Feast for both eyes and palate. Take your time to savor each course as there will be some tastes, textures, and flavors that you may have never had before.

Came for a belated birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Food was very good and well seasoned. Some kick to some dishes which I prefer :) and the desert was not too sweet which again I prefer. Atmosphere was a nice touch. Definitely recommend trying the food here :)

Enjoyed the vegetarian Thai fare immensely!! Distinctive taste and balanced flavors. The decor was great but the place was very quiet. Be prepared to wait though after you order food. Preparation takes time but the food is well worth the wait. If you love Thai cuisine, this place is a must try!

Wonderful experience with their tasting menu. Very interesting flavors and dishes that are out of the ordinary. We liked the various appetizers and small bites that then lead to the main courses that are served together. Portion sizes were perfect for us and we were really full at the end. This dinner will take some time, so prepare for at least 2-2.5 hours with dishes spaced out pretty well.

My wife and I dined her and decided to take on the 9-course tasting menu. It did not disappoint! The flavors and presentation of each dish was top notch. The decor is like walking into a museum filled with art work all over. The service was also excellent. Our server Joel was very attentive and gave a thorough explanation of each dish as it was served. The cocktails were on point as well! Looking forward to our next trip to Arun's!

Solid! Not bad at all! 4.5/5 Presentation is great and food is decent! Was an interesting experience that I would recommend trying at least once. I got the 9-course meal and felt really full after! The bill was a few cents over $100 for just the 9-course (no drinks), which is good! I didn't get a chance to post the the last course which was the dessert as my phone died, but it was good too!

Amazing food. Authentic flavors we have missed from our Thailand travels. Service was very attentive but not intrusive. Very welcoming. Took us forever to come here, but our return will be quite soon.

We had booked a reservation on Tock. The restaurant was not busy when we visited on a weekend night; there were several open tables near us. We chose the prix-fixe menu and they easily accommodated our party's food allergies and preferences. The menu changes quarterly and when we visited consisted of 5 starters plated individually, 3 entrees served family style and one dessert plates individually. Each item was flavorful and distinct from the others. The substitutions were effective and we didn't miss the original ingredients. The dessert was surprisingly good as well. There were no other dessert options and while we normally end up with something chocolate when we dine out, the dessert satisfied us all!

The food is not just beautifully presented but it tastes just as good. This is just such a great date night restaurant,, nothing can ever go wrong here..I was so impressed by their drinks as well. I loved their crab wonton.Will definitely recommend to everyone looking to try a new Thai place in Chicago.

I've been to Arun's many times before. I decided to celebrate my boyfriend's bday here and he loved every bit of it. I was so excited to share this amazing experience with him. The food is always on point, presentation is amazing, and every bite you take, you want more. I was looking forward to having the shrimp that's wrapped in a crispy shell, but we heard it's a special that's on the menu when Arun's sister is in town. The only thing that was disappointing were a few of the drinks we ordered. The old fashioned was spectacular. I ordered another cocktail that came in a tall glass with gin I believe and I did not care for it. Then decided to try another cocktail and that some sort of bourbon I think and that was not good. Very bitter and not so tasty. Wish they had a better selection of cocktails. Other than the drinks, everything else was great! Our server was also excellent! He was attentive, very knowledgeable about the food, and very sweet.

Fantastic meal. We are there last night as a celebration for my mom’s 66th birthday and all six of us in the party were delighted with the meal. My mom has a shellfish allergy and it was accommodated perfectly, everyone at the restaurant was knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The meal was delicious and was well worth the tasting menu price. This place is off the beaten path and I would highly recommend it.

Arun's Thai Restaurant offers a great experience for all. The space is very inviting and the hand painted murals are not to miss. Step in and see vibrant Thai folklore that makes the restaurant cozy. The menu is both traditional and gourmet. Tom yum, Pots tickets and Phad Thai are standards that can't be missed. The Pork Belly Southern Style Dried Curry steals the show. Every bite sends flavors all around your palate.

I am so glad Arun’s Thai is open and I finally got to go!!! Omg! This place is a dream. It transports you to Thailand. Chef Arun is delightful. Everything is perfection. Nine course meal that can be customized for your dietary preference and leaves you more than full. That garlic lobster!! Wow! Perfect spot for an occasion too! And the beauty inside with all the murals is breathtaking. Go now or go soon!!

One of the best Thai restaurants that we have dined at in the Chicago area. The ambiance and food was excellent. Plus the service was exceptional as well. Each entree or actually anything that you order from their menu is truly a masterpiece work of art. Looks almost too good to eat, lol! Another thing worth mentioning is that it is definitely way more expensive than most of our other Thai favorite joints. It was just my wife and I and our bill was over $100+! (2 apptz, 2 Entrées, 2 Drinks) But obviously, it was definitely worth every dollar! 😁
