Thai Noodles Café — Restaurant in Libertyville

For over 20 years, we have been visiting the Thai Noodle Cafe in Libertyville. Tucked away in a charming two-story house off the bustling Milwaukee Ave, this restaurant holds a special place in our hearts.

The first thing you notice upon entering is the warm and inviting atmosphere. With the dining room situated on the first floor of the little house, it exudes a cozy, homey feel. It's a delightful escape from the outside world, transporting you to a place of comfort and relaxation.

Throughout the years, our favorite dishes have remained consistent. The chicken satay is always a must-order for us, with its perfectly grilled skewers of tender chicken and rich peanut sauce. The Tom Yum soup is another staple that never disappoints, with its aromatic and spicy broth packed with flavorful herbs and fried tofu.

When it comes to main courses, our favorites are the Thai curry and spicy basil chicken. The Thai curry is a delightful medley of flavors, with its creamy and fragrant sauce complemented by tender meat and fresh vegetables. The basil chicken, on the other hand, is a savory and aromatic dish that always hits the spot.

Despite not visiting for a few years, our recent visit to Thai Noodle Cafe was a comforting reminder of why we love this place. Everything tasted just as familiar and delicious as we remembered, and we truly appreciated the consistent quality and taste. It's evident that this is a clean, well-maintained, and family-owned restaurant that takes pride in serving their...

We wanted to carry out and eat at the nearby independence grove, where we found out that the restaurant had given us no cutlery with our meal. When we called to ask why, we were told that they did not give cutlery unless they were asked. Seriously, how can we eat carry out without cutlery? We ended up going back, where we were given exactly 4 napkins (1 for each person; who can eat with 1 single napkin?), and the rest of our cutlery. Our food was abhorrent. The only flavors were sweet or spicy, leaving the food very one dimensional and boring. No other flavors were apparent. For example, the Peanut Sauce over Long noodles were really sweet, but had very little taste and was certainly not worth paying for. The Pad Thai, a dish that is usually very reliable at Thai restaurants, was dry and overly spicy with no other flavors. I should point out that I selected 2 or 3 for spiciness for everything but Peanut Sauce over Long Noodles, for which I selected 4. All in all, I would NEVER recommend this restaurant to...

Sadly, very disappointed. I have frequented this establishment many times, as I am a local. My Doordash order arrived missing a key part of the meal "Rice". I contacted the restaurant, and they agreed 100% that the error was on their part. I appreciate the honesty, however they have absolutely zero ability to fix "Their error", and I was told to contact Doordash for a credit, and reorder the rice. All the while the food's getting colder. I live 10 minutes from this place, and someone could have just run the rice over. Instead I, who am not at fault here, am inconvenienced a second time by having to file for a credit with Doordash (who also was in no way at fault here). My beef here isn't about a $4 box of rice, but rather at Thai Noodles Cafe's lack of customer service to make the situation right. Doordash takes the order, and processes the payment, but ultimately it was Thai Noodles Cafe error. Credits aren't very filling. Oh well there's always Green Basil in Vernon...
