I ordered takeout and said to the lady upon pickup, "It's all in one bag?" When I got home, I was shocked to learn why. Extremely small portions. I paid $29 for 1 crab ragoon, 1 chix fried rice and 1 red curry with shrimp. Food was decent but this place is highway robbery or shall I say "Thaiway robbery." I won't return. Unbelievable.

LOVE THIS SPOT! Great lunch price & awesome waitress. She's always so nice and cheerful. Sometimes it gets crazy busy during lunch but she's always happy!! Wait can be annoying but she does her best. As good as food is, you can't be mad, at least not for me. Don't order Thai spicy if u can't take it! I grew up on these spices so if you're not familiar, get your water ready! Every dish has been great & I'm picky about Thai food as each place makes dishes differently. If you're scared to try new things, stick to noodles. Can never go wrong with that.

This is literally a small family own restaurant. We ordered Take Out for 6 people and they had the food hot and ready within 15 minutes. I read on a lot of the reviews that the portions were small, which for some of the dishes this is true. We had ordered 3 chicken pad thai and 1 beef pad sew wee. The portions of the noodles were packed to the brim. Note that there are 3 levels of seasoning. There is mild, AS, which is American Spicy, and TS which is Thai Spicy. Thai Spicy is super spicy in my personal opinion. Also ordered a Chicken Satay appetizer, Thai spring roll, Thai Egg roll, and Su Mai. They were a good portion for a small appetizer. The Thai ice tea here is definitely a solid choice for beverage. Overall, the experience here was pleasant and will definitely revisit again. The only issue I had with the carry out was that they don't have an updated menu online.

Went for Lunch not sure, maybe I caught them on an off day. But there was nothing really good about this place. We ordered the Pad Thai (this had a good flavor but it was all noodles). The Pad See Ew, was good but the portion was really small, really small. The Bubble tea was a slush, not good! It should be served on the rocks. This made the tapioca hard like rocks.
(2)Debi S.
Hands down, the best Thai food in the area. The food is cooked fresh to order and you never feel like it's been sitting in a pot in the kitchen all day. The service is great and the vegetables are fresh. They ask upfront if you want it mild, medium or hot so there's never a surprise in the amount of heat in your meal.

I went here for lunch and they had one server there but she was totally on it, Their lunch specials are a pretty decent price. It came with a soup, appetizer, and the meal. We had their fresh spring rolls for an appetizer and it was great but I've had better. I had their pad see ewe and my husband had their pad thai. They were both pretty darn good and the best part about it was we were able to order it spicy. I LOVE SPICY FOOD! I thought for a lunch portion was a decent size considering they offered a soup and appetizer with it. I'd definitely go there again.
(4)Chris B.
Really great food. Super fresh and cooked to order. As a group we all tried chicken satay, Vietnamese rolls and cucumber salad as appetizers. All delicious (A) We shared chicken pad Thai (A+ ...outstanding) yellow curry with duck (C) and cashew chicken (B). The pad Thai was American spicy and perfect. The curry was supposed to be Thai spicy, it wasn't spicy at all. Everything came out sporadically. We ordered a coconut (A+), avocado (C) and a pineapple (A+) smoothie with tapioca. Three people running the place on a busy weekend. Just not enough staff. Food was outstanding for the most part. Definitely making a return visit. Very loud, very violent TV show on not too appetizing. Best bet might be take out if you live close.

The pineapple fried rice was the best fried rice I've had! I would have eaten this as an entree, and I liked it more than my pad thai. The rice was a little greasy but not revolting. I loved the chunks of pineapple and roasted cashews that were mixed in. Two of us devoured the container. Chicken pad thai was good, but the chicken was overcooked as it was very dry and chewy. I would definitely get their pad thai again, but maybe without any meat. I ordered all of our dishes as "American spicy." Your spice-level options at Thaiway are: Mild, Medium, American-Spicy, and Thai-Spicy. I do like spicy food, but I am not a thrillseeker. I do not find pleasure in my mouth or lips burning. That being said, the American-spicy was perfect. It was a tad too spicy for me, but I'd recommend this - not Thai-spicy unless it sounds like a fun idea to snort Flamin' Hot Cheetos. We also had crab rangoons. The filling was okay and they were perfectly crispy on the outside. If you have a "take it or leave it" attitude about rangoons, then don't get them. The portion sizes are large. I ate my leftovers for lunch and even then I still had some leftover. My husband finished his but laughed when I told him some people complained about portion sizing. If you've got a huge appetite, I'd suggest ordering an appetizer or rice to share with someone. The one drawback I can think of is that there isn't a menu online. If you aren't familiar with Thai you will need to look at the menu. So when I arrived I grabbed a paper menu and browsed. The lady behind the counter was really friendly and gave me more than enough time to read the menu. After ordering in-person, it only took 10-15 minutes to get our food. I look forward to going back and being a little more daring with my Thai choices, maybe with some of their curries and the spicy basil rice.

The service is usually good, but the last time i went there i wasn't pleased with the service.
(2)Christina J.
Yellow curry that had no heat whatsoever and was on the verge of separating, super dry chicken satay. The bubbly customer service CANNOT make up for the horrible food. The prices weren't crazy but I paid way more than what the food was worth. They need a new chef and/or owner. I'm not going back.
(1)Diocelina G.
Very friendly staff. The dishes are always consistent and everything is extremely fresh and homemade
(4)Rafal K.
I got food to go last evening, soup was tasteless, the meat inside the dumpling tasted bad. I didn't eat much of it. I had basil stir fry chicken, i ended being so sick last night, i had stuff coming out of me both ends for hours, i will never eat there again.
(1)Bronx T.
Average food but what STOOD OUT AND BLEW ME AWAY WAS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE... ..omg...the lady chef even came out and spoke to me for about 15mins for no reason... A++++ for hospitality....
(4)C R.
I went to Thaiway based on the reviews here on Yelp, and had to say I was very disappointed. Maybe I came on a bad day. I ordered the Basil Fried Rice Spicy-American style. First off, there was no spice to this rice. I probably could have gone Thai-Hot and been ok. Granted, I like really spicy food, but this was really mild to be the second from the top in spice level. Secondly, the food had no flavor to it. The basil was chopped super small (it looked like it was dehydrated basil), the egg was barely there, the chicken was overcooked, and the bell peppers lacked taste. If I hadn't known what I ordered, I would have never guessed what it was supposed to be. Unlike some posters stated in the past, I thought the portion sizes were more than adequate. Had I wanted to eat more of it, I would have had more than enough for another meal. Unfortunately, over half of this ended up in the trash.

If you like Thai food that tastes like Thai food then you should come here and order the Thai specialties. My experiences of Thai prior to this was a little hole in the wall in Toledo behind a Thai grocery store (always the best ethnic food places). The menu at Thaiway was comprehensive and included many Thai favorites including satay, tod mun pla, green papaya salad, tom kha, lad nar, pad see oew, pad woon sen. We ordered the tod mun pla (fish cakes) and green papaya salad for the appetizer. I ordered the green papaya salad as Thai spicy and was glad that I did so. The Thai spicy was just hot enough, although I have had hotter it at other places. The tod mun pla were sweet and flavorful with lemongrass. For entree my husband had the pad see ewe American medium and I ordered the Masaman curry at American spicy. The pad see ewe was flavorful but more of a mild than a medium, the curry was tasty but again a little under spiced. I think that in order to appeal to the widest audience they have toned down the spicing considerably (this would be my only complaint) If you are going to eat here and are used to spicy food then order it Thai spicy if you would like some heat to your food. We also ordered Thai iced tea, which was as sweet and flavorful as a good Thai iced tea should be. Overall we were very happy with the experience and will be back again.

Tonight I popped my Thai cherry. I was always put off by the idea, thinking of super hot curry, balut and durian sundaes were the extent of Thai cuisine. Well...I didn't really think that but I almost did. My girlfriend convinced me to try it, so I did. When I try a new food I'll usually dive in head first. I did with this place as well. I went full -Thai and didn't regret it. It was a very tasty and very reasonably priced place. Although they do have some sort of durian drink on the menu. Maybe one day I'll be so brave
(4)Nicole G.
Best Thai restaurant ever. Literally! You won't be disappointed. Pineapple fried rice is the absolute best and the vegetable egg rolls. Love this place so much. Where has it been all my life?! :D
(5)Beautiful B.
Nice restaurant very friendly staff, and very delicious food. There kind of on the expensive side though, but there still extremely affordable.
(4)Sasha H.
I used to love this place!! I'd go in for dinner and get an entree to go also. Sometime around last summer the business acquired new owners and completely changed the recipes of everything. I tried giving it a second chance but I couldn't get past the dramatic downfall the quality of food had taken since the changeover. I definitely will not be going back.
(1)Teri M.
OMG!!! It's about time! Real Thai food and we didn't have to drive into Chicago!! We had tried this restaurant before under it's previous 2 owners and it wasn't very good..BUT NOW! WOW! it's really amazing! and the service is awesome too. We tried many items and everything was very tasty. My husband liked that he could get his Panang really spicy. We will be going back often! This is great place!
(5)Jennifer Q.
This is a great little place that my husband and I have been to and have ordered from in the past. It is never overly crowded so you won't have to wait for a table and the food is excellent. If you like spicy Thai food this is the place for you! When you order and you say spicy they ask you if you want it Thai spicy or American spicy. I like spicy but I'm still too scared to try the Thai spicy because the American is spicy enough for me. The prices are reasonable and you get a good amount of food...more than I can eat most of the time. I would recommend this place to a friend and will definitely go back.
(4)Scott N.
Thaiway is a hidden gem. The owner and waitstaff are very helpful and friendly. We love the Beef Pad See Ew, Lad Nar ordered with crispy noodles and Thai iced coffee. (Our children love the crab rangoon and shrimp appetizer.) I've never had a bad meal here.
(5)Savannah B.
This is one of the best places I've found in the area to get a great vegetarian meal. It's hardly ever been busy while we've been there and service is friendly and fast. My husband always orders "Thai spicy" which is just a tad too spicy for me, so I prefer "American spicy" which is hot but not painful. I've had several curries and noodle dishes and have not been disappointed.
(4)Vany L.
I have been back since my last review in 2011, I think they they had definitely improved to a 5! Love the pad Thai noddles with chicken, I am coming back. Oh BTW the chicken curry is good too.
(5)David G.
Awesome staff. Good portions.
(5)Manda A.
I came here during the evening; the place was clean, and mostly empty. Tried the little spring rolls with the sauce -- they were pretty good. I had the spicy pad thai. The portion was a bit on the small side, and it seemed oily to me -- but it tasted okay. It probably could have done with better garnish (cilantro, crushed peanuts, or lime wedges, something!). I had a Thai iced tea and they overdid it on the spices and sugar in the drink. It could just be a recipe thing, but it was more or less like trying to drink spicy syrup -- not appetizing. I haven't been back since. This might be a place to go to for the lunch special if you have a yen for Thai food, but I just can't recommend this place as being amazing.

This place is in the spot that used to house KT Thai, in front of the Dominicks on Weber. I had to prevent myself from warbling "I did it Thaiiiiii-waaaaay..." as I walked in to meet my friend for dinner. It was pretty quiet since it was a snowy night; only a couple of tables full, and people were keeping their conversations muted, perhaps taking the cue from the soundless flatscreen tv showing the news on one wall. Decor is a little schizo: sherbert-colored walls (lime, lemon and orange) clash with the navy-blue-and-tulips carpet, with some southeast Asian handicraft wall hangings and 3-D flying birds on another wall for flair. The menu has a good array of choices (though they could stand to take more professional pictures for the menu: some didn't make the food look its best), and our friendly waitress was very helpful in discerning what might work for us. For example, my friend was going to order sweet and sour chicken. The waitress let her know that Thai-style sweet and sour is different from the Chinese style that most people are used to and thus may be expecting: it's not breaded, it has a tomato-based sauce and spices. Based on this information, my friend chose a different dish (it would have been helpful if this info was on the menu too). I ordered the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, which comes with onion, cashews, bell peppers, and asked for no tomatoes; the waitress let me know that normally it's stir-fried with a tomato-based sauce (something I've never heard of for fried rice...), so I ordered it without (again, her alertness was appreciated). The fried rice was very tasty, if a bit greasy: a huge mound arrived on the plate, with the added treat of orange and yellow bell peppers, not only the pedestrian green ones. Yum. It's nice that there's another Asian option aside from Chinese (and the pricey Aodake for Japanese) in Romeoville. If I'm down here and hungry, my way is Thaiway.
(3)Timothy L.
Haven't been to this place since it was KT. Big improvement, very, very good food! Tried Pad Thai and Pad Ki Mao. Both were great! Thai spicy level VERY hot! American Spicy still hot but better. Good hot and sour soup. Food is very fresh!!
(5)Michelle K.
Dear Thai Way, Let me start out by saying that I think you're pretty cool. Your waitresses were so friendly! I found your crab rangoon and Thai egg rolls to be delightful, and my family really enjoyed their pad thai, Panang curry, and pad kee mao. A+, kid. Seriously. My pho was a bit heavy on the cloves for my taste (and was that cinnamon? Huh), but I guess I can forgive that because, well, you're a Thai restaurant. I know I shouldn't expect too much of you. You're doing your best. The thing is - oh, dear, this is awkward - when my fam and I came in for dinner last week, you kind of...smelled. Bad. Like, really bad. Like sulphur, or rotten eggs, or backed-up sewage. Don't take it personally, dude! I just thought someone should let you know. My brother assured me that you don't usually smell this way, but it was bad enough that something needed to be said. Well, I guess that's all. Whew! Glad I got that off my chest. Take care, guy. Pals, Michelle

We used to order delivery from this place all the time to the point where I think they knew us by number. The new owners however, stopped doing delivery. I only live a couple minutes away from here but the added inconvenience where there once was none is a little peeving. The food has changed a bit, but not too much. Honestly we only ordered Pad Thai and the little egg rolls so I don't really know anything about their menu overhaul. The food was noticeably different, not bad, but not what we were used to, so it was a little disappointing. It also seems like their portions became a little smaller. There aren't any other good Thai places around here and we love Pad Thai so I'm sure we will still eat there. I hope they still have bubble tea...
(2)Joe M.
Thai Way is about as great as you can get for suburban Thai food. Located off Weber road the location is a bit hidden (turn at the Culver's sign) in a strip mall. From the outside Thai Way doesn't seem too appealing but go inside it's really cute, clean, and everything matches or pertains to a Thai theme. Who cares about all that. It's the food that matters, right? First the appetizers are great, my fiancee always gets the spring rolls which are fresh and accompanied by a peanut sauce. The Curries are wonderful and I highly recommend the Panang Curry with thick noodles (an interesting touch). As with most Asian cuisine your order can be tailored to what you want. The Pad See Ew is delicious and has a mesquite flavor too it. Overall the service is great, the restaurant is clean, and the prices are reasonable. It's not the greatest of all time which is why I'm keeping the 5th star to myself, but this is a repeatable establishment with great Thai for the burbs.
(4)Ursula A.
On occasion I order pick up from Thai Way, I like the Pad See Ew, the Spicy Basil Fried Rice and their bubble teas. The Tom Yum soup is great as well... but I feel it's slightly overpriced, thus 4 stars.
(4)Rachel V.
Simple and tasty are the best words to describe Thaiway. At first glance Thaiway does not look like much, but don't those place always seem to be the best? The lunch specials are extremely reasonable and the service is fast. You get soup, a spring roll or egg roll, and an entree. I recommend the Pad Thai for those who are not familiar with the food.
(4)Tuan N.
Our favorite Thai restaurant around Naperville. My two girls have certain food allergy and they are very accommodating. The waitress remember us and even confirm they allergy with us before placing our orders to the kitchen. Once I had described to them a dish I had in a Thai restaurant in DC and they made it for me. It was great!
(4)Lavada H.
I love this Thai food location. I used to order from Lemongrass in Naperville, and because I live in joliet I thought I would have to travel all the way there. To my pleasant surprise the dish that I normally order was SUPERB here! So I don't have to travel a distance anymore. And their Thai egg rolls are FANTASTIC! I highly recommend Pad Kee Mo. To die for.
(5)Stacey F.
Just had the green curry....Fantastic!
(4)Kelly K.
We USED TO love Thai Way! I am actually eating it right now as I write this, and I had to pause to write a review. I didn't know that there were new owners until I went inside and saw a slight change in the decor, and was also handed a "new" menu. I was immediately frightened and rushed home to try my food. My fears were warranted. Time to find a new Thai place.
(1)Danny C.
Delicious! First time here and it definitely will not be our last. The fortune roll was a great ending to a great meal!
(4)mary d.
Food was delicious! But a bit on the pricey side for take-out. There were only 2 shrimp in my Pad Khee Mao. With a price of $9.99, I would anticipate more than 2 shrimp in the dish. But the flavors were yummy. Taste = 5 stars Price and Value = 2 stars
(3)Windea H.
I have been craving Thai food for weeks and really didn't want to go to the city to get it. Then I found Thai Way. I tried the pad thai which was actually pretty good. I had prepared myself for the worst and was pleasantly surprised. I will definatley return. It's about time we had some Thai food in Romeoville.
(4)Nick S.
I have come to learn that this particular unit is destined for poor quality Thai food. I've tried KT Thai (the preceding) restaurant and that was mediocre and I thought that possibly a new place would be better... I was horribly mistaken. This is as far away from authentic as possible, and I would know - I was raised on southeast Asian regional cuisine. I ordered their Tod Mun Pla (fish cakes) for the price they weren't worth it. They were quarter sized which also means that they weren't freshly prepped. Instead it was a frozen product that was used. The dipping sauce wasn't even good and it's kind of sad when you can even get sauce right. I also ordered their Pad Krapow with pork. Thinking about this particular dish brings so much disdain. First off the portion that was given is ludicrous. For the price I was charged I expected it to feed at least 2 people. Their butchering skills are that of a little kid who went to town on a slab of meat. Due to the varying sizes of the meat some pieces were cooked more than others. I wish I could tell you how it tasted but I can't because SALT was the dominant flavor profile here. Not to mention the 'juice' from the stirfry was black in color (?!?). Also it was extremely watery. They also stirfried it with random vegetables that aren't suited for this dish. Because of the way the dish turned out, I'm led to believe that they didn't use proper stirfrying techique because everything appeared to be boiled which would explain the bounty of watery juice since nothing got a proper flash fry sear. I rarely try Pad Thai at other restaurants just because it isn't something I find necessary since it's easily accessible at home .. But this restaurant boasts their Pad Thai as the "best in town". They boast a lot of things like Deep Fried Twinkies .. Maybe that should have been my warning sign. Between the uninspiring decor and poor quality of the food, Thaiway will not receive patronage from me. Oh and don't bother trying to call the manager if something goes awry, they don't follow up on their customers!
(1)Liz F.
I stopped in here on my way home from work to give it a try. It was great! I had the chicken Pad Thai and a lychee smoothie. The Pad Thai was really good and it was quite a large serving. The smoothie was very tasty. I would definitely recommend Thai Way!
(5)Tomasz B.
Very tasty food with plenty of lunch special variety. Portions are generous.
(5)Karen S.
I went to this place about a month ago, and I am just now getting around to leaving a review. This little place is great. I called ahead, and ordered the Pad Thai - one with pork and one with chicken. When I got there to pick it up I noticed that they had a nice bar set up where they do bubble teas, and they had tons of flavors to choose from. I had to get 2 of them. I couldn't resist! This was my boyfriend's 1st time trying thai food, and he loved it. I have tried Pad Thai many times, and this was very good. They also give you a nice sized portion. We will back here for sure! They do tables inside, so it's not just a take out place.
(4)Heather H.
I just tried the food since the new owners, it was not good at all. I will not be going back, they lost a very loyal customer.
