44 Best Thai Restaurants near Des Plaines

“A few years ago I didn’t know about this place but my sister recommended it. Now my family and I order pick up 1 or 2 times each month. The owners and staff are always super nice and the food is fantastic. I recommend supporting this local Des Plaines business. It’s two doors down from the new Giuseppe‘s location for reference“

“The food is high consistent quality, delicious, and good portions. I love this place, my only complaint is that they close at 8 on the weekends. I always want to order from here around 9pm.“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“Great food friendly service and reasonably priced“

“My daughter and her kids enthusiastically recommended we all go here for Sunday lunch. The food was very good. There was a bit of an issue trying to get food my wife could eat given she has a few food sensitivities which seemed to preclude her eating here. But once we got it figured out, we had a tasty meal. The owner waited on us personally and was somewhat helpful with the limited options on the menu for my wife. He is a friendly guy who takes great pride in his restaurant. There isn't any atmosphere here. You go for the food and will not be disappointed.“

“Real Thai authentic food Thank you 😋“

“Riquísima la comida excelente atención“

“Food was really good
Excellent customer service
But really small food portion size for the price

Please make sure feed the customer for the money you charge. Nobody likes to go home hungry after paying the chunk of money for food bill.
Thank you“

“Excellent food! Atmosphere was modern. Staff friendly.“

“The best Thai food around. Any of their coconut curry is my favorite food I've ever had. Also their Pad See-Ew, that's a tie of my favorite food. I would beer bong the brown sauce straight and as for more. Unreal food and the service is always very kind when I can't pronounce the food. 10/10, I might move closer so I can get it more“

“Just ordered BNK today for carryout and was so pleased with the portion sizes and the food was so fresh and made to order! I'll be back!“

“order:

I ordered the Red Curry Chicken for takeout and it was outstanding. The curry had a rich, creamy coconut base with just the right kick of heat, and the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were fresh and still had a nice crunch, and the portion size was generous enough for leftovers. Even after the drive home, the food stayed hot and flavorful. I’ll definitely be ordering this again! and most of it it’s Halal. Will def be back. Tysm!“

“Delicious food, very friendly staff. One of our faves!“

“When you come in you feel right at home, with orange hues, warming smells and decorative pieces from the culture it can make anyone excited to see what taste will enter their palette.
Every dish you can taste the love poured into it. They are accommodating to any dietary restrictions such as gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and so on.
Thank you for taking me on this beautiful culinary experience.

Much love.
All is Victory!“

“A husband and wife duo cranking out delicious Thai food — we’ve been going here for years and absolutely love it. If there is ever a seasonal dessert, don’t skip it! The coconut cake is our favorite, but the keylime and pumpkin pie with sweet sticky rice are equally delicious. Highly recommend — come out and support a local business!“

“I like the Pad. Thai. And Garlic Chicken.“

“Food here is very authentic!! Everything is so delicious. They have the best Chicken satay I’ve ever had.“

“First time ordering Thai food and it was delicious. A friend posted on facebook how good it was so we tried it. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“food is good, with a nice variety on the menu...only problem tonight was that the food took 2 hours for delivery...and the only thing the driver said was that they were busy...“

“Cozy little neighborhood restaurant with very good Thai food. My favorite dishes here are the beef lad nar, and beef pad siew. The chicken skewers with peanut sauce is also noteworthy. The family that runs this place are the nicest people you will ever meet. Good food, excellent service.“

“Hands down the best Thai food in town! Every time I’m in Chicago, no matter how far I am, I have to stop by. Their Thai basil chicken is my absolute fave—so good!! 🔥🍽️”

Any good here is all good! Thai fried rice! Curry!😍😍😍“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

“Wonderful restaurant. Good menu selection. service attentive and friendly. Definitely eat here when you can. Lemonade was delightful.“

“I grew up in Brunei and their food is the closest i have felt to home. I ordered the Nasi Lemak, kuih lapis and roti paratha.“

“This cute little spot nestled in the heart of Norwood park steps from the train station is a hidden neighborhood gem. One of the best Thai food places in the area with staff that is really friendly complete with a cozy dine in area with BYOB option for a fun night out with friends or family. I am a long time native of the area and have seen restaurants come and go and I have to say I am so pleased that Nan and her family's restaurant is a mainstay . It is important to support local business and I am proud to give a shout out to one of my favorite places to eat in the area. The green curry is one of my favorite. They also have a great selection of rolls as well. Great lunch menu options and a staff that remembers your regular order and greets you with a smile every time.“

“Party of 2 Did all appetizers Very good Hearty portions Good service Would go again“

“I ordered the Pad Thai and it was absolutely incredible! The Pad Thai had the perfect balance of flavors—savory, slightly sweet, and just the right touch of tang. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and every bite was packed with freshness. Everything tasted homemade with so much care put into it.

The portions were generous, the food was delivered hot, and it was honestly some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon! Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic and delicious Pad Thai.“

“I love this place. Especially the one on Irving park always good food, service and environment.“

“Hands down the best tom kar soup I've ever had. The red curry was delicious with just the right amount of spice. It felt like someone's grandma was in there cooking. The service was amazing the staff was attentive all at a great price.“

“I arrived an hour before closing after googling restaurants that were near me and still open. The space is small and there is a column in the middle of the dinning space that really seems out of place. I ordered the basil chicken drunken noodles and although I wished they used more noodles, the flavor was definitely there! This restaurant is kind of out of the way for me but I'll be back to try more on the menu. If anyone reading this has a recommendation, please reply and let me know!“

“Clean and tasty, excellent friendly service and priced fair-ish.

I had the Pad Kee Mao w/tofu. The dish was steaming hot and the portion huge!

I ordered it “high spice” and well, that did not happen but that’s fine. I asked for chili paste. Just that most times food cooked with spices is far better than food with spice added on top. The tofu was excellent and plentiful. I did not taste any basil. Tons of fresh vegetables.

If I lived here I would come frequently. I would only ask them to use less oil because there’s a lot of glistening oil left over on the plate. For most people who pay attention: way too oily“

“Wonderful food and service. Will definitely be back“

“It is our favorite lunch spot! So friendly and very good food!“

“Very good and tasty food. Friendly service. Loved the sweet and sour shrimp..“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Yum I feel like they changed there peanut sauce :(“

“Over 20 years ago I started eating at their original Lincoln Park location. Today, their delicious food keeps me coming back time after time. It helps that the restaurant is staffed by the nicest people in the world. When I call for pickup they know my order (lad nar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes!“

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“omg i had the taro root smoothie the best smoothie i ever had!! food was great 2 I had the eggplant and beef“

“Everything was delicious 😋 the crazy noodles 🍝 amazing 😉 thank you 🙏“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“
