Spoon Thai

We had delivery so I couldn’t give a honest review on service & atmosphere. The food itself was decent quality and flavor. The portions on the pad see eiw were average. The beef on my order was cooked nicely and wasn’t chewy. My wife had the tofu option. No complaints. The crab raccoons were great in texture and flavor. Smaller then average portions. But for $6.95 I think there was 5/6 pieces. The pot stickers were also decent in flavor and texture. Not soggy. Right amount of crispy. Portion size around average. The dipping sauce was my favorite part. Tang, sweet, not really sour but maybe just more tang? It was good.

Returning after years was like slipping into a comfy sweater, familiar warmth embracing me the moment I stepped through the door. Aromatic whispers of Penang curry, my old flame, were enough to set my mouth watering. Chives cakes kicked off the feast. Pad Thai, a classic symphony of noodles, and sweet-savory sauce, played beautifully on my tongue. But then, the spotlight landed on the undisputed star: their legendary BBQ pork fried rice. Each grain danced with caramelized BBQ pork. Sweet, salty, savory - a tango of flavors that stole the show. Of course, the Penang couldn't be ignored. Creamy, vibrant with spices, it transported me to tropical beaches with every bite. Tender beef sang in harmony with ginger, lemongrass, and chilies, leaving a lingering melody of deliciousness. Spoon Thai wasn't just a meal; it was a reunion with an old friend, a joyful tapestry woven with familiar flavors, friendly service, and vibrant atmosphere. I left with a full belly and a heart overflowing with warm memories and the promise of many more delicious returns.

Portion sizes are pretty good. The pad thai was good, it wasn't as saucy as I like it, but it met my cravings. My bf got the green curry and he was happy with it. It came with a lot of rice and he was super full afterwards. It was medium spicy. The thai tea is okay. I think they put a lot of attention to detail with their packaging for take out, which I really appreciate. They put the tea in a separate bag in case it spills. They also wrap the utensils nicely.

The opened around the same time I moved into Lincoln Square back in the late 90s. They had paper plates, plastic utensils, and absolutely no atmosphere. But as the grew deservedly more popular they flourished and the food continues to be a pleasure.

Really quiet place to get some food with friends. Food is moderately priced and tastes great. Great for take out or even for a small meal.

Consistently good Thai food especially their curries. Simple decor but comfortable and byob. Eat in, carry out or delivery.

Baby egg rolls were delicious and adorable. Extensive menu and quick service

I got the fried rice chicken curry and I have never tasted a Thai curry dish that was SO dry and plain! There was no flavor. No spice at all. The chive dumplings were disgusting, as if they just heated it up quickly for take out. Will definitely not be coming back! Hopefully I didn’t catch any food poisoning from this lackluster meal.

The food was SOOOO good here. Something for everyone. It took us forever to decide because the menu looked so appetizing. Service was great and the restaurant was very chill, not super busy either! I got the taro balls in coconut milk dessert and it was delicious. Everyone from my table took a spoonful of it.

I'd been here about a decade ago and returned again since it was one of the oldest places in my bookmarks. I wanted to see if it was a good as I remembered it, and it was! I made a reservation by phone, but it didn't seem to be needed. We came on a Thursday evening and were pretty much the only people eating inside. They seemed pretty busy with online orders, though. They are still BYOB, which is one of the reasons I picked this place. We were given wine glasses and our orders were taken pretty quickly. We broke it up by ordering in waves. We stated with appetizers and then the entrées. Everything came out in a timely manner and then we were pretty much left to our own devices. When the food was brought out, I asked for some salt to add to my rice and it took a long time for that to come out. My friend also asked for chili sauce and that took just as long. After that, we didn't see the server again until we flagged her down to order dessert. Getting the regular stuff was timely, but asking for anything extra can take time. They weren't busy inside, but the kitchen was bustling. I can only assume they had a lot of online orders. Either way, we weren't checked on much. And this was fine since we didn't need much, but it was noticeably hands-off. For dessert we split the Fried Banana (plantain) and Sticky Rice with Mango. The Mango was very pale and we worried it would be flavorless, but it was actually pretty sweet. I enjoyed it and I'd get it again! 3 Appetizers, 5 Entrées with White Rice, 1 Side of Fried Rice, and 2 Desserts came out to $30pp with tax and tip. Totally reasonable for such a tasty meal!

Food is quick. Love coming here regularly for dine in and takeout. Service is quick and friendly, attentive! Byob. Great spot, clean and quiet. Have ordered and eaten here many times!

Delicious selections and a wide variety of dishes. I came for a quick lunch while visiting friends and family in chicago and hubby and me found this place in the core of the magnificent mile in the core of Chicago, we loved it. Dishes are plentiful with a great flavor. We were welcomed by super friendly and efficient personnel. Price is also very friendly so won't break your budget. The place is cozy and clean. You won't be disappointed if you're in the area and tired of pizza or pasta.

Terrible customer service. When caught making frequent mistakes this tiny family biz always pretends they suddenly can't speak English and/or use computers for refunds. Shamefull cheats.

It's been a long time since I've been at spoon Thai and I was going to go to another Thai restaurant by Broadway but it was closed on Monday and I really had a craving for Thai food. The last I went to spoon tie it was only carry out during the pandemic but now they're ready for dining in however you have to have your vaccine card and your identification like the state ID or driver's license to dining in. Other than that the food is very good and it's reasonably priced some Thai restaurants tend to be overpriced And this one was within my budget but still was delicious. Do give spoon tire try. You won't be disappointed. Modest but yet traditional Thai cuisine that I was craving for

I eat Thai food about twice a week. Overall, Spoon Thai is the best option in the whole city. I have been to over 20 Thai places in Chicago. They are the best. Their pad Thai is the very best available out here. Beef Pad see eew with crispy noodles ( that's not on any menu, they typically charge $1 extra for the crispy) is fantastic and just amazing. They are superior to anything else around them and the prices are as reasonable as can be hoped for, service always good.

So, we've fallen in love the curry here!! I'm shocked at the low stars because I can day enough good things about the curry! Perfectly sweet with a hint of spice. This is solid curry! We haven't had anything else yet, but I'm looking forward to more.

I only order carry-out here as I literally live across the street. I have never dined in so I can't say anything about service. Spoon is a solid Thai option in Lincoln Square. Prices are super cheap for quality Thai food, which I definitely like! I've had their Pad Thai Noodles, Panang Curry, Tom Yum Soup, Wonton Soup, and Crab Rangoon. The Pad Thai and Wonton Soup is ok. The Crab Rangoon is a little small, but all crab rangoon is going to be small after you have eaten at Cozy Noodles in Wrigleyville. The Panang Curry and Tom Yum soup was very good! Overall, I've had better Thai food in Chicago, but Spoon is a solid option for cheap and is very convenient for me. I think Spoon lacks flavor and when I think of Thai, I feel it should have a plethora of flavor. I will have to expand my horizons and try some new menu items.

Fast. 20 mins even though they say longer. Always great. Our goto thai place. Red Curry is our fav with crab ragons.

Portion sizes are pretty good. The pad thai was good, it wasn't as saucy as I like it, but it met my cravings. My bf got the green curry and he was happy with it. It came with a lot of rice and he was super full afterwards. It was medium spicy. The thai tea is okay. I think they put a lot of attention to detail with their packaging for take out, which I really appreciate. They put the tea in a separate bag in case it spills. They also wrap the utensils nicely.

I've been getting carry out here for years. I call in and they have it ready in 10 mins for pick up. Love the crazy noodles, tom yum and veggie supreme. It's inexpensive, delicious and they are very nice.

I ordered a Rama chicken with mango juice today and was very disturbed that the lady passing out the takeout orders is NOT wearing a mask in the middle of this coronavirus pandemic. She's putting customers at risk. Then when I got home I found the mango juice was not real, it was half water and ice and half watered down sugar syrup tasting fake juice. I hoped the Rama chicken would at least be good but it was bland and barely had sauce. When I called to mention that the lady was dealing with customers without a mask they said "Ok thanks." No apology, no "we will ask her to please use a mask around customers." It's government policy for employees to wear a mask in restaurants right now so their customers don't get the life-threatening coronavirus. Won't be coming back here again...

I thought the food and service was really good. We ordered spring rolls, veggie eggrolls, egg salad, pad see ew and spicy crazy noodles which I knew it to typically be called "drunken noodles". I was hesitant to eat there because we were the only people in the place, but the food came quick and delicious. And shortly after we started eating, more and more people showed up. Again the service was great, friendly and quick. I am cautious about trying new thai places because I feel like most of the time it is a disappointment - not this time. Spoon Thai is great!

Just moved to the area. Placed an order at 6:30 for delivery. ETA of 45-60 minutes. 8PM placed a call- was told it would be here in 20 minutes. Called again and they said it would be here around 9PM. Get your act together Spoon Thai.

The food here is AMAZING!!! I love Thai and consistently search for the best that I can find. This place is surely in the top 5. I highly recommend any dish with their peanut sauce, especially if you're fond of chicken satay. I was greeted with a warm welcome, and immediately given an excellent spot. She was quick to serve me water as well. Also the food didn't take long to come out, and was the perfect temperature to begin eating right away! Portion size was exceptional, rice was perfectly cooked, the chicken was perfectly cooked. And the vegetables were fresh. Overall 10/10 experience, highly recommend. The music was excellent and relaxing the ambiance on point.

Chicago has it's fair share of good Thai restaurants but when you are in the Lincoln Square neighborhood the place to go is, Spoon. We have dined here a number of times and we always begin with Banana Blossom Salad. Yes it has banana blossoms tossed with plenty of shrimp, and chicken in tasty coconut milk and sweet lime dressing. I am not sure why we think this is a appetizer salad as it is truly large enough to be an entree by itself. Listed tonight on the special board was, Hot Pot. This was as described, a hot pot of Tom Kha soup full of chicken and mushrooms. I have never not enjoyed anything here but the Hot Pot was over the top and the portion size was huge. Next visit we will order a Banana Blossom Salad and one order of Hot Pot and split it between the two of us. This will more than fill our bellys. My date enjoyed her entree of Nam Prik Pao with Chickhen. So when you add the clean dinning room and fast friendly service I can only give them a 5. Oh and a plus is even though Spoon is on the very busy Western Ave. I have always found parking out front or there is a Brown line stop across the street.

Doesn't look like much, very hole in the wall like, but great Thai food and even better prices! We got the pad see eiw, which in my opinion is way better than pad Thai. Flat thick noodles with veggies and a light sauce! Also recommend the red curry, it's a little spicy but has great flavor as well!

Used to be soooo much better... They had a Thai menu and an American menu. I used to order mainly from the Thai menu only. They've merged the menus from what I can tell, but the Thai originals that I love seem to have been watered down or dissolved. Sad to see. Not as good as it used to be.

I've had Thai at several spots around Atlanta. I was looking for a new spot to try out my favorite Thai dish..Thai Hot Basil Fried Rice. I was glad to see that they had a Lump Crabmeat version with I added Shrimp to the dish. I sat at the bar. I had 2 martinis-Cherry Blossom and Pink and Cucumber .Everything I had was Delicious! The service was on point. I will DEFINITELY return again to dine in or order carry out.

We hastily chose Spoon as we were all starving and our original plan to go to Chinatown for dim sum was foiled by the Ontario bridge construction blocking off 90/94. I'm always down to try some place new so I thought, "what the heck, why not." The flavors were actually okay, but portion sizes were on the smaller side. For appetizers, we ordered the crab Rangoon and potstickers. The potstickers were decent and the crab Rangoon tasted fresh, but I didn't love it. For our entrees, we ordered the pad see ewe, spicy crazy noodles, and spicy basil leaves with chicken. Everything was a step above mediocre, however with Opart Thai and Sticky Rice on the same block and at the same prices, I see no reason to come back to Spoon again.

This has been my go to for 15 years and it's always delicious. Pad sea eaw, beef and broccoli and the Rangoon are my go to, although I haven't been disappointed yet. Easy carry out or delivery and they have their own site to order through. Highly recommend

When I moved to this neighborhood I had Spoon Thai like every weekend. I had it delivered so much I didn't even realize it's actually a pretty cute place and I think is even BYOB. Anyway the food is really good and not expensive and I honestly ate it so much I just couldn't anymore but it's been a while, time for my triumphant return.

A big "thank you" to Spoon Thai for being the one good thing about ringing in this New Year!! Home sick with a massive flu, the only energy I had on NYE was to move from couch to bed to couch. My partner also started feeling lousy, and because we wouldn't be spending money out that night anyway, I decided the occasion called for some delivery. Soup delivery!! 1) Spoon Thai was open on New Year's Eve. Very much appreciated for me, and, I hope the entire staff gets time off soon!! 2) FAST. Within 40 minutes of ordering online. 3) Friendly!! The delivery driver texted me when they were a few minutes away, and again when they arrived. 4) Affordable and easy online ordering!! Already good prices, plus I was prompted to use a 20% off coupon for my first order. Awesome and appreciated!! 5) DELICIOUS!! Oh man. This was what EXACTLY what I needed. Bamee BBQ pork noodle soup (careful though to discern btwn soup and dry, I think I almost ordered the non-soup by accident because it said "soup" in both titles but then one clarifies that it's not soup..), SO TASTY, the broth and the noodles were perfect for my throat. As was the Boat Noodle Soup!!! Finally, the green curry, though we ordered medium, was potent and perfect for clearing out sinuses...yeah, this is going to be a winter and flu-season go-to order. Also, the spring roll appetizer was great, very fresh and attractive display (roll pieces cut at angles - easy to eat). Spoon Thai is great!! I'll be back!!

Very tasty food. It's byob, so plan accordingly. Prices are fair, food is delicious. Parking was easy. Oh, it's byob. Servings were generous and delicious. It's byob. The water glasses are short, and slow to refill. Oh yeah, it's byob. And, its byob.

This is going to be the most scathing review (of my fellow eaters) ever. If you're weak-blooded or weak-hearted, stop now. Dawn M: you're a vegetarian. You know what Bourdain say about vegetarians? Thai cuisine IS fish sauce and lime juice. It's not their problem you can't handle fish sauce. Don't insult an entire nation's cuisine. Matt W: I see pad thai and pad See ew in your review. In 19 reviews, pad Thai/See ew is mentioned 8 times. As sheep, you have no right reviewing this restaurant. Stand outside Spoon and watch me eat. Jess S: do you also get sashimi delivered? Get out of the house, log off of yelp, try eating "out". ditto to T.C. Sarah B: why would you order "other" Asian food @ Spoon "THAI". Have you also ordered escargot at Sabatino? Rick V: Panang curry isn't suppose to be burning spicy. Contrary to common belief, "spicier" doesn't make it Thai-er, or even Thai at all. Mike C: you just reviewed a can of Coke at a Thai restaurant. Being a "misguided" pad thai sheep is worse than simply being sheep. Kim K: apparently you can't tell the difference between a grill and a microwave. You also don't bother to understand what you're actually eating. Arnie: I forgive you, cuz Erik M had barely finished the Spoon Thai translated menu when you ate here, otherwise.. Onwards to the food: unlike Sticky Rice/Rosded/Dharma, Spoon isn't too concerned with budget. They've reached this great compromise of serving gringoes/gaijin/gwai-lo egg rolls in order to allow people interested in actually eating Thai food to order their kung chae naam plaa. The system obviously works well because there are now tons of people ordering pad thai/chicken curry for take-away and delivery. One will notice ordering similar items from TAC/Sticky/Spoon yields higher prices at Spoon. This is not simply self serving. Spoon doesn't skip on ingredients and they don't take short cuts. That Issan sausage is just about perfectly fermented and a wide variety of greens (on choy, bitter mellon, etc.), none of which are considered cheap, are offered. Other interesting Thai items such gouramy fish, fresh thai basil as well as "bitter beans" can also be found on the reasonably priced Thai menu. The in-house laminated Thai translated menus are from early '05. Thai menu has doubled and updated in Mid '06 by Erik M. Find it, study it & sleep with it before going to ST. Find full '06 translation below (as it is NOT on silapaahaan.com): http://lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=7364&highlight=2006+spoon PS: start off with salads and apps (beer food). get the house made fish cake, order some sticky rice, roll said rice into small ball, eat it with your hands along with generous portions of laap, naam tok, etc. interject with mild soups, progress into curries (i like all the jungle curries utilizing thai eggplants), then finish off with pungent stir fried veggie (water spinach) and perhaps a stronger soup. A menu of 8+ plates eaten all family style is truly the best way to sample what Spoon Thai can offer. If you only talk about pad thai and vegetarian profferings at Thai joints, you might as well not bother at all. ..

I got pad see eiw, it tasted okay, but then I bit into something crunchy and came to realize there was almost an entire egg shell in there...... kind of gross. I called them and let them know, they refunded me.

Came in to Spoon Thai recently to pick up an order, and on a Friday night, it was pretty dead. Service was polite and carryout was relatively quick. Tom Kha soup was good- full of lime. Panang Curry was okay, but not much more than a gravy-like curry with chicken. Wouldn't have minded a few vegetables. The Crazy noodles were nice and spicy, but not much noodles. I could see ordering from Spoon Thai if in a bind for delivery, but there are a lot of Thai places along Western Ave., so the others beg for business before Spoon gets another shot.

With so many Thai joints on this stretch of Western, each has to do something to stand out. I'm going to try them all eventually, and so far Spoon Thai isn't a strong contender for multiple return visits. It's a quiet, cozy space with some nice Thai artwork. The service is occasionally awkward but generally pleasant. The food is a mixed bag. The cucumber salad is dismissively standard. I LOVED the tom kha soup. I also enjoyed the tofu soup, which is much plainer but very satisfying. The paid thai is solid, but needs more peanuts and vegetables. And speaking of more vegetables--my main beef is with the spicy basil that I got for takeout yesterday. There was tons of tofu: so far so good. But there were merely a few chunks of green bell pepper, a few rings of jalapeno, and a very few shreds of basil leaves. The flavor was bland and nowhere near spicy, and overall the dish was just boring without all the lovely vegetables that I expect in this dish.

Uncommonly good Thai. No alcohol is served here, but you can bring your own.

F-ing AYYY this is good place. OK, its my kind of place, kind of a dive, fresh food, BYOB, and great menu of authentic thai. Very Very Flavorful. Get the basil chicken, which has a ton of basil. Bannana leaf salad, was divine spring rolls was delicious Won ton soup was light and refreshing GOOD GOOD GRUB

Wow - hands down, this place has become my new favorite Thai place in Chicago - even beat out TAC without question. I came here with two very hungry girls and we ordered strictly from the Thai menu (apologies now for the poor English translation because I really just don't want to misspell anything): duck salad beef salad soup duck curry to go fried chicken with tamarind sauce mussels omelette Chinese broccoli with fried pork and omg - we just kept eating and eating and stuffed ourselves so full and the salad was spicy but so good! The soup was a great balance to the salads and came in a neat container that kept it warm. The omelette was amazing and everything was so good! Flavorful in every bite! And we still had leftovers! For the kind of food you're eating, the quality, the service, and for this place to be BYOB, it's easily the best Thai place in Chicago.

Had this for takeout one night. I had never had Thai before, but it was amazing! Most spectacular food in Chicago area. Definite 5 stars!

NO REPLACEMENT, REFUND OR DISCOUNT. THEY WOULD LITERALLY RATHER LEAVE A BAD (PAINFUL) TASTE IN THE CUSTOMER'S MOUTH... ruin their hospitality experience and TAKE THEIR $ for free, rather than replace an $8 dish, that cost them much less. Requested a papaya salad to be less spicy, yet still extremely spicy, inedible. It was observable I was suffering, it was very painful. I soon worked up the courage to inform a waitress. I asked if a mistake had been made, she said they had lowered the heat to medium, even though I said I'd be ok with just a little spice. Since I couldn't handle it, I asked if it could be replaced. NO REPLACEMENT, REFUND OR DISCOUNT GIVEN. (Only replacement asked for) They showed no remorse or any attempt to accommodate. At the very least they should have discounted the dish. It also claims to have crab, but all you get are small crab shells. (contrary to the photo) It didnt help that the employees handling this were LAUGHING it up amongst themselves as this was being discussed. I had been going to Spoon for about 9 yrs. This was unfair and poor customer service. Especially in a city with many other quality options for Thai food.

We got Spoon Thai last weekend and it hit the spot! We got the Green Curry with Chicken and Pad Thai with Shrimp. So very tasty. I can't wait to try more items in the menu!!!

Found my new spot to get Tom Yum soup! Ask for some chili if you order takeout. Staff is friendly and I will for sure be back.

Super casual, but delish! We had the Garlic Chicken with noodles and the Mixed Vegetables with chicken and rice. Hope to return again soon.

Wrap me up in some Shrimp In A Blanket and Satay Chicken! Yummy! Hubby never had Thai before tonight. He enjoyed his appetizers and the entree of pepper and garlic chicken (with steamed rice). I got the shrimp Spicy Crazy Noodles not too spicy (tummy was a little upset from the healthy salad from lunch, blah), it was perfect! of course the tom kha shrimp soup was tasty and helped soothe my tummy. Top it off with the Thai iced coffee for dessert. Very attentive service and funky music, definitely worth the 30 min walk to this place. We'll be doing it again real soon. This place is pretty good for the neighborhood and not too pricey. They also feature lunch specials if you're in the area during the day.

Whoa. Something must have happened here. Since moving to the area in November, Spoon has been my go-to; the standard to which I held all the other Thai places on Western (and there's a bunch). Back then, I would've given it a solid 4 or 5 stars. Now, a 2 seems about right. Having ordered from them last night after not ordering out for a couple months, I'm inclined to believe there is new management. The pad see ew seemed smaller in the take out container--it used to be packed to the brim. The pot stickers were deep fried, not pan fried like before. The noodle dishes used to have such a beautiful balance of sweet & savory. Now, it tastes like they were simply stir fried in soy sauce. What happened, Spoon?? I then consulted the menu they stapled to the delivery bag and compared it to the one from a couple months ago--it is indeed new. Printed on different paper with a different layout, there are some items missing, some added. Almost everything increased by $1-2. Not just that, but they now have an extra charge for beef dishes--it's no longer part of the "chicken, pork, tofu, veggie" category. I don't know of anywhere that charges extra for beef! They also eliminated the $2 delivery range. It is now either $3 or 4. Oh, Spoon. How I miss you. You are now a mere shadow of your former self. I guess it's time to find a new favorite. :(

Came here for lunch and ordered tom yum soup, banana blossom salad, and rice/sausage from the translated thai menu. Tom kha soup was a perfect balance of thai flavors. Sweet, sour, spicy... on a winter day, yummy and soooothing. The rice sausages were my least favorite. Banana blossom salad was tasty with the curry based dressing but it was more heavy on the chicken than any veggies. The toasted shallots were a nice touch. Overall, pretty decent thai restaurant with a great price. They also have gift certificate for $10 off for lunch on restaurant.com, which really makes it a bargain lunch!

I tried Spoon for takeout with friends. I am probably a bit of a pad thai snob - I order it almost every time I visit a Thai restaurant and I'm very particular about my pad thai. I ordered the chicken pad thai at Spoon and was not disappointed! The serving size was large and the chicken amount was a hefty portion of chicken (and there was tofu, too). The flavor was quite good and had a bit of a kick, which I liked. I also tried some pot stickers (delicious and not greasy) and some sort of egg omlet type thing (I'm not sure what it was called) which was interesting in texture and very flavorful. I'm giving Spoon a 4 based upon food and also delivery time (quicker than expected). Delicious and a good spot for takeout.

My boyfriend and I stopped in at 4pm-ish today for a late lunch/early dinner. We had been planning to go somewhere else, but it was closed, so we went to Spoon since I had heard good things. I ordered one of the curry dishes, and my boyfriend ordered a fried fish fillet with a sweet chili sauce on top. We also had an order of crab lagoons. The food was good, and the service was very good. The food was solid, not amazing, but I would definitely go back to try different things. Especially since it was so affordable and convenient and still plenty delicious :)

I've been eating Thai food for almost a decade now (in high school my Thai friend introduced me to Indie Thai on Broadway and I've been hooked on that place ever since). I think because there are so many Thai places on Western, Spoon seemed like a safe spot to try out. Ugh, what a sad mistake I made... I came here a few nights ago with a friend who didn't like how crowded Opart seemed from the outside (if a place is crowded, that should be a good sign, right?) We definitely should have just gone to Opart because Spoon literally gave us the worst Thai food. The food was greasy, unedible, not well seasoned...it wasn't even Americanized Thai, it was just bad all around. There are so many other places to go to in this city for Thai more worthy of your time and money. Avoid this place, friends.

I love this place. Every dishes here is awesome. I order it online and got the order in 30 mins or so. Extremely Fast!!!! I love Spoon Thai and I'll continue order it. Highly Recommend!!!

I rarely post negative reviews as I believe there are plenty of people who glory in the negative. For almost a decade, Spoon was our go-to Thai restaurant. During that time, in restaurant dining and delivery did not disappoint. The last three experiences, over the past year, have all disappointed. There has been a change in food quality and timeliness of delivery. Beef, in the beef salad, was tender, now is tough. Pot stickers arrive cold. Sauce from fried tofu was sublime, now a different sauce is delivered and could be from the store. I could go on, but you get the point. We're finally moving on.

Spoon is my go-to Thai place in Lincoln Square. The food is always good, whether you get it delivered, take-out, or eat in. I will say that the noodle portions seem slightly larger when you eat in, but oh well. It is BYOB, which is always a bonus. Go to dishes include the Lad Nar, Pad See Eiw, and Garlic Noodles. We went with friends last night and I was jealous of their Rama Chicken and Crab Fried Rice. The prices are very reasonable and the service is always good. If you order delivery, the food usually arrives fairly quickly (less than 30 minutes). My boyfriend raves about their aloe water. There are other Thai places in the hood (Aroy, Opart, Rosded, Yes), and I'd say this one is my favorite. Their food has just slightly more flavor and their speed does it for me.

I have tried different Thai places for my favorite thai meal Pad see ew. This place does it best. If you like coconut curries, their panang curry is delicious! The restaurant itself isn't ostentatious in any way but the food is worth it.

This was our go to place for Thai food (given all the choices in the area). My last review of the place I gave them 5 stars for their awesome service, prices, and quality of food. It seems like there might have been a change in management; menu looks slightly different, prices have increased, portions reduced, and taste not the same as it used to. Sad to say, I'm back on the market to find a new go to thai restaurant. What was once an awesome Lincoln Square staple where you got all the great flavors for you money, is now just an a-ok thai place that over charges you for extras. Thanks for all the awesome memories Spoon, I'm sad to say goodbye.

Ordered this place on Friday. Overall just ok. Ordered the crab meat fried rice spicy. The crab meat was real whick is definitely a plus. But overall lacked in flavor. I wish they would have incorporated it into the dish and stir fried it some. I received it with just about a quarter cup spread on the top. Also received the veggie egg rolls. No complaints there. All in thai food should be full of flavor and this place just misses the mark for me.

one of my favorite thai places. great service, quaint eating spot, also fast delivery! i am very loyal to this place and have taken many friends
