    Pad Kee Mao Lunch special 5/5

    Pad Kee Mao Lunch special 5/5, highly recommend! (Just FYI carryout only) Veggie egg roll was great too!

    Ginger chicken - this was really, really good!!!

    Wow, comparable to Elephant Thai in Edgebrook and also Lai Thai in Morton Grove. What I like about Thai Inbox is that it's just 5 mins from Old Orchard mall - and that's a big plus for convenience. It's easy to park in this strip mall and the place is bright and clean. The service was excellent and the food was really good. The presentation was kicked up a notch from my typical brown bag lunch and I enjoyed that. The lunch specials were all very tasty and I'd like to come back here to try the other dishes and some Thai beer that I'm unfamiliar with. Hope to visit Thailand soon, so I can get an idea of the authenticity of these dishes.

    My first experience with Thai Inbox was at their Glenview location. I thought the food was fairly good, but were not exactly the flavor profile I was looking for. Though it may be that I ordered different dishes at this location, I was happy with what I got. I recommend the green curry, but I'm also guessing all their other curries are fantastic. I also really enjoyed the Garlic Dish with beef. The next day I was actually really craving this as my leftovers! I'm glad I gave Thai Inbox another go! I'm looking forward to trying some of their other dishes as well.

    Decent Thai restaurant located off Skokie. Pad saiw eww - Good flavors Chicken basil - a bit salty Chicken satay - peanut sauce was delicious Cute atmosphere. Service was ok. The place was a little busy during lunch time so that was expected. I'd come back and try different dishes. I think this place is comparable to the other Thai restaurants in Wilmette.

    GREAT Thai food, one of my favorites in the area. Prices are a bit higher than my local spots but their pad see ewe is so flavorful and delicious!! The egg rolls are fantastic too, definitely will be trying more on their menu the more I order. I ordered over the phone with no problems and picked up the food within 20 mins of ordering. Once you get there, you have to call again (their number is on the door if you forget) and they'll bring the food out to a table outside the entryway. You'll have to get out of your car to pick it up but that's totally fine because of how COVID safe it is! Other than it being slightly more expensive than other Thai in the area, this spot is definitely a north shore Thai staple.

    Skip this place. I ordered beef pad thai and crab rangoon. The beef pad thai was unflavorful. The only thing I could taste was the fish sauce. Other than that there was no flavor! I was starving before ordering and couldn't even finish eating the pad thai for lack of taste and flavor. The crab rangoon should've been called cream cheese rangoon because every bite was cream cheese. I highly doubt there was any crab. The Thai Ice Tea was also bland. How can a Thai restaurant mess up thai iced tea? Not sure but was really disappointed in this place. I read the reviews ahead of time anticipating a good meal only to be disappointed.

    Ordered delivery, the lady I spoke with on the phone was super sweet. She let me know that there will be a 45 min wait time. The delivery ended up taking 10 minutes! The quality was up to par. We will order again

    We tried the lunch specials at Thai Inbox, carryout. Each lunch special is $8.50 and comes with a spring roll and a can of soda. The spring roll was quite tasty and the sauce they give you with it has a bit of a kick. The portion is the right amount for a meal. Partial to the container it comes in as well, a divided plastic container so that the spring roll doesn't get soggy from the food. Would say the food is more on the saltier end but tasty nonetheless.

The shallot rice with vegetables had no vegetables at all and tasted as if it was premade and warmed up again in the microwave. The shallot rice with beef was the same and contained tiny bits of burned beef. The sushi was not fresh and the crispy spring rolls were akin to dog treat sticks. The food is expensive and some of the worse food I've ever had. While I appreciate the business owners detailed response, there are contradictions. When ordering the shallot fried rice from the restaurants website on July 2, vegetables were included as an option. Today vegetables have been replaced with herbs. Nevertheless we chose the available vegetable option therefore vegetables were requested. The restaurant received our vegetables request as indicated on the pictured receipt and packaging. We received herbs and rice but no vegetables. We did not order through a third party delivery service. We placed the order through the restaurant website and I arrived early to pick up the food. I hope that the owner is able to receive my feedback constructively and take accountability for the issues my family encountered with the restaurant.

There was a live saxophone player and I loved the live flowers they had. Our waiter was extremely nice and took the time to explain the menu as well as their customer favorites. I order a Thai iced tea which wasn't bad but I prefer mine a little thicker and sweeter. It came in a thin tall glass which in theory was not a lot of drink. To start we order the chicken appetizer and fried beef on rice to share and unfortunately I did not snap a pic but these were listed under apps or shareables but the portions were extremely small. As our mains came I noticed that they were also small and each were around $20-$30 per plate. Not a bad thing if you don't eat much but I'm a big bang for buck type of gal. My family came to share and this place is a more fine dining thai restaurant which could explain the smaller portions. We ordered the pad Thai which was alright in my opinion I expected a little more flavor, the aubergine which was tossed vegetables as recommended by our waiter which was also ok not much flavor but beautiful plating though, and the coconut curry which was by far my favorite. If I were to come back here I would order that again, it was a nice light yet complex flavor profile which made me savor every bite. Overall good place for an upbeat fancier meal and I highly recommend the coconut curry braised chicken if you visit. Little pricey but that's just my opinion let me know what you guys think if you visit! Oh and they also give your receipt in a boat which they spin and leave a thank you card once you paid which was really cute.

It was freezing, so I pivoted and ended up at Umaka Ramen -- honestly, not mad about it. Since I'm currently on a cut, I skipped ramen (painful, I know ) and went with the chicken teriyaki entrée with sauce on the side. It came out on a sizzling plate which made it feel extra legit, and the salad was actually beautifully plated...not just a throwaway side. That said... for $24, I still kinda feel like they should've just included the miso soup instead of charging extra. BUT -- the miso soup? They did NOT skimp. Loaded with tofu and seaweed, super comforting, and honestly one of the better ones I've had. Service and ambiance were both great...clean, cozy, and a nice escape from the cold mall chaos. Overall, a-ok in my book Not mind-blowing for the price, but solid, satisfying, and they gave me exactly what I ordered.

I would rather endure the pain of the Gympie Gympie plant sting, better yet, consume regurgitated bird seed topped with a glaze of mystery trash can liquid, even better yet, I would rather eat a Plethora of highly infectious fungi, rather than eat this horrific meal again. not only was the meal heinous, the service was horrific. I aged approximately 20 years after waiting in this empty shell of a restaurant. This store, better yet, the company is a waste of resources that can be used for genuinely useful purpose. This restaurant is the epitome of slop and a cash grab, I never had huge expectations for this establishment, however any semblance of hope I had for this meal to be enjoyable at all, has been shattered. I pray that the staff, which are entrapped by their company contracts, free themselves as soon as possible and look for an occupation that is worth their time. How could a human being possibly spend any sort of their precious life in such a lifeless and appalling workplace? If Dante's inferno had a 10th level, this store would be an accurate representation of such place. A place in which the utmost of humanities greed and gluttony festers within the confines of this establishment, is how i would describe this place. If Sisyphus was forced to eat at noodles in company for all of eternity, instead of pushing the rock up the mountain for all of eternity, I do not think he could do it. this meal required me to muster the entirety of my courage in order for me to take a measly two bites. in conclusion, the hatred I am feeling for this establishment at this exact moment in time is so severe I do not think anything could ever make me more enraged. so congratulations, you've pushed yet another customer to their absolute limit via your horrific rendition of pad Thai. The Snoodle doodle cookie was good though. 1 star. Would not even recommend to someone that is starving. Sincerely, Ben N.
