The food here is amazing... but the customer service is TERRIBLE. Head over to BonaFide Thai. Same recipes & menu but under the management of the Thai House owners daughter is what I heard. They are fantastic at BonaFide. Still amazing food, quick service, kind service, everything that the Thai house failed out. I will NEVER go to the Thai House again... here is why: Terrible customer service. The last time I went we waited 2 hours for our meal & missed our movie. I asked for a discount they told me no. The time before that I ordered satay chicken & it was not cooked threw. They said no discount on that. The time before they got my order wrong. The time before that we waited an hour for our meal. That's not all... the list goes on. I just kept going back because the food is so good if they get it right but now I never have to go again. read more

Without a doubt this place is worth 5 Stars. We heard a lot about this place from friends and colleagues and decided to try it for ourselves. We arrived early for dinner on a Saturday evening, we were surprised just how soon the place filled up. We were greeted by our waiter (Charlie) and we soon placed our order of Egg Rolls for appetizer and Panang Chicken Curry and Chicken Pad Thai for mains. The food service was quick and these dishes were the best we have had since we were last in Thailand, great flavor and the quantity was perfect. It was apparent that this place uses fresh ingredients to get the delicious flavors. We decided to finish our meal with Fried Banana and Ice Cream which was great as well. Service, quality and taste was first class. read more

Thai House - Panang chicken curry and Pad Thai. - Thai Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

This place is great. Ordered the Pad See Ew and so delicious. The noodles were so wide and tasty and plenty of chicken, carrots, broccoli in a terrific sauce. Also had the Thai egg rolls, which were good, but not too memorable. Restaurant is very clean and staff so friendly. read more

The durries are LIT. I have never tried anything else, don't need to. It can get spicy, just gotta know how you like it. Also, the peeps are friendlys read more

So far my favorite place to eat in Bloomington. The place is a little older but it is kept clean. Staff is very friendly and have done a great job every time I've been. I've tried multiple dishes but keep going back to the Panang curry. read more

Long time restraint in Bloomington and Normal, a real hidden gem, authentic Thai but other orientalist favorites from all over the world , always try something new and this is the place which had surprisingly different food under one roof - go here when you can't figure out what you have an urging for. Healthy food can be put together just tell them what you would like and they will cook it read more

I took my Family here tonight as a pre Christmas meal. I booked the table early. All fine the table was ready. We ordered Starters , They were good, There was 5 of us and a Child. We ordered our main course. My Son asked for a side of the Yellow Curry sauce, Strike one, They said they don't do it as a side. Strike two . The little one had ordered Chicken fingers and Fries. When she tried to eat them , They were rock hard. They would have broke her teeth. Server took them back to redo her order, 10 mins later came back and told us they were out of fries. Meanwhile we were all finished our meals. ( Don't worry she did not go hungry. ) Strike three. They took the cost of her meal off the bill. When i looked at the bill it was for $88, The Girl cashing me out told me it was $116. Told her i don't think so and to check it again. Finally it was sorted. All in all i really don't think we will be in a hurry to go back. read more

Why is it closed on Monday? Who knows, but this shit is gas. Best Thai in bloomington for sure. Very nice and they always made sure meal was properly prepared read more

Absolutely every dish on the menu is delicious. Very unique flavors in each dish makes you want to order more. I love Thai and this place is by far the best I've ever had. It's a small local business with a quaint warm and cozy feel. We ordered the Tom Yum Pad Thai, Red Curry, Thai Basil Noodles, and Cashew Chicken which were all delicious with their own unique flavors. read more

I used to go here allot and it has been a few years since I been here. I always get the Rama chicken. 100% great as usual

Favorite Thai place on Bol-no. The penang curry and drunken noodles are my favorite. Food tastes the same always. Love family owned restaurants. read more

Cannot stress how wonderful their food is. We regularly get Pad Thai, garlic tilapia fried rice, Rangoon's, & pepper steak. We've tried a number of the house specialties and they have not disappointed either! Thai house is my favorite Asian restaurant in town and probably one of my favorites overall. Worth the visit! read more

While on business travel, my co-worker and I chose this spot. The place was clean, service was very pleasant and attentive, Our server was very happy and liked her job. You can tell this is a local favorite as there was a good crowd and a lot of carry out orders - always a good sign. We ordered two appetizers and main dishes and the food was fresh and very good. I will be going back next time in town. read more

Have eaten their food twice now; the first time we happened to order takeout on the day when they were comp'ing all the food, in honor of the Thai King who had just passed away. I thought that was a thoughtful and generous gesture. The second time we ate at the restaurant on a recent Friday night, we got there right before they got packed, about 5:30pm. Both times the food was solid. I especially enjoyed the tom kha (coconut milk-based) soup. The curry entree I ordered as medium spicy seemed more like rather spicy, in my opinion, but it was tasty and perfect for warming up on a cold winter night. The hospitality was great--our server was attentive and friendly. Will return and would recommend! read more

Amazing pad Thai!!!!! This is the best Thai place I have ever been to in the US!!!! They also have fortune rolls :D

When we lived in the area, Thai House was our go-to for Thai food. I always got either the green curry or pad kra poa with tofu. They always had a nice kick to them. We always got the cucumber salad, and it too had a nice kick, helped by the jalapenos on top. So I was really looking forward to meeting an old friend for lunch here and enjoying some great food and conversation. Service was slow but friendly (nothing has changed there) but hey, the food should be worth the wait, right? Well, except it wasn't. The cucumber salad is now chunks of cucumber rather than the dainty slices that soaked up the rice vinegar of days gone by. Also, I hardly had any vinegar and there were no jalapeno slices. If I had never had this salad before, I probably wouldn't have thought too much about it, but this was always my favorite part of any meal here in the past. I knew as soon as I saw my lunch plate of pad kra poa with tofu that I was going to be disappointed. It looked a bit thrown together and the sauce wasn't as thick as it used to be. While everything was cooked, it had hardly any spiciness. This dish used to have a really nice heat to it. I don't know what's changed here: perhaps the owner is no longer in the kitchen, but next time I'm in the area and fancy some Thai food, I'll be heading over to Bona Fide Thai instead. read more

The service is excellent, very attentive, very respectful, and courteous. The prices are around $8/plate for dinner. The best dishes, in my opinion are the chicken or beef pad Thai and my VERY VERY VERY favorite: the yellow chicken curry. (For the yellow curry, they give you enough for 2 meals and it actually makes SUPERB leftovers.) The Thai iced teas are good, but very rich. And for the almost $4 charged, you may only want it for dessert and to share with your dinner partner. They taste closely to an orange creamsicle, but I think it's made with coconut milk instead, so there is a tropical taste. Overall, the Thai House may just be the best restaurant in town. By FAR the best Thai/Chinese/Japanese/Asian restaurant in town. read more

I gave this five stars because it is as good as it gets in Bloomington, IL. If you want better Thai food go to a big city or go to Thailand, silly! I don't understand why people say it's pricey - you get what you pay for. No, it's not a bargain food truck that pulls in front of your house and delivers a steaming plate of Pad Thai to you for $3. Sorry. The service is excellent. The establishment is clean. They are prompt with to-go orders. If you're visiting Bloomington and want to try something off the beaten path, grab some Thai House Tom kha and then head over to Grady's to be greeted by the sounds of America's children. read more

Good Thai food in Bloomington Normal. Egg rolls and chicken satay were perfect. I had Panang Noodle entrée. It's a sweet and spicy curry dish. It was too sweet in my opinion. Staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it for Thai in central IL, a solid 4 star establishment. read more

Thai House serves authentic Asian cuisine. Service was excellent. Had the chicken pad Thai that was very tasty and full of flavor with just a little spice to let you know it's there. Ginger and honey tea was so good i drank the whole pot. Thai house is a must visit. read more

Looks like a thai family owned restaurant. Good dishes and good desert. They were out of mango for the mango sticky rice so I ended up having the ice cream sticky rice which was a good option as well. Hope this helps. Cheers read more

Thai House came as a recommendation from a local and boy am I glad I tried it out. Very friendly service in a cute clean restaurant. I ordered the Crab Rangoon for an appetizer and they were delicious. I loved the plum sauce they serve them with. Not to sweet. Just right. I ordered Shrimp Pad Thai for my dinner. It had a liter sauce than I'm use to but very good. I will come again read more

Thai House is truly a hidden gem in Bloomington, IL. Bloomington-Normal used to house three to four Thai restaurants. Although it fell somewhere in the middle, once all of the others closed down, they really stepped their game up. Their full menu included new items and the quality of their dishes became divine. Service is always kind and attentive, but wait times on food do take quite some time so be ready to wait. Thai food that is cooked to order takes time and you can taste the time/expertise they put into all of their food. It is well worth the wait. I highly recommend their papaya salad (Thai style), Kuay Chop noodle soup, and Neu Nam Tok (spicy). Honorable mention goes to their Yentafo noodle soup which is so-so. On weekend nights, they give out a condensed, limited menu so they can focus on getting the food out in a timely manner. The restaurant is always packed during this time so expect a 5-10 minute wait to be seated. You can still ask for the full menu but they might not make the dishes for you depending on how busy it is. Therefore, I do recommend coming on a weekday when it is not as busy so you can truly enjoy their menu items as they were meant to be. Only items I would not recommend is their soft-shell crab and their pho. I paid over $12 for two skimpy, shriveled deep fried crabs. Their pho was salty and really dark. Also, the Thai Tea is so-so, a little too sweet. I love this Thai place and I plan on coming here often for years to come. You should too! read more

Delicious food! Highly recommend. We've gone back several times and keep trying new dishes each time. Their Pad Thai is amazing and I also love the Pad See Ew. They are also great dishes for beginners just trying Thai food for the first time (like my husband). read more

This is biased I'll say that immediately because I nearly worked there for 5 years, (mind you this was a couple years ago) but this is truly my thai home. Food is fantastic and like all good places In town I grew up with thai house and for that matter the owners as well. I don't go nearly enough but it should be said if you wanted food that was cooked with a deep passion and respect for the ingredients go to thai house. If you're still reading this then you're not heeding my advice. Still reading? Just go already, read more

Food is good but the service sucks. There is no professionalism and they don't honor their reservations. I went there with a party of 14, we were told that the wait time is 20 min, the hostess wrote down my name on the wait list (mine was the only name). After 35 minutes of waiting and no updates, I inquired about our table. The hostess who initially told us 20 min was nowhere to be found. The new hostess behind the counter (an old lady) told us that there is no reservation for us. Then another hostess came and said that we'll have to wait another 35-40 min. When I told her that we have already waited 35-40 min, she starting yelling that "Sir, you have to understand the restaurant business". So we left. Message to the administration: I don't need to understand the restaurant business, you need to understand that if you don't provide service in a timely manner and as promised, customers will walk away. They take reservations, but whats the point of taking reservations when you are not going to honor these? read more

Have heard some great things about Thai House from friends, and also read some good reviews. Ordered take out, restaurant looked quaint and nice. I have had some great thai food in my day, and Thai House ranks up there! Got the Pad Ke Mao, spice level was perfect. Only complaint was that the noodles were a little thick, but it wont sway me from returning. Service was friendly. I will be back to Thai House! read more

I absolutely adore Thai House. It's one of the few places I really love to eat in Bloomington. Their noodle bowls are the size of a soup pot and always have a great combo of flavors. I also really love their green curry and usually use the curry broth itself as my litmus at other Thai restaurants. Their Thai iced tea is good, but a bit heavy handed on the sweetened condensed milk. The ambiance (and some of the servers) at the restaurant is extremely strange, which makes me love it even more. My only wish was that they would use a few more fresh veggies. A lot of the dishes have those familiar "cuts" of vegetables seen at Asian restaurants all over the country. But it's still a great place to get some noodles. read more

I love the chicken pad thai here and would say this is an awesome restaurant to eat at...however, today, I witnessed an exchange between an unhappy customer and the owner that appalled me. The owner was like the soup Nazi from Seinfeld. The customer appeared to just want to be heard about being upset that her ticket was wrong. Granted, I don't know the full story, but the owner was very rude to this woman. Berating her for not being understanding to how the staff made a mistake and repeatedly said, how can you not understand they are human, are you gonna pay or not, etc., etc. The situation could have easily been de-escalated had the owner just listened and apologized for the mistake. The customer said that she guessed she would take her business elsewhere to which the lady replied, I don't care, you are a bad customer and I don't want you here anyway. It was awkward for the rest of us waiting to pay our bill. I'm not sure I want to go back no matter how good the food is if this is how the customer gets treated. read more

Yes go here. they make a dish for me still if I ask thats not on the menu any longer. And thai hot is the way to go.

Best Pad Thai in town! Watch out they are closed on Mondays. The Thai Egg Rolls are absolutely worth it, though they only give you two... and the Jasmine Tea is a perfect compliment. A treat worth every penny, but its not that big of a place so if you have a huge group, I recommend calling ahead. read more

The most authentic Thai I have had yet. I strongly recommend the Pad Kra Prao. Place is very clean and portions are generous. Plus Pam is the best cook I know! read more

Best Thai food in B town. Penang curry and pad Thai are awesome.

This is as close to Thailand as it gets. An old tired joint with extraordinary food burning with flavor, surrounded by photos of the Thai King & Queen, and a few elephants. From the Singha Beer to the traditional Thai dishes...your taste buds will be impressed. If you want to give a classic like Papaya Salad a rest...try the Yam Neau (spicy cold beef Thai salad). It is the best thing on the menu. Warning: Probably best to not go with "Thai spicy"...unless you are Thai. Which I am not. Regular spicy is all most can handle - unless you want to pay for your meal twice. The only thing that would make this place more authentic is if there were a variety of fried insects on the menu, and you were asked if you would like to have a suit made while you eat. Not a place for atmosphere, but if you are looking for one of the best places to eat in BoNo, get there; you will probably love it. read more

I love Thai House!! Of the three Thai restaurants that opened at the same time, this is my favorite. It was amazing to see what they did with the interior of the old Kip's restaurant. It's one of the most welcoming places in town. I've had pad thai at all three places in town, and Thai House is the best. I also love the mussamun (sweet brown curry) and flip over the green papaya salad (when available). The wonton soup is fresh and delicious and their egg rolls are heavenly! The only thing I would say could improve Thai House is if they start delivering. ;) read more

Great place for Thai food. Fresh ingredients and fast service. My favorite dish is the Panang Chicken Curry with or without thick pan noodles. I've tried this dish in many places and The Thai House's is the best! Nice to go for lunch or dinner and grab a glass of wine with your meal. read more

This is my favorite Thai place in town. There is 3 that places in town and this one is the most consistent. In my years I have eaten here at least 30-35 times, and have never had a bad meal. I cant think of any other restaurant I make that comment about. read more
