50 Best Thai Restaurants near Northfield

“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!“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

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

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“I love thai food and have been to many different places. This Thai restaurant has to be by far one of the best restaurants and food I had ever had. The customer service was phenomenal; the main server was highly attentive and polite. I loved their pad thai; literally tasted perfect compared to other pad thai dishes from other restaurants. My friend and I ordered their pork pot stickers as well, and they were absolutely divine. The dough was almost sweet and it paired well with the sauce and pork given in the dish. Do not even get me started on the chicken satay. The marinade and peanut sauce for this appetizer exceeded my expectations. Super juicy and flavorful. Overall the food plus the atmosphere was amazing; if I could I would give this place more stars. Thank you Rice and Noodles Thai Food!“

“I ordered takeout since my husband and I were working from home. We both got the Pad Thai, mine with tofu and his with chicken and beef. We really loved it! The portions were generous, especially the protein, and everything was full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back next time and plan to dine in!“

“We had an absolutely perfect Monday night dinner for two. Getting a reservation was easy and we felt immediately welcomed. Kanlaya offers an intimate and comfortable setting with friendly, personable service from the owner (and chef) herself. Her love and care is very palpable and helped set the tone for a wonderful dining experience.

The food was perfect: well balanced and delicately flavorful with deceptively large portions and beautiful presentation. I've had a fair amount of Thai food over the years and this is among the absolute best. My only regret was not being able to try everything that caught my eye the first time around.

Very highly recommended.“

“Having wanted to dine here. Finally did! Wow, amazing cuisine.“

“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!“

“The spicy basil curry had the best balance of heat without overwhelming the flavor, and the portion was just right. It was really loud, but I can't exactly blame them for some unruly clientele or being busy. It's a great alternative from Herb if you want tasty food without breaking the bank.“

“Rice Thai is an excellent restaurant run by wonderful people that I discovered by way of an annual conference that I attend each summer. Last year, I brought a group of about ten people from that conference to Rice Thai for dinner, and we had a fantastic time: great food and very friendly staff who did a great job welcoming and feeding several groups of conference attendees. Although I was not able to dine during this year's annual trip (with another group of ten), the owner remembered me from last year and we had a nice conversation while they finished packing our food. I had called ahead, and they had tried really hard to accommodate us for dine in, and I really appreciated that. My group had such a great experience that we were determined to at least enjoy their take out. As with the previous year, the folks at Rice Thai cooked delicious food. I will be visiting again next summer, and I know that I can count on meeting very good people and enjoying a great dinner whether we dine in or take out.“

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

“Good food. ❤️ the staff. Local eatery 10 minute walk from my house.“

“Been going here for a very long time. owners are great , food is amazing. Chicken Larb is very good. Nam Tok. They make a very good Thai coffee“

“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.“

“Ben’s is my go-to Thai restaraunt. I’ve ordered takeout from them loads of times and have always been happy. The portions are generous and I feel it is a good value for my money. My favorite is the chive dumplings (although they stick together so I wish they would package them differently). They also have a weekday lunch special that is a good deal.

I saw someone mention how they didnt like their food and had a problem with the to-go cups having a lot of ice in it. I believe they freeze the styrofoam cups with water so there is a cup-shaped large ice cube in their to go drinks. Simple solution is to ask for no ice :)

I’ve never dined in, but it is your standard small hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant with just a few tables. No frills. Good food.“

“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. �“

“First time here! Everything was delicious.“

“Fine dining love there food come here to eat everyday excellent service and feels like your at home“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“order:

⸻

I ordered the Red Curry Chicken for takeout and it was outstanding. The curry had a rich, creamy coconut base with just the right kick of heat, and the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were fresh and still had a nice crunch, and the portion size was generous enough for leftovers. Even after the drive home, the food stayed hot and flavorful. I’ll definitely be ordering this again! and most of it it’s Halal. Will def be back. Tysm!“

“We enjoyed Beyond Thai restaurant. The owner helps on the dining room. The food is prepr bcdf ared fresh. We had crispy egg rolls, tom yum soup, delicious seaweed salad with cucumbers, and salmon fillet with rice topped with a large mound of fresh Asian style vegetables. We had tasty Emerald noodle dishes and pad see eiew.“

“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😋“

“My husband and I haven’t had thai food since our honeymoon in Thailand, and this place hit the spot! The khao soi was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Tom Kha (his favorite soup in thailand) and it was the perfect spice level for him. We shared the crab egg omelet and that was also phenomenal. Highly recommended if you want a taste of genuine Thai cuisine.“

“Food was delicious! Wait staff super friendly. Came out quick. Had never tried this place before and we will definitely return. 8/10 recommend.“

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

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

“Lady behind the counter WAS rude so the comments are true but I think that’s just how she is(not that it’s ok) I called and asked for pananag curry she said “what meat you want?” I said “what meat do you have?” She said “WhAt mEaT YOU WanT?” .I said “chicken”So I said chicken. I went in and no “hi” or “ how are you ?” Just right away “23.50! HOW YOU PAY?” I said Apple Pay she said “23.50 don’t forgot tip okay?” Obviously I didn’t tip but chicken parang curry was good . Crab Rangoon was skimpy .“

“Recently had dinner at Paragon on Main street in Evanston. Our last time eating there was probably 15-20 years ago! It was a little later on a summer Saturday evening so the restaurant was a little quieter. We were seated in a comfortable booth and ordered a couple of dishes. Papaya salad (Som Tum) which was outstanding piled high and super fresh. Asked for it medium but it came not very spicy. Offered additional thai chiles which we sprinkled on and that did the trick. Perfect spice level and flavor.
Ordered MooShu pork which came already pancake wrapped (3) which seemed a bit odd....but was flavorful and very generous w/the protein. Also got a curry dish w/thai eggplant, peanuts & potato and our protein was tofu which was very tasty. Generous portion w/rice. Service was efficient and very good value. Would definitely go back to try other dishes.“

“Delicious and nice service“

“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!“

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

“Amazing Thai food

The customer is very home welcoming.

The owners and the place are

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

“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!“

“Cool.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best Thai food in town! Every time I’m in Chicago, no matter how far I am, I have to stop by. Their Thai basil chicken is my absolute fave—so good!! 🔥🍽️”

Any good here is all good! Thai fried rice! Curry!😍😍😍“

“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“

“Terrific food quality is the same as before when it was “ Opart ““

“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“

“Food here is very authentic!! Everything is so delicious. They have the best Chicken satay I’ve ever had.“

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

“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...“

“If you’re a fan of authentic Thai noodles, this place is a must-visit! Every Tuesday and Wednesday, they serve delicious and authentic Thai noodle dishes at incredibly affordable prices. The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced, just like you’d find in Thailand.

The restaurant is always bustling with customers, which speaks to its popularity and quality. Even when I arrived as early as 6:00 PM, there was already a line, and I had to wait for a seat. However, the wait is absolutely worth it.

I highly recommend visiting this place if you’re craving authentic Thai noodles. Just make sure to go early and be prepared for a little wait—it’s all part of the experience!“

“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.“
