The food there is the best I have ever had. The service is relatively quick. The ambiance is very nice and was not overly busy and loud.

Seriously the best Thai food within 100 miles of Chicago. I miss lunch hour visits to TP during my time at NIU. The Chicken Pad Thai is truly undefeated. Students, take advantage of this gem while you can! read more

Mixed appetizer was pretty good but expensive- it had potstickers, egg rolls, shrimp, crab Ragoon + more- the sweet & sour sauce was delicious We got 2 different fried rice dishes & they were blah 1 Thai noodle dish was also meh Wonton Soup was also not very good Bill was over $140 b4 tip no alcohol - sodas came in cans & probably got charged for my refill, I didn't check Skip it & eat at Yen Ching every time read more

Hands down the best Pad See Ew you will ever eat. The noodles are perfectly cooked, meat is juicy, and sauce is not overwhelming. I always order takeout and they are very punctual about when the order will be ready. Facility is nice and always seems to have a steady flow of customers inside which is great. Highly recommend! read more

Recommendation from a friend so we ate here on a Monday evening and it was so delicious. We had the mussamen curry salmon, fried tofu and basil rolls. We returned Wednesday evening to try some other menu items. This time we had the satay tofu, a bowl of Tom kha, and red curry with chicken. It was absolutely wonderful!! Service was top-notch! read more

Thai Pavilion - Pad Kee Mow with tofu - Thai Near Me - DeKalb, Illinois

We took our two daughters here for dinner the night before our big NIU college visit based on a review comment I read. The man had said how he longed for the yellow curry chicken. He had moved away and had a chance to come back and that was what he wanted. So I had to order this! I swapped beef for chicken though. Anyway, it was delicious and did not disappoint! My wife had the oyster beef and that was amazing. One daughter had Kai soa beef curry that came with fried noodles on top and the other daughter beef pad Thai noodles. Also I don't want forget to mention the appetizers. We ordered Fried wontons and crab Rangoon and both were delightful. This restaurant was excellent. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants delicious Thai food with an authentic taste. read more

Great vibes and relaxing atmosphere. I have been a customer for years and the food is extremely consistent. The portions are very generous. I recommend pad see ew or the red curry. When traveling or visiting other places I often go out for Asian food, especially Thai, and none have ever compared to Thai Pavilion. My favorite restaurant in Dekalb, period. read more

This was our first time ordering or eating at Thai Pavilion. We ordered take out this first time, the service was good and prepared the food quickly and on time. The order was given to us accurately, which isn't always a given. We thought the food was good, nothing exceptional. There are so many good Thai restaurants by where we live so our standards could be high. I think the quality and taste is very good in Dekalb, but I'm it sure it would hold up closer to Chicago. We ordered Basil chicken, beef pad thai, tofu and vegetable, chicken and broccoli and crab rangoons. All the dishes tasted good and nice size portions. We didn't care for the crab rangoons, there are so many versions, it comes down to personal preference, these were a little too sweet for me, without the sweet n sour sauce. Overall, wedge back and order or eat here again, when we are back in Dekalb. Happy to see more thai restaurants open up there. read more

Very good thai food. And service is quick and attentive. I definitely recommend this place. Beware the kaeng pa is extremely spicy hot! Pad thai is fantastic! read more

Always tasty! It is a nice weekday lunch spot. I almost always get something with tofu. They know how to make it delicious.

The food is so good. Service excellent location easy to get to. Plenty of seating room.

We ordered take out from here a month ago. It was SO good!!! The Pad Thai was amazing. My wife had the same and she was thrilled that we had a Thai food place out here. The guys had their standbys and everyone was thrilled. Next time, we go in person. read more

Best Thai food around! The pad Thai is a huge portion full of flavor and ingredients. We enjoy the appetizer platter and enjoy the various curries on the menu. This is a go-to restaurant for us when we want to eat out. read more

Excellent massaman curry! Lunch specialist a solid value . Only gripe is the included soup is not great but still dose not detract from the solid experience. Also shout out to staff who are friendly and attentive. Wish I lived closer so I could return soon. read more

This place is great! The indoor ambiance is pleasant, and pristine, perfect for a casual-romantic dinner and lunch spot. The food tastes great! I've been a few times now, and every time i leave wondering "when can i come back for more?" I've tried the cashew chicken, spicy shrimp curry fried rice (So effing -pardon my french- good!), and the beef and broccoli. The owner is a pleasant, down-to-earth gentleman, a fair and reasonable seeming person, as are his staff - polite, accommodating, concise and friendly. I cant wait to try the next dish from here again! read more

First Thai experience. Had the Pad Thai because everyone here raved. I didn't specify how spicy I wanted it because I had no idea. Ended up not being spicy at all but it was very good. Service was super fast as restaurant was pretty empty at the time. Looks like they were training some new staff and the guy in charge was keeping them on their toes. Highly recommended. read more

There's a reason it's been around for a couple decades. Consistently good Thai, expansive menu, cozy atmosphere, friendly service. Bean thread salad is where it's at. read more

Best restaurant in the area! Ordering thai style spicy is authentic and delicious! Lime chicken is fantastic ! Thai pavilion noodles are to die for. Thai fried rice is my favorite fried rice around ! Yummm Cannot wait to go back! Servers are attentive and very nice ! Bathrooms are always clean . Love the true Thai decor from Thailand all around the restaurant . The owners are so very nice and also work with the rest of the staff . read more

Stopped here after a visit to NIU. We ordered spring rolls, Pad Thai with chicken and green curry with beef. The food showed up quick and OMG it was delicious. The spring rolls were fresh and prepped beautifully. Pad Thai with chicken showed up on a huge plate almost too much for one person to finish. I said almost because it's so flavorful that once you start eating you will lick the plate before you pay the bill. The green curry with beef was also delicious and came with side of white rice. If you can't decide what to get ask the waitress. Our waitress gave us some good recommendations and overall service was excellent. Make this place your lunch or dinner stop next time you visit Dekalb IL read more

I went here yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. First I will say that I rarely eat Thai food so I am unable to compare this restaurant to any other Thai restaurant/talk about how authentic it is to actual Thai food. We got the pot stickers, edamame, chicken and rice soup, and then the panang curry. Edamame is what you would expect, however this edamame was lightly salted instead of heavily salted and usually I like a heavily salted edamame so I was a little disappointed with that but the edamame was definitely fresh. The potstickers tasted great, they came with a mix of chicken and veggies inside instead of the usual pork mixture that I'm used too. We got the potstickers pan fried and they had an excellent crisp without being too oily and a good balance between the chicken and veggie flavor as well as a good amount of this meat mixture inside the potstickers and they came with a nice almost soy sauce like dipping sauce. The soup was interesting as I am typically used to American style chicken and rice soup but definitely not bad. This soup comes in a light broth that definitely had flavor and a little kick with unseasoned rice and chicken in it. I think this soup is good if you want something very light to fill you up and the small portion was more then enough. However, if you're like me and like cream style broths better or a little saltier or even if you don't like cilantro (definitely the boldest flavor in there) this soup may not be for you, it's definitely not bad but it wasn't designed for my taste buds. Finally the panang curry was delicious! It was a little thinner then what I expected for a curry but the flavor was all there! This curry had a nice sweet to spicy ratio and the spice was never too overpowering. In the curry itself there was large chucks of all types of vegetables and the protein of your choice, which you could honestly pick out something if you didn't like it and I liked that each vegetable although cooked on the curry still had a nice bite to it and wasn't completely mush. Lastly the service there was impeccable, the food came out fast, the restaurant had a nice relaxing ambiance to it, looked very clean, and I don't think they let my glass get half way before they refilled my cup! Overall this is definitely a place to come and try, the portions are great, the service is great, and overall I was able to have a relaxing time with my family and enjoy a dinner out! Edamame: 4/5, Chicken and Rice soup: 3/5, Potstickers: 4.5/5, Panang Curry: 4/5, Service 5/5. OVERALL: 4.1/5 read more

Eggrolls and spring rolls were a delicious start, and our family had the pineapple fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, and pad Thai. But one of the best things we have ever tasted was the mango chicken. Definitely not light, but a unique, delicious splurge! read more

Pad Thai every time. I wish shrimp wasn't a $7 up charge! But it's delicious. Huge giant shrimps. It tastes better fresh served in the restaurant but I get it go a lot out of convenience. Staff is always polite. read more

Best Thai this side of DeKalb! Seriously, a lovely place to eat with EXCELLENT Thai options.

This place has gotten absurd with their prices and their serving sizes. It's not worth eating here anymore. They used to be amazing. The food used to be authentic and the service was wonderful. The people that run this place now aren't even thai, so it is no longer authentic. It's indians running a Thai restaurant. They've changed some of the spices they use so the food doesn't taste like Thai food should. The service is horrible. To top things off, they charge an 18% service charge on all of their bills without notifying you. Unless you specifically ask for an itemized bill, you won't know that you're being charged this because they literally just write the total price of your meal on a piece of paper and hand it to you. This place is no longer any good and I would not recommend eating here anymore. read more
