50 Best Thai Restaurants near Forest Park

“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.“

“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!“

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

“This is my fav Chinese food spot around town. Their tofu is cooked well and everything always tastes great. Service is pretty quick too. I think most people order takeout but dining in is pretty chill too. Also, their prices are pretty reasonable. A lot of food that I usually end up taking home.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Some of the best Thai food in the city. Our favorite dishes include their mooping, chive dumplings, satay, pad Thai, and all the curries. The curries aren’t overly sweet like I’ve tasted elsewhere, and their pad Thai has just the right amount of tamarind to make it legit. Thank you for high-quality Thai food, R Haaan.“

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

“The food was amazing and the service even better! We got Red curry, Basil fried rice and Khao Soi for lunch, and we loved the food so much that we ended up getting Pad Thai for later. The food was authentic and homely. Definitely recommend coming here. Try to make use of the lunch special prices Mon-Fri.
Lastly, Eric was great. Patient with our every needs and professional with the service. Thank you!
Will definitely come back to try other dishes!!“

“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.“

“Love at first bite!

I can't say enough about how well both lunch specials tasted. Peak level of flavors and a warm touch of authentic family cooking. The pad thai sauce was amazing and an instant recommendation. The Pad kee mao noodles texture were tender and bouncy. The spice was above medium and enhanced the meal. The teas had a balanced sweetness and plenty of textures.
The music playlist matched the cozy and bold color pops. The staff were very friendly and offered some samples of the delicious Ube ice cream. Over all my new favorite Thai restaurant and will explore more of the menu.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant yet but we order take out almost weekly. We recently moved to the suburbs from Chicago and have been disappointed with the Thai places we’ve tried. We’ve finally found our go to place to order from! Food is always delivered still warm and fresh. You can choose your spice level and even the medium be quite spicy so order accordingly. We love this place and hope it stays around!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing Thai food

The customer is very home welcoming.

The owners and the place are
very nice. People.

Best Thai food I've tried all over Chicago and I've tried almost every Thai food“

“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!“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“Delicious food & cocktails!“

“Huge fan. As Americanized Thai places go this is tops. When I order spicy, I get it. I enjoy their take on salmon nicoise, with a beautiful dressing. The curries are very good. I would like to know if there is a hidden menu where unamericanized Thai exists.

Vegetarian options: You can get almost dish vegetarian“

“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.“

“We stopped by looking for a good meal and we found this gem. The decorations were amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. We had fried tofu and edamame for appetizers and everything came out quickly and efficiently. The fired tofu had a satisfying crunch with every bite and was not overly greasy like other places. Main course was Chicken teriyaki don, the chicken was flavored very well and the meal came together with the sauce. It was a beautiful balance of flavor and texture and we left very satisfied. We are looking forward to our next visit!“

“I have been here many times and with all of the Thai food options in this neighborhood and the surrounding area, this place is the best. The food is fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful with standard options and more regionally unique options as well. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing!!! I would definitely recommend this place…“

“From Delaware. Differently a great place to eat!“
