Here in Gringo City, where I live, I'm thrilled to have ATK in the neighborhood. I'm not educated in the more exotic Thai dishes, but have been pretty adventurous in my ordering with happy results (I never imagined I'd have mudskipper soup, for instance, but I really liked it). And when I go by, I'm always heartened to see that business seems good. Long may ATK thrive in this outpost!

Indeed. Btw Didn't mean no offense by "gringo city"; sorry if it sounds offensive.

The "vibrant true flavors of Chachoengsao Thailand" are soon to hit Edgewater with a new Andy's Thai Kitchen set to open next month along North Broadway. Currently in Lakeview, the eatery will takeover a former restaurant at 6230 N. Broadway in early October, said Travis Sutton, who runs the business with chef Andy Aroonrasameruang.

Tonight was the first time I tried Andy's, with a carryout order (which may or may not suffer from transportation) from the Edgewater location (whose food may or may not be similar to the Lakeview one). Here's what I had:
Chicken satay - meat was way, way too chewy; sauce was too thin for dipping and had insufficient peanut flavor
Tom kha chicken - not bad, although the flavor profile leaned heavily towards tangy (lemongrass) with very little creamy (coconut), and chicken was a bit too chewy
Panang chicken - versions I prefer lean towards predominant coconut and peanut flavors; this version leans towards hot green Thai peppers, and the dish was a bit too hot as a result - I like hot, but this was overkill
Pad thai shrimp - this was an extremely bland, almost tasteless version of this relatively mild dish
I realize that people who like ATK like it because of its more unusual dishes, none of which I tried. But these are the dishes I like to try, and this is what I thought. Shrug.
