15 Best Thai Restaurants near South Elgin

“I had a really enjoyable meal. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, and the menu offers a great variety of Thai and Lao favorites. We started with the spring rolls, which were fresh, crisp, and served with a tasty dipping sauce .The drunken noodles were a standout—packed with flavor, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced with veggies and noodles cooked freshly.

Another highlight was the papaya salad. It was refreshing, and tangy.
Honestly, it was one of the best papaya salads I’ve had in a while. The Panang curry with tofu was creamy and aromatic, a comforting dish that paired beautifully with steamed rice. The tofu soaked up the curry flavors nicely, making every bite delicious.

I ordered a cold Thai tea, which was sweet, smooth, and refreshing—perfect alongside the spicier dishes. Overall, the food was flavorful, portions were generous, and everything tasted freshly prepared. It’s definitely a spot worth visiting , with plenty of vegetarian-friendly options.“

“The Rama noodles delight is truly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten! I’ve ordered it so many times and it’s never once been bad. So many fresh veggies and the noodles and sauce are delectable! One of my favorite things to order from here. The fried shumai are super delicious too and the sauce they come with is phenomenal. Love this spot!“

“Went here for the first time today and the food was great. The Pad Thai slapped, the lunch special was a good value. What more do you want? 5 stars. I loved the portrait on the wall of the Thai military dude. Great ambience. It had a cigar and some whiskey under it to comfort him in the afterlife. Please do the same for me when I go.“

“One of the best, most friendly dining experiences I’ve ever had! The food was great, but the men working were even better! What a joy this has been! Steven J Stahl“

“I'm vegan, and I got delivery from here on a whim, because they had vegetarian options and I wanted to try a new place. I'm always reassured when a menu has labeled vegan items, so I figured this was a safe gamble. I got the eggplant garlic sauce and it was one of the best eggplant dishes I've ever had. The salt and pepper tofu wasn't what I was expecting, but it was also super delicious. The vegan pho was fine, but I'm not a big pho person to begin with. Plus, the portions are quite generous so I can nibble on it for a few days!“

“We finally tried Chinese from Yes, wow! we will be regulars from here on!! Great quality food, everything we tried was amazing!!!“
