"Thai Urban Kitchen is very convenient to the Ogilvie Train Station and the Citigroup office building. It's a little far from my office for lunch, but great for catching dinner before heading home on the train."

"Sit-down, and better than NWestern station food court fast-food options. Use if you ride train in for Opera or other show at Lyric--and don't want to pay Blackbird or Avec prices. Sent back cold Miso soup; came back tepid but ok. Pad Thai was ok, but bland. My wife liked her green curry."

"Great place for lunch. The food is always great. Usually the service isn't amazing but this time it was awful. The consistently average service doesn't stop me from going back because the food is just that good. I still highly recommend because of this. Good atmosphere too."

"The restaurant was quiet and not to crowded at that time of day 5:30 p.m. I've been there for lunch and it is loud and busy during the work week lunch hour. The food was good as well as the service. Excellent venue for people going to the Lyric Opera."

"Thai Urban Kitchen is well suited as THE place to go in this locale for great lunch! Every visit has been met with anticipation to at least be par with the last visit. They always exceed my expectations. Whether you're ready for sushi, thai, miso soup, or all of these, you're in for a real treat. Great food, service, and ambiance - you will not go wrong here."

"We got there and it was surprisingly empty, we were seated right away and our server was very friendly. When it came time to order drinks i ordered a vodka and seven, because of the language barrier the waitress did not understand what i was saying and i ended up getting vodka on the rocks. The food came very quickly and was very tasty, i guess the only thing i could complain about was the drink situation but that wasnt really a big deal. Overall i liked it and would go back.
Very reasonably priced for the atmosphere and location."

"This restaurant is across the street from my office in the Ogilvie Metra Train station so it is convenient. The sushi is fresh but service is slow and their cocktails are not great. We had a grey goose martini that had a notably lemony syrupy taste which was offbeat. Wouldn't order it again."

"I really liked the lobby. It was open and all windows. Bright and modern. And we didn't wait too long to get the appetizers and then the main dish during the lunch hour so it was a big plus.
My mushroom pot stickers were fried and way too sweet.My co-worker's Tom Yum soup was too sweet too. I guess that set a theme.
My green curry with Tofu was a bit yellow for the name. And tofu looked like just cut up to a triangle and put in the broth without cooking. No grilled or seared or fried, nothing which was fine until I tasted the tofu taste. Other veggies in the curry broth was pretty tasty although the broth was too sweet and not spicy enough for me.
