We came here for Sunday lunch with the family and had a great experience from start to finish. Jessica was our server and she was amazing!! Great personality, spot-on service and just made the whole visit wonderful. I had the spicy fried rice with tofu, Mom ordered the noodle soup with Katsu chicken, and Dad went appetizer style for dinner with the potstickers and the Thai D platter. The boys had pad see ewe and panang curry. Everything was fresh, hot, and came out quickly. We were seated just before noon (a great time to come on Sunday, because by 12:30-1:00 it was really filling up) and got a perfect table. If you're not sure what to get your first time here, consider ordering a few appetizers as your main. You'll get to try different things, and the portions are generous. My dad couldn't even finish all of his. The restaurant has a great vibe and is very inviting and cozy. This would be a great spot for a date. read more

Wanting to try something new, I ordered (delivery) from Thai-D. I got the FR2 Fried Rice with beef, mushrooms, onions, assorted veggies, and also ordered (mini) egg rolls. My mistake! Rice was clumpy whereas I had no fear of dropping a single grain from my utensil. Worse, it had a fishy taste to it, which apparently the cook had used the oil to make fish prior to cooking my rice. Yuck! Egg rolls were not much better, being very greasy. I ate about a third of my meal, and decided that was enough. Very Thai-Disappointing, to say the least. Not worth the chance of getting a fish flavored meal. Find another Asian restaurant to order from. Not recommended at all. read more

I have been coming here for several years. Fun place with neat decor great food and friendly service. I believe the same young lady has waited on my most of my vista from the first time. The shrimp pad Thai is awesome as always. Tonight I felt risqué and went for medium spice and it was delicious. Of course I also had to have a delicious Thai Tea. All good. Great service and great food keep me coming back. read more

Food was super good. Their yellow curry sauce was really delicious. Overall experience was great.

This place is pretty darn good for a little ol city! I would come back for sure. If you like Asian spicy, definitely go more than a 7/10. American spicy, settle for a 5-7 haha I loved my dish but I wish it was more spicy because I got a 7. Service was great!! They seated us quickly. The place was pretty packed. The place is definitely family friendly. read more

Great service and the food is fantastic! Seafood was cooked to perfection and heat level was just perfect.

This place is one of my absolute go-to restaurants in Marion! Went new people visiting when we want to "show off" our local food scene. I go pretty much once a week at least and it never disappoints. Food is consistently delicious. Good size portions. My favorites are the potstickers, golden fried shrimp, pad kee mao, the curry's are wonderful too! And the service is fantastic. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant of all time! We always make a stop here when we are coming through town. The service is always great and the food is our favorite. read more

Thai-D - FR3 Spicy Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Marion, Illinois

In town for our niece's graduation and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I've eaten here several times, but not in a couple of years. I like the other Thai place better but they've let me down the last couple of times. Thai D closes briefly at 2:30 to get ready for dinner and we arrived around 2 so we didn't expect it to be as busy as it was. When we walked in the host asked "table for one?" I looked at my wife to make sure she wasn't invisible. Sure enough, she was there. I told him two and we were promptly seated. The server came over almost immediately and took our drink order. They offer complimentary iced tea which is nice. Wife chose that but I'm caffeine sensitive so I opted for plain 'ol boring ice water. She brought me a tea anyway. No water. Thanks. Wife had the Chicken Pad Thai and I ordered the usual yellow coconut curry Chicken medium spice. I stick with what works. We also ordered pork potstickers because it was a long drive and we were starving. Potstickers came out in short order but weren't really what we expected as they were wrapped in flour and fried. Tasted more like a chicken pot pie crust. They were just okay. Our food came out shortly after and my dish looked great. Wife's dish didn't look as spectacular. There was no color. It was just brown. My dish was very flavorful, but they gave me around 4.5 pieces of chicken. This did not sit well as the price tag was $11 for this dish. I could have bought a Kevin's meal with four times the amount of chicken and same flavor for only $8. I know we're all suffering from Bidenflation but come on. Also, the potatoes were undercooked. I tried a bite of the pad Thai and the chicken tasted like it was nuked from the night before. Yuck. All in all, this would have gotten a higher rating if they didn't skimp on the protein. Do better, Thai D. read more

Clean, good service, spring rolls are super good. The chicken was just not good. I wanted to be blown away but it tasted like bland boiled chicken. So I'm not sure if I'd get the sweet and sour chicken again. I'd come back for the rolls though! read more

Can't believe this place is in southern Illinois! What a gem. Really enjoyed the summer rolls and the pad Thai. Thai tea was also super good. read more

For locals this may be a good place but I can assure you this is not as advertised whatsoever. The place has appealing decor but Food is mediocre at best. Service was ok, no complaints. First of all, crab rangoons have no crab, just cream cheese. I thought maybe im wrong and don't see any because they used real crab haha. But server confirmed that they "use" imitation crab. That's hard to miss. Gyoza were just like the frozen kind you buy at the store. So were the egg rolls. Pad Thai had a strange after taste, acidic sauce and dry pieces of bland chicken. Chicken fried rice was ok. Usually I take unfinished food to go but it was honestly not worth it. There is zero authenticity at this restaurant. Luckily we are not local, so we easily won't come back. read more

I spent $16 and I am FULL. Also the owner helped with the cave rescue in Thailand which is dope. It's a really nice atmosphere inside as well. read more

The chicken pad Thai was 5/5! This restaurant was awesome and delicious! Service was phenomenal and the meals were 5 stars no doubt!! If I'm back in the area I will definitely come back here again! read more

This place is pretty rough despite all the positive looking reviews. The inside is spectacular and looks very clean and generally nice. It is a comfortable atmosphere with lots of people enjoying the lunch specials. We were seated quickly and only handed the lunch specials menu. The little sweet chili sauce dispenser at the table was dirty as can be and made of glass, which had chipped at the spout. I can't imagine staff has not noticed the broken glass bottles, but that's careless. We ordered the crab rangoon, fried rice, and pad thai. The rangoons were pretty nice. The pad thai was sickly sweet and without balance. Rather than cook with spices, they are sprinkled on top, so every single bite is different. The rice was abysmal. Soft, sopping wet, and absolutely over cooked. I asked for extra eggs, which weren't delivered. The staff said there was a new cook training. It's going to take a lot of training to fix these problems. Subpar. read more

Great! Always good and we usually pickup our orders and usually the wait is no long. Inside the restaurant is small. We live out of town so we generally prefer to grab our order and take home. I like the Chicken Pad- Thai noodles the best. I get a level 4 in spice, my husband gets the same in a level 8. The spice level is 0-10 with 10 being the spiciest! I like the lime juice squeeze on mine. We also enjoy the egg roll, 4 in an order, though they are smaller in size. We always want more! read more

Food is always on point! Great service! Always clean! Servicing size is generous! Love this place!!

This was the longest wait I have ever experienced. We were told 25-30 minutes to be seated but it took just shy of an hour. We then ordered our food and it took over 45 minutes to get it. The fried rice was really good, and the ban tai was okay but the pork was extremely dry. Waitress was very nice though. It was busy, and I'm assuming the kitchen was short staffed so it's very possible that it is usually better. read more

My pad keep mao with chicken was delicious-so glad our server Myla recommended it! Perfect amount of heat at "4". BTW she was incredible. Normally the manager, she was pinch-hitting as server due to a call-in. She was everywhere! And still gave great service with a smile. My husband enjoyed his Thai-d cashew with pork (his heat was "3"). Only disappointment were the summer rolls-lots of lettuce but no shrimp to speak of. Definitely recommend this restaurant for good food in generous portions and great service. read more

Always delicious. Pad Thai either chicken or shrimp is always a good meal to order. Their crab Rangoon's are good for an appetizer. I do wish they had more kids menu meals like a small fried rice dish. read more

Good, by Southern IL standards, but would not hold up well to options which may be available in more densely-populated areas. Ambience - 5/5 A funky blend of Illinois and Thailand. Crab Rangoon - 4/5 A little light on the crab and heavy on the cream cheese, but very plentiful. Prepare your stomach for the dairy invasion. Thai Tea - 5/5 Perfect. Pad Thai - 3/5 Fairly off-tasting. Struggled to finish. Would not recommend. Green Curry - 4/5 Tasty, but small portions and odd vegetable choices (green beans, really?) read more

I recently dined at Thai D on October 12, 2024. The dining experience was wonderful! My wife and I were greeted and seated promptly. The waitress was enthusiastic and helpful in explaining menu items. We ordered summer rolls as an appetizer and the Thai D Delight and Thai D Noodles for dinner. We enjoyed the sticky rice with custard for dessert. Here are my takeaways: Service was outstanding - prompt meal service, drinks refilled, multiple visits by both the manger and waitress to ensure all was good. Food was hot and tasty! Dining room ambience was nice and very clean. All staff was happy and engaged. The manager was doing everything - she was outstanding just like the wait staff. Pricing was reasonable. The restrooms were clean. I wish Thai D was located in Murray KY!! read more

The food is always yummy. The place is clean. The people are nice. What else do you need to know?

We got laid over from work here and had Yelp deliver from Thai-D. On time and food was hot and good! I'd definitely order from here again read more

Tried out another Thai restaurant in Marion with my co-worker. He ordered Pad See Ew with chicken. I ordered Red Curry with Shrimp. Pad See Ew noodles used are not the super wide noodles that I prefer. They used white meat for chicken. Red curry had decent flavor, good size shrimp. I wish the curry was a little thicker. I asked if they had any picked chili peppers and they brought me a spice variety. Overall, similar to Baan Thai in that the food is "Americanized." But would prefer Thai-D. read more

Awesome food and customer service. I ate there two days in a row. I will definitely eat there again if I am in the area.

We visited Thai-D on the road back home from St. Louis. Located in a tiny strip mall in a smaller city, Thai-D welcomes visitors with its warm atmosphere and fairly large menu. We had our usual Thai favorites, not feeling like trying anything new. Potstickers to start, red curry for my boyfriend, and pad see ew for me! And of course a Thai tea to drink. :) We got the meat-filled potstickers, but a vegetarian option is available. For the price, I felt the portion size could have been a bit larger - only four potstickers were served. We also definitely needed more soy dipping sauce. This sauce had green onions on top, which was an interesting addition. Overall, the flavor was pretty good, but it was lacking a bit of crispness in the thicker parts of the potstickers. My Thai tea had a slightly more floral note to it than other versions I've had; I don't prefer it that way, but I still enjoyed my drink and liked the switch-up from the norm. The red curry portion was HUGE. More than my boyfriend could handle on his own, and he can throw down. He enjoyed it, though - and they're not playing with the heat! Take note if you're a heat weenie; even my level 4 (out of 10) pad see ew had me clearing my throat and sniffling a bit! My meal was tasty, with a very large portion also; the flavors were about what I'd expect from a solid rendition of the dish. My chicken was a touch dry, but that's my only complaint. Overall, Thai-D is a yummy stop for some Thai food! read more

The food was fabulous. Well seasoned and beautifully presented. We ordered the pork pot stickers, Pad kee mao, and Thai D delight. We appreciated our server asking about spice levels and he was spot on with his descriptions. Try the mango ice cream. It was a great end cap to the meal. The noise level isn't too bad, the seating is not cluttered. Overall, a great experience and nicely priced. read more

very nice interior design for a mom and pop thai place. Well prepared, good service, generous serving sizes

Lovely place with delicious food! Stopped tonight during a road trip. Everything we tried, egg rolls, hot and sour soup and pineapple fried rice were superb. Will definitely pull off the highway the next time we are in the area. read more

Service has gone downhill. I hope the owner and manager read this. This is some of THEE best Thai food Ive ever had. Im from Calif so we have great Thai food. For the past decade Ive been stopping in here every time I visit Marion. At least a few times each visit, the food is that good.. This time most of the staff looked like they are still in college. Our server was just scattered. I didnt get her name but she was blond, wore a long skirt and seemed new. My order wasnt right, our soups came out last and I had to waive her down for service. Always had great service here before. Not all but most college kids nowadays just seem to not pay attention and tbh a little lazy. Theyd rather chitchat in the back then work. Not all of them of course but it seems like most. Our fast food places have terrible service too out in Cali because of them. Please please go back to hiring actual servers. The young girl at the reception handling take out was great. She was pleasant on the phone. Multitasking, taking phone orders, helping guests etc keep her! See u next time! read more

Low quality Thai food in the mall area of Marion. Many like this place, but their food is abysmally sweet with very little seasoning. The Pad Kee Mao, Pad King, and Pad Thai all seemed to have the flavor and life squeezed out of them, without the fresh bright flavors I love about Thai food. Service was friendly, however. Stick to Thai Taste in Carbondale instead for a more authentic Thai food experience read more

The yummiest Thai food around and great service. I recommend the Pad Kee Mao with tofu, yum.

This is easily one of my favorite places to eat in SO IL. I've been going here for years and never have been disappointed! I always get my staple, chicken pad Thai level 2 and never deviate from that. I've tried other dishes that friends have gotten over the years and liked them, but I just am in love with their pad Thai. Their food is tasty and flavorful every time. They recently redid Thai D when they closed for Covid and the restaurant is very trendy now. The wait on food is never too long even when they're full! I haven't ever had bad service though I do prefer some waitresses over others!! Also, the owner has a super unique story and it's on a plaque on the wall so definitely check it out when you go! I will say if you are someone who enjoys spice, some cooks are heavier then other cooks w/ it so sometimes a level 5 feels like a 4 and sometimes it feels like a 7 haha. Just saying maybe go lighter and ask for more Chile flakes if you want it more spicy. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting to diversify their palate for the night! read more
