Thai Urban Kitchen

Description
This 6,000-square-foot restaurant inside the bustling Ogilvie Transportation Center has convenience and affordability down pat, but is a little hit or miss with quality. Sushi—both nigiri and maki rolls—leaves much to be desired, but stick with the $12 two-course Thai lunch and things will be fine. Go with the crispy calamari over miso-dressed greens for a starter and try the massaman curry or the "lemongrass dish" for your entrée (beware that the latter is a scorcher). Basic breakfast is fine and fresh, and if recent visits are any indication, the room will be empty anytime before the lunch rush.
