We heard about this hidden gem from our foodie friends so we decided to give them a try for a late Saturday lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately. Their menu offers a great selection of Thai and Pan-Asian favorites. We started with an appetizer of Chicken Satay. Grilled chicken(4) marinated in curry and served with a peanut dipping sauce and pickled cucumbers. Absolutely delicious. For our entrees my wife had Chicken Rama Thai Noodles (GF) which is pan fried noodles, broccoli and carrots topped with a peanut sauce.. delicious! I tried Lad Nar which is wide rice noodles topped with a house gravy,chicken and broccoli. It is more like a soup but very good. Plan on taking food home as their portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. With such a huge selection of noodle,rice fish and curry dishes,we will definitely be back. read more

Beat Thai in Schaumburg. As a self proclaimed enthusiast, we've been around the block and are so sad it took this long to find. The veggie egg rolls are great, the chive dumplings and tom yum soup were delicious, the pad Thai and pad see ewe exquisite! We will be back! The food came within 15 minutes - but we took to go, next time we will sit and eat! read more

We were warmly welcomed and told to sit wherever we wished. We chose a cozy booth and ordered beverages and chicken satay for an appetizer. The restaurant is impeccably clean and the service is prompt without feeling rushed. Our food arrived piping hot and the flavors were well balanced. The portions are huge so take home containers were offered. We thought the prices were very reasonable and provided a good value. They do a brisk takeout business. We will return to try other items on the menu. No complaints at all. read more

We'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and we're glad we finally did. It's a cozy Thai restaurant, and you're greeted by a fish tank as you walk in, which adds a nice touch. The staff was friendly, though it would've been helpful if they had asked about our preferred spice level--good thing we followed up. I enjoy spicy food, but not so much that it overwhelms the flavor. They also offer chicken wings, even though they're not listed on the menu. Here's what we ordered: Shrimp Spring Rolls - 4stars Tom Yum Soup - 4stars BBQ Pork Fried Rice - 4stars Pad Thai - 4stars Pad See Ew - 4stars We'll definitely be back to try more dishes! read more

Ordered Pad Thai and edamame via Uber Eats and requested extra lime as well as checked the box for utensils. It arrived hot and smelled wonderful, however, my requests were ignored. Edamame was great, but that was the worst pad Thai I have ever had the misfortune to taste. Most of it ended up in the garbage where it belongs. There is better Thai food out there. Keep driving past Dan Thai, folks. read more

Lovely spot and delicious food! Small restaurant with booth and table seating. Food tastes authentic and flavorful. I'm pretty picky about Thai food and I would definitely come back here to try more dishes. Service was good and prompt. Highly recommend all the dishes pictured. read more

Ordered take out and the food was not bad. I only tried the pad see ew and tom yum soup. There aren't many Thai places in the area so it was a decent option. read more

Stopped by recently to pick up appetizers to share with friends. Funny thing, the last time I was in this strip mall to pick up food for a similar outing was at the Pakistani carryout next door. I ordered off the appetizers menu mainly and a shrimp/chicken rice soup(khow Tom). An appetizer tray, chive dumplings and fried potstickers. I'm always keen on chive anything. I think enjoying them at the restaurant would have been best. Soup was the best of what we ordered. Tho. Restaurant feels homely and staff are on hand with a smile. Casual, local type vibe. Plenty of parking. read more

The restaurant is very clean, they play music softly in the background. There is plenty of seating (lots of booths and low tables) the tables have a vase with fake flowers but it makes the table look so pretty. I ordered the Tom Kha Veggie Soup (Small) it was very tasty and you can tell it is freshly made and not a mix. I had some Lemongrass tea. My husband ordered the Pad Thai with beef and it was really good! He drank ice water. The prices are a little higher than our favorite Thai restaurant, but definitely yummy! We would definitely dine here again. read more

We came here for dinner on Friday evening to escape the cold. There was plenty of seating available and we were promptly seated. Our group quickly settled on sharing the soft veggie rolls, Thai fried rice, red curry, and kee mao noodles. Everything was good but I especially loved the red curry. We also appreciated how everything could be made vegetarian and omit things as needed. Our food came out quickly and the service was attentive. We will be back! read more

Take Out Review! My partner and I have came to Dan Thai a handful of times now. I called around 5pm on a weekday, someone picked up the phone immediately to take our order. I have noticed that the overall cost is slightly cheaper when phoning in to order rather than ordering online; not sure why. Our group got the Basil Duck Fried Rice, Chicken Pad Thai, and Pineapple Fried Rice with Tofu. They do allow one to order with different spice levels: None, Mild, Medium, Hot. We ordered the Basil Duck as Hot and Pad Thai as Medium. The spice level was not extreme but added a nice flavor. Food has always been ready 5-10 minutes prior to the time estimate they give me on the phone so make sure you go early! read more

DT is probably one of my favorite places to get curry. Normally we get the green curry, but we also get the panang curry too. The curry is creamy, yet light. It's bursting with flavors and the spice creeps up on you. It goes away but then comes back when you eat more. The curry comes out piping hot, but you just keep wanting to eat some more. We picked chicken for the protein and there's plenty of it for one bowl. They did not skimp on that. The Tom yum soup is one of my favorites too. I didn't ask for it to be too spicy because I didn't want to blow my whole palette off before my entree comes. The soup is sour and full of lemongrass flavors, and it's still savory. I had the vegetable one because I wanted more veggies than protein. It's very comforting to eat. Normally we get the pad Thai or the pad see ew, but I ended up trying the drunken noodles. It's actually pretty good. There's plenty of chicken, but I do think that the chicken is a little overcooked and dry. I also go the papaya salad because that's what I was actually craving. I wasn't too much of a fan. The sauce is a little too acidic for me. I feel like it's missing the funk that you normally would get from the papaya salad sauce. The papaya and other veggies itself were pretty fresh. I think it's just the sauce that needs a little rework. We also had the Thai ice tea (not picture). I normally don't really drink Thai ice teas, but this one didn't come out bright orange like some places. It was layered with tea and then the milk at the top. When you milked it, then it started to change to that orange color. The tea wasn't too sweet and it was pretty refreshing. The mango sticky rice finished off our meal. The sticky rice was cooked nicely. The mangoes weren't as sweet, I don't think it was fully ripen. The coconut sauce is def Asian forward bcos it wasn't that sweet at all. We actually would have preferred it to be a tad bit sweeter though. read more

I've been ordering from Dan Thai for welllll over 10 years and there's a reason why I keep coming back, food is DIVINE! My fiancé and I usually get take out from here but this time we dined in. =) I'm not sure when renovations happened but the place looks fantastic! It's cozy, warm and inviting. I really like what they've done and wish we would have been dining in vs getting take out a lot sooner. On a Friday night this place was paaaaaaccccccked and we loved to see it! Even with a full house the service was fairly quick - towards the end our server didn't check in as much however our food was already on our table and we had full bellies. We don't mind waiting a few extra mins for other tables to get service so we were OK letting the food digest haha. To start we had the steamed chicken dumplings and wow they were fresh, cooked well and were very good. I'm not typically a dumpling person but I'd order these again. Next we had Tom Yum soup with veggies. I think there was too much fish sauce this time but Dan Thai's Tom Yum soup is my favorite, maybe an off day. For our entrees we had the panang curry and basil duck. Both are served with rice. The curry has a lingering spice to it and that's exactly how I like my heat! The basil duck was flavorful and well balanced. read more

Dan Thai I went for lunch and seated right away. I ordered the beef fried rice and chicken pad Thai lunch specials. Both came with a small soup and egg roll. The broth in that soup is absolutely fire! Egg roll was more like a spring roll. Our entrees were both delicious. Dan Thai is simply amazing. It's our go-to spot for special occasions because the food is so incredible. Everything on the menu is delicious, and we love picking new dishes to try so we can taste it all eventually. I can't recommend Dan Thai enough; the service, the staff, and the food are all top-notch. You really have to experience it for yourself! read more

This place is pretty tasty, but 4 star is more how I feel about this place after going several times. It's good for the area, but better in the city. The service is good and plenty of free parking is always nice. read more

I usually get one of my usual three dishes but I've taken a number of people here over the years and I've sampled their food and had a variety of dishes. Everything is above average to bliss.

Dan Thai - Beer - Thai Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Dan Thai is located in a strip mall, right off of Schaumburg Road. The place is medium sized, with a dining area that I would estimate, seats about 45 or so people. There are chairs and tables on the left, and some booths on the right side. The decór here is simple but nice and the overall vibe was good. For those who want the COVID-19 deets, all the staff was properly masked. We were promptly seated as I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was not too busy. The staff was super nice and attentive. This is what we ordered: Crab rangoon -- order came in five pieces. The size of each crab rangoon was good, with an ample amount of cream cheese. Shrimp rolls -- these came in a pair and had stuffed carrots, lettuce, basil leaves, and shrimp. This was all wrapped in a clear rice paper, served cold. There seemed to also be a hint of lemon grass. The sweet peanut sauce that came with it was great. Tom Yum Soup -- a great soup, for a cold Chicago winter day. It was hot, spicy, and sour. It had lemon grass, mushrooms, and chicken. A decent size for a "cup" portion 5-star chicken -- this dish reminds me of orange chicken. It was breaded chicken, with pineapple, some green and red peppers, peapods, and onions, in a sweet, spicy chili sauce. Basil catfish -- basil catfish is usually my go-to when I'm at a Thai place, so I was excited to try this dish. This dish had slightly breaded, stir-fried catfish, with onions, green beans, and basil leaves. Sadly, this dish was underwhelming. The portion size was rather small. The green beans was slightly undercooked, and the catfish filets were extremely salty. I had to "bland" things down with rice... but it was too salty for me. Overall, food was good still, the service was good, and the overall experience was good. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located past the kitchen, the men's bathroom is private. It has a urinal and toilet, with a hanging sink. This is where they keep their booster seats apparently. Overall, the bathroom was decent and everything seemed to be in working order. Sit or squat? Squat. read more

Authentic Thai, customizable, extremely vegetarian friendly!! Environment: A small, well lit restaurant with a few booths and a few tables. Some soft music plays in the background, with a lot of joyful chatter from other patrons. The servers are all very respectful and kind; they are very attentive and check on you consistently. They were very quick to acknowledge dietary restrictions and ensured that all of our food was made in a vegetarian friendly way with appropriate substitutions for their classic dishes. Food: For appetizers, we had Vegetable Spring Rolls and Vegetable Rice Paper Rolls. Both were good, but the accompanying sauces is what makes those dishes. The addition of basil to the rice paper rolls gave an aromatic component that made the dish a pleasure to eat. For mains, we tried the Drunken Noodles with Tofu, Pad Thai with Tofu, Cashew Vegetable (originally Cashew Chicken), and Basil Fried Rice with Vegetables. All of their dishes brought comforting, homey, layered Thai flavors. The substitutions didn't feel like they were compromising the dishes integrity and were a 100% joy to eat. All vegetables stayed crisp with perfectly cooked noodles and rice stir fried in. Note: when you ask for spicy, they'll 100% bring the heat; they did not disappoint, which made for an enjoyable meal. Their tofu was average compared to other Thai restaurants, but not as crispy as we've seen. The fried rice, in our option, may have had too much oil, but still was delicious. We would definitely come back for all of the dishes we tried, and assume their curries would follow a similar pattern. Rating: 4.5/5, one of the top Thai places in the Schaumburg area that appears to be a little less known compared to others. A few shortcomings, but can be overlooked by the flavors and attention to the customer experience. A highly recommend if you haven't tried it; we will definitely be back!! read more

Dan Thai - Pad thai - Thai Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Best pad thia in the area. Always done right and fast. I love the location and dining area.

We ordered take out from here the other day. The server told us it would take 25 mins which is reasonable on a Saturday night. Our group ordered the following: Crab Rangoon - crispy with a good amount of filling Papaya salad - Lar Nar - the gravy was actually pretty watery and the one item no one enjoyed Bails Duck Fried Rice - the fatness in the duck made the fried rice super flavorful Green Curry - pretty good but the duck curry was definitely the best. Roasted Duck Curry - my favorite item on the menu. It's a panang curry and the duck really enhances the flavor Basil Stir Fried with Chicken - we asked for it to be extra spicy and it definitely hit the spicy level read more

This review is for their take out during the Pandemic. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup and Chicken Kee Mao noodles. Dan Thai is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Our order was ready for pick up at the time promised. Food was correct and freshly made. The take out portions were generous compared to some other Thai places I have been to. The Pad Thai consists of: Thin rice noodles stir-fried with egg, bean sprouts, green onion, crushed peanuts and their secret pad Thai sauce. One thing I do miss is having cabbage on my pad thai. The added veggie gives it a nice crispy texture and makes the dish less oily. The chicken in my Pad Thai was tender. Their Pad Thai sauce is amazing. It is on the sweeter side and I love it. The peanuts gives the dish that extra crunchy nutty flavor. This was my first time having Tom Yum Soup and definitely won't be my last! Tom Yum Soup is: Thai style hot and sour soup spiced with limejuice, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, and mushroom. They had the right amount of ingredients and the soup was not too spicy and had the right kick of lime/lemon to it. This soup is nothing like the Chinese style hot and sour soup. It is less spicy and the flavors aren't as strong. A very lightly blended soup that's perfect as an appetizer course. Highly recommend this soup! I wish I ordered a container for myself and didn't have to share! Sadly, I was too full to try the Chicken Kee Mao. read more

We haven't been there in years, and we ordered a bunch of carryout. Everything was great! Definitely be ordering again soon.

I ordered take-out pad thai as well as fried rice and it was pretty decent. I would say the pad Thai had a different flavor that I was not expecting and it wasn't bad just not to my liking. The fried rice was good and definitely worth getting! We also ordered some of the appetizers that were pretty good. Overall this was a pretty good Thai place and a good option for a quick take-out order. The quality has gone down a bit, but check it out and see if you like it! read more

Came with the family for dinner. We didn't make reservations ahead of time but we were able to get seated right away. Started out with the appetizer combination platter. I can eat pot stickers all day so this was my favorite. The crab Rangoon is heavy on the cream cheese. The egg rolls are average. We went with basil fried rice and Thai fried rice. Basil fried rice is my go to dish and this was solid. We ordered one with medium spice and one with hot. They both felt like medium. We also tried red and yellow curries. I didn't try this but others seemed to enjoy both. We ordered both spicy but they turned out medium. But my brother did say he ordered this spicy before and it was very very spicy so it must depend on who is in the kitchen! We also tried the sesame chicken and garlic pepper stir fried for entrees. There was a lot of breading for me for the sesame chicken but it ended up being my husbands favorite dish. We got to try a lot of dishes being a larger group. Overall everyone found something they liked. Excited to come back and continue trying out more of the menu! read more

Back on the menu!!! Thai Siri ended up being more disappointing. Glad to have our local go to Thai spot back. Very spicy, stressed Thai spicy, still ultimately mild :(. read more

Love their chicken satay, cucumber salad and papaya salad. Their lunch and dinners are excellent!!

Friendly service and great food. I can't believe I never reviewed this place, I've been here so many times now. Wonderful food, the creaminess of the curry, I could literally eat this curry with rice all day, no veggies or meat needed. They also have some really nice fried noodles, it's pan fried, not deep fried. It has this great carmelization on it and gives a really nice texture, even if you pair it with a curry where it's drenched in it. Some how the crispiness is still there. The soup is this gingery type soup that comes with lunch specials. I could care less for it as I hate ginger but I do actually drink it all. The small egg roll that comes with the lunch specials is also very nice, crisp, and delightful. Whenever I am feeling down or want to celebrate, this is the place I go to. read more

Dan Thai - Lunch Menu 8/27/2019 - Thai Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

I was a little disappointed in the quality of the food this time around (8/4/21). The chicken in the pad se ew was incredibly dry and the noodles were a bit overcooked and not saucy enough. My husband tried the sesame noodles and enjoyed them but I didn't care for the flavor. The jasmine rice soup was ok, but I could have sworn it had ginger in it last time but there wasn't any this time around. The star of the show (pun intended) was the 5 Star Chicken. It tastes like a spicy version of sweet and sour chicken. Would definitely order it again. read more
