Pot Pan

I feel like Jewish Santa giving this place a 2.  Let's be honest: the Asian restaurant space is a bit overcrowded, the quality of the participants can be a bit homogeneous.  So, if you operate an establishment that has the chutzpah (Jewish Santa's words, not mine) to charge a higher than average price for your fare, the quality of your food dern well better justify the extra money.  Pot Pan's food does not, it's overly fried, there isn't anything interesting or new on the menu and nothing I've ever ordered there has been particularly good.  It avoided 1 star only because it's edible and I reserve the single star Scarlet Letter for the lowest circle of Yelp Hell.

A totally average Thai place. Nothing memorable good or bad.

Chicago is riddled with subpar Thai food and this place is no exception. Don't let the trendy decor fool you -- the food straight up sucks. The Pad Thai was worse than what you get at the grocery store, pour the sauce in a packet over the noodles and heat in the microwave. It was dry, sugary, bland, no veggies, no freshness or brightness. My lady got some other classic Thai dish that also sucked. Would never come back here again.
