Call up your friends and tell them to meet you here for dinner. Thai Linda is a great place for groups who want to have a good time exchanging crazy stories or who are on their way to one of the many bars in Roscoe Village. Family-owned and cozy as hell, Thai Linda always serves up fresh dishes, including specialties like duck, deep-fried catfish, and light and tasty lemongrass chicken. Fans of Thai appetizers should definitely order the combination platter, which includes satay, pot stickers, Thai dumplings, spring rolls and veggie dumplings.

During the warm summer months a nice shaded sidewalk cafe offers interesting views of this somewhat busy Roscoe Street strip. Thai Linda has a huge take-out business, and offers the friendliest service whether you decide to dine in or out.
