This was delicious! We walked in on a Friday evening and it was busy but we were able to sit right away. We for the sampler platter appetizer and everything was delicious! The pad Thai, fried rice and curry were all amazing! read more

Quality dropped a little. Overall okay. Used to be like: "Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo surprised to find a GREAT restaurant in St Charles where everyone's taste buds are old and geriatric, or just plain bad. It's hard to find good food in the suburbs. This place has THE BEST chicken pad thai I've ever had and everything they else they do so far is pretty well above average. Great tom yum soup, spring rolls, and specialty foods. This place is a gem amongst rocks that could be kicked AKA typical surburban restaurants with inflated reviews of locals who don't get out much." 3/6/23 read more

We used to go here when it was Vino Thai. Located in a strip center near Target in St.Charles. We ordered online for pickup and the app was easy to use but totally miscalculated the pickup time. Gave us a 30 minute window and order was ready in less than 10 minutes which was annoying since we live at least 10 minutes away! The food tho was good. Freshly made and good portions. We tried the Avocado Spring Roll GF but it was lacking in flavor. I alwats go with the Pad See-Lew which was loaded with chicken but not much broccoli. Medium heat was all I could handle as far as spice level. My wife had the GF Gardeners Noodle which was one of the House specialty's. She loved it. Prices are slightly higher than other Thai places I have tried but food is solid and fresh. read more

We were very excited to try this restaurant for the first time. The service was great, but the food was terrible. The crab rangoon was very good, but kind of small. The chicken egg rolls didn't have any chicken in them and were over fried. I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken. The chicken was very dry and the rice had no favor. My husband ordered the Sweet and Sour chicken. His chicken was also very dry, and the sweet and sour sauce was just sour. Save your money and go somewhere else. It will be interesting if they respond to this review! read more

A group of three of us dined in on a Saturday evening. We came in around 545 and it was pretty busy. We didn't wait too long to be seated - which was deceiving for the rest of our experience. We ordered a couple of apps, thai teas and entrees. The apps were forgettable with not a lot of flavor. The ratio of tea to cream left my friend disappointed. Overall the entrees were much better but flagging our waitstaff to order and for water refills was tiresome. There appeared to be one person taking orders and one person bussing. This was insufficient for a busy evening and we recognize that this happens but it didn't appear that this wasn't the norm based on the waitresses behavior. All in all this establishment may be better suited for a take out order when I'm visiting friends in the area vs dining in. read more

We have been coming here for dinner for several years. It is always excellent! One of the things I love is they have dishes you don't necessarily find at other Thai restaurants. This time I had Mus Su Mun Curry and it was great! I wasn't familiar with the dish. It was a wonderful curry that was both a bit sweet and spicy (heat). I added shrimp and scallops to mine. The staff are very helpful with the menu. And the food is always timely. If you are going for dinner, especially on the weekend, I would make reservations. They can get quite busy and the restaurant is not that big. They do have a full bar if you do have to wait. read more

Maly Thai - Mus su mun Curry. This was so good. A little bit of heat and a little bit of sweet. I added scallops to it. Delicious! - Thai Near Me - Saint Charles, Illinois

I'd love to give this place five stars, but unfortunately the quality of both the food and service has declined since the original owners sold it. I'm open to giving it another try to see if it's improved and worth recommending again. read more

Drunken noodles were very good. Service was good Pad see-iew was delicious, the shrimp and broccoli were cooked well and not too chewy! The portions are also very generous and I have a delicious leftover. Staff was also really friendly! read more

I ordered the chicken pad Thai. The service was great and the food tasted very good and fresh. Would definitely recommend.

I've been going to this restaurant for years - with its previous owners/name - and still love it. Great for dates and equally fine to dine alone. They seem to do a lot with takeout (though I've never done that). Food is great, servers are friendly. They customize dishes without complaint. Lots of free parking. A great gem in a sea of chain restaurants in the area. read more

Was very glad to find this restaurant. We were dining with friends that need to eat vegetarian and gluten free (I know, right!?!?) and there were many options for them. I enjoyed a hot red curry, which I would order extra hot next time. My lovely wife ordered pad Thai which she deemed average. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. The lunch prices were very fair and included a nice light soup and choice of appetizer. I'd go back, but I wouldn't go far out of my way to do so. read more

Maly Thai AKA Vino's Thai under a new name. The poster on the window says it's the same staff and cook but my grandma's swears it tastes different. I hadn't been under the old name so I have nothing to compare it to. We came during lunch. They have a $12 lunch special that comes with an entree, soup & appetizer. I chose the spring roll and the chicken cashew nut. The spring roll was AMAZING! The chicken cashew nut was also good but nothing to rave about. Overall, a very good lunch deal. Service was good. There was a mom and her daughter sitting next to us and they were VERY unpleasant and difficult customers. The staff handled them well so I wanted to give them a special shoutout. read more

So sorry to do this, but like I mentioned on my updated review for Thai First, Maly is another one of those westernized Thai restaurants that does not represent truly authentic Thai cuisine. I have come to this realization after eating at various other Thai restaurants around Chicago, such as Eat Fine By Khun Kung and Kanlaya. read more

This was my first time having Pad Thai Chicken at Maly Thai. The service was 10 stars I was seated by a lovely gentleman and he said I could sit anywhere. I was going to do pick up, but the place was so cozy, I decided to dine in!!! I had the lunch special!! So glad I did, since you get the love broth soup with noodles and fresh scallions. So delish!!! Then he brought out my FREE appetizer of choice!! I could have egg rolls, spring rolls, salad. I chose egg rolls, they were super fresh & delish!! I got 2, I was shocked. Saved 1 to go home!! Then the star dish came out!! My pad Thai chicken, so delish!! A very generous helping. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is because the sauce is a little too sweet for me. However, it is still delish. I like things a little spicy and ordered mine medium and didn't feel any heat. However, they had an awesome hot oil & crushed red pepper sauce. I would order it hot next time. If you are thinking of trying! Heck YES!! Find your dish!! read more

Excellent experience. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Ambiance of the restaurant was surprisingly lovey. It presents as a "nicer" restaurant than its prices suggest. If we lived in the area we would make it one of our "destination choices." read more

I usually always come here for Thai food as it was our go to place. Typically we take out but this time we dined in a loved it! We got the drunken noodles and pad Thai. We also ordered avocado rolls and Thai iced tea. The food was amazing, but the Thai iced tea was a bit too sweet. The service and ambience were really good as we were served promptly. Overall, I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area! read more

We love this place. Always fresh, very good! The service is always good as well. We go here as often as we can.

Positive: Food are really very good. Good atmosphere and waiter are helpful & friendly Negative: I feel that the salmon serving is not enough. Not enough bathroom read more

I got the drunken noodle and was utterly dissapointed to find nothing but ground chicken in it. Ground chicken should not be anywhere near a professional kitchen much less asian cuisine. The food was extremely dissapointing for the 14$ price especially since my girlfriend got a cheaper fried rice that had delicious cut chicken breast while i literally had to avoid getting disgusting ground chicken meat from getting in my mouth when eating my entree. Please get ground chicken out of your kitchen, it should not be there to begin with. read more

Have you ever eaten something so bad you're mad at yourself days later for eating it? That's how I feel about my tofu pad Thai from this place. I got stuck in this strip mall waiting for my car to be repaired and decided to pop in here for lunch. Service was good and attentive. Food was very very bad. read more

Soooo fresh and delicious! Super flavorful, generous portions, prices are fair as well!

This is my go-to, I-need-the-comfort-of-Thai-food-like-my-childhood when I don't want to cook it myself. My husband loves it. My kids love it. The food is "authentic"--it's true to what I know growing up visiting Thailand and eating Thai home cooking with my relatives). It's fantastic, fresh, freaking deliciously flavorful--everything you hope Thai would be. Our favorites are the fish cakes (tod mun pla), tom kha gai soup, basil chicken (pad krapao), pad thai, and khao soi curry noodles. Gahhh I want it now! But everything we've had is good! People who work there are friendly and restaurant is nice inside, standard Thai restaurant decor. I'm happy to pay for it because I know it takes a lot of rare ingredients plus time and skill to make these wonderful dishes. Best Thai around. Seriously. read more

Excellent Thai food! Always fresh! I recommend the beef Thai salad, spicy glass noodles with shrimp, satay chicken appetizer and grilled salmon with crunchy basil! read more

We love Thai food and have tried many many Thai restaurants all over chicago. This is our favorite out of all of them. Curry, fried rice, and pad Thai are our go to orders and we love them all. We usually order out, but eating in is fine too. It's just a little small in there so finding a table might be tough on a busy night. read more

We went for about our third visit under this owner. Recommend. Food delicious and hot. We asked that our entrees be put in the middle of the table and that we be given additional plates so we could share. This was cheerfully done and we had a great meal. M, Geneva IL read more

Our fave Thai! -- everything is fresh and light, sauces are not goopy, overly thick or too salty.

I have no idea how I have gone this long without leaving a review. This is THE BEST thai food (and possibly asian food) place around. The food is masterfully cooked and flavored. You can not go wrong with red-curry anything. My personal favorite is the 'Red Sea'. When you dine in, the space and staff are wonderful and the food comes out looking like it's fresh out of a food magazine. This is seriously a great place to take a date. Amazing food with flavor and flair, great atmosphere and presentation, and on average the cost is $12-14 per person. Oh and one more thing. Order the Tom-kha soup, with extra veggies. It will not disappoint. read more

Go elsewhere for Thai food. Ive worked with master Thai chefs (& had their food)and this food is not very authentic. Maly omits ingredients probably to cut costs and the result is bland food devoid of the depth of flavors that are the hallmark of Thai food. Portions are very small for the price. read more

This spot serves some of the best Thai food! First visit was good and food was piping hot, just the way I like it. Had a hankering for some noodles.

This is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. The food is just delicious, beer is fresh cold with cold glasses. The service is amazing with beautiful and very polite servers that want to make sure every need is met. And yes it's met. Thank you all. We worked here in Chicago for 6 months on and off and the server still remembered us after a month went by and remembered what we ordered and what drinks we all got. That's good service.

Two words: drunken noodles. Vino has some of the best food I've ever had, and I still find myself dreaming about their drunken noodles (chicken with a side of chili garlic oil, if you want to try it how I like it). There generally is a bit of a wait for togo orders, but please don't let that deter your from trying out some of the best food in the suburbs you will ever have. read more

I have been a fan of the Vinotai's cooking way back when they were in Hoffman Estates (and owned Taste of Thai). The food here at VinoThai is always delicious, consistently plentiful and the service is very friendly and helpful if you want to customize a dish. My favorites are the Pad Siew with shrimp or chicken, Papaya salad is so crisp, fresh and light and my parents love the whole red snapper prepared with a light sauce and vegetables. I love to get a Thai Iced Coffee too if I am coming to pick up an order to go. There's also a pretty decent variety of cocktails you can order. The dining room is not huge so there can be a wait if it's busy on the weekends and especially if there is a large group here. However, it is worth the wait for the fine food and service VinoThai delivers. read more

As we eat our way through town of Saint Charles, Illinois, we have found a favorite Thai restaurant, Maly Thai. The dining room was almost full at 5 o'clock on a Sunday which we took as a good sign, and we were right. Despite the busy dining room, the service was excellent. We were promptly greeted, placed our order and checked on multiple times. The menu had so many options, it took us a while to read through it all. We selected the Pad Thai with chicken, the Five Star Noodles with shrimp, the Spicy Glass Noodles with shrimp, the Pad Woon Sen with tofu, and an appetizer of Spring Rolls. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. The portion size was very generous, enough to take home for a second meal for each of us. And they also had the finishing touch of fortune cookies which ended our meal with dreams of good fortune, and laughter, The restaurant was tastefully, decorated, very well-kept and clean. We definitely recommend this restaurant, and will definitely return! read more

This Thai Food is so good. I have came from Los Angeles, California. I have tried lots of thai food, but this restaurant was best of best so fur. Server was very nice.
