My adult daughter and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at altThai this week. They cheerfully accommodated my request to be seated where I didn't have to navigate stairs and could accommodate my walker. The lunch specials are complete meals and have generous portions

Loved this place and wish I knew about it sooner as a suburban gal. We had a large order and it was ready for pickup very quickly despite how packed the place was on a Friday night. The employees were all so sweet and funny, and the panang curry was very delicious

Always my go-to Thai place. I won't eat at other places. Service and ambience are always solid. Food is always a 10/10.

My family went here for the first time on a Friday night at 5:45. We had made reservations, which I recommend doing since the place was packed by the time we left! I was immediately impressed by the unique decor (pictures don't do it justice). The service we had from beginning to end was outstanding. The pacing of everything was perfect. I ordered fried tofu with sweet & sour sauce and crushed peanuts. The sauce was flavorful and had a spicy bite, which I hadn't expected. The tofu was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. For my meal, I ordered their Mixed Vegetable dish with jasmine rice. The veggies were cooked in a soy sauce so I ordered a side of peanut sauce. It made a delicious vegan meal! I was also impressed that when my daughter ordered Pad Kee Mao, our server asked if she wanted the dish to be vegetarian or vegan. Everyone in my family was highly impressed with altThai and we plan to return soon!

We came by for an early dinner on a Friday night, we didn't have a reservation but should really make one for next time as they were getting super busy as we sat there eating. We started our evening with the dimsum set, it had a variety of dimsum rice rolls and they were great. There were two of each and made it super easy to share with my husband so we could share everything. The sauce that came with it did have a surprising kick as well. For my entree I got a beef pad Thai, and I ordered it mild, so glad I did because it certainly did come with a kick. A good one though, not overpowering but with great flavor. I also got a Thai iced tea that helped calm the spice. For dessert we got an order of the fried ice cream. It was huge we couldn't finish it but it was a nice sweet treat to wrap up the dinner. The staff was super attentive and refilled our water cups multiple times and were incredibly friendly when making menu suggestions. The decor was stunning too, a lot of small touches that made a huge different in each room. We will definitely be back to try other items.

We enjoyed it. We've been here a few times over the years. We were in the area from out of town and decided to have lunch here today. I had the Won Ton Soup (lunch) with Pot Sticker side. The Pot Stickers (2) were fried and were served with a thick dark sauce. I was surprised they were fried but I did enjoy them. The Won Ton Soup was pretty big. There were about 4 Won Tons, quite a bit of meat (I had duck), a lot of noodles, green onions and a lot of broth. I ate all the Won Tons and Duck, some of the noodles and some of the broth. I also added some seasoning that was on the table in a shaker. I enjoyed the soup. My wife had the Pad Thai. She said it was better than average. She's a Pad Thai snob so her rating is very good. We look forward to the next time we're in the area to eat at altThai.

Alt Thai is absolutely delicious ! I'd go so far as to say the best Thai experience I've had in the area. It reminds me of my favorite Thai place as a child from 30 years ago - where the peanut sauce was sweet and you didn't pay extra for rice with your curry lbs The communication from staff is warm and the flavors and spice is just right which is extremely helpful if you're under the weather. Thai soups with a kick can clear out a cold like nothing else. They had some different menu offerings like lamb Massaman curry or the spicy duck rolls which were the highlight for me. You're never short changed wight be amount of ingredients or portions with each meal. It's definitely going to be my go to in the area

This restaurant is versatile. It makes for a lovely little family outing, weeknight takeout, or even date night! They have ample seating and the decor makes for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was okay; I think they were understaffed when I went. They ended up serving one dish at a time which may not sit well with everyone, but we enjoyed it. I loved the sampler plate as an appetizer because each item came with its own unique dipping sauce. If you don't live nearby it's a great way to try as many dishes as possible without spending a fortune or overeating. The spring rolls and chicken satay were especially delicious. I loved the pad Thai, panang, and red curries we ordered for dinner! Each dish was unique in flavor profile. Everything had a nice presentation and was steaming hot, fresh, and craveable.

Craving for something Thai, so we decided to revisit Alt Thai. It is still a nice place with elegant Thai decoration, and the staffs are always friendly and welcoming. The menu is extensive, and they have an indication of gluten-free option. We ordered a Thai lettuce wrap appetizer, which was quite unique - it came with peanuts, coconuts, chilies, dried shrimps, limes. You can then assemble with the lettuce provided. It's a good portion of starter, and not filling you up before the main course. The foods were good - creamy coconut curry to pour over rice, came with a side of veggies. The noodle dish was prepared gluten-free, it was flavorful and the chicken meat was tender. The portion was generous that we had left over for the next day.

04/18/24 - After a morning of shopping @ Costco we worked up appetite and decided to have some Thai food for a late lunch. My friend and I stopped off at AltThai for lunch in Arlington Heights. The restaurants decor is very nice w/authentic Thai decor. We were greeted & seated and perused the lunch menu. We decided to order a couple of dishes & share family style so we could try a few items. We ordered 2 dishes 1 noodle dish Pad Woon Sen - This came w/the stir fried glass noodles. This dish came w/an option of beef, pork, chicken, or shrimp. We choose the beef w/stir fried vegetables mixed in The second dish had a combination of beef, stir fired vegetables & a ball of white rice. Both of these dishes came w/a small bowl of Panang Curry Soup that was excellent & for me the highlight of the meal. We were also offered a choice of a small cucumber salad in a sweet vinegar that was delicious & 2 small fried dim sum which was very good. This was a very pleasant dining experience w/good company & better than average food & good service.
