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!“

“Very yummy 🥰❤️👍 อร่อยมากๆคะรสเด็ดไทยแท้“

“We have tried a lot of Thai restaurants over the years and R Hann is on another level. The food is exceptional and the staff is genuinely attentive and kind - the kind of place you want to go back to again and again.
A few of our favorites: the moo ping, Thai chicken wings, basil leaves, and khao soy. Order all of them. You will not regret it.
If you have not been here yet, go.“

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

“Portion sizes were larger than expected, and the crab rangoons are pretty good! I feel the pad thai noodles are lacking in flavor and sauce. I added more fish sauce and lime juice at home and it went from sad to decent but I'm not sure I'll order that again.“

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

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

“I don't understand why this place doesn't have a higher rating! The food is absolutely amazing. I love the crab fried rice and my husband likes their Thai basil fried rice. We travel all the way from the south suburbs to come here and they never disappoint!“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious! The best Pad Thai I’ve had in a LONG time! We also had the pineapple curry and a number of appetizers and everything was excellent! Generous portions of everything and service was top notch. Highly, highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“Passed by this place 100 times and finally decided to give it a try. Kept it safe with my 1st time order and tried the chicken pad Thai and the crab Rangoon. It was amazing!! So flavorful it packed a punch in every bite! I got medium spicy and it was the perfect amount of heat, food was fresh and came fast, no long wait times. I will definitely be trying more of their menu! Pleasantly surprised, you have returning customer for life! Great Thai Restaurant in the neighborhood!!“

“Had a really great experience at Me Dee Cafe. The food was absolutely delicious — authentic flavors, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Every dish came out fresh and full of flavor.

Service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of without being overwhelming.

Definitely a spot I’d come back to again 👍“

“Really good authentic food. These servers are meticulous and anticipated every need before we even asked. I dined with 5 friends and all 6 of us got different orders and all loved each one. I next found myself trying to figure out what I would order next time I’m there!“

“I had this restaurant in my list to try for a very long time and was finally able to try with some friends. This restaurant is tucked in the food court of Park To Shop (formerly Assi plaza). I ordered the basil chicken with rice and it's delicious-definetly in my top places to have this dish! The ground chicken was flavorful and I got the spice level in mild (next time I will try it more spicy). I do wish the portion size was larger but enough to keep you content. The price is fair for the dish! The food came quickly and the staff gives you a device that alerts you to pick up your food. Overall the environment needs a little more maintenance and up keep. The staff was okay-there were a few instances where she was rude when we were ordering our food and asking questions. Overall, I will definitely come again when in the area and order take out!“

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

“First time here! Everything was delicious.“

“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 .“

“Restaurant is so good and very economical. the pricing actually surprised me which is super rare nowadays. service is also so friendly! im not sure if its authentic because i’ve never been outside the americas, but i can say everything is absolutely delicious“

“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!“

“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. �“

“This place was so cute and the food was amazing! We got the chicken satay, Thai fried chicken, crispy basil pork belly and crab fried rice. My favorite was the crispy basil pork belly! It was incredible and flavorful.

I also appreciated the cute decor. It was very charming inside and felt cozy.“

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

“Can’t put a 1 star review, dud that I haven’t eaten here. But I made it to come all the way to this part of the city after wanting to try this place out for a while to find out it was closed even though is not noted on Google Maps, super disappointing.“

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

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

“Service 5/5
Walked in without a resy on a busy Friday night and was really impressed with the service. We were seated right away with a group of 3 adults and a baby. All of the servers were incredibly friendly, and even though the restaurant was packed, they were attentive, efficient, and friendly the whole time.

Atmosphere 4/5
The vibe is casual and comfortable, bustling with diners on a Friday evening.

Food 3.5/5
The grilled beef salad was a bit of a letdown—the portion of beef was pretty small, and it came out dry without that flavorful char you usually expect. The pad thai leaned sweeter than what I’m used to, but the noodles themselves had a great texture.

The standout was definitely the spicy fried rice—really well-balanced flavor and perfect texture. We also asked for chili sauce and were given two different kinds, both of which were amazing and added a lot to the meal.

Overall, I’d come back for the great service and decent Thai food!“

“Bún bò siêu ngon. Rất là ưng ý 🥰🥰🥰“

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

“Cool.“

“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“

“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😋“

“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...“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I was visiting my daughter and she ordered take out from Ruby of Siam. The order was ready on-time and the staff was very pleasant and efficient. I was pleasently surprised on how delicious the food was. She ordered 5 entrees from here and All of the dishes were outstanding. This was one of the best Thai restaurants I ever have ordered from. It is a must try if you are in the Highland Park area.“
