We went there a few weeks ago for the first time. Food is a solid 5, absolutely divine. Panang curry with shrimp was perfectly cooked. The other app and entrees were quite delicious as well. Love the decorations and the nice touches they added to the dining area and the tables. It's the service that really put me off. The only waitress/hostess/cashier there seemed to have some kind of attitude, no greeting, no friendly smile, no warmth, and almost being rude when we were placing our order and a couple of us didn't say the order loud enough. And there were only 3 tables occupied on the weekend night. Or maybe the service explained it all. Walking out of the door, we weren't so sure if we would come back. But considering the fantastic food here, we were settled with "maybe next time we can try to do a carryout instead of a dine-in." read more

Waited in line for over an hour. The food is just horrible. I visit Thailand on a semi regular basis and this food is nothing close to there. The pad Thai treated as if it just had sugar water on it. Never again! Also, looked in the kitchen and saw no Asians, only hispanic cooks! read more

Some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. Sure, I had my favorites in Chicago but I'm always up for trying to places and Jaded Thai surprised the hell out of me. The Spicy Crazy noodles are absolutely phenomenal, hands down the best I've ever had. The added eggplant was amazing and an awesome addition to the dish. My mother tried the Rama with Chicken and while she found it to be a bit too spicy she really liked it and I loved it. My sister had never tried rama chicken before and enjoyed the heck out of our mothers leftovers. The satay was great, good thai iced teas. I'm sad I recently moved to Dallas, I'll miss this place! The place was very clean, lovely decor and service was really friendly! read more

BEST PANANG!!!! Holy smokes. I usually don't get it because I'm jaded from having it in Thailand. Awesome lunch prices and the meal comes with soup and an app. I will def be returning to this strip mall gem! read more

I came here for lunch with my coworkers on a Friday. Surprisingly it wasn't that busy so we got seated right away. All of us ordered off the lunch menu. Our waitress was super sweet and the food came out pretty quickly. With the lunch menu, you get the appetizer and soup of the day so we got crab rangoons and tom yum soup. The crab rangoons were very small but good. The tom yum soup was rather watered down. I ordered the panang curry which was really good! I would come back here if I ever crave Thai food. It's definitely way better than Thai Garden over on Golf Road. read more

Hands down, this is the best Thai food I've ever had! My wife and I love Thai food and have tried several places but none compare to jaded Thai! The seasoning is amazing in their dishes making the food delicious!! A wide variety of food to try and every dish I've tried, I've loved! The crazy noodles and pad woonsen are my absolute favorites! Great service and the employees are so friendly and welcoming! The restaurant is clean, very cozy and decorated with tradition and modern touches. I highly recommend giving them a try because you will not be disappointed! It's about 45-50 minutes from our house but when we want Thai, we make the drive, well worth it!!! read more

I bought a Groupon for this place so my mom and I went on a Fri night. The place was packed, there were even customers standing by the front door waiting for tables. The service here was the slowest I've even encountered. There were only two servers, who were also bussing the tables, answering the phones, making the checks, and paying bills. For a Fri night, it was ridiculous that they'd only have two people doing everything. We had to flag one of them down just to get our order taken, after 10 min of waiting. Another table sent their little girl to go up to one of them as she was refilling our water to say "We're ready to order now...." That family was there when we got there, so I have no idea how long they actually waited before sending the little girl. But when you have to be bothered to try to place an order, you know it's bad. Now on to the food. It was just ok. My mom was getting over a cold so we ordered some soup and the only way I can describe it is like home-made food where you just leave all the crap in the food that you're supposed to take out before serving it. But of us were shocked when we bit into huge chunks of ginger. They also had some tough, fibrous, ingredient in there.... sort of like I was chewing bark. The image I'm trying to convey here is akin to when you make chili, but then leave the bay leaves in there and serve it to people.... it's just not right. Some things need to be removed after cooking. My mom ordered Green Curry and I had Panang Curry. I thought the Green Curry was too sweet for my liking. The Panang Curry wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. They need to hire more staff and get their food in check. Overall, I won't be back here for dinner. IF I come back here, it'll only be for lunch....and for carry-out. read more

I've been craving Thai food for a few weeks now. I try to stay good by not eating out a lot but I caved this time. On my way to the dog park with my puppy I saw Jaded Thai. It was a sign! I HAD to have Thai. Ordered two dishes and two apps for the family when I got home. It was very convienient to order online AND receive a 10% discount. I love discounts! Food arrived before the 1 hour estimated time. Jaded Thai is earning points for that. Apps and dishes were abundant. I mean, LARGE portions. Only thing is that everything tasted "just ok". Nothing special. Pad Thai had no peanuts and no lime...came with lemon. HUH? Lemon is new for me. Either way, it was alright but nothing to rave about. Would I order from here again? Probably not. Am I going to recommend it to friends? Probably not. Is it fairly priced? Yes. Was delivery fast? Yes! Driver was very nice too. read more

I live right near here and yet this is never the Thai place we frequent. Portions are a bit small and lunch special portions are even smaller. Just came in here for dinner and the server didn't even greet us and just waited silently for us to tell her how many people were in our party. Then she sat us, I asked for two high chairs and she walked away (away from the high chairs). She wasn't busy, just rude. Food was fine, I would prefer to go elsewhere but since it's the closest to us it feeds the Thai craving. Got the green curry and it was good, their pad see ew is good but again small in portion for the price. Check for a groupon, they normally have one. read more

I bought a groupon for here months ago and realized it was expiring, like, soon. We came the day before it expired and I was very satisfied. I had a curry noodle and I really enjoyed it. I've been to other Thai places and I've never had a dish like this. There was a huge taste of peanut in the sauce, which I loved. The veggies were beyond fresh too. Portion sizes were perfect for one sitting. If we hadn't ordered the rice though, we wouldn't have had any leftovers. The bill was 40 for two noodle dishes and a fried rice. read more

Still not totally sold on this place and I wish I was because it's on a well traveled path for me and great Thai places aren't easy to find. I ventured in on a Friday night around 5:30PM, armed with a Groupon. One other table in the place and only one more table arrived before I left, though there were a few take out orders. I decided to order soup, appetizer and and entree. I selected a chicken satay appetizer, tom ka soup and one of the specials of the night, salmon in penang curry, medium spicy. The satay was served with some barely toasted (or maybe somewhat dry) bread triangles, a small cucumber dish and peanut sauce. Four pieces of 2-3 bites each, overall a decent appetizer. Tom ka was loaded with chicken and vegetables and pretty tasty. One issue that I had was that it took about 10 minutes for the appetizer to come out, then it was immediately followed by the soup, which sat there as I ate my appetizer. It's a pet peeve of mine when orders are delivered almost simultaneously - especially when the place is slow and something like the timing of soup is so controllable. The salmon itself was somewhat of a smaller portion than I expected, but was loaded with vegetables and also included a side of rice. Most of the dish was medium spicy as ordered, but there were one or two bites that blew a lot higher on the Scoville unit scale than was desired. Decent value - the whole meal was $21 plus tax and tip; Groupon saved me $10 of that too. All in all, the food was pretty good, but the timing gaffe with the soup and appetizer keeps my rating at three stars. read more

Easily one of the best Thai places around. Love the lunch specials. Everything is very tasty. $7-8 and comes with a small appetizer and soup of the day. Awesome. read more

Jaded Thai - Table decor - Thai Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Chicken rice soup ruined by stale precooked refrigerated chicken. Got curry with pork. Pork also tasted stale and precooked like it had been in the fridge for a few days. Vegetables were fresh. No Thai chili's, jalapenos were substituted. I see Thai chili's in many of the local supermarkets. It is a shame to spoil a dish with old meat and the wrong peppers. read more

I've been a fan of Thai cuisine for years now and I really thought I was done being "WOW'ed" by new restaurants. I was dead wrong. Jaded Thai was hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The staff was friendly, the look of the restaurant was fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable. Heck, even their website looks great! The food was the real star though. I went with the Spicy Crazy Noodles (5 stars!) and a cup of the coconut soup. The soup was so good, I ordered a bowl of it togo just so I could have it at work the next day! If those two dishes were any indication, I can't wait to get back there to try some other menu items. What are you waiting for?! Check this place out!! read more

My husband and I went to Jaded for a date night. I've been here several times before. Their food is delicious - one of my favorite places to dine. We both enjoyed Penang Curry with Chicken. It was perfect. Even the spicy level - we both like our food spicy, but don't want to be uncomfortable. Had the perfect amount of heat. Our waitress/hostess seemed to be really annoyed we were there. We appeared to be the first customers of the evening. We were barely greeted, and seemed completely indifferent that we were there. We thought maybe it was just an off night and tried to brush it off, but then the next group was greeted enthusiastically and with a smile. That was even more off putting. We will probably try it again - I've enjoyed lunch there several times, but we were very disappointed that the service was so off-putting. Otherwise, this would be a favorite. Side note - they had a lot of gluten-free and dairy-free options and the brown and red ride was delicious. read more

Hidden gem in the suburbs. Would say after looking scanning the menu, that they try too hard with some stuff and makes it seem less traditional Thai. I mean "Crab Rangoon," "Edamame," "Shumai" on the menu as appetizers? And no mango with sticky rice option as dessert?? Really strange. However, the food was pretty good. My fiancee ordered the Jaded Thai fried rice. Highly recommended. The curry powder has great flavor. We could just keep eating more of it. I ordered the Pad Woonsen, which was really good too, but I asked for them to make it spicy. There are 4 levels (mild, medium, hot, and extra hot). I like spicy, so I thought I could handle hot. My mouth was on fire. Personally will need to scale it back next time. So whatever spice they're using is legit if you're into spicy foods. While most of the veggies (broccoli, snap peas, bean sprouts, cucumbers, zucchini) were fresh, I could tell with the fried rice that they use those mixed, chopped corn, green beans, carrots that come frozen. That was slightly disappointing, but wouldn't deter me from coming again. Nice change up for the suburbs. read more

Enjoyed a nice meal! First time eating here and will definitely return with friends or family. Though the restaurant and space is small it's nicely kept and clean. The food was served hot and fresh! read more

Jaded Thai - Veggie dumplings steamed. Good but I've had better in Chicago. - Thai Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

I LOVE THAI FOOD. I moved out to Hoffman Estates about a year ago and found out this was down the street. It's a cute little spot. I've only seen one server there at a time when I do go. Everything I've had from there is delicious. And I've had; Shumai Baby Eggrolls Panang Curry Pad see Ew Yum Seafood salad (beware, you want spicy, YOU GET SPICY) Thai fried rice Jaded Thai noodles Lad Nar and would love to go and try some more and maybe the next time I do stop by there, I'll stop asking for chopsticks (I just realized Thai people don't eat with chopsticks. Oops). read more

Love finding a places like this. Driving by on our way home, my wife and I couldn't figure out what to eat. We randomly saw their sign and said "let's go to Jaded Thai". We were in the mood for spicy so we went with a couple of hot dishes. They only reason this wasn't a five star experience was the fact that there was a real lack of heat. I understand though, they have to cater to their clientele and heat levels are really relative to the person eating it. I will be back Jaded Thai, and i will remember to say extra heat. read more

I have been ordering from here for years and everything I have tried is delicious!! Take out is quick and dine in was nice too. For now they do take out only. Friendly staff read more

Very very good! We had the Cucumber Salad, Shrimp Tom Ka, Mussels, Jaded Pad Thai, Green Shrimp Curry and Thai Custard. Everything was excellent. Will be going back again and trying some other selections! Staff was VERY nice!!! read more

Love their food and service. This is a regular outing for our family of 5. Food is excellent. Ambience is modern and service is great. read more

Excellent service from very friendly staff. The food is very good - had chow fun noodles with vegetables. The veggies were plentiful, fresh and cooked perfectly. read more

Thank you groupon, the food was very good, I loved the noodles. Portion sizes a a bit on the small size compared to what you would expect, but I don't think you would go away hungry. The menu is somewhat limited, but it feel homey and like you have been invited into someone's house. I look forward to trying it again read more

So I found this hidden gem on accident. Was going for movie with mom and aunt at AMC Barrington. We were late for the 6:30 show so we said let's go to 9:20 show and eat first. Looked up Thai places nearby as was craving something Thai as it had been a bit since I had eaten it. It's small family run place next door to a Korean restaurant in a strip mall. The daughter was serving basically all the tables and running the register and I believe the Mom was cooking. One man came later to drop off a dish from the back but not sure if it was the brother. So we ordered drinks and I wanted a beer which they don't serve alcohol so I ordered a Thai Iced Tea (pretty good... tasted like most other places). Then we ordered veggie egg rolls, edamame and small cucumber salad (enough for three but could have had a large cause it was so good but because we were ordering more food we didn't want to fill up plus we weren't sure how it would taste but now I think I would have ordered the large and ate some more because it was light dish). Egg rolls were crispy and tasty and edamame was warm and salty and crispy (maybe could be cooked for another minute but that perhaps would have lost its crunch but it was tasty... it's edamame can't do much with it). The cucumber salad was super tasty. The vinaigrette dressing on it was so good. We added mixed some of the Thai chilli sauce we had with the egg Roz for a little kick. So tasty! I'm not veg but my mom and aunt are so I decided to order all veg dishes so we could all share. Great idea because everything I ate was hella good. For our main entrees basil fried rice at the recommendation of the server she if we wanted tofu or vegetable. So my mom isn't a tofu fan but my aunt and I do eat it so we ordered vegetable and basically they add more and different veggies than what's in the base dish. I'm glad we did. So damn delicious! We also ordered the Panang curry let her recommendation and it was light and tasty and ordered with vegetable also instead of tofu and that was also a good idea because it had more veggies in addition to the base. Lastly we ordered crazy noodles but with tofu this time instead of additional veggies because I thought would be good to have at least one dish with tofu and that's what server recommended also. It was made to perfection. The tofu was nice and crispy not soft like some places and noodles and veggies were great combo with it. All three main dishes were so good and we did hot and medium hot for dishes as we like spicy. You won't die from heat it was good flavor and my aunt can't eat too hot and she enjoyed it. So we ate with the spicy Thai chilli sauce and some left over sweet and sour sauce we had with egg rolls. The combination of the three dishes was amazing which I let the server know several times. Poor girl seemed overwhelmed a tiny bit handling all the tables (I think there are like 10 and they were more than 2/3 full) but she was nice and didn't complain and melt smiling even when we asked for more sauce and napkins. I asked her as o was paying bill it was family owned and she said yes. It's been open for ten years. We live in Wheaton near Naperville and cane to Barrington area just for movie so this isn't close for us however I would drive all the way again just to eat here as I loved it so much! I've been to Thailand and eaten yummy food and this place can definitely hold a candle to their Home country's food! read more

Jaded Thai - Thai Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Tucked away in a small strip mall in Barrington, Jaded Thai is a small upscale Thai Restaurant with lots to offer. It seems they only have one waitress during peak times but she is super energetic and more than willing to help you out with anything you need. The lighting is a bit darker and the tables are smaller (max is about 4 people) but there is a lot this place can offer. I ordered some shrimp sumai which came out in a set of 8 with some dipping sauce. They were pretty good (shrimp surrounded by a type of fried wrap). It was well seasoned and tasted fairly fresh. 4 out of 5 stars. I also got the yellow curry which I thought was fantastic. I'm not typically a fan of curry and even at Jaded Thai, they added coconut milk which is typical of Thai curry. But what I loved most about it was the way they cooked the potatoes and chicken inside the curry. The potatoes were cooked but still firm, the chicken was firm but tender, and they had some onions in there as well which complimented the whole dish. 4 out of 5 stars. I finished it off with some strawberry mochi ice cream. This was clearly bought from a store and just chopped up, but was still good. 3 out of 5 stars. The thai iced tea was fantastic, very flavor filled and cold. It's a refreshing, sugary drink that I think goes well at the end of the meal if you fancy this sort of thing. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and would be a great place for a date or night out away from the kids. It is a bit pricy as I paid $20 for all the dishes above. read more

Anywhere where I can get an awesome meal for $8 is fine with me. This is a quaint little restaurant in a strip mall that I found some Yelp reviews for and thought looked good. Was driving from Crystal Lake into the city and stopped for lunch. They have a special lunch menu where you can choose from about 15 different items that come with the day's soup and appetizer. When you choose your entree, you can pick from chicken, pork, beef, tofu, and shrimp. I was the only one there and they had me menu-ed, ordered, and fed within 10 minutes. Super quick and super good. From the quality of the panang curry that I had, I think their full dinner menu is surely not going to disappoint. Try it out and enjoy. read more

My hubby and I ventured to Jaded Thai this evening after I told him I was craving some Thai food! I LOVED my Veggie Pad Thai Noodles (with a side of peanut sauce)...there were veggies in there that I have never seen in Pad Thai noodles and they were DELICIOUS! I had to stop myself so I wouldn't eat the entire plate! My husband wanted to order the beef red-wine dish, but they were out of beef (I guess thats what we get for going out to dinner at 8:00 p.m.!)...so he ordered the chicken version. He thought his dish was pretty O.K. Note..they do not sell alcoholic beverages here! There prices are great! My Pad Thai noodles were 8.50 and the hubby's chicken dish was about $9. The location is a bit strange, in a strip mall, and we actually almost missed the restaurant because the sign was hard to see. Its a small restaurant, but we went late so it wasn't crowded. The service was pretty solid...we will definately be visiting again...I do wish they were closer so we could order take out from them! :) read more

This was some of the best Thai we have had outside of the city. We went as part of a group of five and had a wonderful time and great food. We started out with three appetizers Baby Egg Rolls (tiny egg rolls filled with shrimp chicken and bean thread noodles) - they were crisp, flavorful and not greasy, Coast Coconut Shrimp (coconut battered fried shrimp) - very crunchy batter, not overly coconutty and the shrimp were still moist and tender, and Fried Tofu - done well - crispy yet the tofu was still soft inside. For entrees, we all chose different items. The Pad Thai Tofu was flavorful and the noodles were cooked well. It wasn't overly sweet as some places may serve it. The Jaded Supreme - I didn't try this one - but the person eating it said she loved it and finished every last bite. Two people had items off of their "Signature entrees" section - Moonlight Chicken (Chicken marinated in yellow curry, pan fried then served on top of spinach and topped with peanut sauce) - it was very tasty, the flavors were reminiscent of chicken satay but with a dinner twist. The other entree from the signature section was Pad Tung Tak (Shrimp, squid and imitation crab, stir fried with wide noodles, onion bean sprouts in a thin sauce) was delicious - the seafood was cooked perfectly - none of it was overcooked, and the squid was extremely tender. I had Panang Curry Chicken - which was excellent. The chicken wasn't overcooked and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Some places the sauce is thin and won't stuck to the rice, other places make it so thick, it is like eating warm peanut butter - Jaded Thai found the perfect spot - not too thick, not too thin. They were very good with matching spice levels to what was ordered. Both the Jaded Supreme and the Moonlight Chicken were not listed as 'spicy' but were ordered as such (medium) and had just a nice kick to it. I ordered my Panang medium (I always order medium the first time I go to a new place, just to be safe) but when I go back, I will order hot because I like it a little spicier than they served it, but it was definitely 'medium' to suburban taste buds. We will definitely be coming back here again! read more

I haven't had much Thai food in my lifetime, but I really enjoyed the food at this place. The first time I had Thai food I thought I could order a spicy dish but it turns out "fairly spicy" in my world means "not spicy" in the Thai food world. So this time I went with a non-spicy Rama with chicken which is chicken and broccoli in a peanut sauce. It was very good and I think next time I could get something a little more spicy. The only complaint I have is that we had to sit at a table right next to the door and big windows and it was maybe 5 degrees outside. That made for a very cold dinner. We had a party of three and when we asked if we could sit at a different table the hostess wouldn't let us push two tables of two together even though there were only 2 other groups in the whole restaurant. read more

This place is a nice affordable place to go for lunch. It's not the greatest Thai food in the world, but the lunch special is 11$. You get soup and salad with an entree. You can choose from 5 different dishes for the lunch special. Service is decent enough, and the place is clean. Food was fresh. Not the greatest place in the world, but for 11$ you get a pretty damn good lunch. better than spending 10$ at McDonalds or Burger king, that's for sure. read more

My husband and I first tried this place at the beginning of the summer and we like it so much we've been almost on a weekly basis since. We've liked everything we've tried pretty much. In particular, we love the baby egg rolls and the Tom Ka soup. I've tried a number of the dishes but my usual favorite is cashew w/ tofu. The pad Thai really wasn't my favorite, so if you're the type that usually gets this, you might want to branch out here - I've liked almost everything else I've had there better than the pad Thai. Prices are typical and service is very friendly. We've noticed that it is getting busier lately, but since we've only been going there since the summer, we aren't sure if it is seasonal or if it is just getting more popular. read more

Great food. Especially like the lunch specials. Good service and food is prepared and served quickly.

My boyfriend and I were arguing about where to go to dinner last Friday. He wanted to go to a new Indian place and I just wasn't feeling it. I brought up Thai so he googled places in the area. This one popped up pretty close to home so we decided to try it. When we drove up I was a bit underwhelmed by the place. It's in a strip mall which never instills a great feeling in me. But I was really glad we stuck with it. Even though there weren't too many other patrons, our waitress was cheerful and very sweet. My bf ordered a Thai iced tea (his favorite!). He loved it, but when I tasted it I felt it tasted like a cigar smells. Yikes! I everyone's taste is different. We ordered the combination appetizer to start. It seemed like a great deal. It was 7 bucks and you got crab rangoon, shumai, and baby egg rolls. They tasted great, but I wish I would have realized that meant that everything in the sampler is mini! That was a bit of a disappointment, however I was buoyed by the lovely entree that was served to me next. I picked the 'Jaded Supreme' and not only was the taste great, but the portion size was perfect too. My bf called it the 'Perfect Kelly Portion'. I agreed because it wasn't too small and wasn't too overwhelming...just right! The entrees along with the service are enough to bring us back. Can't wait to try more on the menu! read more

My God..The Panang Curry was the best thing I have ever eaten and no that is not hyperbole..

My favorite carry out spot in the area! I've been going here for years. You can't beat the price and portions for the lunch specials. My favorites are spicy crazy noodles and the jaded Thai Noddles. Cute locale with fresh and flavorful ingredients. read more

Delish! This place is fantastic. One of the top Thai places in the suburbs. It's hard to find good anything in the burbs...but this place makes the cut. The owner is so friendly and recognizes us every time we go in and that's not too often. Their spice level Is great. We like the green curry tofu, spicy basil ground chicken, basil fried rice, edamame, and the beef spicy crazy noodle. Can't go wrong w any of them. read more

Thank you Jaded Thai for making such delicious food!!! Every time we place an order we feel so blessed! Compliments to the chef!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your commit and dedication to fresh, tender, delicious, tasty food. The word food doesn't do justice for how good your ... your ... cuisine is. We're always grateful and satisfied with are Jaded Thai order. read more

Hi, my name is Will, and I am a Thai Food junkie. Now with that being said, please don't think that I rated this 5 stars because of my addiction. On the contrary, I am more likely to be even more discerning than most folks, considering how often I seek out Thai Food. Located in a strip mall, I found this little gem to be, not only quaint but comfortable. The interior was immaculate, the seating comfortable and the genuine Thai style cooking Over The Top. The staff was both courtious and attentive. The preparation and presentation were both excellent. I will also agree with another reviewer that they do spice their dishes on the sweeter side. I enjoyed my meal so much that I actually ordered a take out for dinner the following evening. Give this place a try and you Will Not be disappointed. read more
