Absolutely top notch. The New owners strive to do everything 5 star from their mango sticky rice to boba smoothies made from fruit..not syrup. So impressed with them!

Diner Review №2

Cold weather calls for comforting Thai dishes! I recently visited Taste of Thai in Schaumburg and had a mixed experience. The chicken in the Panang curry was steamed and a bit bland, which made it a little underwhelming. Though I understand that's how it is typically prepared. The curry broth itself was heavy on coconut milk, making it quite sweet—perhaps a bit too sweet for my personal taste. Similarly, the basil chicken also leaned towards the sweeter side. A new favorite that I recently tried is the beef salad, prepared with thinly sliced grilled beef in a delicate sweet, and sour dressing on a bed of fresh greens.
On the plus side, I really enjoyed the chicken satay and the Vietnamese rolls—they were both flavorful and well-prepared. The service was excellent, and the staff was knowledgeable about gluten and made sure to prepare the entrees carefully. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, though the seating is limited, so expect to wait during peak times.
The portions are generous and shareable, which is a nice touch. Parking was convenient, and I was glad to see they also offer carry-out service for those on the go. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a casual Thai meal, though I’d recommend adjusting expectations on the sweetness of the dishes. I think it's due to my gluten allergy that the recipe may have slightly changed, though I would definitely come back for more!

a simple, down to earth restaurant that serves some really nice Thai food. their menu is quite extensive and has a lot of vegetarian options.

Diner Review №4

Had crab ragoon for appetizer with cup of chicken soup and enjoyed them. Ordered chicken pad Thai and it was delicious. Sauce i enjoyed most not overpowering like many places. They were very friendly. And I love sticky rice and got with mango and coconut sauce loved it!! Can't wait to visit again.

Diner Review №5

Clean, friendly, and authentic.

Diner Review №6

Simply mediocre. Pad Thai was ok. Bland soup and overcooked egg roll.
Was on lunch special. Maybe dinner is better..?

Diner Review №7

Amazing food! So friendly and great service. Definitely going back

I Specifically requested to this restaurant's waitress who pretended she fully understood my request to prepare my rice NOT STICKY OR GUMMY! I told her 4 times! I am so tired of waitresses pretending to understand customers' requests when they have no idea what you're saying.

The rice I ordered here was very sticky gummy and the Basil Fried Rice with extra tasteless shrimp was hard and no seasoning. I taste no Basil in this mashed potato fried rice. I did not order sticky rice! Why call it Fried Rice if the darn rice is not fried! I spent $20 just for an order of rice to throw in the trash immediately after tasting it! I would not recommend this restaurant regardless of how many good reviews you read.

I will continue to repost this review repeatedly. I want to be FULLY refunded!

This place replied to refund my money. I called them for my refund and was told by the manager that I waited too long to complain. They're greedy and have horrible food!! That's a damn shame!!

I Googled how to prepare unsticky gummy rice:

To prevent the rice from becoming gummy and sticky, the key is to thoroughly rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch, use the correct water-to-rice ratio, and avoid overcooking; if your rice is already too sticky, you can try spreading it out on a baking sheet and reheating it in the oven to dry it out a bit.
Key steps to prevent gummy rice:
Rinse thoroughly:
Before cooking, rinse the rice in cold water several times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch that contributes to stickiness.

Use the right water ratio:
Follow the recommended water-to-rice ratio for your specific type of rice. Generally, less water is needed to prevent mushiness.

Don't overcook:
Cook the rice until just tender, avoiding prolonged cooking which can lead to a gummy texture.

How to fix already gummy rice:
Spread and reheat: Spread cooked rice in a single layer on a baking sheet and reheat in a low oven to dry it out slightly.
Fluff with a fork: After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains

Taste of Thai LEARN FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO PROPERLY PREPARE NON-GUMMY RICE!! Darn it!

I ordered drunken noodles with tofu. The taste really was biggest disappointment. Worst I have ever eaten in any Thai restaurant.

Diner Review №18

Diner Review №19

Came for the lunch special. I ordered chicken pad thai, rice soup, and crab rangoon. DELICIOUS!! The food came out freshly stir fried. The crab rangoon are fat with meat and cream. The soup was just big enough to be a great appetizer.

Service is great while not hovering. The restaurant itself is clean & tidy.

I will be going out of my way to drop by for lunch in the future!

Diner Review №20

Pad Thai with tofu in a vegetarian sauce was amazing.
Crazy noodles in a vegetarian sauce was amazing as well. This is by far the best Thai restaurant we have ever been to. Food and service were great. They’ll see us again soon.

Diner Review №21

Nice fast service.
I went for lunch and it was empty, food came right away.... It just tasted ok, i have eaten better.

Don't get me wrong, will still go again but there are more tasteful options nearby.

Diner Review №22

Been coming here for years. This is me and my mom's favorite Thai place around, nothing beats it. Love that they extended their hours, wishing them more business to come.

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

This place never disappoints us. Very tasty food we go there almost every week at at least ones a month !!

Diner Review №25

Diner Review №26

Had a great experience, food was quick, taste was phenomenal, and they were very kind and gave us a complementary Thai tea. Will absolutely come back.

Diner Review №27

Excellent lunch special! Comes with appetizer, soup, and an entree. So delicious, fast, and with excellent service.

Diner Review №28

Tasty food & busy place

Diner Review №29

Taste of Thai is one of our favorite takeout spots for delicious Thai food in Schaumburg. We've been frequenting it for the past ten years, and they consistently deliver fast and exceptional service. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, offering great value. We especially love the basil fried rice.

Diner Review №30

Great dining experience! The food was so good and friendly service. Never had Curry Puffs before. Soo delicious. Kind of like a Samosa but a Thai version...and the little cucumber side with it has a super tasty sauce. Different from the cucumber salad. We also enjoyed the chicken stay, which was tender, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Crazy Noodles. Definitely coming back!

Diner Review №32

This was my first visit, and I’m not very familiar with Thai food. When we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and we were seated. The tables were clean, but the walls had splatters of food and could use a wipe.

We ordered a thick noodle dish similar to pad Thai. Initially, it tasted good but was on the sweet side. However, as I continued eating, the sweetness became overwhelming and made me lose my appetite. By the end of the meal, I felt nauseous. Perhaps that’s just the way the dish is, but it was too sweet for my taste.

On a positive note, the service was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I’d rate them A+ for service.

Diner Review №33

Too sweet dish. They don’t do separate check.

Diner Review №34

amazing food and even better service

Diner Review №35

Excellent tasting food. Food came out very quick, but it may have been because we had vegetable and tofu. Didn’t matter though because the food was delicious. Lots of options for vegetarians. A must go for anyone wanting Thai!

Got some pad Thai, egg rolls and chicken satay and everything was delicious with good portion sizes. Prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be back again.

Diner Review №42

The food was phenomenal , but we left our important keys in there and the staff closed it tonight. We had to uber home. I can see that the shop is closed on both Tuesday and Wednesday so can u please leave your personal phone or contact me by this reply so that i can retrieve my keys?

Diner Review №43

Delicious Thai food with great portion sizes. Loved the basil chicken and the Panang curry. Service was quick and the staff were attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Diner Review №44

Sauce was too sweet on pad Thai, chicken was tasteless. Not worth the rating on Google. Building is super dated.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

Excellent food. Great pricing and awesome service. Thank you for doing such a great job running the place!

Diner Review №47

Love this place ...one dine in one pick up and both were fantastic. Plenty of parking..and price is great. Fresh everything on the plate. Will go back soon for my third visit. Friendly staff and really cannot say anything wrong. 5 star ! Update: 3rd visit dine in and still 5 star everything. Consistency is very important for restaurants and this place has it !

Diner Review №48

Enjoyed the red curry, the pad see ew, and the chicken satay with their peanut sauce. Also as a gift for Mother’s Day weekend they gave my wife a free Thai snack for the road.

Diner Review №49

Very reasonably priced. Food is delicous. Its my togo place for thai food!

Diner Review №50

Everything about this place is amazing. The food, the staff, and the feel. It just feels like a family restaurant, and the food is dang good! Plus the portions are very filling. Definitely recommend going here if you want some authentic Thai food!

Diner Review №51

Diner Review №52

Diner Review №53

I recently ordered take out - 4 different entree items and a side of chicken egg rolls. We have ordered Thai food from various restaurants and generally it’s always very solid, this place however, each our our items went to garbage. Honestly it didn’t resemble traditional Thai food we always had

Diner Review №54

Nicely decorated casual place. The food was just so-so. Their sauce was more like soup.

Diner Review №55

Reasonably priced. Easy location to park. Pad Thai, mini egg rolls, and spring rolls. Not a fan of peanut butter cooked in rolls. Nice on phone but overly cautious- kept asking if I knew where I called/location. GPS is an amazing technology- try it! Expected lunch but charged for dinner.

Diner Review №56

Taste of Thai is my favorite Thai restaurant. The Beef Salad with basil is the best I've had. Currys are excellent. Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №57

I have not had red curry like this Since 2011!!
Let me tell you try it, if you like spicy curry then you will fall in love with this! Little off the beaten path but well worth it!!
The crab Rangoon is great, Try the spicey pepper sauce. You like heat then try it!!

Diner Review №58

Ordered a larger order of 7 entrees for pickup, okay food, ok experience. Owner was questioning what area I am from because shes afraid I will not pickup the order, since I never been here before. Was overly concerned that I can't find the restaurant although I told her I use google maps.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

My family orders here monthly. I love their mini eggrolls, crab Rangoon, and red curry. My husband gets their fried rice and fried wide noodles.

Diner Review №62

Amazing!!! We're new to the area and are trying to replace our old go-to's. This is now at the top of the list. Classic Thai flavor and couldn't believe they had MEE KROB. Such an amazing underrated dish and so hard to find in the area. Will be back countless times!

Diner Review №63

delicious, authentic and friendly service!
medium green curry was so good and the perfect level of spiciness

Diner Review №64

Stopped in on a Saturday and really loved this place! The service was super inattentive and it’s a great deal for a lunch special. The choices are quite extensive and all the food was very fresh and flavorful. Would recommend!

Diner Review №65

There's so much to share! This restaurant is just a gem! The egg plant curry I ordered was very delicious, the flavor profile covered the whole tongue and the ensemble of textures with the marinated tofu was addicting! If you're looking for good Thai food in Hoffman Estates this is your place! I will definitely be stopping here again next time I'm passing through. Kinda bummed they're not near me house to be honest! Also the staff was very friendly, which goes a long way.

Diner Review №66

Diner Review №67

Great good. Fast service and friendly staff. I ordered takeout

Diner Review №68

Ya quiero regresar a saborear
Crazy 🍜

Diner Review №69

I am big fan of Thai food and I think this place serves really tasty dishes. Maybe I prefer more cozy atmosphere, but the food is delicious.

Diner Review №70

Can't recommend this place enough; like any good Asian restaurant it doesn't waste on appearance and gives you a lot of great food at a low price. We got the Thai Platter, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Basil Fried Rice; everything came out quick and was great, about the only thing we didn't like was the "spicy sauce" that came with the platter was insanely hot. The portions were also massive (it'll probably turn into about 8 meals for us) and it was only $40 which in this day and age is insane.

We'll definitely be back.

Diner Review №71

My favorite thai food place. Never too salty or too sweet. Always just right! And they’re quick!

Diner Review №72

Consistently too many bean sprouts in the pad thai.

Diner Review №73

Preface by saying I love this restaurant.

I ordered a few times, and the food was just ok, not good or bad. But I ordered it today, and I don’t know if they did something different, but it was great! I got yellow curry, and it was so flavorful. My wife ordered basil fried rice, and specified it was for a vegetarian, and the restaurant actually called to double check that egg in the rice was ok! Really appreciated it, and the food was really good

Diner Review №74

They used to have very friendly superior service around three to four years ago. Maybe the owner has changed since then. I went there for lunch last week and ordered curry dish. I was told the curry is not really a curry but it's more like stir fried with curry flavor. So she meant there is very little soup. So I asked her if I can have additional soup for additional fee. She said no. I asked if she can separate rice and curry in two plates. She said no. She gave me an usual (not for lunch) menu and if I want curry I can order from the different menu. My partner ordered crab lagoon. She said it's not crunchy. I assume she meant it's oily? By this time she took the usual menu away from our table so we didn't know what's are available. A curry without soup and a crab lagoon not crunchy...... And she added she tried to explain what we could expect to have because she didn't think we (Asians) wouldn't know about how to eat Thai foods. We politely excused ourselves from the restaurant without having lunch there. We drove a few minutes from there to have a wonderful Thai lunch experience at Thai Garden near by. We will never go back to this restaurants anymore......

Diner Review №75

Delicious food!

Diner Review №76

Exceptional food from this little, unassuming place, located in a strip mall. Great find.

Diner Review №77

Pad Thai was very smelly and tasted very bad, enjoyed the chicken PaNang but chicken Pad Thai brought my views so down to zero rating.

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

My wife and I have come here for 2 and a half years. We love the food here and the service. We take out primarily, but we have dined in. Anything we try we always end up enjoying. We have tried other Thai places and this is the best one we have found.

Diner Review №80

Diner Review №82

This is a place where the food/dishes looks and tastes better than the pictures.

Diner Review №83

Best fried rice

Diner Review №84

Red curry was amazing!

Diner Review №85

I live in Peoria where we have no Thai food so when we up in the Chicago area we searched for a Thai restaurant that had yellow curry. This was THE place! The yellow curry was fantastic! My husband had the panang curry and loved it. They didn’t ask us spice level like some Thai places do but they nailed it. It wasn’t too spicy and we really enjoyed the flavour. We also enjoyed the Pad Thai, crab Rangoon, egg rolls and my daughter loved the fried rice. Thai iced tea was delicious as was my all time favourite dessert, mango with sticky rice! Service was great! Very attentive and polite. We will definitely make the drive up to eat here again.

Diner Review №86

This restaurant's food tastes very good. And they are very accommodating to my special needs. Very friendly. My coworkers ordered from them all the time.

Diner Review №87

Great curry and appetizers. Very enjoyable. Will be back.

Diner Review №88

Diner Review №89

Awesome food, maybe the best Thai food in Schaumburg. I come here regularly and they know my taste buds (and my family's). Nothing has ever gone wrong here - I eat super spicy food and they make it perfectly - my wife eats vegetarian no meat no fish sauce not spicy and they make it perfectly also.

The owners are very pleasant, always smiling and you can see that they genuinely appreciate you and your business as well as the fact that they take pride in their food.

Diner Review №90

Probably the BEST Thai food in the area!

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №92

July,17th around 330pm
Very rude customer service
Unacceptable
No wonder restaurant was empty
Needs to learn to provide options rather than chasing customer off with poor excuses

Diner Review №93

Had a carry out order and when I arrived they said they closed the kitchen and did not have my order. Asked if I wanted to wait 20 min for them to open back up for me (did not seem very pleased to do so) and made it seem like I was a bother even coming in. Really disappointed as we just moved to town and love thai food! Very sad.

Diner Review №94

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in the western suburbs, and I’ve tried ALOT. Food tastes great, portions are really large, and the service is always very good. Probably one of the best curry puffs I’ve ever had too.

Diner Review №95

It's our favorite place, the food is tasty, the people are really friendly. We love it

Diner Review №96

Diner Review №97

Very good Thai food in town.

Diner Review №98

We ordered the Khao soi and the pad kra pao gai. Both dishes were very flavorful and seasoned well. They offered a chili sauce that was both slightly sweet and spicy. I wouldn't have minded a spicier condiment but this one was nice. The Khao soi was creamy, rich, and had the fresh lime and fried noodles for acidity and texture contrast. The pad kra pao gai had a very balanced flavor from the Thai basil and peppers. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. I highly recommend taste of Thai and look forward to coming back.

Diner Review №99

I had the Chicken Pad Thai chicken, had a slight sweet flavor with less than average amount of chicken. I also tasted the Vegetable Crazy Noodles, came with healthy portion of veggies.

Diner Review №100

I have been coming here probably going on 20 years. This little strip mall has some of the best restaurants in Hoffman Estates. Taste of Thai is certainly one of the best. From the mini eggrolls to the lunch specials and everything in between, they consistently provide quality Thai food with great service. I used to travel a lot and this place was between my home and O'Hare Airport. I will now go out of my way to visit this great restaurant. I took my son there recently and he ranked it up there as one of his favorite Thai restaurants.

Diner Review №101

Love this place! Food is very tasty and always fresh. This is our number one place for take out when we want something that never disappoints.

Diner Review №102

One of our go to lunch places! The lunch menu is incredibly affordable and always very tasty. Went here for dinner the other day and had the duck curry, I legitimately don't think I've ever eaten a tastier curry dish.

Diner Review №103

Diner Review №104

The Pad Thai was delicious. I’m definitely going back when I’m in the area again.

Diner Review №105

My favorite Thai restaurant!! So delicious, great prices. I definitely recommend :)

Diner Review №106

Diner Review №107

Diner Review №108

We love it here! Food is delicious, the padthai is not so soggy like other places and pad see ew is amazing also! customer service is great!

Diner Review №109

Diner Review №110

Fast service, great food.

Diner Review №111

I've gone back to Taste of Thai several times and they have never let me down. They consistently make great tasting dishes, the crazy noodles are to die for.

Highly recommend this place.

Diner Review №112

Absolutely delicious! Fresh, clean, nice and friendly service.

Diner Review №113

Diner Review №114

The wait staff made me feel so at home. Food was way above average! Great portions for the price. Would come here all the time if I lived here!

Diner Review №115

Thank you taste of Thai! We get an amazing meal from you at least once a week, and they made a special veggie dish that my 3 year old loves

Update 1/2023
Still as delicious as always. I came in for the lunch special with a friend. We had the panang curry and the green curry and also ordered the Tom yum soup with shrimp. Excellent and full of flavor. The egg rolls were so good I was tempted to order another one. The banana sticky rice desert was authentic in a banana leaf and was a great ending to a nice lunch.
—————
Update 11/2022

Taste of Thai is a hidden gem that you must try if you like Thai food. I had their lunch take out a few months ago that was very good. I’ve been meaning to try them for dinner with my husband. The dinner was amazing! Everything was clean, quality, taste and portions of the food were excellent! The Tom yum soup came out piping hot and had a great amount of chicken and vegetables. The chicken egg rolls were a nice size and had a nice flavor to them. We also ordered shrimp Pad Thai that had premium large shrimp that tasted authentic and fresh. We ordered the chicken pa-nang curry that was so good, rich and creamy that we couldn’t stop eating it! The food is consistent and they give very generous portions on everything we ordered. Lastly the fried ice cream is like eating a little cake with ice cream. The whole dining experience was very very enjoyable. Our waitress Yoni (apologies if I misspelled) and the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. This is our new go to for authentic Thai cuisine!
————

I came here impromptu as it was close to an errand I was running. Pleasantly surprised by this quaint little family run restaurant. I ordered the Pad Thai lunch special w/chicken to go. The lunch special comes with choice of egg roll, crab rangoon, rice or other item. Restaurant was very clean, neat and orderly. Menu is simple and has a lot of variety to choose from. Food was made super fast and wrapped nicely. They give a very nice portion size and the flavors are authentic and delicious! I ordered with chicken and they didn’t disappoint as there was many large pieces in with the noodles. I loved the cabbage and carrot crunch with the noodles. I chose the egg roll which was super crispy, flavorful and decently sized. I did see others plates being served in the dining room as I waited for my take out. All the food looked amazing. They also had Thai authentic coffee, tea and drinks to choose from! I really liked that this is a small intimate place. I’ll return with friends and try their other items. The staff is very pleasant and eager to please to make sure you are satisfied.

Diner Review №119

Really good food

Diner Review №120

I really wanted to give this place five stars as I was expecting to be blown away based off previous reviews. However I was underwhelmed, the crab Rangoon didn’t have any crab in it, I was extremely disappointed as I’ve never had crab Rangoon with no crab. The food was warm, I live about sox minutes away so I’m not sure why, the Thai rice wasn’t flavorful however the chili sauce saved the day. It was very good and helped me finish my meal. Overall I would say the food was just okay, I don’t think I’ll visit again.

Diner Review №121

Fantastic spot! Had it for carry out. Ready on based on my online order. Friendly service inside. Nicely packed was still hot when I got it home about 20 minutes away. Also priced well—solid value based on portion sizes.

Will be back even though it’s a bit out of my way!

Diner Review №122

Not real Thai foods. Taste not made for people who know what Thai foods supposed to taste.

Diner Review №123

Diner Review №124

Amazing Food!

Diner Review №125

Diner Review №126

It is affordable thai cousine seving from 2$ rice bowls and tom yom soups to elaborate Asian food. The waiters are friendly and helpful.

Diner Review №127

Diner Review №128

We visited this place the first time and not last!
Definitely they serve the best-fried rice I ever ate! Nice atmosphere and staff .

Diner Review №129

Loved it here! Great food, really enjoyed my Thai Tea and red curry

Diner Review №130

If you are after authentic and delicious thai cuisine - this is your spot! The place seems to be clean and the food is always fresh, well prepared and presented. I usually go for take out and cooking time is always quick and packaging is thoughtful. My favorite dish at Taste of Thai is curry and pad thai. Recommended!

Diner Review №131

Great food and super friendly.

Diner Review №132

Diner Review №133

A rare gem that is still as good today as it was 20 yrs ago! After living out of state for years, we had dinner here tonight and were thrilled that it was better than we remembered! Great, authentic Thai food at very reasonable prices. Very friendly and timely service.

Diner Review №139

Diner Review №140

Fresh vegetables and spices excellent service from the staff

Diner Review №141

Traveled through and picked up to-go. Was amazing and authentic! Best crab ragoon I have ever had. Would recommend.

Diner Review №142

The food was delicious and very nice customer service. The server and owner was very accommodating of our dietary restriction (vegetarian and nut free) and very helpful and patient with all the questions.

Diner Review №143

This is a small place hosted by an amazing group of women. Less wait time, gracious hospitality and amazing taste. Best part is that they easily make vegetarian options from their menu. Must try!

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

Diner Review №146

Excellent Thai food. Absolutely would go again!!

Diner Review №147

I had gotten the chicken satay and beef pad thai. Both items lacked some flavor and was salty. The noodles in the pad thai where mushy and the beef was chewy. The service was good. I won't be coming back though. I think that Dan Thai is better.

Diner Review №148

So delicious!!! Everything we tried was wonderful! The curry was excellent.

Diner Review №149

Good portion size. Delicious food. Shared the Green Curry and Penang Curry.

Diner Review №150

Service was polite and efficient

Pad Thai was flavorful and tasty

Will make this a favorite in my travels

Enjoy with friends

Diner Review №151

Pad thai, penang curry was really good. Drunken noodle was ok, it was liquidy runny, not like other thai restaurants. Curry fried rice was perfect 👍. Overall I would order again. I will try crazy noodle next time.

Diner Review №152

The best place for Thai food in Chicago.

Diner Review №153

The reviews did not steer us wrong. Nice chicken Panjang and the chef's special orange chicken. Verryyy happy to have leftover for lunch!

Diner Review №154

I've been to places where I ordered a lot less food and got charged 3x's more than I did here. This hidden gem is vegan friendly and service is as impeccable as the food. This beautiful, warm restaurant is definitely going to be a place to take the family over and over again

Diner Review №155

Terrific food, love the authentic flavors! Great lunch menu.

Diner Review №156

Decided to try this place for lunch per the star rating. Gave the chicken pad thai lunch special a try. Lots of chicken and food. The sauce of the pad thai was a bit sweeter than what I like, and was not a huge fan of the egg roll that came with it.

I will try a different dish another time around but just wasnt too satisfied of the dish this time around.

Diner Review №157

The best most consistent Thai food!!! We drive over 30 mins just to get it! Sooo good!!

Diner Review №158

Diner Review №159

Diner Review №160

The best Thai we ever had. If you are vegetarian like me, then they take care of that and accordingly make changes to their dishes. The staff is super good. They rock!

Diner Review №161

The best food in the city!!! Amazing so tasty!!! Highly recommend very nice people!! Love it!!

Diner Review №162

Good food but I wish they got more options for Thai people or more authentic food

Diner Review №163

Very tasty. Had curry puffs, crab Rangoon, pad see ew beef and Panang chicken. Will have to go back to try some other things. Worth the drive for me.

Diner Review №166

This is the best Thai place you'll find in the area. 10/10 Recommend trying out!

Diner Review №167

Wow! Huge portions, great flavors. I ordered chicken pad thai and the balance of flavors were great. I tried the fried egg roll.. that might have been the best fried egg roll. I should’ve taken a picture before I ate but luckily I have leftovers and for a great price.

I can’t wait to come back and try more. great atmosphere, great service, great food. Thank you!

Diner Review №168

Pretty average. Wrong order in my take out. Chicken is NOT tofu. Expensive sticky rice should be cooked right, not hard in the middle and soggy on the outside.
Flavors weren't that great.
I eat a ton of Thai, at home and out at restaurants, and I would try many other places before this one.

Diner Review №169

The Tom Kha soup was soothing to the soul. I hadn't had a bowl in a really long time. The Pad Thai was on the sweet side and satisfying. Well prepared, well executed no frills Thai cooking. Enjoy.

Diner Review №170

Awesome food! Got the pad thai and chicken pot stickers!

Everything we ate was fantastic. My tofu salad was plated creatively, the tofu was crispy and perfectly prepared. Service was attentive and friendly, and the menu is priced appropriately.

We will visit Taste of Thai every time we want Thai - other than the strip-mall ambiance, everything about Taste of Thai hits all the high points you'd want in a restaurant.

Their pad thai is great! It's tangy not overly sweet like some places do it. Staff is so nice, too.

Tom Kha is good here. They have a nice decor inside with wooden carved ornaments and Thai art. The staff is kind and everything is reasonably priced. I’ve eaten here maybe four or five times. Thankfully there’s a lot of good Thai food in the area. This is one of the better restaurants. I would suggest giving them a shot.

I've ordered here numerous times to the point of it becoming my regular and favorite place. Even though the drive for me is a little far, the food is very much worth it. Amazing customer service as well, couldn't rate highly enough 👍

Genuinely the best egg roll I've ever had. You must try them from here if you enjoy them. Pad Thai was pretty sweet, but still great and the crab rangoon was very flavourful. Try their Hawaiian Iced Tea if you want to enjoy a tropical twist on your standard tea. Will 100% be coming back and recommending to friends and family

Diner Review №186

Authentic, and very good, as expected from reading all the reviews.

Diner Review №187

There’s a reason they have been open for 20 years. Pretty amazing and truly authentic. Really can’t go wrong with anything here but their shrimp, chicken and papaya salads are off the charts along with their curry dishes and main entrees. Throughly impressed and I drive 15 miles to get this over all the rest.

Diner Review №188

Great taste & friendly service. Tam yam soup, penang curry, woonsen pad Thai all good. A little meaty (American style) so next time will ask for more veggies. Dine in is small but cozy and clean.

Ordered Tom kha tofu and Tom yum chicken and tofu satay. The Tom kha was the best I’ve had in illinois. It was authentic thai flavor. The chicken tom yum was also amazing my spouse said. It was authentic thai flavor me. It’s hard to find soups flavored right . I’m definitely going to be ordering here again. I hope it’s always this good!

Excellent basil fried rice and pad Thai. Great flavor balance on both dishes. Number 2 spicy was nice flavor, not hot, just flavorful.

I had ordered chef’s special Bangkok noodles and spring rolls. The spring rolls came with a serving of peanut sauce and the sauce was delicious! Loved it. The Bangkok noodles was tasty too but it wasn’t spectacular. Overall I loved the staff and food. I will visit again!
