Silli Kori

Delicious thai food! The place is always empty when I go in there, but I always take the food to go /​delivery. The food is so good, the only reason why I’m not giving it a 5-​star is because there is no consistency in the food. The fresh spring rolls are my favorite, but they slightly vary every time I order them. So while the place is great, they need to make sure their chefs are creating the same meal each time.

Food was awesome, staff was very nice. They need to get a bartender in there that can converse with customers and make drinks but drinks and food were on point.

Just went there for the first time. We ordered the Prawn bowl and the Pad Thai. They were both so delicious. The broth in the prawn bowl was outstanding! Service was good. Overall really good experience! Highly recommend :)

Awesome Thai place.
Streamlined and creative menu, you won’t find hundreds of things on offer but what’s there is great.
We tried kao Soi and the pad Thai as the mains.
Both full of flavor.
Shrimp toast, cucumber salad and crab Rangoon were great too (ok I know the last one isn’t officially a Thai dish but their execution was superb).
Coming back and we don’t even live that close…

I’d heard about Silli Kori and wanted to come, but never made it until a few days ago. It used to be a more standard Thai place but was renovated and menus changed into what it is today (along with a name change).
The interior of the place is nice — it’s trendy and a little intimate also with a little bar area. As far as the menu goes — it has some basic items still, but also some trendier ones. There is also an interesting drink menu with some interesting items on it too. I had the duck curry, corn fritters, and shrimp toast along with a drink. Everything was good and I enjoyed the corn fritters and duck curry the most. Service was pretty good too.
This place is nice with good food, an interesting drink menu, and a nice, trendy atmosphere close to some popular spots. I don’t understand why it’s not more popular, but I recommend it to anyone who likes Thai food and/​or trendy food places with interesting drink menus.

This was some of the freshest tasting Thai food I’ve ever had. Super delicious, and an awesome lunch special too. I had chicken pot stickers and Panang curry with chicken. Both were pretty stellar, and that is coming from someone who eats a LOT of Thai food. The restaurant itself is super cute and clean, and the whole place smelled like the fresh flowers that were on each table. Service was perfect too. Anxious to go back and try the dinner menu.

This is a tough one. The food here is wonderful! 5 star food and drink selection. My personal favorite is the son in law eggs. But last night when eating here, there was an odor of mildew that permeated the entire place. Not sure if something in the kitchen was malfunctioning or what, but it kind of tarnished the experience. When I asked about it, the staff member said they’d been there all day and couldn’t smell it, but it was very powerful.

Everything is pretty freaking amazing. I loved the uniqueness of the menu. I look forward to going back and trying more dishes. The wine list is extremely reasonably priced and great selection. Agree with another review that talks about a musty order but these old buildings often have that smell.

Delicious food. Try the crunchy rolls for an appetizer. The service was great, and the server was attentive.

Food is average to good but prices are on the higher side. Pad thai comes wrapped with eggs making it more interesting.

Delicious and great service! Relaxing environment. The Bangkok mule is wonderful and the potstickers too! I had the pad Thai and my boyfriend had the Cori noodles with the coconut cream sauce. Really tasty! The whole staff was so welcoming and Jack was very attentive. I love nothing more than being greeted at the door with a smile and everyone worked together to take care of everyone. We will be back!

This is the most underrated place in Chicago. I’ve been for lunch and dinner, and the food is just so good! Plus, their lunch special is unbelievable. Also, I had no idea the high quality of cocktails that would come from their bar. Really and truly, I highly recommend.

The food here was amazing!!! Shared a couple of dishes and an appetizer with my girlfriend for a date night. Great atmosphere as well.
When we went we had the entire place to ourselves so this experience might not be that of the typical service. With that said the wait staff was a bit awkward and their timing to come take our order was always off. Really only bad side to an overall pleasant experience.
We also were told this place was BYOB but it is not so be warned if that’s your expectation.

I really don’t know why this place has 4.5 stars. The food here is very below average. To be fair I only ordered one thing, very simple pad se ew, and for them to mess that up, I highly doubt I will be back.
I ordered take out, and I expected my container to be filled to the brim with food because I paid for extra vegetables, but when I got my container of food, it wasn’t full, I literally could see the bottom of the container, a very meager serving, in an already tiny take out container. It seemed like instead of giving me the extra vegetables I paid for, they just gave me less noodles! Yeah. And to add insult to injury, the vegetables were damn near raw, not that good fresh-​n-​vibrant cooked-​n-​crunchy, but super under cooked and tough. Then the noodles were overcooked. Over all the dish was blah. I’ve never had Thai food so bad.
This location used to be Thai Village, which was some super mediocre Thai food. Once I saw that it became a totally new restaurant I was excited to try it, but I regret it. To me Silli Kori is worse than Thai Village. If I could give them zero stars I would, but I guess they deserve the one star because the guy who took my order was super cute. I’ll never eat there again.

My friend and I are from Oregon and we are both very fond of Thai food. We make it a point to go to every Thai restaurant we can, while traveling. This restaurant had the most outstanding food and service of any Thai restaurant I have ever been to in the country. I can’t wait to visit Chicago again and come back to Silli Kori. :)

Silli Kori just turned me into a Thai food fan! We ordered carry-​out and got the chicken fried rice, Kori’s favorite noodle, and Kao Soi. All three were so DELICIOUS that I couldn’t pick a favorite. Really flavorful and fresh.
The only con is the confusion between Thai Village and Silli Kori… Which one are they? There are two menus, one for each restaurant, AND there are two different signs out front, one for each. (We ordered off the Silli Kori menu)
Calling to place our order was a bit of a struggle as I received «this phone number is no longer in service» multiple times. I finally got through but it wasn’t the number found on Unilocal or on-​line.
The restaurant was empty when I arrived to pick up my food, (Friday night at 9:00). I hope their reputation builds, positively, and we don’t lose a great neighborhood restaurant!

Solid menu. Loved the Crispy Curry Chicken Rice Salad. Unique and delicious. The outdoor seating is in front and lovely for a summer evening on Division street and the interior has been upgraded, making it feel more fresh and less traditional Thai.
Definitely a fan of this new place!

I don’t mess around when it comes to chicken fried rice and this place hit it out of the ballpark. The ingredients were extremely fresh and the flavors were outstanding. Special points for the homemade chili garlic sauce that I ordered on the side. Also, the fried rice is not published on the dinner menu but when I asked if I could order it, it was absolutely an option. Love when restaurants are accommodating!
We also ordered the Tom Yum Bowl — a perfectly seasoned creamy lemongrass broth with glass noodles, mushrooms and cilantro. The broth was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of lemongrass. Anyone who is familiar with this herb knows what I am talking about.
We were also able to choose the level of spiciness with both dishes which is always a bonus. The waitstaff are super attentive, friendly and extremely welcoming. Definitely going back here! Also, don’t let the sign outside fool you. It needs to be updated which, I am sure will eventually happen but clearly this restaurant has other priorities.
Go here and keep your taste buds happy, my friends. You will not be disappointed.

Ate here during Do-​Division like the previous reviewer. They had a special menu during the festival that I’m assuming was smaller than their regular one.
I would definitely go back to see an extended menu because everything we ate was awesome.
I had the chicken wings, which happened to be boneless, and came with a tasty little salad that wasnt on the menu. I also tried the pork shoulder skewers which were also really good and came with an amazing sauce to dip them in. They also came with a good little salad. Both of the dishes were considered starters. My friends had the mussels and a pad thai dish, and both enjoyed their food as well. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Went to this place during the «do Division» street fair. I had the crispy noodles with tofu, a blueberry basil sangria, and vegetable potstickers which the table split. Food was great, service was awesome too.
