I ordered through DoorDash, and everything was... just fine. I ordered Pad Kee Mao, Khao Soi, an appetizer platter, Thai iced tea, and the basil limeade. The food was underwhelming and pretty low quality. The Khao Soi used frozen chicken that was rubbery and angel hair pasta that was packaged underneath all of the garnish separately from the broth, so it was hard to get it in without getting the garnishes underneath. The Thai iced tea gave me really bad heart burn, which typically it doesn't. The appetizer platter was fine, but not worth the $18 for average deep fried apps. Overall, I'd recommend going elsewhere for Thai food if you can. read more

Came here specifically for a cozy khao soi moment and it did not disappoint. I don't know if it's worth coming up so far north but none of the food was disappointing either. The noodles on the khao soi had a great bite and the portions were very large - I had leftovers for another meal read more

This used to be the old Opart location. It was good then and it's good now! I have only gotten takeout in the past few years just because it's usually crowded, but it always comes fast while still hot. Highly recommend the khao soi with tofu. read more

Really enjoyed our group meal at Green Leaf Thai! The server had fantastic recommendations for all parts of the menu! For appetizers, absolutely get the tigers cry. It's some of the most well marinated, tender pieces of beef! The Tom Yum soup with shrimp is enough to share with five people. For entrées, the peanut sauce was the surprise favorite. The crispy lard nar noodles were super crispy with a savory gravy. Wish the panang beef curry had more beef, but amazing curry sauce. Mango with sticky rice was well done staple. Will definitely be back! read more

When we went to Lincoln Park, Joseph suggested dining on Thai food. I agreed. I always loved dining on Thai food as tends to be my food of choice. I ordered the vegetarian Pad Kee Mao with not so much spice. Joseph ordered the chicken pad see ew with fried noodles. He said it tasted good. On my part, I liked eating it. The flavor tasted perfect. However, the server ended up being a bit curt with me when I asked if the vegetarian Pad Kee Mao did come with tofu. The server said abruptly (and a bit rudely), "No. No. it's either chicken, beef or tofu." She pointed at the menu. I said fine. The interaction made me think, she wanted to get out of there and did not want to be there anymore. While looking around the restaurant, I saw one other female customer sitting at Green Leaf Thai Cuisine. The ambience featured music by Alisha Keys, and Jay-Z and other contemporary music artists. The restaurant looks well kept. read more

This is the replacement of sorts for Opart Thai up here, though I think they just changed their name because the neighborhood rumor was that they had been having some ongoing issues. It is definitely *related* to Opart because their menu is the same and I asked when I was at the West Town location and was told it was their sister restaurant. Food is good, which is why it's kind of a bummer that I wasn't totally happy with my experience here. They arrived ten minutes later than the time they'd said they'd be here, which was already 70 minutes after I placed my order. The place is a mile away so it's not like they were driving across city; pretty disappointing. We ordered from here for Father's Day at the father's request, which was the second time ordering from this restaurant. They were earlier than their 60 minute suggested time so that was to the good. However, apparently when you add rice they replace instead of add--I added a large rice on the side because the dishes we were ordering are pretty hot and the rice helps to cut down on the heat. But imagine my surprise when JUST the rice I added was included, and not the two small rice that has in the past come with the order automatically, when I've not ordered additional rice. So instead of two small boxes of rice and the large one I ordered in addition, there was just one large rice for two entrees. Oh, and they didn't fill it to the top, as you'll see in the photo. If you're going to charge $2.50 for rice--and cut out the rice that comes as a standard accompaniment!--you need to fill the box to the top. read more

Off of several recommendations, I threw my friend a bachelor party here. We had a buffet set up with Pad Se Eew, Fried Enoki Mushrooms, Green Curry, Tiger Cry, Beef Jerky, Basil Pork, Isan Sausage Balls. And topped it off with Mango Sticky Rice. All 100% recommended. All of the guys literally had great things to say about the food and were even asking for the recipes. A big chunk of us are Thai so we've definitely had a lot to compare to. Can't say enough about the service, and about the owner/Manager Deer. He was very attentive to us and made sure we had everything that we needed. He also took the time on a busy Friday night to hang out with us for a bit. I live out in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago but this place is well worth the drive and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years - when it was Opart and then changed to Green Leaf - always our first choice. Up until now, never ever been disappointed. We went last Friday (7 of us) and order our favorites. Best of which has always been the Tiger Cry - we can never get enough of it. However, something has really changed. The flavor was still there but the meat was tough, chewy and cut into cubes. It has always been so tender and delicious. The type of meat may have changed - I don't know. - but please go back to the old recipe. I'm on the fence of whether to go back. read more

I love Thai food! Green leaf is one of my local go tos for takeout and we decided to try dine in and we were really pleased with the experience. Very solid entree dishes especially pad see ew (with crispy noodles). And peanut lovers dish! Their tiger cry and Tom yum soup make great appetizers. Would recommend you get a reservation , as we walked in and they were able to accommodate. Very busy on Friday nights. Cool atmosphere for hanging out with people or just grabbing a quick dinner. #thai #asian read more

We eat here regularly and just wanted to give an update because this place is still awesome! Favorite dishes massaman curry, prad kaprow, peanut lovers chicken. Amazing service and outstanding food. They get a little busy sometimes, but that is a sign of their popularity. Highly recommend! read more

We came here just randomly strolling Lincoln park. It's a pretty nice spot as per the interior. Lots of wood and Thai art. They linked up three lots to make a big space. I got pad see iew with chicken and I opted for crispy fried noodles. She had veggie pad kee Mao. Everything thing was pretty tasty. I've been honestly craving crispy noodles so it was a good that's offered for half of their noodle dishes. Service was ok-ish, like an air of impatience. Not really cordial but getting the job done. I think it was late on a Sunday before a holiday and was pretty empty and looked like staff just wanted to get out. But I liked it and the food was really tasty. I'd try again on a regular night. read more

We got to go, and the food was fine. Crab Rangoon has a strong celery flavor, and the pad tide does not have enough brightness of flavor for us. We had our own limes thankfully. It was ready when we got there though. read more

We ordered takeout from Green Leaf Thai Cuisine because of its neighborhood restaurant week, but we ended up ordering from the menu instead. We really enjoyed what we ordered. Some of the dishes were very flavorful, which we loved. We will most likely return if we are in the area and dine-in next time. read more

Located in downtown Lincolnwood. Parking can be tricky as many neighborhoods are permit only. This restaurant is right off the Western stop on the brown line. The interior decor was traditional Thai and the restaurant was not well lit. Service was attentive and quick. Food was subpar and came in small portion. We tried their seafood soup which was mostly water and imitation crab. The squash curry, one of their signature dishes, was creamy. However, the squash was kinda hard. We also ordered their whole chicken, also their signature dish, it tasted like rotisserie chicken at any grocery store... I really wanted to like the restaurant as they seemed to want to promote authentic Thai cuisine... Needs to pay attention to the quality and freshness of their food . read more

I was so saddened when Thai Opart closed down but when I saw Green Leaf opened up, we gave it a try. We tried several times takeout during the pandemic. I have never dined in. I was a bit disappointed about the menu prices because although Apps like DoorDash are easy to order, I gave them a phone call to place order and found that the price is the same as the App. Customer service is very nice. Fair warning: their food in general is on the SWEET side. I don't mind my food sweet, so it's ok for me. Pro tip: if your order is more than $50, mention free crab Rangoon when calling. Here's what we ordered: +3 moo ping (a10) $8.99 each my kids absolutely love it. Each order comes with 6 (I think?) sticks. Each of my kid can eat the whole order so hence 3 orders. It's like the pork skewer street food in Thailand. +1 sticky rice $3 a must order to accompany moo ping +1 vegetable pad see ew (d47) $10.59 +1 pad kra praow (g77) $10.99 +1 tofu pad thai (d44) $10.59 +1 tofu Penang curry (h82) $12.59 +1 side thin rice noodle $3 +Free crab Rangoon +Thai Iced Tea $3.99 Will definitely order takeout again. read more

There are no poor choices here. Green Leaf has been consistent and delicious (and fast service) for years. Still a fav' of mine!

Delicious Thai food. I love spice and medium was on the far end of what I would do. Probably go for the mild then add spice on my own.

Tried them a week ago. Ordered for delivery. Messed up order. Quality of food is maybe five. Pretty dull and flavorless. read more

Delicious Thai food! Thai is one of my favorite meals to get out, green leaf was amazing. It was walking distance from where my sister and I had taken a yoga class. My sister got for tofu satay and I got the khao soy with vegetables instead of protein. The khao soy was creamy and spicy , the veggies were soft and delicious. I had some of the cucumbers that came with my sisters tofu too and they were good. My sister loved the khao soy too. Definitely reasonable prices too for a large portion. Really glad we came here. read more

Had takeout for the first time from here and it was good, but I'm still searching for my Pad Thai of dreams miracle and this wasn't it.

I guess we shall have to return to find out. read more

Hello. If you have food allergies, beware. I asked for no onion - it was filled with raw onion. I have an onion/allium allergy...if I hadn't looked, their oversight could've literally killed me. It was on the ticket and the receipt- no Onions. In all caps to make it stand out. They offered to make new rice - but why would I walk back in the rain for rice. And crispy egg noodles...when they messed it up so bad the first time. Very disappointed- my favorite Thai spot and now I don't feel comfortable ordering from them anymore. just trying to share the levity of the fact that their lack of detail could've made me end up with Anaphylaxis - so beware when ordering read more

A friend recommended this place and I'm so glad that she did. I'll definitely be coming back again. Especially since I'd gotten so hooked on their yellow curry dish! - - Amongst other ones as well.

Was a big fan when this place was previously Opart Thai before I moved to CA in 2003. Fast forward to 2025 and Green Leaf was a major disappointment. Service was perfectly fine, but the food was barely edible. Steamed vegetables from a can. Not recommended. read more

No flavor at all. It's not even a seasoned spice. Lad nar was aweful. Watery from the broccoli. Noodles gooey not even pan fried. The Tom ka was just like eating hot peppercorns. No chicken in soup. Coughing like crazy too unflavored spicy. Once star is too much chicken egg rolls full of skin just fatty and not cooked to a toasty brown. Gross. read more

Pad thai More on the sweeter side. Ordered it with shrimp. It came with about 5 jumbo pieces of shrimp. Topped with peanuts and carrot shavings Curry fried rice This was fried rice mixed with dry curry seasoning. This was good. Wish it was a little more spicy but it was not too bad Tiger cry This was really good. It tasted like dried beef but with the sauce made it really flavorful Peanut sauce egg roll Interesting wrap with tofu and cucumber topped with peanut sauce. We wanted to try it because everyone on Yelp talked about it. Crab Rangoon This was not to bad they were jumbo definitely had more breading than the filling. read more

Prices are reasonable, despite inflation. Food is good. Love their appetizers, curry fried rice, basil fried rice, cashew beef, and iced coffee. Friendly staff, and I enjoy coming here alone to decompress and eat, while reading my magazines or e-book. They do a lot of take out business and obviously, delivery. They accommodate larger parties, but they seat them accordingly, so that couples or lone diners are not disturbed. Good ambiance! read more

I ordered Basil Fried Rice and Shrimp Tempura. The fried rice was good; wonderful level of spiciness and, while I don't usually like the tiny crumbles of chicken, they were plentiful and the flavor was good. The tempura was not tempura. It is more of a panko style breading, not the traditional style. It was ok, but not what I wanted, as I wanted the traditional light flaky tempura breading. This breading made everything extremely heavy and it also got soggy quite fast. If I were in the area I might eat there again, but there are also a lot of Thai places around there so I might be willing to try another place if it was open. read more

We came here for dinner with the family. The menu is pretty standard Thai fare, the dining room is clean but worn, portion sizes are reasonable and prices are high but competitive with similar places in Chicago. Service was very courteous too. The only thing missing was tasty food! We started with wonton soup and mee krob, or should I say bland broth with overcooked dumplings and crispy, unexciting, sticky noodles? This was followed by Pad Thai, also known as gummy, tasteless rice noodles sprinkled with carrots and peanuts. And we finally had Jungle Curry, an exciting bowl of watery, nearly flavorless red curry with little flecks of shredded shoe leather floating around. I can see why they picked the catchy name for a dish that immediately reminded me of jungle rot (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_ulcer). Okay, I take back the last comment whose humor was too harsh. Even before eating any of the dishes above I could see that the food was relatively colorless and watery; unattractive presentation consistent with the complete lack of flavor or appropriate texture. The best things about the meal were the steamed white rice and the jasmine tea which were both a la carte items for which we paid extra. read more

Pretty solid Thai food! The pad Thai was really tasty but I wish there was slightly more sauce. The panang was out of this world delicious. The basil fried rice wasn't spicy at all but I may not have specified so that might be on me. Will try again requesting a higher spice level and I bet it will be great! read more

This place is a bomb. I live close by, I think I had a lunch there and wasn't that impressed so I didn't come back. But recently friends have been talking about this place and I decided to give it a second try. Oh my oh my it was so good!!!! I had the Thai seafood hotpot, it was spicy and fresh. The best part is that you can grab beer next door and it's byob. I highly recommend this place and I ll definitely come back!!! read more

We're constantly searching for places that let you choose the spice level and actually deliver on it. Most times we're underwhelmed by the level of spice. We ordered the fried shrimp rolls to share and each got a panang curry hot. The shrimp rolls were good; I'm usually a crab rangoon gal, but these didn't disappoint. My husband has a high tolerance for spice and was pleased with his chicken panang curry. Next time, I'm going to take it down a notch. Mine was good, but just on the verge of being too spicy for me. In terms of protein, each had a good amount; usually another area of disappointment. Overall, we were very happy with our meal from Green Leaf read more

food is good but portions on entrees are much smaller than normal considering what you're paying

Very average. Pad thai- large portion but barely any flavor on it, so was like a blow of noodles. Chicken was dry. Pad se ew - little more favor but overall just ... blah. Meat isn't high quality. If you like noodles more crispy on the edges, pass on this one. read more

Used to eat here quite often when I lived in the Lincoln Square area. Unfortunately the food has gone downhill and the way they manage their app doesn't make sense. No required selection for spice so they defaulted the spice level of my Panang Curry to mild many times (just make that selection a requirement). I've never had Panang Curry this bland its consistency is closer to oatmeal with a spice level similar to what Masaman Curry would be. I would recommend opting for many of the other authentic Thai places in Chicago that cook their curries at a spice level that best represents the curry. The last few experiences ordering out from this place have been a waste of money and food at best. read more

Food is always fantastic, take-out or dine-in. I could eat the yellow curry every day. And always kind and friendly service!
