  We live about a block away.  Of course, when you see a cute little thai place open right by your house, you think  "please oh please be good."   We just tried it and yes, its really good!  Nice people, yummy smoothies, good noodles, good sauce to noodle ratio, yummy dumplings.  Affordable, yummy, BYOB: thats everything what we love and want in a nook&cranny Chicago Thai place :-)  We both really liked it.  We'll be regulars :-)

  Much better than the previous place. Friendly staff and great Thai!  Just what this neighborhood needs.

  This place is fine, not spectacular, not horrible.  The chicken satay appetizer I ordered was actually really good and featured what appeared to be real chicken as opposed to what you usually get at other places (some type of processed and shaped bird?).  I got pad see ew for my main and the lady had pad thai.  Neither of us were impressed nor disappointed.  The woman on the phone was very friendly.  I would order here again but its not something I would be all excited about.

  OK to get me into a Thai Restaurant normally would be hard.
  Went on Tuesday after getting off work and before shoveling snow.
  
  It was Fantastic, The service The Food.
  
  I liked the selections/choices and the soup - well I could have licked the bowel, Had a rice and shrimp entre that was fresh and hearty.
  
  Like the BYOB as well.

  I love Thai food but hate that I have to travel outside of my neighborhood to get it. So naturally I was happy when Begin opened.
  
  I had Crab Rangoon and although the presentation was great, the taste was just okay. Maybe if they cooked it a bit longer it would have been better. Then, I had the Pad Thai. The flavor was Amazing but the noodles could have been cooked longer. It didn't spoil my meal though and again the presentation was great. The portion sizes are small in comparison to the price.
  
  Overall, I would go back. Partially because it's close. I just have to be specific about the way they cook my food. They are extremely friendly and gave me a complimentary dessert.

  The food was delicious. We had the edamame, crunchy pad thai, and broccoli veggie rice dinner. So yummy. BYOB and totally okay with my friend and I bringing 2 bottles of wine for 2 people. They even gave us 2 little chocolate and caramel cheesecake bites. Service was great, we'll definitely be going back soon.
