Amarit Thai and sushi (CHICAGO Location)

I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around Printer's Row. We weren't planning on going anywhere for lunch, so this was a spur of the moment decision, and boy was it worth it! The atmosphere isn't anything spectacular. Kind of your typical mom and pop place, which is not a bad thing!! Just not a place if you're trying to get wowed by their decor or anything. We only ordered two entrees but they were SO flavorful and delicious! I got the Pad See Eiw and my boyfriend got the Panang Curry. If you like Curry chicken, you have to try this. The amount of different flavors and spices you get from this dish is amazing. It has a slight kick to it, so if you also like spicy you'll love this. The owners are very sweet people, and so hospitable. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you're in the area :) (Also, this is definitely a place I would order from for takeout for a hangover cure 😆)

I haven't had any opportunity to visit this location in years but my server (the owner) gently reminded me of her previous location in Chicago's Coast on Dearborn Street and immediately my memory was jarred. This particular location is convenient if you live in Printer's Row (South Loop) and the menu is diverse featuring traditional Thai curry dishes, noodle 🍜 entrees, wonderful soup 🍲 and various seafood options including sushi 🍣 and sashimi. I chose the seafood soup which is primarily broth, mushrooms, mussels, shrimp, squid 🐙 and a variety of onions 🌰 and lemongrass. If you're not feeling well I highly recommend you order their specialty soups because you'll instantly feel better because of all the ginger and other herbs used that make these broths so flavorful. Another must is ordering the Thai ice tea 🍵 and Thai iced coffee ☕ it's one of the best in Chicago and tasty like a dessert. The restaurant itself is cozy and laid back with plenty of booths by the window if you enjoy people watching. I remember visiting here in the summer years ago and enjoying outdoor patio seating so I hope 🙏 they bring that back this summer so I can relax outside with my mountain dog 🐕 If you love Thai cuisine in a non fussy and relaxed setting you will definitely appreciate this independently owned family restaurant.
