16 Best Thai Restaurants near South Elgin

“Food was amazing! The best Lao food in Chicagoland. Service was great. The restaurant really has a cozy, homey feel. If you’re not sure what to order, or are new to Lao food, the staff is very friendly and can recommend something perfectly suited to your taste. I got the Nam Neung platter and had so much fun making my own wraps! The Lao beef jerky strips and sticky rice are bomb!“

“We ADORE this place! Every time we walk in, it feels home-y, warm, and welcoming. The atmosphere is so bright and vibrant and really makes me want to stay every time we order out. It’s a refreshing place to walk into during the cold grey Illinois winters.

The food is incredible! We LOVE the Massumun and Panang curry - so flavorful, always hot, and lots of chicken. Some other bangers on their menu is the Pad Woon Sen, Pad See Eiw, Pad Lard Nar, and the Rama Noodles Delight.

But out of everything - you HAVE to get the Panang Noodles - the curry is delicious and velvety and the noodles are just the slightest bit crisped around the edges which makes for a great bite that is always satisfying.

We’ve never gotten any other kind of meat other than chicken which is always plentiful and moist. We love this place and we have to stop ourselves from eating there every week.

The prices are also SO affordable. We just got curry in a neighborhood of Nashville for $24 which was insane and not even close to how delicious this humble shop is.“

“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 recently tried this Chinese restaurant and was impressed with the food. The chicken in garlic sauce was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and had just the right balance of savory and garlicky kick. The crab rangoons were crispy on the outside with a creamy, delicious filling definitely.
The only downside was that the food took a bit longer than expected to come out. However, the quality and taste made it worth the wait.“

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