Chai Yo Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Proviso Township

We have eaten in and ordered carry out many times here for years. Last dine in experience was very off. Upon entry at around 6 pm we were the only ones in restaurant and seated ourselves. We were not greeted and waited for about 10 minutes when we were abruptly handed menus. I asked when they had done some renovations, as the booths by window had been replaced with a table and decor was different, and to let server/owner know we had been there before. Was told "I don't know", and he walked away. We found the entire interaction odd. Grated, I had not dined in there for a while, but I am pretty sure it was the owner so how could he know nothing about the renovations?

We did receive water and our order was taken some time later. The salad arrived hot, with crisp fresh veggies, and tasty (tho portions a bit smaller than before). Before we finished the salad our entrees were plopped on the table. Sometime after we received the check on a tray with a short "pay at the counter", then retreat.

I paid, and left a tip. On the way out, still no more dine customers, we said thanks and again got no acknowledgement, after which we said food was good but the service was pretty lousy. Still no response.

I am hoping the place/owner might just have been having a bad day. If this has been our first experience there, we would never have gone back. Perhaps they prefer just doing...

Well the place I must say is very clean. The food was yummy but me and my children got food poisoning and today we are really paying for it. My daughter woke up screaming her stomach hurts. I thought she was being very dramatic then she started throwing up and and going to the bathroom. Then about an hour later I started feeling the same symptoms and then our youngest the 20 month old started going to the bathroom. Not sure what was in the food that made us sick because this is the only meal that we shared the same yesterday and really over the past few days because I don't eat meat and my family does. We had shrimp thai rice and the egg rolls. It was either the egg rolls or the rice because my children didn't eat the shrimp. I mean again the food was yummy so if you go here go at your own risk but yeah I won't be back. This was our first and last time here. She had to miss school today and my husband will probably have to leave work early depending on how this pain...

I've been coming here for years! They have a sign that says they have the best Pad Thai, and they truly do. I brought a friend there who has spent a lot of time in Thailand and she was actually surprised that the food is comparable. I normally have the Pad See Eiw, and that is great too. I also always get their Thai Iced Tea and their Thom Kha Kai soup is my favorite. My only issue is when I order To Go or Uber Eats, it doesn't taste the same packed up. So I highly recommend eating at the restaurant. It's not typically that busy, which shocks me, but at least you won't have to worry about getting seated right away. I'm sure you...
