Noble Thai gets Chicago food service license on Clark Street
Rule Changes Chicago, IL localLicense for the Andersonville expansion follows inspections that passed with conditions
Overview
Noble Thai received a Chicago retail food establishment license on October 26 for 5721-5723 N Clark St., the Andersonville address where it announced a second restaurant in February. The license covers preparing food and dining on the premises with seating. Three city license inspections on October 20 each passed with conditions.
One inspection noted no written employee health policy on site and told the restaurant to keep verification for each employee; no citation was issued. Chicago does not publish restaurant opening dates, so the license record shows the city's approval for the address rather than a first day of business. Noble Thai's original location is at 1371 W. Chicago Ave. in West Town.
Why it matters
The license is Chicago's food-safety sign-off on the Clark Street address Noble Thai chose for its first expansion beyond West Town.
