Haven't had a dish we don't like. We have lots of options even with some diet-specific restrictions that vary in our family. They have vegetarian options. Portions are generous, so $17 for Pad Thai is nothing to gripe about. Service can be slow, but it's worth it - go with someone who's not in a hurry and whose company you enjoy. read more

Now that I'm watching The Bear, every restaurant after running awhile -14 years that I know of- will experience some ebbs and flows as Chefs/Mgrs move about life, but consistently I have found this place to be the best around, edging out also beloved Thai Kitchen in Lombard which is take out only. Maybe not in chi city but certainly around these DuPage boonies.. Tonight for the first time I dared myself to get the green chicken curry - the hotter one. (It's the opposite of Mexican! Holy shit he said to Self) For some reason unlike normally, I didn't ask them forany extra veggies, didn't tell them to cool it down, I didn't say anything I just said give me the green curry with chicken. And it was easily the best thing I've eaten in months. Perfect balance of chicken to vegetables to this authentic curry sauce which brought me right up to my heat limit but no more and the taste was full, varied and incredible! (Pad see ew w/ beef and Chicken pad Thai were my common go tos and are still excellent year after year). Bon appetit in Thai language! read more

We ordered pad see ew and it was as if the cook scraped up all of the burnt pieces from the pan and put it in our food. There were also wood splinters in my noodles. The appetizers weren't great either. The restaurant itself is cute and the service was good, however I will not be dining there again. read more

Very mid takeout. Small portions ($17/per)and almost tasteless. Soggy crab Rangoon, for requested "extra spicy" Thai dish they added more jalapeño. Smh read more

I love this place. Great food at a great price, the service is awesome too. I have no idea why this place is not more popular.

Overall, this place is one of the better Thai places in the suburbs. They have a good selection of Thai currys and overall that's what I come here for. Their other menu items don't stand out to me. I'll be back to get take out if I'm in the area for curry. Quality- the panang, duck, and pineapple curry is delicious. It is thick, flavorful, and filled with well cooked meat. Quantity- a lot of curry comes out which is nice. The rice is a bit lacking in quantity tho. I'd rather bring it home with my rice. Atmosphere- I like coming here if I can get a window seat. The rest of the restaurant is a bit gloomy. Service- quick fast service. No complaints read more

I haven't been to this place since before the pandemic, but always enjoyed the food. Not the best Thai food, but some of the best in the western suburbs. I recently had an opportunity to get reacquainted. Thought I would share my experience. First thing I noted is that the atmosphere was very different. The lighting is very different for example. It is way too bright, and they have to amp down on the wattage. What was once a charming, almost romantic restaurant now almost feels like you're in a cafeteria. Also, I could be wrong, but I seem to recall a charming elephant statue in the restaurant that seems to have been removed. However, the food was excellent. We ordered the platter appetizer, and each one was well cooked and delicious. As to the entrées, my son had the fish and I had the duck pad Thai. I can't say if it's because of new owners or a new chef, but the food actually tasted quite a step above what I previously experienced. I would definitely go back and I would still recommend this restaurant. However, you might not want to forget your shades to wear under the surgical room type lighting they now have installed. read more

Ordered through Uber Eats (which did a great job delivering- no issues with them). Liked the ability to customize dishes ordered on line. I did just that. Too bad the restaurant didn't. I end up getting a dish with items I didn't necessarily want and not getting the items I wanted. Why give you all those options if you're going to ignore them?! read more

Great Service and very cute decore. Enjoyed our Chicken Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Great Drink read more

Had dinner here for the first time & it was wonderful! We had the coconut shrimp as our starter which we enjoyed. I had the Duck curry which I would definitely recommend. Can't wait to come back and try this place again! read more

Their menu has SIGNIFICANTLY improved from what was already a 20 year family favorite in the last 6 months. You MUST order and sample their wide variety of noodle, rice and curry dishes that will have you craving for more. read more

Portions were so tiny, me and my wife were still hungry after two chicken entrees with hardly any chicken. Also there were TWO hairs inside the pot sticker container. read more

Excellent place for Thai food. My fiancé likes the cashew chicken and I had tofu with vegetables in garlic sauce. Very nice waiter dealing with being understaffed We highly recommend them and their pricing and portions are great. read more

The food isn't very good. The staff can be rude at times. The restaurant will be completely empty and they will ask you if you have a reservation. read more

Just HORRIBLE. The food was sickeningly sweet. Even the curry dish. Nothing like real Thai food. Pot stickers where deep fried & hard. Soda was flat. Service was non existent. Worst part. Both my husband and I got sick from eating it. Horrible stomach aches. What a waste of $100. read more

Every time I come to Thipi Thai the service is great. The staff is courteous and attentive. I've tried many things over the years here, pineapple curry chicken, edamame, cashew tofu, dumplings, tom kha gai, Thai tea and coffee. Everything has been delicious, spiced as I request and served quickly and very hot. The ambiance is comfortable and welcoming. Great business! read more

Best Thai place in Du Page County. Great service. Great food. Date night place. They'll customize your entree with a smile.

I really like Thipi Thai! They're pad Thai is really fresh I always add extra shrimp and ask for it to be spicy |:) the only reason I give 4 stars is because I just wish the portions were bigger but that's because I'm greedy lol my mom enjoys their tofu as well. I have never sat down so the service and ambience are not applicable for my experience, can't help there. Definitely try their food! read more

My wife and I have been coming here for so long, I can't remember when we started. The food is second to none! Having said that, we won't be coming back. One, because having a gratuity foisted upon us doesn't feel right. You give a gratuity for service, not because a person hands you a bag. Secondly, the snarky bitch at the reception area had a little too much attitude for my liking. I have to wear a mask? Spoiler alert; you don't have to wear a mask at a place if you don't go there. A suggestion to management; get employees with "people skills". read more

I heard about this place from another meetup group who had a group dinner here. Since I'm in the general area I've wanted to try it because I love Thai food. I finally came here on the way back from a hike on 08/25/21 because I was hungry. It was close to closing time so the place was empty. The service was fast and waitress very friendly. The food was outstanding! I loved the Tom yum soup with shrimp and got it extra spicy. I also had mixed vegtables in brown garlic gravy and those were outstanding too! I'm not that crazy about the ambiance of this place so I probably won't bring my group here. Others may love it, its just my personal taste in building style and decor. I will definitely be back for carryout! read more

In the neighborhood and came across this little Thai restaurant. The place is cute, clean and spacious. Tried thipi sampler which was great! Everything on the platter was Crispí and good. The pad thai was delicious and the sangria refreshing and good. Would definitely come back. read more

It's what I imagine someone from Thailand would think American diners would like. Just not good. Sweet is the main spice. It would probably take some time to develop a ordering strategy to overcome their expectation that Americans can't handle Thai spices. read more

Thipi Thai has a beautiful atmosphere. Their food is amazing- especially the Kao Soy, which is not often found at Thais restaurants but is our fav!! Their crab rangoons were also delicious. Will be returning here! read more

Best restaurant in terms of price to portion. The thipi thai iced tea is fire. T staff are great, owner even better.

Love this place. So hot and fresh every time. I always get the Paw Siew, Basil fried rice, and fried veggie spring rolls. I always add carrots and green beans to the fried rice and omit egg from it and also omit egg from the pad siew. I could eat here every day. So excellent! read more

Visited here after seeing a movie at the Glen Art theatre. Fantastic decor! Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Now about the food...ordered Tom Kha, it was hot and delicious. It had chicken and just the right amount of fish sauce. Very aromatic with just a bit of spicey pepper flake. So I had great hopes for the Lard Na. But I was disappointed. The beef was tender with good flavor but the pan fried noodles were not pan fried. Seems they were just mixed into the sauce after being cooked and skipping the pan fry touch. If you've never had Lard Na that way you may think this was a good dish. In fact I dropped a huge amount of leftovers at my dad's place and he enjoyed it. There was so much sauce I almost couldn't see the beef and noodles. More like a stew? And the brown sauce had an odd flavor. Maybe they added sugar to it? This could be just their version but I have never had Lard Na with a sweet sauce. Maybe I will change the three star rating after I try another meal here but for now the 3-star stands. read more

First time back here in three years and they did not disappoint. Shiitake Duck, Rama Noodles, and Siam Salmon were all delicious. Service was timely and friendly. Leaving here very satisfied. read more

So dissatisfied. This place used to be so great years ago but now it's run by a different set of people. Not the people who started it. The food was okay but I was really disappointed this last time. We ordered spring rolls and they were nasty. The entrees were okay. read more

I came here with my friend for lunch on a Monday around noon. The place was empty of customers. We ordered the spring rolls for an appetizer and it was absolutely awful! They were stale, dry, cold and the sauce was gross. We did not eat the dish. I ordered a noodle dish that came back to me completely brown, except for the two large pieces of red bell pepper in the dish. The dish wasn't terrible tasting, but after a few bites I was ready to be done. The lack of texture and color grossed me out. We paid the bill and left. Never again will I go to this place. read more

The ambiance of this building is wonderful. The food is amazing! Service was impeccable, everything was fantastic! The curry was delicious, as was the pad khea mao. And I love me some Thai iced tea! Highly recommended this place. read more

This was my second try at finding a place that could accomodate my request for yellow curry stir fry like my favorite Thai place makes back home. I'm glad I didn't give up and order something else at the first place. Thipi Thai is downtown and was a bit hard to get to due to the downtown layout which seems to be more geared for pedestrian traffic than vehicle traffic. I like that layout and so no complaints... just be patient with the bikes and people... the food is worth it and people enjoying a nice day is always a welcome sight to me in a community. The person who greeted me at the door helped me with my to-go order. I let her know my special request and she didn't want to get my hopes up but offered to go ask the chef. She came back with the good news. I had them replace the rice with extra cabbage and ordered it with pork. It was SO good! I hope they put this on their menu. I would recommend this any day of the week. Beautiful decor inside, friendly staff, lovely bustling downtown community. Good stuff. read more

The food here was delicious but service abysmal. The server forgot to put in my order and when I reminded him of it (half way through everyone's meal) he remembered and put it in. Said it would be out shortly but it didn't arrive till we were all done and ready to leave. Mistakes happen, I get it. However the server didn't acknowledge or apologize for the mistake. And to top it off, 20% gratuity was added to the bill even though were a family of 5 not a party of 20. read more

been around awhile and has never disappointed! great food, friendly staff, and very comforting inside

The food used to be good at the Glen Ellyn Thipi Thai, but not any more. We have it several try's recently and are convinced it's no longer a good option for us. We have had too many consecutive disappointing experiences. Coconut shrimp too thinly hammered and burnt. Kung pao chicken and kung pao steak was sub standard. They could not accept our gift card issued from the Lagrange location. The staff did not even know how long ago the ownership changed. The ambiance remain s peaceful and casual, but the food over the past year has degraded so severely we just cannot see ourselves coming back. It's a big disappointment since it used to be consistent with the Lagrange location. The LaGrange location moved a couple doors down but still has great food. My humble advise is to stay away from the thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn. They are not affiliated with LaGrange any more and it's to their disadvantage. The best Thai is at Thipi Thai in LaGrange. The Glen Ellyn owners should reflect on their current state and bridge the gaps or they are doomed. read more

Before stopping into Thipi Thai, I read a series of mixed reviews on here. I was kind of concerned with the reviews become some were glowing and other's were absolutely dismal. But I decided to take the risk and stop in. I ordered the Stir-Fry Vegetables with Chicken. This is legitimately the simplest dish they could possibly put on the menu. I mean, how can you mess that up?? Well, they managed to mess it up. The dish didn't taste like nothing, but rather something bad. The flavor was weird and made me kind of sick. The white rice was great, but the sauce was horrible. Also, for ten dollars, the dish was quite small and unfulfilling. Oh and did I mention that horrible scent that I was greeted by when I walked in???? Well, it smelled like a sewer when I walked in. I don't know what that was about, but it's not something I want to be smelling while eating my dinner. I generally am a pretty easy person to please at a restaurant. Give me good food, be nice, and have a good/clean environment. Unfortunately, Thipi Thai did not meet my expectations. read more

Terrible service. Food was very cold and tasted like it was microwaved. Manager refused to come out and talk. We were the only ones in the whole place for lunch and they did not come to check on us once after we got our food. There's a reason this place is always empty. read more

Won't be back until they remove the mandatory 18% gratuity for takeout orders. Shame on them for exploiting Covid long after dine-in eating is back up and running. read more
