Food is Amazing!!! BYOB is a plus. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Small space perfect for dates with friends and partner. Price point is super affordable.

I really loved my experience here! I ordered the fried rice and a crab & cheese (crab rangoons) and it was all very delicious. The service was really good too. I feel like places that are a smaller dining-in area can be intimidating, especially when we were the first party to be sitting in there tonight. But since we were confident and content, it really made for no big deal and there were many others who came in for dine-in/carry-out while we were there.

Got there at 11 pm and was happily surprised with the extensive menu and friendly service. We were the only people at this small place, but while we ordered and had dinner there were maybe 10 to 12 take-out orders prepared and picked up. A couple of them were large.I came because google maps said they have pho. This place is Thai, not Vietnamese, so no pho, but they are good at what they do have. We had fried Chinese sausage, glass noodle pork and cabbage soup, and celery tilapia, which has a lot more than just celery.Dietary restrictions: They listened to our allergy concerns and came out later to ask follow-up questions. I love it when restaurants do this, because it means they paid attention.

A familiar feel called home.You don't have to have travelled to Thailand or lived there to be drawn to this place and wrapped blanket of comfort food. The setup is pretty minimalistic. It's tucked away in a corner.But just go in and be ready to be blown away by the food, hospitality and more food.Vegans/ Vegetarians: This place is awesome.the chive dumplings are the best way to start of any meal.I have a soft corner for Pad Kee mao and this place knocks it out of the park.the Veg version is even better.The green curry or the panang curry. either way you never go wrong.Now for the Stand outs:If you like crab, do try the crab fried rice. The spicier you ask, the tastier it gets. Its my go to hangover cure.The Veg Lad Nar is actually the best thing on the menu, even for meat eaters.This late night spot has to be on your radar.go check it out and let me know if you like it.Vegetarian options: Great Vegan and vegetarian options.

I used to get Me Dee a few times a month and I liked it. Then I moved to a different state and now I appreciate how great this place really is.

The food is authentic and the atmosphere is chill! It opens until midnight, such a late night saver.Although their menu seems like the same dishes in English and Thai, but they are different food, be patience on the Thai menu because they are delicious. And if you’re not sure the combination, ask the server, she’s kind and knowledgable~We had such a good time and will be back for sure.

Our go-to place when craving thai food and open late. The place is small, a handful of tables, cozy with cute wall design. The service is good and the food is even better. All the dishes ordered has always been delicious. My fave is the crab fried rice. The only con is that the path to the bathroom and the room itself is not wheelchair accessible.

Me Dee Cafe is a delightful culinary discovery. Their menu offers a tasty variety of dishes, all bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. For delicious food and a warm ambiance, Me Dee Cafe is a must-visit. Can't wait to return!

Food was decent but the price for the portion of food is ridiculous. I don't know how this place stays in business! Don't order from this place if your hungry! They also lack good customer service.

I think for Chicago Thai food standards, it does the job and is on par with many other Thai places. Maybe I just didn't order exactly the right thing, but for people saying it's their best go-to Thai food spot, I am surprised, because my Pad See Ewe take out meal was good, but nothing to write home about. I do appreciate that they made it a little spicier since I had made it clear I wanted it spicy. It definitely wasn't up to the spicy level that I truly wanted, but I appreciate it. I do really like that they're open later than a lot of other Thai places in the area which makes it easier to order when you're getting late night munchies. That would be the main reason why I'd order back again from here in the future!

The food was a solid 7.8/10. Some of the most authentic Thai food that I've had, so the flavors and tastes were pretty satisfying, but wouldn't describe it as perfectly appealing. But with the environment, the place was a good 8.4/10. The prices were decent for the quantity and quality. But like I said, the environment, with all the people, the place is very cozy and it felt like home.
