"I stopped at Noble Thai (1317 W. Chicago Avenue) and spent $26.40; I initially forgot to order their signature appetizer tiger cry, which would have been a mistake. The charred marinated beef was one of the best things I’ve eaten (9.1/10) and justified the drive, the chicken pad Thai was a bit dry and needed more sauce (7.6/10 after I ordered a spice level of 3/5), the chicken spring rolls felt very fresh (7.7/10), and the chicken satay itself was pedestrian but the peanut sauce lifted it to an overall 8/10. The restaurant was empty at 4 p.m., which felt more like a marketing issue than a food problem." - Naomi Waxman
