The food below is from the Zoku and it's location is Humboldt Park at 1616 North Kedzie Ave. Both Restaurants have online ordering and reservations from the weblinks.

And since the Thai and Japanese cuisine is ultimately all about the Food, I thought to include some very yummy pictures. My first Thai food experience was about 22 years since and I loved it and the food very much!
"Basically it is a drinking bar, a neighborhood bar where people can come and try the local beers of Chicago and the local food at a very reasonable price. I'm not here to make you spend all your money, I want everybody to afford and enjoy my father's and now my place. My son is young and he loves the bar and it is a family place, too." says Bob.
Dominque leans forward and say, "Except on St. Patrick's parade day. It is definitely a adults only. We open at 8.00am with breakfast included and you pay only $10.00 and you can come and go all day. Watch the parade, see the river turn green and have a great time. Yet honestly you would not want your child in here when they are partying all day at St. Patrick's day. They drink, and they have a very rowdy time. Bring them on Saturday or Sunday when we do brunch!" she says laughing, "AND WE HAVE GREAT CHICKEN WINGS."
And of course a lovely way for the men to find women! Ha ha ha. Very smart! Another item I loved about the bar and tell Bob is that my niece owns Maplewood Brewery in Chicago(or her husband Adam does) and Dominique and Bob start laughing. "Actually I love the beer that they have and that is why we have two on tap. And we had our Christmas party at the brewery pub, the Tap Room at Maplewood, so we know the brewery very well." I tell him I am supposedly the Green Spirit, since all of us are named after their beers, and Dominque and Bob say that at least I'm not the Charlatan, although the Charlatan is actually a very good beer. I say that perhaps I am if they talk about me behind my back and just don't actually tell me!
