24 Best Thai Restaurants near Darien

“I found this little gem when searching for Thai food in the area. I can tell you right now that the prices are more than reasonable for the ample portions they have. If you think Bua is even remotely expensive then you should try White Crane in Naperville. That place is way overpriced for the same food. Bua is tucked away in a small strip. Not a lot of traffic. We didn’t need any reservations when we walked in after 7:40 pm. We were seated right away. The owner is very friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and fresh. We ordered Thai ice tea, beef pad si-ew, tofu pad thai, massaman curry, and mango sticky rice.

-Thai ice tea 5 - very refreshing. I like the glass it came in.
-beef pad si-ew 4 - beef was tough and chewy. Not sure if it’s because we came in closer to closing time. The sauce and noodles were good. Noodles are a little chew.
-tofu pad thai 5 - noodles are chewy and sauce isn’t bland. Good amount of tofu pieces. Colorful dish with the sufficient amount of veggies.
-beef massaman curry 4 - not spicy. Very creamy. Could use a bit more flavor. Good amount of meat but beef was overcooked. A bit chewy and tough.
-mango sticky rice 5 - big pieces of mango. Sticky rice was a little sweet. Seasonal dessert only.“

“My most highly ordered dish is vegan Thai curry fried rice + Add fried tofu. It tastes good. But the only drawback is that I can't rely on consistency. Sometimes they add all stir fry vegetables.sometimes just peas n carrot. Sometimes rice is sticky. Other times it's really nice n fluffy. Sometimes tofu is really deep fried.Sometimes it is just sauteed.Pls maintain consistency.“

“Found this place about a week ago and nothing but raving reviews for it from everyone I've been with! Great yellow, red, and green curry. Loved their sesame chicken and appetizers (shrimp rolls, Thai spring rolls, and egg rolls)! Lovely owner and very friendly! The restaurant is family owned and has been in business for 20+ years! Amazing quality and flavors! If you love thai food, you'll love this place. I plan to come back again next weekend too, so good!“

“Excellent Thai food prepared fresh and served“

“Ordered delivery and it was impressive Thai food so a few weeks later we dined in at their location. It did not disappoint . One of the best Thai food I have had in the suburbs! One of the best Asian cuisine places for sure in the suburbs. This will be our new place to go for my family. The food is very good quality.“

“Delicious food & cocktails!“

“Tried this place with my husband over lunch. We started off with Thai Ice Tea, Veggie Spring Rolls and Crab Cakes. The starters were amazingly delicious. We then ordered beef pad Thai and Veggie pad Thai which were exceptionally tasty as well. The food was served super fresh and hot.

The service was great. There is plenty of parking space outside the restaurant. The ambiance was decent.

I would definitely recommend this place! MUST TRY! 5 stars food!“

“Nice low key spot, very nice service“

“Pleasantly surprised! Was in the mood for Thai food near Oakbrook and this was not too far at all. The food presentation was somewhat different than what I was used to as my Chicken Pad Thai had a somewhat reddish hue, but the taste was splendid. The included spring roll was a tad oily, but was tasty. The portion was larger than I expected for the lunch special. I would definitely go again.“

“First time trying them out. Ordered some apps, soup & entrees. Had to go back because they forgot to give us my husbands white rice. Mistakes happen, totally ok. We got home and tried everything and it was all so delicious. Will definitely be back soon!!!“

“Truly a beautiful small family business.

I come here a lot and I never see this place packed, but it should be. Sure, it’s not your charming dine-in experience. Makes you feel like you’re eating street food inside. Needs some help with the ambience but the food hits. Those women crank it out and it’s all delicious too. Best pad Thai around.

10/10 recommend“

“Price is amazing. Food is even better. AND it all comes out within 10-15 min within ordering full entrees. Their lunch special is also $10-$12 per person and includes apps. Literally the perfect restaurant for delicious, consistent, quick and greatly priced food.“

“Best Thai in the Chicagoland suburbs for sure“

“Great food and people. Highly recommended!!!“

“My husband and I have been coming for years ! The sushi is fantastic and our server Tami is amazing!! We request her every time. She already knows our favorite items and is always there to help with a smile. PS The Tuna dumplings are a must have !“

“This is an excellent restaurant! I mostly make smaller orders, but have used this place for catering as well. I have been impressed every time. The staff is very kind and generous. They go out of their way for you. The food is excellent. I have never been disappointed in a dish from this restaurant. It always arrives steaming hot and really quickly and to me that's worth a little extra for delivery. I highly recommend this place.“
