I don't know what's going on with Bodhi Thai Bistro, but it's not good. We've been eating at this place since it opened many many years ago. The problems lately have been bad. Making it so bad we won't be going back. I'll say, the food quality has been good. The service has been about the same since day one. Those aren't the problem. The problem are: - The food has doubled and tripled in the past few years! We know this because we've been regulars the whole time. We always save our menus and replace them every couple years. - The food portions have shrunk. You use to be able to eat off orders, like basil chicken or pad see ew. Same with the appetizers. The crab rangoon's are hardly filled anymore and tiny. Not sure what's going on, but until they change things we won't be back. Yes, we understand inflation, but these changes are not in line with standards. read more

The best Thai food I've had in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Massaman curry is absolutely incredible--the sauce alone is worth the visit. It has just enough spice to please the palate without overwhelming the rich, balanced flavors. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommended! read more

Awesome place. Good service with good food. Really nice atmosphere. One of the few places I go to on the regular.

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. read more

I've ordered from Bodhi for a few years now; I always order the same thing. I order the Basil Fried Rice with added tofu. I have found none better elsewhere. On my recent visit, I tried something new the Red Curry and the Green Curry; both delicious. Now I have a new dish to put in rotation. Bodhi is likely to be my favorite Thai restaurant in the United States. read more

I placed an online order for vegetable pad thai and fried tofu. Easy site to use, the order was ready super fast and tasted delicious! I ate it way too quick to take a picture...sorry read more

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! read more

Came here on a whim for dinner on Memorial Day and we were pleasantly surprised at the taste of our food. Prices were typical. We found the Pad See Ew to be to cooked very well. I asked for medium hot and didn't find it to be that spicy, so I can tell their spice level definitely caters to non-thai people. Our server was friendly and prompt with our ordering/receiving plates. The lady who came by to the table to bring us the check was also very friendly. I think she may be the owner! read more

Celebrating the move of my young friends to their new house we order from here as we were all hungry after getting the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen usable for their first night at their house. Really surprised in a good way!! Fast delivery, good food, and plenty. We shared Pot Stickers Red Curry Pad Thai Basil Noodles Fresh Spring Roll Lard Na Small White Rice and some other delicious dishes. Sorry, I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures. Everything was delicious. My friends will be ordering form here more often. read more

Bodhi Thai is delicious. Everything I order tastes yummy and full of flavor. The service is fast and without a hitch. My only issue is that sometimes the chicken is a bit dry and not very flavorful. So that's why they lost a star for me . I haven't ordered the beef or pork so I cannot comment on that. read more

Our go-to place for over 15 years. Excellent standards - pad thai, panang curry, crab rangoon - and some other less expected dishes that have become standards for us. We order out most often, but dine-in is a nice experience (and BYOB!). Only complaint is that we often think to order Thai on Tuesdays for some reason, but Bodhi is closed that day. Tonight we tried another place nearby. It was good, but not nearly as good, so it seemed like time to finally say nice things about Bodhi publicly. read more

If you're looking for fairly priced Thai food, this is the place! Bodhi has an incredible lunch special! For $11.95, you can pick an appetizer, get the soup of the day, and an entree. There are lots of options for entrees ranging from plates to curry and noodles. Their normal menu prices are also very reasonable. For the lunch special, I ordered the eggrolls and pad thai; the soup of the day was tofu and rice soup. I personally did not like the eggrolls. Despite being a lunch special entree, the pad thai serving size was generous! I couldn't finish all the food. I would note that the pad thai is a bit on the sweeter side, but otherwise very good. The interior is clean and well decorated. The staff are friendly and fast. But most importantly, the pricing is amazing and the food is decent. This is probably the best Thai restaurant in this area - taking into account both food and price. Definitely will be back to try more! read more

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.

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. read more

Bodhi Thai Bistro - White rice scraped from the bottom of the pot and served with curry for $16 - Thai Near Me - Berwyn, Illinois

Do not order the pork. It's dry and bland and they charge you extra for it. It was so bad that I was convinced it was chicken. Called the restaurant to ask if they could replace it and surprise, it's the same bland meat. The restaurant wanted the meal back but I had already opened and tasted it. So petty. Crab Rangoon was good though. RESPONSE: if it's pork shoulder, then say that on the menu. Very simple things to avoid confusion. read more

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 read more

Dined here on a Wednesday evening and was immediately seated. The ambiance is great and service was superb. The waiter made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered: 1. Crab Fried rice (the best dish we had here) 2. The clay pot (it was ooook) 3. Chicken pad Thai (good but the noodles were over cooked and was too soft and soggy) 4. Tom Kha (very mild and delicious Overall, I would recommend the fried rice but rest was alright. The service was good!! read more

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.

Ordered crab Rangoon and pad Thai chicken for take out. The Pad Thai flavor was not good.. I ordered the dish to be spicy and the noodles were seasoned with burnt chili flakes. Not to mention only 4 pieces of chicken were mixed in with the noodles. Will not be ordering from here again read more

Came here last weekend. Had a good time. It was a lot cooler than I had anticipated with the outdoor seating so I wasn't a but uncomfortable, but that's mostly my fault. The food here was... Fine. We had tom kha soup, red curry, and pad ke mao. I'd say the soup was the highlight. Loved that. The red curry was fine. Noodles I liked the least. Overall decent enough food if you're in the area. Overall nice work. Thanks! read more

I stoped by here for a quick dinner last week. The space was nice and clean and the service was also good. The food was alright. The pad Thai was too sweet and didn't have enough flavor. I ended up mixing in some of the red curry to spice it up. The red curry was good but not anything crazy. Could have been flavored some more as well. read more

We came here for lunch and took advantage of their lunch special. The inside decor was very nice and their service was great. The only challenging thing about lunch was finding where to park. I ordered my usual Pad Khee Mao and my wife ordered her Pad See Ewe. The lunch special came with their soup of the day, and an appetizer for each order. I chose their pot stickers, and my wife chose their crab Rangoon. Both were very good, but the crab Rangoon definitely hit the spot. That Thai sweet and sour sauce it came with was off the chain. My Pad khee mao was also very tasty. I always make sure I order it very spicy. The only thing that killed it for me was the bean sprouts. Not a fan and I felt like it took the flavor away from the rest of the dish. We then finished off our lunch with sticky rice and mango. Here they dye their rice green and add whip cream on top. Their service was phenomenal. Very welcoming, food kept coming in a timely matter. I would definitely be returning. read more

Food is awesome. However if you do not have reservations they look at you funny, even though clearly there are available seating. So make those reservations. They had a Valentines Day Special menu and it was delicious. Good flavor in their food. Service is slow. It's hard to consider leaving a 20% tip because service is so slow. They seat you and forget about you. Water refills were slow, asking for extra napkins was slow. Ambiance: the place is really small and if there is a crying child you are trapped. The floor is not carpeted so the noise echos and travels. The people/ servers: they are nice, and pleasant. They give you lots of space. read more

Good portion size. Not a long wait. Service was good. Table setting felt formal but nice.

I've ordered takeout from here a couple times and everything is very solid. I can recommend both the Panang Curry and the Pad Thai. Reasonable prices for what you get. read more

My husband brought some food home from this Thai Restuarant. He took a chance with them when he was traveling out of town. What we loved about it was the vegetables with every dish. Very good; not any soy sauce put in the food. Very good; Good quality food; I would recommend. This is different from chinese food. read more

very good pad kee mow, pad woon sen and pad thai. beef salad, thai iced coffee and iced tea also very good.

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

A wonderful restaurant. our out of town guests have loved the delucious choices every time.Last night our waitress was kind enough to present cakes I bought from our favorite out of town bakery to my husband for his birthday complete with very tall exotic cabdle. everyone loved their curries and the cucumber salad was to die for. read more

I called never have going here before and asked for suggestions on what to order. The woman on the phone was very friendly. She asked what I typically order at a Thai restaurant and I told her the pad Khea mao with tofu. She said there's is exceptional so I tried it and I am hooked! Very delicious, perfect amount of spice, tofu was cooked to perfection, and I will definitely be back! I also ordered a appetizer of the veggie rolls which were also delightful! Highly highly recommend!!! read more

After ordering for years over the phone and living with the basic menu, I'd have given this 3 stars. Ordering online we found you can modify EVERYTHING. We like more variety of vegetables in our curries, so when we could up the eggplant quotient, this place gained a star. Crab Rangoons and chicken satay are respectable. The curries are solid and medium heat has a little kick but doesn't blow your mind. Order an extra large rice if you're getting 2-3 entrees, you'll want it for leftovers. read more

I stopped in as it was recommended by a friend. The chive dumplings were 2 cut in half (to make 4), the grilled calamari had 7 small pieces and the 10$ mango sticky rice dessert had 1/2 a scoop of rice with 6 slices of mango. You don't get much for your money. The flavor was good just a complaint about amount to value is bad read more
