15 Best Thai Restaurants near Elgin

“Hidden on the busy corner of McLean blvd and Bowes rd. Is a pretty decent Thai restaurant. The decor is kind of basic, but the pad Thai and crab fried rice was very good. The rice had a nice fluff and perfectly done texture to it. The pad Thai noodles was cooked perfect, not soft and squishy like a lot of places.“

“I'm vegan, and I got delivery from here on a whim, because they had vegetarian options and I wanted to try a new place. I'm always reassured when a menu has labeled vegan items, so I figured this was a safe gamble. I got the eggplant garlic sauce and it was one of the best eggplant dishes I've ever had. The salt and pepper tofu wasn't what I was expecting, but it was also super delicious. The vegan pho was fine, but I'm not a big pho person to begin with. Plus, the portions are quite generous so I can nibble on it for a few days!“

“very good food, very fresh, great service and wonderful experience!“

“Finally a great local Thai restaurant. The food was fresh and amazing enough for me to write a review. I believe everything was made from scratch. Everything was fresh and delicious. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!“

“I had a really enjoyable meal. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, and the menu offers a great variety of Thai and Lao favorites. We started with the spring rolls, which were fresh, crisp, and served with a tasty dipping sauce .The drunken noodles were a standout—packed with flavor, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced with veggies and noodles cooked freshly.

Another highlight was the papaya salad. It was refreshing, and tangy.
Honestly, it was one of the best papaya salads I’ve had in a while. The Panang curry with tofu was creamy and aromatic, a comforting dish that paired beautifully with steamed rice. The tofu soaked up the curry flavors nicely, making every bite delicious.

I ordered a cold Thai tea, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing—perfect alongside the spicier dishes. Overall, the food was flavorful, portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly prepared. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting , with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options.“

“Completely authentic. Great service“

“Just discovered Bankok Thai Express two weeks ago and can’t get enough of this wonderful Thai food. We are trying something new every other day. Impress with the freshness of the vegetables. The thin sliced pork tenderloin used in the dishes is lovely.
There is only 3 booths for in house seating. We usually dine in although we have ordered takeout on two occasions when we had houseguests

“The Rama noodles delight is truly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten! I’ve ordered it so many times and it’s never once been bad. So many fresh veggies and the noodles and sauce are delectable! One of my favorite things to order from here. The fried shumai are super delicious too and the sauce they come with is phenomenal. Love this spot!“

“I've eaten at many good sushi spots and this is one of my absolute favorites for so many reasons. Everything is sooo fresh, portions are large, and the staff is great(ask for Liam, he's the best)! Liam is especially great to making sure kiddos have a great dining experience too and is very attentive.“

“09/2024 update, was having a rushed day so i online ordered....so distracted that i ordered it wrong!! By the time I realized my husband was already on hisway to get it. I called and said have you already made it? They said yes, why did i ask. So i explained what happened, but told them i wasn't upset as i like what i accidentally ordered! They said "ok". You guessed it, it was remade by the time my husband got there. How nice is that???
Everything is amazing . First off they are so excellent with the covid situation. We got the egg foo young there because because our no longer favorite restaurant was closed. Thank heavens they did. I have NEVER had such a light and delicious egg food young in my entire life. It's do good you're afraid to try anything else!Then I find out they have curry?? Holy crap. Fresh veggies and the mushrooms, the chicken incredibly moist and delicious. My son had the kimchi, husband the sweet and sour chicken. We got the dinner specials, which, of course was a huge amount of food...egg rolls perfect, egg drop soup amazing, the chicken fried rice so yummy ?. All of it under $30. Great food great service.“

“We finally tried Chinese from Yes, wow! we will be regulars from here on!! Great quality food, everything we tried was amazing!!!“
