Let me start off by explaining that I am a regular. I was won over by this great resturant becuase they absolutely crushed anywhere else when it comes to Panang Curry. I have meandered into other dishes on there menu with great satisfaction, but you always come back to your first love. Although I mostly carry out, I have many times experienced there resturant. It is, like its Chinese neighbors to the west(Plum Garden), a wonderful place to dine in. The atmosphere is great, the wait staff is competent, and they make some wicked strange smoothie type drinks to completement your meal, or leave you confused... are those tapioca beads or peas? A local jewel, and lets hope they stick around like Plum Garden. read more

Loves this place! Food is excellent and service is great! I love Thai food, love making it at home, but it's nice to be treated at a restaurant and there are not many Thai places around. I love sitting on the front porch of this restaurant, the only complaint I have is that the seats are uncomfortable outside. Inside is great, nice light airy decor, simple yet stunning! BTW... why do people have to qualify themselves first with statements like "I used to live in the city...", "I am a foodie...", etc etc etc. I think people from the McHenry county area can be just as good at judging food than the rest of the world. Be proud McHenry-ites! read more

The Green Peapod is a must visit in McHenry. They also do delivery to Wonder Lake which is awesome! I am addicted to the drunken spaghetti. Everything we've tried has been delicious. read more

I can only speak to the deliciousness of the Pad Thai, because it's so damn good I can't bring myself to order anything else. Great atmosphere and friendly staff as well. It's the best Thai we've found in the area. read more

We come here every couple of months from the Algonquin area. This is real good, authentic Thai food and worth the trip. The food is always good and you get plenty to eat. I have tried a number of their items and have not been disappointed yet. The staff is young but they do a great job! read more

Very good authentic Thai food. Very happy to see such an establishment in McHenry. The duck curry is great! Have returned since then and had the red Snapper- Epic! read more

Green Peapod - Duck Curry. Very tasty - Thai Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

This was horrible. No flavor no spice. This is Thai food? Hot # 1 has no spice and basil fried rice used to be spicy and used to actually have basil. If it didn't allow 0 stars they wouldn't have gotten one. Pricey with small amounts of food. Shameful. Used to love this restaurant. Plus 1.5 hours for delivery. Joke read more

Work friends and I celebrated a co-workers birthday by ordering lunch, we had 18 orders, I just printed up one of the many menus online. I got orders, collected money, and faxed it in. He called back with a price as i asked for, it differed significantly. As the prices online didnt match the prices she charged. When I talked t the owner, i asked if she would honor the difference, she said no. Its not their web site, when I asked about all the other web sites she said her site is down, she isnt resposible o update the others, then how do you get the correct pricing. I asked is it possible for a Hospital Discount as, after all this, not only was it going to be much later, its much more expensive than I collected, That was $50 outa my pocket, and they wouldnt budge. Im very disapointed and will not recommend them again. read more

One of the best place in the town for Thai food ... I really enjoy their food its Ausum ... Had been there for several time ... Highly recommend .. read more

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST. I love this place I can't get enough. The best Thai food you will ever have. Their popular dish (Pad Thai) is my FAVORITE. I honestly can ever go to another Thai restaurant because they're all not as good as this one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The owner Poed (I believe that's how you spell her name) is very friendly! She's out in the dining room checking on everyone, if they need anything, if we like the food. And the server girls are all great! BEST THAI RESTAURANT EVER. read more

Absolutely NOTHING to complain about. As far as Thai food goes this is authentic and beyond delectable! I have enjoyed Thai food a majority of my life due to having a parent who is a chef and always wanted her children to experience new things. I have eaten Thai food in over 10 states within the US and when I lived in California I was extremely surprised by the amount of true Thai, Hawaiian, Japanese and Mexican Restaurants that existed out that way, it also changed my opinion of each extremely because I grew up in Wisconsin and Illinois for most of my youth. This establishment holds true not only to flavor but the craft and extremely fresh ingredients and spices. If I had to have a "complaint" it would be that they seem to fry their tofu even in the pad see ew, which seems wrong, but that's only because I've never had it prepared that way. HOWEVER!!! I am 100% sure if asked they would not do so if you prefer otherwise; I say that because when I lived in Cali there was a Thai dish I have not had since living there and when I told them about it they transformed their curry fried rice to match it almost identically by adding chicken, cashews, plumped raisins and pineapple! Amazing I moved here a month ago and have been pleasantly surprised by the area's culinary culture and this exquisite restaurant will have my business as long as their doors stay open! read more

Green Peapod - Back left to right green peapod sampler, mamas tofu. Similar looking dishes pad see ew w/tofu 2nd beef, special curry rice & pork pad thai! - Thai Near Me - McHenry, Illinois

Had lunch here today...delicious! Pot stickers are deep fried and we prefer boiled and pan fried. Wonderful selection of lunch entrees that you can customize with shrimp, pork, beef, chicken, tofo, or vegetables I had thai fried rice with shrimp. Generous portion with six nice size shrimp. Husband had n8 noodles with peas and pork/wide noodles. Mild with a little spice. Staff helpful and most accommodating. A treasure in McHenry County! read more

Easily the best Thai place around. Fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. I love the drunken spaghetti. Never been disappointed with anything else either. read more

Some of the best Thai food I've had in the Chicagoland area. Cute atmosphere and good service too! Some of my favorites include the tofu pad thai, tofu pad kee mow, and basil chicken. Also, I am hopelessly addicted to their coconut taro bubble teas :) read more

So the four stars is split. I'd give them three, my wife would give them five. They've got some pretty tasty food, I'll admit, but they couldn't do spicy if it killed them and that's a prereq for Thai in my book (and the only reason for a three star instead of a four from me). As far as my wife, she loves the green peas noodle and green peas fried rice. I agree that they are very tasty. Wash them down with a bubble tea and she's happy for the rest of the night. And really, it's McHenry, you can certainly do worse. read more

I love Peapod! The have the most amazing Pad Thai! Great atmosphere and even better food! They have take-out as well which is great for a Friday night in, or a nice night out to eat at the restaurant. read more

Food was cold and not very good but the appetizers were just ok...parking is awful. The wait staff is slow and not very attentive. They have their kids at work there with them. Although they were quite and respectful, I felt sorry for the kids being stuck there. :( I would suggest to go elsewhere read more

Love love Green Pea Pod! Fresh, flavorful authentic Thai cuisine. Any of the curries & Pad Thai are amazing and the Tom Kar soup, well it's delish! My favorite take-out place :-) read more

Love this place always fresh food friendly staff Face book needs to be updated as it says this is permanently closed Too bad it's a drive but we come as much as we can ! read more

Great food but wish they were open on Mondays. Sometimes they close for extended periods of time when you don't expect it. Have always enjoyed every dish I have had. read more

Went there last night for the first time. I ordered a dish with shrimp. It came without shrimp. When I pointed it out to the server she took my plate and once out of eyesight I'm sure she threw my plate. I heard it crash on the floor. Our server never appeared again. There was more going on that I was unaware of, but it was a bizarre experience. No apology or anything. I won't be back! read more

The Green Peapod has amazzzing food and a quant atmosphere. I wish I could give them more stars. I have never had a problem with the service. Definitley a place to put on your bucket list. read more

Took 2 hours for our food and only ordered a few appetizers... food was all completely cold, had sauces spilled over and tofu was very spongy not to mention with tip it was $59.00. I will never order from here again..... read more

Service ok and food decent but not as advertised. Considered it a little pricey also committed to quantity of serving.

McHenry doesn't hold a lot of culinary wonders and a lot of the restaurants are either chains or kind of divey. I was shocked when I walked in to see how pretty this place was. This will be short and sweet: I got take-out tofu pad thai and it was delicious. I will be back and I will eat much, much more. read more

Every dish I have had here has been wonderful. The atmosphere is nice, they have an extensive drink menu, and service is always prompt.

Arrived early Friday evening. There were two other tables seated as we arrived, so not busy. Ordered two "Chef Specials" to go while my friend and I had a drink at the bar. Waited 20 minutes and left with our food to go. We arrived home awaiting a unique Thai meal experience, instead wished we had ordered take out Chinese from our local strip mall. read more

The place looks really nice and the service is good but the food..oh the food was not good..i had yellow currie rice and it was supposedly mild but i coldnt even finish it because it was sooo spicy. read more

When I went to Thailand I craved Green Peapod, friendly staff, local place, delicious food that's usually enough for two meals :)

The last few times I ate there I got sick. A few months ago I ordered the beef lard nar. I asked if it could be made gluten free and they said yes. A few weeks later I went again and ordered beef lard nar again and requested it gluten free. The waitress told me it wasn't gluten free and could not be made gluten free. When I said I had it a few weeks ago the waitress had no comment. read more

Fairly new to the area, and I have been looking for good places to eat. Green Peapod is the best I've found so far in the area especially for asian cuisine. Pad Thai, fried rice, and the green peapod curry are all great read more

So happy we found this place - by accident b/c we were at the brew pub up the street. Food is better than any thai place in the area. Great, interesting desserts too. Friendly staff, fast service. We got the whole fish and the chicken cashew - both were really good. Highly recommend. read more

Nice atmosphere, good service, "clean" tasty food, reasonable price.

The Thai custard dessert is comfort food. Tastes like warm cinnamon bread pudding but with comfort of a warm pudding. I loved every bite. The sampler appetitizer is a pretty good assortment that was enough for 2. I ordered the green apple salad w/cashews - interesting cut green apples looked like ripple cut (uncooked) french fries. It was too tart for me but I have a health issue where my taste buds can't handle tartness or spiciness too much. My husband was fine w/the tartness. I cut the tartness w/dabs of their peanut sauce.... which btw great peanut sauce! Husband had a cup of the Tom Yum soup which was in a small bowl about 2 cup size. No complaints from us! I tried a couple spoons full of the soup & found it not as hot spicy as I expected. Very tasty in fact. But further spoon fulls the taste became spicy hotter as the spice was stirred up from the bottom more. Husband was happy w/hotness but my body can't... even when the spirit is willing. Wait staff friendly enough but a slow at refilling our iced teas. Wait staff could learn more serving attention details as we could've used a spoon for the dip/sauces in the sampler appetizer plate. read more

Food wasn't that great... We had the Teriyaki Salmon, Fried jumbo shrimp, and calamari. I wasn't impressed with anything and no one in our large group said their meal was that great. The service was also horrible... After everyone in our group of nine got our food the waitress came out and said they accidentally made an extra teriyaki salmon if anyone wanted it... Not wanting it to go to waste (and not wanting to pass up free food) I volunteered to take it and we ended up splitting it between the table. When I got the bill, however, the waitress charged me for the extra salmon. I talked to her about it and explained why I would assume it was free because it was an accident on their part. All she would say is "I'm sorry you have to pay for it". I spoke to the manager and she still wouldn't take it off the bill after I explained how that doesn't make sense she was very stubborn and I got really frustrated but didn't make a scene. I'll never be back, working in the food industry for many years now I've grown to know that the customer is always right... Especially in a situation like this. read more

The food may be acceptable but they are just RUDE! Do not mind at all waiting for a seat when they are busy but do not enjoy standing while tables are available because they have children of maybe 6 years old helping to set tables. After being seated we waited forever for our drinks that were not served to us but sat on the bar while our waitress ran around chittering about. She would smile and say they were coming as she ran by but we could see them. Never received our drinks or food and we gave up and left. Again I understand busy but professionalism - this is a restaurant and this is what they do. This was not their first day of business. We were disappointed and after at least an hour of run around with no food, we came home hungry and annoyed. I do not see us going back. read more

If based solely on the food this is a 5 star restaurant. Unfortunately we dined in and had to deal with the owners children running around the restaurant the entire time. Having young children running around and generally being noisy is not the way to attract people to dine in. Great food, bad dining in experience. read more

Nice family owned restaurant that provides a consistent, and very good meal. I travel often and always return to enjoy.

Great food, and Great people. Service was a little slow. But a great find in mchenry...

This is a great Thai restaurant. Prices are affordable, very nice atmosphere, full bar service also ! Thai it you like it !
