This is our go-to takeout spot. They have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The massaman curry and basil fried rice are my personal favorites. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and spices. I've had the chive dumplings, fried tofu, veggie egg roll, cucumber salad. (All marked vegan on the menu which I highly appreciate). The panang curry was waaaay too spicy for me so I'm sticking with massaman. I haven't dined in but whenever I pick up take out, the staff is super friendly and the restaurant has a peaceful atmosphere.

We ordered Chicken Pad Thai w/peanuts on the side. Came with no peanuts and tasted of bbq sauce. :(We ordered Tom Kha soup w/shrimp. Delicious but so small and bowl was filled with onions more than anyone could possibly consume with that soup.We ordered Papaya Salad. It was underwhelming. I’ve never had green beans so hard and some of the tomatoes tasted old.We ordered Thai Iced Tea w/boba. It tasted like someone sprayed perfume on wood and soaked it in water with a little milk.Prices were ok, a little more than I would’ve preferred for the quality but it was a really nice environment. I also appreciated that the menu had everything labeled for [Vegetarian] or [Gluten Free]. This was impressive! Staff was nice but not intrusive.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free and Vegetarian options clearly labeled. I am not celiac so that was enough for me.Parking: Easy at 3:30-4pm on a cloudy Saturday.

Top notch all around. The owners were wonderful and welcoming. The food delicious.The atmosphere sophisticated and relaxed.
Easily some of the best Thai food I've had in this area. The service is excellent and the ambiance inside of the restaurant is really nice. Excellent Khao Soi!

Lovely,caring Thai sweetheart couple who run their 1st restaurant after many decades of Thai eatery work & bringing their own Thai personal family preferences for best flavor profile! Amazing interpretation of 3 SPICE flavor(made locally famous by world reknown Chicago's Arun's Thai) & their own Massaman curry(peanuts & potato);rich,creamy/spicy cocunut milk based curry! Wow! AS FOR DESSERT OPTIONS!; best on menu?! maybe Chicago?! Most delicate,puffy,melt-in-ur mouth CRAB RAGOON! (w/ plenty of crab!); $8?! Potstickers close 2nd! The recommended-by-owner (him),red curry(spicy!,level 5 of 10 heat) w/ jumbo($16?) shrimp! Spectacular! Massaman curry great ($15?) Enough protein(shrimp & chicken respectively),accompanied by overly generous,crystalized,white,moist,fluffy? (best i have had!),jasmine rice! Must have dozen+! desserts! (see name of eatery)! DESSERTS! Bakery fresh options to make this Thai eatery.separate itself from the industry! Wine & sake offerings are broad based enough,& very fair $10-$13,w/ surprising wide sake options. I was served by friendly sweet,timely,educated female server,while male owner came over frequently, (not over-bearing) visits to our table to assist in appetizer,entree,& dessert expert guidance! Very welcoming,cozy,Thailand decorated atmosphere. Only 1 complaint! Only 1 fresh fish option; lowly,boring,bottom feeder tilipia! Need to add catfish,red snapper,or at very least sole fish! That will directly effect my frequency (& my $),of visits since I mainly eat healthy seafood,while chicken a far off 2nd choice. Otherwise! This is a near west burb BEST THAI EATERY(5 STAR!),now suffiently replacing recently closed,nearby Amarind's(Arun's owned),& match/equal top notched,10yr+ Berwyn BODHI THAI(seafood specialty). ENJOY FOLKS! This is a WINNER! Especially,when Thai,Chinese & less-so Japanese eateries SERIOUSLY,lack any decadent,tasty,bakery type, or broad-based DESSERT complimentary options! THIS FILLS A INDUSTRY VOID! Thank you to the lovely,caring,locally-based Thai couple! Finally;plenty of nearby Forest Park Madison St. corridor parking (both free & $1/hr next door options)! Closed Tuesdays(strategic!) NOT local industry standard Mondays!Vegetarian options: None
