Tom Kha
Dina C.

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

Pad see ew with beef
Jessica M.

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.

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.

Vegetarian Duck Basil
Cameron L.

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!!

This place is amazing. I am originally from California and lived near Garden Grove which has a huge Vietnamese population. This is vary comparable. Services from me and atmosphere is relaxing. Bonus super fast at making your food.

Shrimp Street noodle in mild, Beef Drunken noodles, Shrimp Basil Thai fried rice shrimp
Estefania D.

Just tried this place and will be adding it to the rotation of great Thai cuisine in the area for my family! I ordered the Shrimp Street noodle in mild (my favorite), Beef Drunken noodle, Shrimp Basil Thai fried rice, and Crispy Thai spring rolls. All were great! They do flavor well here and I am excited to keep exploring the menu!

Cashew Nuts Sauce with shrimp
Layan A.

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.

They proactively asked what spice level we wanted in our meals. My husband had the Pad See Eiw lunch special and added shrimp. He also asked for thin noodles instead of the wide ones described on the menu. I had the vegan Mussaman Curry and added tofu, no peanut. Thai curries are a rare treat for me, because most Thai curries include shrimp paste and/or oyster sauce. Our nice server brought the Curry paste out for me to read the ingredients.

Although the Tom Kha soup was tasty and I'm sure wasn't the culprit, it had three small pieces of chicken in the broth. The pad Thai was a whole other situation. I knew something tasted not quite fresh and the beef had a weird texture but I knew starting the next morning I had made a mistake. Six days, urgent care and IV treatment and testing confirms food poisoning from either vegetables not properly washed or undercooked beef. Seeing as all I had that day was toast and coffee at home that morning, this was it. As someone who never gets sick, just bummed the UberEats ratings didn't reflect what this place offers but I now see that I should have checked Yelp first! The dirty restaurant experience matches what happened. Beware.

Certainly there's noodles but there's still lots more. The prices are good and there's lots of choices for vegetarians. Finding it takes a good look. It's located in a strip mall. The place doesn't look like much. On the outside it's pretty boring. The inside isn't much better except for some random ornaments on the walls. Most people get carryout it seems, making the interior not that important. The place has some lunch specials. I was around at the time and decided to come in. The entree I got was the Pad Kee Mao. It's about $10 for the lunch special. The lunch specials comes with a soup which isn't vegetarian. Better to just get the full dinner entree. This is the same price and you get a bigger plate. Get here for some big and cheap portions of Thai food. It of course has noodles. There's lots of items that can be made vegan and vegetarian so just ask to leave out eggs and fish stuff.

It was the perfect opportunity to try a variety of items. Here is what we ordered: Thai iced tea (4) Egg roll, vegetarian (4) Chicken satay (2) Pad see eiw w/beef (2) Crispy Thai noodles w/tofu (2) Green curry with tofu (2) Basil seafood with extra seafood mix (2) Mixed veggie stir-fry with shrimp (2) Mango and sticky rice (4) Overall, we were satisfied with the flavor profiles and everything was delivered in an efficient manner. The portions are not large and I think we would order two more entrees when we revisit with our large group of 14. We have had mango and sticky rice many times in the past. This is our first time having it with a purple-bluish color sticky rice. I don't think it made much difference with the flavors but the kids were turned off by it and refused to try. Then again, kids are sporadic and we can never truly tell what appeals to them. The mango was not ripe but this was back in March when mangos were not in season. Otherwise, we would definitely return and we are eager to try the other items such as crispy catfish curry and pepper squid.

I ordered pad see eu with tofu and vegetables and my husband got pad Thai with chicken. The food was pretty good however a little on the dry side - could have used a little more sauce.

I was immediately drawn in to Ming Chef by the bright modern exterior and interior. Such a nice departure from traditional dark Chinese places. The food was so beautifully prepared and presented. My husband ordered his safe choice, fried rice and enjoyed an elevated version of his favorite with tender barbecued pork. I ordered a mushroom and shrimp dish that was offered over wide rice noodles. So delicious! The variety of mushrooms really set this dish apart. Kenny helped us narrow down our choices from the expansive menu to suit my need for novelty as well as my husband's spice-phobic palate. Kenny also treated us to custom bobo tea for desert. I feel so lucky to find this place! Our new favorite for sure!
