Noble Thai

Our go to Thai place. Food is always fresh and customizable to your preferable spiciness. Papaya salad is a must. Egg rolls tasty and not greasy at all. Combination fried rice was the perfect amount of saltiness and subtle flavor. We have tried a lot of their noodle dishes and curry, and we’re satisfied each time. We like how the space is set up and servers are very nice.

Delicious Thai food in a relaxed and friendly neighborhood restaurant environment. Everything we ordered was on point, especially the chicken satay, shu mai dumplings, Thai iced tea, and pad kra praow. Super friendly staff and open layout make it an even better experience.

Atmosphere nice, friendly services and food is good. Not spicy but can always request the Chilli oil.

Like the other two reviewers from today, I had the bad luck of ordering from this place on a night when their online ordering system had some kind of glitch and they didn't receive the orders. When I went to pick up my food the place was jam packed! Once everyone figured out what happened, they turned off their ordering system and started trying to clear the backlog. Thr waiting customers were being very calm about it, and the staff handled it professionally, even offering six abandoned orders to people waiting for free. I ended up getting my food about an hour later than anticipated. While it was good solid Thai food, it wasn't mind-blowing either. Definitely worth the price, and if I hadn't had to wait so long it would have been a much more positive experience. Hopefully they figure out what went wrong so it doesn't happen again!

2025: I ordered a delivery of Khao Soy with Chicken and it was great. I can’t get enough of it. This time I took a picture. My wife ordered a curry fried rice with chicken and said that was really good too. No complaints at all. 2023: Our flight was landing at ORD at 10:30pm on a Friday evening, so I asked my daughter to order a Khao Soy with beef and a Curry fried rice with chicken and asked for it to have a spice level of Hot. We didn’t get to her apartment until almost midnight so we heated the food and then ate it. The spice level was perfect, It was definitely hot and we liked it. The Khao Soy was delicious and I’ll definitely order that again, the next time I visit. The curry fried rice was also good. I recommend Noble Thai, the food was tasty.

Great choice for Thai food. Usually I do takeout or delivery, but I was in the neighborhood and my car was parked around the corner and not on a meter, so I decided to take a leisurely lunch. Decor is chic, with a minimalist flavor. Staff is attentive and friendly. This is not an enormous menu, but it’s very balanced with enough choices that you will easily find something without being overwhelmed I can’t decide. They are very clear to make your dish to your spiciness level. They also do not make their food too sweet, which I appreciate. Portion sizes are very good. Excellent quality food. There is a bar for drinks, but I didn’t order anything. Tables are arranged for any size group. A recommended choice if you are in the neighborhood.

The apps were definitely the star! Crab Rangoon, potstickers and wings, the pad Thai was also good! Everything came out quickly and the service was top notch. Big destination for carry out.

I dont typically leave reviews, but this place deserves a good review. I have come 3 times so far and each time the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food comes out very fast, and the service is very kind. You can order literally anything on the menu and it comes out cooked perfect, with authentic ingredients and tastes extremely good. Not to mention the inside of the restaurant is very clean, orderly and decorated nicely. I travel very often, and between married to a Thai chef and experiences across Thailand and the USA I have become picky, I can honestly say this place is absolutely the number 1 thai restaurant in Chicago, second only to Thailand (or my wife if shes reading). If you want very authentic and delicious food go here. Order anything on the menu and you will be very pleased. This place deserves good reviews and to stay in business forever because i dont want to lose it.

I think I found my favorite Thai food in Chicago! The restaurant has such a nice aesthetic, definitely a place to impress a date or friends. The service was phenomenal, our servers made recommendations and was attentive. We started off with Mai Tai's, they were so delicious. They do have a full service bar. For appetizers I loved the peanut sauce spring rolls and the cry tiger. Next time I will get a regular pad Thai and add the cry tiger meat. It has such an amazing taste I can't compare to anything else. The chicken curry was made with coconut milk, had the right amount of spicy and sweet. I can't wait to come back and try new things!

Delicious Thai food! They get lots of take out orders tho so be sure you order ahead (then add 10 mins). I like the panag curry and crab ragoons! Fun vibe inside but I normally do take out.

Love how open this place is. The food was amazing. Serve was fantastic. Would absolutely go back especially during the evening to have a cocktail. I would say I wasn't the biggest fan of the deep fried dumplings because it left the plate rather greasy but the pad Thai was terrific. The Thai tea was very strong and I loved it. This place would be prefect for a large group.

Awesome ambiance and food. Cook modern feel. If you are taking a group out this is a great spot

Keith Lee brought me here!! I had previously been here to try the pad Thai and left a little disappointed because it was dry HOWEVER on a particularly gloomy day I ordered the tiger cry with sticky rice and my goodness it is DELICIOUS!???? Full of flavor, a little spicy and just wow! Never had anything like it!

I had to give this place a try as I saw Keith Lee recently review it. I was in town, and Thai food is my favorite pad see ew: it had a distinct flavor that I've never ever tried in this dish. It didn't have enough sauce, and the sauce flavor had no sweetness to it. I think that's what the dish missed, as I tasted salt and sour. Mango sticky rice: the mango was delicious but the rice was so sticky like it had been sitting for a while. The sauce was all dried up, and I the dessert should've had more on it as well. Tiger cry: this was my favorite dish out of the 3. It was packed with so much flavor! The sauce that it came with was so bomb too. I do feel like it is pricey for the amount that you get but I would still order this again.

Noble Thai is one of my favorite Thai places in Chicago! The quality is amazing, I love all of their curries, pad thai, pad see ew, and basil fried rice. The crab Rangoons and thai iced tea is a must every time - the sweetness pairs perfectly with the warm / spicy dishes. The ambiance is laid back and casual with plenty of seating and the service was very friendly. We love this spot for dining in and take out :)

As a crab rangoon aficionado, I had to RUN and try Noble Thai's crab rangoons after seeing some social media posts about them. Safe to say these were defiantly some tasty 'goons. I also sampled some of their other menu items, and did really like their thai curries. Wasn't a huge fan of the tiger cry beef. Overall a solid thai spot, with friendly service and pretty spacious restaurant space.

This place use to be a Eckhart Park library 24 years ago. My husband and I use to work here then. It's where we met!! Cute story right!!!??? We came here for our 9th anniversary dinner in April. It's very clean. Not really busy dining in but had lots of delivery orders. (I saw the bags on the counter) We had great service, delicious food and great drinks! We ordered the tiger cry, shumai, pad kana moo krab, seafood fried rice, pad see iew and a coconut Mai tai. The Tiger Cry was charbroiled marinated beef with tangy chili sauce on the side. It was delicious! Nice and tender. It paired well with the dipping sauce that was on the side! The Pad Kana Moo Krab was crispy pork belly, Chinese broccoli and oyster sauce! It had crispy pieces and chewy pieces. The Chinese broccoli was cooked perfectly. A good solid dish if you're a pork lover. (I forgot to take a picture of this dish) The shumai are shrimp dumplings that are served with a Thai soy sauce. These were amazing and we could've eaten at least 30. lol! The Seafood Combination Fried Rice had , shrimp, squid, crab stick. It wasn't heavily saturated with soy sauce. It was light in color but very flavorful! It was very delicious too. The Chicken Pad See-lew had Flat rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, eggs and sweet soy sauce. My favorite Thai dish everrrr! Extremely well executed! Mine was extraaaaa spicy! My coconut Mai tai packed punch but was smooth! Street parking wasn't overly crowded. We found a spot right next to the restaurant!!!! Friendly, delicious food, solid drinks and very reasonably priced! This is our spot!!!!!! Check them out!!!!!!

This place is so cute inside. Walked right in during dinner time and it was pretty empty but the takeout orders were off the charts. We saw so many bags waiting to get picked up and so many delivery people coming in and out. We ordered a bunch of food and honestly it was too much. The shrimp fried rice was tasty. The fried wings were okay, I think they just lacked some flavor. The spring roll and dumplings were also okay crab Rangoon was so good! Would definitely return and try other things.

Service and atmosphere was good. Food was more sweeter than expected. Pad Thai and tiger cry was bit sweet. Tiger cry seemed like candied meat. The larb was okay and green curry was fine. Overall it was okay. It didn't sway from my usual Thai spots since I have had tastier versions of these dishes at other places.

Two words: CRAB RANGOONS. I've heard great things about their crab rangoons and I finally got to try it! They were the perfect texture with the crunch but soft when you get a bite of the crab filling. The dipping sauce was also on point. I thoroughly enjoyed my mild pad see eiw with chicken. I had a feeling the spice levels were going to be extremely higher than what I'm used to and unfortunately the minimal spice level on my boyfriend's pad Thai was super hot already and couldn't enjoy his meal as much. Thai iced teas were super delicious. I would love to come back and dine inside their beautiful restaurant!

I would highly recommend this place. I loved the decor, the space is huge, the staff is very friendly and most importantly the food is very good! They serve big portions at decent pricing. I think this is probably my favorite Thai food restaurant!

Absolutely delicious, authentic Thai food in a beautifully decorated building in Chicago. It was a nice walk here, and while much of the food was spicy, even though we asked for mild, everything tasted so good. The bar drinks are uniquely mixed, refreshing, and exotic. Try the crispy pork or any dish as your protein, and you will later crave it. It is THAT good! I look forward to returning to try other dishes.

If you're looking for comforting thai food, I recommend this place. The dining room is very spacious and clean. Has a nice modern touch to it. To drink, I ordered a thai ice tea and it was delicious and creamy. My friend enjoyed her thai ice coffee and said it wasn't super strong. For starters, we got crab rangoons and shu mai both of which were very good. I ordered the khao soy for my entree and substituted the chicken for shrimp. It was very flavorful and filling! To end the meal, we got the fried banana which was SO GOOD. I wish they had the mango sticky rice available but it's seasonal :( Id love to come back and try the rest of their menu!

The food is pretty good, but you'll be hard-pressed to get a fresh fried egg on your dish. A must for the Pad Kra Praow dish and you lose the actual experience and fresh, hot yolk. Here: pre-made and just a warm egg. Don't bother asking for a fresh egg, because, and I quote, "we cannot do that." Apparently, fresh made food and the topper for the dish is too much for the kitchen. Advice: drive farther West and dine at JJ Thai as they are pretty authentic. Or venture farther North to IMMM where you'll have even more menu options.

Came to noble with my sister for dinner and the lobby was full of folks picking up delivery orders. They were super busy but we finally got a table and the service was nice but a bit slow. We ordered the curry noodles which was a hit but the pad see ew was a bit dry. The ground chicken was also a bit salty. I'd come here again but maybe try some new dishes.

Since moving to Chicago, I have been looking for an authentic and affordable Thai place. I stopped by Noble Thai based from good reviews and I'm so glad that the food did not disappoint. For its location, I'd say the prices are affordable without sacrificing flavor. The crab rangoons were DELISH, and that says a lot since my parents own a restaurant and makes their own. I could have eaten all of those on my own, they were so creamy and juicy, ugh!! Ambience was very clean and surprisingly modern. Service was friendly too. I will most definitely be going back!

Cute spot, and was pretty quick! I got the crab rangoons and pad Thai! The rangoons were great! Crispy and full of flavor. The pad Thai let me down. All my noodles were stuck together, really lacking a lot of flavor. I didn't get the hype of this place.

Definitely tied for my favorite thai place in town. The garlic rice with tofu, drunken noodles, yellow curry and peanut lovers entrees are always super flavorful and cooked to perfection. The thai tea is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is cute with amazing service. Definitely recommend checking out!!

This place is a 10/10. You will not have any compliments when you arrive. My favorite dishes are the curry options, you won't regret trying any of them. The staff is friendly, the layout is very clean and modern , with nice lighting as well. Also the prices are very reasonable, maybe some of the best in the area.

I have ordered delivery from Noble Thai 3 times now. The first time I got it, I got Medium spice level and it was very spicy. The last two times I got Medium - Mild, and it was not very spicy at all. Next time, I'll go back to Medium when I order the Pad Thai. The pad thai is still very tasty and a great value for the quality and quantity.

Don't get me wrong, Noble Thai was good; and good is good! That's exactly what a Three Star review is - Good. My only problem is, here in Chicago, the last 2 1/2 years we've been living here, our Thai food restaurants we've frequented have been exceptional. That's not to say "I wouldn't come back here", but I probably won't. Noble is a very modern, clean establishment with nice people working here. My issues were temperatures of our food, the correct spiciness of our food and communication with our drinks seemed to have gone awry. I'm not trying to diss this place as I actually liked it, but with so many excellent choices we have with this cuisine, I'll chose to go down the block a few yards for my Thai fix!

Love thai food and of course I had to try a new place in a new town. Came here for lunch with my family and loved it! Location was perfect just walking distance from where we were staying. The decor has a very minimalist feel to it which I really enjoyed. We were treated warmly and our server was really nice. I don't have pictures of what we ordered because we were on the verge of being hangry. But here is what we ordered...chicken satay, shu-mai, tom yum soup and pad kra prow. Everything, delicious! Highly recommend!

Noble Thai offers dishes that range from $6-$15. The food was flavorful and portions were generous. Their interior is modern and spacious inside. During my time here, the waiters were attentive and kind. Tiger Cry: The beef was nicely charred and flavorful. It tasted good with the tangy chili sauce. Khao Soy: Again, flavorful. The portion was a lot, so I ended up taking my leftovers. A second meal for me, haha! Mango & sticky rice: The mango was yummy and very sweet, which I enjoyed. They take walk ins, reservations, and online orders.

Tiger Cry- Unreal, the marinade was the perfect sweetness. The chili sauce paired well, but it was better without it. Pad Lea Paraow Over Rice (Basil)- Very good. Ground chicken was flavorful and egg was over hard. Khao Soy (Hot)- Noodles cooked well with a nice and spicy curry. Got it hot and they made sure we felt the heat. Overall, solid place with a nice modern building and atmosphere. Great for groups.

Very good choice for takeout, delivery AND dine-in. Friendly staff, delicious food. Not a huge menu, but most of the expected choices are there, and I've enjoyed many of them. They are very good at making sure you let them know how hot (as in spice) you prefer. If you are honest with them, you'll get what you will enjoy. The decor is mostly wood with a contemporary style. I think it is fashionable and yet tasteful. There is some attempt to compensate for mostly hard surfaces for noise reduction. Since I was not there during a peak meal time, I can't confirm what level it would be like then, but I found it pleasant. I like that their table sizes, and layouts afford some flexibility to accommodate different group sizes. I can see that as a plus, especially a semi-private area for a medium size group/large table.

This is for a DoorDash order.... Was excited to try based on reviews We got Pad See Iew and that had some gross mystery meat that looked like pork but we ordered beef!! Same mystery meat in his beef fried rice and I had the yellow curry with hardly had any chicken and no vegetables like at all... $50 later no one ate the mystery meat noodles dish and my husband was still hungry.... Won't be going back

Atmosphere was simple but modern. Very open. Pork pot stickers were freshly made and very meaty. I prefer more traditional dough as this was a bit too thick. Tofu pad Thai was flavorful and shrimp fried rice had nice whole pieces of shrimp. A few too many sliced onions but I was able to easily pick them out

All the flavors here are excellent. The only complaints I have would be that the curries have very few ingredients mixed in, so it's essentially just curry, a few pieces of the meat chosen, and a small quantity of vegetables. The khao soi is also low on meat and is almost entirely noodles. Nitpicky but I've had better khao soi and curry at a lot of places. Everything else, Noble Thai does well. The restaurant is clean and the service efficient and fast. It'll be a go-to but I'll skip the curries and the khao soi.

What a hidden gem! Most customers here were coming for takeout, but the interior has an adorable bright seating area, so we ate in. Very friendly service, decent prices, good portion sizes, and excellent drinks! This place went above expectations for a neighborhood Thai spot and we'll definitely be back. They have a happy hour too- definitely get the deals!

Love this place!! We've been looking for something to hit the spot since we came back from Thailand and this is the first place to do it! The flavors are very authentic. The appetizers are great and we loved the wings and skewers. Their fried rice and noodles are pretty good too. Came back twice and will keep coming back for pick up!

Walking into this place, I was actually surprised by the ambiance. It kind of felt like an upper-scale restaurant. Interesting aesthetic. They also decorated for Halloween near the front check in area which was nice. They have a nice bar seating area too with a sunroof. Like I said - the aesthetic here is surprisingly nice. The employees here were really nice and sweet. Nothing bad to say about the service the entire time. I also really liked that they have happy hour between 4-6pm Monday - Friday. I took advantage of that no doubt by ordering a Kirin draft. As far as my food, the reason why I took a star off is because my pad see ew beef was not that good! The beef was very dry and had no flavor. The noodles and beef ratio was also surprisingly the opposite of what I'm used to with way less noodles. If the beef was actually good, I wouldn't have really cared and probably would have enjoyed having more meat for once, but the dryness really made the meal not enjoyable. I will say that our table ordered crab Rangoons and I liked them a lot!

Very nice design of dining room with a very appealing bar area. Tom yum soup. With chicken. Level 2 to 3 spicy was very good The table of 5 people all enjoyed their food very much. Sorry I am doing this a week after and I am not sure just what we had. I know we had spring rolls. I also know we all wanted to return to try more. I do not think the cost was low but we felt the cost matched the quality. It was not overly expensive. I wish I took better notes. The service was good and fast.

Love their Thai food, very authentic. Ordered crab rangoon, pad thai, cashew peanut dish, Tom yum soup, fried donuts, and fried banana to go. All the dishes were fresh and flavorful. Loved the pad Thai, the higher spicy level was actually spicy. Can't go wrong with any dish. Was reasonably priced too.

The food was good and the cucumber martini was delicious, but was pretty disappointed in the service. We arrived for our 8:15 reservation on time and were immediately told the kitchen is closing soon so we need to order asap (which is fine, I understand that), but as we are still eating our dinner the dessert we order comes out and is just sitting there. Then the staff begins to start mopping the floors, turns on the lights and stops the music by 9pm. If your restaurant has a hard stop at 9pm, you shouldn't be taking reservations past 7:30pm. We were in such a rush to finish the meal, we ended up getting to go boxes.

The absolute BEST Thai food I've ever had. The service was so fast and the staff is very nice. The space is very modern and the prices are really affordable. Everything here is amazing I can't wait to come back to try more dishes.

I will think about that tiger cry appetizer until the day I come back. The service was quick and very polite. The spice levels are accurate

Came back one year later Oct 2023: Pad Thai was really sweet. Green curry didn't have much flavor this time besides the coconut milk and less veggies and chicken. Small portions overall. Rice wasn't even filled up all the way! Would not return.

I only tried Uber eats since I have a baby and I don't think this place would be appropriate to bring a energetic little hooman lol. The food is really delicious!! The Tom yum is a fav ..right amount of spice and flavor. The chicken wings is really good here as well and crab Rangoons has a lot of stuffing in it !! Yumm. Can't wait for my next delivery order.

I've gotten takeout from here twice and both times were great! Food was ready when expected, and there's spots to park your car real quick on Chicago Ave. We got the moo ping, pad Thai, and Khao soy. I really enjoyed the Moo Ping (pork skewers with special sauce) -- the pork was really juicy and the sauce had a really unique flavor profile with citrus, sweetness a bit of smokiness, and a delayed spicy kick. It's a great alternative to chicken satay. The Khao soy was also really good, egg noodles with rich red Thai curry coconut milk sauce. I didn't get a chance to try the Pad Thai but I did notice the lime slice they put in was already starting to go bad so I tossed the lime. Overall the food was still really good and a great price! The interior looks really nice too.

I have done both take out and dine in in this Thai place and I strongly recommend! They offer a variety of food that are GF for those with allergies. The service during dine-in was great. It is family friendly.

Called to see if they were open for lunch and BYOB. Yes and yes, said the girl who answered the phone. Packed up the family and drove to the restaurant, to be greeted by the same girl..... "Did you just called? Sorry, we aren't BYOB and there is a $20 corkage".

The pad Thai wasn't quite traditional. No bean sprouts, no peanuts, shreds carrots instead. I liked the flavor but if I hadn't known I ordered pad Thai I would not have guessed that. The massaman was basic. Curry was a bit thin. Hardly any meat and potatoes in it. In general, the to go portions seemed on the small side to me. I saw someone else say that they were bigger in person. I can't confirm but I wouldn't be surprised. Given the other Thai options, I wouldn't order from here again.

So gross. I got my food to-go. Pad Thai was one big lump so noodles broke apart into small bits. Paid $3 for shrimp and got 2. Portion was tiny and half were carrots and cabbage. Got red curry and there's no base. Dried up veggies and meat. Got chicken satay and that was good. Thai tea was worst I ever had. It's water (I ordered no ice too). I will not be ordering again.

Took me SO LONG to find this. It's my favorite Thai spot in Chicago I'm from Hong Kong and been to Thailand maybe 10x growing up. so my standards for Thai food is quite high. It took me 5 years to finally find a Thai spot I loved, now I'm sharing it with y'all. All my Hong Kong friends said this was their favorite meal of our girl's trip & @ & & : - actually owned by Thai people (where you have to ask about "Thai spiciness" ) - made fresh with authentic flavors - super affordable (as Thai food should be) - no skimping - lots of effort into the "wok hei" or "heat of the wok" , sauces , curries, herbs & fresh shrimp - incredible decor + skylight - Happy Hour 4-6p weekdays $4-6 draft & $6 potstickers (for must-order) - Thai Iced Tea (nice & creamy) - Thai Iced Coffee - Chicken Satay (incredible sauce, with 6) - Tiger Cry (grilled beef) - Papaya salad (ordered a medium spicy) - Crab Rangoon (comes with 8) - Pad Thai (nice & dry with chewy noodles) - Gaeng Pet Ped (Duck Red Curry, huge chunks of meat) - Pineapple Fried Rice - Pad Kra Pao (Holy Basil & Pork on rice) - Mango Sticky Rice (seasonal + pandan) - $110 for 4 people so around $27 before tax & gratuity Noble Thai 1371 W Chicago Ave, Chicago IL 60642 Book on @resy Open Wednesday-Monday CLOSED TUESDAYS 11am - 9pm

So this is a very generous rating. It's clearly a family run business operated with enthusiasm. They won't be getting a Michelin star anytime soon because my friend spoke of the inconsistencies in the cuisine. I believe her 100% even though it was my first time here. The beef egg noodle dish medium lacked flavor to me. The chicken wings were undercooked and doused with flavorful seasonings. The crispy pork wasn't crispy. The highlight of this meal was the chicken pad Thai that was familiar in flavors of all other Thai restaurants I've previously experienced. The best part of this venue is the decor! I don't think I'll return ever but if you live in the area it could easily become a staple for your family.

After getting a procedure done, I was craving Thai food. I ordered food here and the two of the dishes out of three we had ordered was horrible. We ordered there before, but this time it was bad. I called UBER Eats and they said because it was the food bad, it wasn't their fault. The restaurant said since I didn't pay with them and we went through UBER Eats, they couldn't refund or give us a replacement for food. I had the Pad Se Ewe that had no flavor and the Seafood Fried Rice that was so spicy it burned my taste bud and had to drink so much water. The only thing right was the Pad Thai. If you are going to order from third party like UBER EATS expect that restaurant to NOT stand by the quality their food, you will get sub par since it's ok if you order through UBER Eats. They can give you sub par food and/or worse. I wouldn't expect much on their delivery service. There are plenty of other Thai places to order from in the city and other delivery place to order from.

Great authentic curry. I tired the green curry, red curry and a noodle curry (Khao Soy). They all had that rich creamy curry flavor with the perfect amount of spice that makes your nose run a little, but doesn't make your mouth burn. The Khao soy noodle curry was phenomenal. The noodles come out looking crunchy and hard, but cook in the curry as you dunk them in causing them to not get over cooked. Entrees are about $12 for a large portion so don't be scared to order a few dishes to share and take home for leftovers. The only downside is their cucumber martini was so bad that I would recommend trying it. I don't think i've found a more taste bud annihilating drink In my tenured years of adult beverage consumption.
