Oh my goodness! Amazing find, is halfway between a good friend. And their food was delicious and the dining area is so nice!

i tried this place out because i had a groupon. first thing i noticed was the decor. there were bamboo umbrellas hanging upside down from the ceiling, thai paintings, a christmas wreath, ikea candle lanterns... wth?... i hoped the food wouldn't be as awful as the decor in this place. ordered the penang curry (spicy), cucumber salad, pad see ew with chicken and the pad thai with shrimp. the food was just delicious! it was a perfect balance of flavors. a lot the dishes i tried not only tasted light, but it was also hearty. that pad thai was the best pad thai i have ever had! definitely coming back again to this place. it won't disappoint! read more

See all

So I came here about a month ago for a first date with my boyfriend. I immediately took notice of the sour-faced hostess/waitress/cashier (yes she was "all-in-one" lol). She barely even spoke loud enough for us to hear her...it was about 7:30 in the eve so maybe she was tired. Anyhoo...we ordered are dishes from a less than appetizing authentic Thai menu (chicken pad thai and the bf had a chicken and broccoli noodle dish). Now, I must say, being the crazed Thai foodie that I am...yes, I will eat it for breakfast, lunch & dinner...I expected the dishes to be packed with flavor especially since I ordered spicy. The dishes arrived hot wich is great, but no flavor. The portions were small and overall really nothing to write home about. Pros...nice intimate setting, cute umbrella decor, clean Cons...unfriendly service, bland food, small portions, boring menu Will I be back?? Maybe to commemorate the first day. But I'll be sure to fill up somewhere else first. read more

Great thai. Nice curi food as I usually don't like curi anything, and thai food in general is great!

Had a lunch special. Green Curry had excellent flavor and shrimp cooked perfectly. Free app and soup were just ok.

This was a terrible meal and my friend woke up ill after having had the worst Pad Thai dish ever. No flavor, no peanut, no scallion, the shrimp tasted dirty and fishy, the veggie egg rolls were soggy and bland. I can't believe this place was crowded and has a 4 Star yelp review. Hugely disappointed Yelpers! read more

BbI have come to discover that some of the best restaurants are hidden in strip malls. It's the sad truth, since many of these hidden treasures are often overlooked due to their not-so-appealing locations. Jaded Thai is one of them. I met up with the lovely Danielle S. in hopes of discovering yet another Thai restaurant I would grow to love. I seriously think I died and went to Thai heaven. JT is some seriously phenom Thai eats. The menu offers up something for everyone. As a vegetarian I was overwhelmed with their veggie options. Just about all the dishes could be made with veg or tofu in place of the meat or seafood. ((winning!)) We tried the Tofu Satay. I think it was the equivalent of crack ((if crack is as addicting as they say it is...)). The tofu squares were lightly grilled with a touch of curry sauce on top. Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. It's enough to make any tofu whore swoon. The peanut sauce it came with had a slight kick to it. We also ordered the Jaded Thai Noodles ((Spinach, rice noodles, veggies, peanut panang curry sauce)) and the Panang Curry with veggies. Both were loaded with fresh ((not frozen or canned)) veggies, including straw mushrooms (my fave). Although both dishes had similar sauces, they were slightly different, and both packed a punch - even for a mild dish. My only complaint was I had hoped the peanut panang sauce would be mixed in the noodles and not dumped on top. Those rice noodles get super sticky and can be hard to separate. Also, in hindsight, we probably should have ordered 2 really different dishes, but hey, it was our first time and you can bet your ass I'll be back. The service was fantastic. Our server was attentive and friendly. Our dishes came out fast, and our water was always be refilled. And then there's the prices. Cheap, quality and tasty?!? That sort of thing is unheard of, but the two of us walked out of there spending $13 each - including tax and tip! The decor was really cute. Trendy and chic with an Asian bistro feel. I was shocked to see that not more people were dining in. I think we were one of 3 tables the entire two hours we were there. However, there was a steady flow of takeout, so I'm happy to see the business is flowing in. Overall first impression of Jaded Thai? Love at first bite. read more

Jaded Thai is a quaint little spot in a strip mall. When you first walk in you will be greeted warmly by a nice waitress. We were seated right away. It's a very small place, so I can see how it would get packed quickly, however it seemed like most people were getting take-out. It never really got busy or noisy, but there seemed to be a consistent flow of orders. They have a lot of variety on the menu - if you are vegetarian this is a great place to go! We ordered the Tofu Satay appetizer, Jaded noodles, and the Penang (I have to get that everywhere I go). Everything tasted wonderful - just enough spice and packed full of flavor. The only complaint was that the sauce would be a little more mixed in with the noodles. And it's super cheap - for 2 of us it ended up being about $11 each! Nice. I would definitely want to come back and try more of the tasty items on the menu! read more

Terrible service. I've been here about four or five times. Tonight I had terrible service. Our waiter was so rude. We asked for a table for four people because we were having friends meet us there. Our friends were running about 45 minuets behind so, we decided to order without them. We told the waiter that they might not make it because I thought we were going to be done eating by the time they got there. When we informed her she rolled her eyes and proceeded to remove their water and utensils from the table like it was the BIGGEST inconvenience for her. We also were using the groupon and so were my friends. I understand that the groupon says one per table and I'm not arguing with her. But we were done and paid before they even ordered. She made a point to tell us that she was doing us a favor by accepting it. The tables are all in one long row. What's the difference if we sat at two different tables next to each other. Their food is really delicious but, there service is terrible and I will never go back here. read more

Finally a good dependable Thai restaurant. Good spice and the brown rice option is nice for my picky family. I wish there was a bit more meat but they are far from skimpy in their portions. We go for takeout and haven't had to wait long for the food to be ready. read more

My wife and I had Jaded Thai cater for an event of 150 people, it was awesome. Everyone raved about the food. The process of tasting and working with their staff to develop a menu could not have been better. The panang curry, pad thai, cucumber salad, spring rolls, everything was exceptional. read more

best food ! good service ! i would recommend the fried banana. wouldn't miss it read more

Awful! We ordered cucumber salad - in one word butch! Spring was was disgusting! and pad see ew was 0/10, and the chicken dish with ginger was awful. Never will I eat there again! DONT GO - SAVE YOUR MONEY! read more

Coming back from Milwaukee and Thai food was "Thai'd" with pizza for what to eat tonight. And we've had pizza twice over the weekend, so I figured let's go with the Thai. We've never ordered from this place before, so as with all new Thai restaurants, we gauge by ordering the Pad Thai Chicken (spicy) and a Spicy Chicken and vegetable dish, which happened to be called the Jaded Supreme. Hotness levels range from Mild, Medium, Hot and Very Hot. Both dishes were requested to be Hot. Both were delicious by our standards! Good ratios of chicken to vegetable/noodle. And they offer brown rice which is nice for the wife. Will have to eat in next time, but I recommend them, at least for pick up orders. read more

Egg rolls are what I care the most about, then I attempt the food. I stopped in to pick up an order while my son was in another business. What i ended up with was about 6 rolls the thickness of pencils and they were not good. I wouldnt bother read more

Enjoyed our quiet dinner here a couple of weeks ago! Service was helpful, quick, and friendly. Our curries were delicious and just what you would expect. I'm not local to the area, but if I was, I would be visiting regularly! read more

Best Crab Rangoon I have ever had!! I ordered tofu pad Thai for my meal and that was excellent as well.

I've eaten here quite a few times for both the lunch special and dinner. The restaurant is clean and the service has always been prompt. Everything I've tried has been fresh and delicious but my favorite dish is the Panang Crispy Noodle. My husband always goes for the Lad Nar which is also excellent. We've tried so many Thai restaurants in our area and Jaded Thai is by far our favorite. read more

Great food! Small but nice with pleasant staff. The food was really well seasoned and very prompt. I will go back.

We ate here while visiting my brother. The food was amazing! Some of the best green curry that I've had. My husband really enjoyed the red curry. My sister-in-law loved her spicy shrimp curry. The spice levels were perfect and so were the flavors. The owners were outgoing, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend it. read more

Love ordering here ever since they opened. In short, prices are great, food is fresh and flavorful, served beautifully, and love ordering the thai custard and mochi ice cream for dessert. Nowadays, I order for pick up, and in doing so, depending how much you're ordering, it can take a while for everything to be prepared, so when I go in, it may take about ten minutes, but they ask if you would like anything while you wait. The staff is very kind and what's nice is when you order for pick up, or take to go, you can keep and reuse topperwares :) read more

nom nom nom sorry still eating .. is it just as rude to type and eat as it is to talk while you eat?? :) I wanted to write my review while my thoughts are still in my head. This is right by my parents house and work and is now my go to place for Thai for lunch!! I ordered the red curry chicken. It's a little soupier than I would want, but it's still good and the spiciness of it is perfect. My rice was a bit undercooked, but I am sure it's just a one time thing. I under cook rice sometimes, so it's understandable. I did take out, so can't really comment on service, but the atmosphere was really friendly and the restaurant was really nice. Thai restaurants can be pretty decent or complete hole in the walls. Jaded Thai is nice inside and their prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back ... AND they have mochi for dessert!! YAY read more

ah it's too bad the Thai place next door to me isn't as good as I had hoped. whenever my wife suggests Thai, I always forget that this place is right next to me simply because it's just not that good there. Let's start off with what we have tried so far, Pad Se-ew, Pad Thai, Green Curry and Red Curry. the Pad Se-ew was not good at all, very dry and bland, which is not what any Thai dish should be. the Pad Thai was not very appetizing either, with them masquerading a ton of cabbage in with the noodles. almost felt like they were trying to cut back on the noodles and subbing cabbage in as a replacement. the flavor wasn't there either and we ended up not eating more than a quarter of the dish. The good news is that the Green Curry was pretty tasty, but only about 6 quarter sized pieces of pork in the broth. There was also no option for noodles with the Curry, which is how I grew up eating it. I had also ordered it spicy, but it wasn't very spicy at all. The Red Curry was also pretty good, but as with the Green Curry, the same issues. Overall, this place is the pretty standard Americanized Thai food menu, along with including chopsticks in the to go bag... (don't eat Thai food with chopsticks!!! use a Spoon and Fork!). If I don't feel like going too far for Thai food I may order from here again, but at the same time, this place is also somewhat pricey for what they offer. read more

Decent Thai food, small cozy restaurant. Prompt polite service. Red curry, spicy basil, veg dumplings and veg egg rolls were delicious.

This is one of my favorite Thai places. For years I ordered the pad thai with a side of peanut sauce (I really like peanut sauce) but recently discovered that I love their panang curry. I get the chicken and it comes with lots of veggies and it's super fresh. The pot stickers are really good as well. The food is consistently amazing I've never had a bad meal here. read more

Ordered two dishes thinking it will add variety to the dinner I was hosting to my friends. But very disappointed to see they look exactly like a mirror image. Can someone help differentiate these two supposedly different dishes, as the restaurant claims on the menu (refer to the pic I posted in the gallery)? If they are not, then why take the pain of having them as two separate dishes on the menu? Bad experience and totally deserves one star! read more

Jaded Thai - Ordered 2 dishes thinking it will add variety to the dinner I was hosting. Vry disappointed 2 c they are exactly a mirror image. - Thai Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Ok quality and freshness. Nothing wows but nothing was completely disappointing either. Egg rolls taste like they were microwaved from a freezer box. The sauce is pretty good though. Tom ka soup was OK. The unique coconut milk taste is good. Hot chili with chicken is average. A bit to many on the bamboo shoots but the chili sauce is pretty tasty. If I could give it another half star I would because the spear mint gum stick accompanying the check is a nice touch read more

Better than most Thai restaurants around. Fresh ingredients and great Pad Thai. Very clean and kid friendly.

I go there once in awhile for the Lunch special. Price is right and it taste awesome! Also, They always have good Service. Don't forget the Thai ice tea! read more

Yummy! We have eaten here a handful of times. Nothing exotic or out of the ordinary, just simple Thai menu done well. Nice and clean spot for lunch or dinner. read more

This is the best Thai food in the northwest suburbs! The dining area is cozy and quaint, and the service is impeccable. They have many options for vegans, and the prices are good. read more

This place is really small, not really good for like groups of 5 or more. So, we got seated in a cramped table (5 of us). We ordered the crab cheese rangoons which were good as usual. Couple of our friends ordered the veggie potstickers and some veggie entrees which I thought was uhmm Ok.. My yellow curry with Chicken and side of egg noodles was ok, it wasn't bad. read more

My favorite thai place . Such great food and wonderful service!!!!lunch specials are unbeatable!!!! My favorite is jaded delight . The sauces are delicious;) i want to drink it ...nom nom nom!!! read more

Went there for dinner on a Saturday evening and we were the only ones at a table. Several pickup orders came out which is a good sign. We started out with the mini Spring rolls that boasted of chicken, shrimp and bean threads. Honestly it was like a rolled up chicken finger. I did not see nor taste any shrimp morsels. Hubby ordered cashew chicken. He said it was very bland tasting. I tasted his sauce and it was a rather soupy consistency and tasted like bouillon. I ordered Pad Si Ew (probably not spelled right) veggie style. Usually when I order it with veggies only it comes with just broccoli. To my delight it had broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus cuts, I think zucchini and carrots. Mine was delicious. Only other downside for me was their choice of music. Cute place with great Asian decor does not need to play rap music on their stereo system. We would go back and try it again. read more

Food is good. Peanut sauce was the best I've had. Pad thai needed more sauce, and possibly sweeter. This place is very clean. read more

My family and I order take out from here at least once a week, if not more often than that. We have never eaten at the restaurant, so I cannot speak to the quality of the service but I can speak to the quality of the food. After trying various things on the menu, we have narrowed down the items that we think have the most flavor -- the Basil entree with any meat is PHENOMENAL and so flavorful. Absolutely the best entree. Next, the Spicy Crazy noodles (we usually do beef or chicken) -- love the big soft noodles!! Other favorites include the Panang Curry, the Basil Fried Rice, and the Pad Thai noodles. So granted although they have limited options (at least the ones that we think have the most flavor), those options are so delicious -- and worth it obviously or otherwise we wouldn't order it so often. And in my opinion, the portions are very big...I can usually split the meal into 2 without a problem, and still end up full. read more

Great food, lots of fresh vegetables, always prepared fast. Reasonable prices especially the lunch specials. One of my favorite places to pick up lunch. read more

The potstickers were great. The spicy delight was delicious. Very reasonably priced as well. I will definitely go back.

Love this place for take out or dine in! If you like Thai, this is the place for you! Fast and friendly service with fresh and tasty food.

Food was good The crab rangoon on the combination appetizer was so small that you couldnt even taste the little bit of filling that was in them, but that's my only complaint. . I like how you can pick your meat and level of spicy. I feel like it makes the menu very flexible. One woman was doing everything up front (serving all the tables, answering the phone, and ringing out take out orders), and I felt stressed for her. However, she did not appear the least bit stressed and was super friendly. We will be back to try other things (because it's hard for me not to get pad thai) read more
