First time going, got egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, chicken fried rice and combination fried rice. Soups are good and the fried rice tastes great, good size meat pieces. Hoping they’ll be consistent in the future, this location is convenient.
The chicken fried rice was good when I first went the second time which was today they gave two to three day old chicken. You can definitely taste it in the rice. So now I won’t ever return
Definitely better than any other chinese restaurant we have had in the area. The mongolian beef was tender and flavorful. The sesame chicken was not as crispy as we like but it could be because we ordered takeout and it was steaming in the container. Enjoyed the food very much and will definitely be back to try other dishes.
New here from Orland Park and my first meal here was very disappointing. The food was OVERSALTED and not at all an enjoyable experience. The Mongolian beef was simply laden with too much salt as was the egg fried rice. The egg rolls were good.
I will continue looking for a good Chinese restaurant in the area as this was not it.
We take out and rarely eat at the restaurant which is pretty basic. The food is always great and fresh.
While the onsite restaurant has changed a bit, the food is still great. I ordered noodles and vegetable fried rice, both delicious as always.

The Tai San Chef team consistently makes great food. The service for the dining out experience is quick and efficient.

Food quality has gone down hill since they switched to carryout only. This time they didn't even bother to label our food to know which is which. Prices go up but quality goes down.
Lady said No dine-in .
:/
Crab Rangoon is a fav of mine….always included in my order.
Today 5/25 was a huge disappointment….didn’t taste any crab, was cream cheese that I tasted and much smaller portion of that.
Won’t be ordering it again !
The best Chinese. Have literally been coming here for 20 years
Very friendly service! The food was fresh and delicious, will come again.
Insane boba smoothies
This place is UNREAL!! The food is moderately priced, but the flavors, textures, everything, is AMAZING!!! Can’t say enough about them!
I haven't had Hunan Beef in quite some time and this really hit the spot. It was a perfect balance of beef and vegetables. The spice was perfect enough for the that's spicy reaction.
Food names are incorrect.
We have been a long time customer and they never disappoint! Food is delicious. Highly recommend!
This is hands down the best Chinese food around and it's worth every single penny!
Ordered through DoorDash, otherwise I would’ve sent this food back to the kitchen and walked out. The Pad Thai tasted sour and off. The Pad Se Ewe had noodles in it that were fried to a crisp and inedible, very little meat, and one small piece of broccoli. It tasted nothing like it tastes in the other Thai restaurants I‘be been to over the years. We ordered a Thai coffee, and it was nothing but strong, horrible coffee. They did not put any sweet milk in it at all. None of us could eat much of the meal; a total waste of money.
Very helpful and pleasant 😊
The food is delicious.
Their smoothies are soo delicious! I recommend adding jello in your smoothie!
I wanted to try the place on Mother's Day, but was informed that they're only open for take-out or delivery. Really? Very disappointing. Leaves a "bad taste" in my mouth. I probably would have liked it a lot. But we'll never know since I won't go there too eat.
Very overpriced for what you get. Customer service was mid
friendly owner, nice and clean place
The perfect beef chop suey.
Professional wait staff and great food. I had ribs that were superb paired with the coconut shrimp.
Shrimp fried rice is the best 🤤
Dined in with some friends and had a few dishes served.
Amazing tasting food. So fresh. The vegetable options prepared to perfection.
My new favorite for sure!
I ordered food for the party of 16 people and the food was delicious (Mongolian Beef and Garlic Chicken )
Definitely will order again
Only doing carryout. No dine in. Still best in the area.
My favorite restaurant in the area. Love their Egg Foo Young.
My family and I only order food from this Asian restaurant for many years. The other night I ordered the wrong noodle dinner and the owner had no problem accommodating my dinner! I ordered thai noodles when I really wanted lo mein. He got me what I really wanted with no questioned asked. Fantastic food and owners. They care about their customers. The best in the area.
Wonderful food with great seasoning and was a great experience!
Taisan is my go-to Asian cuisine place, and the quality, quantity, and prices are all very reasonable. I will continue to return.
I ate the chicken curry and my dad ordered the walnut chicken i think that's what it's called the next day comes and i feel weird and that was the only thing I ate for the whole day I wake up feel weird and i get a pulsing pain in my stomach and then i go to work then it starts getting worse turns out i got food poisoning. I don't recommend this restaurant we use to love it here now we don't again i don't recommend this restaurant
They're the BEST Asian in the area! The hot mustard is uniquely flavorful, and I made a special trip from SOUTHERN INDIANA just to have some again! Their food is always hot and fresh, and lots of it. I'm so glad the owners are still operating in spite of the Pandemic---we need to keep supporting our local businesses!!
Simply the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! The delivery drivers are professional too.
customer service is always great. Glad to see they are still open
Found metal scrub brush pieces in our food. Do NOT order from here. Bad first and only experience.
Great basil rice and egg rolls!
My most highly ordered dish is vegan Thai curry fried rice + Add fried tofu. It tastes good. But the only drawback is that I can't rely on consistency. Sometimes they add all stir fry vegetables.sometimes just peas n carrot. Sometimes rice is sticky. Other times it's really nice n fluffy. Sometimes tofu is really deep fried.Sometimes it is just sauteed.
Pls maintain consistency.
This place has slipped in quality. I wont order from here any more
Delicious food everytime
Food is excellent.

Service was OK and prices are good for portions. Ordered spicy panaang curry and it was bland with a little bit of heat. Good amount of meat and vegetables but absolutely no panaang or Curry flavor.
Phenomenal food staff pick up service
Good lunch specials. Food comes out quick for lunch breaks.
Amazing shrimp fried rice and grilled fish
!!!!
Last time we got delivery, it wasn’t good. Cold food, extremely long wait time, and tasted terrible. However, the manager made good and gave a full refund. This time the food was spot on. Hot and delicious. These folks have integrity. Everyone misses occasionally, but I know they’ll make good on it if they need be.
There is no place like home! This place has been Awesome from the day it opened. The Food is absolutely Delicious 😋
The food was terrible.
Ordered cashew chicken minus pineapple 🍍. Medium spicy. It was sweet.
Eggshells in the fried rice.
I have been eating at Tai San for over ten years now. It has very friendly staff, good portion sizes, good prices, and amazing food!
Great Chinese and sushi, priced great
Excellent food, great value, my favorite place!
Been ordering here for about a year and a half and have never had any problems until today my chicken had a maggot on it. Still beyond disgusted and in disbelief.
Very good food.
Not sure what the egg rolls were made of last night, but they were inedible. The sesame chicken I ordered had about 3 sesame seeds in it and was covered in sauce from what I thought was for orange chicken.
Never again
Great smoothies!
I have been looking for a local Thai restaurant for a while. I've found a few but none that had the service and quality of Taisan. I will be back for sure.
Smoothies here are the bomb!!!!!
Don't order the curry at this place. I am not a very critical eater, but the food here is the worst I have ever eaten. The curry I ordered here didn't look like curry and it definitely didn't taste like curry. I had to throw the food away something I have never done in my life and made me very mad.
I usually go here for the pad thai but lately been disappointed. The egg drop soup is plain. They add corn to make it tasty. The dinner portions is supposed to have more but it's just like the lunch specials. The chicken fried rice that they give you a also just plain. Will not be going there again.
Good. Fast.
I love their food
Our favorite place in Illinois for sushi and bubble tea!
Good food. Crab ragoons were tasty. Would recommend this place.
Food is great, service is excellent. One of my favorite places to go. Staff very pleasant. Prices very reasonable.
I used to LOVE Tai San Chef and recommended it to others. The last couple of times I have been very disappointed in the quality and taste. The Mongolian dishes are great.
Excellent Food and a large variety
The best china restaurant in area!
Really good pad see ew, if that was all I was reviewing it would be 5 stars. Literally the best I’ve ever had anywhere. The other stuff was decent. We ordered some sesame chicken which was ok and some string beans and miso soup, all pretty good. It’s an interesting place in that it offers Chinese Japanese and Thai all in one place, so if you can’t decide or if you’re in a group and people want different things this is a great place to go.
Hot food and wonderful services
Great
Good food fast services
Absolutely the best hot & sour soup!
Good food
Love the food here. Great sushi and quality eats overall. At times have had issues with delivery accuracy, but overall my go-to for sushi when I want it at work.
Food, service needs to be improved drastically.
Im obsessed with this place. The pad see yew is the best ever had (and ive had a lot). I brought friends here and they are all converted. You have to try watermelon smoothie its unreal!
Don't expect fancy service but the food and prices are best in the area!!
Awesome combo rice and shrimp egg rolls fast serve and friendy
Food was really tasty. Prices are reasonable.
Good place for takeout.
Take out and smoothies are still pretty solid. Restaurant has really gone down hill. Table was dirty, bathroom was filthy with chemicals laying in the floor, and the ambiance was lacking. Prices are still fair.
Nope not authentic. Got the panang curry and it was not thai! Not sure what they served us. The crab rangoon was good and the sushi was meh. Very disappointed, I was craving Thai curry😏.
One of my favorites for Asian food
Great and fast for lunch.
Great food. Fast service
Decided to come in to take a look at the menu and order for pick-up. Very quick service. Was out the door in less than 10 minutes. Food was still very hot when I arrived home (8 min drive). A bit pricey, but still good quality.
Great food, my husband and I's favourite place to order from!
Worst oriental restaurant ever. Far from authentic, tasteless food & bad service.
Smallest serving of lunch items. Taste was good, but not enough food for the price you pay
My favorite place to eat in the entire world! Been coming here since they first opened, even living across the country I crave their food.
Smoothies are excellent and have a huge variety in fruits.
Good food and value
I love Taisan chef. Always great food and service.
Food selection ranges from Chinese to Thai. You cant go wrong with a selection as all that i have tried are excellent!
Good food, and lots of it. Slightly pricey.
Would be 5 stars based on food alone. Service was a little slow which moved it to a 4. Great Chinese and sushi!
Online ordered and got to the restaurant and someone asked how much longer. They stated the online timing is always wrong. So we got there at the time it said, and waited an additional 20 minutes. Someone else called and said they forgot a soup from their order. They offered to deliver it, pick up, or credit the person's account. We finally get our food, drive home to find they left out one of our meals. Stupid us for not checking to make sure everything was there, but they had checked everything off the receipt stapled to the bag like everything was put into it. I proceeded to call and tell them they forgot one meal and they told me I could pick it up or be credited for it. So now I've already been inconvenienced by missing one of my meals, but you dont even offer to deliver it, after offering it to another customer? Stupid.
Used to be way better. Since when does Thai and Chinese food have jalapeños? Person who took phone order did not know what Tom Kha Gai was. FYI - #10 on the menu isn’t close.
When I used to live in Darien (6 years ago), this was a frequent place my mom and I would eat at. Over the years I’ve noticed the food and the service has just declined which was extremely disappointing. We went to try it again, and ordered the kung pow chicken as well as the beef and brocoli. Firstly, the chicken was chewy and didn’t taste right like we have had in the past and the beef in the other dish looked extremely unappetizing. After we attempted to eat our food it simply didn’t sit right and we suffered for days with food poisoning... I’m disgusted and will not be giving them my business ever again. I hope this helps somebody else to avoid days of throwing up and discomfort. Gross.
Food over all is ok..not the best. Overpriced like a mf..small orange chicken $10.95 smh I also ordered pot stickers and got dumplings..not the same
Large selection but they serve better Chinese food than Thai food.
Service =5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Atmosphere =3 🌟🌟🌟
Food=2 🌟🌟
Price=3 🌟🌟🌟
Going into this place I was really hoping to like it. The decor was simple and inviting. I would see bringing a friend to lunch or dinner here. This all changed once I tried the food. It wasnt bad or horrible my any means but it was disappointing. The sushi rice was muchy and lacked what any sushi rice needs. The fish left a weird after taste. The pad thai lacked any flavor and again more muchy food. Great for people who dont have any teeth. Felt as if I was eating jello. For the price I'll give them two stars.
Nice place to please a whole group with Chinese, Japanese with fresh sushi and Thai. Good food, good service. Have to try the Hibachi next time.
Great place for child labor kids are just working everywhere. I just love the way the food has hair in it. A kid was cooking rice making great food that is also delivered by children. I love when they give you fortune cookies and get good food and then they start yelling because they aren't getting paid. But overall great restaurant if that's what you like.
A.) Food was not hot enough.
B.) Thai Basil didn't look and taste like Thai dish not Basil dish.
C.) Server was in a rush to kick us out in an empty restaurant.
D.) Because of A, B, C I didn't tip and server asked me for tip.
Very bad experience. Chicken rice was not good I told her can you remake it or give me different meet she said no. She told me order different meet next time. when I was speaking to manager she just came interrupted me while I was talking to manager after I paid. Never coming back very very bad service
They can’t seem to figure out how to get the order correct. Last 2 visits they managed to forget key items in the order. Don’t bother with them; plenty of options out there.
Excellent food and lunch specials are great.
Great smoothies and customer service they also have great food for relatively low prices and have lots of options
Best mai tais!
