Low Risk

The health department has logged 17 inspections at Anong Thai, the earliest from 2010. The most recent report on file is from Jun 26, 2017. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Note that Anong Thai's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jun 26, 2017; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 14 times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
