We had great food (as always),but the service this time was exceptional. Bell waited on our table. Efficient, courteous and personable. By the end of the meal she was like a friend joining us at the table. We hope the next time we are there, she waits on us! read more

where the food is always amazing, the wait is ridiculous. i called in order was told 1 hour so i showed up at the 1 hour....another 30 minutes later...and no "i'm sorry" or anything. just have to prepare better if you want the food since they no longer have dining. read more

Oh YUM... McHenry County can be at least 10 years behind the times, so when this place opened several years ago I was surprised. Very. I was even more surprised at how good it is and how cute it is inside (probably the best atmosphere around). I am a veggie gal, especially when it comes to Asian food. I am often so disappointed when I ask for extra veggies and the dish comes with no color and just more bamboo shoots. However, Green Peapod does it up right. When I ask for extra veggies, the dish is crammed with mushrooms, basil, bell peppers, bean pods, and tons of other stuff. Greatly appreciated and SO tasty!! While I have never had a bad meal, the stand out dishes are definitely Pad Kee Mao with tofu, rice soup with tofu (it is so simple, fresh and delicate yet super flavorful. They don't skimp on the ginger, either!) and beef salad. The taro pearls in coconut milk is like dying and going to Polynesian heaven. Taro is one of those things that everyone should try (I describe it as "delightfully bland") and this is a great way to try it with a little pizazz. Yeah, I just said pizazz... So happy this place has lasted and no matter how far away I live, I will always make a special trip to get my fix. read more

I really do love this place. The tofu appetizer and chicken satay are sooo good. I absolutely love the peanut pad thai, I get it with extra tofu and the guys get it with Shrimp. Big favorite in our house! The thai tea was really hard to drink, I'm not sure what I was expecting but that wasn't it. LOL. That could be entirely my own fault so I am not holding that against them. My only concern is the price, it's pretty high considering other comparable places in the area. We'd eat it more frequently if it were a little more reasonably priced. Otherwise we LOVE green peapod! read more

We had lunch at this restaurant a couple days ago,beautiful place, great food wonderful atmosphere and the waitress,( Kylie ) is fantastic she works her butt off, when were there she was by herself working the whole restaurant but yet was able to serve us in a fast and elegant way. But be aware people that this little girl Kylie even though she works her butt off if you leave a tip the owner of that green Peapod will take half of it away from her which I fine appalling that the owner of a restaurant would take hard earned money away from the waitress that earned all of it !!! Tip in cash is my tip so the hard-working waitress named Kylie gets what she deserves!! read more

Should probably mention their crab Rangoon, best hands down! The ginger sauce is my reason for buying Peking ravioli. Lo mein is very good, as well as their combo lunches/ dinners. Best is , consistent! My pet peeve. They only disappointed me once and made up for it. Squeaky clean. My go to read more

This place is amazing!!! The pad Thai is awesome! They deliver out to Volo which is huge plus!

Our favorite place in town. My favorite is the shrimp pad Thai. Also like the pad wonseen. The spring rolls are more of a pancake type wrap which was disappointing. Love this place! read more

Delicious food from appetizers to deserts to drinks. Reasonably priced and great quantity. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 we were turned away from the restaurant half an hour prior to its close time. read more

Great Thai restaurant! The atmosphere was wonderful and the food even better! Service was also great. I would highly recommend!!

We order from them all the time! Food is always good & always hot when it gets delivered. The delivery driver is very friendly. Love the bubble tea! Yum! Never had any issues with our orders. Great place! read more

We absolutely love this restaurant When we found out they deliver was not a great thing because now we order ALL the time! read more

The service here is abysmally terrible no services takes 2 hours for an entire This absolutely unsatisfactory

I started eating Thai Food downtown Chicago where it is typically cheap, fresh, and delicious. Most of the dishes contain vegetables with either rice or rice noodles with a choice of meats such as chicken, pork, beef or seafood. I have never gone wrong with a standard thai dish, however that was until ordering Lard Nar from Green Peapod in McHenry. Rather than the sauteed vegetables in a thick, rich brown sauce my order tonight looked more like Lar Nar soup. Even my boyfriend said it looked bad and he never complains. It was so unwholesome that the decently cooked vegetables were not worth the bother and the entire dish was deservedly put directly down the garbage disposal. I called the restaurant to let them know that they had put out a bad product. The girl on the phone (who originally took our order) said that the owner said that that is the way they make it and all the cooks were of Thai heritage!! So what am I missing. Lard Nar is now considered a soup dish?? I think not. That's how they make it folks so if you like watering runny sauces smothering your food, this restaurant is the place for you. For me. . . I think not! BTY I would have posted a picture buy it's already been put down the disposal. Mega icky food. Don't go there!!! read more

Awful experience last night - took 45 mins from ordering to get food - bones in chicken in pad Thai - lucky I got it and not my kids. - girl who can't have been more than 9 years old (owners daughter?) took order - younger boy with no shoes walking / crawling around floor - in and out of kitchen. - food was OK - had much better - wouldn't go back read more

Ok, I don't know how this place has so many great reviews... I finally gave it a try based on friends recommendations and the reviews on yelp. Like any Thai place I visit for the first time I always order the duck curry, as I feel it's a classic dish that serves as a great way to judge a restaurant. Before I get into the food lets start with the service. We were greeted and seated promptly upon arrival by a very friendly waitress, sadly she was not ours that evening. When our waitress finally came to the table she just stood there with a notepad and stared at us with a blank stare.... Ok I guess I'll start this conversation... I said hello and we both ordered a drink and some waters. I asked for a vodka tonic with lime, which obviously confused her because I got the same blank stare again. No big deal I tought to myself, she's young and probably doesn't drink, so I explained it to her. After about 10 minutes she came back with the drinks, this place obviously doesn't have a competent bar tender because the tonic water was as flat as the table and tasted like sh#* and the like was missing. Whatever I thought, trying to keep a positive outlook, I'll just drink my water. Ohh that's right, we didn't have water. Luckily, the nice waitress that sat us came by and granted us our wish for a couple glasses of water. At one point after the whole drink and water fiasco our waitress finally came back to take our order, at which time I ordered my curry. When the food arrived she placed my fiancés dish on the table and then just held the platter out to me. I asked if was to hot to pick off the platter, she said yes.... So I guess that was my cue to pick the hot plate off of platter... At this point I didn't care anymore and just grabbed the plate off of her serving tray, it wasn't that hot by the way. Hoping for the memory of horrible service and terrible drinks to be washed away by glorious curry I took the first bite... I'm sure you can guess how it was by the amount of stars.... I never had duck that was actually impossible to cut with a butter knife.... until now. Needless to say I will not be coming back, which is really disappointing because I was hoping for a decent Thai place nearby. Guess I'll just have to drive to another county next time. :( read more

This place is amazing. They have the best tasting Lard Nar here. If you have never had it before, get it. The gravy they use has a nice sweet taste to it that's not over powering and the thickness of the gravy is just right. Tried Lars Nar at other Thai restaurants and either the gravy is too sweet, or the gravy tends to be very gelatinous. Their fried potstickers are also amazing as well as their Pad See Ew. If you're craving Thai, definitely try this place. Your stomach and taste buds will thank you. read more

Absolutely amazing flavor! The prices are more than worth it! We spent about $80 for 5 people and we did not regret it. We enjoy their food for birthdays now! read more

Probably the best Pad thai w Chicken I've had! Really good place!!!

If anyone thinks this place has good Thai food, then they obviously haven't had GOOD, authentic Thai food. We hadn't ordered food from Green Peapod in about a year...we weren't too impressed last year but we thought we'd give them one more try. We ordered Lard Nar with beef and Rama with chicken, plus crab rangoon for take-out. The portions were small and only 4 rangoon instead of 6 or 8 like most other places. And it was $30! To add insult to injury, the food was disgusting. The sauce on the Lard Nar was watery and barely had any flavor and the Rama had frozen veggies (carrots & peas) in it, not fresh. The crab rangoon was the worst we'd ever had. We threw the last one out. We will never eat here again. read more

This is a great date night place! My husband already had tried the food and wanted me to taste the delicious flavors you find here. I was definitely not disappointed. The service was good even the water had a personal touch to it. Prices were good too. we wish we would have had room for dessert but there will definitely be a next time. read more

After reading all the rave reviews thought we would give it a try. Sorry to say we were disappointed. The food was good but it came out luke warm. Service left a lot to be desired. The only time the waitress came to the table was to take our order and at the end of the meal. read more

After bicycling I decided to find something to eat. I trusted yelp reviews, I chose thai as I love thai curry and, it was a good choice. Great food, best curry duck I ever had! And I tried lot of ducks :) half duck mean half, no bones only meat, very juicy and well done. I will definitely be back. read more

My friend and I went there for lunch today. We both ordered a bubble tea drink with our lunch. I got the taro bubble tea and she got the papaya bubble tea. Her papaya bubble tea tasted like perfume and asked if it could be replaced with the taro bubble tea. The waitress said that the owner refused to exchange my friend's drink to the taro bubble tea becuz my friend might not like that one too. We said that my friend tasted my taro bubble tea and it tasted fine. Still, we were told that the owner would not exchange the drink. We said that the papaya does not taste like papaya at all. The waitress said that the papaya flavor comes from a powdered flavor papaya. As you walk into the restaurant there is a sign stating voted number 1 restaurant. We left feeling disappointed that the owner could not extend an act of goodwill and ensuring that their customers are satisfied. We will not return to this restaurant at all as we now see how little value they place on their customers. I wonder who and how they can be voted number 1? read more

Absolutely loved this place!! Excellent service, great prices, clean, fresh food. I was thrilled to have been invited by a friend to go here on a double date one evening. Definitely wanting to return, will be back 100 percent! Plenty of healthy options, vegetarian items as well. I really think this restaurant is doing a phenomenal job at delivering high quality food which is fresh and fun. read more

Lately we have been ordering take-out from the Green Peapod, and we are never disappointed! You'd be surprised at how many other places around town will either mess up your order, or you get your food home and it's cold/soggy. Every time our order has been perfect, the portion sizes were generous, and the food was delicious. It's easy to order from their menu even though I have a lot of dietary restrictions too. They are always happy to make substitutions! LOVE this place! read more

I've never had Thai before coming here. It exceeded my expectations. The chilli fried rice was amazing as well as lemon and garlic beef. Would def go here again.! read more

McHenry is definitely lucky to have such fresh and creative Thai food right here at home. Green Peapod is our favorite local take out restaurant mainly due to how fresh the ingredients always are. Our favorite is the vegetable soup, the drunken spaghetti, and the bubble teas. This is one of those unique restaurants that has you craving more. Always very clean and friendly, too! read more

I love their Thai Tea here. It's simply the best. Great service and food! The noodles are my favorite food item.

Pretty good Thai food for being in boo foo McHenry. Feel the price to portion ratio is a little off otherwise there would be a higher rating. I feel takeout is a better option than dining in as far as value goes. Try the pad Kee Mao. read more

Excellent vegetarian options here! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they have a 7 year old answering the phone and taking orders. This little girl is too young for this since ever single time we do take out from there, ou orders are ALWAYS messed up. Other than that, the food is great. read more

One of my favorite places to eat! Definitely a #1 go to with my friends and family. The lunch special is very reasonably priced and portions are generous. I always have leftovers. They are always willing to tweak the food on personal preference. Hands down best Thai food in the northwest suburbs. read more

This place was once a great place to eat. Two tables of people in the whole place. They bring me cold food not once but twice. They put the tofu dish I ordered in the microwave. Ever had microwaved tofu?? It's nasty!!! Will think twice about coming back. read more

One of the few restaurants in McHenry that has gluten free options! I love the pad thai and mama's tofu! I've had many dishes from here and they are all awesome. Portions are gigantic as well! read more

If you work way out in the 'burbs like some of us, you're either stuck with a Lean Cuisine, YUCK company cafeteria food or, IF you're lucky, a hungry coworker will make space for you in their car to go to Green Peapod for lunch. It's relatively cheap, really fast and pretty fresh Thai. Makes great leftovers too. read more

First time trying Thai Food & I'm in love! Everything was delicious! From the awesome potstickers and chive dumplings & my Pad noodle dish. I even ordered a green tea bubble tea Togo and it is amazing. Definitely will be back!! read more

Never had the pleasure of trying thai food before Green Pea Pod, but it has had made me love thai food! LOVE THIS PLACE!

I haven't had this good of Thai food since Bangkok. I was truly amazing to accidently find this amazing little gem of a restaurant. I can't believe that it is right here in McHenry, IL. If you go order the Potstickers for an appetizer. You cannot go wrong with the Pad Thai or the Garlic Beef. I haven't tried their Drunk'in Spaghetti yet however I am looking forward to it. I will let you know how it goes. Oh, and their staff is extremely friendly and very quick. read more

After hearing so many people rave about this place my husband and I decided to finally give it a try. We were completely underwhelmed and I cannot understand why people think it is so good. Both of our dishes were incredibly bland. When we get Thai I always order pad see ew and this was a big pile of flavorless noodles, chicken and broccoli. Seriously, it was like they added a tsp of soy sauce to a cup of water, it was that bland. My husband got the jungle curry and wasn't impressed with that either. Waste of $23. Needless to say we will not be returning. Do yourself a favor and check out Ta Wan Thai in Algonquin ot Krystal Thai in Crystal Lake, both of those places get it right. read more

Great lunch special. I only been here for lunch. The food is decent, not as good as the good thai food in a major metro area such as Chicago, but definitely great for the town of McHenry, which is a culinary wasteland. read more
