Lao Thai Spicy Noodle - South Elgin

We've been here several times. The food is good (what we expect), the employees are friendly the service is good.

We have ordered takeout from this place twice now. The food is fantastic! We now get a weekly craving for it and will be spreading the word on their deliciousness.

Hands down the BEST Tom Yum soup ever. I get two orders every time because I just can't get enough!

Overpriced. I ordered the fried rice. They charged me $4 extra for shrimp, and I only got 3 pieces of shrimp (they were not even jumbo shrimp) so that means I paid over a dollar per shrimp. Not to mention there was barely any chicken either, but there was an insane amount of peas/carrots. Overpriced but they cheap you out on the portions. This is my second time eating here, the only reason I gave 2 stars is because the taste is decent, but nothing special.

Just moved to South Elgin from Batavia and have been to all the best Thai places in Chicago and more I’m confident. I lived in Hawaii along many Asians for over 10 years so feel I know what’s up. Tried this randomly by searching online and went for it. Was glad to see lot of local Asians eating there that’s always a good sign. Hearing someone order papaya salad was also a good sign. It’s a Thai staple and many places that claim to be Thai don’t offer that dish and very lame to me at least. … – show
