Hidden gem on Green street. The store front is not facing Green street but in a corridor. I drove up and down Green and I had to go and walk to find this place. There are a handful of tables inside to enjoy. Menu is on the board and a small sign for heat (1-5 spicy. I recommend 2). I love the pad thai and pad sew ew here with heat level 2. I tried spicy level 3 and it was too spicy for me. Large portions for $13 and thai Ice tea with less cream was perfect. Highly recommend and these trained chefs was very quick to prepare the dishes and delicious. read more

The very best Thai food in this universe! & university It's always busy and there's a wait but the wait is worth it. Customer service is fast and most of it is do it yourself. They give you to go containers for everything. It's only when you order soup they give you a bowl but everything is container. The place could use a facelift but then again I guess the look makes one feel like you're in Bangkok. The ambience is chill and fast and busy but bc it's all students. The students are all to themselves and were nice. read more

Pad Se Ew was so underwhelming. The spice level doesn't matter for taste either the heat adds nothing to the food except a bad time in the bathroom. At least the curry is good but way too pricey. read more

Guy up front told me a spice level 2 was hot so I had to do it to him and got extra spice on the side. Very spicy but so good that I kept on eating it read more

Friendly staff. Quick to-go service. The panang curry was delicious!! Spice level 1-6; 3 was a little spicier than I expected but that's ok, it forced me to drink more water. Definitely recommend. read more

The food was good and reasonably priced for the Champaign-Urbana area. Service was very fast, making it a great option for grab-and-go or for a quick sit-down meal if you're short on time. read more

One of my favorite places to eat on the UIUC campus!! I recommend getting any of the noodle dishes here (I recommend getting the pad se-ew). The rice noodles are super fresh, and I love how the vegetables are still crunchy! Love this place! read more

For a fast food like restaurant this is pretty good. The food that is. Curry was delicious as was the vegetarian entree. The cleanliness was questionable though and the cleaning staff had a poor attitude giving nasty looks and throwing things around. I would go again to take out food but not to eat there. read more

A great and fast Thai food restaurant near campus! They serve in a very fast speed, with a pretty friendly attitude. The dining environment might be not so cozy because of the kitchen fumes, but there're sufficient seats and clean tables. I ordered the Pad Thai, and it tasted so delicious! And I didn't get extremely thirsty after this meal (which may mean they didn't add excessive ingredients for making it tasty hahaha). The prices are reasonable as well! Overall, it looks like a popular restaurant for students from different regions in the world! read more

At least the dish does not suit me, it's too sweet and not the Thai food in my memory

I enjoyed the egg rolls, the texture was just right with that sweet chili sauce! More of that please! The pad chicken Thai is also tasty and full of crushed peanuts! My ultimate why for returning: the delicious panang curry! 3 is spicy, it will kick you in the back of your throat, but it is delicious! Minus a star for the disappointment of having regular white rice vs jasmine rice! Jasmine rice would truly complement the full flavors of this dish! Please.fix.it read more

The food tasted amazing and was made quickly. They made one of our orders spicier than the rest of our orders even though we all ordered the same spice level. The food still tasted amazing. read more

Bangkok Thai is a place on campus I find myself going back to time and time again. It has a great location on Green St. and gives generous portions for relatively cheap prices. It definitely gets crowded around dinner, so don't expect to easily find a table if you're in a group. I usually prefer to take my food to go anyway, as the place can sometimes feel cramped with so many people and backpacks everywhere. They provide small to-go cups for hoisin sauce and sriracha also. The pad thai is great here, and you get a lot of it for the price. While it's nothing fancy, it's delicious and the noodles themselves are always cooked well. I'll usually get a spice level of 5 and that'll be enough to get a little bit of a kick without it being overwhelming. The panang curry is a great alternative for when I don't feel like eating noodles. It's very flavorful and has a mild coconut smell to it. Unfortunately there's not that much curry for the price, but it's still satisfying. read more

Bangkok Thai and Pho 911 - Panang curry spice level 4 - Thai Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

I ordered entree ginger beef with a spicy level of 4 out of 6. It is the worst dish I have ever ate. 1. The beef is thick and hard to chew. 2. The beef is not marinated so only the surface has some flavor. 3 the whole dish is too spicy that I choked and teared from the start to finish. It made me so uncomfortable. 4. The marble tables are so greasy that you can tell that they were not cleaned for many days. Don't order anything beef at this restaurant. They don't know how to prepare and make beef tender and tasty. A total failure. read more

Just picked up lunch today and there was a huge, black hair in one of my spring rolls!! The people making the food need to make sure they are wearing hair nets, or anything to keep the food cleaner. This is gross! Also, I had vegetable Pad Thai and it was dry and the noodles were overcooked and ripping apart but it was hard to eat because they were glued together like a brick of noodles. I ended up throwing half of my food away. This whole experience was a huge disappointment and waste of my money and time. I will not go back! read more

I have lived very close to Bangkok Thai for the last eight months, and I was randomly craving Thai and didn't want to drive far and put in an order of crab Rangoon, pho, and a Thai tea. It was absolutely amazing!! it's been extremely hard to find tasty authentic food here, but I found jackpot! I love bringing my family here:) read more

Ended up here with a coworker. I'm a travel nurse so not too familiar with the area. She saw that this place had good reviews so we decided to try it out. I have been to Thailand 3x and this food was AMAZING. Simply delicious. The spice was just right for my basil chicken and j ended up having some of my friend's basil fried rice and that was delicious as well. The Thai ice tea was perfect as well. Can't wait to come back and try the mango sticky rice along with a few other Thai favorites of mine. read more

I love this place! It always hits he spot on a cold day, or when you need a light meal that really satisfies. I recommend the P1 pho - it's beef broth based, and includes every type of beef they offer in the broth. It comes with glass noodles, scallion, and sprouts and lime on the side. I also use sriracha and hoisin to spice it up. The atmosphere is generally quiet, so it's a great place to get work done on Sundays - they're open till 9pm. read more

I had the tofu pad Thai last night from this restaurant and I was def not disappointed. I would actually go again. The portion was decently large, probably have some leftovers or if you stomach is small then potentially 2 meals out of it. The pad Thai doesn't have that much veggies if any but it def hit the spot with the taste, sauce and peanuts. I highly recommend it, and would def go back to try other dishes. Fast and efficient read more

It is a great local spot right, in the center of college town. The restaurant is rather small with limited seatings. They had an extensive menu with Thai and Pho dishes. I had the classic P1 Pho with Beef combinations. The soup broth is okay, rather sweet for me without the distinct aroma. However, the owner and staff definitely offered top-notch service in helping me accommodating a large group. read more

Restaurant review: Eh, maybe I should have went with the curry. I was craving asian food and decided to come here for dinner. This restaurant reminds me of the Hong Kong dai pai dong food stalls where you order and they call your number to pick up your food. My wife had the pad thai which was a good value and tasted like pad thai. I ahd the pho and it was 2 thumbs down. Even though it was the combo pho with everything, there was not a lot of protein items and the noodles were overcooked. The worst thing was the pho broth which is usually a highlight. I don't know what they used to season it but somehow it tasted like dish water. There was no clear broth flavor with star of anise or hint of cinnamon. It just tasted very off and I could not stomach more than a spoon of the soup. If you want cheap food then the lunch special looks like a good deal, but stay away from the pho at all cost! Pro: inexpensive, no tip you bus your own tray, lots of seating Cons: terrible pho soup, not good at all Hidden gem: I have not been here for lunch, but for 5 dollars that seems like a steal with good portion sizes per other reviews. read more

I freaking love this place. It used to be my go-to "treat yo self" place after exams and I try to go whenever I'm back on campus. I can never not get the pad thai. I'm sad they don't do the daily specials any more (i.e. pad thai Mondays!), but it's still a generous portion size for under $10. I used to be able to finish it all in one sitting, but I think it can be eaten for 2 meals for normal people. The flavors in the pad thai are also always spot on although the most recent time I went it was a little sweeter than normal, but I didn't mind it. You also have to choose your spice level, so I would recommend starting low because it can get pretty spicy depending on the cook that day. Spice level 3 is just enough to give it a little kick at the end of the bite. I personally like 4. During the winter, I also love getting the pho! By far, my favorite Thai place for flavors, cost, and friendly service! read more

This place is awesome because of its lunch specials in which a certain item is 45% off its normal price. I personally like their fried rice Tuesday specials. There isn't anything too special in terms of toppings for the fried rice, just onions and the main ingredient that your order (tofu, chicken, beef, and shrimp fried rice). Also note that shrimp fried rice is not on discount during Tuesday. What makes their food especially delectable is their spicy levels which range from 1-6. With such a wide range, it's somewhat hard to discern the levels of spicy. I've had level 5 and level 6 meals here and I can't really tell the difference sometimes. The service is fast and they have a plethora of water pitchers for water connoisseurs like myself. read more

Pho broth was way too sweet. I couldn't even finish the rest of my noodles. But service was fast and the food was cheap. What else could you expect? read more

I tried the Thai food here and it was amazing! Their menu is huge and can be daunting to order from, especially since the kitchen is really fast paced and the cooks are constantly taking orders / yelling out numbers. You can pick anything from their menu and adjust the spice level based on their number system. I decided to get a pad thai and a Thai curry. I asked for the pad thai to be nonspicy but I wish I asked for a spice level of 2. After trying a slightly more spicy pad thai, I found that the spice really does bring an extra level of flavor to the noodles. Even though I ended up flavoring my dish with sriracha, the pad thai here is one of the best pad thai I've ever had. I've never successfully made pad thai myself so I always find it amazing when a restaurant gets it right. Each element of the dish was really perfect - the noodles were cooked perfectly and soaked up just the right amount of flavor. It had a really great balance of peanut to egg to protein. My pad thai was definitely a bit sweeter because I didn't add spice. If you can handle just a bit of spicy, like me, I would recommend a spice level of 3. The curry I ordered was rich in flavor as well. I don't think it was the best Thai curry I've ever had but it was pretty decent. The interior can get a bit hectic, especially if the restaurant is busy. You have to order yourself, seat yourself, pour yourself water, and put your own dirty dishes away. This can be chaotic if the inside is packed with people. Our table was a little dirty when we sat down - we had to clean in ourselves. Since the place was pretty full, our food took about 15min to prepare. Overall, delicious Thai food that is perfect for cheap cravings. Ordering to-go might be the better option for busy nights. read more

The Mango sticky rice is the best I've ever had! I drive 45 minutes just to get some!

I stopped in for lunch with a friend. We order and pay immediately at the front. When the order is ready we have to pick it up. Everything is ready in a timely manner and there is room to sit down and enjoy the food if you don't want it to go. The food was delicious and had a very good portion size. I ordered the seafood pad Thai and my friend ordered the chicken fried rice. The flavors were spot on and you have the option of choosing your spice level. I would definitely come back! read more
