Best WLM Reviews
I ordered the Dim Sum Set, which was good but the portion size was a bit small for a two people appetizer and it being $10. The main courses I had were the Pad Kee Mao (medium spice with veggies) and Red Curry (medium spice with shrimp). These dishes were very delicious and had good presentation but the spice level seemed lower than expected since it wasn’t spicy at all. I would recommend people with good spice tolerance to order a hot or extra hot dish. The service was nice and welcoming and the ambiance was great.
Beautiful restaurant with good service. The sausagee appetizer is very delicious, not too spicy. I ordered the Hawaiian chicken, expecting something sweet and spicy, but it was more like sweet and sour chicken. I should have known since it's not a normal Thai dish. Basil Fried Rice was very good, with many vegetables and protein. Pad Kie Mao w/ shrimp lacked flavor and not spicy (reviewed by my Thai wife). My daughter liked the Pad see ew. I asked for Thai Hot for my orders but found it to be maybe medium.
I would like to give more than 3 stars, but I've had better.
First time trying this place. I really like how you can choose your spice level on any dish. The staff were very nice and they actually check on you. I didn’t have to ask for my water to be refilled, they were watching and when it would get low they would come over which in my opinion is excellent service. The fresh tofu rolls were good, tasted fresh and crisp, not watery, good balance of flavor. The papaya salad was very different. It was good but a little large, couldn’t finish it all. The pad see ew was very good except for the noodles. I felt the noodles were over cooked and too broken apart. I would have liked the noodles to have stayed intact and longer instead of scooping up bits. Veggies were cooked nicely and sauce was good though. This place is in a great location downtown Arlington heights and overall I would recommend checking it out.
Me and my wife especially drove here to try it. Such a disappointment. We ordered Satay Chicken for appetizer- this is good. Chicken Tom Yum soup- fair a little weird in taste. Chef's Favorite Seafood Noodle- presentation is beautiful, taste is ok. But the noodle was so dry that you need to drink water at the same time to swallow it. Then Basil Duck- presentation is nice but my God! The duck meat was so salty, I don't even think I can be considered edible. I could say I wasted my $90. The waitress explained to us that they are not considered as authentic Thai restaurant but a fusion of Thai. That I do believed bec when we look around, all their customers are Caucasian. Will definitely not recommend this place.
I have been a customer of AltThai for over a decade. This place is very expensive for thai. My bf was picking me up takeout, he had a long way to drive so he asked for the thai iced tea with no ice so that it wouldnt water down on the drive. They couldnt even fill the cup to the line. We just spent $40 on a one soup & one noodle dish and they couldnt even fill the cup to the top. What would that have costed? 35c? Like i said, i have been a returning customer for years & years but now im rethinking of supporting this place because they cheap out. Siri Thai II in palatine will give you double the portions for half the price & is wayyy more authentic. Skip this spot.
Staff was nice. Food tasted more America than Thai to me. Why the rating is low is because I had this piece of glass like piece in the food I ordered. Got a small cut and that wasn’t the best experience. Hopefully other people don’t have this in their food.
The food was very tasty. I got the Panang curry, and my husband got the garlic chicken. The portion size was great for the price, and the spices were on point. It wasn't just the food though, the staff was also very friendly and attentive.
Nice thai restaurant place in arlington height and close to train station. The food is delish. We tried the spring rolls, pad thai, shrimo fried rice, cucumber salad, crab rangoon. It was good. Love it. Would comeback again to try another dish
