It has a pretty boring strip mall location but it's actually got a casual classiness thing going on. Best things are the curries. They have tons of these. Basic looking when first coming here. It's got a better looking interior but even this isn't that impressive. They're still able to create a classiness about it though. A lot of great things to choose from. It's about $12 for the cheapest curries, and they have a lot. Some of these were unfamiliar to us. I got the Mussaman Curry. This is coconut curry with onions, peanuts, and potatoes. Had a spicy type of sweetness to it. This was really great at lunch. She got the Yellow Curry. This has onions and potatoes. All these have a protein choice. We got tofu. A lot more on the menu. There's also noodles or rice if wanting something that's more solid. For sure we could go here again. It's one of those places that closes in the middle of the afternoon a couple of hours. There's plenty to get for vegans and vegetarians.

Their menu offers a great selection of Thai and Pan-Asian favorites. We started with an appetizer of Chicken Satay. Grilled chicken(4) marinated in curry and served with a peanut dipping sauce and pickled cucumbers. Absolutely delicious. For our entrees my wife had Chicken Rama Thai Noodles (GF) which is pan fried noodles, broccoli and carrots topped with a peanut sauce.. delicious! I tried Lad Nar which is wide rice noodles topped with a house gravy,chicken and broccoli. It is more like a soup but very good. Plan on taking food home as their portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. With such a huge selection of noodle,rice fish and curry dishes,we will definitely be back.

We usually have our go to spots for Thai and Laos dishes but no where near us. First look in, at 8:30pm on a typical Saturday dinner night. Place was super packed. But the staff and service quickly took us in without any reservations. As foodies, we quickly asked the waitress what is their authentic dishes that they offer here. They advised us their Thai/Laos sausage. We also ended up ordering their naked chicken wings with the papaya salad. Fire super fire! We also order their Kha soup that went well with their fried basil seafood noodles! The ambience is classy casual just a good place to sit down with your family and have a very good Thai authentic meal! Hands-down, going to be back with the rest of the family!

The food is simply amazing! The quality and flavors are at the best I've ever experienced. The prices are also incredibly reasonable, making it a great value for money. It reminded me of the delicious Thai food I had when I visited Thailand in my younger days. The service was good, although I did feel a bit rushed since there was only one waitress. However, the food was worth the wait, so it wasn't a major issue. The ambiance was great. The decor was warm and welcoming, and it reminded me of the restaurants I used to love back in the day. It was a refreshing change from the modern, sterile restaurants that are so common these days. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem. It's a must-try for anyone who loves Thai food.

Ambiance was lacking as much as the cushions in the booths... who covers wood over with vinyl and does not bother to stuff the vinyl? Food was overpriced for mediocre flavor and its slow and basic presentation... the Pad Khee Mao with Chicken ordered... was the absolute worst I have ever experienced. Who pointd at red pepper flakes and call that red pepper? Or I piece of diced baby corn in the same shade of beige as the tiny random bean sprouts to show there are vegetables?

Tried Phoday recently and honestly left pretty disappointed…read more We ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls, steak pho, and the Korean BBQ-style rice plate ($16.75). The biggest letdown by far was the rice plate. For that price, I expected a decent portion and quality--but instead, I got 4 tiny pieces of beef short ribs that were almost entirely fat with barely any actual meat. It honestly felt more like eating pork belly than short ribs. It just felt like a total rip-off for what you get. I wouldn't recommend ordering that dish at all. The rest of the food was okay, but nothing that would make me want to come back, especially considering the price point. Service was slow. Had to ask for water refills. Restaurant is clean and spacious.

Their food has no flavor except for this little joint in Arlington Heights. I started with the papaya salad, which was good. Can't go wrong with that. Then I ordered my masaman curry with lamb. It was something I never had but for sure I will be having AGAIN. Also, had the pad Kee Mow (drunken noodles) these are typical Thai dishes that you should not f-up but several places here DO! This place was on point! Drunken noodle was delicious too. Although, the service was just ok but I guessed it worked out bc it kept us in the restaurant longer. What set the night apart was the LIVE JAZZ!!!! The trio was Amazing! Please if you are in the area & you looking for authentic Thai cuisine... check this place out ... you might like it! I know I did!!!

Every entree comes with a side choice--the Tom Yum soup and chicken potstickers were both solid options. As for the mains, it was a bit of a mixed bag: Massaman Curry (Chicken): Rich, full of flavor, and absolutely essential to pair with rice. Papaya Salad: Outstanding--super refreshing with a great crunch. Pad Thai & Pad See Ew: Disappointing protein quality. The chicken in the Pad Thai was dry, and the beef in the Pad See Ew was sliced paper-thin and equally dry. Basil Duck: Surprisingly bland and lacked flavor. Overall, some highlights, but the meats and flavor consistency could definitely use some improvement.

The fried tofu, fried rice and noodle dishes would highly recommend. They are our staple dishes. The industrial decor with open ceilings make the space appear open and spacious. However, it creates a space where the noise fills the room. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely bustling and gives a lively feel while dining. Staff were friendly. The wait staff seemed very busy managing tables. Service wasn't slow, but definitely felt their restaurant is always at capacity which is a good problem to have! But just expect to have a wait while there.

The Din Tai Fung of Illinois is finally here!…read more My family and I have been chasing the high of Din Tai Fung's soup dumplings for years, but there has always seemed to be an absence of restaurants like this in the Midwest. Thankfully, Phat Phat stepped in to fill that gap. We drove 30 miles for a late lunch around 2:30 p.m. to hopefully beat the crowds. There's a huge parking lot in the back, the building itself is incredibly unique, and the interior is absolutely beautiful. It feels modern while still being warm and inviting. We wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered two baskets of the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, the Enoki Mushroom appetizer, Chicken Fried Rice, Phat Phat Chicken, Nasi Campur, and finished the meal with the Mango Sago. Everything was incredible. The soup dumplings definitely filled the void that Din Tai Fung left behind. Every dish was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served piping hot. The Mango Sago was the perfect palate cleanser and a refreshing way to end the meal on a hot summer day. The standout for me was the Enoki Mushroom appetizer. That will be a must-order every time we come back. We also have Indonesian family and have visited Bali, so we were excited to try the Nasi Campur. It was spot on. The satay is another must-order in my opinion. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and the rest of the staff were just as welcoming and pleasant. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we'll absolutely be back.

I am so impressed with this restaurant and enjoyed it so much. I will definitely be back to try the make your own stir fry!

Checked out this restaurant in Schaumburg that has Asian fusion. It certainly is a tired concept…read moreand also tiring is the excessive prices. Big Bowl is a name that's pretty inaccurate. One thing is certain is that bowls are used here. The amount of food on these bowls is skimpy. Basic looking atmosphere. It's one of those big bright modern interiors with lots of booths and lights. The parking lot was pretty full but many of those people were probably eating at another restaurant. A lot of familiar sounding items. The drinks and food are overpriced. It's about $13 for the cheapest cocktail. The one I got was the Big Bowl Seasonal Margarita. This was made with Tres Agaves Blanco tequila. Okay potency. There wasn't anything that special about it though. Has a happy hour but it's limited basically. Includes slightly cheaper prices on a few beers, wines, and appetizers such as edamame. The food is kind of a ripoff. It's about $15 to get the cheapest entrees. The one I got was the Spicy Thai Green Curry With Tofu. It came in a bowl. There was baby bok choy, green beans, green curry sauce, peas, and vegetables. Choice of noodles or rice. This also comes with a salad. Just costs too much for not a lot. She got the Pad Thai. Comes with a choice of protein. Tofu is the choice for vegetarians. Looked basic. The rest of the menu has things such as hibachi. For sure it has okay flavor. It's located close to Woodfield Mall. The prices are too high for portions.

I would keep coming back to this place for the wonton soup but if I'm going to be with a group I would try other dishes because I saw other people ordering them and they look good. Service was great parking is not an issue it's in the plaza and check them out. Definitely coming back for sure Happy eating!

I SAW A MOUSE CRAWLING INSIDE THIS RESTAURANT! AFTER ALREADY SEEING A ROACH IN THE BATHROOM…read more I dined here on 8/7 and was seated near the bathroom/hallway leading toward the kitchen. I first saw what appeared to be a roach in the bathroom and tried to brush it off. Then I saw a MOUSE crawling inside the restaurant. My food had just arrived, I took one bite, and immediately lost my appetite, not to mention ton the food looked like it was a dollar store microwaveable dinner! There were also mops and piles of clothing/belongings sitting in the hallway near the kitchen area, which only added to my concerns about cleanliness. What made it worse was the response. There was no manager available, staff acted like I was making the mouse up, refused to take my concern seriously, and still made me pay for food I couldn't stomach eating after what I witnessed. Seeing both a roach and a mouse during ONE visit is enough for me. I have filed a formal health department complaint requesting an inspection. I would absolutely not eat here again.

We've eaten here many times in the past and had a good experience. This visit was poor at best!…read morePlease note: (ALL PICTURES ARE FROM MY PREVIOUS VISITS NOT TO THIS VISIT) Unfortunately this visit is going to be the last time. Both the service and quality of food has gone way down from what they were famous for. The waitress spilled my tea, also dipped her finger in my tea, had no apology or offer to exchange it with a fresh cup. I had to ask her for a fresh cup of tea. Then the other server that brought our entrees spilled my husbands tea and again no offering to getting a fresh cup. We had to ask AGAIN for a fresh cup! While the portions were generous, the quality of all the food has gone way down. The special family recipe of thier shrimp dish Gan Pong is nothing but fried shrimp with dried chili peppers and no flavor. The Hunan spicy beef and chicken appeared to be all globs and sticky because of excessive and over use of corn starch used during the cooking process. This dish didn't have any unique flavor that one would expect. Previously we had experienced a difference in the food, taste and quality and that's what kept us returning. Sadly, after this experience I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or come back! I'd rather stick with Yu's Mandarin than drive to this place! Quality always wins over quantity in my books!
