This is our go to restaurant for "Great Thai" several times per week. We can always count on consistent Thai food, no matter what we order. This is a hidden gem in South Elgin, that I hope never changes. read more

Accidentally ordered from Thai Town in South Elgin thinking it was the place just down the road- but it turned out to be a happy mistake! Even with the 20-minute drive to pick up my order, it was completely worth it. Best Thai food I've had in a long time. read more

The food is great but they have reduced the portion size substantially for take out. I added my protein of shrimp. Additional $3.00 for 3 shrimp in my order. All the dishes have small amounts of whatever protein. Too bad, I'm looking for a new Thai place. read more

Ordered Cashew Shrimp (upcharge) and as tasty as it was I won't be ordering again with only 4 shrimp. I don't know what an acceptable amount of shrimp would be, but it's not 4. This would not fill up an adult's an entree. I'd say at a minimum 6 but probably 8 for the price. Ground Chicken Basil Leaves is delicious but VERY spicy and it doesn't even mention spicy in description (there are ground chili peppers so a kick was expected). read more

Came across this restaurant on the whim and I was pleasantly surprised by their food and prices. I ordered delivery, so I can't speak on the dine in experience, but food was packaged well and came warm. I thought overall the portion sizes were generous for the low prices. I ordered pad eggplant, pad Thai, and pad khee mao, all including a protein of choice. Food was overall slightly blander than most, but I prefer food that's less salty! read more

Food is incredible, the people are nice....egg rolls are great chicken dumplings are great

Rude staff, food is not very good. And the prices are ridiculous. They don't mention about the upcharges. The lady asked med what kind of meat I wanted with my entrees. Turns out they charge for meat separately on their menu items. I paid $60 for a few entrees and drinks and not even a good bye as I walked out of the door. Horrible. read more

On Google, it does say they open at 12pm on Sunday. But it turned out the opening hour is at 11:30am, as on other weekdays. It looks like a sweet "mom and pop" style restaurant. They have a cute garden and little tables outside and inside. The lady in the entrance was friendly. Our orders: Drink Ramune soda Thai iced coffee Entree Green curry (rice dish) Pad Lard Nar (wide noodle dish) Ramune was refreshing, I liked the plain one. Thai iced coffee - 5 stars It looks a little cheap in the plastic cup, but the coffee itself had a really strong and bitter punch! Also sweetness and thick cream balance the flavor really well. I loved it. Very refreshing drink in early afternoon. Green curry - 5 stars I have carried a craving for Thai green curry for a few months. This order absolutely satisfied my expectation. It was not super spicy. First, it felt very gentle, but the herbs and coconut flavor piled up as I went on. Especially fresh Thai basil and mint leaves randomly show up in my mouth, which pleasantly surprised me. And the best part of this dish was eggplant. It melt in your mouth like very-well-cooked pork, and changed the flavor mixing with the sauce. Pad Lard Nar - 5 stars I have never had or heard of this name before. But this ended up being the meal of the day! They used thick sticky rice noodles. I think they deep-fried (maybe stir fried in high temperature oil?) the noodle then put them into their special sauce. So that created crunchy texture outside and soft inside. A lot of vegetables inside too. We tried vegetarian style this time, but you can choose a protein for texture too. Very much recommended! So my total experience here was 5 stars. If you wanna try some Thai dishes which are not too spicy. You can find great products with various flavors here! read more

The owner/staff there are always really friendly! The food comes out piping hot and they never skimp on your dish. I come here with my sister almost once every week cause their pad thai is so good, great in both spicy and regular. I've also had their crab meat fried rice and I give it a 9/10!! I've been eating at thai town for a few months and I keep coming back. I highly highly recommend their pad thai! read more

Delicious food and I continue to try different dishes. All curry dishes are top notch. It seems to be a possible family business and the food is better when the more experienced chef(s) prepare the food. Service with a warm smile too. read more

This is mostly a take out place but they do have 3 tables inside and a couple more outside. Parties over 4 persons cannot dine in. We did dine in and it is very cute and cozy with great service. The food was delicious and I believe very authentic. No alcohol is served here but they have a wide variety of delicious smoothies along with soft drinks and Thai standards. Our group went with the smoothies and everyone enjoyed them. read more

We favor the small business so we went to Thai Town. The food was good but the portions were small and asking for water I was given bottled water and charged $2.25. I get that it costs them to serve water but give me the news when I order not surprises. No one likes surprises. The outside was messy with flower pots and other items strewn about. Perhaps it wasn't fully put away from last fall but it does make an impression regardless. read more

Thai town has been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember! It's been a Thursday tradition that I've kept going with my boyfriend. The food is ALWAYS delicious and fresh and leaves everyone excited for the bext time we order it. A few household favorites are the pad thai, thai fried rice, yellow curry, etc. Highly recommend supporting this business and trying out my recs!! read more

We get takeout every Thursday from thai town and it's THE BEST. Their pad thai and chicken fried rice, I would die for. The sweetest people run that place too and I hope it stays around forever. read more

Food is absolutely delicious! i love the Pad thai and Pad see eiw, as well as the Thai fried rice! The 2 dollar upcharge for the shrimp is absolutely worth it if you are a shrimp lover. Service is lovely whenever I dine in. The new decorations are so nice and relaxing. read more

Take out only. Very real authentic Thai food. The nice, elderly ladies cook everything from scratch!!!

Great food a bit pricey but well worth it. We did pick up and were very happy with the freshness

This place has great food, everything Ive had has been great. They are always nice and the place looks cool and has a nice ambiance.

Fabulous food! 4 stars only because portion size was a bit small for the price. I got crab fried rice which was savory and delicious but not greasy and the pad see ew with chicken which was seasoned just right. I will definitely be ordering again soon! read more

I love this small, family-owned place! Very authentic and delicious Thai food, which isn't easy to find in the suburbs. If you're looking for a place to try some good Pad Thai noodles for the first time, this is the place! Their Thai soups and appetizers are also very tasty! I think I ordered from this place every other week during 2020, because 1. I love Thai food and 2. I wanted to support family owned small businesses as much as possible. I notice that a lot of the negative reviews on these sites are from people expecting Chinese food or thinking that all "Asian" food is the same. Thai food is a unique and delicious cuisine on its own, and nothing like Chinese food. You wouldn't order a taco at McDonald's just because they had it on the menu, right? Try some of the amazing Thai dishes that they have here and see if your opinions change! :) read more

Absolutely the best chicken pad Thai. Also enjoy the crab Rangoon's and pot stickers. Food always fresh and delicious. The staff there is awesome. Good ol grandma always working in the kitchen read more

Ordered some moo ping, egg rolls, chicken pad woon sen and beef mongolian. All was very tasty and highly recommend Thai Town. read more

The Pad Thai was really good and they were priced average for the amount they give you

Absolutely horrible. Will never go back. The onions in the fried rice were not even cooked and the dish had no flavor. The beef in the curry noodle dish was grey. Could not even eat more then 2 bites read more

Everyone stop ordering from this place! I haven't ordered in a while & they have cut their containers in half! Charging more for less. Even the large soup containers are smaller. The Tom Kha was more like onion soup. I get things cost more these days but this was truly ridiculous. When you pay for a gallon of gas you're not paying more for less! Do better Thai Town. You're a rip off!! I will never order from you again. read more

So delicious! Love supporting local and would be a 5 though I feel prices went up and portions went down with the pandemic, I could see one but not both. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. I was a little disappointed at first, the egg rolls and crab rangoon were good, but nothing special. Then I hit the main dishes we ordered. I tried a bit of the sesame chicken, a little pad mixed veggies with beef, and then focused on the Szechuan chicken. The sesame chicken was really tasty, the beef itself was wonderfully delightful, but I thought the highlight of my meal was the Szechuan chicken. What stood out to me is how well the flavor carried through, the meat, veggies, and even rice that I topped with each dish all melded well together to make it incredibly satisfying. This may be the pandemic talking as we haven't eaten out a lot, but mmm-mmm good. Also, they deliver to a pretty broad range which makes it very convenient. read more

Ordered their Mongolian beef lunch special. Came out to like $14. Opened it up and it was the smallest portion I've ever gotten from any place. Looked like a kids meal. read more

Very pricey for the portion sizes. Lobby was dirty. I loved this place when it was on Randall rd. I won't be back. There are better Thai restaurants in the area. Ta Wan Thai Restaurant at Algonquin Commons is very good. read more

Delicious food! Wonderful service! I would definitely recommend this place if you like authentic Thai food.

Ordered carry out. Crab Rangoon and egg rolls were great. The two of us each got pad Thai and paid $2 extra for shrimp as our protein. We both only got four shrimp in our bowls. No veges or even a green onion. read more

Excellent Thai! Love the food here. Never disappointed in the numerous visits. Our new favorite is the Pad Thai w/ground chicken. Very tasty and better with the ground meat. Spring rolls are lovely. Thai iced tea is super. Hard to resist coming every day. I love this place!!! Come here you will be ple read more

Thai Town - Very sweet planting's and decorations here besides great food. I love them! - Thai Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

Placed order with Door dash from this restaurant. I placed an order for three items and two items were wrong. I ordered Tom Kha with shrimp and paid extra for it. Instead I received it with chicken. I ordered Panang Noodles and received a chicken mixed with peppers with a small box of rice on the side. It definitely was not panang noodles. When I called the restaurant, the lady on the phone was extremely rude and said she can't do anything. Then she told me to come over to get corrected item's. I can not drive. I am on a very strong pain medication due to very serious illness. I can not drive. That was the main reason why the order was placed with Door Dash. She then told me she will refund $2 and hang up. Please do not ever order from this place. So sad how they treat their customers. I will never ever order from this place again. Hopefully, my review will be useful for other customers in making their choices. read more

Thai Town - Tom Kha with Shrimp that turned out to be chicken - Thai Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

The food is tasty, we did take out of multiple dishes. All were flavorful and well prepared. But the portion size was small relative to the price of each dish. A little disappointing on the value. read more

There were a few things to take in account on why I am reviewing this. I give this place 2 stars and that's being generous and me being a small business owner myself. I always support small businesses especially during the pandemic. First thing is I ordered Pad lard Na, A wide noodle dish with broccoli and beef and brown gravy. Instead I received pad Thai. The pad Thai was ok not too much meat but there's peanuts in there and my boyfriend could not eat it cause he is ALLERGIC The packaging was not good. I ordered soup, curry, noodle dish and chicken satay with two box of rice. Everything was shoved in one bag and some of the soup spilled. All over the bag and the napkins were soaked. I didn't report to Uber eats right away instead I called the restaurant and talked to a woman to see what we can do. I expressed that I got the wrong order and she basically told me there was nothing she was going to do for my troubles because the owners were not there. She also got a little sassy and asked me what I would want her to do... She didn't apologize, just offered to make a new one but said I would have to pick the order up. Uber eats was made for A reason .. I am not driving no where if I pay extra to have or delivered. I just took the loss. On a positive note the item I did like are the yellow curry. For a suggestion please be kind to your patrons because that is the main reason someone will even come to yeleven write this long of a review.. kindness matters read more

The crab fried rice is a household favorite. The green and panang curries are also pretty darn tasty. You can tell that this restaurant is pretty authentic and has been around for a long time. read more

I have thought every time I eat from here that I'm going to post about them and then I get in food coma and forget. Sooo... I stopped to rate this place a 10/10 and tell y'all if you're in the area or even willing to have consistent flavors bursting with every bite then you must check them out! We've ordered from here now 3 times and every time is just as delicious. The family feel they give you when you walk in their building and moms best recipes put to work (yes mom was back there cooking) is done with such gratitude and appreciation and that to me goes a long way. I no longer search for "just any place" to get Thai food at. This place is always top choice! Thank you for the wonderful meals and always warm welcome. read more

We ordered from them on UberEats. I wish I had read the reviews here before ordering. The food came real quickly which was nice. But.. just exactly as other reviewers mentioned, the portions are small, and barely had any meat in our dishes. They are too cheap that they didn't give us any utensils when we requested for them. Literally just one napkin. We ordered Pad Thai with BARELY any beef. It was decent. Not the best. Not the worst. We also got the Tom Yum soup and it had too much onions! Barely any chicken as well. Then we got the simdum appetizer and pangang (yellow) curry. It was okay, the curry was too watery, almost zero flavors to it. Again, there was barely any chicken. Will never order from them again. They are cheapskates. read more

They're a bit onion happy at Thai Town. And onions don't neccesarily make me happy. You'll find at least half a large onion in each dish which doesn't allow much room for the actual dish itself. Portions here are small to begin with. Their Tom Yum soup had a great kick to it with a great mix of cilantro, straw mushrooms, & tofu...not too spicy & just sour enough. Beef salad (nam tok)wasn't the best I've had (see Rosded review). Beef was hard to chew and could have used a touch more heat, lime, and fish sauce. My sister loves Thai Town. Then again, my sister's never lived in the city and had the pleasure of authentic, flavorful, and cheap Thai food! read more
