and I guess by Midwestern standards it is... but not spicy like I'd expect from a Thai place.

Adding this to the list of favorite restaurants to come back to. Amazing service with the waitress being very attentive to us constantly filling waters and making sure we were doing good.Inside is very clean and tidy with a lot of ornate decorations. Food is amazing! Best curry I have ever had.Just know they are cash only, but I dont mind due to their prices not being that bad.Hoping to come back soon!

ATK's food is good. I've had it in the past, and I have been very happy with it.Today, I happened to be in the area, and I decided to go in to order take-out. I was greeted with a sign on the door telling me that they only accept cash, but if i used their QR code to place an online order, I could use a credit card. I did not see a cash station in the area, but it seemed easy enough to use their ordering app.What followed was twenty minutes of total frustration. First of all, their app allows annoying pop-ups that try to direct you to an erroneous website that asks for your credit card number (I resisted that trick). When I was finally able to successfully set up an account, whenever I tried to finalize my order, it would kick me out for one reason or another. The app would send me back to my order or it would tell me that I had input an invalid credit card number. I tried two credit cards...and the app said that they were both invalid. And in both cases, I absolutely put in the correct information, and tried multiple times for each card. I had to go through all of this so that they could add $0.94 for using my credit card. I have no problem paying extra to use a credit card...my problem was using their terrible phone app. After 20-plus minutes of getting nowhere with my order, I gave up.I went into the restaurant to let them know that their phone app was not working, and the woman at the counter just murmured "I'm sorry." They didn't seem to care beyond that. It was 3:00pm, and the restaurant was empty, so you think that they would be interested in attracting customers, not infuriating them. I know that it's tough times for restaurants right now, and I understand when extra charges are necessary, but why not let me use a credit card in the restaurant and just charge me the extra percentage? Instead, they completely frustrated me with a flawed ordering phone app. There are too many restaurants that want my business, and have online ordering apps that work. I doubt that I will waste my time visiting ATK ever again.

My co-workers and I were craving some Thai food so we ordered for pick up at Andy's Thai Kitchen for some Pad See Ew and calamari! I ordered a Pad See Ew with Tofu and I really loved how well balanced the flavors were! Some Thai restaurants tend to make the pad see ew too sweet and watery but they made it perfectly at Andy's! They also added shredded carrots and and colorful vegetables to make it look so delicious and beautiful. The crispy calamari was pretty good! I asked for lemon on the side because it didn't come with it but they only had lime so make sure to ask for one if you like to put lime on your calamari! I only walked in to pick up but the interior was very spacious and clean! I can tell how properly they maintain their restaurant by how bright and welcoming it feels. I noticed that there were lots of seating for so it's perfect for people who are thinking about coming in groups. The service was great! I only went in to pick up but they attended to me very quickly and was very friendly and accommodating! Overall, really like this place and will be coming back (hopefully for dine in next time)Tip: if you're doing a pick up order make sure to ask for utensils if you need it! Utensils didn't come automatically with my order.

Got the Kao Soy spicy. Such a good balance of sweet and spicy. There was a strong peanut flavor and the broth kept me spooning for more. Only bad things were lack of napkins/none before I noticed stains on my shorts and some kind of acidic (probably the lime) took away from the dish. CASH ONLY

Popped in one evening after work. The restaurant usually looked empty around 5:30, but I was looking in one part of the restaurant. The end I was not seeing is where all of the diners sit while leaving another section of the restaurant empty.I ordered larb kai. The ground chicken was spicy like I love it, although wetter than the way I had it in Thailand. I like the sauce, but it wilted the lettuce that was on the bottom. The khao soi goong was also a hit. I love this curry soup with shrimp, noodles, pickled mustard greens, and shallots. Both larb khai and khao soi goong were substantial in terms of portions.This is a cash only restaurant. There is an ATM inside the restaurant. Get cash in advance, though, because there is a charge for using the ATM on the premises if you bank elsewhere. There seems to be a tendency to seat diners close, so be warned if you expect to be spaced out. Other than that, it's good eating.
