Mama Thai — Restaurant in Oak Park

One of their signature dishes the duck is disgusting along with the so-called Special Sauce it's disgusting as well to say the least. Also the complimentary egg rolls with a $30 cash purchase is the other joke it's disgusting no flavor. No authentic music in the background it's just dead there it's so boring and the atmosphere is just depressing to say the least. The staff are not friendly the main girl up front only cares about money and it's just not good authentic food at all. The staff needs to go to Thailand and relearn how to make proper Thai food they are a disgrace to the Thai population and cater to people that don't know optimal taste obviously. The curry is not even good at all and lacks flavor the catfish is supposed to be another delicacy that unfortunately was another disappointment! I am warning you not to go here and to go somewhere else to your research accordingly and do not spend your hard-earned money here this place is a joke and nothing is authentic or tasteful...

UPDATE: Its been over a year since writing my review of Mama Thai, so I thought an update would be good. I just had the Crab Rangoon/ Golden Crab again, and I'm amazed at how good it is. The wontons are crispy, not burnt or soggy, there's an over abundance of crab filling, and the sauce they have is the best I've had. It is still as delicious as it was the first time I ate it. Oh the the rest of the food is damn good as.

ORIGINAL REVIEW

I've been eating here for almost 10 years. It was the first Thai restaurant I visited when we moved to the area, and still one of my 2 favorites near me.

The food is always delicious, whether eating in or takeout. Their Crab Rangoon is my family's favorite of all time. It's the right amount of crispy to filling and the dipping sauce I could just drink straight! I go for the pad Thai sometimes, and the Curry's the rest of the time. I had the curry fried rice a couple of times and it was excellent. All in all a great place for...

Service was good and the lunch special was very reasonably priced. This was my first time having Thai food and I’m not sure if this place stays true to the traditional flavors but it was way too sweet for my taste. The crab Rangoon was the best thing for me but the flavorless watercress made for an undesirable texture and the sweetness of the filling and sauce combined was more than needed. The Tom Yum soup was very good. It had a spicy and sweet feel to it that I enjoyed. Unfortunately I was very disappointed by the pad Thai, which I was really looking forward to. The only image it put in my head was noddles covered in sugar. There were no another flavors whatsoever. This made it very difficult to enjoy, especially since all of the previous dishes also had a strong taste of sweetness . Hopefully this isn’t what all Thai food taste like because I’m very disappointed on...
