Authentic Thai Food, Boba drinks, and healthy mini hot pot.
If youβre looking for authentic Thai flavors or just over all good eating, this is the perfect spot!! Tucked away in this lot is truly a secret gem of a spot. The service is amazing as the staff are super friendly and welcoming! You also get to meet a super cute robot cat who brings your meal to you! How fun!! Unfortunately we gobbled up the entire meal before writing our review but that just shows how yummy the meal was LOL
This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I was blown away by the exceptional service, which truly enhanced the dining experience. While the restaurant might be cozy, it adds to the charm and ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable Thai meal.
WOW - absolutely blown away by the place and soooooo stoked thereβs finally a good hot pot & boba place in the area! My Chinese mother (who has v high standards when it comes to asian food, lol) introduced me to The Pan - the ultimate seal of approval.
Everything was so flavorful and 10/10 for presentation. We ordered the mini hot pot with Tom YUM soup and beef, which was to die for. It was packed with meat, veggies and other delicious goodness. The seafood platter was incredible as well - packed with flavor and the seafood was so fresh! You could tell the beef in the hot pot was high-quality as well.
Not only was the food delicious, the vibes & ambience is soo cute and the staff and owners were lovely as well. Super attentive and warm folks. Truly, this is my new favorite place and I canβt wait to come back already. What a treat to have The Pan open in our area!
This restaurant is my dream come true. I LOVE thai, mini hot pot and Korean snowcone Bingsu or shaved ice and they have them all and are the best!!! My family are going there regularly every weekend and some weekdays too!!
The good thing about their shaved ice is that they use real fruits. Oh, I almost forgot their boba tea - my kids LOVE them!! Their Jasmin tea is my favorite!
The environment is also very pretty and clean. Both the owner and the waiters/waitresses are super friendly and nice!!
i love it here, the food is so yummy! i enjoy the atmosphere.
We found this place just stopping for boba one time and came back for dinner. We had a delicious meal of drunken noodles and panang curry which was a total hit! One of the better panang curries I've had. I'm looking forward to trying hot pot next, never had it but the table next to us got some and it looked amazing! Super friendly staff and just a great addition to the community. They also have a robot!

Food is delicious
Thai food is an absolute delight, and every dish seems to tell a story of tradition and flavor. The perfect balance of sweet, spicy, salty, and sour makes every bite an adventure. The fresh herbs, like basil and cilantro, elevate the dishesβ¦
Very good! We eat here weekly! The owners are the nicest people and the food is great! Mini pot is amazing!
This place is great! They have these cosy seats on one end of the restaurant which are super comfortable and roomy. The milk tea to boba proportions are perfect for me and the mango with sticky rice is a new favorite. The angus beef in the hot pot was also super tender and there were so many vegetables that I felt super healthy eating it.
Tried this place with my son and it was delicious! We were so used to Exotic Thai but adding the hot pots here was an amazing option! The girls were friendly and sweet and accommodated my request to switch dairy to plant based milk. Thank you so much! We will be back and will bring friends to join!
So good! Iβve only had it delivered but everything Iβve tried it great. The yellow curry is my favorite so far.
The staff is so nice, the food is amazing, the environment is so cozy. I come back every week for more.

Love the food, love the service, a wonderful place to hang out with your family on a Friday night!
Pad Kee Mao was fresh and full of veggies, delicious but not greasy and the staff is young and energetic!
Staff and owner super duper kind!! Food was also very good. Glad to have hotpot so close to our home
Food was very tasty! Service was great! Would come again.
Best restaurant of all time, the waiter was too goodπβ
Very fun Thai restaurant. I consider myself a Pad See Ew aficionado and theirs is up there with the best of them. Less exotic flavors than some of the other restaurants in the area and definitely less spicy but thatβs not a bad thing as the flavor is very strong in umami. The portions are large and enough to share or take home some leftovers with you if you choose.
Amazing Thai food, mini hot pot, boba and Korean shaved ice! The staff and owners are very nice and provide excellent service!
Awesome service and food! Highly recommended :)
Great hotpot! The food was pretty spot on. Good sized portions. Flavor was good too. Great customer service. Will definitely be coming back.
Than you so much for great service, Theo server was so attentive and helpful! Food was delicious, especially pots and snow dessert π₯
Iβm delighted to find such a pleasant atmosphere and delicious Asian cuisine in this area. The owner is very welcoming. The restaurant is new, but the food is excellent. I highly recommend the hot pot; it has a lot of ingredients. Before we left, the owner even packed us an extra bowl of rice so we could enjoy the leftovers at home. The Thai dishes are also outstanding. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant! I hope everyone will visit and support Asian cuisine in this community.
Great food, super fast service, and all the plant decorations are adorable!

I love π
Everything we ate was great!! No complaints, friendly team, Mango snow ice was amazing
Tried the mini hot pot with lamb, the oolong boba tea, and the pork skewers today. All are delicious and nutritious. The amount of food in the mini pot is enough for two people. The boba tea is very refreshing. The pork skewers are crunchy and tasty. They also have Thai dishes that I may try next time. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves Asian food.
Food was delicious. People were awesome.
We tried this place for the first time last week. This replaced the exotic tie restaurant we used to order from for many years.
We tried the Angus beef hot pot and chicken pad ke mao. Food was fresh, light and flavorful. One of the better pad ka mao Iβve had. The Thai tea with boba was pretty good also
The decor is nice and simple. The owner and server were very nice, attentive and friendly. We even get to meet and try βBellaβ the robot server! So cool!
Definitely recommend and weβll be coming back.
This is one of the best restaurants in the area. So glad to have exceptional hot pot and Thai food in Oak Park! In addition to the food being delicious, service is great. Highly recommended!
The new place (used to be Exotic Thai) is very charming. The food is good, and the decor is bright and cheerful. The staff are attentive, and they know what spicy means. Watch out for the robot.
Amazing food and service. Tom Yum soup is especially good.
New management (young couple) are delightful and eager to serve . The atmosphere is warm and the take out order was warm . All the food has been delicious. Itβs on my list to visit again soon.

The food is super delicious! I brought my family to try Thai food here, We all love it!
Amazing service now! The food is great, and they have a cute robot waitress, so cool, the Asia food just like we had in Asia. The owner is super friendly, highly recommended.
*I do not know or have eaten at Pan Kitchen. This review is not for them but it was for Exotic Thai. NOT THE SAME OWNERSHIP*
A family owned and very nice people. I recommend the Exotic wor wonton soup, chicken with baby corn & other veggies. Steamed & pan fried dumplings are good.
Love the food here, very authentic Thai. The price is very fair considering how everywhere is going up so much.
We only liked the chicken skewers with the cucumber salad . The chicken in the soup was tough and it was flavorless. The pad Thai was too sweet and noodles were too hard.
Some of our cups had dried stuck on food and table was sticky on edges.
Did take-out. It was really delicious!
Poor service ever
They need to update their schedule they closed 3 pm to 4 pm for break and I drove to two different locations from very far away for nothing
Food was very good! Service was fast and friendly. Everything is seasoned very nicely and lots of vegetarion options.
Horrible experience. I ordered food that was nothing I asked for. Poor customer service got charged extra for nothing.
Bad Service.
Best vegan and vegetarian food in town. Green curry is phenomenal. They also have a lot of really wonderful dishes that they make with soy chicken. I would eat here every night if I could.
Awesome food, great service
Unprofessional business
Realy slow working
Rud,nasty
Eh this was not a great option for me today Parking is super easy as there was no one in the restaurant and the restaurant is in a strip mall.
I came for lunch with my daughter and she ordered the chicken satay with peanut sauce. The sauce was very bland and the chicken was dry. I ordered the lunch special which was chicken basil, chicken didn't taste cooked so I skipped on eating it and the rice was super dry. I'm sorry for not posting photos but it all looks bland.
The only thing good was my daughters company.
I would say this place is solidly BELOW AVERAGE and weβre pretty disappointed. when iβm paying for food, it has to be of a certain quality and I just donβt think this makes the cut. firstly: we ordered curry and it didnβt come with rice. who orders curry and doesnβt put it over rice? rice costs less than 50 cents to add so i really think it should come with saucy curries but if it really needs to be specified- make it clear! so disappointing to come home at 9 at night and need to make rice for a dish that definitely should have it.
as for quality, the noodle dishes come with the bare minimum (just brocoli and some bean sprouts). we also ordered the dumplings and what we received is a sad soggy wrap of unpleasant ingredients with a sickly sweet sauce.
no word how the curry is because weβre waiting on rice to try it.
Great Thai food and very friendly service. Been going there for many years and have never been disappointed.
Good food and service.
Went today 4 the first time! There were only 2 other customers, didn't allow my party of 8 to sit where we wanted. Rude customer service! Didnt greet my party, forced us to sit close to kitchen!! 2 waitresses looked mad, no smile on their faces. All talking and lsughing in thai native language? Very rude! One cutomer came in and walked out as the waitresses n the cook was rude to her! Poor cutomet services!! Would not recommend this place! What exoti? they first need to learn how to treat cutomers!! Would have walked out but with 4 young kids who wanted Thai food. There was no other Thai restaurant close by! Will NOT go there ever again!!
Excellent Thai food and a wonderful family that owns it. You never have to wait with it off the beaten path in Oak Park. They are very popular for takeout, too. Many choices to try, and you can have whatever level of spicy you want. We have been going here for over 10 years.
Always good food
Good food at a reasonable price. This place is near my work, so I've eaten here many times. They have all the popular Thai dishes in lunch or dinner portions. They have an $8 lunch special with chicken, seafood, beef, pork or vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone. They serve soups, noodles, rice or curries. Their appetizers are also very good. They accommodate small or large parties easily, and orders come out very quickly. If you're in the area looking for a Thai fix, give Exotic Thai a try (no pun intended).
I enjoy the Thai food here.
We've been going to Exotic Thai for over 10 years! Authentic food and family owned and operated. Service is always excellent and the food is consistently prepared and served. Great take out as well.
Consistently excellent quality and service - much better than other Exotic Thai locations.
Wonderful restaurant, great food, and nice atmosphere.
First time coming here today, they have good eggrolls and chow mein w tofu. Fire playlist bumping through out the restaurant.π₯π₯π₯ Server was ok.
Consistently good food and service for over 20 years I've lived nearby.
Amazing food and service.
Food is better than mediocre, but fast
Good food!
This is the Exotic Thai you want. The place by the theaters is okay, but for some reason the food here is so much better. Worth the drive for sure if you are close to the one in Agoura. Also, be on the lookout for coupons and send them my way please ;)
Consistent tasty accommodating friendly quick comfortable
Better than the one by the theatre.
I had been searching for good pad thai and I found it! The noodles were perfect, it was a little bit sweet, and it came without any spice so I was able to add it to my liking. I will definitely be back!
AMAZING food!
I work for orkin pest control company got take out food brought it home and found a german cockroach in my food. DO NOT EAT THERE
Best thai food you'll find around this area. Ask the chef (Pat) what looks good. My fav is the pad thai which I think is better than most in Hollywood (Thai town). Pleasant atmosphere, loads of parking, overall very good time. Try something new everytime you come - I have yet to be disappointed.
Very nice people. Service is A+. Food is very good. Reasonable prices. We are regulars. They do a ton of take-out business. A keeper.
My husband and I love this place, the Thai Spicy chicken is awesome!
