“Great place, great food, great experience. We’ll come back for sure.“

“Best Thai in the Chicagoland suburbs for sure“

“I had an incredible dining experience at White Crane Thai and Sushi in Naperville! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home.

The sushi was absolutely amazing – the Rainbow Roll and Spicy Pacific Roll were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We also tried the Teriyaki Fried Rice, which was exceptional: perfectly cooked with a delicious balance of savory flavors.

The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. They were also very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations.

If you're in Naperville and craving incredible sushi and outstanding service, White Crane is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.“

“We love Montri Thai. It is close to home and has a nice variety of food. The staff are authentically nice and helpful. It is a small business, so sometimes there is a wait when they get really busy, but it is worth it. Staff really try to make everything right.“

“Completely authentic. Great service“

“I found this little gem when searching for Thai food in the area. I can tell you right now that the prices are more than reasonable for the ample portions they have. If you think Bua is even remotely expensive then you should try White Crane in Naperville. That place is way overpriced for the same food. Bua is tucked away in a small strip. Not a lot of traffic. We didn’t need any reservations when we walked in after 7:40 pm. We were seated right away. The owner is very friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and fresh. We ordered Thai ice tea, beef pad si-ew, tofu pad thai, massaman curry, and mango sticky rice.

-Thai ice tea 5 - very refreshing. I like the glass it came in.
-beef pad si-ew 4 - beef was tough and chewy. Not sure if it’s because we came in closer to closing time. The sauce and noodles were good. Noodles are a little chew.
-tofu pad thai 5 - noodles are chewy and sauce isn’t bland. Good amount of tofu pieces. Colorful dish with the sufficient amount of veggies.
-beef massaman curry 4 - not spicy. Very creamy. Could use a bit more flavor. Good amount of meat but beef was overcooked. A bit chewy and tough.
-mango sticky rice 5 - big pieces of mango. Sticky rice was a little sweet. Seasonal dessert only.“

“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!“

“We had Somsri’s Thai Cuisine for the first time tonight and everything we ordered was delish! The crab rangoons, basil rice, and massaman curry were fire! Definitely a new favorite spot close to home 🫶🏽“

“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.“

“Some of the greatest Thai food I’ve had and very receptive to dietary restrictions/special instructions. Being vegetarian has been super easy here.

The Pad See Ewe, Pad Thai, and house fried rice are staples in my house. Will definitely travel to get some if I move too far away!“

“อร่อย ๆ ทุกเมนู ราคาไม่แพง บริการดีเยี่ยม ต้องแวะไปชิมค่ะ“

“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!“

“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“

“Good food ,best staff 😍😍😍“

“We are new to the area and we’re looking for our new favorite Thai place, we found it last week! Food was delicious, service was great! Definitely will come back and bring friends with us.“

“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.“

“man, i love tai san chef😙“

“Food was excellent as always. Spicy was not very spicy, but I cannot speak for everyone. One slight miscommunication was cleared very quickly and the wait staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it, and I plan on going back.

Vegetarian options: Many options, especially for those who can eat fish and seafood. Tofu is an option for additional protein, and dishes without meat are flavorful and filling.

Dietary restrictions: A member of our party has a peanut allergy, and servers were very accommodating. Cross-contamination is quite low.

Parking: Parking is available around the corner in the parking garage on Jefferson Ave. Street parking is possible further up the hill, but quite difficult during busy times.

Wheelchair accessibility: No entry steps, but located on a hill. Maneuvering space is limited, but tables are low enough to accommodate. There is an elevated section by the windows, but other seating is available.“

“Excellent Thai food prepared fresh and served“

“All staff was friendly and the food was good. Clean and cozy environment - great little place to go to. Right across from Naperville Metra station so convenient if you have a wait!“

“Really great food! (Could have been less salty, but that seems to be prevalent in many restaurants. I’ll have to ask for lower sodium next time.) The restaurant is very nice inside. Prices are very reasonable and a bit lower than some other Thai restaurants. Lunch special M-F is a very good deal. Will have to do that next time! Folks that own and run it it are very nice and accommodating!“

“nice people good food clean place“

“Great food and people. Highly recommended!!!“

“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.“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a long time since I drive pass it often. Today me and my husband tried it the first time for lunch. Very very good. My husband is very particular when it comes to Asian food since he is Asian himself and has his spots in the city we visit. We ordered a few things to share and try. The portions are very generous and we ordered too much as usual but we wanted to try several things. We had the shrimp soup in coconut milk and veggies ( I can't remember the name). Very good. I would come back for that. Also we had the Papaya salad. To me, this was the only thing I probably wouldn't order again. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my husbands which is hotter and a few more things in it. Then we ordered a chicken skewer with a peanut curry sauce. This was great. Very tender and the sauce omg . I asked the server if he could bring a tiny little bowl with some pho broth to taste it. My husband is a pain in the butt about his pho in the suburbs. He approved of it. That's a complement to them then haha. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp Thai spice level. And omg yesss! So good. I can't wait to take my older son here, he will love it. My husband got the glass noodles with crispy duck. It was so darn good and the duck was perfect. Soft, crispy but not oily. We also had Thai tea. Very good. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“My boyfriend and I came in on New Years Day and we was the only 2 in there which was no issue. The food was EXCELLENT, wish there was bigger portions but the food was top notch. I do NOT eat sushi but I did this night because of my boyfriend and it was SO GOOD. Great job...will be back.“

“The BEST Spicy Tuna Hand Rolls on the planet!“

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

“Chinese food is on my top five favorite foods around the world. They have everything here Chinese food Thai food Japanese food. If you have ever been to Chinatown in downtown Chicago, we will truly appreciate this place. They have anything you’re craving on the menu so happy They are here As long as his restaurant is here, they have a customer for life if you’re craving Asian food this is the place to go if you’re in Naperville

Kid-friendliness: I came here to eat with my 10-year-old son on a father son lunch It was such a nice environment“
