“You Nou what Thaim it is! It’s time for Nou Thai Street Food! Super tasty dishes with lots of flavor and spiced just right. Went 4 ⭐️’s but will go 5 next time as they do it legit. Proprietor was very friendly and attentive. Try the Thai iced coffee with coconut milk! 🥛🥥 🔥“

“Probably the best Pad Thai I’ve had - and I’ve had a LOT! Flavor was perfect, noodles and egg and chicken were all perfectly flavored and cooked! Ginger stir fry was also good! The Tom Kha wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was excellent! 🥰“

“We absolutely LOVE the food here :) Have never had a bad experience in 20+ years of eating here. Highly recommended!“

“This place was a pleasant surprise. My two buddies and I ordered four entrées and three appetizers. All the entrées were great. Especially the orange chicken and the pad see ew. The appetizers were solid, but not on the same level as the entrées. Service was very friendly as well. Definitely looking forward to coming back.“

“New to area and trying out places, the first visit here was a Pad Thai and was just okay, nothing bad just wasn’t as flavorful as was hoping for. Second visit was the Orange Chicken (Spice 4) and Tom Yum (Spice 3), both of which were very good. Chicken was extremely crispy and both dishes plenty of flavor and good levels of spice considering was only mid range.

Definitely looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu.“

“We walked in around 4pm on Saturday. The restaurant was empty but they have a very good rate on reviews, I was afraid it would disappoint us but after saw the menu.. we like most of them, specially on the back of their menu has the all day house specials! I ordered the “pineapple lover” and my husband ordered “spicy garlic stirred fry” which were very yummy. Ended up with great food, perfect portions (for us) most of all great service!“

“We got the Pad Thai and the Chow Mein with a hot level spiciness and they were both amazing! The fried tofu is also a delicious appetizer. We got our food delivered this time and it was just as good as when we go to the restaurant. The staff are always professional and helpful and will get you what you need in a really good amount of time! Bonus tip: 10/10 would recommend the black rice mango“

“The food here is SO good. It’s always a treat to get Pattaya Thai express. We love the Thai fried rice and also the pad Thai. The food always tastes really fresh. The curry soup is perfect if you have a cold. Great friendly staff & convenient location too.“

“I’ve ordered the Thai fried rice and mango sticky rice from Nana Pattaya Express several times now—and I’ll keep coming back. They’re absolutely one of my favorites.

That said, I must say some of the reviews listed here are ignorant, and frankly, biased.

While I agree that the fried rice was a bit too spicy for a level 2 heat the first time I ordered it, I’ve since requested it with level 0 spiciness and less salt—and it came out perfect.

As for the mango sticky rice, I couldn’t help but cackled at the comment claiming that the green hue on the sticky rice is a food safety concern. The ignorance and arrogance really showed through.

If you’re unfamiliar with Southeast Asian food culture, do yourself a favor and Google the word “pandan.” You’ll understand exactly what it is.

Good food comes with a willingness to explore and respect cultural differences. Nana Pattaya Express is a gem for those who appreciate authentic flavors and are open to learning along the way.

P.S. The cashier and chef has been nothing but kind, polite and cordial to me. And I don’t even speak Thai. Maybe try to be a decent human being and be nicer to them? They ain’t your servants you know.“

“Sometimes appetizers upstate the main dish - the honey chicken wings were SO good. Don't miss out on the Vietnamese Coffee and the Mochi doughnuts. The main dishes like Pad Thai and Heavenly Beef were good too just that other stuff was incredible.“

“FAV! ever since i moved away i miss danang sooo much! i wish there was one in chicagoland ❤️“

“This is our absolute favorite place to go. We love the owners and the food is to die for! Every plate is amazing. 🥰 This is a weekly spot for us.“
