About this spot
Silom 12 delivers authentic Thai flavors in the heart of Wicker Park, where the crispy garlic pork (Moo Krataw) and spicy green curry are prepared with the same rigor as Bangkok's street stalls. The open kitchen buzzes with activity, offering a vibrant backdrop to your meal while you wait for your order to be plated fresh.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the Pad Krapow Moo Saap immediately upon seating, as this classic basil pork stir-fry often sells out before dinner rush.
- Bring cash or have your card ready at the register, because many Thai eateries in Chicago operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no table reservations.
- Ask for extra chili flakes on your rice noodles if you want to elevate the heat level without altering the traditional spice balance.
