Herb is a remarkable restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience, known for its fantastic Thai-inspired cuisine. The flavors of each dish are spectacular, thanks to the skilled and welcoming Chef Patty, who takes the time to greet guests and share her philosophy on the food. The restaurant has a warm and unassuming vibe, making it a quaint and quiet place to enjoy a meal. It caters seamlessly to vegetarian preferences and serves a variety of interesting and satisfying dishes, with beautifully presented plates adorned with bright flowers.
The hospitable staff engage with diners, offering recommendations and insights, ensuring a memorable visit. Diners have praised the friendly service, with many enjoying the popular 5-course menu, which allows guests to explore a variety of appetizers, soup, main dishes, and dessert. Standout dishes include the prawn, which many describe as amazing, and the mushroom soup, noted for its rich flavor. The five-course tasting with wine pairing is highly recommended, with each course delivering a burst of textures and flavors, especially the betal leaves/prawns/chive dumplings and the mushroom soup, which many consider the best dish in the city or even the world. The duck is often described as the best ever eaten, with flavors that are insane and unforgettable. The mango sticky rice provides a luxurious finish to the meal. Portions may be on the smaller side, but guests leave feeling satisfied, especially after indulging in the delightful mango sticky rice.
Chef Patty personally checks in with guests throughout the meal, and the friendly waiter creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes diners feel like they are eating in someone's house. The decor, while not as elegant as in photos, is very comfortable and elevates the typical neighborhood Asian place. Herb has been featured in the Michelin guide for offering some of the best Thai food in Chicago. The restaurant's spa-like atmosphere, with softly played jazz music and impeccable decor, adds to its charm. The prices reflect the high quality of the experience, and many guests find Herb to be a standout among fine dining options, often surpassing many other restaurants. Herb is a must-visit destination for those seeking healthy, exotic, and delicious cuisine, perfect for special occasions or a fun night out.
