I was in Chicago on business in May, and I love Thai food. I went to Coo Thai Cuisine, and loved it. The restaurant was spotless, and neat. The staff was wonderful, I asked what she recommended, and she suggested the golden shrooms and also the short ribs, it was delicious! The owner stopped by to check and see how everything was. This is clearly a secret gem, that I stumbled across! And so happy I did! read more

Stopped in for dinner after touring downtown Chicago. Wow what a freat spot, friendly staff, quick service, clean and delicious food. We did a half cubs roll along with a hawks roll. Both were really good. We also had an appetizer of the fried chicken wings with sweat and sour sauce. Piping jot and super crunchy. For the main course I went with the pepper steak. The steak was good quality not the chewy stuff you get at some other places, great flavor. My wife did the ginger chicken and she loved it. Our friends went with pad Thai and chicken curry. They loved it. Staff was great kept us in food as we were finishing off the appetizers. Clean inside, nice decor. Can tell they take pride in their food being fresh and having great taste. read more

If you're looking for great Thai food in the south Loop... look no farther. Amarit Thai was recommended from the concierge at the Blake Hotel.. What a wonderful recommendation. When we arrived, it was not busy for a Monday night. We had the sampler as a starter: Crab Rangoon, chicken, potstickers, chive dumpling, shrimp cake. We were not disappointed with the sampler, and we were quite surprised by the chive dumplings. I've never had that before, and it was quite good. The sampler was served with both a sweet sauce and a soy sauce to complement the flavors. The appetizer was very filling, so we decided to split a Chicken Pad Thai, the portions were large and quite satisfying for two. The rice noodles peanuts sprouts, and chicken was right on target. This was a quite good Pad Thai. We decided on medium spice and for myself it was a good balance of flavor and spice, however, for my wife, it was slightly hotter than she would normally have ordered. But she said it was still delicious. To complement dinner, I had a "Chang Thai beer". I would recommend it as it is a crisp, well balanced light lagger. Our waitress, "Pomm" was attentive and delightful to talk with. We would highly recommend, Amarit Thai. read more

From the outside, it's an unassuming place and I passed by it many times without really noticing. But Inside it's lovely! It's spacious, pristine, quiet, and relaxed. Friendly and attentive service. I appreciated the variety of Thai dishes and sushi options. I enjoyed the rainbow roll. My Thai iced tea was delicious. My boyfriend enjoyed his duck entree. We also had the fresh spring rolls as our appetizers. Very tasty and fresh. The tofu inside was very flavorful. We'll definitely come back and try some other things. read more

A nice, quiet Thai restaurant with quite an extensive menu. I definitely will be making this my take out place for Thai food in the loop / downtown area however I do not think I will be dining in much. Overall, the service seemed rush and our server seemed to be getting impatient which made the dinner a little less enjoyable. The food was good, but could have been better as I had asked for spicy fried rice and gave a scale for reference but they still came out standard. The rest seemed to be pretty good authentic Thai food. Price can be a little steep for some of the dishes. Hoping to go back and try some more dishes some time. read more

Amarit Thai & Sushi - Fried Rice chicken - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Needed a late dinner arriving into town on a bitterly cold night. We were the only people in the place when we arrived, but a couple of other groups arrived after us. I had the green curry, which was average. My companion had a veggie soup which they said was very good. The vibe was weird as they clearly wanted to close and go home so we felt sorta rushed out the door. But it was good. If you are staying at Hotel Blake, this place is worth considering for dine in or take out. read more

My new go-to spot! Cucumber salad was so fresh and crisp. Peanut sauce is delish with their chicken satay skewers. Chicken dumplings and pad thai were great as well! Service was fast and friendly. Place was nice and clean - no issues read more

Amarit Thai & Sushi - Tom Yum Soup - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food here has always been consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. The flavors are well developed, everything tastes fresh, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. Every visit feels reliable, and that goes a long way. The space itself is calm and comfortable, making it a nice spot to sit down and actually enjoy a meal without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. It's the kind of place you can count on when you're craving solid Thai food.Service is generally fine, though it can feel a bit uneven at times. Nothing that completely ruins the experience, but there's room for improvement on the hospitality side. Overall, the quality of the food keeps this place in my regular rotation. With slightly more consistent service, it would easily be a full five stars. read more

Food is amazing for the area and resources available. Service is very rude and dismissive. Food makes up for it. read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Amarit Thai & Sushi is a hidden gem in Chicago that never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, the cozy yet elegant atmosphere and warm greeting from the staff make you feel right at home. The food is next-level. The Pad Thai is perfectly balanced -- tangy, sweet, and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of crunch from the peanuts. The Drunken Noodles (spicy basil stir-fry) have that addictive kick that keeps you coming back. On the sushi side, everything is impossibly fresh: the Spicy Tuna Crunch Roll and the Rainbow Roll are works of art, and the fish literally melts in your mouth. The Tom Yum soup is one of the best I've ever had -- bright, aromatic, and soul-warming. Portions are generous, prices are very fair for the quality, and the service is genuinely attentive without being overbearing. Whether you're craving authentic Thai or top-tier sushi (or both on the same plate!), Amarit nails it every single time. I've been coming here for years and it's still my #1 recommendation when friends visit Chicago. Do yourself a favor and go -- you'll leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit! read more

I visited the restaurant and was deeply concerned about the lack of hygiene professional standard. During my visit, I observed issues, e.g., staff handling food without gloves, going here and there not washing hands. The dining area was also poorly maintained e.g., tables were sticky and utensils were visibly dirty. Furthermore, the service was unprofessional, when I brought these to the concerns to the employee's attention, the response was dismissive/rude. Even they treat the door dash, Uber and other drivers very rude and unprofessional mannered. Given these serious health concerns and poor management, I can not recommend this establishment. read more

Really enjoyed our meal here! The menu has a great mix of Thai favorites and sushi options, which makes it perfect for groups who like variety. The dishes were flavorful and fresh -- the pad thai was delicious, and the sushi rolls were nicely prepared with good texture and presentation. Portions were generous too. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable. It's a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner in the South Loop. read more

Okay-ish food. Very poor customer service! Very very poor and rude behavior by the server. Like she was trying to rush our order, served cold food, and picked up plates right exactly after we were done eating. After finishing lunch, we sat for a couple of minutes talking, she kept giving us side-eye and that look to push us out of there. Okay-ish ambience, nothing that will make you go "wow". Won't recommend this place. Will not revisit here. read more

Outstanding as usual !! Excellent service, food is great My go-to neighborhood dinner place read more

Taking yoga training on Michigan Avenue. This is a bit of a walk but definitely worth it. The food is always top-notch delicious clean healthy and the atmosphere is nice too. If you want to sit and eat your food inside money well spent always left. Feeling great. remember, it is a type restaurant so if you have peanut allergies, always mention no peanuts or peanut oil. They will accommodate you if they can. Somethings are made ahead of time so they cannot do it for everything but again this is downtown Chicago. Most places can accommodate reasonably please be considerate of the time when you call as they might have a lot of orders at one time, they're really good about getting orders out quickly and accurately. read more

The massaman curry with chicken is absolute perfection. I always go here intending to try something new, but I wind up ordering the same thing every time because it really is that good. read more

I don't like sushi or Thai food. The smell of the food is an issue. My nose is not use to strange things or flavors. Only American foods. The service is interesting. I've visited a couple of places with my caregiver within the past six years. I still have the same problem. I have a few associates who rave about the food and I try Shrimp fried rice just to break the ice. I prefer Chinese (SFR). I wasn't rude so my bought it and my caregiver had a nice experience. The last thing I ordered was fried shrimp. The shrimp was only battered and sent my table. I asked the waiter for a carry out. I rinsed the the batter off the shrimp. Then fried it with my American spices. read more

We got the hot fried curry, drunken noodles (ordered it hot spice level it was perfect not too spicy), hawks sushi roll, spicy tuna maki, maguro nigiri and coconut pudding. I am a picky girly in terms of being impressed by food and this place blew my mind. Every single item we got was amazing (like SO good) and we even got it take out so that says a lot. Sushi was the best I've had in South Loop, very fresh and flavorful. Service was kind and quick. I would 10000% recommend this place to everyone! read more

Door dashed Pad Thai and Yellow Curry. It was a good portion size and freshly made. It was also a good heat temp. Not to spicey and very yummy. Would totally order again! A pleasant surprise. read more

Fresh food & fast service. We ordered Cucumber Salad which was excellently marinated. Crying Tiger Steak sauce was delicious. Steak was served ready to cut. Rice with the dish went well with all. Pad Khee Mao was very tasty. Pad See Ew cooked perfectly. Chicken was tender, noodles & veggies fantastic. I remember the old location on Clark 20+ years ago. Glad to see them still serving deliciousness now in south loop. read more

Takeout order was amazing. The Curry chicken was piping hot and delicious. The spicy noodles were my personal favorite. Also the best south loop sushi I've had by far. I will be back, this was spectacular, must try! Be sure try the coconut pudding. read more

The sushi rolls are massive. Service was fast as well. Ate there on Valentine's day and the food was out so fast.

I most definitely recommend going elsewhere for Thai food. I ate dinner here tonight for Christmas. My food, tofu pad Thai, tasted fine. However, luckily, I had less than a five minute walk home, as I barely made it. I got sick immediately after getting home. I wound up with food poisoning from this place, so I cannot recommend at all. Service was also not very friendly. read more

Food was great, service was excellent. I came back to Chicago the following week and I ordered from this place again. This will be added to my rotation anytime im in Chicago. The owners were so pleasant and the restaurant was nice. So glad I went here based on yelp reviews, so I needed to leave one too! read more

Best Irish pub in Chicago... mad beers, great service. Hot woks, cool sushi. Lovely atmosphere outside, highly recommend.

Takeout order: Shrimp Pad Khee Mao (3.5/5) and Fried Bananas (4.5/5) The Shrimp Pad Khee Mao was spicy and had tons of heat as I wanted it to be since I ordered it to have the Hot spice level. I think the quantity of shrimp could have been more generous since you are paying a premium on it too. The noodles were well prepared and not mushy by the time they got home which was a bonus. I would've the stir fried noodles to be a little saucier since they were on the drier side. The Fried Bananas were great. It was essentially a thin phyllo pastry wrapped around a banana with some coconut cream and cream cheese inside, and came with a side of honey to dunk the roll in to give it an added sweetness to cut through the savory-ness of the cream cheese filling inside. I was really pleasantly surprised by this as it was incredibly delicious. read more

Pim was so funny and energetic food was really good. I got pad see ew and it was good and even the customers were nice

We got a to go order, rice and chicken soup and an order of pineapple stir fry. Both were delicious and enough for lunch and dinner. And the service was friendly. We would order from here again. read more

Pad see ew is phenomenal. It appears to be an average sized portion, yet it feels bottomless! Both times I've gotten it, it took about 1.5 hours to consume, which is great. It's almost magical because it feels like the laws of matter are being violated with the dish. Typically, when matter is displaced from a plate into the digestive system, the matter in/on the plate appears to dissipate. This is not the case with the pad see ew. Thank you for your attention to this matter! read more

I do not even have a yelp account, but I made one specifically for this place. Just ordered food there today and it's so good i'm reviewing it while eating. Service was so fast and they were extremely nice. We ordered to go and they still gave us waters while we waited at the front. The food is the best sushi i've had in Chicago. I cannot stress it enough that every single thing we ordered was perfect. The ingredients are fresh and the ratios within their sushi rolls are spot on. They did a great cucumber salad, while still adding a twist to make it their own. I also had the crispiest shrimp roll i've ever had and mango sticky rice that was to die for. You will have to drag my body away from this place because I will 100% be back again. read more

Walkable distance after doing the architectural boat tour. Needed a place that had vegan food for my daughter. There was only one other table occupied when we got there and only one came as we were leaving. Atmosphere was pretty blah and the server sure didn't make us feel welcome. We all thought our food was ok, not GREAT but with so many places to eat I probably wouldn't go back here. read more

Love it. Great service and great food! I've never actually eaten in store, the order is always correct.

I haven't had any opportunity to visit this location in years but my server (the owner) gently reminded me of her previous location in Chicago's Coast on Dearborn Street and immediately my memory was jarred. This particular location is convenient if you live in Printer's Row (South Loop) and the menu is diverse featuring traditional Thai curry dishes, noodle entrees, wonderful soup and various seafood options including sushi and sashimi. I chose the seafood soup which is primarily broth, mushrooms, mussels, shrimp, squid and a variety of onions and lemongrass. If you're not feeling well I highly recommend you order their specialty soups because you'll instantly feel better because of all the ginger and other herbs used that make these broths so flavorful. Another must is ordering the Thai ice teas and Thai iced coffee it's one of the best in Chicago and tasty like a dessert. The restaurant itself is cozy and laid back with plenty of booths by the window if you enjoy people watching. I remember visiting here in the summer years ago and enjoying outdoor patio seating so I hope they bring that back this summer so I can relax outside with my mountain dog If you love Thai cuisine in a non fussy setting you will definitely appreciate this independently owned family restaurant. read more
