I have a favorite Thai restaurant so when a Vegetarian friend of mine suggested we dine at one of three places she enjoys in the Oak Park area, I was optimistic. Was really looking forward to a great Curry but our waitress informed us they were premade and fish sauce was already in them so we were limited to only 2 parts of the menu. Appreciate their candor and that they were willing to substitute tofu for any protein so that helped extend our options. My host had the cashew tofu which contained a generous amount of pea pods and cashews (color me envious). What I ordered lacked flavor and the tofu was not fresh. We obtained red pepper, jalepenos and chili to add some heat to what was already supposed to be a spicy dish. I will not return. Doorway would make it difficult for anyone in a wheelchair to gain access to the restaurant without someone holding the doors open and there may have been a step up at each spot. Tile floor. Wood benches/chairs. Decor and music was pleasant. Always appreciate cloth napkins. It was not crowded and we did not feel rushed.

Another great Thai Restaurant in Oak Park, IL. I have been going here and there now closed location in Lombard, IL and could complement so much but could not complain. Unfortunately Thai cuisine is so difficult to tell for me so in this realm of cuisine I cannot discriminate since I love all Thai cuisine. Therefore it makes me Biased if I had to choose any other Asian cuisine in the world I always go for Thai for it's flavorful curry dishes, Pad Thai, Pad Priks, Thai Ice Tea and my least favorite Lard Nar a wide pan fried thick noodle. But going back with Mama Thai they have such great dishes. The Green Curry in Chicken or Pork is fabulous, Next to their Pad Thai and Tom Kha or Tom Yum soups I usually order. Their Chicken Satay is good too and savory next to Thai Ice Tea as a beverage I usually order. I had travelled to Thailand 3 years ago and the foods for all Thai Restaurants taste exactly the same, fresh and spicy with a lot of basil, lime, mushrooms lemon grass etc. LOL. That is why I have such a hard time Judging Thai restaurants in Chicago and it's suburbs. All in all it is worth coming here to dine. The staff is always friendly and the food is good with decent portions.

This very cozy place happily served our big group of 20. All orders were correct and served promptly. This is my new favorite place for shrimp tom-yum soup. Everything was delicious and so authentically Thai. Mama Thai herself (the restaurant's owner) came out to say hello and introduced herself to us. Very friendly and warm. Overall, great experience. I highly recommend this for a friendly neighborhood authentic Thai meal.

Last week, I really wanted to have Thai food. Ordered dinner for pick up for my wife and myself; wonton soup, pad thai with tofu, and spring rolls. The wonton soup was excellent. The pad thai and spring rolls were not good. Both were bland and dry - almost tasteless. We really were disappointed.
