The one and only Siam Rice

Pictured above is Siam Rice's Plik Khing in all its spicy, oily, lemon grassy glory. The Roasted Duck with Chinese Broccoli (crispy skin-on duck with a soy/vinegar/jalapeno sauce) and the Karry Curry are also in my regular rotation.

The Siam Rolls are better than the Spring Rolls, the Bamee Noodles come with a fried BBQ pork wonton, and the chicken broth with fresh cilantro in the Wonton Soup will cure whichever type of hangover ails you.

Siam Rice is THE best Thai place in the Loop. Arrive at 11:30 or 1pm and never in between.  Or go once a week for 7 years to achieve the "Meg Effect", as Erik calls it, and get seated immediately every time.

The most unhealthy (and delicious) dish on the menu, and a Benet Haller favorite, is the Panang Noodle, a curry dish with nary a vegetable save for the red pepper garnish, deep fried wide noodles, and piles of your choice of meat.
