What a treat to find this place on a chilly night. We noticed this was a new restaurant and decided to give it a try and we were so glad we did. When we came in, we were greeted warmly by Tom. Atmosphere was super inviting, clean, and friendly.
You can bring your own bottle of wine or beer and they charge a Reasonable corking fee of two dollars. We had the pad Thai, the noodle soup, and a taro puff as an appetizer. For dessert, we had the warm coconut pudding. Prices were reasonable The food was the highest quality and we will definitely go again!

Will definitely be back for the perfectly fried chicken n rice dish and warm coconut pudding and mango sticky rice desserts. All fresh and delicious! Friends enjoyed the grilled chicken and rice and Tom Yum soup entrees on this rainy afternoon. Friendly, attentive service and reasonable prices. Great find. Give this new spot a try! Pics don’t do justice to the taste

It’s authentic Thai dishes for Kaw Man Kai (chicken with rice). The sauce is very good like eat in Thailand. I ordered Kai Tod Had Yai to go and the flavour is very good as well.
The staff is really nice and friendly. Would go back again for more food to try.
Really recommend to try this new place with authentic this dish.

The newest food offering on Clark Street. This place’s speciality is Thai Chicken rice cooked 3 ways. The inside of the restaurant is small but tastefully decorated. Lots of great items on the menu so I guess I’m going to have to go again to try their noodles which looked good too. To start we had the curry puffs and fried chicken. Both were delicious and crispy. The piece de resistance is most definitely the chicken rice. I tried the steamed version which came with a bowl of soup and your choice of dipping sauce. The rice was tasty and you could tell it was cooked with the stock of the chicken – so good (and you can order more as a side). The ginger garlic dipping sauce was slightly spicy but paired well with the chicken. If I think there is anything I would suggest is that $2 for a side of sriracha sauce is very steep especially when a lot of thai restaurants offer this condiment free when asked. Apart from that, I definitely recommend you give it a go. First week of opening and it was busy. Long may it last.

Friendly service, delicious food and colorful chicken wallpaper can all be found at Kookkook Khoa Man Kai. This dish (Khao man kai) is my ultimate comfort food dish. I seek it out everywhere I go and it’s sometimes hit or miss but they got a hit here. The broth, the rice and of course the chicken are all spot on. They also have a delicious sauce that brings it all together. There are different options of chicken to go with the rice too. In addition to steamed, there are grilled and fried options. All very tasty and you can’t go wrong with any choice. This was the first of what will be many future visits, I’m sure!

This is the best Thai food in the city. I was blown away by literally everything. You HAVE TO get the tom yum soup & warm pandan coconut pudding dessert. UNREAL! Say hi to Tung and say Alexa Eatin Good sent you if you stop by 🙂

The chicken itself was good – very tender – but I ordered the khao man kai tod (crispy fried chicken with rice) and the breading did not stick on. Chicken broth was good though.
The menu said it was $15 but the bill came out to be $24 and something before tip (so $27 total). Even with the $2 corkage fee per glass the math doesn’t add up. I should’ve asked for an itemized receipt – beware of a surcharge!

Finding a decent Hainanese chicken rice in the city had proven to be quite a difficult task for me. So naturally, when I learned a restaurant specializing in it just opened, I knew I had to check it out. I have to say this is the closest I’ve gotten to the Hainanese chicken rice I’ve had in Asia in Chicago. The rice was well-seasoned and incredibly fragrant: rich with chicken fat, ginger, and garlic. I could have easily eaten it by itself by the spoonful. The chicken was juicy and tender though I found it not as firm and flavorful as what I’m used to. The ginger sauce was flavorful and aromatic, supplementing the lack of flavors in the chicken. The accompanying broth was simple yet hearty and delicious. I could tell they were still smoothing out the service side but the kitchen’s already firing strong.

I need to know why this place isn’t packed every day and night, because the food is delicious!! I could probably eat the fragrant rice all on its own, but the steam chicken is delicious. I also really love getting the chicken curry puffs, which are perfectly spiced and crispy. The taro puffs are really good too.
I love everything this restaurant is doing, and I hope to see them busy because their food is so comforting, I always feel better after eating it.

First time visit! I ordered the Hiew Maak combo from here tonight for takeout. The food was so fresh and tasted incredible and the folks working there were incredibly kind and provided great service!! Will definitely be making it onto my regular takeout rotation 🙂
