Chai Thai is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed with warm hospitality and the intoxicating aroma of fragrant spices. Every dish is a masterpiece--perfectly balanced flavors, rich and aromatic curries, and just the right level of heat to awaken your taste buds without overpowering them. The Pad Thai? Unforgettable. The Green Curry? A revelation. And don't even get me started on the crispy spring rolls--pure perfection. Each bite is an explosion of flavor, a dance of sweet, spicy, tangy, and savory all at once. And while I tell myself I'll save room for dessert, the truth is, I never do. But that's why I always order three to take home--because the experience doesn't end when I leave. Hours later, I get to relive the magic all over again. If you haven't been to Chai Thai yet, you're missing out on something truly special. This isn't just a meal--it's an experience you'll keep coming back for!

Best thai around Plainfield. Ask for their mango curry, worth to try. Speedy service and customer friendly attitude

What a gem! Recently changed owners a year ago and he couldn't be doing a better job! Walked in and they had a big dinner birthday party! Treated their guests wonderfully and talked with me for 5 minutes. The owner is super kind and extremely personable. I got the green curry beef and I was very pleased. Great flavor, great spice level, one of my favorite dishes I e had in a while. My family got a plethora of other things like basil chicken, sweet and sour stir fry and orange chicken all with great reports. Nothing but full bellies and happy palates! 10/10 would recommend!

This place is my go to restaurant for Thai Food in the area. I made an extra effort to try different items on the menu and been impressed. I ordered Beef Jerky, various curries, salads, vegetarian dishes(Fried Tofu and mixed veggies etc). The mango sticky rice is a must try, fresh mango with blue sticky rice was delicious. The presentation was very impressive. Very accommodating with allergies and special requests. Thank you

Our family absolutely loves this place! The staff is extremely friendly, food is prompt, and flavors are on point. While our family has been coming to this venue for years as well, however, we're not noticing the same challenges as other Yelpers mention about new ownership. The amount of crispy duck I received in my curry--about two duck breasts--is a stark difference from Yelper Pierre P's experience (and only $26?!). Overall the food is flavorful and has depth. Granted, I have not ordered the same dish from original vs. new owners, so we're not noticing the same changes as Yelper P. J. Our favorite treat is ordering boba teas ahead of time and picking 'em up for a between meal snack. So many options; all delicious! *A Note on Spice* Chai Thai offers heat levels 1 - 5 (see chili pepper icon chart on lunch side of menu). I consider myself very tolerant of heat levels (often getting "extra hot" at Dave's Hot Chicken), but IMO, curry spices are a different heat profile. I have had a level 4 curry before and my eyes were watering with every bite! Personally a 2 or 3 is plenty for me, while my wife and kids will typically stick with a 1. OR, did you order, but the dish is not spicy enough? Ask for the condiments tray which includes ground pepper spice mix, pickled vegetables, chili sauce, and small peppers? in fish sauce.

We loved this place! First time here on Sunday for an early dinner; 3 adults, 2 toddlers, set us back about $76 including a 22% tip. Ordered: steamed pork dumplings, fried tofu, pad see ew with tofu, another with chicken and a pad wood sen with tofu. Hubs also got the Thai iced tea. Fantastic and kind waiter, with super clean high chairs and plastic kid cups with lids! My only improvement request is to add a changing table to the men's restroom and we'd be weekly visitors!

Looks like a family owned establishment. The service was nice and people very friendly. Lots of seating inside. The food was very good too!! We got green thai curry - the curry was so flavorful and cozy..loved it. We also got street style noodles - amazing flavor again...would get it again. Overall very nice experience, would come back!!!

The ratings of this restaurant are all over the place! Our first and only experienced was great. The food was excellent. We were served by the owner/cook (we think) and she was very nice. And the ambiance was cute and charming! We were served on fancy Chinet but we didn't mind. We were also told that sometimes they close the dining area at dinner time when business is slow. So based on this and the fact that there were no servers during lunch time... we thought that maybe they did these things to keep afloat... and that may explain the mixed reviews. But we thought the food was worth visit and we would recommend.
