COO Thai Cuisine

Super GemLakeview East · Southern Thai Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2932 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60657

COO Thai Cuisine specializes in Southern Thai cooking specifically, which is a real distinction in a city where most Thai menus default to the more familiar central-Thai repertoire — Southern Thai food runs spicier, funkier, and more seafood-forward, and this Lakeview East spot leans all the way in.

$$$
Jumbo Lump Crab Curry and Kua Kling (a dry, intensely spiced minced-meat dish) — real Southern Thai cooking, spicier and more seafood-forward than the city's more common central-Thai menus.

The Jumbo Lump Crab Curry is the headline order, but Gang Rawang, Kua Kling (a dry, intensely spiced minced-meat dish), and a Southern Thai sausage all show up as reviewer favorites too.

It's BYOB, which keeps the whole meal more affordable than the ambition of the cooking might suggest, and the restaurant has built a quietly strong reputation on Broadway without needing much of a marketing push to do it.
