Food was super good & the service was wonderful! I only took off one star bc i feel like its kinda expensive but prices of everything are going up these days so i understand. we got the Red curry and the chicken Pad thai :) both were delicious

Food ok but very expensive for a sat lunch. All entrees over 20 dollars. Service great , portions large. Entrees well done. Lots of sauce.

Really delicious family run and tasty Thai. Was a delicious way to spend dinner rather than 5 guys or other chain. Service was great

Outstanding always. The food, the service and the comfy booths are the best. Their pho will make everything better.

Good food (except Pad Thai) and service, Ambiance is fine as well. We ordered the below Combination Fried rice - 5/5 Pad Thai - 2/5 - sweet n bland Red Curry lunch special- 4/5

The food is lights out...Best fried rice I have ever had!! Family owned and ran, great service

DELICIOUS!!! This restaurant should have 5 out of 5 stars. It's a little hole in the wall kind of place and by the outside, probably not your first pick. But don't judge a book by its cover, it was by far some of the best Thai I've ever had. We order off their lunch menu, pad Thai and green curry, spice level medium. Thai is my favorite and I often make it at home and I love spice. However, their medium spice is burn your lips and mouth off spicy. My eyes were watering and my nose running! I would definitely get mild next time. I've eaten a lot of other Thai and always order medium, but their medium is very very hot. Our waitress was super friendly and sweet! We got our order in right away and it was brought out very quickly. Super authentic and absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be going back soon to try more dishes!

My husband describes this place as his favorite Thai restaurant in the whole world. He hasn't been to Thailand, but for a Thai restaurant in central Illinois, this place is for real. We've stopped at this place several times in our travels, and it always delivers. (They also have carry-out. Ha!) Most important consideration. When you're asked, "how spicy?" consider the chef is probably a native of Thailand. "5" is Thai spicy, as in melt your tongue spicy. "2" is American spicy, as in your nose will run but you can still enjoy the flavor. I ordered "3" once and it was eye-watering hot. Be careful. When we were here a couple years ago, they hadn't yet reopened to dining in, but I'm happy to say, you can eat inside now. The dining room is simple and clean. The service is efficient and super fast. We waited less than 3 minutes for our crab rangoons -- crispy and filled with spicy cream cheese. The spring rolls were also expertly made and very fresh. I deviated from my useful order of shrimp green curry to try the papaya salad (aka som tum). Think of it as the tastiest tomato and iceberg lettuce salad you've ever eaten. The shredded green papaya is not sweet--it reminded me of bean sprouts. It was served with hot white rice, which I found weird until I tried it. Definitely try it. You might like it, too. It cost $17.99, which seemed high but it was very fresh and flavorful. (There are lunch specials for $12.99 if you're looking for value.) We will, without a doubt, be back.

Thara Thai has really tasty Panang curry chicken! I usually get it spicy (level 3), which is especially nice during the colder months! Their prices are high, so I don't go there as much as I used to.
