"Keadkao Express, a quick-serve stall inside the Urbanspace Washington food hall, focuses on rich and herbaceous southern Thai cuisine. It offers dishes such as green curry chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and Hadyai fried chicken. Specials include massamun curry with beef, tom yum soup with jumbo shrimp, and a popular pad Thai that sold out on opening day. Owners Patt Tongphong and chef Tom Deethian aim to provide fast, tasty midday options for workers, bringing a unique southern Thai style to downtown Chicago." - Naomi Waxman
