“A solid choice for Thai food in the burbs. Even the ants love it! There was a tiny ant roaming around on my plate. It gave the food the thumbs up and I gave it a thumb.
Our waiter was very nice and friendly. We ordered the chicken with garlic sauce, pad see ew, and the fried catfish. All were really good. Besides the ant, and the constant flying of a hungry gnat, the dining experience was good. I'm not a fan of the sticky rice and mango, but my dining partners in crime enjoyed it. The chicken in my dish was somewhat dry, but I get it... chicken is hard! Pad see ew was solid though. Overall, a good meal.
BATHROOM REVIEW: Located in the back, past the kitchen, the bathroom was VERY nice. I think it was nicer than the restaurant dining area itself. Clean, modern, and pleasant, I'd sit on that bad boy any day.“

“Staff understand requests for vegan and is able to point out which items can be made vegan and which ones cannot. Food is delicious. I usually get the Pad Thai bc Pad Khee Mao/Drunken noodles are not on lunch specials menu. Hot sauce is seriously hot, indulge carefully. ? They have a lunch special on weekdays and Saturdays: entree, fried spring roll, and hot veggie soup. It's a nice mix and pretty filling. Updated from previous review on 2024-10-21“

“Pleasant atmosphere, we went for lunch and were the only family dining inside but noticed a lot of orders for pickup.
Big portions, reasonably priced.
Clean bathroom. Located in a strip mall.
Not the best Thai restaurant we've been to, but it wasn't bad!“

“To me, Thana Thai beats every other restaurant on the Lake. Everything on the menu is amazing and is super consistent. No matter how you feel about the price, to me it is worth coming back and is becoming my number one place for my favorite dishes. The Thai Fried rice reminds of my favorite place that closed down, and having found Thana Thai has filled a tremendous void.
Do not skip out on this place.
Vegetarian options: You can add Tofu to just about everything.“

“Seriously the best pad thai anywhere. Never had a negative experience. Can’t believe the ratings aren’t higher because this place is a GEM. The food is amazing. Cute and comfortable place to dine in, nicely decorated, though not fancy. We only wish they had an Arlington Heights location.“

“Bambu Thai Cuisine is a true hidden gem — a perfect blend of flavor, freshness, and hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly attentive without being intrusive, and the service is consistently excellent from start to finish.
Let’s talk about the food — absolutely outstanding! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with clearly fresh ingredients. The portion sizes are generous (seriously, come hungry or plan to take some home), and you can tell there’s real care in every bite. I especially appreciated how balanced the meals were — bold spices without being overwhelming, fresh herbs, and perfectly cooked proteins. You can taste the authenticity and passion behind each dish.
Whether you're going for a classic like Pad Thai or venturing into something new like their specialty curries, you won’t be disappointed. Even the sides and sauces feel crafted, not just added on. And for those who care about nutrition — it’s a refreshing change to find food this delicious that still feels wholesome and energizing. Everything tasted vibrant, not heavy — like it was made to nourish, not just fill.
The atmosphere itself adds to the experience — calm, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with subtle Thai décor and soft music that complements the meal without overpowering conversation.
All in all, Bambu Thai Cuisine is an easy 5-star experience across the board: amazing food, stellar service, and a vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. I’ll definitely be returning soon — and bringing friends. Highly recommended!Great food, huge quantities, great service tasty fresh nutritious.“

“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“

“Absolutely phenomenal Thai food with a side of condescending service. While the decor inside is gorgeous, we didn't feel welcome casually dining here. Do yourself a favor and order your food to-go, kick back at home with a cold beer and enjoy some fantastic Thai food.“

“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.“

“I walked in for pickup and ordered chicken pad Thai. It only took about 7ish minutes and they were really kind. Brought it back to my hotel and really enjoyed my meal. I got some spicy chili sauce to put on it, but was not as spicy as I hoped. Doesn’t really matter it all tasted really good. If you’re in this area I’d recommend grabbing something from here.“

“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!“

“Just recently moved to Bloomingdale. First time trying this restaurant. It was by far the best Chinese food we have ever had! Shrimp fried rice actually had a lot of shrimp. All the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be making this our go-to restaurant for Chinese food.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“
