Traditional Thai cuisine, including stir-fries & curries, served in a straightforward setting.
Golden Thai
This was a happy circumstance. Our regular Thai place was closed, so we came here. I had eth Rama, the veggies were fresh, and the peanut sauce was not overpowering; it was a bit thick in consistency but had a good taste; I had mine with chicken.
The treat was the curry puffs; I have had these at another restaurant named Hong Min that used to be located in Chinatown. These are similar, but they do not have chicken, and the size is more smaller.
But they had that similar curry taste, and it beats having to go all the way to 127th to Hing Min.
We really liked the food; the peanut sauce was so enjoyable that I could see us returning just for that dish.
Service was quick, and the place was super tiny; we noticed a downstairs area, but it was closed. I saw many orders going out for pick up and delivery, and it is close to a college so I fugure everybody orders.
I do recommend it.
Food is always good here. Had the chicken pad Thai, crispy pad see ewe and panang chicken curry dish. All were very good. Just a little disappointed with the portion size for the price. No leftovers
Delicious Pad Thai!
Best Thai restaurant in Little Italy/UIC area, hands down.
Terrible pad Thai.
They don't refund if food is not good.
Poor experience.
I got the drunken noodles and my friend got the ginger chicken, both really delicious! I just wish the portion (at least the drunken noodles) was bigger 🥲 Would love to be back though!

Little place the but the food is exelent
For me is the best THAI food in the city
I love this food BUT don't make the mistake of commenting if any dish is a bit off tasting. I told the server the panang was a bit salty and asked for a 4th glass of water and a little more rice and out comes the head cook and 1 other cook to give me a piece of their minds. I was so saddened that this could be a possibility for anyone to comment on a dish.
This place is great! We just found it but have been getting takeout more frequently. The green curry , fish curry, fried rice, pad kee mao and crispy spring rolls are so good. We want to keep trying more items
The food was so good; Highly recommend!
Great good not a great service but food is great.
I wish they had more locations
I’ve been coming here on and off for a few years since I went to the university nearby. The food has always been consistent with the flavor. Everything I’ve tried tasted well flavored with the perfect amount of spicy to it. The latest item I tried was the glas noodle salad with ground chicken and shrimp, fish cake, and pad see eew! Their prices are also reasonable compared to other Thai restaurants in the area. Highly recommended!
Always a great meal!!!
The food and service here is always excellent!
I enjoyed the food. Just great service.
Best Thai food ive had in a while. I go here with my partner every chance we get. Affordable, delicious, and the staff are very kind. Cant reccomend this place enough.
Yummy place for cucumber salad and rama chicken
Used to come to this place almost daily. Today, I placed a phone order for pick up and the woman who answered the phone insisted on changing my order. I said basil fried rice she said basil and chicken. I tried to correct her but there seemed to be a language barrier. When I called to inform them about the error she was so rude and even yelled at me. No accountability at all. The customer service is beyond horrible. What a shame.
Lots of great options with a variety of flavors.
my girlfriend and I have this thing where we go to thai food places and we rate them 0-10. You guys are definitely a 10/10 in our book!
I used to go here years ago, then they switched ownership. Now, the food is back great again!!
The food is very good. I loved everything I tried. The thing that took me by surprise is the portions and prices. For the price the amount of food and meat they give is pretty small. A dinner for 2 was about $100 without tip. If the portions matched the prices it would be more fair.
I'm always looking for a good Thai place and this one hits the spot. The red curry is so good!
I've been a fan and cusomter of this place for 11 years. I've always ordered the exact same thing for the entire 11 years and it was quality food every single time.
I orderedmy good for the last time as I'm moving to Florida and will no longer have the privilege to order from my good Thai family.
Thank you for all the great memories and amazing food for the last decade.
Joseph.
Too cold inside :(
Una delicia 😋
Excellent restaurant
Phat Thai, and Nam sod so good! Always fast, delicious, clean and people very friendly!
Golden Thai is perfect. You won’t find Crispy Pad See Ew on other Thai menus, it has great flavor and texture combinations. Pad Ped and curry is also great. Make sure you dine-in to get the proper taste experience!
The food was delicious. Get mild if you're unsure of the heat in the spices, it was just right...
wonderful food and place
Delicious food. No frills atmosphere. Good menu variety. Comparable prices. Good service for dining in. Fast...for dine-in, or pickup. Recommend.

We ordered a chicken satay, drunken noodles and Masuman curry. It was good
Best Thai near campus :)
We placed a group order here for a meeting. The staff was very friendly, the order was correct, and was delivered ahead of schedule. They labeled everything too which, was extra nice. 10/10 would recommend.
I ordered fried rice and it is delicious
Had some spoiled bits of eggplant in the pad ped pla dook (spicy catfish). They probably have to do a better job of quality controlling the ingredients.
Likely wouldn't order again because of that.
Service wad good. Waitress was friendly.
Essen war super lecker & super freundlicher Service. Danke!
I unfortunately have to give 1 stars because my chicken was not cooked. I like the food here, but I saw another review saying their meat was not cooked so I had to make sure this time. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed under all the sauce, but I'm pregnant and raw meat is dangerous.
Delicious as always !
Got the Panang curry for takeout and it was really good! They were very fast as well.
Spicy means spicy at this place.
Stale chicken. Incorrect order. 50 minute wait for delivery. Horrible experience.
This has been our favorite location for location for Thai delivery in Lincoln Park.
The Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai is always fresh, flavorful and a large portion...enough for lunch the next day. The Peanut Sauce is one of our favorites. Spring Rolls are also great. If you are afraid of spice or want to melt your head off...just let them know, thay are happy to accommodate your spice level.
I am admitted at Rush and ordered few things. They came and left without leaving the food. I was told they called my number many times but there was not a single call from the delivery person. I am still getting charged for the full amount!
This is very disappointing....
Good Pad Thai, however more pricey compared to Thai Bowl on the other end of Taylor St.
Favorite Thai take out spot
I had the pad Thai chicken and shrimp it was delicious!!!
Really good Thai food without having to spend an arm and a leg.
Hadn't been here in years. Ordered some things for lunch today and even though they raised the prices by a few bucks I'm never disappointed! My favorite is the golden thai fried rice. Golden Thai rules!
My go-to Thai place. Love the crispy pad see ew, massaman curry and Tom yum soup!
Delicious food 😋
The best Thai in all of Chicago. This is my regular takeout spot; perfect for a cozy night in. Neither I nor my partner have had a dish from here that we didn’t love! Keep doing what you’re doing, Golden Thai, you’re the greatest.
Ordered for the first time and the last. Working just 8 blocks away I put in a simple order rice and egg roll tip tax 27 bucks I get a email will take a hour then in a hour I get another email it will be 20 min more. I call the lady was rude said she had I specter there if I don't want it she will canceled my order. I told her I need my food. It came 30 min later egg rolls were cold.Never again
They didn’t have my food well done, it was raw like really raw
I absolutely love their chicken, Pad Thai!! I eat there so much they kinda know me. You have to experience them for yourself. Dine-in experience was nice. But I usually go on my lunch.
Decent
Best place to get Thai food in Chicago!!!
Food ok
This is our go-to Thai restaurant in Chicago. Wonderful food, stellar service, and a very chill in-restaurant vibe. Highly recommend Golden Thai!!
Favorite Thai in Chicago! This place is a hidden gem. The food is genuinely always amazing - I’ve never eaten something I didn’t love. Service is fast, phenomenal and very polite. I will be an ever-returning customer!
Outstanding Thai food along with great service at a cozy spot in the middle of little Italy. The curry is super delicious but you can't go wrong with anything that you order.
Very good food, excellent customer service!
Simply delicious!
I love their crispy pad sea and they're friendly
Ok But Will Try Another Thai Restaurant Down Street. This Was The Only One had Dine SERVICE
Had the pad Thai and panang curry, the pad Thai tasted how I Invision pad Thai to taste. And the curry was very tasty.
Excellent, reasonably priced Thai food.
A hidden treasure in the heart of Pilsen. Truly the definition of underrated hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I wasn’t expecting much, but the service here was only matched by the flavor. Absolutely wonderful staff, very delicious food. Will absolutely be coming here again and recommending this to my friends next time we’re craving pad Thai!
Love the food, prices, staff are friendly
I love their Pad Thai. It is the best. 👍🏽
Fast and friendly.
A great neighborhood Thai restaurant.
Good food in a great location!
Good service and food and good prices
This is one of my favorite lunch spots. I’ve tried an extensive portion of their menu and can attest that all of their items are as tasty as the next. Their Tom Yum soup is some of the best in the city, their basil fried rice and chili fried rice are personal favorites, and the panang curry is next level. Aside from the food, the staff is great. They’re so sweet and welcoming even when they’re swamped. Highly recommend.
Staff is friendly. The food, not so great. I truly don’t write bad reviews unless I really feel ripped off. We ordered take out, the curry was watery, the rice was literally mush. That’s on top of the little food they give you while charging full price. Avoid this place if you don’t like wasting money.
Truly disappointed.
First time here with a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back
Great food! Great Staff! I would highly recommend if your looking for great Thai food. It’s a hidden gem on Taylor and I’m glad I ordered. I will definitely be going back sooner than later.
This place used to be great. It’s now just ok but better than most anyplace else around here. Tom Kar and Tom Yum soups are good as long as the chicken is good. It can be unpredictable.
Good prices, will need to try some other dishes, green curry was fine.
Vary good food and service
Been ordering from Golden Thai for several years. Never disappointed, except when they aren't open.
Honestly this is an incredible spot for the best Thai food. I went back the next day because I liked it so much. The staff is friendly and the food is ready very quickly.
Used to go here all the time till they stop taking my American Express
God food, great service!
best thai takeout and delivery in the city
Amazing and authentic food! Best Tom Yum soup I’ve ever had and very friendly staff.
Worse customer service! They gave me the wrong food and the lady began yelling like it's my fault.. im tired of dealing with this lady and her rude as attitude
The place never fails me. I love the staff I love the food just a great place all around.
SO!!!# TODAY WAS MY VERY FIRST TIME COMING HERE AND EATING THERE FOOD... AND I MUST SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST THAI FOOD I'VE HAD IN VERY LONG TIME. SORRY IT TOOK quarantine for me to find this fabulous food of theirs. I'm definitely coming back and back and back!!! 😆... Seriously tho... This is really good and the customer service is amazing. I did not get the lady that was taking/serving the orders name!!! Wish i had😢😢... But she was so nice and kind and very welcoming!! And she also handed me some HAND SANITIZER after i was finished signing and grabbing my order.... Amazing amazing!!! Thank you!!!
great food and service
Intimate restaurant. Great staff. Went with my coworkers on our lunch break.
I love Thai and this place is just as good. Fast service, very polite and a nice little place for a quick bite.
Great lunch spot. I love the panang curry. The shumai are also good.
This is my favorite Thai food place. The service is fast and friendly and the food is very good. This place is always consistently good. Soups and pad Thai are my favorite. I love how they serve hot jasmine tea in clear glass mugs. Traditional Thai decorations on the wall add to the overall Thai restaurant appeal. Also, the bathrooms are mice and clean.
Best Pad See Ew!
Best Pad See Ew in town, lots of beef and broccoli!
Really like this place! I got wonton soup, Singapore noodle and coconut custard. The soup was okay and was a good pair with the noodle. The noodle is so well spiced and I just couldn’t stop eating! The coconut custard is right at the pleasant level of sweetness. Will definitely visit again!
Best Thai place in medical district area. The indian curry fried rice is amazing but really you can pick anything on their menu and you will be satisfied. We would almost eat here every week when we lived on taylor st.
Nice food. Service is sometimes good, sometimes really bad.
Good Thai
Good pad Thai, although I'm not picky
Always The Best. From the food to staff great!
The drunkin' nooodlrs were fabulous, and had a ton of tender beef. But the Tom ka soup not up to my standards
The food is good serving is well sized.
Excellent. Busy at lunch but they serve everyone timely with smiles and cordiality. My lunch was great.
Love it...always yummy@
Slow & poor service & the food was served cold!
小贵,但味道还不错,感觉略甜
Quick stop to eat with a friend, and this place fit the bill. Such friendly service, delicious food, and not to mention very clean bathrooms (sign of a truly good place, right?)!
Good but pretty salty
