Cozy Noodles n' Rice in Wrigleyville
Cozy Noodles n' Rice at 3456 N. Sheffield is my favorite Thai place in the city. And when I say Thai, I really mean Pad-Thai, because pad-thai is one of the greatest dishes on the face of the earth, and it's the only dish I ever order when going out to a Thai place.
Located about 100 yards from Wrigley Field, Cozy has seating for about twenty people, and there's typically thirty in the place. Every square inch that isn't filled up with diners is packed with seemingly random trinkets and signs, which give the place a claustrophobic, but adventurous environment.

Aside from the aforementioned pad-thai, Cozy also has a drink called Bubble Teas with little Tapioca balls at the bottom. The Bubble Tea doesn't taste at all like tea, but more like a smoothie that takes on the flavor of your choice. My favorite is Mango, but the Bubble Tea also comes in Honey Dew, Coconut, Plum, Red Bean, Green Tea, and Taro.
Also, if you're ordering for two, you'll generally have spent enough to qualify for the free crab rangoon (orders over $18 as of this writing). Make sure to ask about that, because the crab rangoon is excellent. There are also a few other coupons available by clicking here.
And finally, as a special bonus. If you get their takeout (or delivery), the containers they use are really quite nice, and I keep mine to use as tupperware.
Torben Review: 5 stars out of 5. Oooh I want some Crab Rangoon after writing this.
