In-On Thai
If you've been to one of Chicago's many fine Thai restaurants, you'll notice that In-On Thai is different. All of the sauces and curries here are made from scratch, and it's clear from dishes like the kean-pa and rich panang that whoever makes them knows what they're doing. The crispy fish jungle salad has a great sauce that's just on the verge of being too tart, but the mango on top helps balance it out with some sweetness. And then there's that fantastic pad see ew. It has perfectly chewy noodles with just the right amount of char and a not-too-sweet sauce.
One thing to keep in mind is that In-On Thai isn’t the most relaxing spot to hang out - bright lights and usually zero background music can make eating here feel more functional than leisurely. But the friendly family running the place is charming enough to make you want to stick around anyway - the owner’s wife takes your order, her mom is in the kitchen, and the owner checks on you to make sure you’re doing OK.
