You can't get much better unless you're able to be eating in Thailand yourself. As someone who's been to Thailand twice, the owner and chefs make the whole experience wonderful, from the service to the amazing flavourful food!! Always get the fried tofu btw, you'll be happy you did!! 5+ Star rating here!! read more

I love Thai-D's lunch. Great food, good portion size and affordable prices. It's a win!!

Excellent food! Unexpected in such a small town. A pleasant surprise. Comfortable atmosphere and easy to get to.

No complaints. I've been to Thailand and the dishes we had were pretty on point flavor wise. The portion sizes are beyond generous and the wait staff is quite friendly. We had Pad Woon Sen and the Duck Curry. A single portion could have fed 3 people. We enjoyed the leftovers as much as the restaurant experience. Also, their Thai Tea with Rumchata is delicious. Not a combo I ever would have put together on my own, and the tea wasn't overly sweet, which was appreciated. read more

By far, my favorite Thai restaurant of anywhere I've tried. The owner and the staff are absolutely amazing only surpassed by the taste of the food. If you like Thai and you're in area, be sure to make this place a destination. read more

Great Thai restaurant in Marion. Found on yelp and as all the other reviewers said, it did not disappoint. Ordered vegetable spring rolls, and Thai fried rice with extra shrimp and it all was delicious. The food was so fresh and flavorful. The wait staff are all so kind and attentive. My waiter was very nice, knowledgeable and attentive to us. I also ordered a Thai Ice Tea and it was good as well. Definitely a different twist on an ice tea. My first time having one and liked it. This place stay busy. We got there around 4pm and by 5pm the place was practically full to capacity and I see why. Only reason I knocked a couple stars off is between this place and Marion Red Lobster my credit card was compromised and someone tried to fraudulently use it. Luckily my bank Chase caught it quick, still a pain none the less. When I was in town I only used my card at two locations where the card was taken out of my sight away from me and where all information, including the security code on the back could of been retrieved. So beware if you're using a credit card this could happen, especially if they probably can tell you're from out of town, like I'm sure they knew we were. None the less the food was really good and the service from my waiter. read more

The food here is amazing and the staff is very efficient. Most meals come with a free small soup as soon as you sit down. Cheap lunch deals but you can order from the dinner menu anytime too. I love the Pad Woonsen. read more

Thai D provides delicious, authentic Thai food, which is hard to come by in Carbondale. I wasn't overly starving, so I ordered a small hot & sour soup and spring rolls. I've had some awful hot and sour soup at other Thai place, but here the balance was beautiful, it was PACKED with tofu, and it wasn't broth-based, but thick and filling. The spring rolls were also delicious, filled with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. I was surprised not to see any whole shrimp (or even chunks of shrimp!) visible, but I'll just assume it was in there. I also had to pay $1 for peanut sauce that appeared runny, but tasted great, so it was hard to be upset! My sister ordered the Pad Thai, which is enough to feed two! It was also packed with lots of fresh veggies, the perfect amount of sauce, and tons of chicken. There was so much chicken, in fact, that I stared stealing some off of her plate and dunking it in my peanut sauce- kind of like chicken satay! :) Our friend ordered the Fried Rice, and even he couldn't finish it! HUGE portions! The service was good. Our drinks were always filled and they were prompt. No complaints there! Definitely a good choice if you're in the mood for Thai! read more

Great social distancing and precautions. The food was excellent too, maybe a hair on the spicier side, but thats personal preference. Will definitely visit again when in town! read more

My favorite restaurant. Excellent food prepared for takeout! Friendly, efficient service.

Consistently great food and great service. Appetizers to entrees reflect a care for preparation and presentation at a reasonable price.

Excellent food ! Fresh and delicious!' We stopped in while traveling based on the high ratings !!! read more

Delicious - Thanks for the incredible lunch today! If you opened this restaurant in Florida, near me, I'd eat there at least it 2-3 times a month. Compliments to the chef & owners for this success! The heat level on the spicy-fried rice with chicken was superb. I also had a small side of red curry sauce which was flavorful. read more

My friends and I go here once a month (we do not live nearby). We go here every time because the service has always been top notch and the food is incredible. If you REALLY like spicy food, as I do, level 8 is where it's at, the heat builds as you eat. The restaurant is considerate about caring for people with sensitivities to heat and allergies. $$ wise the prices are budget friendly, I hate going to a sit down restaurant and paying entree prices for appetizers. At Thai-D, I bought 3 entrees and 3 appetizers including drinks for $80 including tip. read more

Everything is AWESOME!!! Love the Pineapple Fried Rice. The Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce is AMAZING!!!

The food is amazing. So is the service. The Thai tea is a very yummy drink. I also recommend the ice cream and add honey.

Always start with the thai-d platter. Nothing can beat the Thai-D Pineapple Fried Rice. Yummy But also the thai-d special fried rice has it's unique spices which makes my mouth watery whenever I think. The service never disappointed me. Cheers Thai-D Management. I'm glad there is a good Thai restaurant around me. read more

Thai-D - Thai Near Me - Marion, Illinois

Tried this place again for lunch and their free soup was uber yummy! I must have gotten it on an off day before. Chicken broth with veggies and a nice blend of salt and pepper. Overall to make it short, their service will always sucks and the noodles are always a little too al dente (undercooked), but the food is authentic and good! Again, best Thai food around these parts! read more

Thai-D - Tom yum soup - Thai Near Me - Marion, Illinois

Clean great service. Fried rice was delicious. Pad Thai not too sweet. Chicken salad drowned in dressing. Would skip the salad but would get the fried rice and pad Thai again. read more

Red curry left me deliciously satisfied. Friendly upbeat services with a smile and well dressed. read more

Amazing full with healthy portions to fill our bellies. Nice selection of choices and great service as well.

The food was great, service with a smile, and an owner that had won TWO Emmys for a film he helped produce!!! The restaurant was clean, nicely decorated but has somewhat limited seating, so either go early or make a reservation. read more

I've came here a few times and I'm always greeted & sat very quickly. The food is always good and they make sure to accommodate people with food allergies. I love the atmosphere here aswell! read more

Had a disappointing meal this visit. Appetizer of spring rolls was good and excellent service as always. The curry wasn't good at all. I chose yellow curry which is a favorite. The "curry" was a brown, thick gravy that tasted like corn starch instead of curry. Looks like they are cutting corners and not getting good ingredients. I'll stick with noodles next time. read more

Food is good. Portions are a bit small and more pricey than competitors across the road.

Exceptional! The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable. Everything we ordered tasted so good. On spot! The restaurant was clean. Can't ask for more. read more

I went here because a co-worker said someone else on the team thought this was better than Thai Taste in Carbondale. Now I haven't been to that one, but another friend who's been around here a lot for work says she's only heard good things about Thai Taste. Objectively, I was disappointed with Thai D. The tom yum soup was fine. It's a pretty traditional Thai soup and I don't think I've ever had a bad tom yum. The spice level warning on the menu is tailored to Midwestern hot, FYI. The 5 being super spicy is laughable if you actually like spice, it's more like just good spice. The problem was the pad kra pao. I asked for suggestions for something with plenty of basil and that's what my waitress pointed out. I was thinking something like basil beef (or pork, as it were), but what I actually got seemed more like a saucy Chinese dish with very little basil. I really don't remember tasting basil and only saw a couple leaves. The dish as a whole just didn't have a Thai taste to it, just a salty and copious sauce. My best guess is that I got the wrong dish, but even then it honestly didn't taste like a Thai dish at all. I won't say go with Thai Taste instead since I haven't actually tried it yet, but that's my hunch right now. read more

Very good Thai food. We just moved to the area from St Paul. We were very glad to fund good Thai food, especially pad thai.

Absolutely amazing food! The atmosphere is very nice and wait staff is amazing I have never had a dish here that I didn't enjoy. They practice social distancing and staff wear masks. read more

The one to ten spice levels are fun if you like spicy food! Only been a couple times. Decent service. Very clean atmosphere. Food was good quality compared to others in the area. read more

This is a great Thai restaurant in Southern Illinois. We had yellow curry, green curry, and Pad Thai. It was worth the drive from Southeast Missouri. Thanks. read more

A little hard to find, but very worth it. Excellent hot Thai food. You will be full when you leave. Beautiful interior of the restaurant. Dine in or take out. read more

Always friendly and nice, good prices and the food is phenomenal! Very accommodating to vegans.

The food here was delicious. You choose your spice level, so it won't burn your mouth unless you like it that way. Service was friendly and speedy. Very clean establishment. read more

Great food and service. One of my favorites in Marion. They have a lunch deal during the weekdays. Always busy.

I've been here a few times and food has always been good and reasonably priced. It's a great place for a quick meal.

What happened to sweet & sour chicken.?? It was like soup- broth with very little flavor. I was very disappointed.

It was challenging to locate this place as it was part of the mall but we persevered and very glad we did. Thanks to fellow yelpers for not leading us astray. First time to be in the area and not only did it not disappoint, it impressed us. Ambiance was great, plenty of parking and they even had a call button right on your table to call your server! Talk about customer service. Now the food...we ordered their mixed appetizer, had the tom kha soup and the fish. All of it was flavorful and superb. Serving portion was great and very reasonable prices. We even had the tom kha soup leftover and had it for dinner the next night.. thankfully the hotel had a microwave and it was still delicious! A rare gem indeed and will recommend this. read more

Such great food! It's one of my favorite restaurants in southern Illinois. 10/10 - Highly recommend!

My husband and I were passing through and stayed nearby for a night. We picked up food from Thai-D as we were hungry and tired. Service was excellent and they were enforcing social distancing by not having people wait in the wait area. They bring out your food and let you know your table is ready by phone. I ordered pad Thai and it was little dry but tasty. My husband got Pad King and it was delicious. We also had pork pot stickers that were good but the dipping sauce was amazing. read more
