50 Best Thai Restaurants near Elmwood Park

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !“

“This was my second time eating here but 6th time having their food - I think I have confidence in this place to be consistently good. So when I brought my family here visiting for the first time time, for dinner, I was rest assured. We had come in at 8, and put in our order by 820 - all vegetarian with veggies and tofu. 30 minutes go by (nearly closing) and they come back to say they’ve run out tofu. Understandably, we were disappointed. We reluctantly made the modifications to our dishes as it was too late to go anywhere else. 30 more minutes elapse and we’re wondering where our food was; lone and behold, the restaurant had gone out to procure tofu for our dishes. Despite the bad taste the first half left in our mouth, the second half of them going above to fix the issue and make incredible food made up for it. Will come again, but just will confirm the tofu availability beforehand ;)“

“Papaya Salad, Grilled Squid, Crab meat fried rice.“

“I love thai food and have been to many different places. This Thai restaurant has to be by far one of the best restaurants and food I had ever had. The customer service was phenomenal; the main server was highly attentive and polite. I loved their pad thai; literally tasted perfect compared to other pad thai dishes from other restaurants. My friend and I ordered their pork pot stickers as well, and they were absolutely divine. The dough was almost sweet and it paired well with the sauce and pork given in the dish. Do not even get me started on the chicken satay. The marinade and peanut sauce for this appetizer exceeded my expectations. Super juicy and flavorful. Overall the food plus the atmosphere was amazing; if I could I would give this place more stars. Thank you Rice and Noodles Thai Food!“

“Absolutely. Amazing. WOW!“

“Eddie and Ann have been serving up the BEST THAI FOOD in Chicago for over 40 years. Currently they only do carry out. Hours are 4-8pm. The food is always on Point. The owners are so happy to serve you. We need to visit more often before they’re Gone.“

“I ordered takeout since my husband and I were working from home. We both got the Pad Thai, mine with tofu and his with chicken and beef. We really loved it! The portions were generous, especially the protein, and everything was full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back next time and plan to dine in!“

“We had an absolutely perfect Monday night dinner for two. Getting a reservation was easy and we felt immediately welcomed. Kanlaya offers an intimate and comfortable setting with friendly, personable service from the owner (and chef) herself. Her love and care is very palpable and helped set the tone for a wonderful dining experience.

The food was perfect: well balanced and delicately flavorful with deceptively large portions and beautiful presentation. I've had a fair amount of Thai food over the years and this is among the absolute best. My only regret was not being able to try everything that caught my eye the first time around.

Very highly recommended.“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“Ordered the big pad Thai and the Blackhawk sushi roll. They had the food ready within 15m. It was delicious! The pad Thai is some of the best I’ve had in a while. And the sushi was fresh and flavorful, nicely rolled. Really happy with the quality and service! Definitely want to keep trying more on the menu!“

“Excellent food with the perfect spice level of my Penang curry. Food was fresh, attractive and delicious! Excellent service - our server even let us try a bit of Thai coffee- as neither of us had ever had it. I don’t ever drink coffee and typically don’t like it, but if I were to pick up that habit, I’d drink that stuff for sure-lol! Anna the owner checked in on us and was very attentive to all the guests. I highly recommend this place- and it’s byob!“

“Great food friendly service and reasonably priced“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“The food here is amazing especially regarding how many gluten free dishes they have. They have the largest gluten free dessert menu I’ve ever seen! So many delicious options that I just keep coming back. They also have a modern, but warm atmosphere that is delightful. This place is clearly a hidden gem and a must try!“

“I'm obsessed with Chim Thai cousin The dishes are expertly crafted, presentation is stunning, and flavors transport you to Bangkok!“

“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.“

“Eat Fine is a special place. Not only is their menu extensive and their food incredible, they really care about their community, the service is amazing and they always do whatever they can to help you out. But most importantly, their food is top notch. There isn't anywhere I know of that makes such delicious, fresh tasting Thai food, and I'm so lucky to have it in my neighborhood. You really owe it to yourself to visit.“

“This is the real deal. A must try gem in Forest Park, IL. Thank you for making my son's birthday so special. I can't wait to take my family to dine out at your place.“

“great variety of noodles and vegetables. the service was perfect, on a busy Saturday night.“

“Delicious food with great ingredients! See photo for more detail😄 Thai people are the nicest! Will return for authentic Thai! Just love ❤️ this place! Portions are plentiful and the taste just delicious! I have been ordering to go drunken noodles and paid Thai and eating 🥣 portions of both dishes! I have enough to eat a few days this way! One of the few delicious Thai restaurants!“

“Good food! What I like about Dena Kitchen there is no msg in their cooking!“

“Ordered delivery for the first time thru Uber eats and got the pork blood soup, moo krob, and fermented sausage omelette.
I was slightly disappointed at the portion size of the moo krob and fermented sausage omelette as these were $15-16 dishes and did not include any rice. It turns out that their Thai menu are side dishes that are best with congee, a specialty. I think if you dine in, this is better explained but as someone who looked through their website and ubereats menu, I did not see this at all. I didn’t realize that I was supposed to order the congee until after I looked up Instagram reels explaining Me Dee’s Thai menu. I think more menu pictures or explaining that it doesn’t come with anything else in the food descriptions would be helpful.
The pieces of fermented sausage in the omelette were very little in size and quantity. I was hoping to be able to experience the flavors a bit more so next time I’ll just get the fermented sausage on its own. The omelette itself was tasty.
The pork blood soup is a good portion and very meaty with pork blood, pork belly (the same that they use for moo krob), ground pork, and pork liver I believe. Per uber eats it’s a popular order.

I was hoping to experience authentic Thai flavors/uncommon Thai dishes as pad thai is very common in Chicago. However, disappointed at the cost and portion sizes. Pictures or explanations on the online third party menus would’ve been very helpful. I also had a papaya salad craving and surprisingly did not see it on the menu (or maybe I missed it idk). I’ll give it another shot in the future.“

“I have visited Bodhi many times and the food is always excellent. Also, the service is great! It’s cute and cozy! Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding experience. The atmosphere was sensory friendly with romantic lighting. Fun music but not too loud. Amazing food and service with very affordable prices. My jasmine tea was served in a gorgeous teapot from Thailand. Definitely try the tiramisu. Seems like maybe a takeout spot (at least on weekdays) but definitely worth dining in, too. Can't wait to come back. Thanks again!“

“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“

“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!“

“Food was very good but they didn't have soup spoons & also rice should always come with your meals. We order Tum Yum Shrimp soup but had to order the rice separately.“

“Took my husband here one last time to say goodbye to Chicago before moving states; this was one of our favorite places to eat when we began dating 11 summers ago. �“

“Very fresh sushi (banging hamachi 10/10. Tasted like fatty hamachi which I love.) and a very unique dish I have never seen before: fried salmon skin sushi (fabulous choice for people who don't eat raw food). Make sure if you like it spicy you say extra spicy cause they tend to dull down the spicy for most customers. If you don't they have extra spicy sauce on the side though. Very delicious noodles 8.5/10. BYOB! Beautiful restaurant. The front entrance foyer has tons of anime stickers like stickers to take wonderful photos in front of. The bathroom is clean and well maintained. Great for a date night (low lighting). Great entree portions“

“Nice low key spot, very nice service“

“Fine dining love there food come here to eat everyday excellent service and feels like your at home“

“My daughter and I stumbled on arriving to this restaurant. The environment was beautiful and it looked very elegant. The food was delicious. I told my daughter that we will return because we loved everything about this restaurant and want to try other food with my son too.“

“5 stars for sure! Their takoyaki balls and sushi are top notch! I’m in love with this place. Perfect for a night out“

“We seriously love Pinto Thai Kitchen . The owners are genuine people and the food is great! They are always donating meals to front line workers and contributing to the Evanston community. They have our support! Their fish curries are pretty awesome and their delivery is really fast!“

“First time here! Everything was delicious.“

“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!“

“Great service Lovely owner and team worker so friendly I’ll always go there because I feel comfortable and I the got the food out of menu too Love love love this place“

“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!“

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

“Food was delicious! Wait staff super friendly. Came out quick. Had never tried this place before and we will definitely return. 8/10 recommend.“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“This place is a great place if your in the mood for a thai/mexican fusion!! My partner and I ordered the drunken noodles, Al pastor tacos, Steak Nachos as well as the Thai-Chata. Everything came out delicious and decently priced for great quality food! Will 100% be coming back here“

“Food is fresh and delicious! Thai noodles were so delicious! Soup awesome with BIG Shrimp and wonderful coconut flavor! Will visit again!“

“Recently had dinner at Paragon on Main street in Evanston. Our last time eating there was probably 15-20 years ago! It was a little later on a summer Saturday evening so the restaurant was a little quieter. We were seated in a comfortable booth and ordered a couple of dishes. Papaya salad (Som Tum) which was outstanding piled high and super fresh. Asked for it medium but it came not very spicy. Offered additional thai chiles which we sprinkled on and that did the trick. Perfect spice level and flavor.
Ordered MooShu pork which came already pancake wrapped (3) which seemed a bit odd....but was flavorful and very generous w/the protein. Also got a curry dish w/thai eggplant, peanuts & potato and our protein was tofu which was very tasty. Generous portion w/rice. Service was efficient and very good value. Would definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“I can't believe I forgot to review Benny Thai. Their lunch specials are delicious and at such a great price! For $10-11 you get your pick off lunch dish, an appetizer and a can of pop. Try the Pad Kee Mao if you like your food spicy, and the Pad See Ew if you don't. You get two egg rolls if you pick them as the app and they are very tasty. Also, the employees there are very friendly and welcoming. Recommended!“

“A wonderful surprise in the neighborhood... everything was delicious and fresh“

“Amazing Thai food
