Oliang
2428 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Oliang is a Thai restaurant that doubles as a specialty drinks destination, where creative beverages like house-made cha yen and signature mango drinks are as memorable as the exceptional khao soi and curry dishes. The warm, attentive service and leisurely atmosphere make it the kind of place where you'll linger over matcha tea or slow-sipped specialty drinks while savoring uniquely crafted food that keeps locals fiercely protective of this well-loved neighborhood gem.”

Super lovely atmosphere, amazing menu and really attentive service from Alex! Had such a nice time here. The duck curry is absolutely worth it. The drinks were also so surprisingly unique. Highly recommend coming through!
Oliang was a solid thai restaurant with excellent food and desserts. We got the mango drink, sticky rice with mango, pad ka prow, and the khao soi. I would recommend all of them. Service was nice. You probably want to reserve in advance. One thing that bothered me was the noise. The tables are placed very close to each other, and there’s music and can hear the cooking sound. So if you prefer a quiet environment I would recommend ordering online or visiting during lunch. Other than that our experience was good.
Olivia made our experience, seamless, full of smiles, and for sure tasty. The khao soi is her favorite dish, and every single bite of it was phenomenal!! We ordered it mild and I’m personally a fan of chilies and I had some very fun red chili on the side (quite the floral heat experience from the chili). Pictured here is the Thai iced tea, fun glass, and the finger combo. Advice: come with an appetite, order two entrées. look for olivia. She’ll ensure a great and memorable dining experience!!
We got the cha yen, jasmine iced tea, crab rangoons, pad si ew, and the yellow curry! The drinks were so yummy and the meat in the pad si ew is to die for!!! This Thai place is my absolute go-to and highly recommend, also our server Alex was amazing. He was so sweet and nice!!😌✨
So happy to have found this place. This is the best thai food I’ve had in Chicago. I almost don’t want to write a review because I don’t want to it to become so busy I can’t get a table here anymore, but they really deserve the 5 stars so here I am. The place is also really cute and the service is friendly. We had the panang curry, the khao soi, finger combo, lychee green tea, oliang and the mango aloha. Everything was great.
