I was in the area and in the mood for some Thai food and this was the only one open on a Monday night. We walked in and the restaurant was empty not sure if that was a sign but we decided to dine in anyways. It looks as if most people order for pickup there were a few that came to pick up. We were seated right away and we started with their chicken potstickers as an appetizer. I ordered Thai Tea and chicken pad Thai and we also ordered the chicken fried rice in curry. The potstickers were delicious I enjoyed the flavors. The soy dipping sauce was a little sweeter than I was anticipating. The chicken pad Thai is where the 3 stars comes from. I was not a fan, the taste was forgettable but the noodles weren't cooked all the way through so they were tough to chew. It just was not my ideal version of pad Thai. The rice on the other hand looked good, I would have ordered that instead. The Thai tea was made correctly and I liked that I got to stir my cream in. It's satisfying to watch. It's almost like going for a fine dining ambiance but the inside comes across dark and dingy. I don't know if I would return. read more

The food was actually very good. Unfortunately, when I went to heat it up the next day, I found a cockroach in my food...I am traumatized read more

We just discovered this little restaurant about a week ago after living in the area for the last eight years. We could not believe how good the food was. We tried the Basil Chicken with vegetables and cashew chicken. Both were excellent and we have returned again for the same dishes. This is definitely our favorite new restaurant and we will continue to add new dishes on our next return. read more

Literally my favorite Thai place. I cannot understate that. The Panang Curry with Noodles Noodle and Pad Sie Ew are my favorites but you can't go wrong with the rest of the menu. Catch the lunch buffet if you can, but their takeout and lunch special is great too. 10/10! :) read more

Made a carry out order and it was fantastic! Pad Thai was incredible! This is my favorite and I'm thrilled! Wonderful job chef! I'll definitely be a returning costumer. read more

Don't let the empty restaurant fool you! My wife and I love coming back because the food is good and the waiter is always nice. Fridays - Mondays offer a small but delicious buffet option. While their appetizer is priced fairly. This was our favorite go to spot until we moved away. Despite that, we try to come here at least once a month. 10/10. read more

Service is friendly, and while there weren't many other diners, there was a decent stream of pick up orders. They have a lunch special with many choices, that comes with two small egg rolls that were hot, crunchy, and filled with glass noodles and veggies. I got the spicy basil chicken with white rice. The sauce was savory, salty, and sweet but very balanced when paired with the rice. It was spicy but just enough, the basil wasn't overpowering, and the chicken was browned but still tender. read more

A wonderful place for lovely Thai food. I'm a big fan of their Kai Tod, Red Curry w/chicken, Chicken Satay, and of course, Pad Thai. The service is always excellent, and I'm a fan of their discount for cash purchases. I do miss the lunch buffet, but I completely understand why they discontinued that. read more

Ordered the Thai chicken fried rice, Tom yum soup via Uber eats. The Thai chicken fried rice comes with a promotion that buy 1 get 1 free. Total spent around $40. Thai chicken fried rice is pretty good. Portion is huge that I only finish half of the portion. It has more ingredients than I thought. A lot of chickens and vegetables which I like it. But the Tom yum soup is not so tasty. I don't like the soup. So rated 4/5. BTW - I got my food pretty quick, it's still very hot when I got my food. I'll try to dine in next time. read more

Food tastes amazing best Pad Thai and curry I've ever had!! Waiter and owner were super friendly and attentive, Highly recommend giving it a try don't let the look fool you this is for sure a place you want to give a go! read more

The worst Thai food I have ever eaten, complete waste of $100. Thai chicken wings were close to being jerky. Chicken Pad Thai, some of the meat was spoiled and it tasted like it had ketchup in it. Red curry was watered down with little flavor. The lemongrass beef had some Thai flavor, but very little and the meat seemed like rehydrated beef that was thin and tough. I have to throw out everything and I ordered 2 for 1, many dishes haven't been touched. Yes, my stomach is paying the price this morning. What a disgusting meal! I will never trust Grub Hub reviews, I should have came here first. 132 1 star reviews shows this is a horrible restaurant. Not sure how it gets good reviews with such horrible, rotten and tasteless food. I am calling the health department today to file a complaint. read more

I'll preface this with that this was a delivery order, we had to reheat, so foods not as fresh as it could be. They didn't not have Pad kee mao on the menu, so the closest thing was hot and spicy noodles, which was probably the same thing. Spicy level isn't as bad as other Thai restaurants, but that's totally fine with me! It's on the sweeter side, and basil flavor is lacking. Lad nar, we got for the kids, cuz they love fat rice noodles with a light sauce. It was just as expected, the kids really liked it. Spicy catfish is always a go-to order for my husband whenever we go to a Thai restaurant. It's always so spicy, which it's true here also. Fish fillet is not coated in batter, which is different than what you'd expect with other fish dishes in Americanized Asian foods. Flavor was great. Would save the sauce to eat with rice. Definitely on the spicier side, but still enjoyable. Pad Thai was definitely our least favorite dish. It doesn't have a strong sour tamarind flavor, and it's way too sweet. Almost like tomato sauce/ketchup noodles. Which isn't bad but just not the Pad Thai I expected. No crushed peanuts or bean sprouts or at least I could tell. But the shrimp was good, it's crunchy and sweet. We enjoyed the Thai platter, as there were a variety of appetizers. The crab rangoon was too sweet, definitely missing the cream cheese sour flavor, but there were a lot more spice/flavors to it. Besides the sweet flavor, I think the weird spice mix was quite interesting. We also had Tom kha. Not shown in the picture. The Tom kha was also missing the sour flavor, so it came off too sweet. But the coconut flavor was very strong, which was great. Veggies inside were delicious too. Overall, Thai food here is missing that acidic zesty flavor profile in many of its dishes, so everything comes off too sweet. read more

Absolutely delicious. Food is fresh, many different options in the menu. Ordered multiple dishes for an office party and everything was ready on time, hot and tasted excellent. Portions are generous and all food was packed perfectly. Thank you Sam and Tasty Thai. We will be ordering again soon!! read more

Good for the price. Drunken noodles were great. Pad Thai no. The wings were bad. Good staff.

Probably the worst tai food I've ever had. Not even edible. So overly salty, soup was terrible as well. I have eaten lots of Thai food and this tastes nothing like Thai food. Waste of money and I threw it in the garbage unfortunately. read more

What a hidden gem! Found it while making a Binny's run and I'm so happy I did! They have a great lunch special. $10.95 for a dish with rice and two egg rolls. I ordered the panang curry with tofu and white rice. My husband ordered pad see eeiw with beef. We weren't sure what to expect for the price, but the food was delicious. We might have found our new favorite lunch spot! read more

RATING: 2/10 just want to preface this by saying that the staff at this restaurant is so nice so that has nothing to do with this rating. However, the food is definitely concerning. We ordered the Panang Curry and the chicken was a bit rubbery/tasted artificial which was already a bit concerning as that could be a sign of the meat not being fresh. The sauce was also overly sweet. My friend and I ended up getting food poisoning that night. Be careful as I am not sure their health standards are up to par! read more

I received a generous portion of Chicken Pad Thai along with 2 egg rolls for $6.95. The Pad Thai was good (not as flavorful as Lovely Thai in Grayslake but good). The egg rolls were exceptional.

ALWAYS out of something..don't even try to order anything with beef, they are always out of it. And still charge the same as with beef which is extra. Seems they don't care to answer here so better business bureau I go. read more

Great food! Always tasty :-) One of my favorite places to stop in for a meal when I am in the area.

This place is great! Our favorites are the wonton soup, hot and spicy noodles (great to add peanut sauce too), and Kai Tod chicken. Really affordable and delicious! read more

Tasty Thai Restaurant - Pad Thai Noodles - Thai Near Me - Vernon Hills, Illinois

This is the first and absolutely the last time I will ever go to this place. I had some business nearby and saw the sign. Having lived in Thailand for 8 years, I'm always looking for new places in America where I can get my favorite Thai dishes. A classic Thai dish is pad kra pow. This is a thai basil fast fried with onions, peppers, hot chilis... very fragrant from the basil and fast cooking. It is usually served with rice on the side. I asked for it with moo (pork) and kai daw, which is a fried egg on top. The waiter was not Thai and had no idea what I was asking for. When he went to the kitchen, he asked if I wanted a scrambled egg on top! I knew I was in trouble then! I said to forget the egg. The food came out in a soupy brown sauce. No chili, little basil, flat awful taste. I asked the waiter if the cook was Thai, he said the Thai cook was off today! I told him that he needed to tell his boss that this food is not Thai... which he told be that it was an Americanized version! I can't speak about the other dishes here... all I know is that I will never try them!!! read more

Very quiet on a Saturday night. The staff didn't really come and check in on us, which was fine because they were right there when we needed something. Pad see eiw was amazzzzing. It wasn't overly greasy like other places. Definitely one of the best I've had. Decent sized portion for sharing. Don't forget the thai iced tea. Will be back. read more

This was by far the most disgusting wonton soup I have ever eaten...and I have eaten many bowls of wonton soup in my lifetime. I stopped at Tasty Thai after a manicure next door. I had gone to the neighboring (fantastic, btw) Thai restaurant, Green Basil a day earlier and was seriously craving curry rice with shrimp. I thought, hey, I'll try this place, see what's it's like. Anyways, I got back to the office with my lunch and opened the soup...the wontons are so huge you need a knife to cut it, seriously? They were like 2x's the size of wontons at most Thai restaurants. So that was a huge mess. Then I open up the wonton and it's a ground up shrimp blob. It both looked and tasted disgusting. I tried one and threw it all out. I would give this place less than a star if I could. The inside of the restaurant was very dated and musty. I should have turned around and walked right back out. While the rice was edible enough the soup was gross enough to keep me away from this place. $17 down the drain. Better places in the area for Thai, for sure! Don't waste your money here. read more

Good pad see ew and fried rice. Fast and fresh, good service. I stumbled across this one and went in despite middling reviews. Overall, better than some higher reviewed places nearby. read more

This restaurant was fine, but in no way was it authentic. I ordered the cashew dish with tofu, and it looks great, but it tasted like sweet and sour sauce all over the tofu with added cashews. I typically order this at other restaurants and even when I was in Thailand, this wasn't even close and definitely wasn't what I had wanted. I took most of it home and ended up throwing it out, because I'm just not a fan of sweet and sour sauce. The service was nice though and I know some people might like this food, but if you are looking for an authentic Thai food place, this isn't it. read more
