Egg O Egg

Tried the crab omelet and the fried chicken with rice. Service was pretty quick. The crab omelet had no fishy taste at all and a decent amount of crab. The chicken was crispy and very large portion size. Prices were decent for river north. I think it’s an interesting place to try. I would probably stick with the Thai choices instead of the American breakfasts.

Paul, What you have responded made very little sense to me. If the Congee is the owners mom's special recipe, then you should call it Ma's Congee, not Thai Congee, I never had Congee that thick in Thailand, at least not at restaurants. As for the Crab omelette, the $13.95 portion cost balance scheme does not apply because I basiscally paid $13.95 for a big fried egg, a ton of rice and 3 slices cucumbers, so those strings of crab in there better be Alaskan King Crab. ------------------------------------------------- Indeed this is the first Thai breakfast joint in Chicago. We are quite familiar with the "Friend" chain, so we came with a certain expectations. Many people don't understand the difference between porridge and congee, but plainly speaking, porridge is cooked down to the point that the rice is broken up like fine oat meal, thick and sticky. This is what they serve here, it is not congee. If you put your rice in a good rice cooker with a porridge setting, you will get that. Actual congee is cooked downed manually with time and care, it is more watery. The ingredients are similar to the traditional Thai congee, but I was expecting at least a bit of pork broth over it if the porridge is not seasoned (salted). And yes there is a huge difference in taste if the porridge is cooked with salt or after. So when you get to the second half of the porridge, it becomes very bland, like eating plain white rice. I can make this better at home and I don't need to spend $13.95. By the way, why is everying $13.95? 😂 The crab omelette was very disappointing. I have had countless crab omelettes (in any style) when I was in Thailand, I won't compare this to Jay Fai in Bangkok, but there is almost nothing in the omelette. The only sizable crab I saw was that little pinch of it on top of the omelette. So it is basically just a big fried egg. I am sure the other omelette styles are the same. The chili sauce was good though. I was going to try the Moo Ping, it is one of my favorite Thai street food items. But I just remembered how much I paid when I was in Thailand, I just couldn't bite the bullet. For those people who gave bad reviews on the American breakfast items, would you order Thai fried rice at an American restaurant? Enough said.

We had such a delicious brunch at egg o egg chicago. The Moo Ping Pork was so tender and delicious! It comes with Sticky Rice, Cabbage Slaw, and spicy sauce. I added a Thai Tea to my meal, and it was really good with a cinnamon tasting bite. They just opened on March 8th and are quickly becoming the place for Thai Breakfast and Brunch. The staff is so friendly and helpful I felt like one of the family. They are connected to friends station chicago on State Street. Open every day from 7 am to 3 pm. Don't delay.

In my opinion, most of these reviews are inaccurate. This place definitely deserves to be a 4+ star rating. The Kao Man Gao Tod was sooo good and hit my savory craving and paired along with the fluffy pancakes - I would say this was a 10/10 brunch experience.

I came here for breakfast based on the reviews but I guess you can’t always trust someone else’s opinions. I order the All American Breakfast and everything about it was bad. I had requested everything but the eggs be prepared well done. Instead, the eggs were well done and nothing else was. My toast was cold, I asked for ice water that I never got, and the server seemed confused and indifferent. Maybe they are new? I had high hopes for this place but I can’t recommend it. I won’t be going back.

Hungry man saw an open sign and walked in and was pleasantly surprised by their Hainan chicken rice! I actually want to write Google a bad review for hiding this place from me all the time. Finally some breakfast that is not some form of pancake or egg or potatoes.

Amazing treat to have authentic Thai breakfast items in Chicago! I lived in Bangkok for several years and the Kao Mun Gai brought me back to eating at a local street stand that you can find around the corner from anywhere in Bangkok but impossible in Chicago, until now! Nice to also see American dishes on the menu that kids might enjoy. Thai iced tea also great, not overly sweet. Cannot wait to come back and try everything else on the menu!

If you are looking for delicious Thai breakfast - this is the place to go! The food and drinks are great, the staff is super sweet and friendly. I will definitely come back here and highly recommend Egg O Egg. Korb khun mak mak na ka!
