Delicious food and I continue to try different dishes. All curry dishes are top notch. It seems to be a possible family business and the food is better when the more experienced chef(s) prepare the food. Service with a warm smile too.

I've been a customer since they had the restaurant in the last spot. The food from this place is the best Thai food I've ever had in the 15 years living here. The cooking method and season everything perfectly. Noodles my favorite Pad see eiw. My husband is shrimp fried rice. Most of all 1. Satay chicken sticks with a sweet satay sauce..... yummmWheelchair accessibility: Not very big inside and a small door for entry

Food is delicious, authentic Thai. This place is one of my favorites, but Bangkok Thai in Crystal Lake / Lake In The Hills is probably the best in the area, but this place has good Thai as well.

Came across this restaurant on the whim and I was pleasantly surprised by their food and prices. I ordered delivery, so I can't speak on the dine in experience, but food was packaged well and came warm. I thought overall the portion sizes were generous for the low prices. I ordered pad eggplant, pad Thai, and pad khee mao, all including a protein of choice. Food was overall slightly blander than most, but I prefer food that's less salty!

1st time there and I had hair in my food!! Brought to their attention and order was taken off I totally ordered a different plate, didn’t want to just switch plates . I ordered spicy beef Mongolia VERY SMALL portion for a lunch special, ( probably like a 1/2 cup of food) for $10.95 and you get 2 crab ragoons which were ?. No crab, just celery & carrots no flavor with cream cheese, really disappointed was really looking forward to a new place. Service was good. Might try 1 more time before I no longer go back. But I agree with some reviews portions are rather small for price and very limited to veggies in dishes. This was at the Sycamore location. Hopefully they’ll start to wear hairnets or a head covering of some sort.SHOULD DEFINITELY WEAR HAIRNETS

Great food a bit pricey but well worth it. We did pick up and were very happy with the freshness

Absolutely horrible. Will never go back. The onions in the fried rice were not even cooked and the dish had no flavor. The beef in the curry noodle dish was grey. Could not even eat more then 2 bites

The food is so authentic. It made me remember my trip to Bangkok. The servings are a bit small but the taste justifies it along with how heavy the food is when you start eating already. The server/cashier was also very kind. He says he gives free crab rangoon from time to time. Will definitely buy food from here again.

This is our go to restaurant for "Great Thai" several times per week. We can always count on consistent Thai food, no matter what we order. This is a hidden gem in South Elgin, that I hope never changes.
This is mostly a take out place but they do have 3 tables inside and a couple more outside. Parties over 4 persons cannot dine in. We did dine in and it is very cute and cozy with great service. The food was delicious and I believe very authentic. No alcohol is served here but they have a wide variety of delicious smoothies along with soft drinks and Thai standards. Our group went with the smoothies and everyone enjoyed them.

I have been wanting to order from this place for a while. Today I placed an online order for my lunch at the wrong place thinking I had ordered it from Thai Town when I get there I realized I never made the order for Thai Town but I still decided to order Pad Thai. The gentleman at the front was super nice and he asked if I wanted the Lunch Special which was smaller and cheaper & came with two crab rangoons, I said Yes. I get the box and it feels super light. The portion was extremely small, I literally could finish it in like 4 spoonfuls & the crab rangoons were tiny. They were very soggy and EXPENSIVE for the portion! I will stick to White Pearl in Elgin.

Ordered their Mongolian beef lunch special. Came out to like $14. Opened it up and it was the smallest portion I've ever gotten from any place. Looked like a kids meal.

I have been to many many thai restaurants. This place has the best tom yam and pad kee mao!! The cook/ the owner is a 65 year old thai woman, just so lovely. Definely come back.

The Pad Thai was really good and they were priced average for the amount they give you
