Description
Tucked onto Woodside Avenue in Elmhurst, this family- and women-owned spot serves dishes that do not tone down their heat, focusing on acidic, citrus-forward, and spicy flavors. The kitchen turns out plates like papaya salad, sticky rice, and grilled chicken, served individually or family-style in a tidy but compact dining room with limited seating. Service is fast and friendly, though prices run slightly high.
