Reviews for Green Leaf Thai Cuisine in Chicago, IL
Back in 1995 I had my first khao soy at this Thai place in OakBrooks shopping mall. Since then ive been looking for khao soy... that is as close to that one and I finally found it!! The curry is perfectly spiced with heat and not too soupy complimentedwith both crispy and wet noodles. This is how i remember it. This is a no-frills thai resto with great flavors and reasonableprice points. Yes there are many thai places in Chicago that have better locations but you will pay a bit more and get lessfood. What is not compromised here is taste!! Read more
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. Read more
Great Thai food at good prices! BYOB is a nice touch too. The masaman curry was fantastic! Just like any proper Thai food, it... tends to be very spicy, however they will adjust it to your preferences. I look forward to trying more of their menu. Read more
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 toosalty. Just perfect. Also I dined in last night, and felt very comfortable dining in despite it being the pandemic. The hostesschecked our vaccination cards and IDs. I saw her do that with everyone who came in. Tables were spaced out appropriatelytoo. Finally service is great- got seated right away, waters were served and orders taken within a few minutes. We ordered alldishes at once but appetizers, salad and entrees were spaced out so we didn?t feel rushed. Definitely returning for the amazingfood!!! Reasonable prices too, average entree was like $10-12, not too bad for lots of fresh amazing food! Read more
Excellent Thai Foods. Fresh and tasty. Feel like you are in Thailand. Service are good. A must try.
Food is delicious here. They have a good selection of thai dishes. The Yen Ta Fo (seafood) soup is a must try especially during... the cold weather in Chicago. Waiter was a little frustrated with all the questions I ask about the menu but overall all goodservice. Read more
Excuse the photo of the sampler plate shown here; we already pulled a couple of pieces off before I could snap the photo. This... tasty little morsel is tucked in near the subway in the intersections of Western and Lawrence. It?s a BYOB, so take a walkbefore you enter to the end of the block which has a small and very resourceful liquor store. The owner and his dog will greetyou and you have a good amount of anything to choose from to bring with for your dinner at Greenleaf. This is exactly the typeof small dining experience and hope for either running out for a bite to eat after a hard day working downtown, or a quiet smalltable in a busy small Thai restaurant that delivers an array of excellent food. It?s clean, and sometimes feels overly busy butthat?s just their hustle and vibe; settle back and share a couple of plates? and tip well because the experience is wonderful.When someone says ?I know a great little Thai place right here in the neighborhood? they are probably talking about Greenleaf. Aperfect before show dinner to the old town school or adjacent attractions, but if you just need a quiet place to sit and reflectwith a friend, you couldn?t find a better corner than this. Read more
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. Read more
