Great food but I think it's going to their head. Hours are kinda goofy and Prices are a little higher but you can tell there is a great quality to their food. Lunch special is a great deal the Portions feel like they used to be bigger but you still get a good amount of food. Typically I get my orders to go so I can't say much about their service. read more

Never had the pleasure of trying thai food before Green Pea Pod, but it has had made me love thai food! LOVE THIS PLACE!

I haven't had this good of Thai food since Bangkok. I was truly amazing to accidently find this amazing little gem of a restaurant. I can't believe that it is right here in McHenry, IL. If you go order the Potstickers for an appetizer. You cannot go wrong with the Pad Thai or the Garlic Beef. I haven't tried their Drunk'in Spaghetti yet however I am looking forward to it. I will let you know how it goes. Oh, and their staff is extremely friendly and very quick. read more

Really good Thai food. I usually order the fried rice, or my go-to the pad Thai. They offer carryout which is always very quick, and arrives hot. The pricing is very reasonable, and the food and service are consistently good. read more

I wanted to do an update to my previous review... my bestfriend talked me into going back to the Green Peapod, as they loves their Mai Tai's. My thoughts after the meal, "the service was great and the crab rangoons and basil fried rice I ordered was delicious". I realize that their pad pad thai may not be to my taste, and understand their didcincernment, but wish better customer service was in line, rather than the confrontation previously recieved. read more

Great lunch special. I only been here for lunch. The food is decent, not as good as the good thai food in a major metro area such as Chicago, but definitely great for the town of McHenry, which is a culinary wasteland. read more

Great food, friendly service, nice atmosphere. Orange Roughy amazing. One of the most interesting fish dishes I've ever had. Been here multiple times. Food consistently great. Service very good. High value for the money. read more

Excellent food, I really love the drunken spaghetti(extra spicy please!) and the pot stickers are an every time I order staple. Service can be a little slow sometimes but the family that owns it is very very friendly. They deliver too! I wish there was more outdoor seating with summer around the corner... read more

The food was delicious. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. The real issue I could see was they could probably use a few more people working. The service was a bit slow but otherwise good place read more

While the food is pretty good, the service staff and general ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. We still didn't have silverware when our appetizer came and had to ask for it after she walked away. Yelling children running around and jumping off chairs and tables (I assume these are the owners children or they wouldn't be waking on the bar top and stools). A waitress who charged us incorrectly for something and when we pointed it out she literally asked, "so, is it okay or should I change it?". And the waitress comes to pick up the completed credit card sheet BEFORE we're even finished with our food and wine. If I come back, it will be for takeaway - I won't be sitting here. Recommend the food though - but the curb outside is probably better for enjoying it. read more

Absolutely the best thai food in the area. Outstanding service and food. Highly recommend the Snapper (sometimes listed as "Celebration Fish"). It's SERIOUSLY good. Also -- green peas fried rice is excellent. read more

Very good thai food, especially for McHenry! :) I order delivery while I'm at work and the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious! I have tried several of their dishes, but my favorite is the pad thai which is some of the best I've had. Chicken is moist, tender, and plentiful. Crab rangoon, tom yum soup, and spring rolls are all excellent. I haven't had a bad dish from this place yet! The green apple salad is also very good! Highly recommended! I would normally rate this place a 4/4.5 but since this is by far the best food I've found in McHenry, it deserves a 5 in my book. read more

Good for take out and sit down. So glad to have found a good thai restaurant. I recommend their curry dishes, mama's tofu, pad thai, but most importantly, try their taro pearl dessert, drenched in a coconut milk sauce. read more

This is our favorite Thai restaurant around. I love their pad thai. My husband loves the garlic beef. We come here often and have never been disappointed. read more

I just moved out of the McHenry area and this place is one of the things I'll miss about living there. This is probably the nicest restaurant in McHenry. It even sticks out when you see it from the street. Great Thai food, really nice atmosphere and great staff. I went there on my birthday with two friends, and my friends mentioned to our server that it was my birthday. At the end of the meal, the wait staff brought me out a complimentary fried ice-cream with a candle on it and sang Happy Birthday to me. Depending on what day/time you go, it can take a bit of time for them to get your order, so be prepared to wait a bit. It's also a very short walk from the restaurant to the McHenry Riverwalk, and depending on what time of day you go, there is a really nice locally owned coffee shop next door, as well as a decent used bookstore and an old two screen movie theater across the street that shows current movies, so you could have lunch there and enjoy a nice afternoon in McHenry. read more

Best Thai place around. Great food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Went again with my family, and I had an amazing meal. We also were rewarded with a Ginger dessert that was AMAZING!! Thai is unique, and different dishes comes with interesting textures and flavors. I love it, I had the Garlic and Pepper rice dish with a little meat. It was very good. Updated 7/16/2011: Had the pad kee mao from another user review, and it was awesome!! Very tasty, ask for a little spice and it comes with a very nice kick! read more

Service was very good! Food was fair, at best. Food presentation was lacking. My wife's noodle plate looked horrible. Didn't taste very good. I had high expectations from reading other reviews, that is why we tried the Green Peapod. We will not return! read more

Top-notch Thia food. You can't go wrong with Green Peapod. My wife and I have been patrons for many years. Portions are super generous, and food is fresh and delicious. We get our 2 year old the $2 side of noodles and feed him some protein from our plate; he loves it. read more

I'm not an expert on Thai food I just know what I like and don't like. This was actually my first time eating in a Thai restaurant. The atmosphere was very nice, light and airy. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. Our food was very good, I had the chicken pad Thai, which I've never had before and I thought it was very tasty. My daughter had tofu Panang Curry, she said it tasted really good she just didn't like how big the chunks of tofu were. We also had the sweet sticky rice with mango for dessert, it was so good. The prices were also very reasonable which is a big plus in my book! I know we will be back to try some of the other dishes! read more

The restaurant is beautiful inside but the food was just ok. Their pad thai was good but the curry dish and chicken satay were very disappointing. Overall, it was not very authentic Thai... We have been craving a really authentic Thai food! read more

I was not impressed. I was told that it would be the best thai food ever. It's possible that it was just my selection. The beef was dry and somewhat tasteless. My friends' dishes (drunken spaghetti) were better though. I will not go back. read more

My first Thai food experience and it was amazing! The Crab Rangoon had real crab in it (I've mostly come across the imitation crab) and it was in big hunks! The meal I got was just to die for, good heat but not overpowering. Added plus- there was enough left for lunch the next day! I highly recommend anyone to try Green Peapod! read more

The service is very nice and the food is excellent. I had the green curry and tom kha soup. Delicious. The thai ice tea is very good too.

Excellent Thai food, in the middle of McHenry. Very nice interior, kinda upscale but very small. I recommend the pot stickers, crab rangoon, basil fried rice, & mussanmun curry. read more

Best Thai in McHenry county! Initially it would seem a little on the pricier side but truly is not for the amount of food you get, superior service, and upscale dining feel. We love the pad Thai and lard nar. We are never disappointed when we go here, and never go home hungry. This is a unique place for McHenry. It has so much to offer and brings a lot to Green street! read more

My favorite restaurant in McHenry by far. Green Peas Curry is delicious! And if you want something sweet be sure to try the Thai Iced Tea!

Pure awesome! Red Snapper!!! Thai flavored bubble teas are great too, in fact everything here is awesome

Having lived in Chicago for many years I thought McHenry would be devoid of Thai food. I was surprised to find that the GP was very good. Dining options are limited in McHenry, to say the least, so give this place a shot. Stick with the entree's. The appetizers were average. The owners have a sweet young girl but she'll talk your ears off if you let her. She pretty much ruined one of our dinners there. read more

I live in the city and this is really as good as it gets. They never skimpon presentation, service is always good, atmosphere is fantastic. Most importantly the food is ALWAYS consistant and delicious. When I lived i McHenry I would order everyother day for lunch and it was always consistant and DELICIOUS. This place is AMAZING. read more

I have never been dissapointed by the food here. The service is good, the place is clean. Everything tastes fresh. Their Pad Thai with chicken is the best I've ever had. read more

I love this place! Best thai in the area for sure. Everything we have ordered had been great. However, the pad thai and Panjang curry are two of the best I've had. The crab rangoon is also one of the best I've had. Plus they deliver too, it's almost impossible to find good places that deliver to us! I highly recommend you try this place! read more

A great place that offers gluten free options. I normally opt for the chicken Thai fried rice. Tastes great and I have never gotten sick from any sort of gluten contamination etc. Food is fresh and everyone there is friendly and pleasant. I took my parents out for dinner and their dine in service was great as well. My wife loves their ginger tea. read more

Their pad thai is literally the best pad thai I've ever eaten. Cute little place to dine in at, reasonable prices and excellent food!

This is the best it gets! I have been a customer since day one-Main reason is the food is fresh.....and homemade....Not to be missed!!!! If you like superb food, excellent service and over the top quality....look no farther... PS: I also happen to be a worldwide foodie.....and hard to impress read more

I'm never disappointed when I go here. I usually get the same thing, Crab Rangoon and Pad Thai with tofu! If you've never had tofu, try it in the Pad Thai you'll be hooked! The portion size is also amazing. I suggest take-out because the waiters and waitresses are nice but service isn't awesome. Go there! read more

Was spoiled, used to live next to one of the best Thai places in the western US. This place is pretty decent. Large portions, authentic Thai recipes. Great Curries and Noodle dishes. The Chicken Pad Thai is Authentic! Never have eaten in, always carried out and is very fast/efficient. read more

Best pad Thai in the area. Highly recommend it. The service is always great and very fast. Only thing is if you go with a group of people make sure to make reservations because this place is always busy especially on the weekends! The food is always consistent and delicious. If you don't feel like a sit down they also have takeout which I get monthly. Perfect takeout and eat in restaurant. read more

Being married to a Thai woman, there are not many Thai restaurants that pass muster...and to which I am allowed to patronize more than once. The Green Peapod is one of the very few that she actually asks to go to. Great food, wonderful family owned business with extremely pleasant and engaging staff. read more

The food was fantastic and very fairly priced. The atmosphere was cute and trendy, and it was a great spot for conversation. Portions were appropriate and the service was great! My friends and I tried the Thai iced coffee and it was so yummy! Our only complaint was that my friend found a hair in her food. read more
