50 Best Thai Restaurants near Riverside

“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.“

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Crab Rangoon and chicken satay was great.
I couldn't decide between pad ke mao and panag curry, they had a panang wide noodle hybrid dish but it was more like thin panang soup Instead of A stir fry. I wouldn't order it again.
Service was great.“

“great variety of noodles and vegetables. the service was perfect, on a busy Saturday night.“

“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.“

“It’s a cute restaurant that offers indoor and outdoor seating. They have a selection of cocktails but I didn’t get to try it. We ordered these corn fritters which were pretty good. Something I never had before! The khao soi was okay. I thought the duck curry was better and had more flavor.“

“Cute little spot that is more than worth the effort to seek out. Wonderful staff all around and then there is the food. Simple menu with lovely flavors that leave you full and happy you made the choice to dine there. Everything is fresh and made with love ❤“

“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!“

“We came here after the festival, and it was exactly what we needed. The food was so comforting after a night of drinking. Back home in Thailand, it’s common to end the night with a bowl of rice congee, and this place gave me that same feeling. It really reminded me of those late-night meals back home. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!“

“A truly delicious and satisfying meal. I love that the flavors are so vibrant. We had the Yum Tuna Foo, a shredded crunchy fish salad with a tart and spicy dressing, dried pork that was juicy and flavorful with a sauce that was complex and tasty, a great papaya salad, and seafood sukiyaki which I’m still craving more of.“

“Good food! What I like about Dena Kitchen there is no msg in their cooking!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!!“

“One of the best places for authentic Thai. Absolutely delicious!!!!Coming back for sure.“

“This place has really, really good food. I stopped by here with two friends today and all three of us were super impressed with the quality of the food as well as the quantity. It seems extremely authentic and quite delicious! There weren't many customers, I think there were three customers. This place should be hopping. It's really a fantastic restaurant!“

“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.“

“My favorite Thai place closed years ago and I've been on the hunt for my new favorite Thai restaurant. I've finally found it!! Got pot stickers, pad si-ew chicken and kow soi chicken. The pot stickers are solid, you won't regret ordering them. I had the kow soi and it was so flavorful, my partner had the pad si-ew and said it was delicious. We ordered take out and it was packaged very well. I will be picking up food here anytime I find myself anywhere near Elmhurst.“

“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“

“The couple who owns it are THE BEST. They always remember my order (guess I’ve been a regular haha) and ask about my rabbit. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Def would consider casual dining. We ordered 7 different dishes all were amazing and tasted authentic. Not your typical Thai restaurant from my experience- lots of fresh herbs and unique flavors. Also food is very reasonably priced- will def visit again.“

“Everyone was friendly and good food.“

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

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

“I have probably been coming here for 15 years so I don’t know how it took me this long to write a review. The crispy Nomsod salad is my absolute favorite thing. I’ve never had anything like it at any other restaurant and I love it I also like the wide variety of appetizers, including vegetarian and vegan options I love the mussamam curry. It’s not a big place but it’s cute and cozy. It’s one of my favorite places.“
