    Chicken is salty, noddle don't taste like anything. Would not recommend this place.

    The food was salty and noddle did not taste like anything. I would not recommend this place

    Egg roll. So yummy!

    The only negative is I live and work out of their delivery range. No place to eat inside (pandemic related reason not their own fault) Had the Orange Chicken lunch special. And ate in my car. The chicken fried rice: its pleasant to bite into soft moist pieces of chicken, rice that was not al dente but just cooked to perfect moisture as mostly in general fried rice seem to be hard to bite into. This place how they seasoned it won't offend people. Its up to you to add soy sauce. It was not salty for me. The egg roll. Very flavorful and seasoned. I actually will crave this egg roll when I am back into the area during lunch hour. Negative part: Does not come with house made sauce. The orange chicken. Still Very crispy. Nice circus taste to it its not bland whatsoever and is actually made with white meat chicken. In love with this place as the menu actually had all fried dishes listed as white meat chicken too! So will be back to try other sauces/dish variation as getting sweet and sour chicken all of the time gets old. Definitely will recommend this place for someone in the area.

    Great variety of Thai and Chinese. Lunch specials are affordable and the delivery is quick.

    Food is bland. On-line menu is difficult to navigate. None of the food items I ordered were prepared the way I expected.

    We've tried this place twice and both times the food was really bland, even the dishes that were marked as "spicy" in the menu.

    I ordered takeout from P.F. Chang's and tried the Mongolian Beef dinner special and the Chang's…read moreSpicy Chicken dinner special, both of which came with hot and sour soup. The food quality was great overall. The Mongolian beef was flavorful and tender, but the Chang's spicy chicken was definitely my favorite with a perfect balance of heat and crispiness. You can also ask for extra sauce on either entree if you like your food with extra gravy like I do! The hot and sour soup was excellent and the portion was surprisingly large, especially for a to go order. It felt like a full restaurant serving rather than a small takeout container. Overall, a really solid takeout experience with generous portions, quality food, and very friendly staff. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice too in case you prefer dining in! If you like sauces or silverware with your food, make sure to mention that because my food didn't come up with any soy sauce, fortune cookies, etc.

    It's tradition to come here for lunch after going to the orchid show at the Chicago Botanic Garden…read moreand it happened to be Valentine's Day, so win/win. I love the interiors here and it's extra pretty with the touches for Lunar New Year. We did a couple of appetizers, fried rice and cocktails and everything was delicious, although I really prefer the way they prepared and presented the pork dumplings the original way - the sauce is way too spicy now and since we ordered the sauce on the side, the dumplings all stuck to the serving dish. Our server was Krissy who we've had before and she's always friendly and did a great job recommending the Iwai Tiger cocktail which was delicious.

    The food was fantastic here at Jimmy Thai! We got the panang curry since it was recommended, and it…read moredefinitely did not disappoint. The curry was flavorful, packed with veggies and chicken, and paired so nicely with the fluffy white rice. We also got the pad woon sen, and it had a nice wok hei flavor; the noodles were bouncy and paired well with the hot sauce on the table as well. Lastly, we got the mango sticky rice for dessert, and they give you SO MANY MANGOES. The rice was sweet, and you had enough mangoes to pair it with every single bite of rice. The service was good; they always made sure to check in on us and even brought us extra plates to let us share our dishes. The only con I have is that I asked for potatoes in my curry, but I didn't know it'd be a dollar extra. It's not a big deal, but I'd love to know when I ask. The ambiance was very Thai themed, and they had a lot of awards for their restaurant. It also caught my eye that they won a food bracket tournament with other restaurants I have heard of as well. There's also a large parking lot and lots of seats if you want to dine in. I also noticed a large amount of takeout orders, so you can tell this place is very popular.

    Based on the owners response. I went and asked for a more authentic recipe. What I got in return…read morewas overly salty and sauced pad Thai. It was just a slop of mess. When I asked for a more authentic recipe I wasn't expecting them to just add more sauce. Just completely lazy imo. If you're looking for a bleached version of Thai food. This place is it. While all the dishes have Thai names. It's just typical American food dressed up as "Thai" They recently raised the prices and for the slop they serve you. Not worth it.
