    Chicken curry puffs (Sweet and savory with chicken, potatoes, and other veggies. Soft, flaky, and super flavorful)

    The food was so good we forgot to get a picture first for the review! I have been to many thai restaurants and this one really stood out. Nice atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, food came out fast, prices were reasonable, and the food was wonderful. Very clean and cozy. Highly recommend the shu mai, curry puffs, and the thai iced tea.

    One of my favorite Thai restaurants on Taylor street! I personally love the pad see ewe and the curry fish cake appetizer and that's my go to. Today I tried a new one- yellow curry with chicken and It was soo good! Balanced curry flavor with a hint of sweetness possible from coconut milk? I also got the mango sticky rice cause they're in season. Mango was so sweet and soft, and the sticky rice with coconut milk was perfect. My coworker got a pad Thai and she loved it! Great Thai restaurant to visit who're quick lunch if you work around here.

    Golden Paradise and Tom Yar Soup

    Golden Thai is unassuming yet charming. It has a very homey and welcoming feel. I went during a weekday lunch hour. I had the golden paradise beef and the Tom Yar soup - spicy. Both dishes pack a lot of flavor without being overwhelming. I will be back to try other dishes!

    Pad see ew
    Tina C.

    Thai food is my favorite! I found this place near the hotel I was staying. I got the coconut soup with chicken and pad see ew. The lady that served me was so sweet. I assume she is an owner. The soup was so flavorful. It's great except for the chicken. Chicken was a bit rubbery but I love the broth. The pad see ew was just as good. I asked for mild and add my own spice so it's not overly spicy. Bomb. I would come back if I was in Chicago again.

    Service is friendly. Zero wait . Sunday at March 2021. Most of their items are tasty, not much salty. It's worth for a fair price. Their ice tea is on a sweeter side and the pad Thai is also in a bit sweeter side. Tom yum soup is sweet, spicy and sour and I almost always get for a starter. Place is tiny and can get crowded very easily

    Crab rangoon
    David Z.

    My school cater Yummy Thai all the time since its cheaper but the food isn't good so people told me Golden Thai is better. While this is true, it wasn't by much. I ordered the crab rangoon, papaya salad, and the curry noodles. the first two were fine, nothing wrong but also hard to mess those up. Since I got take out, the crispy noodles on top were a bit soggy which I accepted since I knew that would happen. However, the issue was the other noodles were too mushy, felt like they were over cooked. The curry sauce was also way too sweet. I know Thai curry has a sweet element but this was edging towards a dessert. It had good curry flavor, it was just so sweet.

    Little Italy has so many Thai restaurants that it's hard to really narrow it down to just one spot. I felt a bit adventurous one day and decided to walk a bit further down Taylor St. to eventually make it to Golden Thai, a cute, one-stop shop for all your Thai cuisine goodness. I had called in half an hour prior for an order of Crispy Beef Pad See Ew ($10). I figured, why not try something different today while still getting the same sweet, stir-fried flat noodles that I absolutely adored? The pickup order I placed took about 20 minutes to prepare, likely due to their smaller staffing and desire to make the sure the food was prepared well. The quality of the noodles was good! Although a bit cold after it made its way back home, I really enjoyed the flat noodles and tender beef that made up my dish. The crispy part was certainly interesting making it a bit chewier than normal. If I could go back, I'd settle for the regular style of pad see ew, but it doesn't make this any less tasty. Portion size was decent but felt small given the amount you paid. Good prices, good food, and overall good service. Golden Thai passes as one of my now go-to spots for Thai in the area.

    Noodles were good and so were the portion sizes. Everything had nice flavor and didn't skimp on ingredients. Better than the noodles at yummy Thai.

    Instantly one of my new favorite restaurants in Chicago. And probably one of my favorite Thai…read morerestaurants of all time. As a street food spot that's popular for lunch, you get different offerings here than a lot of your other neighborhood Thai joints. Sat on the outdoor patio so didn't get to see the inside much but I liked our atmosphere and service. Split the papaya salad and the Laab Moo Krob (crispy pork belly salad) with a friend and both were outstanding. From the first crispy bite of the pork belly I was in love with the texture and flavors. We added a side of sticky rice with that which was perfect. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu that day but looks like I'll just have to return as soon as possible.

    Lots of Thai food spots in West Town but what distinguishes JJ Thai is their street food-focused…read moremenu. I advise straying away from the noodle classics like Pad Thai or Pad See Ew and opt for a soup, chicken, or rice plates! Pretty small inside so you may have a bit of a wait but overall really quick service. Jina's Fried Chicken (E7): Thai southern style marinated leg quarter topped with fried onion and cilantro served with sweet and sour sauce and black sticky rice Braised Pork with rice (R5): Braised pork hog and ham in Thai and Chinese herb with hard-boiled egg, Shiitake mushroom and pickled mustard green served over Thai jasmine--rice with spicy-sour sauce on the side. Chicken with ginger rice (R4): Poached chicken served over ginger-garlic rice with soybean ginger sauce on the side. Pork Belly with Fish Sauce (SP6): Fried marinated pork belly cubes served with spicy dipping sauce
