I usually really like this place so decided to try something new and decided to get the Pad kamio( hope I spelled that right) it states on menu and I was told when I ordered over the phone, it comes with shrimp and chicken. Well it came with chicken and in the photo you can see my one shrimp. That I didn’t care one lonely a*^ Shrimp. The staff is friendly and the food is great but that’s a fail when the dish cost reflects two proteins and you don’t actually receive that.
Small cozy restaurant , perfect for lunch but not for a big party! The food was very good and they got it ready in less than 10 min. Also the portions were pretty reasonable and the waitress were very nice and checking all the time. PS : Get the Ice Thai Latte , is delicious 🤤 I recommend this place ☺️
Just happened to spot this gem while heading to a completely different restaurant that happened to be closed, and thank God it was! The ambiance was upscale, yet everything was the perfect price! Staff were all friendly and attentive. Many healthy options, yet taste was not sacrificed. The cucumber salad was so flavorful, and the golden bags or crispy wonton was one of the best I've ever had. My chicken and vegetable entre was the perfect portion. My husband loved the spicy pad kimao and the mango Panna cotta was a delicious light dessert. Will definitely be coming here often!
Lai Thai Restaurant is a lunch spot that should never be missed. So, calling all people who love Thai food visit! Ha, let me get into it! The food and LTR is in my top 5 Thai restaurants in Illinois! The food quality is amazing and the flavor is the closest to Thai food that I have had. Or at least there is what I think. Can’t go wrong with the pad Thai! The service is great, waitresses check in often and are able to give recommendations. The atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, really is laid back back anyone can feel comfortable ordering food. The color scheme of the restaurant is vibrant really and I personally like it. Overall, one of the best Thai spots that is small business owned where the food has a personality of its own! You can’t go wrong giving LTR a try!
