This restaurant has recently undergone a change in ownership, which has led to alterations in some of their recipes. While previously known for its flavorful and well-balanced dishes, some customers have expressed concerns about the new recipes, particularly regarding the Pad Thai. Complaints include a lack of flavor, an imbalance of meat to noodle ratio, clumped noodles, and minimal vegetables. Additionally, some customers feel that specific requests, such as extra spiciness, are not being met.

However, prior to the ownership change, Chai Asian Bistro was highly regarded for its authentic Thai dishes. Customers praised the "athletic" Pad Thai, especially with chicken and shrimp, and the delicious fish. The restaurant was also commended for its authentic Thai offerings, including chicken satay, chive dumplings, Pad see ew, Lad nar, and Boat noodle soup with extra beef balls. Customers who are Thai themselves expressed satisfaction with the authenticity of the food.

  • Pad Thai (recipe recently changed)

Update!. New owner which means new recipe. I tasted it today, it's plain no flavor wheres the tamarind sauce, not a balance of meat to noddle ratio, noddles pasted together, minimum vegetables. I asked for extra spicy. Did not follow instruction orders. Paid $30 for 2 lunch special thinking it was the original owner. Sadly back search for a balance of flavor spicy and sweet pad Thai. Don't taste the love!. No longer my favorite place. Delightful athletic pad Thai, had chicken shrimp. Also their fish is delicious too. I'm a regular now.

I just went to Chai Asian Bisto last night for dinner with my cousin who visited from Austin, Texas. We are Thai and I have to say the foods there were beyond our expectations, we had chicken satay, chive dumplings, Pad see ew, Lad nar and Boat noodle soup with extra beef balls (not in their regular menu). My cousin was very happy to eat delicious authentic Thai foods in Chicago and we definitely will go back there again.

Ordered delivery, tamarind tilapia. Amazing, arrived still crispy. Sauce isnt too overpowering, smelled and and tasted deliciously. Crab rangoon was just as tasty.

Disappointing. Have been going to and ordering from Chai for 20+ years. Placed a large order ($200) for delivery (had guests that wanted Thai food before they went to O’Hare for a flight). Online delivery confirmation said find would arrive by 6:30 pm which would have given plenty of time for my guests to have dinner before the flight. When food did not arrive by 7pm we called and were not given an answer about when the food would arrive. Food arrived after 7:30 pm —by that time my guests had left. In addition, we were shorted an item we paid for…when we called they said they would refund the amount but never did. Food was mediocre at best. Definitely not the quality of Chai in the past.
