Foods has always been pretty good, and a stable around the area for a long long time. It is lean a bit sweeter than I'm used to but it's not too bad, the other flavors have depth so it balances out! The staff has always been so nice and friendly. There's not a whole lot of seating because of the space, but it's generally not too busy either. The parking is a bit hard to find, it's in the back and can easily be missed. I'm glad to see that they are still doing well! I tried the woo sen tom yum today. It seemed simpler than I expected. Just glass noodles in tom yum, and some mung bean sprouts and tofu. But after eating for a bit, the simplicity is nice. Every bite has some glass noodles and crunchy sprouted. With occasional cilantro flavor. The tofu and tom yum worked well. I was disappointed at first but was content by the end of it. read more

Solid Thai food and great service! Would recommend their curry, spring rolls, and shrimp in a blanket! Parking is between Thai Noodle Cafe and the cigar shop to the left of it. It's tucked away in the back. read more

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I have not visited Thai Noodles Cafe. While the culinary quality and presentation of my dish were commendable, the flavor profile was lacking and somewhat bland. Upon ordering my dish, I specifically requested it to be spicy. Regrettably, my dish failed to deliver the desired level of flavor and spice. I will give Thai Noodles Cafe another opportunity to improve upon this visit. read more

Went there and had the green curry chicken. Delicious. Limited seating and parking in back. Definitely will go back.

Pad See Ew and Duck Noodle Soup here were better than what I've had at some of the Thai restaurants in downtown Chicago. The noodles had were perfect, while the duck soup was aromatic, and packed with tender meat in a broth that clearly simmered for hours. It's a cozy spot that's been around for over 25 years. A plus is the easy parking in the back, so you can skip the city chaos and still get top tier Thai food. read more

I've come here often for the soup and it is fantastic. But Tom, Yum soup and the varieties of it fantastic. First time trying food recently after all these years and the food is stellar. Do not miss this small humble family owned and ran establishment. It is well worth seeking this place out. read more

Thai food is the best comfort food and Thai Noodles Cafe hits the spot. I will say this last time I went the quality was a bit iffy. I have pics from 2 years ago and pics from a month ago and the sweet buns were over fried this last time I went. Same with the egg rolls. I'm hoping it was just a one off bad day. The noodles were still lovely however. I also tried the peanut curry for the first time which was extremely flavorful. I like dining in and ordering carry out here. Service is always fast and nice. I absolutely recommend this local Thai restaurant! read more

Came here for lunch with a couple of friends. It's a house located in downtown Libertyville. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant through an alley. We were able to be sat right away. The server seemed knowledgeable about GF. I ordered the Pad Thai and an ice tea. The Pad Thai was a bit sour with too much sauce for my liking but still decent. They also have curry that is GF. I def want to come back and try it. read more

Maybe the absolute worst Pad See Ewe I've ever had. Noodles were soggy not firm, and the beef (?) was chewy and tough. The shrimp basil spring roll has not a single taste of basil, but was simply a glorified lettuce wrap. I requested #2 hotter (which should be a middle of the road warmth) but there was not a lick of spice in this dish. Even the peanut sauce for dipping of the spring roll was watered down and not thick. The worst meal I've had in some time and I can't understand the ratings for this place. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Have been wanting to try this place finally did today. We had the shrimp blanket, egg roll, pad thai and bbq prok w bambee soup. All were good aside from the soup, the noodles seems from the instant noodles we buy in store and the soup doesn't taste anything so water down. Pad thai was really good though I did the for extra $4 and all worth it. The server was really nice and pleasant the place looks clean. read more

Delicious. Super fast service to pick it up and reasonable in price. Fare warned that it gets spicy fast, level 1 is hot.

I've ordered from here again couple times now for delivery. Both were good lunches. Got soup one time and fried rice the other. The fried rice tasted very good! I'll order this again. And for me it was enough for 2 meals. My only complaint is the spice level. The online order lets you pick 1-5 on the spice rating. 5 is labeled as CRAZY HOT! I love crazy spicy stuff and 5 was too weak! Haha read more

The menu looked excellent. I haven't been here for a long time. Not sure where my review went. I've eaten here several times but it's been a while. The roasted duck soup is really good. The egg rolls were kind of greasy. I think the oil may not have been hot enough when they fried it. My roasted duck soup was good, but it wasn't hot. It came out kind of tepid I like my food, super hot, same for the tea it was tepid The parking lot was packed. It's a cute little small restaurant on the first floor is the restaurant in the kitchen and on the second floor I believe the people that own the restaurant live there you enter from the back where the parking is the customer services. excellent there's a cute woman that comes out and serves you the food after the young girls take your order , one thing I wish they would offer is wrapping up the food they gave me containers to wrap up my roasted duck soup, and when I was pouring it and I spilled it all over me. read more

The restaurant is very clean and the people working here are very polite and nice. We ordered the Crispy Egg rolls as our appetizer they were very crispy, hot, and delicious. I had a rubbery piece of meat in mine but I will still order these again. My husband ordered the Pad Thai with Beef and I ordered the Lad Nar with beef. Both entrees were fresh and full of flavor! We ended our meal by sharing one of the sticky rice with banana desserts and it was the perfect size for us to share. We will definitely eat here again when we are in the area. read more

Tried this place first time in ages - don't order the green curry: it's very liquid (waterish) almost no veggies and just some chicken. The fried rice is decent (nothing earthshattering but ok) No pic of the spring rolls - they were very greasy but the taste was ok. read more

Check out this place if in Libertyville and looking for noodles or other kinds of spicy Thai food. It may not look like much, but the food makes up for the lack of anything else about it. Thai Noodles Cafe is a bit of a way from the town's main restaurant scene. Located in a pretty lame area on the main street, close to a few auto repair shops and crappy strip malls. Restaurant also is a store you can buy candy, groceries, and other things. After choosing to eat here, we knew we were going to get something with noodles to eat. It's in the name of course, so these had to be good. There's quite a few things to choose from, and more than just noodles too. It's about $11 at lunch. They have a few things on special. I got the Spicy Crazy Noodles. This is rice noodles stir fried with vegetables. It had a special chili sauce. You choose the protein, and I got it with tofu. Good variety of vegetables in it. There were bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, carrots, onions, and straw mushrooms. She had the Pad Thai, a classic. This was a pretty basic version with tofu as a protein. Great stuff for those who like things hot. It of course has noodles, but there's also things that come on rice if you would rather have it. The entrees mostly can be made for meat eaters, or these can have tofu for vegetarians. read more

Thai Noodles Cafe - Spicy Crazy Noodles - Thai Near Me - Libertyville, Illinois

Friendly prompt service and delish food. Home-spun atmosphere--a nice break from strip mall fare.

order pad see ew from here on uber eats. having had incredible thai food in the past, this place doesn't earn higher than a 3.5 to me. the noodles were soft, but not amazing and fresh. my main complaint is the chicken and the vegetables that seemed to be old and not freshly cooked. for being in the middle of nowhere illinois, i guess it's "good", but in the grand scheme of things, it's not. the options for spice were 1, 3, and 5 if i remember correctly and i got a 3 because thai food is usually crazy spicy, but it wasn't really spicy at all. i would recommend a 5 if you like spicy food and choose to eat here. i would definitely go down to the city to try better thai food though. read more

Spring rolls, cashew chicken and green curry were all delicious. Portions are generous and spice level is perfect. Delivery was fast.

Food here is really good. I'm Thai and very picky about where I eat. Although some of the dishes may not be as authentic as I would expect (my standards are very high), I found all the dishes to be executed very well. The Pad See Eiew was very delicious. The satay was also very good. The peanut sauce that came with the satay was very much up to my standards. The Panang curry was not as authentic as I was hoping for , to me it was way too much like a thick peanut sauce stew which isn't authentic but it wasn't bad. For those that love peanut sauce, then their Panang is for you. But I can say that their Panang is not how it's made in Thailand. My friend loves the pad Thai and that is what he ordered. I was able to taste some of it and it was very delicious and they did a good job. He also ordered tofu appetizer and I thought they were fried to a crisp just the way they're supposed to be. Overall the food was very good and the portions were just right for the prices. In fact, we had plenty of left overs to take home. I would love to come back and try other dishes. read more

I got a small soup. I got a big soup. I enjoyed both the soups. You might think to yourself, "that's a lot of soup," and you'd be right. But when you're on a soup mission and are presented with more soups than you knew you wanted, well- you double soup it. Some important specifics: they have a heat scale, going from half a star and up. They'll repeat your order and verify everything, especially the spice rating you've chosen. Service is prompt. The main detractor is getting in, if you've never been there before. The driveway from route 21 is blink and you'll miss it. But if you do miss it, there's a strip mall just past it where you can park. read more

First visit-carry out. Portions were great/food was amazing. Khao Soy was delicious as was basil chicken. Spice level options were a bonus. Will be back for sure read more

Great for lunch! Very cute little restaurant with about 15 booths and a few more tables. Super friendly staff and fresh food! I had the pineapple fried rice, which came with shrimp, chicken, and all kinds of yummy stuff inside. It was excellent! (and enough for 2 meals) We also shared an order of egg rolls (2) and they were very good! If you're looking for good fresh Thai food in the area, give this place a try! Enjoy! read more

This USED to our favorite north suburban Thai place. Then they started charging $2.50 per 1/2 cup serving of cooked brown rice. This is less than half of a small Chinese food takeout container full. We used to get a whole container full of brown rice for $2.00. An entire bag of uncooked brown rice is about $2 at the grocery store. I called the restaurant to request a refund for the 2.50 and the manager refused. We had been customers for 4 years, but they just lost our business. read more

Thai Noodles is a favorite Thai food spot for Libertyville locals! We decided to eat inside the cozy little restaurant, but they also offer carry out and delivery options.

We had shrimp tom yum soup and panang veggie curry, both delicious with ample servings and leftovers for later! read more

The ordering was hard for my friend yiu have to order online that stinks. You can not call in an order. On a good note the food was good. We had Masaman curry. Satay. Crispy egg roll ? A spicy Thai rice with beef. And a chicken dish. So I usually get my spice level 3-4 being new here I started with a 2 and man was that a lil spicy. I usually ask for extra spice but did not need it. I am eating the curry for breakfast today and it still tastes yummy. Try it it's good Thai I don't find that all places are good this is a winner read more

Decided to give this place a try because of the other great reviews. Parking was located behind the building as was an entrance. The service was excellent. I was greeted immediately when I entered and was promptly shown to a table. Maybe I caught the chef on an off-day because I found the food to be bland and disappointing. I ordered a garlic dish and did not taste garlic at all. The presentation was interesting. The tofu was on top of some large romaine lettuce leaves which were soaked in their "brown sauce," which tasted like straight up soy sauce. The food wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. I paid nearly $20 for a small entree and an iced tea. read more

I had a craving for Thai food today and decided to do a carry out from here! I ordered Basil leaves $11.99 with beef(which is $3 extra) and choice of Jasmine rice and Pan-Nang Curry with chicken and Jasmine Rice! The basil leaves with beef had no sight of any basil leaves and no flavor of the basil, the portion was fine. The Pa-Nang Curry ($12.95) the flavor was good but the portion was really really small. It was not worth it for the price they charge! I was totally disappointed when I open the bag and saw the little container! read more

Love this place. Quick, no frills. Just delicious food! Great service. I love the pad see ew and the mango sticky rice.

I don't usually do this but I am upset & disgusted at this. For the price of this curry, customers deserve more than 2 shrimps. I received 2 shrimps in my order & all Pineapples. This is ridiculous especially after paying that price & paying for DoorDash & tips. Restaurant owes me a new meal. read more

***3.5 stars*** I was in the area and didn't feel like cooking so hubby and I picked up food from Thai Noodles Cafe on our way home. Our order was ready within ~25 minutes. I had the khao soy level 2 spicy (egg noodles, chicken, onions, and chili peppers in a coconut curry soup) while hubby had the pad Thai. I was surprised how red/orange my khao soy was since I was anticipating that it would only be minimally spicy (2/5 spice level). I was able to handle the heat but I probably should have ordered it without any spice since I wanted to taste the flavor of the broth. Overall, the khao soy was decent. Hubby's pad Thai noodles were kind of chewy and the flavor was just okay. Since pad Thai is arguably one of the most popular Thai dishes we had higher expectations. read more

Some of my favorite dishes are Khao Soy, Pad See Ewe, and Pad Kee Mao. My bf often gets the Green Curry and Pad Thai. Great flavors and nice portions for the price. Crab Rangoon is good, but too much wonton and not enough filling. Egg Rolls have vermicelli filling, yum! read more
