Editorial Review of Thai Urban Kitchen

This Thai spot, nestled in the bowels of Ogilvie Transportation Center, offers a sleek and peaceful oasis amid the hustle and bustle of commuters trying to catch trains and buses. The location is dominated by a central water fountain with gently lapping waves flowing over the sides, reflecting the dramatic Thai designs on the walls. The restaurant (brought to you by the folks behind Sura) currently only serves breakfast and lunch.

The breakfast menu is somewhat waffle-heavy (the waffles are made in a standard Belgium waffle maker—no special Thai twist there) with exotics like Thai Curry or Coconut Thai waffles next to old favorites like French toast and Eggs Benedict. All the dishes, whether exotic fare or comfort food, have delicious Thai spices like lemongrass syrup or kaffir lime sugar on top. The bacon is a tasty, thinly sliced treat that complements the sweetness of many of the dishes, as are the home fries delicately seasoned with onions. For lunch, you'll find many Thai classics like tom yum soup, panang curry and pad thai, in addition to four "chef's selections" and a sushi menu. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday ($8 per dish). Carry out and delivery is offered.
