Sai Mai Thai - Chicago

We got take out for dinner and decided to try a different place than the usual Thai place. The place was set up only as take-out and delivery that day which works for us. Parking could be a challenge.Our little kids enjoyed their pad see wee which was wonderful for any parent that have fussy eaters. We got Mongolian beef. It wasn't prepared they way I expected which would be more Chinese stir-fry style with lots of onions but this version was still very good. The basil chicken was spicy but the flavor was off and wasn't as great as other Thai places for me. We also got egg noodle kee mao which was meh. maybe it would have been better if i stuck to the usual rice noodle.

It was good but I'd like more beef. Expected that thick rich sauce, which this doesn't have, but the flavor was still delish. Would order again, but probably want to try other dishes first! Such quick, easy, friendly order and pick up over the phone.

I used to live right at Clark and Armitage and I walked past Sai Mai a handful of times. They don 't allow dining-in service anymore so I was always impressed they stayed open through the pandemic. One night when I was craving pad thai I went with a friend and now it 's been over a year and I haven 't stopped ordering since! Whether you order in person at the restaurant or order over Door Dash my food has always arrived quickly. I 've never had an issue with an order. At this point my body is probably 20% pad thai with how much I 've eaten there. I no longer at Clark and Armitage but I still order Sai Mai and I haven 't found a better place.

Really authentic Thai food, flavorful Shrimp tom yum.Can be perfect if the dine-in option is available.

I tried Sai Mai Kee Mao and Tom Yum and they are so authentic and delicious. It tastes exactly what legit Thai diíhes but it only serves take-away. Highly recommend those wanna try Thai food with reasonable price.
