This is one of our favorite restaurants! Every dish is delicious. We especially like the grilled calamari appetizer. Other favorites include Pad Woosen and Drunken Spaghetti. We like that you can order extra meat for your dish. The Fried Cheesecake with Berry Sauce dessert should NOT BE MISSED. Service is friendly and efficient. read more

SAD! So we ordered takeout and it was amazing. The problem was the next day our credit card was charged again for the same order and we didn't make the order! They charged us for food we never ordered. And they will not reimburse us. That's theft. read more

Service was good. The food took a little longer, but that was no problem since it was made fresh. We started with calamari and edamame--calamari was cooked perfectly, and the wasabi sauce was a delicious, new twist. The edamame was okay, though it seemed a little off. For the entrée, I had the salmon teriyaki, which was really well made. The glaze added an extra crunch, the vegetables were great, and the rice paired perfectly with the sauce at the bottom read more

The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the ladies working here are so nice. I ordered the ginger tea and was blown away. Strong and full of flavor. This is the best ginger tea I have ever had. You can tell this is made fresh and not with a tea bag. My husband and I split the fried calamari it was perfectly cooked, chewy but not rubbery at all! My husband ordered the Thai fried rice with shrimp. He loved the flavor he just wish that they took the tails off the shrimp. He said he would definitely order it again. I had the Long Life Soup with extra Vegetables. I am normally not a fan of clear glass noodles but this soup was so delicious and I really enjoyed eating it! This restaurant is very clean, they play instrumental music and put white paper on the tables. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try if your in the area. read more

Their Pad Thai was phenomenal for my kids and my best friend and I shared the sampler and each had a cucumber salad. All was delicious, and the service was friendly and quick. We will be back again soon! read more

This was my go to spot. Now it taste like sugary Chinese food. No spice, grossly over sugared. Easy on Hoisin!!! When the asked about my food, my feedback turned into an argument with the chef. Ridiculous. Make Thai food already. Waitress was super nice but the cook needs to go. Time to find a new spot. read more

Came by to eat on July 4th and luckily they were open. Per the owner, they're usually not open on this holiday. There's a nice area for parking in front of the restaurant and it's nice they're a bit set back from the busy street. The inside of the restaurant is nicely decorated. There were a few tables already filled and we noticed many take out orders. There were two staff taking orders. Perhaps because we were hungry the food took about 30 minutes to come out despite the restaurant not being too busy. The food however was excellent, great flavor, good portion sizes. They have the best pad thai I've had in this area. The owner came to speak to us and was very friendly, we will definitely be back. read more

Updated 3/28/25 Been away for a while. Decided to go for lunch on a day off. Still outstanding, still yummy,fast service. Consistently delicious. Love this place! read more

Fabulous, pure flavors of authentic Thai! Highly recommend! I love their gluten free menu.

3.5 stars. My family and I ordered take out; ka prow, teriyaki, panang curry, and basil fried rice. The food was good, but I've had much better at other Thai restaurants. To be fair though, I love Thai food and have frequented Thai restaurants in many other major cities. So, for being in McHenry, Il it was very good. The restaurant was also clean and the staff was friendly when I went in to pick our order up. All in all, I would order from here again. read more

I had placed for a pickup order at 5:44 pm and was told it wouldn't be ready until 7:06 pm. I figured the long queue time was due to a packed restaurant, but when I showed up at 7:16 my order was still not ready. I then waited in the restaurant until I was finally given my order at 7:45, 2 hours after placing! During the extra 30 minutes of waiting there was maybe 5 tables in the restaurant being used. There was no explanation or even an ETA for the order, someone else even came in for their online order, said they were early, and were still somehow served before me. With a pickup time being well over an hour after being placed I would assume two noodle orders and an order of potstickers would be ready. The food tasted good (minus cold potstickers) but the service left a lot to be desired. If you are going to eat here plan ahead because this seems to be an issue they are fine with not resolving based on other reviews dealing with their takeout. read more

Ordered online for delivery only to find they have a limited delivery area. So we switched to pick up. Waited 10 minutes after placing the order to make the 15 minute drive. Just as we arrived there, I received a text saying it will be 110 minutes (basically two hours). We go inside and the restaurant is half full. There is no one else picking up while we're there. We ask if it would be faster if we just sat there and ate and were told "maybe". The young lady at the front desk seemed to not care at all about customer service. I asked to cancel the order and she said she'd have to see if they started it yet (so, it takes 110 minutes to cook it?). She says she'll cancel it, it will take 3-5 days to refund my money and she can't give me any receipt to show it was canceled. We love Thai food and are disappointed that our first attempt here was so bad we won't come back. read more

Food is superb and fairly priced. Be aware that takeout orders take a long time to be ready even after restaurant closes. Highly recommend in person experience. read more

I have been to green pea pod many times and is best Thai food in Mchenry county. They are still doing take out only just as a heads up. I ordered the pad Thai tofu as one of my favorite goto solid choices. Careful of they spicy level.... Medium has a very nice kick to it. Go mild if you don't like a kick. All is fresh and excellent. Highly recommending Green Peapod. Consistently excellent every time. read more

I was definitely in the mood for some red Thai curry with shrimp, and man, this place delivered. Set back off the street, it was unassuming. Once inside though, it shouted Thai. I was instantly greeted and told to sit anywhere like. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. The curry was amazing. Sweet with a smattering of heat. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. I will be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

My daughter placed a very large order from Green Peapod for a family gathering. There was a variety of appetizers, beef and chicken dishes that were regular and spicy and rice dishes. Everything was delicious! When ordering, she requested a specific time. Everything was hot and ready for pick up on time! read more

Food is okay, pad thai flavor was lacking. Asked for 3 spicy and it was very mild. Enjoyed spring rolls. Service not good. Understatement.

Such a beautiful restaurant in downtown McHenry! I love their Pad Thai and the serving is enough for me to bring home for another meal. Love the owner, she's so sweet and friendly!!! Can't wait to go back! read more

Can't believe I have never reviewed this place. Have been getting pad Thai from here for years. Sometimes twice a week, especially since I found out they do delivery. Delicious food. Obviously I'm addicted. Sorry it took so long to tell everyone how great you are. Best pad Thai everrrr read more

So many things I love about Green Peapod! The food never disappoints, the service is great! Whether you order online or at their location, you get exactly what you want. There are really only a few places to eat in McHenry that have the consistent quality and service, this is one of them! Great online ordering! read more

Food is great but service is terrible. always at least 30 minutes past when they say food will be ready for pickup. also witnessed an older blonde manager or owner sarcastically belittle a younger employee in front of everyone. just because of that I will not be going back here. shame because food is really good read more

I have yet to find a single place within a 2 hour drive of me that comes close to the palate pleasing flavors that Green Peapod offers. Their Pad Thai and Panang curry are my standard for a perfect not just Thai meal, but any Asian culinary dish. They get super busy on Friday and Saturday after 5:30, so just place accordingly read more

Delicious fresh Thai food and service that never disappoints. Northwestern suburb Gem.

Always such a treat to enjoy their specialties- authentic and so tasty. The service is personalized- been going here for 20 years since the restaurant opened- they are the best Thai restaurant A simple interior tastefully decorated and a feeling of authenticity read more

I met a friend a friend here for lunch as we both have strict dietary needs and we were both able to order something from the menu, however, I honestly am not sure what all of the hype on Yelp is about with this place. I wasn't overwhelmed by any of the flavors and was a little bit sickened by the goop they called dressing on the house salad (seriously, what was that stuff?). The teriyaki tofu was way too sweet and I was under impressed by the frozen vegetables that were neatly placed next to the tofu. People saying the bathrooms are clean need to not only have their eyes checked, but the remainder of their senses as well. So if I hated it so much, why am I giving it three stars? 1. The lunch specials are amazing, my entire check was around $8. 2. Perhaps we just picked the worst options on the menu? 3. This might be an amazing pick for McHenry, so who am I to judge?! And 4. The staff was extremely nice and we appreciated the attentiveness of our waitress and who I believed to be the owner stopped by our table multiple times with the warmest smile, I couldn't bear to tell him that the sauce overload was a bit too much. read more

This was a delicious surprise. I had the green curry with shrimp and I thought the flavors were very balanced and medium spicy. I would definitely come back! read more

Open for take out only right now so I thought I'd get something to take home.we tried the spring rolls, pot stickers and a veggie and tofu thing in a brown sauce; I forget what it was called. Veggies and tofu were delicious and I would definitely order again. The pot stickers were ok but the soy sauce was way to salty, and the spring rolls were good too but had a big chunk of cucumber that could have been chopped to match the size of carrots, and the roll was cut in pieces,and just personal preference but i would rather have them rolled smaller and left in one piece for more ease of eating. I would go back but probably just get the veggies and tofu in brown sauce again. read more

Food is Good but not good enough to wait 2hr to receive. This is second time this is the case. I normally dont leave reviews but the website will tell you 30-45 minutes until ready for pick up. You order and pay. Then get text saying 75 mins. Then arrive 80 mins later and wait another 35. This thoroughly ruins the the meal you had the taste for. Not worth the aggravation to order again. read more
