    With temperatures below zero we were looking for comfort food while in the Wheaton area at dinner time. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere here including listening to the music consisting of crooners and the soft lit table lamps. Service was given with a smile. I had the Tom Kha coconut soup with chicken. It was flavorful and served in a beautiful china bowl with saucer. My husband had Pad See Ew with shrimp and thought the portion was too small. The prices here are higher than other Thai restaurants that are closer to us.

    Penang curry

    Just moved to Wheaton and have been craving Thai food so I searched Yelp to see nearby options. This came up and it had a 4.0 rating, however the food I ordered was a negative zero! It was god awful! It was a pickup, I ordered the Penang curry with chicken and a side of crab rangoons. The Rangoon's were absolutely disgusting! The filling inside was grainy and not crab at all! I tried eating two and I just couldn't stomach it! It had a weird aftertaste as well. The Penang curry had frozen veggies in it that threw the whole curry off! I've never had anything in my curry except for basil and peppers. The whole meal was awful! Do not want to come in to even try anything else. Hard pass!

    Ordered beef pad see ewe and chicken tom yum soup. Pad see ewe was flavorful and delicious. The tom yum soup on the other hand, seemed off. It had the flavor of tom yum soup, however, there were so many large pieces of galangal and lemongrass compared to the rest of the ingredients. The soup lacked tomatoes and was basically just chicken and mushrooms. I requested for the soup to be mild and two large peppers were just thrown into the soup.

    Restaurant is nicely decorated, food was good and service was fine. Basil Fried Rice with tofu $15 - Delicious fried rice with firm tofu. Pad Kee Mou (Drunken Noodles) with veggies $14 - Noodles were perfectly cooked, great flavor and loaded with veggies (basil, carrots, broccoli, onion, bell peppers). Evil Jungle Shrimp $16 - The sauce is creamy and nice blend of curry and peanut flavor. The bamboo shoot and baby carrots went well in this dish. Thai Custard $8 - Big portion, spongy creamy texture, the flavor missed the spot but worth a try. Located in the same strip mall as Adelle's. Parking lot is small and fills up fast. Metered parking ($0.25/hour) on the street that ends at 6p. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024

    Veggie Pad Thai

    Tried this place with my husband over lunch. We started off with Thai Ice Tea, Veggie Spring Rolls and Crab Cakes. The starters were amazingly delicious. We then ordered beef pad Thai and Veggie pad Thai which were exceptionally tasty as well. The food was served super fresh and hot. The service was great. There is plenty of parking space outside the restaurant. The ambiance was decent. I would definitely recommend this place! MUST TRY! 5 stars food!

    Beautifully designed Thai Restaurant in Wheaton. The music and prompt service makes for a great experience. We also bumped into the owner who was warm and welcoming. Everything tastes great. The Panang curry that I ordered was flavorful and balanced.

    Red Curry Chicken
    Randy P.

    We were in the area and decided to stop by this cozy Thai Restaurant in Downtown Wheaton. We ordered Curry Chicken, Fish Cakes, Fresh Spring Rolls, Papaya Salad and Satay Chicken. Red Curry Chicken was very tasty with fresh Basil and various Greens. The Satay Chicken was also delicious on skewers and perfectly grilled. The Fresh Spring rolls was also very good and a perfect option for vegetarian or health conscious consumer. Service was good and also accommodating for food allergies. Restaurant was nicely decorated with authentic Thai decor. Lighting was dim and would be a nice place for date night. Thank you

    Mango salad
    Dottie L.

    We were seated in the back corner which was nice for us to linger and catch up but we waited for service a bit longer. We ordered the spring rolls, tasty but precut and stacked together so they stuck and fell apart a bit. The mango salad was nice and crisp, the soup was my favorite! We also shared the shrimp Pad Thai, it was ok. Overall the meal lacked the spice typically associated with Thai food. we asked for spice we could add but were just brought chili flakes and dine not cook in it wasn't really helpful. So overall a good meal but not super memorable.

    Chicken fried rice
    Melissa L.

    This Thai bistro is very conveniently located right next to the Wheaton train station! I placed an order for pick up prime time Friday night. The place was super busy! At peak times, I would suggest calling ahead. It's a small space but they made it super cozy and it has nice decor. Perfect for a date night. I would avoid large groups. While the restaurant was nice, they were super behind on all their pickup orders. I was told to arrive at 6:30 for my food, and it wasn't ready until 6:50. There were a bunch of other people waiting for their pick up orders too. You could tell people were a little frustrated. The staff was accommodating, but they seemed a little flustered and there wasn't really a set person manning the front. I think an apology for the wait would have gone a long way with all the pick up people. As far as the food - I really enjoyed my chicken pad see ewe!! It was tasty and the portion was great. Very fresh. I wasn't very impressed with the chicken fried rice. I am still in search of good fried rice in the area! The cost for the pad see ewe was reasonable, but the fried rice was a little pricey for the dish. I would go back! I think I need to come on a different day and try more food to get a good feel for the proper rating.

Maybe not in chi city but certainly around these DuPage boonies.. Tonight for the first time I dared myself to get the green chicken curry - the hotter one. (It's the opposite of Mexican! Holy shit he said to Self) For some reason unlike normally, I didn't ask them forany extra veggies, didn't tell them to cool it down, I didn't say anything I just said give me the green curry with chicken. And it was easily the best thing I've eaten in months. Perfect balance of chicken to vegetables to this authentic curry sauce which brought me right up to my heat limit but no more and the taste was full, varied and incredible! (Pad see ew w/ beef and Chicken pad Thai were my common go tos and are still excellent year after year). Bon appetit in Thai language!

I liked that the lunch special had some cucumber pieces to cleanse the palate. My Pad Thai reminds me of the college Thai food that is well made enough but might seem a bit premade. If you like the profile, slightly sticky and chewy noodles with pretty strong sweet flavor profile, this is not bad. Egg roll was light and crunchy, some might like that. Overall I think the Thai flavor is a bit muted, and it's leaning sweet to fit non-Asian palate. It's not bad, but also I think there are better Thai places around Chicago.

The chicken is pounded incredibly thin, yet remains juicy and is perfectly spiced and cooked. The bite size rolls are always crunchy and flavorful, especially when dipped in either the lightly sweetened dressing provided or their perfectly balanced chili oil. Strangely enough, however, I usually devour the little cup of cucumber and onion salad that comes with it before anything else - so yummy! The service is always quick, accurate and very friendly; and I'm really happy to be able to whole-heartedly support a hometown business.

They no longer serve tofu(!) and you can't get a Thai iced coffee or tea, either. The egg rolls are crispy and mostly noodles; the spicy Thai basil had delicious basil but wasn't spicy (I hesitate to order "spicy" at a Thai restaurant but apparently here one should). I was here early (4pm) on a Friday; the host fired up the kitchen for me. If you want Thai food while playing slots, this is a great place; if you're looking for Thai food full stop, you should probably go elsewhere unless you just need a quick pad thai or yellow curry. Ambiance is fine - seats are comfortable, there are wooden plaques on the walls...table seating only as the booths were torn out for the slot machines. $21 plus tip for egg rolls and spicy (not really) Thai basil.

Now the food : albeit, a bit oily, the dishes are usually very tasty and freshly made. BUT*** warning : I must say the dine-in service and pick up was absolutely unprofessional and rude. And time consuming. though I like to give people the benefit of the doubt (and perhaps he had a really bad day) the owner literally and repeatedly came into the restaurant, took over our order and came into my 78 year old mother's face and started yelling at her and called her a nasty old woman because she asked his wife the chef/COOK*-for extra mushrooms. And how dare we criticize his wifes cooking (which we never ever would or had done). !! In actuality, it was the second time my mother had to ask for mushrooms, as they were not put to her expectation the first time.

So that's that. but if you do decide to try it anyway - be sure to specify if you do not want dish sauce or egg in the dishes, especially the fried rice. All the best !
