Real Thai

At first glance, Real Thai’s menu seems to just be a line-up of the usual suspects. And while the pad thai at this relaxed Norridge restaurant is delicious, you should turn your attention to the section on their menu labeled “Secret Thai Style.” It’s full of their best dishes: fried boiled eggs in tamarind sauce, crispy mussel pancakes with chili sauce, and a Northern Thai classic: warm jackfruit salad with fresh cucumber and crispy pork skin.
