Pen Thai

Me and my husband came here on a Sunday afternoon and we love Thai food - curry, Pad see eiw, tom yum. Most thai places we go to are normally expensive and not good…but this place was beyond our expectations. Very fresh, hot, and flavorful food. Smells very authentic, all the vegetables and meat tasted very fresh. Definitely coming back here for our next Thai craving! Glad we decided to give this place a chance. Edit: They have lunch specials from Monday-Friday, definitely coming to check it out!!!

Stopped here and grabbed some Tom Kha soup, fresh spring rolls, Crab Rangoon, and Pad Thai. The soup was very good! I thought it might have been missing a little of the chili oil i normally get on top but it was pretty dang tasty regardless. The spring rolls were decent, im used to them served with a peanut sauce, not sure what this black sauce is but it was pretty good. The crab rangoon was probably my favorite of everything, they were top notch. On to the pad thai, i got mine mild and it still had some good heat, it was the really slow heat that builds up and i feel like it gets hotter if you stop eating it. Overall it was good, but the fried egg stood out more than anything which is kind of a dish ruiner for me. The sauce was overpowered with the egg, but when you get past that its a really solid dish. I am also used to having lime with mine but it didnt come with it, next time i will ask for a wedge. Thanks guys, i appreciate the food!

The food in this restaurant is great. Some work folks decided to try this Thai restaurant instead of the one we usually go to and it turned out to be a good decision. The food here was great . There's plenty of choices for vegetarians. Even the meat eaters in the group found their dishes to be good. The place was busy and so you mustn't be in a big rush when visiting this place.

Have had meals from Penthai twice now, and both times were great! My first try was a little more spicy than I expected. I chose 3 out of 5, and it was HOT! The second time I knocked it back to 2, and it was perfect for me. The Pad nee mao is awesome! This has to be the best place around. Don't miss out. Just realize they bring the heat!

This place is a gem in the restaurant choices of NW suburbs . It is intimate with booth seating and a minimalist style in decor. It was busy with carryout business on a Saturday nite and in spite of this, the server kept up with the pace of waiting table and sending the carryouts with walk-in customers. Food is very good and there are plenty of interesting appetizers on menu. We ordered a red curry soup and cashew chicken which tasted really good. If you like hot, it comes with dried red peppers. I opted out of these and wished for a little heat in the dish after all. We Will definitely go back to try another dish next time
