I wanted to love this place but it was just ok. Everything was ok. Didnt love anything but didnt hate anything. Its convenient so I'll probably go back in a pinch but not my favorite read more

Worst customer service I have ever had. Paid for my order in advance for pickup. They told my girlfriend they didn't have the order. Tried to make her order again and pay twice. Extremely rude about it. Also made her wait 25 minutes after they messed up the order. Stinks because food was cheap and good read more

This spot has been a staple for me since I moved into wicker park 2 years ago. Fantastic food, with efficient service. Consistently delicious, and generous with their servings. Everyone I have introduced to this restaurant has become an instant fan. Highly recommend. read more

If you don't feel like reading this whole review, only read this: GET THE EGG ROLLS. They're easily the best my boyfriend and I have ever had, and now we get them ALL the time. We get this place delivered a lot and have tried a lot of their dishes. Pad thai is solid, but not my favorite. Their keemow noodles is one of my favorites, along with red or mussaman curry (although there never seems to be enough rice for the curry dishes - order a side of it if you want to play it safe). Their wontons are also really good. Another dish I'm not a fan of are the thai spring rolls - the wrapping is really thick and they just end up kind of dry and tasteless. But yeah, I'll keep coming back here for the egg rolls as long as I live in Chicago. Not only that, but the service has always been friendly and the prices are super affordable! read more

I've never actually been here but it seems great! A few blocks away I had a woman ask me if my grandma goes to church and then start talking about about how Jesus trumps science goyim are truly wild read more

I finally made it into Thai Lagoon, after reading reviews about how good it was. I really wanted to give it 3 1/2 stars, but I decided to round up. I did this because this is the first Thai food I have ever eaten and I am a fan. I had something called Mussaman (or something spelled similar to that) curry. I was worried that it would be spicy because I don't do well in that area, but it was great. The taste and mixture of spices was unique and tasted very good. The meal had potatoes and my favorite...peanuts as well. I would say a very good choice for someone who is not familar with Thai food and not so much into hot spicy dishes. I also ordered the Crab Rangoon! Holy Lord! They were delicious. I have had Crab Rangoon all over the place in many states and I have never had anything close to the quality of those. The edges are super crispy and the filling had large pieces of crab. Very good! The bill was $25, for a pop, an appetizer, and two meals. The portions were large enough to have left overs as well. It was a nice experience. read more

I'll start out by saying Thai Lagoon is one of my go-to restaurants for when my wife and I have guests in from out of town. We like the cozy, minimal atmosphere, the staff is always as friendly as they come, and most importantly the food NEVER disappoints. I've eaten there myself 30+ times and never been disappointed, and whenever we take people there they enjoy it as well. My favorite dishes are the musaman curry, their vegatible fried rice, and another curry dish that I can't remember. Their avocado and vegetable rolls are fantastic as well. I'm a little disappointed to see Thai Lagoon only have three and a half stars. I noticed many of the low scores were from people who had food delivered. I've only eaten at the restaurant, so I can't comment on that, but I'm confident that had some of those people eaten at the restaurant they would have given it a higher score. read more

God awful. Everything was bland. The spring rolls were flavorless, the pad Thai tasted like lean cuisine, and the Basil Tofu was was bitter and I couldn't find any basil in it at all. The waitress didn't say a single word to us. Worst Thai food I've had in years. Completely disapointed. read more

As a person who eats Thai food at least once a week, Thai Lagoon is my favorite! The Pad Won Sen is absolutely AMAZING! And a must have if you are new to Thai cuisine or the restaurant. Like all things good, you have to wait quite a bit for dishes to come out and delivery times can be long during high volume nights. Highly Recommended!! read more

I've been here once and really enjoyed it, however, I'm really disappointed that they are closed on Sundays. Tasty food, though, and byob is always a plus. I remember the prices being decent and the staff being friendly.. but that's all. I'll have to try it again and see what comes of the next outing. read more

I have been eating here, mostly take out, since moving in to the neighborhood in 2004. I never had a bad dish. Some time in 2012, ownership changed and so did the recipes. For me, it has been a disappointment. It is not just the flavors, the ingredients are poorer quality. The rice is less tender and fragrant, flavor replaced with heat, chicken drier and over cooked. It is as if the owners are just trying to cut too many corners for a profit. It won't work. Too many better options in the neighborhood. I am still ordering once and awhile because of the convenience and a desperate hope the improve. I can tell I am not alone, the place is definitely emptier. read more

Super speedy delivery. I was notified that my food was on the way and should be an hour but it arrived in just 30 minutes! Good customer service over the phone too. Great pad thai, enough for 3 meals. I wasn't a huge fan of the spring rolls but they were presented really well and others seem to have loved them. I definitely recommend giving this place a try (at least in takeout/delivery)! read more

My favorite Panang Curry, and you get to choose how spicy it is, which is radical. Initially they forgot my Thai Iced Coffee, but they made another trip to deliver it and I never even mentioned it! Excellent service. They were so quick with the first trip that the Thai Iced Coffee technically was still on time, even though it was on the second trip! And that sweet nectar was worth the wait. read more

My go-to place for Thai takeout! Their Pad Thai, Crab Rangoon & Egg Rolls are delicious!

Amazing tasting food and quality! We order from here regularly and it is always very good and hot. The crab Rangoons are the best I've ever had! A lot of food for your money. Highly recommend! read more

Not the best Thai place I have been to but the prices are reasonable and I like the staff. My date and I enjoy ourselves. Good place for a vegetarian. read more

Simple, local Thai spot. I like their Pad Thai, Pad see ew and Spicy basil chicken. The spicy basil chicken has just enough kick to it. All the food comes in generous servings and I usually get 3 meals out of 1 takeout dish. read more

Wanna make a hipster from NYC or Seattle shut up about how much Chicago Thai sucks? Take'em here. They will fill their smug gullets with some of the best damn Mussaman Curry and Pad See Eiw. I too strayed from my usual and tried the Nam Sod, great gods of Valhalla! One of their best dishes. The staff is super friendly, service fast and the atmosphere is great. Where else can you go for Thai and listen to Neutral Milk Hotel? read more

Great for PICK UP in Wicker Park. Delivery is always really slow so if you can walk there I would recommend it. I suggest the spicy chicken pad Thai--but be careful, they are not always consistent on how spicy something will be.. sometimes it can get really spicy-- you've been warned. The ambiance of the restaurant is strange.. sometimes it plays coffee shop music, dance music or nothing at all. Over all, this is an A-OK place for a relaxing movie night. I keep coming back! read more

Absolutely terrible service. I used to frequent this place all the time when I lived in Wicker Park. Today I made a 20 min detour just so I could get the Panang Curry. So I get there, and my order is all wrong. I ordered 2 lunch specials and the girl charged me for 2 dinners. I told her it was wrong and she was basically like "well that's just how it is." Ummm ok. Then I look at the receipt even more, they didn't give me any chicken! No meat at all. I never said no meat. I corrected her on this too, so she put chicken in there. I get home and there is three freaking pieces of chicken in the whole meal!! I call the manager and she straight up called me a liar. Said they weigh out every meal and none of the cooks said they only put 3 pieces in there so I'm wrong. Um what?? What kind of service is that? What do I have to gain by lying. She said she would give me store credit. No thanks lady. I'll never come back after no one apologizing for the wrong order or the messed up meal AND THEN CALLING ME A LIAR!! This lady has a lot of nerve. I'll just drive up Western and go to Sticky Rice. Edit: and now they're sending me passive aggressive messages through yelp. Way to go. read more

Truly a gem in Wicker Park. I've now gone there a few times (it's only a few blocks from my place) and I can honestly say each dish I've tried was amazing. It's especially affordable and I think a fair amount better than the more well know Penny's a few blocks away. Definitely recommend. read more

I really like Americanized Thai food. Don't judge. I took a risk and decided to try a new Thai spot and decided upon Thai Lagoon. It delivers to me. It's on Grub Hub so I don't actually have to speak to a person to order my food. They have all the basics on the menu. We went with egg rolls, crab rangoon, pad see-eiw and the panang curry. All delicious, all served piping hot right around the estimated delivery time. The delivery guy even easily found my bat cave of apartment without needing to call for directions. The egg rolls were actually surprisingly yumtastic. The shell is more of a crispy spring roll shell, which was a nice change of pace and the filling was tasty. The crab rangoon were just OK - nothing you can't get at every Asian restaurant. But c'mon. Crab rangoon is like pizza. Even if it's bad, it's still pretty good. I really enjoyed my pad see-eiw. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chicken was moist, it had just the right amount of egg and the sauce was rich and sweet and flavorful. All things considered, the bill was pretty inexpensive. About $40 including tax, tip and delivery fee. I'd like to try dining in sometime! read more

Very yummy food, average prices, fast delivery. I like that they put little pieces of tofu in their food instead of the big chunkers other places use that tend to get cold really fast. I've been inside and the decor is nothing special, kinda on the ugly side. But when I feel like Thai I will definitely continue to order from here. read more

This my favorite Thai place in Chicago. BYOB, hip fresh relaxing atmosphere and decor, GREAT music-id say a cool electric/rap vibe. The pad thai is very flavorful and fresh. The prices are average and I recommended this to all Thai food lovers. Great food and i love the atmosphere read more

Best Thai food in Chicago!!!! I been ordering here for 13 years and have never been disappointed. Hats off to the chefs, staff and owners you guys are doing an excellent job. Thank you! read more

My last review was based on solely the pad Thai, but today, I ventured off from my usual meal and ordered the spicy Basil. I would like to say it is the worst spicy basil i have ever had. It was very soupy and it had too many bamboo shoots. Delivery was fast, but this meal is so bad. Still like the pad Thai and their peanut sauce. read more

SO SO delicious! BYOB and super fresh ingredients. Don't know why the rating is low. Best Thai food I've had in Chicago. Very accommodating for my garlic and onion allergy - not easy to do! I get the panang curry every time. read more

My fiancé and I have lived in the neighborhood on and off for the past 9 years. The other day as we were walking past Thai Lagoon we asked each other why it is that we never eat there anymore (we had dined there a few times years ago when we lived just a block away) and we couldn't remember. We decided to give it a try since we heard that they had a decent amount of vegetarian options which is great for us. First we dined in on a Monday night. We were the only dine-in customers the whole time we were there. In spite of that, it took about 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and we waited quite a while for our food. I ordered a bowl of vegetable soup. It was OK, however it was barely warm...almost cold when I got it. The broth was a little bland. I would have liked to ask for some of that awesome red thai chili sauce to help spice it up, however our server was nowhere to be found. We also ordered Vegetable egg rolls which were pretty good, and my fiancé ordered a rice dish which he enjoyed. As we were eating our food the phone was ringing quite a lot, delivery drivers were running back and forth and a handful of customers came to pick up food. I thought to myself "Ok, maybe this is more of a pick up or delivery type place, maybe thats why the service is so sub par". Fast forward to our next experience. We ordered delivery on a Sunday night through Grubhub. We ordered the mushroom wontons, a pad thai with tofu and a spicy basil entree with tofu. Our delivery time was estimated to be between 45 min - 1 hr. I hoped that since we lived less than a 5 minute drive away...that maybe we'd luck out and get our food closer to the 45 minute mark. So we waited...and we waited....and we waited. An hour passes...around an hour and 15 minutes later I'm getting annoyed...at an hour and 20 minutes I tell my fiancé he needs to call. He calls and politely asks the status of our order at which point he immediately gets put on hold for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes on hold our doorbell rings and it was the delivery driver. Our food had finally arrived after almost an hour and a half! So as we sat down we said...well...maybe next time we should just pick it up. I immediately dove in to the mushroom wontons. YUCK! I'm a vegetarian. I like mushrooms. I eat them all the time...but this was just gross. It was literally entire mushrooms wrapped in a wonton and deep fried. Thats it, they weren't diced or seasoned or accompanied by some other vegetable or sauce. Lack of creativity aside, I could tell that it had been sitting for a long time because the only part of the wonton that was still crispy was the very edges. Everything else was just a mushy, slimy mess. No thanks. I then moved on to my Pad Thai. I take off the lid, start to eat and then I realize it's full of CHICKEN. Yup. They messed up my order. Even though it clearly said on the receipt and on my order confirmation from grubhub TOFU, they made it with chicken. I was so hungry at this point and wasn't willing to wait another hour and a half for a re-do so I did my best to pick out the chicken and eat around it. It wasn't even worth it. The noodles were sticking together in big clumps and burnt in some places, the egg was way over cooked and everything had this odd taste to it like it had been left to sit on a stove burner with the gas running and no flame. After the tiny bit that I ate, I wasn't feeling too great. My fiancé said his tasted OK, but it was really watery. The portion sizes were super small on both entrees for what we paid. FAIL. I'm not a picky eater. I also don't expect a whole lot in the customer service department...but this was just ridiculous. I'm shocked that this place has so many great reviews. Maybe I just had really bad luck, but after two sub par experiences I will not be giving this place another chance. It seems that they are too unorganized and understaffed to run their business properly and there are plenty of other places nearby to get much better food. read more

This is our go to Thai place. Amazing yellow and green curry, their pad Thai and pad see ew are exactly what you want them to be and the service is always friendly and prompt. Plus, if you're into crab Rangoons ("goonies" if you want to sound cool) you 100% need to try them. Maybe get two orders. read more

Supposedly vegetarians love this place. I ordered a lunch special yesterday and confirmed with the waitress that all of it was vegetarian. It was a bummer when neither the soup nor the appetizer that came out were veg (both had identifiable chunks of meat in them), and the entree reeked of over sweetened fish sauce. Bummer. Another one bites the dust. read more

Update: I think they changed ownership, because I came here recently for the first time in a few months, and the food isn't the same. The pad thai had some really goopy type sauce on it, whereas before it was light and clean tasting. The curry tasted pretty similar, the crab rangoons have definitely changed. They used to be with a light rice paper type wrap, and now they have a thick chinese buffet type coating. Too bad, I thought it was better a year ago. read more

Best Massaman Curry with Tofu ever. I eat here at least once a week, and I can't bring myself to order anything else off the menu. The decor is tranquil. The music is fantastic. The wait staff are attentive but laid-back. The patrons are gorgeous, and the prices are reasonable. What more could you ask for? read more

Thai Lagoon is one of my favorite Thai spots in Chicago. I heard about this place from a coworker and they raved about their lunch special. Thai Lagoon's lunch special comes with an entree and an appetizer (if dining in; if dining out, you receive two spring rolls) all for $7. You literally cannot best that! The portions are generous and the server (usually the same woman) is always quick and polite. I'd recommend Thai Lagoon for all Thai food lovers! read more

Great Thai food! The setting makes for a great relaxed dinner out. For those who like spicy, anything can be made in a "burn your face off" level of spicyness, and also non-spicy for the wusses like me. They deliver too! read more

The service was a little slow, BUT I really enjoyed my meal. I got the curried fried rice with chicken, which was delicious and spicy (love spicy)! The restaurant is quaint and a little trendy. I had been here a looong time ago with a large group for a birthday and remembered liking it, though I did have a lot of wine that night! Gotta love BYOB. Lagoon has a $3 corkage fee, but the food is pretty cheap so it balances out. read more

I lived across the street from Thai Lagoon for a year so I had many occasions to stop on in. The first several times, I loved it. Then the last couple times I wasn't so thrilled with the food. My friend got the pad thai and it was really not very good and I've had some bad pad thai in Chicago... Also my roommate swears that they only seat the attractive ladies at the table near the window. I don't know what that has to do with anything just thought I'd share. I think my roommate probably spent too much time staring across the street. read more

Sometimes I just want to drink your curry. Great food, fantastic price. I consider it the best Thai in the Chi. All dishes can be made vegan. Delivery is fresh and fast. BYOB dining in. read more

I got the green tofu curry lunch special here (but I didn't get anything but my entree)... It was good, but their tofu is very chewy. I would steer clear of that. There's also a lady that works there who was very rude. I saw a customer asked for something and she walked away and literally huffed and puffed and mumbled something under her breath. She has a very "what do you want? Hurry up and get out of my face" attitude. If I find out what days She's off I'd consider going back... read more

All we know is the Tamerand Curry chicken or beef or tofu, not sure I spelled it write, but it is the best ever. Never found anyother thai place in the city that makes it. Crab Ragoon is good as well. read more

Good Thai food. Insanely fast delivery. I've never eaten in and probably never will since the delivery is under 30 minutes. I know tons of people who love this place more than life itself. read more
