    I've frequented Bodhi more times than I can count . While the food quality is phenomenal and I've never ever received an incorrect order, the dine in service is just okay. The reason is largely due to its size, the layout and presence of a kitchen window which is reminiscent of a dining while sitting on a barstool. There's no buffer and little separation from the kitchen and dining area. Add to that I am not a fan of a sheet of white paper spread across linens. On the upside, there's much to be said about dining at a place where you're recognized as a regular and your order is remembered, if I had to guess, their takeout business is more active than dine in.

    Vegetable Egg Roll

    Haven't had Thai food in a while, so we decided to go to a new place other than our usual. The interior is rustic with statues and decorations, much like I saw when I visited Thailand. Service was quick, and the food came out quickly. We got the lunch special, which includes one entree, an appetizer, and a soup of the day. All this for just $11.95 is a great deal, even if it is from a shortened menu. The soup was actually a highlight with its flavor being similar to a chicken noodle, but slightly different and an excellent contrast in texture with the crispy in the soup. The pot sticker was nicely fried but didn't have too much flavor on the inside. The flavor of this dish was mostly just from the soy based sauce it came with. The egg roll was actually worse, though. I get that it is all vegetables on the inside, but I expected some sort of flavor. Massaman curry was the main entree, and it was quite good as well. I was a little let down by the small amount of curry included with the dish. I feel like more curry would have made the flavors pop more. Overall, it was a good dish with fresh vegetables and your choice of meat, but the curry itself was a bit too diluted for my personal preference. I prefer my curry to have more of a punch. With that all said, this is a great option for a lunch for the price alone. I'll try the dinner options next time for a chance to taste the differences, if there are any. Give it a try!

    I called the restaurant as the owner offered to rectify the issue. Owners were not on-site. Separately, I do not feel comfortable receiving a meal 'on the house'. Serving burnt steamed rice is not a mistake but a statement. No, thanks.

    I used to live near the area for 10+yrs. I would always order take out, never dined in. Now we live farther away from this place but we missed the food and decided to down it. WOW. What an amazing experience. Went in on a Sunday night with my two kiddos and husband. This place screams with cleanliness. Bathrooms, clean, atmosphere clean, dinnerware clean. Cups and utensils all clean! Usually we have to request new ones because they are filthy. But not here! I even drank for the glass cup which I never do. The food was beyond amazing! My husband got a beef stew and finished the whole thing! My kiddos ate all of their chicken skewers. We couldn't stop thinking of our amazing experience. 10/10

    Came as a walk-in, very nice staff. The interior is very elegant and surprisingly cozy. They had very beautiful masks and statues on display at the counter/bar The food was good.

    Dined here on a Wednesday evening and was immediately seated. The ambiance is great and service was superb. The waiter made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered: 1. Crab Fried rice (the best dish we had here) 2. The clay pot (it was ooook) 3. Chicken pad Thai (good but the noodles were over cooked and was too soft and soggy) 4. Tom Kha (very mild and delicious Overall, I would recommend the fried rice but rest was alright. The service was good!!

    It was my first time trying Bodhi Thai and it was delicious. I liked the flavors and crisp of the nuts. The service was great. The place is well decorated. Totally recommend this.

    The food is Thai but not the best or near the best Thai I've had. It's ok in a pinch, but nothing to gush over or to remember.

    The food is always delicious! It is a small family owned business. Since moving to Oak Park, I frequent this place at least once a month.

    Best Thai in the area. Basil noodles are an absolute family favorite and you can't go wrong with the pad Thai and potstickers.
