Where To Get Thai Food For Delivery or Takeout In Chicago
21 places that are open and ready to send you Thai food.
Google “best Thai food in Chicago” and you’ll find no shortage of suggestions. Luckily, it’s tough for any of these suggestions to steer you wrong, because we think there’s a lot of solid Thai in the city. Sticky Rice is one of those places you may hear about all the time, and it would be wise to let your ears perk up when it’s being discussed - like right now.
Sticky Rice specializes in Northern Thai cuisine, which means it’s more than simply pad thai and pad see ew. That doesn’t mean you can’t order either of those items, although we would suggest skipping the pad thai. Instead, experiment with a number of dishes from a menu as comprehensive as an Ayn Rand novel. You have an array of options and menu sections ranging from Thai Northern Dish and Thai Curry Dish, to Sticky Rice’s Specials.
Food Rundown
Baos
Keep an eye out for fresh baos as a special appetizer. Order them if available.
Crab Ragoon
This version is mostly fried cream cheese. Skip it, there are too many better options.
Tom Kha Soup
Hot and sour coconut milk soup with mushroom. Get it with chicken too, and order it if you like a little spicy.
Rice Soup
If spicy isn’t for you, then go for this rice soup. It’s simple, but packs a subtle sweetness and overall good flavor.
Pad See Ewe
Get it with the beef. We are fans of these wide rice noodles with egg and chinese broccoli.
Northern Thai Sausage
A homemade ground pork and pork skin sausage mixed with red curry paste and spicy thai herbs. The texture is very distinct, and it’s got a nice heat on the back end. A worthy appetizer to share for $2.50, or make it an entree by ordering more than one.
Mango Chicken
Stir-fried chicken with bell pepper, onion, plum sauce, and, of course, mangos. It’s served inside of a hollowed out mango, and is a sweet and tasty chicken dish.
Tiger Prawn Pad Karee
Tiger prawns served over a variation of curry sauce with ground chicken, egg, onion, tomatoes, celery, hot pepper, and ginger. Meant to be spooned over “sticky rice” to soak up all the sauce.
