Located in Chicago’s vibrant Noble Square neighborhood, Thalia Spice serves a variety of Asian cuisine, including Thai, Malaysian, Indian, and Japanese food, combined in a way that owes to both tradition and creativity. Fans of spicy food will find a new home away from home.
The restaurant is best known for its Thai food, with all of the usual Thai classics on the menu, along with a few interesting additions. Thalia Spice’s Pad Thai is some of the best in the city, spicy and tangy in that unique Thai way. Other customer favorites include the Drunken Spice Noodles, and River Boat Noodles, prepared in the traditional fashion.
Along with world class Thai cuisine, Thalia Spice is also one of the few restaurants in the area that also serves Malaysian and Indonesian food, like the Thalia Lard Nar (a pan-fried noodle dish) and the Indonesian Curry Mee (steamed egg noodles with shredded meat). Rounding out the menu are offerings from India and Japan, the former in spicy curry dishes like the Indian Chicken Makhana, and the latter in Tempura and Gyoza. While the menu is diverse in its offerings, it is unified by a theme of spiciness and rich flavor, along with fresh, high quality ingredients. Vegetarians and those seeking healthier options will also find plenty to choose from, including a variety of fresh salads.
While the menu is lively and exotic, the prices at Thalia Spice are reasonable and the portions very filling. Much like the neighborhood it is located in, the decor of the restaurant is decidedly casual and hip, perfect for a nice lunch or dinner with a group of friends. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to help navigate the large menu. With free parking and nearby public transit, Thalia Spice is a convenient, fun way to explore the spicy side of Asian cuisine.
