This is hands down the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to! I’ve tried Thai food in different places, even in other countries, but this one stands out. The Pad See Ew is absolutely delicious full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The sushi roll literally melts in your mouth. The tempura was big, crispy, and cooked just right, and the calamari came in a generous portion along with sweet potato.
My niece loved the soft shell crab her favorite dish! I highly recommend visiting this place; you won’t regret it. It’s also in a great location, close to the theatre area, making it perfect for a family day out. We came here right after church, and it was such a lovely experience.
The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It’s a family-run business, and you can really feel how everyone works together to give the best service. Definitely a must-visit!

Our experience there yesterday was very upsetting. The older woman serving us bumped into one of our party on 3 occasions. She also sneezed and wiped her nose over and over using the same napkins. Using it over and over not washing her hands running through her hair, not washing her hands and leaving her dirty napkin on the counter not disposing it in the trash. Our experience was one that will unfortunately will NEVER go back to and their food was actually very good. When asking her to wash her hands before bringing out the rest of our food she was very offended. I do not ever want to right a negative review but this was really disturbing.

We went here for lunch and the service was awful. The food was good but awful service. The employee who took our order was constantly sneezing and coughing and when we asked her to wash her hands she claimed to not understand what we were asking but then understood and washed her hands. Then she continued to cough in the kitchen. When we got the check, we had it split into two checks, one group of 3 and one group of 2. They then went on to add a 20% tip to each bill because they so 20% automatically for groups of 5 or more but even though our checks were split in to different groups of less than 5, they still added the 20% tip on to each check. We will not be returning.

Very good and filling lunch specials. Staff are very kind! Tofu Pad Thai is my go to and can be decently spicy if you request Thai Spicy.

This place was wonderful. For starters I had a cup of Spicy Miso Soup, coworker had a Beef Spicy Salad, we split an order of Gyoza. He got Pad Thai (Chicken) and I got Spicy Udon (Beef). Everything was delicious. Not sure when my schedule will bring me back this way but I will definitely come back when in the area.

Loads of vegetarian options, a gluten free menu, and the best friend rice we’ve found in Chicagoland. It isn’t heavy and greasy like most. They are careful when we clarify our order is gluten free due to allergen and will check with the cook to make sure food is kept safely gf. This is everything since cross contamination is just as bad as food with gluten where dangerous reaction is concerned. We feel taken care of and confident ordering here and are very grateful for their attention to allergen safety.
The sushi is a bit heavy (“wet” rice), but still okay, if not their forte. I recommend all of the fried rice dishes, love their pad-see-ewe cuz it’s loaded with Chinese broccoli and they cook their tofu well, AND the noodles are cooked beautifully. Never gloppy.:) Other gf/veg dishes are good, but the fried rice and wide noodles are the go-to dishes we usually pick.

Worse than grocery store sushi. Ordered takeout with my husband. Both rolls were terrible and felt warm. This was not due to a delayed pickup. The rice was overcooked and the fish tasted off. Also, $12 for 6 small rolls in a Maki order, overpriced.
Husband liked his Thai entree, but not worth the price.

Their crispy Pad Thai is one of my favorite dishes anywhere.
My husband and I recently dined at a fantastic sushi restaurant in Chicago, and I can’t recommend it enough! As someone who doesn’t eat seafood, I usually feel left out when my husband enjoys his sushi. I’ve called around to at least five sushi places asking if they could accommodate my unique request for what I call a “KFC Sushi Roll” (chicken tempura, avocado, and cucumber), only to be told to bring outside food if I can’t eat fish. But this restaurant was different.
From the moment I explained what I was looking for, they went above and beyond to cater to my needs. Instead of making me feel out of place, they created my custom roll without hesitation, ensuring I could have the full sushi experience with my husband. The attention to detail and willingness to accommodate my dietary needs truly set them apart. My KFC Roll was delicious, perfectly crafted, and made me feel like I was genuinely part of the sushi dining experience for the first time.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was inviting and warm. It’s a clean, family-friendly restaurant where we felt right at home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! This was our first sushi spot in Chicago, and it definitely won’t be our last visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone with unique tastes or dietary needs, especially if you want to enjoy a meal alongside seafood-loving family or friends.
A big thank you to the team for making our evening memorable. Five stars all the way! ?????

They offer both Thai and Japanese food. We got variety dishes. Chicken wings are amazing with sweet and a little bit of heat. Sashimi platter is a great deal!! Pad see ewe is also flavorful and good for kids.

Food 4/5: Shrimp in the Blanket didn't skimp on the shrimp, which was large. The same was the case for the Shrimp Pad Thai, which was sweeter than expected with somewhat gummy noodles. They thankfully were not oily as is often the case with competitors. Basil chicken, chop-chop (ground) style and at Thai heat level, was spicy without being overbearing. Portions were just right. To drink, blue raspberry Italian soda was sugary and bubbly until the ice took away that fun. Next time I'll drink it faster.
Service 4/5: a single server handled the small dining room promptly and efficiently. No small talk was available for that reason.
Atmosphere 3/5: The simple Thai eatery decor included dark wooden chairs and benches that were comfortable throughout the meal. There's outdoor seating in the summer.
Parking: There's a free Glen parking garage nearby where people can marvel at how badly the natives park in reverse with their oversized monster trucks.

Some of the best Thai cuisine I have had in a long time. The pad kee mao and Thai basil rice dishes had a great blend of flavor and spice. The staff was friendly and welcoming and didn't make you feel rushed. The restaurant was clean which always makes one feel more comfortable eating at any restaurant.

I ordered takeout from here - Cashew Entree and a Tamago Nigiri. Both were delicious. As a vegetarian, I particulaly liked that they really cook their tofu well. It was not just mushy and soft but had a nice hard skin on it. I will definitely be returning!
