Bangkok Belly Des Plaines — Restaurant in Maine Township

Came here for lunch. This is my first time dining since the current owners came in a few years ago and put the focus to be exclusively on Thai dishes.

The strip mall the restaurant is in has limited parking, which can make things a bit of a challenge. If you are bringing multiple people, be sure to carpool!

I started with egg rolls and was very pleased by how hot, crisp and fresh they were when they arrived at my table. Excellent dipping sauce and with six there would have been plenty to share. My entree was the green chili with beef, shrimp and chicken. I asked for medium spicy. The plate was generously sized and I ended up taking at least a third of it with me as leftovers. Excellent dish, and just the amount of heat I enjoy in my food!

The couple that owns this restaurant are very attentive to their customers and genuinely enjoy cooking for everyone who stops in. They recognized one gent who arrived during my meal and called him by name! Now that I work in the area I believe I will become a...

Found this place with on Groupon. I though it was going to be a hidden gem for sushi, boy was i wrong. It was a hole in the wall. Most hole in the wall places are great because they concentrate on the food more than the decor, but not so much with sushi places. After i saw the place i should have left but nope. I wanted to give the place a shot. The place was empty i was the only customer there. That should have raise a red flag. The waitress was there seem like i was bothering her in coming in and giving them business! I order a few different rolls to try the place out. For me being the only person there it sure did take a long time to get my food. I don't know which roll was the one that gave me food poisoning. But needless to say i WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. Worst sushi place in the Chicago-land area. Since i love sushi i love to try new place from Downtown to Naperville to Schaumburg to Wilmette and everything in between. Hope you don't get sick from eating here. Learn from...

I know this will spark debate, but I wanted to try pineapple with my fried rice, so that's what I did. The flavor of the dish is spot on; it has savory notes from the curry powder, sweetness from the pineapple, and nice, but there is a few aspect of it that I don't enjoy. The pork and chicken were dry and difficult to eat. I just hope I don't get sick because of the one piece of pork that had a sour aftertaste. The pineapple was undoubtedly canned because some of the slices had a strange flavor and some were sweet.

Their dessert, which came in two portions of banana sticky rice, is the one thing I enjoy eating. It's a simple but tasty dish made of sticky rice with a fresh banana filling and wrapped in a banana leaves. The sticky rice was fragile and gooey at the same time. The banana filling was tender; it also had an undertone of sweetness. The texture of the bean is...
