Taste of Thai

Great dining experience! The food was so good and friendly service. Never had Curry Puffs before. Soo delicious. Kind of like a Samosa but a Thai version...and the little cucumber side with it has a super tasty sauce. Different from the cucumber salad. We also enjoyed the chicken stay, which was tender, Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken Crazy Noodles. Definitely coming back!

Came for the lunch special. I ordered chicken pad thai, rice soup, and crab rangoon. DELICIOUS!! The food came out freshly stir fried. The crab rangoon are fat with meat and cream. The soup was just big enough to be a great appetizer. Service is great while not hovering. The restaurant itself is clean & tidy. I will be going out of my way to drop by for lunch in the future!

I Specifically requested to this restaurant's waitress who pretended she fully understood my request to prepare my rice NOT STICKY OR GUMMY! I told her 4 times! I am so tired of waitresses pretending to understand customers' requests when they have no idea what you're saying. The rice I ordered here was very sticky gummy and the Basil Fried Rice with extra tasteless shrimp was hard and no seasoning. I taste no Basil in this mashed potatoes fried rice. I did not order sticky rice! Why call it Fried Rice if the darn rice is not fried! I spent $20 just for an order of rice to throw in the trash immediately after tasting it! I would not recommend this restaurant regardless of how many good reviews you read. I will continue to repost this review repeatedly. I want to be FULLY refunded! I Googled how to prepare unsticky gummy rice: To prevent rice from becoming gummy and sticky, the key is to thoroughly rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch, use the correct water-to-rice ratio, and avoid overcooking; if your rice is already too sticky, you can try spreading it out on a baking sheet and reheating it in the oven to dry it out a bit. Key steps to prevent gummy rice: Rinse thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the rice in cold water several times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch that contributes to stickiness. Use the right water ratio: Follow the recommended water-to-rice ratio for your specific type of rice. Generally, less water is needed to prevent mushiness. Don't overcook: Cook the rice until just tender, avoiding prolonged cooking which can lead to a gummy texture. How to fix already gummy rice: Spread and reheat: Spread cooked rice in a single layer on a baking sheet and reheat in a low oven to dry it out slightly. Fluff with a fork: After cooking, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains Taste of Thai LEARN FROM THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO PROPERLY PREPARE NON-GUMMY RICE!! Darn it!

I live in Peoria where we have no Thai food so when we up in the Chicago area we searched for a Thai restaurant that had yellow curry. This was THE place! The yellow curry was fantastic! My husband had the panang curry and loved it. They didn’t ask us spice level like some Thai places do but they nailed it. It wasn’t too spicy and we really enjoyed the flavour. We also enjoyed the Pad Thai, crab Rangoon, egg rolls and my daughter loved the fried rice. Thai iced tea was delicious as was my all time favourite dessert, mango with sticky rice! Service was great! Very attentive and polite. We will definitely make the drive up to eat here again.

This was my first visit, and I’m not very familiar with Thai food. When we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and we were seated. The tables were clean, but the walls had splatters of food and could use a wipe. We ordered a thick noodle dish similar to pad Thai. Initially, it tasted good but was on the sweet side. However, as I continued eating, the sweetness became overwhelming and made me lose my appetite. By the end of the meal, I felt nauseous. Perhaps that’s just the way the dish is, but it was too sweet for my taste. On a positive note, the service was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I’d rate them A+ for service.
