Thai Square - Thai Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Great food, service. And reasonable prices. Always enjoy going there!! A must try for out of towners

Very sweet owners and good is top notch. Spring rolls reminded me of being in Thailand!

Panang Curry is absolutely the best; we can't resist ordering it at least once a month!

I have ordered from here a couple times. What drew me in was the reasonably priced lunch specials. However, that might be the best thing they have going for them. The dishes I have had have been bland and mushy. The broccoli in the Pad See Ew, which is what I ordered on my most recent visit, had heavy yellowing so it was not the freshest ingredient. The service is fine. I had just a short exchange with the woman working the register, as both visits were carry out, but seems very friendly. Overall, I would say this place is just okay, but likely won't be back. read more

the food is great the owner and her family very humble kind thoughtful friendly people we like them very much we buy from them very often the place is very clean and well kept we will continue to go there often highly recommend them ( this place ) read more

Great food and people and service .. small but mighty had kind Thank you to the team ! read more

Fantastic service, great food, personable staff, quick cooking time! Little hole in the wall with two tables and a small counter!

The food is generally good. $7.95 lunch specials and a relatively efficient jaunt down Oakton make this a dependable lunch option for me, closer and slightly cheaper than my other favorite. My preferred entrees are pad thai and ginger. Spicy basil is okay, but the ground chicken is not the greatest. In general, the vegetables seem to be pretty fresh in all of the dishes, which counts for a lot in my book. They include a few pieces of fresh fruit in the lunch special; that's a nice touch. Also, the portions are modest--you get enough but not too much. read more

I really liked the curry and the fried rice. So yummy. Take out only & they still require a mask FYI. Super friendly. Can't wait to come back. read more

Very good food and great customer service ! I went there this past Friday when I ordered carry out and when I went to pick it I didn't realize I left my debit card at home!! They did accept Apple Pay but for some reason it wasn't working on my phone and the owner said "don't worry pay me next time you're here"! How often do you hear that ?? For sure coming back to pay her next week and ordering another dish ! Spicy basil chicken here is delicious! read more

I love the Pad Thai and always get a side of peanut sauce as that is amazing as well. Super friendly staff - great place to pick up for an easy dinner. read more

The food was so bland and had 0 taste. I'm considering taking a covid test to make sure I haven't lost my sense of taste.

This place used to be good but has had quality issues since they moved from downtown Des Plaines. The food lacks taste and skimps on the meat. read more

All food ordered was AMAZING. Highly recommend. We ordered spring rolls. Perfect. Pad Thai with shrimp out standing. Pad- sewe with beef delicious and green curry with chicken. The portions were huge. Support them. Keep them in Des Plaines read more

I have a reverse commute from the city to Des Plaines. There's not much in this area besides chains so I was really happy when my friend introduced me to Thai Square. They have great deals on their lunch specials. I've had their pad thai, mixed vegetables, basil chicken, pad see ew, tom yum soup, and fried rice. Everything always has great flavor and is fresh. The lunch special comes with crispy egg rolls and half of an orange. I recommend asking for their complimentary hot sauce if you like some additional heat. They're also very sweet when you pick up your order. This is such a great little gem. read more

Thai Square - two trays of food on a table - Thai Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Great food and service. Their egg rolls were delicious and we got more than we realized came in an order. No complaints, just yummy food.

So disappointed. We hadn't tried the new take out location since the restaurant closed. The food is nothing like it was. The pad Thai was mushy noodles and a few bean sprouts no other veggie 5 shrimp thrown on top. Egg rolls with little in them. Eggplant Thai was okay but not spicy as requested. Pleasant service but won't be back. read more

First time visitor. Egg rolls were good. Mongolian Beef bland and no real flavor and enough for 1 person for lunch. To me it was not Mongolian Beef. 22.00 plus tip expensive for what I received. Ordered full order not a lunch special and portion received was like a lunch plate. First time and probably last time. read more

The food quality is good, however this is not my complaint. Before I order any food delivery, I read the menu ingredients in each dish. I need to know if they add anything that I do not like to eat. Today I ordered this: 11. Large Tom Kha Soup Spicy & sour with coconut milk marinated ground pork in chicken broth, baby bok choy and cilantro. Spicy. However, what I received was: TOMATO, ONION, MUSHROOM and RED BELL PEPPER! None of these items are listen in the menu ingredients! It is deceiving and highly irresponsible to serve a dish with ingredients that are not listed on the menu. UPDATE YOUR MENU with accurate descriptions. read more

Not worth the spend. The quality for the amount paid was not well. Teriyaki chicken was like unflavored rubber. I'd love to be refunded.

I was very disappointed in my meal. Pad woo sen was tasteless. It had a boiled feeling rather than stir fried. Not ordering from there again read more

Decent enough. I was happy to see this long time establishment got some help with their forced relocation. I went here ages ago when I was in the area and when I saw the move decided I had to try it again. About 22 dollars for pad Thai, drunken noodles and crab rangoon. Pad Thai wasn't the best but wasn't terrible. There wasn't much flavor to it and no lime wedge to kick it up a notch. I had to add some flavorings at home. Drunken noodles were flavorful. I ordered it medium heat and that was just hot enough for me. I'm into heat but don't want it to kill all the other flavors and this was just right. Crab rangoon are little in empanada shapes. 5 per order. Appreciated they cut a tiny hole in the corner of the container to let the steam escape rather than soggy them up. The quantity per item is x-large which is nice. I probably wouldn't order the pad Thai again but the drunken noodles yes. Don't forget to ask them for silverware and napkins for take out. I feel like they should do that automatically but they did not. read more

Their soup is incredible. I like all of it, but their wonton soup is the best I've ever had.

Almost perfect five stars. Pad Thai Chicken would be better with chopped peanuts, and cilantro, and wedges of lime. The Mongolian Beef was good, no grizzled beef. The sautéed Pot Stickers were perfect. read more

We came here recently on a Sunday not long before they closed. Still, they welcomed us to dine in. There were four of us and we all enjoyed our meals. I ordered dumplings and drunken noodles, one of my favorite Thai dishes. It was all excellent. As we were leaving around 9:30, another guest came in and they allowed her to order take out, even though it was past their closing time. I would definitely come back! read more

Been eating at Thai Square for years. Their old location was across the Des Plaines Metra & next to the Des Plaines theater. Since January 2019, they transferred to 1550 E. Oakton St., Des Plaines where American Wildburger used to be. The Good: + Delicious food + Affordable prices ($7.95 lunch special Mon to Fri) + Friendly service The Bad: - Not a place to dine in. See photos. "Dine in" consists of 2 tables for two, and a countertop that seats about five people overlooking Oakton Street. I miss the old restaurant where they had several tables/chairs. -Ambiance is now lost. There are only about 9 parking spaces on its lot. I parked next to the garbage can when I came by to pick up my order. Interior, as described, was not "eat in" inviting. The Verdict: I would order take out but not dine in. read more

Everything says they are open on Sunday, but we jest went to get food and it's dark. Disappointed; had my heart set on Thai food all day.

Maybe my eyes need to be checked but all the food was grey. Ordered crab Rangoon, crispy basil shrimp and pineapple fried rice. Very bland flavor, which is very unusual for Thai food and the "crispy" basil was as wet and soggy. Won't order from here again. Too many good alternatives in the area. read more

Took a bite of plastic while eating. Other than that the food tasted good and had good portions. read more

Thai Square - Shrimp fried rice - Thai Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Ordered take out here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered chicken pad Thai and crab ragoon. There are a few Thai places in my area that I'm not to keen on. The food was good here! The crab ragoon wasn't the greatest but it wasn't terrible. They provided large portions for the pad Thai. Will definitely be ordering here again! read more

Thai Square - Chicken pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

This is a great Thai option in Des Plaines! The food was flavorful and authentic. The value is great, and the portions were generous for its pricing (most entree items were priced around $8) We ordered the pad see ew, Thai fried rice, flaming beef, then egg and spring rolls. No complaints on the food, other than the flaming beef lacked some flavor. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

So glad this fine establishment has opened at it's new location. So much work converting the old Wild burger location. (Wild Burger next door now in a larger space). This Thai restaurant is welcoming and so delicious. Lunch specials really good too! They are closed every Tuesday. That starts the 2nd week in January 2019. Nice that the city of Desplaines gave some assistance with the move. Kudos to BRIAN, the Economic Development manager, you rock! read more

Visiting, dear son wanted Thai and this was close. Literally a one room operation but food is five stars. NOT your typical sugar-syrup soaked midwestern Thai! All entries were flavorful and spiced as ordered. Ordered off the lunch specials, cooked as we waited, not too long. Only two tables but we were able to take it home. read more

This was the worst food I've ever had! I wouldn't even call it Thai, the entree i ordered had no seasoning or flavor. The chicken was dried out & tasted like rubber. I attempted to doctor it up at home by adding my own seasoning, but ended up throwing it away. Such a disappointment & waste of money!!! Never again!!!! read more

Always good The curry's are spicy and delicious and the seafood is always fresh Most Thai restaurants have a small menu but not Thai square plenty to choose from read more

Well if you're stuck at the airport hotel and want to order Thai this is an option but, it's not great. Dry food, bland food, tasteless and without love. Don't bother. read more

Best thai food EVER! We got the chicken teriyaki and drunken noodles with chicken and it was amazing! the egg rolls were really good too!!!

Their Pad See Ew is literally my favorite meal to eat, ever. I highly recommend this place. They are fast with preparing it, and so so good.
