Oak Park Berwyn ethnic?

[mjpd]

Any suggestions for dinner in the general area?

i am always sorely disappointed with all the restaurant options in oak park.
la quebrada on roosevelt in cicero is yummy, but very casual.

a disrecommendation - just so that you don't make the same mistake I did -- was Meditteranean 'Grape Leaves'.

Our all-time favorite.... Yum Thai on Madison in Forest Park. Great food, good portions, friendly service, BYOB - what more could one ask for!!

Wineaux - I am a regular at Yum Thai out of convenience. Do you have any recs I should try? Generally, none of the food I have had there has been anything more than 'ok.' I usually get a green or Penang curry (hold the extra sugar, extra spicy)
Tofu Pad Thai / or a Lard Nar
and then an appetizer (whatever sounds good at the time)
I haven't ordered anything from the 'secret' menu as of yet.
When I want what I consider better thai food (for the area,) I head up to Amarind's. What does Yum Thai do well that I am missing? I would love to find some great stuff there, since it is right on my way home from my gym.
