I paid 16.50 for this and they can't even fill the bowl. And the flavor is bland. Rip off. I will never order again.TERRIBLE

Unbelievable Thai food, very authentic. Tom yum soup with seafood did not disappoint. All the food was hot and fresh, extra crispy egg rolls & the carrot salad was the perfect fresh, crunchy side to the rich soup. Absolutely delicious!!

I really don't want to write this review as this is a tiny family joint. However, the tom yum noodle soup we were served was tragically bad. It was a murky grey with some sad fish cakes and a scattering of ground meat. It was neither salty, sweet, sour or spicy. I literally don't know how it is the same dish as the rich red soup I see in other images and the namesake of the restaurant.The somtum was fine and the larb was a pretty sad take as well with bland ground meat in a one-dimensional dressing. It has nothing on Aroy Thai's version. I see no reason to frequent this place with so many great Thai restaurants in Chicago.

This is a very cozy, casual and small family owned thai restaurant that I like to visit when I want a quiet thai meal.Honestly the homemade soups ? are a favorite of mine and I love their thai iced teas and iced coffees.Egg rolls and chicken satay is always a self bet and there are many other appealing appetizers to choose from.Most people pick the soup because it's always so hearty and even though the owners are from Thailand ?? they also offer Vietnamese pho!Great prices and the owners are so kind. It's a pleasure to support a family owned business that's unpretentious and offers a wide array of enticing food.

Their menu is 10 years old and they will not update it. Be warned - what you see online is no longer accurate ‍

Ordered pad thai from here and it is really good! Not my favorite but definitely a great option. It is a good price for how much you get, pretty large portion compared to some other places. Easy order online pickup in store to go
