Been here so many times but I'm finally writing my first review! Was introduced to this restaurant by a friend who lives nearby. I like to try new dishes every time that I dine in, never disappointed. I find myself ordering the Tom Yum soup nearly every visit (which I 100% recommend) read more

Food was good! Little over priced for a small portion but overall loved it! I recommend the silver noodle (pad woon sen).

After scouring Yelp for good Thai in town we went to Dan Thai for the first time yesterday. We were not disappointed! We started with the crab wheels and some tom kha soup. The wheels were interesting, crispy on the outside and nice fish flavor on the inside with a sweet sauce. I ordered the tom kha medium spicy and it was absolute perfection!! It is one of my faves and I judge a restaurant by it and it was outstanding. And for $5 the small portion was big! For dinner I had the basil duck and my bf had the panang curry with chicken. Huge portions on both, lots of flavor. The servings of rice could have been bigger. Overall it was outstanding and we will be back. The only downside was that as we were leaving I slipped on something on the floor and busted my knee, so I guess maybe watch your step. Ha. read more

My bf and I tried out this place recently and we were quite pleased. The service was friendly and overall very polite and courteous. The place was clean with some Thai and cultural decor giving it an authentic feel. Lunch specials ends at 2:30pm and they have a separate menu for that. Though the lunch special menu only have Pad Thai as their noodle selection and the rest are mostly curry dishes. However, the difference between lunch special pricing and regular entrée noodles pricing is just about $.45 cents. Though the lunch special also will give you a free Tom Yum soup which is worth about $3 so it's a good deal. I ordered a Pad Thai Lunch special that came with the Tom Yum soup and the beau ordered a Pad See Ewe off the regular menu. Although his order didn't come with a soup, they gave it to us anyway (maybe it was because I was ordering another dish to go). I also took a takeout menu with the intention of saving it for reference and saw that there was a coupon for free appetizer of Egg Rolls or Crab Rangoon with purchase over $15. The owners gave that to us too so in all we got 2 free soups and 3 free Egg Rolls with our order. They were very nice about it. As for the food, everything tasted good and close to authenticity though not the absolute best Thai dishes I've had so that is why I gave 3 stars (I'm quite the critic when it comes to Thai food since it's my favorite). Though don't let that deter you from giving this place a try because it's definitely a good place. I would definitely come back here again as the food and price was fairly decent. My total bill came out to be about $27 before tip and after tax for 3 entrees. Oh, and the portions they gave us was very generous too, we ate full and had some to take home. read more

From the moment you walk in, you are immediately in zen like mood. The sounds of water trickling softly combined with the score from Kung Fu Panda almost wants to make you meditate. In fact, the ambiance forced me to sit with perfect posture and bring out my calm polite voice. The food. From start to finish this is the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to. Ever. I was kind of mad that I have been wasting my time at Thai Thanee and Thai Garden all these years. But then the anger was quickly swept away by the zen version of a boys to men song. Can't get mad here. The fried tofu: perfect with the sweet peanut sauce. Crunchy on the outside and airy on the inside. $4 for a portion to feed 3 people easily. The tom yum soup (tofu): we ordered it medium. Our mistake. You are not to blame Dan Thai. It was very good but the spice took away from the lemon grass. Next time we will not mess with it and get it as is. Lesson learned. $4 for a small which 2 of us couldn't finish. The larb: never had it before but I should have. Ground chicken tossed in lemon or lime with onions. A lot of food here. A lot of chicken. Wasn't sure what to do with the lettuce on the side so I rolled up some larb on there. Amazing. $8 for a plate which can feed 4 people easily. The sesame chicken: Yes. This is a dish that can easily go the wrong way but not here. Crunchy. Crunchy like Korean chicken wings. Sweet. Ordered it medium. Next time I will get hot. This was the best sesame chicken I have ever had in my life. And my ass has gone to a lot of $5 lunch special spots in my life. This is the real deal. Leaves a slight tacky feeling to your teeth for a few seconds and melts away cleanly. $9 for one dish which could have served 4 people. There isn't a single bad thing I can say about this place. I am a fairly negative nancy usually but I feel great leaving here. I think I will just lay here and smile for a while. Have a beautiful day. ***UPDATE*** the zen mood does not apply to lunch pick up. However, they did not disappoint. Although the lunch specials were lacking in quantity and cost, they made up for it in quality. I have to keep reminding myself that's it is Thai, not Chinese take-Out. read more

Best place for Thai if you're in these burbs. I typically rotate between Beef Pad See Ewe, Chicken/Beef pad thai, and the panang curry. Their pineapple fried rice is really good too. This place is nearly as good as the awesome spots I find in the city... and I'm so particular with the choice of beef that asian restaurants use. These guys use some hearty and flavorful beef; not the generic chewy grainy stuff that is all too easy to find elsewhere. They even have sticky rice with mango that is soooo delish! Always spot on for flavor. My only few things: When they do delivery, they don't include utensils. Their thai iced tea is a lot smaller than I'd like it to be for the price. read more

Came here for lunch with co-workers today and hit a jack pot! I had spicy vegtables with tofu like I always get and it was perfect. The vegtables were neither under cooked nor over cooked. The flavor was outstanding. It even came with a cup of soup and spring roll. Good size portion of food. Its a very nice place inside and service was good. read more

My boyfriend and I was craving for Thai and wanted to try out this place. We've been to other Thai restaurants and most of them were just okay. We were really surprised that Dan Thai has really great Thai food. We ordered Shrimp Pad Thai and Beef Thai Fried Rice. Both entrees were delicious and had tasty flavor! And the portions were good for 2 people. The beef was very juicy (cooked medium well) and shrimps in the noodles were huge. Their service was also on point, which made my review a five star. Well done Dan Thai! We will absolutely be returning to your restaurant! read more

Service is very good attentive servers. Food is extremely sweet unlike other Thai places. Not able to tweak or cater to authentic lovers of Thai food., if not already diabetic you will become one. Typical flavors are missing in some of the items. read more

So far its been the best thai food we have had since moving to the chicagoland area from Seattle (they've got great thai food out there). We ordered the basil fried rice, pad kee mao (drunken noodle) and red curry. Everything was fresh, piping hot and well packed. The curry and fried rice are very good portion sizes. We had requested medium spice level and the food was on point. Will definitely order from here again. read more

My wife and I ordered the drunken noodles and the red curry. Both were yummy. The drunken noodles were handmade, slightly charred while cooking and were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Highly recommend. Oh yeah we also got the crab Rangoon and my wife noted it was top 3 she's ever had. Check this place out! read more

This restaurant hit all the marks. The place is clean and the staff is pleasant. The food was good, hot, tasty and arrived quickly. The price was reasonable. And is family owned. Cons: none read more

I was not disappointed at all by the meal and service here. The panang curry was light with a great flavor and really tender pieces of beef. The basil fish had a nice kick to it and the fish was cooked really well. The two dishes actually went really well together because the spiciness of the fish was offset by the coconut milk in the curry sauce. The service was true Thai style where our server was really friendly and checked on us to make sure our waters were always refilled. I would recommend this place for a casual lunch or dinner with co-workers or friends. read more

Had a craving for Laos food, since I didnt have all the ingredients, I placed a pick up order for papaya salad and sticky rice at Dan Thai. The lady who took my phone order was friendly and was still friendly when I went to pick up the food. Total cost me about $11 with tax. The papaya salad hit the spot, although it wasnt spicy as I had requested. Overall, Id be willing to try other items on their menu. read more

Maybe in it day this place might of been good. The food was subpar. The place is dirty. My one and only time here.

Picked up food to-go. Tried the green curry, panang curry and pad thai. The curries were nice, salty but not overly so. The pad Thai came in a Styrofoam container that was lined with foil, which was nice because sometimes it's so hot the pad Thai can melt the Styrofoam, imparting a plastic flavor to the food. I would go back, for sure. read more

Wow! we all loved EVERYTHING we ate!! Spring rolls whwre big and light! I loved my chichen pad Thai. The shrimp pad Thai had nice big shrip! read more

Best Thai food around. Delicious pot stickers, Rama Thai noodles are amazing, smoothies are awesome as well. Awesome owners who remember you and are extremely nice. read more

Great place for vegetarians and one thing that I loved about them was they fry tofu and put it the curry which made it taste so yummmmmm! This place is good for authentic Thai food and is kind of casual eat. Service was good too. One thing I did not like it was their back area towards the restroom was too dirty and it was smelling so much shrimp that we had to change our place. I noticed it maybe because I was in a mood for fine dine and we just happened to be here because of the reviews. But overall I was happy with the food. read more

My husband and I were definitely craving some Thai food. Our favorite Thai restaurant closed permanently, so we've been struggling to find a replacement. Since Dan Thai is so close we decided to give it a try. We started with the Tom Yum Soup and Chicken Satay. Both were pretty good, but nothing too special. The Satay sauce was thick and wasn't what I was used to. It still tasted okay. I got the green curry with chicken, and my husband got the red curry with beef. Both curries were very spicy that I had to drink two glasses of water. The chicken and beef were both tender and the veggies in the curry was nice. My issue was that the curry sauce didn't have enough coconut milk in it and was more watery than I prefer. The taste was also a little bland and lacked some seasoning. The only thing we really tasted was the spice. The portions were big and the service was good. I may try it one more time, but I am going to have to opt for something else next time. read more

I think this is the closest authentic restaurant for Thai food I had so far. I love Tom Kha Gai. It's pretty good. I also like their Pad See Ew. Good food on a rainy day. My go to for Thai. read more

The food is phenomenal. I am absolutely happy with the Tom Kha soup and the Pineapple Curry with a Tofu. One thing, the spring rolls are really bland. read more

Discovered this hidden gem in 2015 when we were apartment hunting, we moved from Arlington Heights to Wheeling to settling in Schaumburg since then, yet made the drive to binge on their freshly prepared food. Our go to food: Appetizers: Chicken Wings or Som Tum Green Papaya Salad Soup: Hot and Sour: Main course: Spicy Catfish (must try), Pad Thai, Red/Green/Yellow/Mussaman/Panang curry, Basil/Vegetable fried rice Thai Iced Tea to finish the meal They are a small setup and understand that food prep can go from 7/10 to 9/10, but service is always 10/10 read more

First visit. Nice place. Great food. Very clean and staff wearing masks and face shields. Pad Thai tasty. Mango curry had nice spicy taste but not too hot. Dishes nice and warm when we got home. $1 for extra rice a must. Will go again. read more

The basil Thai fried rice is good- however- it seems like they may have multiple chefs as the quality/taste is not consistent. I am quite obsessed with their fresh spring rolls with shrimp. It's so refreshing in the summer but really also anytime of the year. Pro tip- it's so much better with their peanut sauce vs. the sauce it comes with (the peanut sauce is an up charge but trust me so worth it). read more

I've ordered here several times. Food is so amazing and portions are a good size. The only negative thing I can say is that the ice had particles in it. The ice machine needs to be cleaned. read more

Visiting from Portland Oregon where Thai restaurants have replaced most Chinese restaurants do there are many to choose from. Here, Thai restaurants are hard to find so I was super happy to find this place. Not as good as my favorite Portland Thai spots, but for the Chicago 'burbs this place rocks! Their Pad Woon Sen is tasty and the portions large. Satisfies my Thai fix until I get back to Portland. read more

Someone told me this was the best Thai around. Just before we went last night we were talking about all the Thai restaurants we have been to, and maybe there is no such thing as bad Thai. There is and this is it. Maybe it is from a different region than every other Thai restaurant I have been to but starting with the Tom Yum soup which almost seemed like beef broth base instead of the fresh lemongrass flavor. All of our dishes were sub par and lacked traditional Thai flavor read more

This place used to be really good up to a couple of years ago. Ownership changed and quality of food took a turn. Also for take out, they are very slow. You show up on time but have to sit and wait for 30 minutes for them to make a couple of dishes. read more

Is Dan the guy who owns this great Thai restaurant? Or does the word "dan" mean something in Thai? Regardless, I'm a fan of Dan Thai, whether it's pick up or delivery! The first time I ordered Dan Thai it was direct from the Yelp app (our very own Eat24), and I've had various deliveries since! They deliver on time with a smile! Some of my faves include: -Drunken Noodles with chicken: Super flavorful and perfectly cooked! I like heat level medium. -Pad woon den with beef -Spring rolls -Basil fried rice -Chicken skewers: Peanut sauce FTW! I know I'll order from Dan Thai again...surely sooner than I think. read more

I really LIKED this place before. The food tasted great. I came here every week until today. It's my last time here. It's new year and I wanted to get nice Thai food but 1. Service sucks. The waitress didn't get my order right. 2. I asked for medium spicy but they made the dish so spicy that I couldn't eat it and I had to tone it down with 2 cups of hot water. Ridiculous. It's almost like a sarcastic act because they put chili powder at first and I asked them to put fresh chili when I ordered the dish so I sent it back and they came back with this. 3. I sent another dish back because it's super sweet and I asked no sugar. They came back and it tasted the same. They couldn't fix it so I canceled the dish. I always had this dish before and it never tasted like this. 4. I asked to talk to the owner but she's not here so I asked to talk to the manager instead. We said hi before and he knows me but today he couldn't be ass coming out to talk to me. Too busy cooking and the restaurant wasn't even packed. The manager asked me to write on a paper what I wanted to say... ok are you really serious? I thought this is his job to talk to the customers, to represent the owner when she's away. Guess not. Worst service ever. Not coming back. read more

The red Thai curry, red snapper, and Tom yum soup was excellent but not impressed with the service. The Lar Nar noodles and the "crispy noodles" were not good and they only took off the crispy noodles but refused to replace with something else and did not take off the Lar Nar. The funniest part was when they offered to re use partially eaten shrimp in a new dish??!! Then they retracted and said the owner said that we couldn't replace the dish after all... Apparently the owner was in Thailand which they only disclosed at the end but they said the owner doesn't allow them to replace anything. They upcharged the red snapper which is usually 27 to 30 claiming that it was bigger and they added 18% gratuity for a table of 7 when I was not happy with the service. read more

Very tasty Thai food. Really enjoyed the red Panang curry and pad Thai. We will order from them again
