Chicks Isan

Their Zabb wings are absolutely amazing! I miss getting their wings every Saturday after my daughter's dance class...

We had a great experience at this spot. We liked the wonderful atmosphere and the meals. The waiters are super affable. I’m content we ultimately managed to try this place.

Chicken wings were succulent and juicy but the seasoning they put on was way toooooo salty. Good heat but they need to take care with the salt.

Potential here.

If you like the real deal and authentic Thai food, then Chicks Isan is the only place. The taste is sOo flavorful and soOo mouthwatering especially the Isan style grilled chicken, grilled pork cheeks, larb moo, papaya salad, and the crispy rice salad! Hands down the best new addition to Dekalb Market Hall.

Visited Chicks Isan on Wednesday and easy to see that they just opened by how disorganized they were and that everything was served in these containers. Apparently they have a seafood restaurant in the city as well.

The first dish is called Larb Moo which is minced pork tossed with Thai herbs. According to the menu online and at the location for $9 it’s suppose to come with toasted sticky rice but the person swore that rice is an extra $3 bucks so I got jasmine instead. I did not know nor did the counter person mention anything about heat and boy was my mouth on fire ?. If we put my destroyed ??‍♂️ taste buds aside the food actually had pretty good flavors. I ended up eating only 1/4 of the dish and took the rest home to let my wife taste the fire.

The second picture is of a fried chicken wing I stole from a coworker they call “Zaab Wings”. Here you get a slight bit of heat on the back end with strong lime flavors. I wish I bought this instead as i was able to actually eat this and enjoy with what was left of my taste buds.

Overall the verdict is that it will be a good addition once the bumps are worked out and they get a control on there heat levels.
