Tac Quick

The specials are almost always a good bet, the kai tod (fried chicken ) is always great, and tonight we tried the crispy fried pork with basil for the first time and thought it was pretty great too.

Everything is good, the "secret" menu is now public for your ease of ordering the more authentic dishes . Many are quite spicy . Bring a refreshing wine or beer (BYOB ) to go with that tasty, spicy food .

Tod Mun Pla, a fried ground fish and chili paste mixture, comes with a killer dipping sauce , which manages to be tart , funky, and spicy . Of course, just about every other dish is worth ordering too.

The Tom Yum soup on the "secret menu " with noodles , ground pork , roast pork , and fried dumpling is my fixation. I haven't been able to order anything else since... Maybe for the last 6 trips.

Blackboard Eats says "fav is the kuay teaw reua (or “boat noodles”). The includes all major food groups: brisket , beef balls , pork skins , Chinese broccoli , bean sprouts , and thin rice vermicelli ."

Request the second menu at this BYOB , and don’t miss nam nuang (rice-paper rolls with pork meatballs ), papaya salad with blue crab , and yum woon sen talay (glass noodles with seafood and lime ): Read more

This eatery is known for the authentic dishes on its "secret" Thai menu, but the regular menu features plenty of pan-fried noodle dishes and curry bowls that can be made with tofu instead of meat. Read more

Try ground chicken with basil and preserved eggs . Also try the specials board; promising rotations have included lettuce wrap–ready deep-fried mackerel with apples , cucumbers , fish sauce and chiles. Read more

If you want boat noodle , there's another place much better and the owner is super nice! A little further north but worth the trip! Jinthaicuisine.com

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. Read more

Best Thai place in Chicago, hands down. My favorite dish is their crispy ong choi salad . Their spicy is spicy , not tone down spicy :P

Michelin star recommended. Great for a quick dinner !!! Ask for the secret menu , you can't go wrong. Everything was delicious! ????????

Those in the know order from the spicier, more authentic Thai menu , but either way this is hands-down one of our fave Thai spots in Chicago. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

No longer BYOB at new location but food is as good as always! New convenient take-out window too

Really authentic , really delicious Thai. BYOB . Best appetizer is the fermented rice sausage thingy.

Very nice surprise in this neighborhood . Great food, atmosphere, and reasonably priced.

This place is so great! The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was really cool and casual . I'd come here again in a minute

A neighborhood favorite known for its reliable and comforting Thai food . Ask for the secret Thai menu and you'll be greeted with a whole other world outside Pad Thai .

Try the Moo Ping , Grilled Squid , Green Curry , and the Pad Nam Prik Paow. Take it from a Tac Quick vet, everything is good but the less mainstream the better your food will be.

The basic menu appeases the masses that flood the simple, minimalist room of this top-notch Thai joint. Read more

Crisp pork with basil (on the secret menu ) is incredible. So is the beef jerky app.

Lettuce wraps , cashew entree, BYOB !!

Really tasty Thai food . Get anything with pork and egg .

Ask for the secret menu . You'll feel cool and you won't have any idea what you're ordering. ALWAYS get the crab rangoon .

Didn't honor the Check-in Special. Not that I really needed it. Love the pad thai and chicken satay !

Curry sauce has fish , it's not vegetarian . Cashew dish was tasty.

Great Thai food . Order from their authentic Thai menu . Could get loud at busy hours. Specials are usually good.

The "Secret Menu " is the bomb! The Kuay Teaw Tom Yum Muu Sab has a broth that will kick your arse!

Food is good. Too bad I am not impress with their service. I showed them the free crab Rangoon to the girl I picked up my food with. She said she doesn't have that special not sure who put it in..

The panang curry is unreal! Best ever

Try the Lard Nar "Empire".

Yes they don't honor the check-im special and tbh who is going to pay them $5 more for eggs rolls and you only get two im stick with me order ok now.. Yes attitudes r horrible this my 1st nd last here

Everything is good!

Which is fine by me til she gave me an attitude face and toward it. Watch out for their attitude guys. From liked this place, I went to I don't think I want to come back..

Curtis Duffy, chef of Grace, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Neua dad deaw. Read more

Crispy pork is the way to my heart!

Moo Ping is delicious!

Ask for the Thai menu (the one they don't usually give you) for extra special food choices.

Pork neck : 4.75/5, papaya salad 3.75/5

Ask for the secret menu .

The moo ping is very good ;)

Special is only if you purchase $15 or more

Lie about the check in special. They said the order has to be $15 for the free egg roll even though it says nothing about price, just to show you checked in. Sucks cause I like the food.

Not a fan, don't go!!! Took off three veggies , and added broccoli to a dish and they then charged me for it, also did a check in and they wouldn't honor the free crab Rangoon bc I didn't spend 20$

So good! Try the Thai food !

Good food. Good prices. Terrible service.

Hainanese chicken Thai style !!!

Their massaman curry is the absolute best.

The Tom Kha soup is excellent!
