Yasotorn Thai Cuisine

"I’ve gotten take out and delivery and they’ve been the best every time. I really want to eat in because of how adorable everything looks. But if you only get the chance to take home, it’s phenomenal, best Thai I’ve had. Everything is wonderful."

"Our visit was 25 June 2023, during a business trip. The place is beautiful and has some small areas that are quant to eat in. Parking is on the street but we were fortunate it was a Sunday, the day we flew in. The reviews were rated high so we thought we would try it out. Total of 5 of us. We all had different dishes and consensus was some portions were small for pricing and some of them left taste to be a challenge, meaning a little lacking. Overall, the food was prepared well and we enjoyed ourselves. The staff was excellent and pleasant and looked out for my food allergies."

"We got yasotorn duck salad and hoi tod. The food tasted decent but portions were small for the price. Service was ok. Rooftop was nice."

"Service was fine and the atmosphere is decent. What really stunned me here was the amazing food! For starters I had the Som Tum Thai. I wasn't expecting a salad to really surprise me, but the dressing was very well made and worked perfectly with the texture of the papaya shreds. It was a balance fruity, savory, and sweet flavors that really seemed to be the theme for most of the food items I ordered. Afterwards, I had the grilled pork shoulder which had a great smoky flavor that paired very well with the spicy and savory sauce that came with it. I really liked the touch of paprika in the sauce that really brought together the whole dish. The Tom Yum soup was decent, but it didn't compare to what came next! The duck curry was absolutely splendid, the duck was roasted to the perfect crispiness that melted in my mouth! It was almost as crispy as Korean fried chicken without even having any fried batter on it! The curry sauce itself was well balanced in heat, sweetness, and savoriness. I normally don't like coconut milk based curries because it feels like the coconut flavor can overpower everything else, but this wasn't the case here. The flavor balance was perfect and just had a subtle hint of everything in it without overloading one flavor profile over another. Combined with the fluffy jasmine rice and crispy duck, it was definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, I mainly review based on the taste of the food and this by far has exceeded my expectations as one of the best Thai restaurants in the Chicago area that I've personally had!"

"I came for authentic papaya salad from famous chef and nothing else. Unreal and never disappointed. Love the second floor patio. BYOB welcome."
