“ Very nice atmosphere with a friendly yet polite staff. The food was good and a nice selection of vegetarian friendly options. Will visit again! I should say though that it did feel weird eating Asian food without chopsticks. ”

“ I loved Green Leaf! The menu features so much food that usually aren’t found on US menus...like my absolute favorite, miang sa-wan! The restaurant is beautiful inside too. ”
“ Delicious Papaya salad set! Speaking as a Thai, this is probbaly one of the most authentic Papaya salad set I have in Chicago. Highly recommend! ”
“ This place is nothing but PERFECTION. Not only did the atmosphere make me feel at home, the food itself was incredible. Everything from the appetizers, main dish, dessert, and drinks were made with love and talent. Great place to take anyone!!!! Wish I could give a 10 STAR rating. ”
“ This is such a great Thai restaurant for a few reasons: excellent, fresh, flavorful dishes that have pretty nuances like a Hibiscus flower garnish or little carrots cut into flowers. Their Tom YUM KAI soup is outstanding, good for 3-4 people to share. One of my favorites in the Pad Praw Keow- ground chicken and fresh basil with peppers. Sauce is delicious- not too sweet or too salty. Just perfect. Also I dined in last night, and felt very comfortable dining in despite it being the pandemic. The hostess checked our vaccination cards and IDs. I saw her do that with everyone who came in. Tables were spaced out appropriately too. Finally service is great- got seated right away, waters were served and orders taken within a few minutes. We ordered all dishes at once but appetizers, salad and entrees were spaced out so we didn’t feel rushed. Definitely returning for the amazing food!!! Reasonable prices too, average entree was like 10-12, not too bad for lots of fresh amazing food! ”
“ This is truly a hidden gem. I’ve driven past this place hundreds of times and never even noticed it. Decided to come after seeing an Instagram post and, boy am I glad I did. I had the yellow curry with chicken and it was so creamy and delicious, wow! My boyfriend had the Gai Yang and Papaya Salad and he loved it as well. The fact that it’s BYOB makes it even more incredible. Definitely recommend. ”
“ This is the best Thai food I have ever eaten. Tom Yum soup is very appetizing and the roast chicken is tender and juicy. That is the heaven! ”
