50 Best Thai Restaurants near Melrose Park

“I love this place.! The food has always delivered for me. I have been ordering from this place for a long time now. That being said recently I have noticed that the smoky chicken that I absolutely love from this place (no other place around me seems to have smoky chicken option) has had a bit of a texture change from how it used to be sometime ago. It seems to be a little more fried/crunchy rather then tender which is where it is the most delicious. I can't describe it exactly but I know it does not have the same texture as it once did. It is still very good regardless and I will continue to get it but I hope this gets seen and maybe offer some kind of explanation but I recommend this place!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ASAIN PLACES. I went to this place randomly one day cuz it was close to me and let me tell you it has become one of my favorite places ever the food is 10/10 my favorite dish is the Thai fried rice it’s soooooo good. I recommend this place to all my friends and family. Even post about it online any chance I can get. I come here maybe once a week. I can’t tell you how much love this place“

“Delicious and fresh Thai food that can’t be beat! The crab Rangoons are the best around, the Real Thai roll was so fresh and absolutely mouth watering delicious! I always get pad Thai and it’s truly one of the best I’ve had! And the Tiger Cries entree is phenomenal!“

“It’s not every day you see a family-owned restaurant that's been around for 40 years. They are currently doing takeout only but if they've been around for that long, they must be doing something right. And unsurprisingly, the food here was just as good as some of the most highly regarded Thai restaurants in the city. The spice levels and flavors were undeniably authentic.

The pad kee mao was nicely charred and the noodles were satisfyingly chewy. The nam tok had smoky grilled beef in an incredibly addictive sauce and sprinkled with a generous amount of toasted rice. Pla koong was a particularly interesting dish. It has the same sauce as the nam tok but was additionally loaded with various herbs, making it much more refreshing and complex. The shrimps were slightly raw in the center almost like ceviche. Texturally, they were softer and more flexible, with more of a chew rather than the firm snap of cooked shrimp. Flavorwise, the natural sweetness of the shrimps came through much more clearly. The papaya salad was alright and ended up being the weakest dish of the meal.

I have seen they occasionally hand out watermelon when it’s in season. Now I have another reason to come back and test my luck.“

“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.“

“Thai O Clock rocks! Banging food. Nice cozy environment. Reasonable prices. If you’re on West Peterson, give it a try.“

“Pleased to see an authentic Thai restaurant here. They have diverse dishes that take risks with Thai spice-level and ingredients like strong Thai fish sauce. While the spice was not spicy enough, it was still delicious. I won't order often (I am from NJ) but when I am in the area, this is my new go-to in the Rosemont vicinity.“

“Words cannot give this food justice! I’ve been in the city since 2014 searching for my go-to Thai spot and I FINALLY found it last night after my friend suggested it. The service and friendliness of the staff were top tier and every dish we had was out of this world. What a gem of a place. The flavors of the pad thai were unmatched, and don’t even get me started on the custard taiyaki with ice cream. This chef’s talent is unmatched. Can’t wait to come back and to order for delivery and pickup too!“

“Stopped there on our way to AllState Arena, amazing food, and such a kind owner! Super clean and beautiful inside! We had a vegetarian in our group, and this little gem had so many options for her!“

“Delicious food! The service was very good and the space was welcoming, clean and comfortable. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. Very tasty sweet and sour stir fry and fresh spring roll. Would recommend 10/10 and will come again to try the pho and other dishes in the menu. Thank you for the hospitality.“

“I ordered the khao soi chicken and was really impressed. The broth is creamy and richly spiced with curry and coconut, and it tastes authentically prepared. The dish comes with one piece of chicken, and while the portion is reasonable, I’d recommend ordering a large if you have a bigger appetite. The flavors are excellent and definitely worth a try. I’m also curious about their boat noodle, which unfortunately wasn’t available during my visit due to their rotating menu, so I’ll definitely be coming back to try it next time.“

“We enjoyed their amazing food and the friendly waitress who even anticipated our needs. The environment was clean and welcoming. It was my first time there, and I would recommend it HIGHLY to anyone looking for a pleasant eating experience. I can't praise it enough!!“

“I got the yellow curry and it was amazing! I was in the mood for thai and tried this spot randomly and it did not disappoint. The servings are huge, perfect for leftovers. We also got the chicken satay and it was big juicy pieces of chicken. Can't wait to come here again.“

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

“I’m certain I’ve tried almost everything on this menu. Today I tried the Penang curry and it was absolutely delicious! I had a bit of extra sauce left over so I dipped some fried chicken in that. Probably one of the best ideas I’ve had. I’ve never had bad device here. Everyone is so nice and friendly! This is one of my favorite Thai spots“

“อารหารอร่อยไปอุดหนุนกันนะคะ ลองชิมดูจะคุ้มแค่ไปหน“

“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!“

“Nice low key spot, very nice service“

“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“

“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!“

“Casual, affordable place. I had the wide noodle Pad Thai with tofu and it was good. Friendly customer service and no pressure. Go here if you want to relax and have some decent food. I've been here a few times. Oak Park is charming as well.“

“Surprisingly very good for a suburban Thai restaurant. The pad kee mao was one of the best I've ever had. I got it with the crispy noodles which were good but I didn't expect them to be super crispy, like a tortilla chip. I thought they'd be a mix of soft and crispy like I've had in other Thai restaurants. Next time I think I'll get the regular soft noodles.“

“I love the taste of Thai food here and the warm service.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious food & cocktails!“

“I dined at Neko Sushi and tried their tuna and avocado fried rolls, and they are the reason I’ve already been back three times in the past two weeks since finding this neighborhood gem. My fiancé ordered the shrimp in a blanket and they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I had the ramen both times and it was absolutely delicious. My fiancé tried the pad thai with shrimp on one visit and the basil shrimp fried rice on another, and both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Neko Sushi has quickly become one of our favorites. Everything we’ve tried has been consistently fresh and tasty. Oh and they are BYOB!“

“Delicious food, very friendly staff. One of our faves!“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“Delish and very fresh! So yummy!“

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

“I love the the taste of their fried rice level 10 spicy and their Mongolian beef. Out of all the restaurants I've tried in belmont cragin this is my top one. The flavor of their food is delicious. 1 order of rice and a protein is good for 2 people.“

“A few years ago I didn’t know about this place but my sister recommended it. Now my family and I order pick up 1 or 2 times each month. The owners and staff are always super nice and the food is fantastic. I recommend supporting this local Des Plaines business. It’s two doors down from the new Giuseppe‘s location for reference“

“I tried Bambu for the first time. I was pleased with egg rolls. I typically only like them with some protein, but these were accurately described in the menu and good for vegetarian. The Thai dish with chicken and eggplant was really good!“

“I met the owner he was very personable and professional. I got my food delivered and I might add it was just as good as if I was Dining in. I got pineapple fried rice cooked with ingredients just like I like it and it was delicious. I also got Tom Kha soup and crab Rangoon’s they were good as well. Thanks again for having great service Mr. Penny“

“Excellent Thai food prepared fresh and served“

“food is good, with a nice variety on the menu...only problem tonight was that the food took 2 hours for delivery...and the only thing the driver said was that they were busy...“

“First time ordering Thai food and it was delicious. A friend posted on facebook how good it was so we tried it. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“Mama Thai was a lovely experience. I had the appetizer plate and the Pad See Eiw with shrimp and beef. Topped it with some peanut sauce, delicious! The service was great. And had a nice conversation with Ruti(sp?). She's a sweetheart 💓 Looking forward to returning.“

“This cute little spot nestled in the heart of Norwood park steps from the train station is a hidden neighborhood gem. One of the best Thai food places in the area with staff that is really friendly complete with a cozy dine in area with BYOB option for a fun night out with friends or family. I am a long time native of the area and have seen restaurants come and go and I have to say I am so pleased that Nan and her family's restaurant is a mainstay . It is important to support local business and I am proud to give a shout out to one of my favorite places to eat in the area. The green curry is one of my favorite. They also have a great selection of rolls as well. Great lunch menu options and a staff that remembers your regular order and greets you with a smile every time.“

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

“The first time I ever visited Ruk, the owner was incredibly nice and offered many recommendations on things to do, sights to see, & places to go as I’m not local to the area. We chatted for a while and I enjoyed the cashew pad Thai I ordered with peanut sauce. Going back year after year, Ruk is a staple for dinner the night I arrive in the city. Always nice to catch up and relax there.“

“Amazing authentic Thai food. Great value for money. My go to restaurant every time I am in the area.
Amazing Pad Se Ew, sauce is great, broccolis are not overcooked as they should be, allowing the extra crunch factor instead of a completely soft vegetable.
Wonderful chicken satay paired with peanut sauce and a dish of cucumbers, a good combination.
The Pad Thai was delicious, portion was plenty for me. Spiciness well suited my taste.
Overall, excellent food and service!“

“The food is high consistent quality, delicious, and good portions. I love this place, my only complaint is that they close at 8 on the weekends. I always want to order from here around 9pm.“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“I love this place. Especially the one on Irving park always good food, service and environment.“

“I guess the years have changed Harmony. This was always my go to spot, but today something changed. The food took forever to arrive, the taste was no longer on point and the whole atmosphere just wasnt right. Im sorry, its gone backwards and the paper towels overflowed the men's room.“
