Meet us where the stir-fries are sizzling and the curries are simmering
At New Pot Restaurant in Oak Park, you will find delicious, scratch-made Thai specialties and a smattering of Chinese dishes for good measure.
Start with a New Post Sampler Plate with pot stickers (steamed or deep-fried and filled with chicken, cabbage, and onions); lumpia rolls (deep-fried and filled with ground pork and veggies); egg rolls (deep-fried with chicken, cabbage, carrots, and bean-thread noodles); shumai (steamed or deep-fried dumplings filled with shrimp and onions); crab rangoon (deep-fried and filled with imitation crab meat, celery, white onions, and cream cheese); and crispy shrimp rolls (deep-fried and filled with ground shrimp, ground pork, celery, white onions, and water chestnuts). That’s a mouthful!
Then try to choose from the delectable selection of curry plates, noodle dishes, and stir-fries!
We love the New Pot specialties like the Roasted Duck Curry, which is boneless roasted duck, pineapple, tomato, eggplant, bell peppers, and basil leaves simmering in red curry and coconut milk. Or the Catfish Ginger, which is crispy, deep-fried catfish fillets with stir-fried ginger, celery, onions, mushrooms, and carrots.
New Pot is open Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 9:30pm, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 to 10pm, and Sunday from 5pm to 9pm.
Appetizers start at about $4 or spring for the sampler plate for $12.50.
Classic noodle dishes like the New Pot Pad Thai or the Yaki Soba are about $11 as are curry dishes like Panang Curry.
A New Pot specialty dish ranges from about $13 for a plate of Lemon Chicken to about $18 for the Volcano Chicken dish with strips of deep-fried chicken breast and steamed vegetables topped with sweet chili sauce and bell peppers.
Located at 727 Lake Street, New Pot is just steps from the Oak Park Stop on the CTA Green Line Train.
