Chicago Thai food is usually on point but this meal did not meet the mark. Everything was very bland with minimal to no flavor. We had to add soy sauce and other flavors to pep it up. My spouse said that the broth of his ramen was good but the eggs were not boiled right and they used spaghetti type noodles for the ramen. I requested the pad see eiw medium spicy and I got this little cup of spice and it added no spice to the dish. I'm not sure what was in the crab rangoon but it had no flavor. Major disappointment. read more

My friends decided that Thai sounded good and they picked this place close to the house we met up at. I've passed by Sen Thai a lot but never stopped in. It's a cozy little spot where the staff are very friendly and they serve a pretty standard Thai menu with the addition of Ramen and a couple other non-Thai options. We got seaweed salad, edamame, tiny egg rolls and potstickers for appetizers. These were all very tasty and I especially liked the mini egg rolls which were packed full of flavorful ground chicken. I went with the spicy basil beef for my own dish. I liked that our server asked whether I wanted ground or sliced beef. The slices were tasty and the basil was very flavorful. That being said the sauce was on the saltier side and that seemed to be a common thing for most everyone's mains. I still finished my whole plate and the perfect portion of fragrant white rice that came with it though. My friends who ordered the ramen said it was good but that jt didn't necessarily stand out from other places. My brother got the spicy crazy noodles which looked really tasty even though I'm not a big fan of wide noodles. read more

Had the spicy ramen with fried chicken bites. It was interesting and definitely needy on a snowy day. Also had the steam potstickers, they were delicious. Service was consistent and the food was served quickly. Definitely plan to return at some point this season. read more

This was so good! Was out doing some shopping and stopped in for lunch. I had the cucumber salad, spring rolls and orange chicken. I usually get pad Thai when I'm at a Thai restaurant but it sounded good to me. All of it was fresh and delicious, and came out quick. Prices are good, too. The staff was super friendly as well. I couldn't finish it all so I brought the leftovers home. Very nice experience! read more

This establishment used to be Spoons which we used to frequent a lot and was sad when it closed down. Fast forward, Sen took over and after a few years we finally went on a limb today in Christmad Eve to checked it out. Same setup and menu items were just almost the same. Def new owners though. Price point is justifiable and we were glad we gave this place a chance. Would be interested to come back for the lunch specials. Nice quick fix for Thai craving. read more

9.5/10, Overall, the food was really good and the service was great! We ordered a few things, to start off, We ordered the beef salad and it was so delicious. Beef had great texture & the dish itself was tangy and a little spicy. Overall good dish. There was a whole thing of lettuce on the bottom We ordeeed two drinks: aloe juice & Thai iced tea. Aloe juice was a generic juice with aloe, couldn't drink too much juice due to all the jelly at the bottom. Pretty sure it's the same aloe Vera juice that you can get at any Asian packet in a packet. The Thai tea was super good, super fresh, delicious. I got the duck curry, so so flavorful and such a big portion. The rice portion was a little smaller than what I thought it was gonna be, but overall the dish was prob one of the best ones there. It had a hint of spicy and it all tasted super fresh. Duck was fire! My bf got the lard Nar & he loved the noodles. We thought it was different noodles, but this was delicious too. The gravy was so flavorful & it had great consistency. Good size portion overall. Ambiance was so nice, it was bright in there, we sat by the window with lights. The music in there was calming & it felt relaxing. Overall, amazing experience. Waitress was super sweet and she was so patient with us trying to look through the whole menu. Always have a warm smile! The sweetest.

Other than the dishes i've listed there's plenty more to explore in this cultures cuisines Stop by and show some Love -Kevin read more

Very bad experience ordering. I ordered via Ubereats app and then had a pop up saying price was increased because of special request "larger size". I had made no special request at all. I called the store immediately and was told by the lady she will fix with the delivery person. I told her that would not work but she insisted. Ubereats refused to refund me and I just feel I was fraudulently charged by this restaurant. Will not order again. read more

This place was so delicious!! Their Massaman Chicken Curry was exactly what I wanted, the flavors were so amazing! The star of the show for me was the Mango Sticky Rice, definitely the best ive had in Chicago, it transported me back to the streets of Thailand! Highly recommend both dishes and that you come here next time you are craving some Thai food :-) read more

We tried it for the first time and was impressed with the flavors. The pad Thai was delicious. It was the best I have had in a long time. It was dynamic with the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and savory. The pad see iew was our second favorite. It was also sweet and savory and had enough sauce unlike some other places. The pad soon sen was decent but not as dynamic. Overall portions were a little smaller than the avg Thai place read more

This is the best Thai food in the city! Used to be Spoon Thai but closed and reopened with Ramen. Same people and same amazing Thai food. Duck curry is perfect and enough to feed two people easily. The Tod mun (fish fritter) is wonderful and I've only had it here. They have many Thai dishes on the menu that you don't see elsewhere including many tasty sausages. They used to have a transliterated Thai menu you could get online and bring in. I tried it a few times and had some great dishes that were very, very spicy. Beautiful dinning room with attentive polite service. Their Choo Chee Kung-shrimp in red curry sauce is my favorite dish. Great crab Rangoon--not all cream cheese. Always happy with delivery and take out. A Lincoln Square fixture--great for dinner before a concert at Old Town School. read more

Great friendly service, delicious food at great prices. Loved the spicy ramen, fresh sushi, gyoza and house salad.

This review is written verbatim from what my 8 year old son Joshua experienced..... This was the best ramen place of my life. My sister does not like ramen, but in this ramen shop she does. The noodles were perfect sized. The waitress was nice. It was very peaceful. I recommend you try it. read more

The people working there were super nice but the food did not feel fresh. It felt like my fried food was cooked yesterday then reheated in the microwave :( read more

Sen Thai was tasty and delicious, but when compared to other Thai, it's just not my favorite. My friend and I were in the area on a Sunday afternoon, starving, and our go-to spot was closed. So we popped into Sen Thai. They have a small dining room but nicely designed. For an appetizer, we shared the crab rangoon. It was delicious and in cute crescent shapes. For our entrees, we each got the Kao Soy. I got mine with tofu and my friend got hers with chicken. It was a delicious Kao Soy, don't get me wrong. But it was milder than I expected. And my friend said her chicken just didn't add to the dish like it normally does for her. My tofu worked well and soaked up the flavors, it's just the flavors were milder than I wanted. Overall it's a solid spot but I don't know if I'd go again. Not because it was bad, it's just it wasn't better than my usual spots. They do have the added benefit of being open on Sunday afternoons though. read more

I was excited to see a new place in Lincoln Square- especially a neighborhood Thai restaurant. I've been looking for one to order from that I'd like. I ordered pad wooden and a side of crab rangoons. It took about 15 minutes to be ready and was bagged and ready when I got there. The space was quaint inside. Overall, the food was good. It will likely be back to try other items. read more

Absolutely loved this place. Very warm and cute inside, and the service was fast and friendly. We shared the Sai Oua sausages as an appetizer and it was super flavorful and delicious, plus totally new to us. Our entrees were also amazing. I got the Thai Noodle soup (tangy, savory, meaty) and my partner got the Kao Soy (sweet, creamy, comforting). Both were fantastic and again so flavorful. I have been to many of the Thai restaurants in the neighborhood and this one ranks in the top 3 for sure. I would also say this is one of the more affordable spots in the neighborhood especially considering the quality. read more

Our first visit. We will definitely visit again. Generous portions, served hot. Fresh and fast. I had the tempura appetizer and green curry. Green curry is one of my favorites and it's the standard that I judge all Thai restaurants by. They didn't disappoint. It was delicious. My husband had wonton soup which was very good. We plan to go back because it was a very large menu and there are a lot of things we want to try on our next visit. The people were very friendly and kind. read more

First time going here and ordered the Lard Nar, and really loved the gravy sauce on the dish. Although I wish the noodles were a bit more crispy, I will come back to try the other dishes! My friend got the khao soi and really enjoyed it! Glad to welcome a small business to the Lincoln Square neighborhood! Staff was very friendly and sweet. read more

I am very disappointed with the chicken ramen. I should have known that "fried chicken ramen" may not have an authentic taste. The flavor is bland. Could have used more garlic, green onions,etc. I make a very good recipe that combines ingredients from various ramen dishes I've tried at restaurants and it is much better than this. Hopefully the rest of their menu is good but this is a thumbs down for me. read more

very cozy and pleasant! delicious food and wonderful staff. we particularly enjoyed the ramen

The chicken pad Thai is a great GoTo when trying out new Thai places. It was lovely at this place. We ordered it spicy and it did not disappoint. Noodles were so good chicken was good. I'm very critical when it comes to Thai food because I cook authentic Thai food. And my buddy and I both loved it. Delivery was quick the price reasonable. Awesome place check it out!!! read more

Delicious and authentic Thai food! Great service. We had the Spicy Basil Leaves, ordered HOT, and it was perfect. Liked it so much I got a to-go order to take home to my husband, and his order included chicken satay and cucumber salad. All extremely delicious and just what you'd expect. The service was very friendly and everything easy to do. I highly recommend! read more

Very happy with the food and the service. Everyone had different favorite dishes. Personally, I liked the pad woonsen the best, but my wife liked the duck curry - which I also found delicious. The kids preferred the chicken Thai basil fried rice. The nice lady also made us an off menu Pri Khing that everyone also enjoyed tremendously. At the end of the night, every plate was practically licked clean. read more

The manager was so welcoming and kind. Food was fresh, fast, and tasty. We loved the quiet, clean atmosphere.

Very cool and clean establishment, delicious Thai food and excellent romance, top-notch service, affordable prices and pleasant staff

Best Thai food in the area! The Khao soi, pad thai, and panang curry were amazing. The service is also top-tier.

Had dinner there yesterday with two friends and we were all very impressed with the food, the service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. We each ordered a different entree (sweet & sour mango chicken, cashew chicken and mixed vegetables with chicken). Kudos all around. There are several Thai restaurants in that area, but I'll be going back to this one. And, it's BYOB! read more

We were excited to try this new addition to the Lincoln Square restaurant scene and were not disappointed. Noodle soup, Shrimp shumai, and Basil Chicken were all delicious. The service was very friendly and well-informed. We ordered conservatively and will return to try some of the items on the Thai menu . read more
