Where is the Best Takeout in Chicago, Illinois?
To me, there are very few places in Chicago that offer “good” Thai cuisine. Some places I’ve seen offer you a box of noodles or rice, throw in some meat and vegetables and sauce (along with a almost a half a cup of oil), and them calling it Thai food. It’s NOT the case with this place. I’ve been going here since 98 when I was taking class from the “Martial Arts” school down the street and the “grandmaster” took us all to lunch as part of our “training” (notice the ” ” around the words; I don’t consider them a “Martial Arts school” anymore, but that’s another review). Anyway, since then I’ve always considered this place to be the standard for all Thai restaurants to follow. They just recently went through some remodeling and now the place looks better than before with new tabels and decor. The food though is still the same as I had it almost 9 years ago. Everything is good here, but I usually go for my favorites (chicken satay, spring roll, Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, and/or beef Pad
If this is what they call good barbeque, then they should close up shop. I drove up here from the southside past a lot of good places to taste what was supposed to be good. Nothing was good. Hot links were terrible and the tips tasted like they were boiled then baked. The sauce has nothing to it. This is not what I expected after seeing Hecky’s make the list of the best. It’s more like the 10 worst. We have a lot better in Chicago.Cons – nothing good about this place
I love the Art of Pizza because it is one of the most convenient pizza places around. I hate waiting for my chicago style pizza, but the Art of Pizza always has it ready. In addition, they have pan and thin crust. All types of pizza are the same price so for the best value get the Chicago Style. The restaurant is also pretty big inside and nice. I recommend walking there though as there is little area to park. As far as them claiming the #1 chicago style pizza? I disagree because I think there are several better. But none that have a pizza this good ready all of the time.
