    Pork Thai Fried Rice
    Sui L.

    Hidden gem I really like the interior and ambiance of this restaurant i tried the claypot and it was really good. Love mango sticky rice too. I would definitely come back 10/10

    Good food noodles were a little dry but otherwise great kids enjoyed the food nice week night dinner lots of veggies

    I've frequented Bodhi more times than I can count . While the food quality is phenomenal and I've never ever received an incorrect order, the dine in service is just okay. The reason is largely due to its size, the layout and presence of a kitchen window which is reminiscent of a dining while sitting on a barstool. There's no buffer and little separation from the kitchen and dining area. Add to that I am not a fan of a sheet of white paper spread across linens. On the upside, there's much to be said about dining at a place where you're recognized as a regular and your order is remembered, if I had to guess, their takeout business is more active than dine in.

    Vegetable Egg Roll

    Haven't had Thai food in a while, so we decided to go to a new place other than our usual. The interior is rustic with statues and decorations, much like I saw when I visited Thailand. Service was quick, and the food came out quickly. We got the lunch special, which includes one entree, an appetizer, and a soup of the day. All this for just $11.95 is a great deal, even if it is from a shortened menu. The soup was actually a highlight with its flavor being similar to a chicken noodle, but slightly different and an excellent contrast in texture with the crispy in the soup. The pot sticker was nicely fried but didn't have too much flavor on the inside. The flavor of this dish was mostly just from the soy based sauce it came with. The egg roll was actually worse, though. I get that it is all vegetables on the inside, but I expected some sort of flavor. Massaman curry was the main entree, and it was quite good as well. I was a little let down by the small amount of curry included with the dish. I feel like more curry would have made the flavors pop more. Overall, it was a good dish with fresh vegetables and your choice of meat, but the curry itself was a bit too diluted for my personal preference. I prefer my curry to have more of a punch. With that all said, this is a great option for a lunch for the price alone. I'll try the dinner options next time for a chance to taste the differences, if there are any. Give it a try!

    I called the restaurant as the owner offered to rectify the issue. Owners were not on-site. Separately, I do not feel comfortable receiving a meal 'on the house'. Serving burnt steamed rice is not a mistake but a statement. No, thanks.

    I used to live near the area for 10+yrs. I would always order take out, never dined in. Now we live farther away from this place but we missed the food and decided to down it. WOW. What an amazing experience. Went in on a Sunday night with my two kiddos and husband. This place screams with cleanliness. Bathrooms, clean, atmosphere clean, dinnerware clean. Cups and utensils all clean! Usually we have to request new ones because they are filthy. But not here! I even drank for the glass cup which I never do. The food was beyond amazing! My husband got a beef stew and finished the whole thing! My kiddos ate all of their chicken skewers. We couldn't stop thinking of our amazing experience. 10/10

    The food is Thai but not the best or near the best Thai I've had. It's ok in a pinch, but nothing to gush over or to remember.

    The food is always delicious! It is a small family owned business. Since moving to Oak Park, I frequent this place at least once a month.

    Best Thai in the area. Basil noodles are an absolute family favorite and you can't go wrong with the pad Thai and potstickers.

    I got lucky it was raining on and off and got to sit on the patio w my dog. I ordered the springs…read morerolls as an appetizer, so good and crispy , fresh/refreshing... I love the basil or mint that in there. The dipping sauce compliments the rolls. Onto my next app, I got a small tom kha soup, with shrimp! Also refreshing and comforting. I've never experienced the flavors in this soup until THIS SOUP. it does have coconut milk (which might sound a bit weird ... but trust me) it blends heavenly w the all the flavors in it. I got one sushi roll thinking it was gonna be 4-6 pieces of sushi... it was more like 14-16 pieces of sushi! But I have a big appetite anyway. The roll I got and recommend Is called HOLY COW. And honestly, that was my reaction when I saw how big it was haha. The ambience is very cozy and quiet. I'm here early and most ppl are at work. The service is phenomenal they went above and beyond for me and my pup and the food recommendations were exquisite. I got a jasmine tea to warm and digest after the big meal I had. I got a Long Island ice tea! And coconut pudding with taro!! OMG the dessert was delicious ! I did not know what to expect. I loved the flavor and texture.(there's no picture because I ate it before I could take one.) I'll def be coming back !!

    Usually I'm a bit skeptical of places doing multiple cuisine but this place does both well! There…read morewere a lot of people coming in for takeout but not dine-in. Waitress was very attentive since it wasn't too busy. Ordered pad Thai, red curry, tum yum soup, papaya salad, and a few rolls. Everything came out relatively quick! Flavors were great, wish the papaya salad was spicier though. Their Thai tea has too much cream/H&H where it masks the tea flavor

    Had a fantastic dinner at Habrae in Forest Park…read more The food, cocktails, and service were all fantastic. We tried several dishes, but our favorites were definitely the Chicken Satay and Massaman Curry. Both were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. Great food, great drinks, and even better company. Habrae is definitely worth a visit!

    The service slow but sincere. No one was in a hurry. There were many Interesting sushi choices but…read moremany included too many unnecessary additional sauces and or spreads. I don't need spicy mayos or exotic spreads because those mask the fish. I always wonder why the main ingredients are not allowed to stand alone, without the sauces? I guess I am a purist. The sushi rolls were good, although the eel was much more flavorful. The salmon roll had many things in it which I cannot identify. The salmon was either a paste or tiny bits of leftover salmon pressed together. It felt like cheating. It was ok, a bit mushy and I would not order it again. The Shumai was disappointing because the pork (?) and shrimp combination was also a paste and mushy. No distinct shrimp or pork flavor or actual pieces of shrimp or pork. Again, it seemed like leftover bits from other prepped dishes. The flavor was nondescript and the dipping sauce didn't suit it. The spicy garlic shrimp spaghetti was a winner. Plenty of jumbo shrimp and one had a choice of heat level. The dish was pronounced excellent. Yay! We would go back but order differently. The staff was nice but the service was slow, especially because they were not crowded.
