Me Dee Cafe

"Got there at 11 pm and was happily surprised with the extensive menu and friendly service. We were the only people at this small place, but while we ordered and had dinner there were maybe 10 to 12 take-out orders prepared and picked up. A couple of them were large. I came because google maps said they have pho. This place is Thai, not Vietnamese, so no pho, but they are good at what they do have. We had fried Chinese sausage, glass noodle pork and cabbage soup, and celery tilapia, which has a lot more than just celery."

"A familiar feel called home. You don't have to have travelled to Thailand or lived there to be drawn to this place and wrapped blanket of comfort food. The setup is pretty minimalistic. It's tucked away in a corner. But just go in and be ready to be blown away by the food, hospitality and more food. Vegans/ Vegetarians: This place is awesome. the chive dumplings are the best way to start of any meal. I have a soft corner for Pad Kee mao and this place knocks it out of the park. the Veg version is even better. The green curry or the panang curry. either way you never go wrong. Now for the Stand outs: If you like crab, do try the crab fried rice. The spicier you ask, the tastier it gets. Its my go to hangover cure. The Veg Lad Nar is actually the best thing on the menu, even for meat eaters. This late night spot has to be on your radar. go check it out and let me know if you like it."

"The food is authentic and the atmosphere is chill! It opens until midnight, such a late night saver. Although their menu seems like the same dishes in English and Thai, but they are different food, be patience on the Thai menu because they are delicious. And if you’re not sure the combination, ask the server, she’s kind and knowledgable~ We had such a good time and will be back for sure."

"Local Thai Restaurant that stays open late. The restaurant is a favor among Thais for its rice soup dishes and spicy salads. Many of these dishes can be ordered off the Thai menu. Some of my favorites: salty egg salad, chinese sausage salad, fried fish, and nam fried omelette.  The cafe is quite small. The restaurant is clean and cozy. Great food always."

"Update: food is still awesomely good and they renovated the walk and changed some decoration. I’m posting pics of the food this time, it is a must!!!! Original review: Authentic Thai food in Chicago. Tried not alone, but with Thai friends, and we were all amazed by the quality, the flavor, and the price of the food! I am now a regular at Me Dee!"
