I was looking for noodles or Thai food. I googled Thai food near me and this location populated. We ordered Egg Foo Young and veggie fried rice. Yummy for my tummy. The gravy in the Foo Young was seasoned well and it was the right color brown not too dark and the consistency was perfect. Also the service was fast and how they packaged the food was really good. No wet bags, or spilled food read more

Food was amazing, as well as the service. Staff was so kind! Small, delicious restaurant to consider supporting on your next trip to Little Italy! 100/10 read more

Good food all around! Got the crispy pad see ew, pad kee Mao, and steak salad and all were perfect! Noodles are soft and chewy and steak was cooked amazing. Not too busy of a spot but hits the spot. Wish the crispy pad see ew was half crispy half soft noodles as it was tiring to eat after some time but it's a great dish to share between 4+ people :) good vibes and fun music read more

Love, golden Thai amazing food, delicious food everything there's tasty original Thai food

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. read more

Right around the corner from Rush hospital. The curry was great and the service was fast. Thanks Golden Thai!

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! read more

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. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant in the Chicagoland area. It is a small joint, but they pack a big punch. Their appetizers are totally scrumptious, try the shrimp and vegetable tempura, the egg rolls, the fish cakes, chicken satay, on and on. Their dishes are delicious as well. read more

Definitely tied for my favorite thai restaurant in town. The food is always delicious and high quality. The drunken noodles, mussamun curry, and panang curry are always top tier. Great service with shorter wait times. Definitely definitely worth checking out if you haven't already! read more

Definitely my favorite thai place in this area! The staff are so friendly and nice, and they gave decently sized portions! Usually I can only finish 3/4 of a meal unless I'm super hungry. This has become a regular comfort food place and LOVE all of their curries (my ultimate favorite is the panang). I also love that they don't charge extra most meats (e.g. beef is the same price as chicken). read more

Probabke the best around this are. Good stuff but even though they close at 9, order before 830pm

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 read more

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. read more

We went there for lunch. It's a new restaurant for me, while my friends have been there many times. A nice small restaurant. We ordered singapore noodles, crispy pad see ewe, roasted duck & rice, and pad thai. If you are not familiar with their crisp pad see ewe, it is surprisingly crispy. We ordered mango sticky rice for dessert. The sticky rice was interestingly sweet, each order is enough for two. read more

This is a hidden gem. And the only restaurant that I know of that makes crispy pad see ew. Think of pad see ew, but the noodles are deep fried first before being tossed in the savory soy-based sauce. The noodles are shatteringly crisp on the inside, and slightly softened from the sauce. Completely addictive. They also have fantastic spring rolls that are made with shrimp, chicken, and mint. read more

Golden Thai is a go to for my roomies and I. They have delicious and reasonably priced Thai food with so many vegetarian options. I love their drunken noodles with tofu (pad kee mao) and panang curry. I have been going to this place for over 3 years and their dishes have been consistently delicious- it's def a keeper. Pro tip- call in your order and it'll be ready within 5-10 minutes. read more

This place has pretty solid Thai food in a no frills restaurant. -The prices are reasonable but the portions are a little small. The drunken noodles didn't have too many noodles but had lots of veggies and other items. -their tofu is good and plentiful -the curry we got was a bit watery and so I wouldn't recommend the yellow curry -flavors are not too spicy, but they have chili sauce if you want to add it - I would probably get other items if I went back like the pad see ew or the fried rice read more

I have been getting food from here for years! Definitely one of my go to Thai food places. Ingredients have always been fresh and they use a ton of veggies. The dishes are also not too greasy. Great flavors and portions are large enough that I am able to split them into two meals sometimes. My favorites: pad woon sen, pad kee mao and pad thai You can also choose your spice level! read more

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. read more

I have been to plenty of Thai spots and this is defiantly one of the best. It was small and a little chilly inside but the food packed huge flavor and the food was inexpensive. We ordered about 8-9 dishes for 52.00. What I loved most was the crab Rangoon because in a lot of places it's frozen then fried. There's was handmade and fresh and I'm usually not a fan of fried rice- but there's was awesome ! The rice was soft and wasn't drowned in sauce and they use pineapple which gives it a completely different flavor ! I'm going again read more

The Curry Noodles AND Pad Noodles with only Vegetables was TERRIBLE. I paid $40 for those two dishes with fried rice, and my Noodles came out like THIS. Half cooked and a spoonful was cold and crispy. I should've suspected something was up when went to grab my pickup, the young lady at the front said my name, and two of the older cooks laughed. I didn't take it personal but maybe I should have. I am highly upset and cannot believe they would do something like this. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I was really looking forward to trying good Thai food in Chicago. This was my friend's go-to spot while in college so I decided to give it a try. It's definitely a casual spot for quick Thai food. The inside is a decent size with some cute decor. When we walked in around 3pm on a Wednesday it was completely empty. We ordered Pad Kee Mao with tofu and Green Curry with veggies. The food came out promptly and was piping hot, but it definitely lacked in taste. The Pad Kee Mai noodles were extremely soft to a point where they felt slimy and mushy. For medium spicy level, it was pretty darn spicy but still not flavorful. Same with the green curry. It had a sweet taste to it and was spicy but was too watery. I've had much better Thai food and was really disappointed. read more

I ordered the chicken pad Thai. It was good but it was a little dry. I ordered to go and will go back but I'll definitely ask for extra sauce. Flavor was good and service was good as well. read more

Love this little place. Lived in CA for years where you could get amazing Thai food. Since moving to the Chicago burbs I've been really disappointed in nearly all the Thai food I've had. This was the first Thai food (other than one other meal) on four years in the Chicago area that I thought rivaled my CA favorite. I loved the chicken satay, yellow curry, and larb. Will definitely be back. I like this place because they stick with the basics / classics and don't go too much into "fusion" thai etc. Place is cute and lady who served me was very nice. UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW - my only complaint is about spice levels specifically the Larb. "Mild" is zero spice and "medium" is pretty hot. They need something in between. I think they need to add a touch more heat to the mild larb, or else offer a "no spice" version and a mild version that is a bit hotter than what they currently offer. read more

We ordered delivery and got curry fish cakes, golden Thai roll, papaya salad, chicken satay, ginger chicken and shrimp pad see ewe. We accidentally ordered the golden Thai roll thinking they were regular spring rolls, so be careful reading the description! Everything we got was decent. Pretty basic Thai food, not a bad thing. Just being honest. read more

LOVED this place! My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday night. We were able to find street parking right in front of the restaurant. We ordered the crab rangoon, beef pad Thai with a medium spice level, and the red curry with chicken with the medium spice level as well. The crab Rangoon was fresh and the balance between cream cheese, crab, and onions was good! At first we thought the medium spice level wasn't spicy, but the more we ate we realized the spice was definitely there! It was subtle but made our food more enjoyable. I think we would have been able to handle the spicy level though! The pad Thai was really good. Not too saucy and not too dry. I loved the red curry! The vegetables weren't over cooked and it was a really good portion. The restaurant seemed more busy with take out orders than people actually in the restaurant so that says something about how great their food is! Overall, I would really recommend this restaurant for authentic Thai food. Great location, easy parking, friendly service, and good food! read more

Used to come to this place very often, since I work in the medical district. Today, I placed a phone order for pick up and the woman who answered the phone insisted on changing my order. I said basil fried rice she said basil and chicken. I tried to correct her but there seemed to be a language barrier. When I called to inform them about the error she was so rude and even yelled at me. No accountability at all. The customer service is beyond horrible. What a shame. read more
