    Notice the brown yucky pineapple
    Mary W.

    I love Thai food, so when we drove past this place I decided to look at the menu. I was immediately intrigued to see the photos of the pineapple rice that were posted. I decided to place an order... such a mistake! Starting with placing the order. I inquired about what came in the rice - carrots, onion, pineapple, bell pepper, and choice of meat. I asked about green onion and I was told it was $3 up-charge-- wow, for slices of green onion vs white onion?!? Price gauging Ok whatever, I proceed with placing my order-- 40 min!! Now, I live in a busier city than this and I've been to major cities, this amount of time is a bit ridiculous. I should have just canceled then, but my sister said their food is good, so I stayed the course. Arrived to pick up my order and stood there for about 2-3 min while the man took phone orders. I get it, but at minimum acknowledge your customer. My total was $17.95 for rice... I asked for chili sauce and he said $1 for a small side, peanut sauce $5, and soy sauce $.50... these are not reasonable up charges at all! A packet of soy sauce is customary. It smells good so, let's get to the food. It's an orange-y color with pieces of pineapple and super chunks of green pepper and onion -- The flavor is ok, not impressive at all! The presentation of the rice is NOTHING like the photos. The pineapples are sweet, but I noticed a couple of bad pineapples (they were brown and soggy!). I wouldn't recommend and I probably won't come to this place again. Poor quality, poor service... I'm guessing the only thing that must be keeping this place in business is the lack of Thai options here. Shame!

    Pad Thai combo: beef chicken shrimp

    I am an international alum at Illinois Wesleyan from Asia and travel to Thailand many times every year for both business and leisure. Let me be straightforward, Thai House of Bloomington is literally the best, especially its Pad Thai, no matter in comparison with Thai restaurants in the US or in Thailand. Hope in the next time of visit, it may bring the dining-in service back.

    we were visiting Bloomington to attend an antique show. It started raining and we decided to have our dinner nearby. We found this restaurant while browsing the yelp. It was a small restaurant with a small menu. Average noise level with simple decoration. We got out table without waiting. The service was fast. The price was reasonable. I oedeted Kee Mao with shrimps and chicken. It needed little bit more sauce, but the amount of Basil was perfect. I wish the amount was food more. The chicken shumai was perfect. We had a grear meal on a rainy day.

    Vegans and vegetarians be careful! Vegetable gyoza was actually chicken gyoza and vegan Pad See Ew (#105) contained egg. Thai House agreed to credit us for the gyoza but refused to refund or give credit for the Pad See Ew because we didn't specify 'no egg' - even though we ordered it vegan. We've been loyal customers and have never had this happen before. To have a manager argue with me about vegan food not containing any animal product and admit that they always include egg in vegan dishes unless directed not to is plain dumb, insulting , and is a red flag. Big disappointment, especially from a business that touts how friendly it is to different dietary restrictions.

Next time you consider going out for a meal or don't feel like cooking, come here. Don't go to the big chains, the food, service and quality overall are so much better with Wesley!

    Worth the wait?! First any potential patrons need to understand two things going In, one, except…read morefor pop/bottled water, we're talking a BYO liquor situation. Thing #2, this is a ONE-MAN OPERATION. Yup, he's the waiter, the prep-cook, the chef, the front-end manager AND the 'cashier'. At least that's the deal on Thursdays when we typically go. Ultimately, the first point works in your favor, cuz with a little forethought, a small cooler and your favorite beverage, you will likely save you and yours at least $10. As for the second premise, our suggestion is to ask for timeframes early and often...then get comfy and DOUBLE those estimates. Hopefully your company (and/or your phone) will make the time disappear without notice, because it'll honnestly be a bit. Wes is a very busy man...and he tends to tell you what you wanna hear - the only things actually preventing a fifth Yelp star. Just know that the chances are quite good that it will have been well worth the wait. Mac-N-Cheese, killer. Steaks, juicily executed extremely well. Combinations of proteins always seem to mesh well, even in something as simple as a wrap. And just when you think you understand what it is that he does really well, he throws a chicken and waffle dish that blows away anything else in town, possibly any other such attempt at this iconic southern dish. (Pro tip, try a side of jerk sauce or BYO Tobasco.) Perhaps he has assistance on the weekends - one would hope so anyway, but this place definitely makes us appreciate hard work, good times and outstanding cooking. Great take out game too!

    We had eaten at Baxters before and really enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful pasta dishes. But…read moretoday we wanted a good steakhouse steak dinner. We started off with shrimp cocktail. It was fine, though the cocktail sauce could have used a little more horseradish. The basket of warm bread and whipped butter was great. And The salads were excellent (we went for a standard greens salad and a Caesar salad). For the main dish, we each ordered a bacon wrapped filet, medium rare, with Brussels sprouts. The filets were prepared as directed, but seemed dry, tough and flavorless. Disappointed. But worse was the Brussels sprouts (one of our favorites). The sprouts were hard, woefully undercooked and crunchy. Not in a good way. The flavor was lost in the rough texture. Very disappointed. The staff seemed a little flustered too. Brought a side a sautéed onions when we'd ordered mushrooms. Too bad, as we had enjoyed our pasta meals before and had expected a steakhouse to perform better.

    So we've been coming here since it opened and in fact had been to its predecessor in St. Louis…read morebefore that. We're pretty familiar with what they used to, and are trying, to be and while we have come to expect lofty goals, it seems like the longer in the tooth this place gets, the more they lose focus. Our most recent Valentines visit reinforced this with some disappointing bar service and a 'special featured' appetizer that took our disappointment to the next level. I get that on a busy night like Valentines, stuff happens, but in this case it was still relatively early (5:30 pm) and they had more than enough employees, it's just that those workers constantly stepped on each other, ignored customers for lengthy stretches, and missed a few details that used to come naturally at this place. Combine that with food delivery confusion and a complete fail on the supposed special feature of "sealed scallops with risotto" app and it left us feeling unfulfilled on what should have been a romantic visit. The next time they offer the scallop app, we strongly suggest they actually do more than wave one side of the scallop over a lukewarm-warm pan (nothing that resembles a 'sear') and figure a way to cut the greasiness of the garlic rice dollops without covering everything in pea tendrils such that you don't notice the lack of sear marks and oily pooling. We give the place three stars based on the still modern and comfortable decor, nice ambiance, robust cocktail & beer selection and the execution of the Tuna Tartare - still one of the lady's favorite bites in town. Perhaps it's just a management/training issue, but it touches both the kitchen and the floor and will hopefully be addressed before our next visit.
