C'est bien Thai is one of my new favorite Thai spots in the city! You can't go wrong with the pad see ewe! The quality of the food was spot on from when I had it while I visited Thailand ages ago. And the chicken satay was perfect! Our waitress really was helpful with the menu! If you want to give Thai food a try give CBT a try!

Omg, we stumbled upon this restaurant and it is soo good and prices are good too!! There is one woman who practically runs the restaurant. She was the only waitress but regardless of how many tables being served, the service was still good! My friend and I ordered the Thai tea boba and the taro boba tea, they tasted like they had all natural ingredients and they were icy which was a different take! The taro was a little bit more milky than nutty but still very tasty. We shared a Crab Rangoon appetizer and the texture was so crispy on the outside, which was different but delicious. I ordered the Thai fried rice with tofu and veggies and the flavor was so good and there was enough food to take home for leftovers! The place was quiet inside and didn't start filling up until around 8:15, when we first arrived (7:30ish) there were only a couple other people in here.

Went here for a quick dinner. Very nice and quiet small spot. Had the boat noodle soup. Nothing like a hot bowl of noodle soup during the winter to warm you up.

The Tom Kai is quite good. Next is the prick khing catfish. Open until midnight also!

This is as good as thai takeout gets, and you will not find better prices. Pad Thai for under $10.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME! AMAZING! It's savory, it's sweet, there's umami, there's acid (lime), crunchy peanuts and fresh veggies. Yes. Yes. Yes. (I just need to remind myself to ask for chili sauce because the pad Thai is minimal on the spice). I've dined in as well and the staff is kind and attentive. This will be my go-to place for delivery.

Khao Soy (chicken), Basil Duck, 5 Piece Crispy Wings

Tracy L.

I have the habit of trying different Thai restaurants, even though I already have a few I frequently order from. The prices were very reasonable and had good reviews, so we ordered delivery. It came quick, and the flavors were good. The Khao Soy was tasty, not too watery or too thick, perfect consistency- the wonton chips were super crispy and abundant. I wanted to try the Basil Duck after seeing so many images of it- yum! More green beans than duck though... and some of the shredded pieces were very fatty. The Chicken Wings were crispy but a bit fatty and flavorless- bummer. Overall, I'd order again and try other items!

Megan L.

This place is amazing! Came here on a whim while visiting Chicago and I'm happy that we came upon this gem. I'm so mad at myself for not taking more photos of the food because it was all so good! The pad Thai that I ordered was a bit too sweet for me. If you like sweet pad Thai, this will be your jam. I like more of the peanut/savory profile of pad Thai,, so this was not my favorite. What was my favorite, was the Thai chicken curry; it was the one with the coconut milk base. Idk if that's helpful but this was some of the absolute best curry I've ever had. It was so freakin good!! A must try! Again, so mad I didn't take photos. The service was friendly and they seemed to follow COVID protocols. I'll definitely return when I'm in the area!!

Pad Thai Noodle, Crab Rangoon, 5 Piece Shumai, Wonton Soup

Katie K.

Ordered through Uber eats. Everything was amazing, especially for the price. The wonton soup did not have any filling really, just was still delicious. Pad Thai is great and there's lots of protein in it. Appetizers were great as well, especially the crab Rangoon!

I asked for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx spicy but it was mild.

Jennie A.

I ordered shrimp rolls and chicken pad Thai xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxtra spicy. I thought they got my order wrong being I couldn't taste the spicy. My friend who can't eat spicy food couldn't taste the spice.... The shrimp rolls were raw inside. I attached pictures. Disappointed. Won't return.

Kendra M.

Amazing lunch special!! $8.50 for choice of starter (pork egg roll, veggie egg roll, potsticker, or cucumber salad) and entree (6 different options and choice of meat). I really liked the ginger chicken, and the basil chicken is also yummy. Drunken noodles are not on the lunch special but they look so good, I'm going to have to get them one day. They have a small beer, wine, and sake list. Beer comes in a cold frosted glass. The staff is so so sweet as well. This is going to become a regular spot for me!

I came here last night for dinner and it was overall a nice experience. On Yelp it says it's BYOB but they said they've since changed that yet allowed us to drink what we brought with a $7 corkage fee. I had the basil chicken which was good but the service was incredibly slow considering it wasn't that busy. I'd probably carry out from here but not dine in again. read more

This place was amazing. Got the Mixed Vegetable Chicken that read "in a light soy sauce" so I was a little worried that it was going to be lacking flavour. Boy was I wrong! That meal, paired with a delicious Thai Tea Bubble Tea, was absolutely scrumptious. Too bad I'm only visiting Chicago! I would be coming here quite often. Enjoy! read more

I ordered online. It took an hour-ish, which I consider to be about average on a holiday weekend. My girlfriend had the Pad Thai. She orders the same thing at every Thai restaurant as a measure of the restaurant's worth. According to her, it was fantastic, and for that reason it's back on our short list of places to order from again. My Drunken Noodles were very good. As a fun side note, I jokingly put "Make with love" as a special request on her Pad Thai on the ticket when I ordered. When it arrived, her Pad Thai had a heart on it, and the ticket read "WE MAKE WITH LOVE". Allround great experience and great food. read more

Very disappointed by the service received tonight.

This is the third platform that I'm reviewing this restaurant on... because I love them that much. Listen, I've had four different menu items in the past two days so far and they've all been good and prices are ridiculously fair! So first is the chicken pad thai. It was delicious so that was already good enough for me. The potstickers were yummy and crispy. The massaman curry was soooo good, i did need to add a bit of salt, but other than that it tasted like when I'd order it in Thailand. Lastly, the Pad Woonsen Noodle was my FAVORITE! It had some kinda charred flavor that I loved. I'm salivating thinking about it. Also, one sweet thing they did is that they gave me free potstickers the second night i ordered and my fragile millennial heart turned to mush. I don't know if they recognized my name from doordash since it was two nights in a row I ordered (which is a little embarrassing for me) but whatever THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. Wanted to order for a third night but y'all are closed today, so I'll hit y'all up tomorrow!! read more

This review is for take-out only, as I've not eaten in the restaurant. When my favorite Thai restaurant closed due to several health code violations, I was desperate to find somewhere new. Two friends recommended this restaurant. Fast delivery, the food arrives hot & fresh. Tonight I ordered and the restaurant delivered some delicious tofu prik king, chicken pad see ew, and basil duck. Unfortunately, they forgot an order of Thai Iced Coffee. I notified the delivery person and called the restaurant. They came back very quickly, and brought 2 to make up for the error. read more

One of the best Thai places in the area that I would recommend trying. Don't let the cheap prices fool you. Their menu offers your typical Thai restaurant dishes but the food tasted very authentic and had plenty of flavor unlike many Americanized bland Thai restaurants. The staff is very friendly and values their customers. The decor created a very chill environment perfect for a date night or a family outing. If you're passing by, stop in for some good Thai food. read more

I really want to write this place a good review. The food is good, the decor is cute, and they put adorable little garnishes on everything. I eat here a lot with my kung fu school, since it's just down the street and meets the requirement of being vaguely Asian. But the service... is... SO BAD. It's never full when I'm there. I've been with groups as small as 2 and as big as 10. Doesn't make a difference. It always takes forever to get water, get orders taken, get food, get the bill. Usually one end of the table is done eating by the time the other end gets their plates. Maybe they need to hire more people? Trick out the kitchen? Only serve three people per day? No idea, but I hope they get it together, because those garnishes are . read more

I was hoping this place would be a good lunch spot. Sadly, I won't be going back. The problem was the chicken. It was inedible because of the texture. It was classic for chicken that was refrozen too many times. It could have been the food supplier that did this or the restaurant. I do know freezing thawed meat wreaks havoc on the texture. Once you experience it, it is unmistakeable. I suspect we were not the first to have the "bad chicken." Our waitress didn't bat an eye or say a thing when she took away our dishes and the huge bowl full of chicken pieces. read more

The crab Rangoons are AMAZING as well, which says a lot because I have tried at least 30 in the city. These are top 5. Lastly, beef chow fun was okay. It didn't have much flavor and the beef was tough/hard to bite through so not a fan of that.

I've been going to Serai for years, which makes this review especially disappointing to write. I'm…read morenot sure if there has been a change in management or the kitchen, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had here. The food was completely underwhelming, and when we shared our concerns with the staff, nothing was done to address them. The service was equally disappointing. Our server spent much of the time sitting on her phone while we waited for basic service like water refills, being asked about drinks, and receiving the drinks we ordered. We repeatedly had to get up and find someone just to receive attention. As for the food, the gyoza was bland and tasted like unseasoned pork. The lemongrass beef stew curry, which was highly recommended, arrived cold, had an odd texture, and lacked any real flavor. Most shocking of all were the drunken noodles. I've ordered them countless times over the years and always considered them among the best in Chicago. This time, I couldn't get past a single bite. Every dish was left unfinished. We didn't finish a single plate and didn't take any leftovers home--something that never happens for us. Between the poor service and incredibly disappointing food, this was an awful dining experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, after being a longtime customer, I won't be returning.

The portions were on the smaller side, but it was still plenty of food for two!

This place was so good that I came back the very next evening for dinner again…read more On my first visit, I ordered the pulled pork with mac and cheese, cornbread, and sweet tea. Every single part of the meal was outstanding. The pulled pork was delicious on its own, but I also loved the sweet barbecue sauce. The cornbread was, without exaggeration, the best I've ever had!! It was moist, flavorful, and served with absolutely incredible butter. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and one of the best I've ever had as well. Even the sweet tea was perfect: actually sweet without being overpowering or having that bitter, earthy aftertaste that some sweet teas have. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I came back the next night and tried the brisket. It was sooooo good too. It was tender, smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor. At that point I knew the first meal wasn't a fluke. It's not inexpensive, but the portions are generous, and I felt the quality more than justified the price. I was there by myself because I'm traveling for work and actually enjoyed the communal tables. They made the atmosphere feel welcoming and a little less lonely than sitting by myself. The staff was excellent, too. The gentleman with the glasses at the meat counter was friendly, funny, and made the experience even more enjoyable. He even threw in a complimentary rib, which was such a nice surprise and a great example of the hospitality here. One thing to know before you go: the line can get long, but don't let that scare you away, it moves efficiently, and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Green Street Smoked Meats lived up to every bit of the hype. Between two visits, I tried the pulled pork, brisket, mac and cheese, cornbread, sweet tea, and a rib, and every single thing was excellent. This will be one of my first stops the next time I'm in Chicago.

Got 1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 lb pork ribs, 1/2 lb pulled pork, broccoli salad, elote style corn, and baked beans for $87 + tip. The Prime Sliced Brisket (7/10) was super tender and practically fell apart, but I wished the bark had a harder crust and a bit more flavor. The Pork Ribs (6.5/10) were somewhere between tender and chewy, so I'd probably skip them. The Pulled Pork (6.5/10) was slightly sweet but tasted pretty standard. All of the meats could've used a little more seasoning, and I wish they came out hotter. The spicy BBQ sauce and golden sauce were both delicious though. The Elote Style Corn (8/10) was my favorite side. Super creamy with plenty of parmesan. The Broccoli Salad (7/10) had great crunch from the pumpkin seeds and sweetness from the raisins, though I wish the seeds were toasted. The Baked Beans (6.5/10) had pork belly and onions mixed in, but otherwise tasted like a solid, classic baked bean. The vibes felt like a true Texas BBQ joint. You line up, order at the counter, watch them slice the meat in front of you, then grab a table cafeteria-style. The industrial space and dim lighting fit the atmosphere well. 7/10. Service was great. The guy slicing the meat asked how my day was, and staff were constantly walking around clearing tables. 8/10.

Tried C'est Bien Thai and really enjoyed it. We started with the mango moscato, which was light, sweet, and super easy to drink - a fun pairing with Thai food. For appetizers, the fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the seaweed salad was fresh and nicely seasoned. The standout for me was the tom kha soup - creamy, comforting, and full of flavor without being too heavy. For the entrée, we had the panang salmon, and it did not disappoint. The salmon was cooked well and the panang curry had that rich, slightly sweet, slightly spicy flavor you want (balanced, not overpowering). Overall: great variety, flavorful dishes, and a nice meal from start to finish. I'd definitely come back to try more of the curry dishes and noodles. read more

Food is very beautifully pleasing to the eye and very delicious. Service was very sweet as well. The reason why I came here was because I heard there are many unique noodle dishes so I decided to give it a try. I ate Khao Soy, which the noodles and chicken were cooked to a perfection. I'm glad I went there for a nice meal with my boyfriend. They execute Thai cuisine very well. read more
