I'm in Chicago for work and I'm staying on the Mag Mile. I had a craving for Thai and decided on Silver Spoon because it was closest to my hotel and I'm feeling lazy. With mixed reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a good experience. I ordered the tom yum with shrimp, and the pad thai with vegetables and tofu. Portions were generous and prices were very affordable, especially considering the location. I had to add a splash of soy sauce to the pad thai bur overall the flavor was good. The one thing I will note is that if you order your meal "spicy" (level 3 out of 4), it will be very spicy! I can normally handle a lot of heat and often have to add additional hot sauce/chili flakes at other Thai restaurants, but the level of spice here was on the upper limits of what I could handle. read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE Service. To begin, the stairs down to this basement restaurant are treacherous. There is no handicapped entrance. Then music is blasting at the restaurant that is completely anathema to the ambience. Asked by several tables to turn it down..or off ... finally they complied after 20 minute me countless complaints. Despite being only one third full, took 15 minutes to get waited on. They hav a new menu which means higher prices and worse yet, the protein choices are in such a small font as to be UNREADABLE ! As for ordering, 3 entrees came out in a reasonable timeframe, but the fourth which only involved vegetables and tofu ( which was so hard and rubbery that it probably would bounce) --- came out 20 MINUTES later and NO APOLOGIES offered. So long Silver Spoon - your spoon is totally tarnished. My advice is to order to go if you still want to eat here. read more

This is a cute escape in downtown. Love this place for thai food and very affordable. Ingredients are so fresh and tasty. Service was good. It has a home feeling and the ambience feel like a cute diner. read more

Silver Spoon Thai Restaurant - Papaya salad and Basil Fried Rice - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came in for quick carry out. Because this was only meant to be a snack to hold me over until dinner, I only ordered the chicken satay and a Thai tea. Both were delicious! I pretty much finished my Thai tea while waiting for my satay. The chicken satay was bigger than I expected which was nice and the accompanying peanut sauce was made well. Service was good. The two young ladies working were nice and efficient in getting our group order together. A great hole in the wall spot for Thai! read more

Went here with some friend for a Thursday night dinner. The place is a little hole in the wall restaurant with minimal seating so it took a while to get a table for 4. The service otherwise was decent. Here's a review of the food items: - Veggie Curry Puffs: Reminded me of a classic Indian samosa. It was some filo dough filled with some spicy potatoes and we thoroughly enjoyed them! - Gyoza: The chicken filled gyoza itself was pretty plain as expected from a gyoza. The outside was crispy. The sauce it came with was quite viscous. Overall, a decent starter but definitely not better than the veggie puffs. - Green Curry: The green curry was delicious. It came in a nice terracotta bowl. It was a pretty decent portion and all the veggies seemed fresh. - Panang Curry: It was good, but came in an interesting plate. There was plenty of chicken in it and the flavor was delicious. - Kai Soy: The presentation of this dish was beautiful. The flavor was good. 5/5 - Thai tea: DELICIOUS! - Thai tea with lemonade: Sour enough to make you pucker. If you like sour, you will enjoy this drink otherwise, I would stick to a classic Thai iced tea. Overall, the experience was pretty pleasant. The food came out quick and it was good! I would recommend going here for some good Thai food in the city. read more

I've gotten Pad See Ew from numerous restaurants around Chicago and this might be one of my favorites. It's flavorful and delicious. A lot of pad see ew I've had in Chicago lacked flavor. I ordered takeout, so I didn't experience the service, but the ambiance was giving a more traditional Thai restaurant feel rather than the overly decorated and city vibes, which I did like. I would love to dine in another time. I noticed a lot of people drinking Thai tea, which looked delicious. read more

I don't live far from this establishment and ordered for delivery I had the pad kee mao noodles and it was the worst food I've ever had. The food wasn't fresh, the noodles when you tried to eat them was a literal solid block of lukewarm noodles that was the same consistency you get with poorly microwaved food except it came with cold tofu and cold vegetables. Never choosing this establishment again. read more

I was visiting my family in chicago and we (3) went here for dinner 1.5 hours before closing. Service was awful, and there was a clear distinction between how we were treated versus EVERY other table in the restaurant. We waited 25 minutes before we were even addressed (water/silverware) and additional 20 minutes for our food. At the end, we were greeted with "sign here" and no eye contact when it came to signing the check for a tip and the table next to us got a "thank you so much enjoy your evening" on their way out. It was insulting and felt like a hostile environment to me. I couldn't recall anything that we could have done wrong as customers as well to be treated like that. We ordered pad Thai based on the recommendation that this place had the best pad Thai ever. It was the WORST pad Thai I've ever had in my life. It was nothing but sweet and lacked flavor completely. Additionally, you could see that they topped the broccoli without cooking it (because I asked for no eggs and broccoli instead) and it was an afterthought for them. The drunken noodles were delicious BUT lacked noodles??? And 90% of that dish was vegetables (the picture was before we even took a bite). I can't recommend based on my experience and can't recommend that others go in if they are going to be treated and disregarded the same way my family and I was. I felt hurt at the end of the meal especially with the way the host (who looked like she ran the place) dismissed us for the check after she ran the card. read more

It is in a ground level unit downstairs so it is a bit dim. The outdoor seating out front is not theirs. Lunch special deal is good and they give you a lot of food. Service was fast also. Flavor was a bit overdone for my liking on the noodles. read more

Silver Spoon Thai Restaurant - Lunch special crab rangoon - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This has been my go to Thai spot for 3 years, but now they have raised prices and the food has gone bland and tasteless. I've started ordering from different places instead. Today I tried getting Silver Spoon Thai again and was very disappointed. Used to love it but now I won't be eating here anymore read more

Place was quaint, service was kind, food was absolutely terrible. Pad see ew was the only one that was decent. Pad thai tasted like ketchup. drunken noodle tasted too salty for me. Curry was nothing special. papaya salad was all lime. tempera was just variation of onion rings (not the typical tempura batter). Overall, food was not up to par read more

Wonderful little Thai place. Food was great, service was quick, open late, cute interior, and packed. Place never slowed down. Had Chicken Pad Thai, Tom Khan, and a Seafood Salad. Finished it all, not because it was not enough, but becauae we couldn't even think of leaving anything so good behind. read more

Food was trash. Pad Thai was flavorless, and fried rice was a pile of mush. Short changed on chicken in both dishes. Maybe $5 worth of actual food and paid $35 for it. Pure waste of money. read more

The cuisine is excellent. A lot of different things on the menu from your average Thai restaurant. Be prepared to wait as it seems busy all the time. It's located right next to the Thai consulate so that has to say something about the quality. It's a constantly bustling environment which adds some excitement to your meal. read more

Delicious and super fast! Portion sizes are also really worth what you pay for. Highly recommend!

The food is fantastic. They always get the order right even with a lot of modifications and it's very quick.

Seriously can't beat the price for thai here, especially in the River North/Streeterville/Near North Side area! Their lunch specials are great (appetizer and main dish, with several popular options to choose from) and their dinner prices are very reasonable as well! Whenever I see crispy noodles, I always have to get it, so I got the crispy curry noodle (which had panang curry--has a peanut taste to it if you're not familiar) with chicken and a thai iced tea. Would go back to try other dishes, and maybe do BYOB next time! Friendly and attentive service--my water glass was always filled and they checked to see if everything was fine a few times. It's a small basement space which gives a much more warm and casual vibe than most restaurants in the area, which I enjoyed! read more

Silver Spoon Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I recently ordered from Silver Spoon Thai on a Friday night, and was slightly disappointed. We ordered Vegetarian spring rolls, Spicy Drunken Noodles and Chicken Panang curry. My friend felt that Panang Curry was a bit solid and not in liquid form as we would expect a curry to be. The spring rolls were good, and different. We were expecting spring rolls to be crispy however it was a unique combination with minced veggies, fried tofu rolled in a sheet and I also liked the plum sauce it was paired with. Spicy Drunken noodles were decent, it could have more veggies though! read more

delicious thai food at reasonable prices. Pad thai was hot and spicy per my request. service was good.

We've been going here for years and it's super consistent, very fast and tasty. It can get busy but they somehow keep up. Phad se-ew is great as well as the cashew chicken. The location and restaurant are nice, clean and convenient. read more

I heard that Streeterville doesn't have good Thai food, however, Silver Spoon is an exception. I tried Silver Spoon and was surprised at their Khao Soi, as it was packed with flavor and hit the craving. I was a little disappointed with the chicken in the Khao Soi because it didn't really taste fresh, but the Khao Soi's curry sauce is delicious. Silver Spoon gets BUSY during dinner, and it can be a little cramped inside. However, their service is fast and friendly and you shouldn't have to wait too long. read more

The restaurant is small and the food are very comforting. My friend and I were there during Chicago Marathon Week, we ended up coming in to this restaurant for our carbo loading. The portions were generous, we ordered shrimp fried rice , beef basil, sweet & sour chicken (just ok) and Bamee BBQ Pork was yummy. The appetizers such as Tom yum soup, fried tofu and sample platter were good too. This is the place to go when you are craving for some comfort food. read more

I have to say that the Pad Thai was so bland I wondered if I lost my sense of taste. I mean zero taste or spice of any kind.

I ordered pad Thai and this has to be the worst pad Thai ever!!! 10 bean sprouts Under cooked noodles Over cooked chicken dry as the desert No scallions No tamarind in the sauce Bad wait service Don't waste your money!!!!! read more

3.5/5 overall. Solid on the common Thai dishes and I couldn't finish the more uncommon ones. Might more more on me and my palate. Pad Thai - 3.5/5. Nice level of fish sauce. Veggie turned out well. Yellow Curry - 3.5/5. Light and tasty. Banana sticky rice - 1/5. Really odd rice, couldn't finish Sai Krog Le-Sarn - 1/5. Felt well fried and made, but the heavy pork flavor and kick of the spice was too much for me. Couldn't finish. read more

Somewhat tucked away, silver spoon is a solid thai restaurant in Chicago. The ambience was very much authentic and homie. Service was great and there was no wait at all.

Perfect temperature the best Thai food. Obsessed with vegetable egg roll read more

We make sure we stop here every time we visit Chicago. The food is excellent and reliable. I find very few Thai restaurants that taste like the food I ate while living in Bangkok. This is one of them. Also, very reasonably priced--31.18 after tax for both the curry & noodles. So good! read more

Grabbed dinner here when visiting a friend in the city! Cheap, no-frills Thai restaurant. The crab ragoons were delicious and crunchy. I feel like most restaurants don't season the filling well but Silver Spoon nailed it. I ordered the pad see ew with today, which came in a generous portion and was made with thick, chewy rice noodles. Not the best I've ever had but it certainly hit the spot. My friends ordered the red curry and soft shell crab curry, both of which were also pretty good! Overall, great place to grab a quick and yummy dinner. read more
