Review Dao Thai Restaurant - Chicago

jose torres
I was in the mood for Asian food but wanted to try a place close to downtown where I could enjoy the beautiful summer weather. I saw that this place has an outdoor seating area, and it's right in the middle of downtown with big buildings surrounding it. It was such a relaxing, cozy experience with an urban feel! The food was so flavourful! I loved it!

Had a great dine-in experience with my friends. Cute little Thai restaurant place with beautiful ambience warm and friendly service. Loved their iced Thai coffee. They have mutiple food substitution options. Overall, a good place to grab a quick bite at a reasonable price. 20% gratuity added for party of 6 and above.

Ordered the Pad Thai, Dao's Noodle Delight, Singapore Noodles, and the Green Curry. The Pad Thai was too plain, however, the Green Curry was the best. The Green Curry had a spicy kick to it and came with eggplant pieces, spinach and peppers in it. The service was good and the decorations indoors were nice, although we sat outdoors in the patio area. The table we sat on had a big hole in the middle, so it may be prudent to get that replaced/repaired. Overall, the food prices are reasonable, the food is decent and the service was good.

We came here because all the other restaurants we wanted to go to were either full or closed. To our surprise it was a really nice experience. The outdoor seating had really nice ambiance, food and service were both good with no wait on a Saturday night. I ordered the pad see eiw with tofu which was good but would ask for marinated tofu for next time if they offer it. Hubby ordered chicken curry which he loved. We would definitely go back to try more menu items.

The best Thai in downtown Chicago! We always stop by for their peanut sauce and chicken skewers.

Overall very reasonable price and common thai food with substitution options. I did feel that it was odd that I couldn't add levels of spices and some of the traditional sauces were not available, however, all the noodles were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were excellent. The atmosphere and different seating was interesting and fun, but it could use a little deep cleaning. It was a great stop for lunch if you need something fairly quick in and out.

Everything was perfect. The food was great, the flavours were really authentic and prices were extremely low for the amount of food which can be shared between two easily. The service from the waitress was also really kind and friendly as well as profesional. The ambiance in the terrace was pleasant. I had the Pad Thai and would deffinetely Would recommend it, the soup was also tremendous.

Food was better than my expectation. We had Pad knee Mao and thai curry. Both were very delicious. Quantity was good enough for two people for light dinner on single item. They do have patio setting available too.

Had wonderful dinner at this place just off the Mag Mile. Satay chicken dipped in sweet peanut sauce delight my taste bud. River North neighborhood features a few decent Thai restaurants. Dao Thai is definitely one of them. I also recommend Silver Spoon on Rush St.

My first time here, I came on Sunday night with a party of 3, very fast seating and service. The seating is so cute. Crab Rangoon were freshly fried. Great customer service. Our food came out fast and it was great. I ordered the yellow curry (hot) and the hot was adding jalapeños. Also, points for peas in a yellow curry. (Sister got hot curry with chicken). After eating here a second time a think four stars is more practical. It’s not EXCEPTIONAL food, I had the hot fried curry (red) with shrimp and begged for spicy and this time there were no jalapeños and it really was just base level spicy. Service is still great and would happily return.

Good food. Had the Pad Thai. Shrimp dumplings and chicken egg roll. Definitely ask for no MSG on food when ordering. Had me full af all day 😂 other than that. Good experience wife had the lemon grass soup it was good too

Really enjoyed my food here. My only issue was I requested no mushrooms and they were to prepare it again. I could tell they just removed the ones and replated my dish because I still found small cuts of mushroom in my dish. However, after I moved them to the side, the dish was awesome. Everyone in my party stopped after each bite to savor the flavor. I had teriyaki pepper steak and the steak was so tender it melted in your mouth.

I love the service here. Everyone SUPER kind, sweet, and attentive. there's lots of seating options and it is so cool and slightly inconvenient to climb into tour seat but it feels homey. There's a bunch of noodle options so we had to get 2 and a carry and papaya salad as a classic Thai dish. Papaya salad looked good and it comes with one shrimp. I felt like it missed a bit of sweetness and chili for me. This one's very tart and felt like it did not have much flavor profile as I am use to. It's very refreshing and the papaya got an addictive crunch to it. The peanut are so good with the whole salad is palette cleansing. Mussman curry with chicken. The chicken was good perfectly in the curry which I'm very satisfied with. It comes with a side of white rice. Curry is nutty, sweet, and creamy flavor that's so good. It honestly surprised me when I got some pineapple because I never thought fruit be in a curry. There's bits of potato and tomato. MUST TRY. Pad khee mao with beef aka spicy crazy noodles which isn't so crazy spicy but def spicy if you hit those jalapeños which adds alot to the dish. It's thick broad noodles that are chewy and absorbs the sause well. The veggies and fresh Thai basil makes this dish very delicious and goes with beef the best. Over dish is slight sweet and spicy with umami from the sause. I recommend. Bamee Noodles in soup is also super refreshing with thin egg noodles and bbq pork. I did not like the pork. The noodle and soup is very good and light. It's lighter on the flavor and the egg noodles is very similar to wonton noodles. The cilantro in the broth makes it very clean and fresh. I enjoyed it Overall the food was decent with fair pricing and fair portions.

We loved it here!! The customer service was great as well. It was my daughter's birthday and she wanted to try something new so we walked in.

Was greeted immediately upon entry and was seated quickly! Very friendly wait service! Food was fresh and quick. Food was absolutely delicious - we ordered fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, Mussaman curry and Pad Woon Sen! All very delicious. To drink we had Lychee Bubble Tea and a Mango Smoothie. Definitely recommend this place for quick food, great, friendly service and a clean environment. Great for couples dates or group outings.
