Prego lady in need of some yummy chinese or Thai!????

Hello all...

I live in the North Shore and have yet to find an Asian/Thai restaurant worth my while....any suggestions??? I'm way to close to my due date to venture into the city otherwise I'd be in Chinatown right now with chopsticks in my hand!!
HELP!

Could you be a little more specific as to your location and how far you're able to travel - or are you looking for delivery? Otherwise, there's a great selection of in-Chicago Northside asian on Argyle, many of them listed on the GNR list, which is sorted first by cuisine and second by location.

I'm in the North Shore so Highland Park area. I am willing to go anywhere between Evanston and Wisconsin and not to much West of arlington heights....I know I am limiting things!!

I have just the thread for you.

North Shore Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese

Inexpensive north shore chinese fare

And there are a few more here.

There is an Opart's Thai just north of the Old Orchard Mall on Skokie Blvd, across the street from the Baker's Square in Wilmette.

Thai Pavilion Restaurant in Skokie has been a hidden neighborhood gem for a while now.

if your looking for thai then you should check out thai pavillion is very authentic and delicious. i actually live 2 blocks away from there and the lunch buffet is worth the $6.75 plus tax & tip. if your looking for some chinese you should check out chinatown restaurant on dempster in morton grove.

I haven't been there in a while but IIRC, they have both Chinese and Filipino dishes and are very popular with the local Taiwanese community. Somebody else called it "Americanized" but I think that means they didn't order carefully.

Try Tub Tim Thai in Skokie-- I have been happy every time I've been there with friends, including New Year's Eve last year. Very sedate atmosphere. Not the most "authentic" Thai around ( I live near Spoon) but good for the North Shore.

This thread got me me to thinking............while I haven't been in far too long, I recall visiting PineYard in Evanston. Years ago it used to be located on Church St. right next to the "Old" Dave's restaurant location. Last I knew, PineYard is now a block south on Davis St.

Outstanding (and piping hot) soups are what I remember, along with some of the finest tasting crispest(sp?) vegetable dishes. Any recent reports?

For farther north northshore, I still recommend Yu's Sechwann (formerly northbrook's "Golden Crown" and more of a carry-out now, although some seating is available) in Highland Park for their hongsu chicken mentioned in another thread.

I like Pine Yard, too - that and Joy Yee's are probably Evanston's two best pure Chinese joints (Koi mixes Chinese with sushi; Phoenix Inn has history on its side).

The last time I went to Pine Yard was indeed the last time - the food was wretched. Very disappointing, as I'd been a customer for nearly 20 years. There are far better and more authentic places within 20 minutes, so what's the point?
