31 Best Thai Restaurants near Highland Park

“Well... We did go in the middle of the day and were there from 3 to 5 so I appreciate that. The restaurant was clean and service was good overall but not exceptional. The food was good but not as much of a flavor punch you normally expect with Thai.“

“Going there for years! Best Cantonese food in North Shore!Great place , clean.Very friendly staff! Recomend to anyone who hasn't been there yet.“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“Wonderful place, the food is amazing! The staff is always so friendly!“

“This is located in Park to Shop. The food court area is pretty spacious. It’s one of the nicest looking food courts I’ve ever been to at any grocery store. Decoration is key. We ordered chicken satay, fish cakes, boat noodle, basil crispy pork, Thai iced tea, crab rangoon, and wonton noodle. Service was friendly. Overall, it’s a solid 4. I would go back but try more dishes.

-chicken satay 5 - chicken was very tender and well seasoned.
-fish cakes 3 - they were okay, nothing to wow you. I think the curry paste could be stronger.
-boat noodle 5 - it is served in a large bowl. The broth has a sweet and spicy mix. There is beef, noodles, pork rind, bean sprouts, and meatballs,
-basil crispy pork 3.5 - I feel like the pork was too crispy and chewy. I would have liked it to be a little bit softer, crispy, and juicy. No one likes eating tough meat.
-Thai iced tea 5 - standard, not watery.
-crab rangoon 5 - pretty standard. It had a lot of crab imitation and cream cheese.
-wonton noodle 5 - the wontons were very meaty. Don’t sleep on that broth, it’s very savory.“

“This restaurant was on my list to try in the area and my siblings wanted me to pick a dinner spot. We got here around 7pm on a Friday and it was just us for dine in. They had a few people order to go. We got the satay chicken and shrimp shumai (fried). They were so delicious that I wish portions there was more!! We got different entrees. I got the panang curry with shrimp and medium spicy-it had a little bit of a kick and delicious!! The staff were extremely friendly and the food was made fresh so there was a little bit of a wait. The prices were resonable. The environment is cozy for a small group of people (there's a few tables) and clean. I definitely want to come again to try the other items on the menu!!“

“Riquísima la comida excelente atención“

“It is a family run restaurant. Everything was delicious. We had chicken dumplings, chicken broccoli, chive dumplings(veg), papaya salad, tom yum soup, mango sticky rice, red curry tofu. Everything was perfect 👌. We will definitely visit again.“

“So, I stopped here after my post-op visit and ordered crab rangoon & orange chicken.
The crab rangoon is what I ate first, and as someone who has visited over three dozen american-chinese food selling restaurants in the Chicagoland area it is the best I have ever eaten. Really really spectacular. Incredibly tasty, strong flavors in both the filling & the sauce. Perfect amount of wrapping to filling. Will be coming here again when I'm in the area, just so I can get another set of them. I genuinely considered going back in and ordering another set when I finished the first but I had my orange chicken to eat so I sadly decided against it.

The orange chicken was next, and it was okay. I did enjoy it, but it came with onions (which I love) and bell peppers (which I hate) so I would've asked for it without the bell peppers if I'd known. Also the flavor wasn't as strong as I like, I prefer a strong orange flavor and a lot of sauce. This didn't have that, but it was the crispiest chicken I've ever had with orange chicken so that was definitely a bonus.
All in all, I'll definitely come back the next time I have an appointment here, mostly to get crab rangoon but I'll definitely be trying other things as well!“

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

“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!“

“The restaurant is cool and comfortable on a very hot and humid day. The restaurant looks good and smells good. Came to do laundry next door and found this by luck. I have lived on the other side of the world and I have been to Thailand multiple times. This food is excellent. We had teriyaki chicken and tom yum. The nice lady explained it was one of her first days while the owner is in Thailand on vacation. Hopefully they see this and know their restaurant is in good hands!“

“Awesome as always! Exactly what I ordered. Delicious!“

“Lai Thai is our go-to spot! Our family has been going here for over a decade. This is the only restaurant in the area that has stayed consistent in quality, price, and service. They treat you with the hospitality of family. I personally love the yellow curry, pad thai, panang noodle, chicken satay, curry fried rice, and also the mango panna cotta! So good! We love Lai Thai!“

“My favorite sushi place! Love their Spicy Salmon Maki! Nice cozy place.“

“Cool.“

“Wonderful restaurant. Good menu selection. service attentive and friendly. Definitely eat here when you can. Lemonade was delightful.“

“Good food with good asmosphere. I really recommend this restaurant if you are in a mood of craving yummy food!“

“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.“

“My first time ever having authentic Thai Food!

It was amazing! Not perfect, but cLose!

I had the Drunken NoodLes Spicy 10 with Tofu!

It was actually spicy. Needs just a little something idk. Maybe cardamom.

My picture doesn’t do it justice. And I can’t even finish. It’s so freakin yummy!

I rate it 9.3/10“

“Finally found my 1st great Thai place in Lake Cty since I moved here a year ago from Chicago... I tried them yesterday and looooved the eggplant with basil and basil chicken dishes... It's 30 minutes away but that's better then having to drive twice as long to the City for great Thai... I'll definitely be back again and try some of the other unique dishes they have to offer!! 😋🌶😋“

“For someone who grew up in Thailand, I always have higher expectations for Thai food. Thai Yasothon’s food is made with traditional presentation and spices, the portions are generous-fresh and well prepared. Always stop by here to support our friends Aom and support our neighbor hood restaurants. We did dine in many times and also catering at home, our guests love them😋“

“Great food (curry, fried rice, cashew chicken, satay, etc . . .) and service!“

“It is our favorite lunch spot! So friendly and very good food!“

“Food is delicious. Excellent service.“

“Over 20 years ago I started eating at their original Lincoln Park location. Today, their delicious food keeps me coming back time after time. It helps that the restaurant is staffed by the nicest people in the world. When I call for pickup they know my order (lad nar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes!“

“Aside from the delicious lunch, the service was great!“

“The dessert! And service!“

“Yum I feel like they changed there peanut sauce :(“

“I’ve been coming here for about 18 years, and this place has never let me down.

Everything on the menu is consistently amazing. The tom yum and tom kha soups are both incredible—packed with flavor and always hit the spot. The cucumber salad is super fresh, the pad see ew is done perfectly, and the lime chicken is one of my go-to favorites.

And you have to finish with the mango sticky rice—it’s so good.

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. It’s one of those places where everything is just consistently great every single time. One of my longtime favorites.“
