We stopped here on a random adventure, and we will definitely be back! The duck curry and garlic chicken were very flavorful. This was the first time I'd seen grapes in a curry, but it worked! The larb was also a great starter. Mangoes are out of season, so we couldn't get the mango sticky rice, but the banana in a blanket was a really nice substitute. Portion sizes let us get an app, a main, and a dessert without being miserable. The ambiance was really low key, and pretty quiet (it is a Tuesday night). The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I will absolutely add this place to my list of go-to restaurants in town. read more

I've been going to TAC Quick for many years. It's my favorite go-to Thai restaurant. The food is incredible. Everyone I have brought has loved it. The prices are reasonable. And the space feels relaxed. It's typically not too crowded. So it's easy to get a seat and have a conversation. The only thing I wish they'd fix is the temperature. It's been cold, every time I've been over the years. For those going, it's hard to go wrong on the menu and there's a lot I've never had. Regardless my top 3 entrees are... #1 is the curry catfish (aka Pad Ped Pla Duk). It's mind blowing. I found it a few months ago. It'll be hard to get myself to order something different now. #2 is the duck curry. There was a few year stretch where it was the only thing I ordered. #3 is the Kaeng keow waan kai jeaw (eggplant, green curry, over omelette , meat selection). My original favorite from the early years of me going. read more

Very disappointing coming here on Saturday night. First They messed up my order and then the pad Thai was awful. It lacked sauce/flavor, and the noodles were overcooked. They messed up my order by giving me a different dish. I ordered larb moo krab, but gave my crispy pork salad instead . I admit it was good, but it's not what I order. Due to this experience I will not be going back read more

Came for dinner with a friend. Ordered the duck curry for my entree. I only eat duck a few times throughout the year. This duck was amazing! It was succulent, savory. It came in a broth/ soup that was spicy but not overwhelming. There was some vegetables and pineapple in it. Came with rice. Got a cucumber Martini that was ok. read more

Came to this spot for a quick Thai food fix and was happy to find their lunch special. The Pad Thai was good--not a standout, but no complaints at that price point, especially with a side included ($8.95). My husband's drunken noodles were very flavorful, and I also enjoyed the sai krog Isaan, which was an excellent side dish. I didn't order a drink, but I noticed they had a surprisingly extensive cocktail menu with some good deals. The interior was also really cool, with a lot of Thai film influence. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in the Wrigleyville area looking for decently priced Thai food. read more

Walked here from our place on a Sunday evening- Cubs had played an afternoon game and we didn't want to have to drive anywhere in the area. Pleasantly surprised that there were many tables open and we could pick our spot. Inside is pretty and honestly much nicer than I expected! There's a large cocktail menu- I ordered a MaiTai and husband ordered a wrong island iced tea (get it ?;). Both were really tasty and quite strong. Shared eggrolls for the app- good but not great- a bit greasy. I ordered pad Thai with pork and it was delicious. Husband ordered panang noodles and it was good- but know that it is long on red and green peppers. Portions are adequate but not huge. Service was very good. We will return and try some other choices. read more

Very cool interior of the restaurant with a lot of Thai movie posters and artwork. The workers were very friendly and came to check on us very often which is always appreciated. After traveling to Thailand last year we were looking for our favorite dish that we tried which was Khao soi. We were very pleased that the khao soi and Thai iced tea were both very good! The green tea cheesecake was good, but kind of felt like a frozen and defrosted cake, so I would probably pass on that. I will definitely be returning for more Khao soi in the future! read more

Tac Quick is a solid go to whenever I'm craving Thai food. I've only ordered takeout from Tac Quick so I cannot comment too much on the inside vibes. The food is also delicious and constantly delicious. I normally order the pad see eww because you cannot go wrong with that dish. I highly recommend ordering from Tac Quick because you get a lot of bang for your buck! I always get a lot of meals from my order. read more

Oh boy what do I have to say about this place...it's fantastic! It has a big menu but what surprised me about TacQuick is that everything I've had has been delicious. Sometimes Thai soups can be a little too greasy, and that's not the case here. The Pad Thai is one of our favorites. Take out is good but dining in is our choice. The staff is friendly and the place is clean and cute. We absolutely love the Thai movie posters read more

oh how I LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEDDDD the prikking crispy pork dish here!! my mind was blown with how incredibly crispy the pork remained even after being doused with great wet sauce on top oh my god. even when it got cold it was still INCREDIBLY crispy. i would bring my family here just for that dish but idk if my moms teeth could handle that tbh. chicken satay is not the best i ever had maybe ranked a bit lower than others. duck curry was good i loved the sauce! thai tea was strong loved it. but i will never forget the crispy pork thank you! also, beautiful setting i am surprised that it was not packed. read more

I placed a takeout order from their website, so I really had no interaction with any of the staff members other than when I arrived to pick up my food. We ordered the usual, Chicken Satay, Pad See Ew for my wife and Pad Khee Mao for me. I've definitely had better Chicken Satay. The chicken was ok, but the salad it came with was not food and the peanut sauce to dip the chicken satay was not good at all. Way too watery and no flavor. I'm prefer my sauce thick so when you dip the chicken in, it sticks. The Pad See Ew came with chicken, stir fried noodles, broccoli, Chinese broccoli, egg and sweet soy sauce. I had a few bites and it was very delicious. My Pad Khee Mao was very tasty. I always ask for it extra spicy and it's a hit or miss. Not from here. It was indeed spicy. The Pad Khee Mao came with the same stir fried noodles, beef, brown sauce, basil, bean sprouts, and onions. Definitely a very filling dish and would order it again. read more

From beginning to end the food was delicious! We started off with the veggie potstickers, I've never had potstickers with this consistency and creaminess inside! And just skillful preparation made that happen! I had the Penang noodle dish with crispy fat noodles, chicken and shrimp; it was very well done and so flavorful! I wanted to try a dish I don't usually get, and this did not disappoint! My friend got the duck curry and eat mouthful was met with another "Mm!!" We even got dessert,tiramisu, which was also yummy! The ambiance of the restaurant is unique with old movie posters all around. My only complaint was the music was a bit too loud and it was very Taylor Swift and Backstreet Boys-ish. The service was swift and we weren't kept waiting for anything. read more

Tac Quick - Pot Stickers - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tac Quick is a very versatile restaurant because it's a great place for a good lunch special, dinner, or some fun cocktails! I don't have great pictures of the food because I got takeout this time, but their food comes out so fast, is often big portions, and is full of flavor. My go to order is the peanut curry noodle soup with tofu. It's a bit sweet and savory, and would be even better with a little kick of spice. This is a great restaurant for vegetarians because with most dishes, you can substitute the meat with tofu. Tac Quick has surprisingly good martinis. They have fun and unique flavors - Thai tea or lychee or sake. And they are strong! In the summer when their windows are open or the patio seating is available, it's a great place to grab a drink after work. The restaurant has a lot of seating and unless you have a really big group, you can usually get a table without a reservation. The restaurant is a two minute walk from the Sheridan red line or there is street parking on Irving. This is a good option if you need dinner after a Cubs game and want to get away from the craziness of Wrigley! read more

Went here on Thursday night after Wrigleyville Chriskindlemarket. The service was fast. Food was excellent. Prices were great. I had the Basil Shrimp , with Jasmine rice. The shrimp were on the small side but succulent. The vegetables were ultra fresh. The dish was well seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Nice portion but no leftovers. I did not have a drink but looks like a well stocked bar. Full wine racks to the side. There was a couple at the bar upon entry and still there when I departed I did visit the ladies restroom. Nice artwork and for the most part clean with cleaning supplies in sight if you need to tidy up. I would like to visit here again to try their drinks and that private menu. read more

A Thai restaurant located just north of Wrigley Field a few blocks. It's a good option to go before/after games that isn't super crowded like every place on Clark. It still has a full bar, and a decent craft beer list, and quality Thai food that isn't too expensive. So you can eat/drink before/after a game and not have to worry about long wait times and lines. It's what I've done twice now and its worked out well. It's located just under the Sheridan red line stop, and there's plenty of parking along Irving Park. I'm not too familiar on the exact dish names, but I've gotten several appetizer dishes and enjoyed all of them. A good addition, and change of pace, to the Wrigley area. read more

I've driven by this place multiple times and could never quite make out what kind of restaurant it was... but it always looked like a fun place. Finally walked over and checked it out. I love Thai food and Tac Quick did not disappoint. I started with the lychee martini and it was pretty good... a little sweeter than I prefer but that didn't stop me from gulping it down. My mother had an appletini and was quite happy with how it tasted (she's picky about her appletinis, too!). My mother ordered the chicken satay and cucumber salad, and confirmed that both were excellent. I had the pad see ew, which was also excellent. The noodles practically melted in my mouth. I don't love when the broccoli is so large I can't easily eat it in one bite, and I had to cut it with a knife to keep it manageable. Still delicious. We also ordered pot stickers, which did not look at all like a pot sticker I've ever seen. It did not taste anything like a pot sticker I've ever tasted. Whatever it was, though, I thought it was delicious and we ate them all! read more

Great tasting lunch specials at a fantastic price. Had lunch before a Cubs game and was impressed so we came back after the game for cocktails, appetizers, and dessert. Atmosphere is quirky yet super comfortable. This place has a unique vibe that makes you feel at home. The staff are very friendly and attentive, our water glass was never empty. Tac Quick has a fantastic bar menu with a great selection of cocktails. The food is very good with subtle differences from other Thai restaurants making it unique. Tac Quick is a great place to go for food and drinks, restaurants like this are what makes Chicago's food game so special. read more

This is our first visit and the food was overall good. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend the Pad Thai. The beef was good but very small portions for the price. The spring rolls were tasty but had too much cabbage. We will certainly give this another try soon. read more

Love this place! Has great food, and we actually ordered catering from here for our engagement party last year (we got engaged in Thailand so there was a theme). One thing I'd recommend is changing the delivery container for the calamari. I love the calamari here, but it literally is melting the styrofoam container that is a little unsettling to think about eating (see picture). Either they need to cool the calamari before putting it in from straight from the fryer, or change the packaging. read more

We came back with our 3 month old daughter on a Thursday evening and she did great! They allow strollers at the table and have a changing table in the women's restroom (not the men's). We enjoyed everything we ordered (spring rolls, Chinese broccoli, pad Thai, drink) and will be back! read more

Always great! Good food and good prices. Thanks for the consistent service and good to dishes.

I live within walking distance and have dined in and ordered delivery and take out on multiple occasions. This restaurant is always quick and consistent. My go to is the pad see ew. Over the years I've tried the pad thai, fried chicken appetizer, chicken satay, spicy basil rolls, curries. Dining in is always a pleasant experience as the service is super friendly. read more

The Green Curry was noted as spicy, but was extremely mild and bland. My friend ordered a duck dish and it was overly salty. They did not have club soda, sparkling water or seltzer, even though they claim to have a full bar. It was chilly inside and ceiling fans were on. Staff did not turn them off, even after we requested. read more

Great ambiance, service, and food. Ordered the lettuce wrap and yum woon sen talay. Would highly recommend both.

The food is terrific! I love the kid trays, excellent for toddlers and young children. I had some excellent crab ragoons and pork panang curry read more

First time to this restaurant. We tried the khao soy as well as the Chinese broccoli with pork. We asked the server at what level to order spice. We also asked if they had Thai spice. She said they did. We ended up ordering medium. Unfortunately the food came out less than mild. The Chinese broccoli and pork was a little spicier than the khao soy. I'd order the Khao soy but would not order the Chinese broccoli. Pork overcooked and dried. Ordered wine as well as beer. Beer was good. Wine was average. Overall will come back for the Khao soy nothing else. read more

We have lived in the neighborhood for 30+ years and started going to Tac Quick when they first opened on Sheridan. The food was always good. They moved to their current location on Irving Park Road about five years ago (more or less), and in my opinion, their food quality has dipped considerably since then. Tonight, I just wanted something quick for dinner and decided to order delivery from Tac Quick. I did not ask my husband about it...I just ordered our dinner. The food arrived much faster than promised and was well-packed and in order when it arrived. When my husband saw where the food was from, he reminded me that the last time we had ordered from Tac Quick (that may have been over two years ago), we said "never again." I had forgotten about that! And tonight's meal did nothing to change our minds. Just a simple order...Spring Rolls, Pad Thai and Panang Curry. The Spring Rolls were okay...but nothing great...they were loosely rolled and almost falling apart. Both the Pad Thai and Panang Curry had an off-flavor...like the water used was not fresh. Although the food was delivered quickly, the Pad Thai noodles were dry and stuck together. In addition to the off flavor, the Panang Curry portion was tiny. Nothing was tasted like good Thai food should taste. Although we love to support neighborhood businesses, it tough to do when the food doesn't taste good. Now I just need to remember..."never again!" read more

Food is great, service is even better, and the ambiance is very comfortable. Rin and Zand are always happy to see us, and provide everything we desire with food, drinks, and excellent hospitality. Definitely a quality place to come visit. read more

Love this little Thai spot - the drinks are well priced (although the beer list is pretty limited) and the pad see ew is one of my favorites! Tac Quick definitely has a classic bar feel with exposed brick and a couple of TVs, but wouldn't be a place to come for games. However, the ambiance is nice and it's really conveniently located next to the Sheridan train stop. read more

Tac Quick - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of the best Thai places I've been to! We started off with the Moo Ping ( a grilled pork skewer appetizer) and the sai krog isaan (a delicious pork sausage). Both had a rich smoky flavor and were interesting to try. I'd definitely recommend them if you haven't had it before! For our entrees, I enjoyed the duck curry and basil duck the most. The basil duck was a stir fry in a sweet sauce, but definitely had a mildly spicy kick to it. The duck curry has your typical red curry sauce-- delicious... but also came with some summery fruits: pineapples and grapes. I'm not a huge fan of cooked fruit, but if you like that, I would try the duck curry. The basil pork belly had a very similar flavor profile to the basil duck but it was definitely overcooked. We also thought the Thai iced coffee and tea were way too sweet, but it was more bearable after all the ice melted and diluted the sugar. The flavors were there though, so maybe try asking for half sugar. Overall, a great Thai place! The secret menu items are where it's at. read more

Tac quick is definitely becoming a staple go to for some yummy Thai food. The patio was great to sit out in and the servers were sweet and quick with their service.

We only paid $25 each for our dinner including an appetizer which wasn't too shabbyoverall! read more

Excellent meal!! Once again a trip to Chicago isn't complete until we order from Tac Quick. We tried several new dishes this time and some new favorites were found. Panang curry chicken and Chinese broccoli are solid favorites and ones we can always count on to order and enjoy. The next 3 dishes Kuay teaw ped, Yum woon Sen talay, and Kao tom pla turned out to be a few new favorites. The Kao tom pla was a flavorful soup and will certainly be ordered again and we will probably try it with shrimp the next time. I had the Yum woon Sen talay and enjoyed it, but would try something more flavorful next time. I was looking for bolder flavors and more seafood to balance out the noodles. This place never disappoints us! read more

Used to be so much better. Flavor/seasoning lacking big time. Feels like they don't even taste their own food. Barely sustenance. Will do in a pinch. read more

What happened to this place? A number of years ago it was a Bib Gourmand restaurant and tonight my pad thai was barely edible. The chicken was overcooked, the noodles were undercooked (actually crunchy), and it was all tasteless. I'm hoping it was just an off night because this place has been my go-to spot for years. read more

Nope. Not it. Came here to eat with my friend in the summer time. And I was expecting it to be very good because my friend raved about it. She told me they are known for traditional Thai cuisine. Well, that may be true but our experience was not stellar. First, customer service is good. Our server was very friendly and was happy to offer suggestions. That's cool. I ordered their lard na, and tiger cry. The tiger cry was fantastic. Very flavorful and meat was very tender. My lard na was awful. Bland and blah, soupy broccoli, and chunky gravy. Not to mention, all of our food was served on paper plates. Paper plates?!!!!!! For an eat in restaurant?! And it was half the portion size, yet they have the nerve to charge full prices. They also were very stingy on napkins. Never again. Too many good Thai places to give them another shoot. Avoid. read more

I'm currently sitting in the restaurant now. Had a taste for Garlic noodles (a friend was visiting Oakland on social media and triggered my craving) I love Garlic Noodles and I think San Fran/ Oakland has the best...after visiting Tac Quick I was not disappointed...the crab Rangoon was delicious...the egg rolls were average but overall this is going to become my spot! read more
