The service was good. Our waitress was very polite and attentive. The food was terrible. Probably the worse Pad Thai I've ever tasted and I've eaten Pad Thai all over the country. Nothing was good. The curry noodle was watery tasting. The egg plant was watery. The Pad Thai was super sweet and did not have a true Tamarind taste. The Drunken noodle lacked flavor and chicken. I'm not sure how the chef can think this is good! It was the worse Thai food I have ever tasted. The only thing half way decent was the fried appetizer platter which is difficult to mess up! I would avoid this place unless they get a new chef or revamp the recipes. Ambiance was lackluster. Half grocery store half restaurant and did not look clean. It seems the owners have given up. This place needs an overhaul! read more

This restaurant also has a storefront with lots of Asian treats. I loved the food here; everything was very tasty. I was a big fan of the appetizers like the edamame, potstickers, spring rolls, and the satay chicken. My only complaint was that the crab rangoon filling was overly creamy and lacked flavor. The curry was just the perfect amount of spicy. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was the perfect way to cap off a delicious meal. The waitress and owner were very sweet and welcoming. You can tell all of the food is made with lots of love. read more

Had the khao soi which was good. Also Panang curry with beef, also good. Beef was tender. Could be a little cleaner, but overall we will come back. Best Thai food in NW Indiana so far. read more

The food was so good. It was everything we were hoping for when we decided to come here today. This review has a vegan bent. Most of their entrees can be adapted to being vegan, besides some of the salads, per our server, who I suspect is an owner...? And this is something we really appreciate. A lot of things are labeled vegan on the menu but you can assume this applies to most items, "just let us know." Further, everyone seemed happy. The employees were all friendly. Everyone there seemed to be having a good time. This restaurant also appears to be welcoming to families. It was just me and my girlfriend, but two other tables had small children. Relatedly, they have a small store that has candy and such. This is going to sound weird but it's true. The water was so cold and refreshing. Beyond the water, the food was served quickly following our orders, less than 10 minutes for sure. Also, everything tasted like it was literally just taken off of a stove. We bought the Pineapple Cashew Fried Rice with fried tofu, the Massamon Curry with fried tofu, and the Guay Chai. We love fried tofu and being able to add that to both main dishes was like xmas. The Guay Chai seemed fresh, hot and soft, and the dipping sauce (not sure what it was) was sweet and had a thick consistency. The portions were substantial, the pricing was more than reasonable, and the food was amazing. We brought home enough food for dinner tonight, we went early evening, and maybe breakfast tomorrow? Note: The picture was taken after we had eaten for a bit and does not include the additional rice or the Guay Chai. read more

Five Star Thai Cuisine - Pineapple Fried Rice and Massaman Curry. - Thai Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

Ok so I can't believe I had to come to Indiana from Jersey and finally find a Thai place that has the small bell peppers that comes with every meal like in Thailand. I been to tons of Thai places and they were alright but this place was exceptional. The Pad Thai was as original as you would find in Phuket. The mango sticky rice was also exceptional. I would gladly spend all of my money here. Would've taken a picture but I swallowed the food whole like a madman. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Ordering the food over the phone wasn't terrible...but I wish the quality and taste of the food were better. I had a taste for Thai food - specifically pad Thai which is one of my favorite dishes. I ordered that along with the Thai basil fried rice (was to be a bit spicy) and was severely disappointed. Both dishes tasted similar. If I was blindfolded I probably wouldn't be able to pick which was which. I didn't dine in - this was carry-out. The restaurant itself looks small. read more

This place has been hit or miss. I've given up on anything with tofu after being served dry, hard cubes too many times. I really love the yum woon sen, but I don't know if the serving will be paltry or dry. I keep going back because it's my closest option, but it's not my favorite. read more

I would like to start this review off by saying that the staff there are very polite and nice and efficient. My wife and my son really like this place however I didn't.. We started off our meal with two Thai iced coffees Let me say that that was the highlight of the meal. They were big delicious ice cold, and tasted great. I was very excited as this was my first time here. I ordered the crab Rangoon because quite honestly the last time I was in Joliet I had life-changing delicious crab Rangoon from a Thai place near Jefferson. I can't remember the name of the place it's in the strip mall, in any event I digress this just didn't taste good to me at all . It was full of cream cheese, and no other taste. I could tell from it at all. It was hot piping out in fact, but it just didn't taste good. It was a bit overdone as well. I didn't complain. I just offered it to my wife and she happily ate all of them. For the entrée, I had a thin rice dish with lots of vegetables and chicken pad something or another I can't remember and my wife had peanut noodles. She loves those mine. I asked specifically for well-done vegetables I don't like crunchy vegetables wow when I received it, they were crunchy vegetables, so I walked up to the counter and asked, please can you Really make these well-done vegetables and they did. Once that was fixed everything was good and I ate about half the portion size is very good. You get a lot for your money. I also did notice that their prices of the entrées were a bit more expensive that I'm used to which surprise me because of their location it's in Little strip mall and Northwest Indiana. I'm used to eating north side of Chicago and to find that their prices are higher than that really surprise me. I was stuffed after the meal and my wife ordered a mango sticky rice. Unfortunately they did not have mango because it was out of season so she had a sticky rice which again seemed incredibly Overpriced. I've had this before it many different Thai restaurants for half the cost so this was very surprising to me all in all excellent service I didn't like the appetizer I really like the coffee. My main dish was just OK so that's why I give it three stars personally I won't return, but I'm sure my wife and son will read more

Food was delicious. Staff was great. Great advice on favorite choices! Fresh prepared meals. The chicken was so tender. Be sure to add spice to your pad Thai..:. read more

Will never order again from them. The last year something has changed and the food has been getting worse. Tonight final straw. We ordered a shrimp pad thai and a chicken pad thai and spring rolls. My shrimp were not cooked and the pad thai had some chemical taste. My husband's chicken pad thai had 0 flavor like they forget to add the seasoning. We both noticed that the noodles looked just like a clear boiled noodle. Spring rolls were stale and not crispy. (We live 5 min from restaurant ) I finally called them (never did before) the host put the chef on and his reply 'whats the matter with your food' I told him and he told me to cook my shrimp if I didn't think they were done. And that if you order mild there is no seasoning. Has been bad over this last year, but this was horrible. We couldn't even eat it and threw it away. read more

I would never go here because the owner is a jerk. I was parked in a spot with kids in the car and the owner came out screaming profanities at me. He told me if you can't park in the right spot you din't deserve to eat in his store. I was in a spot for less than 10 minutes, 1 person was in his restaurant! read more

Five Star Thai Cuisine - Larb salad - Thai Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

So this happened about 4 years ago but I still cannot believe that it did, and I still think about it every so often. So I figured I'd let everyone know about it. Me and my family were dedicated diners at this establishment. We lived very close in a nearby neighborhood and always ate here, even before the major renovations they made. It was a cozy quiet place, food was really good, they'd play relaxing Jazz music and service was usually very nice. One night me and my mom decided to stop in and have dinner by ourselves. We ordered some pot stickers, soup, and 3 dinners I believe because we were going to kind of share and take the rest home. First, the waitress, a small young blonde woman was remarkably upset that we had ordered so much food. Are you sure you can eat all of this? She asked rudely. I told her we were going to probably end up taking a lot of it home and eating it for lunch the next day, so no big deal. She goes in the back and me and my mom look at each other like what was that about? Maybe it was the fact that me and my mom are not on the bigger side and she thought we didn't know how to order or something so we let it slide. The chef himself comes out, ( I think he's the main chef/owner, the guy with really big arms, or at least, he had them then), with our food and goes, do you guys realize how much you ordered? Jeez that's a lot of food!! Me and my mom looked at each other confused as the entire place was empty. I looked around the restaurant to kind of prove a point and then back at him who still had his gaze on me unbroken and I said yeah, so what? Well it's just a lot of food he said once more, I don't think I've ever seen anyone order so much, right? He says to the waitress. Then the waitress comes back over and starts laughing with him saying the same and agreeing. Mind you this restaurant is small so you could literally hear a pin drop from the kitchen. I told them both thanks for the concern but we're good. He walked away laughing shaking his head with her doing the same. I have no idea why they both shamed us like that, at that time business didn't look too good for them (this was right after covid), you'd think they'd be happy someone was buying anything from them. Other than that, the fact that we were regular customers for years and would usually bring the entire family for dinner and tip very well should've been grounds for excellent service without that kind of bullying. This experience really really upset us, because afterwards we've never been back for fear of getting shamed again. Hopefully things have changed there because that whole experience was just beyond RUDE. If someone apologizes for this rudeness that transpired, I might think of readjusting my review and coming back once more. read more

Sometimes it can be a big ask for restaurants to live up to their names, but Five Star Thai has no issue with that. Whenever I come to visit my parents, we like to order from here to go, but recently I finally had the privilege to dine in. I'm a sucker for a good Panang curry, and here is no different. You get plenty of food and can usually make two meals out of it. Overall, the food is fantastic and the service is great as well. To be honest, this is probably the best Thai place in all of The Region. read more

So... this place has done some updating. Food and service was kind of amazing. So much better than when I had written my first review. Ordered the spring rolls and the beef noodle soup and both were cooked perfectly and super yummy. The soup is a HUGE portion. And yum. I'm really glad I went back. Of course, it always helps when you're with great company. :) read more

This was* our favorite take out place. We have ordered a few times a month for years and over the last year they have gone downhill significantly. The food is never consistent anymore, the amount, flavor, and cook always vary. Even the white rice served with curry is now hard and dry like it was in a warmer all day. The curry is often cold even though we live less than 5 minutes away and the noodle dishes are never the same as the last time we ordered. Sometimes it's great, but lately we have not been wanting to risk the $50 we normally spend there on inconsistent cold food. read more

This is a small place hidden from US 30. I walked in on a Monday around 7:30 and had a hearty conversation with the owner. I asked for yellow curry chicken, but he said yellow is not typically eaten in Thailand; the red is more common and has better flavor. He recommended I try any of the red curry dishes. I ended up ordering Bankok chicken, with peanuts, baby corn, water crests, bamboo and it was quite tasty. I got two filling meals out if it Dining area is open again, but I took my food to go since I'm currently traveling with two dogs service was fast and friendly. read more

The red curry is sooooo good! Top 5 in my life - and I've eaten a lot of Thai food! Highly recommend!

Great! Loved Theo lace. Easy to find. Good service.would definitely go again in the future

it been maybe 9 months since I've been here , at that time the food was good , so tonight we had a taste for Thai food again. so I called in the order for a pickup. sautéed calamari a pad see ewe which is chicken and vegetables and noodles and a spicy seafood soup, all for $ 40.00 . well I might as well just burned the money or just thrown it into the garbage. just like I'm getting ready to throw this food into the garbage. the sautéed calamari, they gave me raw calamari, not even sautéed no flavor. The chicken with vegetables and noodles very bad noodles seem like a mouthful of GMO. You can ball it up and play a game of basketball with it. Chicken had an odd flavor to it and texture seem like chicken, I hope it wasn't cat . Spicy seafood soup I think the spices in it covered up the flavor of the sea food except for the oyster that was muddy dirt like . only had a single bite of each , and that's enough. I've tried calling them up 4 times already and it goes to a voice message saying try again later . so if anyone wants to try 5 star Thai restaurant, you can save yourself a trip and just throw your money into the trash can . I know I'm never going to go here again. to bad they don't have a minus 5 rating, but maybe they should change the name to Minus 5 Star Thai restaurant read more

The food wasn't bad. Just more on the bland side. The service far as greetings was blasé. The ambiance was inviting.

This spot is a great choice it a great spot because its something different you can dine in or have take out I spent 20 dollars and got two big bowls of food I had pad Tai and it was very tasty it had a great spice and good meat a heads up if you like meat you might want extra meat but definitely Recommend plus the workers are very nice which is a plus read more

One of my favorite go to places. Never disappoints me. If you ride the bike trail you can safely get there. A great treat after a long ride. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant did not live up to its name. I enjoyed my food but 5 stars would be too generous. I ordered my go-to Thai dish (the drunken noodles). My food had bean sprouts which was very different and added nice texture. I hadn't tried drunken noodles with bean sprouts before. To my disappointment, my food wasn't spicy and could have used more flavor. Our food came out really quickly and the server was really patient. Overall, my food was good but not great. read more

Five Star Thai Cuisine - Drunken noodles with chicken - Thai Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

My husband and I have been regular customers for quite some time and the food is still very good. However, after the remodeling, the dish portions have become noticeably smaller. We noticed this immediately because we order the same items when we visit. They have also converted to the 2-tier payment option: your bill is less if you pay cash, it is more for card payments. At this pace of cutbacks and changes, it may be time for us to shop around for another Thai food restaurant. read more

Went with the appetizer sampler of crab rangoons, spring rolls, and pot stickers. All 3 were great. Tried the drunken noodles with spice level 3 and it was awesome. Good amount of spice and great flavor. Once again if you've never tried Thai or are looking for a great Thai place give 5 Star a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Friendly staff. Great food! & it wasn't a long wait for my food! The chicken pad Thai with vegetable spring rolls. Amazingly delicious!

We took a long road trip and since we were staying overnight here we decided to try this restaurant. Everything was delicious and the hosts were so nice! They even have a mini grocery store connected to the restaurant so we bought some snacks for the road. I would definitely go back. May Jesus bless your restaurant na ka :) read more

Way better than I thought it was going to be. Everything was so good. We tried a lot of food too but it was great.

Very good! I usually get the pad se ewe with tofu. Pad Thai is yummy. Clean cute place.

Great food and friendly service. I really enjoy their red curry with chicken and rice

Incredibly expensive for lack luster tasting food. Does not meet the mark in Thai food in our opinion.

Pretty good, good menu, not hot at all. Tried 4-5 times. Good staff, not exactly a date kind of spot.

I found a bone and a gristle piece in my panang curry chicken and bit right into it. I was sick to my stomach afterwards. The chicken being in a thick sauce it's impossible to look for any other bones or inedible parts. I'm really disappointed. This was one of my go to spots. read more

I had been eating here since the late 90s. I was never dissatisfied. This was an excellent Thai place! The ownership has changed and the food is now unrecognizable. This was an excellent hidden gem, but not anymore. Even the Pad Thai and cucumber salad cannot compare. Go ahead and try it if you never tasted the food from the previous owners, otherwise I don't recommend. read more
