50 Best Thai Restaurants near Skokie

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice and comfortable ambiance & decor. Great food, tradition Isan cuisine, perfect seasoning, delicious and not like any other Thai restaurant in the City!!! The service is very friendly and attentive. Prices are reasonable! Definitely going back!!!!“

“Delicious fresh Thai cuisine. Staff is friendly and the space is beautiful!“

“Very yummy 🥰❤️👍 อร่อยมากๆคะรสเด็ดไทยแท้“

“Papaya Salad, Grilled Squid, Crab meat fried rice.“

“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!“

“Everything was incredible. This was our first time going and it was phenomenal. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and it was amazing, I tried some pad see ew, also phenomenal. The larb Kai was great, the service was on top of it and so friendly. The food was fast, inexpensive and delicious. Could not ask for more from a restaurant.
A bit of a small space, but very accommodating; I was in a party of five including a wheelchair user and they were tremendously helpful.
Will be going back.“

“Came in here on my lunch break and the server was very nice and attentive. The Thai iced tea I got was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the seafood soup I got was delicious. The prices were also good given the portion sizes. If I’m ever back in this part of the city I’m definitely returning here again“

“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!“

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

“We recently stayed in Andersonville and I was blown away by the gluten free options available. We got a chicken pad Thai takeout from Jin Thai, which turned out to be enough to share; flavorful, juicy, and delicious. No reaction from me, and I am a very sensitive celiac. Later we returned to eat in, and I enjoyed a delicious green curry with no ill effects. The staff are knowledgeable about gluten and I felt completely safe.“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best Thai food in Wrigleyville!!! Not to mention Chef Tee, Julie and staff are the best!! This is a must stop for us when we visit.“

“Eat Fine is a special place. Not only is their menu extensive and their food incredible, they really care about their community, the service is amazing and they always do whatever they can to help you out. But most importantly, their food is top notch. There isn't anywhere I know of that makes such delicious, fresh tasting Thai food, and I'm so lucky to have it in my neighborhood. You really owe it to yourself to visit.“

“Absolutely. Amazing. WOW!“

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

“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 dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“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!“

“The food is made fresh and so delicious.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“One of my longtime favorites!!! Glad they are open.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The Tom Yum was one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced, rich, and delicious. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Thai food!“

“I was in the neighborhood and made it just in time for their lunch special, between 11-1pm. I had the cashew chicken with a spring roll to start, and a Thai Ice tea. The server asked how spicy I wanted it and gave a choice between 1-5, I chose 4, but when it came out they had forgotten to add it, so he quickly took it back to add it. It was a chopped up Thai chili and the dish was delicious and fresh tasting. Can't wait to go back and try a different dish.“

“My friend and I went there to go eat. Our experience was FANTASTIC. The food was amazing ,very clean environment and the people there are amazing. 10/10 recommended to everyone!!“

“It is a small family-owned restaurant with nice decor and friendly staff. The food is all good, I personally like their duck basil, broccoli beef, and chicken satay best. They also have a variety of good smoothies!“

“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 ❤“

“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.“

“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.“

“The decor was austere and very zen. There service was prompt and attentive. Serene music. The food was excellent and you can have your spice level. The spring rolls were fresh with sweet and sour sauce and vegetables crispy, tofu satay crispy on the outside with delicious peanut sauce. My Massaman Curry with peanuts was creamy with potatoes cooked firm, not mushy. My friends had Panang, which they equally enjoyed. We shared 3 desserts: Mango sticky rice (mango was over ripe), Coconut ice cream (lacked coconutty flavor) and the Custard, which was overly eggy and if you're not into sweets, its perfect. Overall prices were reasonable. Definitely a recommend. Parking was doable.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed this place! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the portions were very generous. The food was flavorful and tasted really good. Everything we ordered was satisfying. Definitely a nice spot for Thai noodles — we’ll be back!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Bún bò siêu ngon. Rất là ưng ý 🥰🥰🥰“

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

“Such a good Thai place in Uptown!! The service was average but quick. The food was amazing. I had been craving pad Thai for a while and finally got it and now I’ve been wanting to go back to try more dishes. The menu was vast so there’s plenty to choose from. Would recommend“
