Oliang

Ordered pickup because we live 3 blocks away. We were a bit early, but everything was ready, packed well, hot/ fresh, and really good. I'll definitively order again. Although I only got a peek inside, it looked nice, and the staff was very kind to my little girls.

A charming Thai restaurant with great flavors and well decorated interior. Every dish we ordered was well flavored and beautifully plated - we particularly enjoyed the Khao Soi Chicken and Pad Kee Mao. We also loved the baked taro custard (Khanom Mor Gang), a rich and decadent desert with a side of sweet sticky rice.One minor note is that the menu primarily features staple Thai dishes, and I would have appreciated a bit more variety with less common Thai cuisine options. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable dining experience overall

I immediately liked the atmosphere, especially the soothing music and warm welcome from the pretty hostess. It's a perfect place for a quiet first date, with plenty of large and spacious tables for two people. I ordered Thai Iced tea, which is sweet and refreshing. I started with Shumai, fried with a generous amount of dumplings, 8 or 9 pieces good enough for two. For my main course, I ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Curry; it was delicious, especially the silky smooth sauce. Although they give you plenty of Shrimp, I thought they were a bit "rubbery." The sauce was tasty with tomatoes, chunks of pineapple, and coconut Milk. I will go back again, but I would order something different.

I was lucky enough to find street parking on the very busy street of Ashland. So that's a win. Oliang is pretty new and it's cute inside. We came around 1:30 pm for a late lunch, and there was only one other customer in the whole restaurant. The server didn't give us her name, but she was friendly. However, she never came back to check on us after dropping off the food. I even had to wave her down for the check. As for the food, we ordered a beef pad see ew, tofu pad Thai, and a Thai chicken fried rice. The fried rice was the best amongst the three dishes. Both the pad Thai and pad see ew were way too salty. I had to take a sip of water with almost every bite of food. The prices were reasonable, and portions were decent. So I just wished the food was better. Overall, my experience was a meh.

A new thai restaurant in the park west(?) area! Free parking is available right in front but Ashland is a busy street so it might be difficult. They were still working on the decorations on the place, but the inside is basically done and it is so cute! Loved it.The waitress was very attentive, friendly and helpful with the menu items.Appetizer Combo: a little bit of everything! Was surprised to see fried spring rolls here as I do not see it often. A personal favorite of mine. The crab ra goons were nice. Sauce was just right. Would recommend for a group! 7.9/10Noodle: I forget the name of the dish but it was great. The crispy noodles on top is a nice texture mix up and they have noodles at the bottom soaking up all the flavor of the soup. Acidity of the lime brings it all together. Came with a decent amount of chicken as well. I did get a taste of the pad thai which was also good, but glad I picked this to mix up from the usual. 8.1/10

Great spot for Thai food in a great location. Easy street parking. Great service. Lovely little inside. Excellent food. Definitely recommend each of the dishes. Crispy Roll is probably the best I have ever had and the Pad Kee Mao was excellent. Will be back for this awesome spot all around.

Overall Thoughts: This is a relatively new Thai spot in Lincoln Park with cute, green, aesthetic vibes. The space is fairly small, with 8 tables total that seat 2-4 people. I came on a Thursday night for dinner and it wasn't too crowded. The menu offers standard Thai fare with all the staples from noodles to curries to stir-fried entrees.I ordered the Khao Soi Chicken, which tasted good, but wasn't that traditional in its ingredient profile. The broth and egg noodles were both deliciously creamy with a strong curry taste, and had a mild spicy flare. However, I wish they used the traditional chicken drumstick instead of chicken breast, which was a bit dry and not as flavorful. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The prices are pretty standard for the area-- not unreasonably high, but not low either. Overall, it's a spot that I'd be glad to come back to whether by myself or with a small number of people.-- Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5Food: 4.3/5Ambience: 4.9/5Service: 4.9/5Overall Value: 4.4/5

Beautiful interior, delicious food, attentive staff, and fast service. We dined in on a Sunday afternoon and very much enjoyed our experience. We started with the Finger Combo. I tried the crab rangoon and crispy rolls which I thoroughly enjoyed. The only note I have is that it comes with a tiny cup of sweet and sour sauce. The dish could definitely use a bigger serving of sauce to complement all the yummy fried finger foods! The pineapple shrimp curry was perfectly sweet and creamy with a hearty helping of rice. My mom said the Pad Si Ew was tasty, loved the presentation as well. My boyfriend ordered the Basil Fried Rice which packed a spicy kick but was super flavorful. We are excited to have a new Thai place in our repertoire!

This little cafe in Lincoln Park is actually a great Thai restaurant. oliang_chicago sever staples like Pad Thai, curries and special Khao Soi Clean restaurant with plants & service is awesome.Here are some of dishes we like:- Special Finger Combo- Spicy Beef Salad - Khao Soi Chicken (MUST TRY)- Panang Curry - Pineapple Shrimp Fried Rice - Thai Ice Tea- Nom Chompoo

I've been to Oliang twice and both times the food was top notch -- the best Thai in Chicago and the only one that compares to the Thai my fiancée and I have had in California.The first time we shared a Khai Soi, Krapow Kai, and Mango Sticky Rice. All three were delicious, the Khao Soi and Mango Sticky Rice were standouts (my fiancée thought it was the best mango sticky rice of all Thai places she's ever had).The second time we shared Pad See Ew, Panang Curry, and the Coconut Milk dessert. Again all three were delicious, with the Pad See Ew being one of the best versions we've both ever had of the dish.Besides the food, the decor is warm and inviting, and everything is extremely clean. Perfect date night spot.Highly recommend and plan on going back more times to try each menu item.
