Reviews for So Bowl in Chicago, IL
So lucky to have this place in the area instead of just generic chain restaurants and fast food. Food is delicious and staff is... friendly. Could not recommend more. Read more
Sorry, but this is no tom yum soup, If you just google it, Will be a totally different soup, And i did had it before, Personal... is nice. But i came for the food They should remove that soup from the menu, Is just water and shrimp with mushrooms andtomatoes boiled together Read more
Very delicious authentic Thai cuisine that is made with fresh quality ingredients. The crab Rangoon is excellent to start off... with, even when I get an order for pick up it is piping hot and with a crispy shell. I also strongly recommend the Pad Thai andBeef Basil- which is served with slices of steak instead of ground steak or chicken which is common. Also the Drunken Noodlesdish is fabulous- ask for medium hot if you like spice and there are tons of fresh jalapeños and other crunchy vegetables. Alldishes I have ever ordered are excellent, plus the owner of the restaurant is very friendly and service is great! Read more
Now, I bring all my friends in here. They all say, I LIVE HERE SO LONG AND NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS PLACE. And they love the... food here and repeat visit. Let's spread the word folks. I am in love when I first came, and everyone, even a few locals, they love food like this but say, "I didn't know about this place" and they travel up to 30 minutes Away. Great food, greatattitude, and great people. Read more
Nice cozy restaurant serving fresh and delicious meals. We had the crab rangoons the Thai fried rice and Panang curry - all were... perfectly flavorful. Service was quick and pleasant. I plan to return to try the pad Thai. Read more
Quite pleased to find a new, tasty, option for Thai nearby! My wife loves Pad Thai once in a while, and I yearn for a bright... and flavorful curry. We were both happy tonight after ordering for the first time from So Bowl. I got the Panang Curry (chicken,3/5 spicy) and she got the Pad Thai of course (chicken, 2/5 spicy). Edamame and brown rice on the side. Curry was super, justthe right spiciness - definitely there but didn't overpower the complex flavors. Pad Thai was on fire, more than expected but welike it hot. Fair warning though, next time that'll be ordered at 1/5 on the spicy chart. It needed an IPA to cool it down, goodthing we were prepared. Portions were good, not crazy large but enough for a lunch snack tomorrow. Overall very happy, and theowner was cheerful and friendly. I can't imagine opening a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic! We'll be back for more spicy,flavorful Thai soon. Read more
Update 10/15/2021: Tom Yum soup just a tad bit salty today. ???? But everything else still Sooooo delish! * Chicken Larb Gai... salad was light albeit a bit watery. * Pineapple fried rice and Basil stir fry rice are super yum * Pad See Ew x 2 with beefabsolutely the best we had here * Green Curry x2 with veggies is amazing * Panang curry not a thick peanut sauce but a smoothersoupy consistency , quite tasty * Thai iced coffee and Rose Milk tea were ok * Salad dressing was house made so I asked for acontainer to go, fruity and light ???? ***************************************** Sooooooo delish! It was so refreshing to eatThai food with great flavoring without the heavy saltiness that comes with usual cuisines. The sister and brother make a stellarteam. ???? *The salad ???? is light and the dressing tangy * Papaya salad was excellent without onion fillers and not fishsauce heavy *Veggie Egg rolls fried to a perfect crunch *Tom Kha soup ???? with the hint of lemongrass *Pad Thai ???? is not alittle lite on the tamarind so not as flavorful as we are used to *Pineapple fried rice with curry flavoring was very yum *Green curry with some beef really didn?t need any meat only lots of rice ???? * Thai donuts are finger size pillowy beignetfried dough with condensed milk dip Glad we found this little gem of a spot. Parking on the street is gravel in front of thestore but don?t park inside the plaza since they tow. Adorable ???? logo is owner?s niece and that sets the tone for the wholeexperience. So clean and neat with one of the best meals ever! Read more
I love this place. They expanded their menu we found out. I can?t get enough of the papaya salad. It?s the kind of place I can... go with my husband and I can get some healthy chicken and he can get his noodles. And you can get a great view of the leaningtower. Read more
