Excellent food and service Charm has a cute little restaurant area if you prefer to dine in. I was ordering takeout, but there's also a little sitting area where I could wait near the front door. There's was a little bit of a wait since I did not call ahead, but not too bad. And the food tasted very fresh, so it was worth the wait! I ordered: Crispy Thai spring rolls $6.98 Panang curry chicken $11.98 Both dishes were tasty. I asked for a little extra spice for the panang and it was perfect! I'll definitely be going back to try more on their menu. read more

It's more of a Pan Asian menu they offer than truly Thai. Very clean and simply decorated. Friendly and quick service. Large portions on the entreés and appetizers, and presentation is nice. As for taste, we Asians would call it "Americanized" to please a variety of palates. I like how it's spacious indoors and comfy due to low volume piped-in music. Lots of parking! read more

Casual restaurant with simple décor. Great food and prices. Calamari $9 - Smaller portion, reasonably priced. Thick breading, very crunchy, looks like onion rings. Tom yum soup (small) $7 - Good soup with complex flavors. Drunken noodles (veggies) $12 - Noodles perfectly cooked, loaded with veggies. Pad Prik khing (chicken) $12 - Tasty sauce and asked and received hot level spiciness. Taro sticky rice $6 - 2 pieces of sweet sticky rice in banana leaf, delicious traditional Thai dessert Singha beer $7 .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

I have been craving Thai food ever since 2024 started and I was so happy to indulge on this craving this weekend at Charm Thai BBQ in Elmhurst! Charm serves delicious Thai and Vietnamese food and has a great menu serving up dishes for meat-lovers, vegetarians and those with gluten dietary restrictions. I've picked up food to-go from Charm several times in the past but this was my first time dining in! Service, atmosphere, and food are all a 10/10 for me. : I tried and would recommend their crab rangoon, dancing calamari, tom kha soup, and beef pad see ew dishes! The crab rangoons were on the smaller end but they absolutely HIT The calamari was breaded in a way that reminded us of onion rings but again, was so tasty! The tom kha soup was so CREAMY and the thick liquid consistency of the soup was exactly what I needed on a negative temp winter Chicagoland day The mouthwatering combination of the warm stir fried rice noodle and eggs was absolutely amazing. The beef pieces were large and they did NOT skimp on the meat! Justin loved their Thai Iced Tea and panang curry as well! He shared that their thai spicy is actually spicy (in a good way). The Thai Iced Tea was on the sweeter end (which I enjoyed). We look forward to trying their Viet dishes next time Definitely add Charm Thai BBQ to your list of restaurants to check out in the Chicagoland suburbs read more

I randomly stumbled upon this little plaza while passing through Elmhurst downtown. For our family, this is a great find because the adults enjoy Thai food but the girls do not and they prefer Vietnamese. Charm Thai BBQ happens to serve both cuisines so it's a win-win situation! On a Saturday afternoon, our party of six adults and two young children tried the following: 1) Vegetarian spring rolls were packed with shreds of carrots and vermicelli. Each order comes with four pieces so we had two orders. 2) Pho tai came with very tender eye round steak and the portion was very generous. My girls shared the bowl and had enough for leftovers to go. They even sipped a good amount of the beef broth! 3) Pad see ew with beef was flavorful and I preferred this over the tofu. But regardless, you can't go wrong with ordering pad see ew at most Thai restaurants. 4) Pad see ew with tofu 5) Red curry with tofu has a stronger kick so I think we went with tofu since tofu itself is usually bland. Needless to say, we cleared all the rice with all that curry. 6) Panang curry with chicken was bursting with a rich, creamy flavor. It was especially hearty with the chicken. 7) Thai iced tea was refreshing and not overly sweet. We didn't order any drinks for our young girls. But the staff was super friendly and provided our girls with complimentary juice. So of course, our girls were elated and had the best time with their juice and pho. read more

I never realized this restaurant was here or so close to my work! It's very spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. My lemonade was refreshing. I had the drunken noodles with chicken that I will definitely be ordering again. The portions were huge. My friend loves their shrimp spring rolls. Although it's an app, it can definitely be a meal for someone. Service was friendly and fast. My only suggestion is to have a lunch special. read more

They were closed. The app took our reservation but as we arrived there was a note on the door that it is closed.

Charm was an amazing choice for lunch today. I had the Vegetarian Duck Basil, my brother had Beef Pad See Ew, and my sister had the Chicken Pad Thai. The portions were plentiful and the food was hot and delicious with a delightful aroma. The server was attentive and warm. The restaurant was clean and well-kept with a perfect amount of sunlight to make the dining room even more welcoming. We will definitely be back!! read more

It was a great place, since NEW OWNER took over it's not good anymore. Good quality went down drastically. I loved to go there, not anymore :( read more

I ordered thru Uber Eats, Panang Curry and Crab Rangoon. The broth in the Panang Curry was thinner and darker than I had ever tried at other restaurants, but OH was it SO FLAVORFUL!! It was full of a variety of fresh vegetables as well, green beans, spinach, carrots and red and green peppers. It was outstanding! The Crab Rangoon was very light and crispy. The filling was allowed to shine without being drowned out by heavy or thick breading, and the apricot dipping sauce was excellent. I will DEFINITELY be ordering again! read more

I took my sister and brother-in-law (from San Jose, CA) to Charm Thai Chef tonight. We all agree, excellent food under the new owner. If you tried Charm before, it's time to try again with this new owner. It's worth it! Pho,wai wai, curry, spring rolls and so much more. It is really good Thai. read more

Came here on a Thursday night, there was one other table only. It is actually quite nice on the inside. Modern and no-fuss. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious! I love Thai food, and I usually drive about 30 mins to get good Thai. No more. For 2 people cashew shrimp and green curry were more than enough. The prices are very fair. I even got an extra pad Thai order to go for tomorrow's snow day. All ingredients were fresh and the flavors were on point. I am so glad I finally tried Charm and will be back. read more

I really enjoy the chicken pad Thai, as it is not greasy at all, full of flavor, and a good portion. I get the second hottest spice level and it is perfect for me. I also enjoyed the yellow curry. I am happy to have a convenient Thai food spot on this side of Elmhurst! read more

Finallllly, some outstanding Asian food in Elmhurst. We've lived here for over 10 years and there are some solid, yummy choices around but this one takes the cake. The tom kha gai soup is perfection and my kids loved their chicken satay. We ordered 2 pad thai's and a crumb wasn't left - divine. My husband had the cashew chicken and it was great. Next time we go we're ordering the orange chicken though. A nearby table ordered this dish and it looked mouth-watering. The chicken was lightly coated in breading and sauce - NOT heavy as food come inducing. We also had the drunken noodles and they were lacking in flavor compared to everything else we had. The restaurant is spotless, starting from the water glasses, utensils, etc. This makes a big difference for customers, keep it up Charm Thai. Service was friendly too. You can tell English was not our waiters first language, which we liked, but keep brushing up on those English skills. Lastly, a friend told me their chef is from a top Thai restaurant in New York. We can tell the food was elevated . read more

Clearly new owners. Portions were half of what they previously were. Flavors were completely different.. in a bad way. Food was double the price. Super sad because we finally had a Thai place in Elmhurst. On to the next. read more

The food is fresh and flavorful, something you can't get tired of eating. Service is hospitable and cheerful when you need something explained. The ambiance depends on the day the music varies sometimes even have international tv on sometimes offering a bit more culture to the mix. Take a chance and try some Charm Thai BBQ ! read more

I really wanted to love this place, but it just did not quite hit the spot for me. The pho lacked in flavor, and the pad Thai was kinda red for some reason? It was easy to place an order, it was hot and fresh when I picked it up for takeout, and the restaurant seemed clean enough, but it won't be our new go-to Thai place. read more

Our first time here. Very simple but cute inside. The service was fast and they were polite. The crab Rangoon was very small and watery. Didn't like it. The children pad Thai was good. The basil chicken was also good. We will try this place out again. read more

The Mongolian beef was over cooked and sweet and sour soup was very spicy. Even though I asked for it not to be.

My favorite is the spicy and herbaceous Potak soup. It's a bit pricey but food is always fresh and well made.

The Pad See Ew is the best I have ever had. Flavor is delicious and Medium spice is not too spicy and the right amount of spice. Price is reasonable too! read more

It was a late dinner. They were about to close in an hour when we arrived. They accomodated us and were able to dine in. They did a great job with the upgrade of this place since it used to be a pizza restaurant. Food was used since I like asian food. read more

Spectacular curry! Came for some pad Thai and decided to get curry instead and this place didn't disappoint! Loved it!

The orange chicken is to die for, we also loved the Thai veggie rice. Decor is simple and uncluttered which I really liked. Focus is all about the food. We'll be back for sure - best Thai in Western Chicago suburbs. read more

Their Food is amazing. The nicest conscientious staff as well. Highly recommend read more

Decent Vietnamese Pho and Thai Basil Chicken. Thai Ice Tea was too sweet. Would visit again if in tge neighborhood.

Four of us just dined at Charm. The restaurant was very cheerful and very clean, especially the water glasses. We all ordered something different and were well pleased with the presentation, taste and quantity of food. Prices are reasonable. Great friendly service. Best part, for me, they could cook gluten free on several of their meals. We will definitely come back again. read more

I ordered pho here and I can tell you that I was most definitely not served pho. I do not like the misrepresentation of Vietnamese food. Maybe their Thai cuisine is more authentic but I don't think I will be a repeat customer. read more

The place is much bigger inside than what it looks like outside. Nice & clean. The food was actually delicious & authentic in that if you want medium spicy, they really give you medium spicy heat! No holding back. We had beef w/ pepper, mongolian beef, shrimp with veg, chicken & shrimp fried rice, sticky rice with banana, green tea cheesecake, thai coffee... we all agreed EVERYTHING was delicious & in big portions. Owner was nice & kind. Prices very reasonable. We will be back there, for sure. It's located in the small strip mall where Zenwich is. read more
