These days I feel like Thai food is like your typical Chinese take-out; greasy, fattening, and largely uninspiring food that you regret eating once you're done. Don't get me wrong, I like Thai food, but I think that most places miss the mark. After eating at Opart Thai, I can gladly say that there are still some places that serve up good Thai food without making me regret it.
The food here was so good that I went with the same friend two days in a row; the first was at the location in Lincoln Square, and the second was at the location in the South Loop. The South Loop location looks cooler IMO; it has this pretty ornate door frame that really makes me feel like it's better at least. But the food is consistent across both locations. This is my new go-to Thai place in the city, check it out!
