Amazing little spot I would've never found without the help of yelp!!! My girlfriend and I shared the tofu yellow curry dish and the vegetable pad tsi yew (sp) Very delicious and satisfying!!

I had a work victory to celebrate, and my husband decided thai food would be a good way to end the evening. The restaurant we initially intended on eating at was closing soon, so we yelped it up & found Montri Thai. Located in a large strip mall in Winfield, IL it looks pretty simple on the outside. Once you get inside, however, it almost feels like you are at a restaurant near a tourist spot with soft music playing in the background. We went on a Friday evening around 8:30pm, and the restaurant was on the empty side. We were seated promptly and given menus to look over. I almost always order the Pad Kee Mao (spicy flat rice noodles) when I first visit a Thai spot. My husband ordered a curry dish (Coconut Yellow Curry?). My food overall was pretty decent. A little greasy for my taste, but definitely not overly oily to the point where I can't enjoy my food. The curry dish was delicious! Our server was friendly and pleasant which enhanced our experience a bit more. We look forward to trying out some of the other dishes Montri Thai has to offer soon.

First time here, and wow! Went in for lunch and ordered pad thai and cashew chicken. The soup was yummy and spring rolls and egg rolls. We ordered the infamous avocado spring rolls, which were just okay. Nothing special. I probably would have preferred regular shrimp spring rolls. Overall, everything had a lot of flavor and I couldn't stop eating until there was nothing left. Would love to go back and try something more adventurous like curry or something different. So far, so good.

Welcome to the second non-chain restaurant in the Naperville area I will actually be glad to spend my money at! This place blows my mind; a complete hidden gem. From the outside, this place is nothing special and barely noticeable. I think this is what also makes this place great. You walk in, the ambiance is cozy and chic. It's not too big but not too small. My friend and I were promptly seated and offered drinks. Our waitress was awesome and funny. I ordered two things I don't quite remember the names of (see pictures) but I was so impressed by the portion and the quality. Even though there was larger portions, they don't skimp on the veggies or meat. It's loaded with deliciousness! Oh, and just like everyone says, the avacado rolls are to die for. Literally, die for them. They're amazing. Oh and something else to mention, they have free Jazz music the first Friday of the month! How cool is that?! I foresee myself making this place my new go to carry out Thai place. It's awesome, and I can't wait until I can go again.

Good and tasty food at a reasonable price. Good for dinner and their staffs are nice too.
(4)Tim R.
Third visit and this place is 3 for 3 for me. Very good service and I love the spicy catfish. Also great Tom ka gai soup and satay. Aces.
(5)Krysten O.
Super good food. Lovely live band on Friday. Reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere. Definitely will come back again when I'm in the area!

Just moving to this neighborhood, and my husband and I went to this restaurant after reading all these positive reviews. However, I was so disappointed with the food and service here. I ordered Tom yum and pad see Wei. Unlike all the Tom yum I tasted before, it is too sweet and not really spicy. My husband ordered Panang curry, and this is the only dish he eat every time when we go to a Thai restaurant, but it is too salty. I think I just order some common dishes that you can find almost in every Thai restaurant. But this time is the worst.
(1)Sharon S.
This place is wonderful and I'm grateful it's close as well! We ordered the chicken pot stickers, they came fried with a sweet dipping sauce. Hubs ordered the cashew chicken, he said it was pretty good, average. I had the Pad Kheemao, it was advertised as spicy but I was fibbed to. I enjoyed the fatty flat noodles! Overall, we were pleased :-)
(5)Emily E.
Whenever we had guests in Warrenville and we wanted to take them to out to eat nearby, this was one of our go to places. Compared to the food quality of most other places in Warrenville this place is a godsend. Even if they were surrounded with better competition, their food is well made and reliably tastes good. I was always happy with what I ordered and greedily finished my leftovers at home.
(5)Yoshio A.
I ordered chicken satay appetizzer and had the Bangkok duck. The portion sizes were very large. The Bangkok duck was a half a fried duck on a bed of fried rice. Even the appetizzer had large pieces of chicken. Taste was pretty good. The duck was fried and some was hard to eat since the breading or whatnot was extremely tough. The prices are about average for dinner and not too expensive. I think my appetizzer was around $6 and my entree was around $18. Service was fine with no issues. Overall, a good place where I'd come back.
(4)Sangeeta W.
I was looking forward to the food here due to all the reviews, but was disappointed. The food is just okay, nothing special. Soups were too sweet, pad thai and fried rice were just okay too, won't come back.
(1)Bamba B.
So far this is the best Thai restaurant... I live in Indiana and haven't find any good Thai restaurant there... Their chicken Satay and VIETNAMESE shrimp spring rolls are really delicious .... If you are a seafood lover try their sea bass, it's the best...
(5)Kay W.
Best Thai food I've found around the suburbs. I have not been disappointed in a dish yet! I recommend the Thai fried rice, any basil dish, Coco Chicken, Avocado rolls, Egg rolls, Spring Rolls, and their dipping sauces are delicious! Only iffy dish we've come across was the dry duck my boyfriend once ordered. I would give it a try again though, might have been an off night.
(5)Misty S.
I had high hopes for this restaurant because of all the great reviewed. And I supposed you can't please everyone's taste buds and unfortunately, my taste buds were not a fan. Everything else was great, and I would certainly come back to try other dishes. The décor is modern and nice. The service is fast and friendly. The owner even came over at the end of our meal to ask how everything was and solicit any feedback we may have. He also mentioned that they will have a live Jazz band one Friday a month starting in a couple of months. Thai Iceed Tea $3 - This was very good, not too sweet at all (in fact, I could go a tad sweeter). Tom Kha Kai $5 - Thai coconut milk soup with your choice of chicken or vegetable cooked with lemongrass, bell pepper, mushroom and lime leave. This was a tasty soup, but what threw me off were the pieces of green bell peppers. I love veggies, but this is one of my least favorite vegetables. I've never had that in a Tom Kha before. Lard Nar with Tofu $9 - Big flat rice noodle with Broccoli and Collard Greens in garlic gravy. They made this with a very strange twist - the noodles were crispy and the sauce was watery. Maybe this is the fusion part. I was expecting the normal soft wide rice noodles with thick sauce and didn't particularly enjoy this variation. Also, I didn't see any collard greens. Spicy Catfish $14 - Deep fried crispy catfish with red curry paste in coconut milk, topped with a touch of crispy basil leave. My favorite dish of the night and it was delicious. There were plenty of food, which we took home as leftovers. I was particularly touched that even though we only had a tablespoonful of rice left, they had packed us more rice to go with our leftovers.
(3)Zachary O.
I lived in Thailand for a while so I am a bit biased as to what good Thai food is. Montri Thai does it's best to bring Thai food to the states and it succeeds. Their curry in particular is fantastic. I also like how they have Jazz nights the first Friday of every month. It adds that extra cool factor that makes this place even better.
(5)Kim C.
This was my first visit here and it was outstanding. The service was very good the food was great. I had the Vietnamese Rolls and they were great with the spicy peanut sauce. I had the Tom Yum soup and it too was very good, not too spicy and not to boring. For my main course the Pad Kee Mao and it was also over the top. So knock your selves out..
(5)Damien E.
I'm really confused about all the good reviews about this place. I have been to Thailand, know the food and even speak it. We ordered some very basic carry out and it was mediocre at best. The pad Thai was tasteless as was the fried rice. Real Thai food uses fish sauce. Especially in pad Thai and fried rice. I don't understand Thai restaurants owned by Thai people that have lousy food, especially to a culture where food is so important. This did not have that Thai flavor. Crab Rangoon (which isn't Thai but who cares) was ok. I normally get joy Yees but they are temporarily closed. I will not order from here again. If you're reading this and are Thai, the food is "juhd cheep-hai"! Which in Thai means bland as hell. Skip it

This review was intended for Reserve 22, Glen Ellyn, and posted here in error. We visited Reserve 22, at Village Links, on a Fri nite in May '15. The place was already very busy at 7, not so much with golfers coming off the links, but with diners who made "22" their target for the evening. A loud boisterous crowd filled the dining room, the large bar, and most of the terrace. Video screens covered sports of the day. Service was very attentive, and there was plenty of staff to handle the large crowd as well as keep problems down and service up. "22" is not the usual clubhouse dining. A long list of craft and specialty beers, and wines, are offered. They do have typical soup/salad/sandwich menus, but also an interesting list of small plates and sides, from $3 to about $15. A limited list of plate dinners ran mostly below $20. We had chicken linguini w/artichokes and bistro steak w/truffle/parmigiana fries. The steak was no filet but was well prepared and nicely dressed with a savory, slightly tangy sauce. The fries were to die for! I devoured the whole mountain of them. The chicken pasta, a large serving, was very good and included several dried tomato slices. Sides are extra. The noisy crowd diminished about 9PM and management went to great efforts to move the band, and pull out some tables, for those who stayed for the entertainment and dancing until 11. While not gourmet dining (3*), and the noise is not our thing, prices are modest, the food offerings are creative, the mood is up-beat, and service very attentive (management gets a 5*). A good value and fun place. Res. recommended.
(3)Angela P.
Shrimp Pad Thai = GOOD! The portion I was served felt endless, and there were plenty of perfectly cooked shrimp. I asked for "spicy," and my dish absolutely was spicy without blowing my head off. But don't eat those little red chilies in the dish, because those will make your mouth hurt. I mistook them for a dried fruit, but I have no idea why I assumed something so ridiculous, so my mouth suffered a little. The avocado rolls were interesting. I liked the creaminess of the avocado and the crunchiness of the roll. But it kind of tasted like guacamole which threw off the whole Thai thing. Our friends ordered the Angel Wings appetizer, which looked like a giant stuffed chicken leg and deep fried. I didn't get to try it, but it looked delicious. There's a good variety of Thai dishes on the menu aside from the predictable Pad Thai including red, yellow, and green curries, and quite frankly a lot of other things I cannot recall much less pronounce (Pad See Ew, Kung...tingtangwallawallabingbang...) Montri Thai is located in a strip mall, alongside a laundromat and thrift store, so I expected a more divey, casual joint. While Montri Thai is casual, the interior of the restaurant felt intimate and classy with the dark wood tables, booths, and white tablecloths. The restaurant can definitely accomodate groups, but it was so quiet in here (aside from the Christmas music) that I felt like I had to keep my voice down. Good Thai food especially if you are looking for something a bit more upscale than the divey take-out joints.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally, great Thai close to home! I have been dying for some great Thai food ever since I ate at Banana Leaf in Dallas and remembered just how great Thai food could be. (amazingly the owner there looked Thai, but had a thick Cajun accent) Seriously, we eat Thai food a couple of times a month and have been making do with food that is just OK and creeping up in price. Many of these Thai places don't even serve much seafood... What's up with that? Montri Thai has a full menu with all the right stuff. We started with the Avocado rolls and Chicken Satay... followed by Pad See Ew with Beef, Tofu Thai Fried Rice, Thai Orange Chicken and Panang Curry. Everything was delicious! The Panang Curry is a real treat and the Satay is the best that I've had in a long time (looking forward to trying the pork satay) I can't wait to get back there to try the whole red snapper and some of the other seafood dishes. Now there is more to eat in Warrenville than just Two Brothers. Good prices, a nice room, decent wine list, friendly service and great food... an awesome formula for success. Now if only they could work on their Cajun accents
(5)Jiranuch R.
When it comes to Thai food I am very picky about how it tastes, I have to tell you that Montri Thai is one of my favorite Americanized Thai restaurant. The food is great, the staffs are super friendly and their drinks are good. I'm from the city but every time I go visit my friends in Warrenville, I often stop by to grab some bites here.
(5)Radford R.
I really like this place and every time I go here I say to myself why did I wait so long to come back. To start I absolutely love the Duck Basil Salad with fresh Mango pieces and the sauce is phenomenal!! Everything here is so fresh and I always leave here feeling like my taste buds were delighted and I really ate a good healthy meal. I have tried so many things on this menu and I have never been disappointed and will be back soon.
(5)Eldho S.
We went to this restaurant after reading the positive review. But actually we didn't like it there. Ordered the Montri Starters platter, Tom Yum chicken soup and Pad Kee Mai. The platter was Good. Tom yum was good, but it was totally different from what I used to have. We didn't like the Pad Kee Mai, it had too much salty. I don't know if its just our bad luck. But we wont be going again.
(3)Gary D.
Great value for a delicious meal. Service was very friendly & timely. Nice decor for a strip mall location. We'll be back!
(4)Julianne C.
I really like this Thai restaurant. The waitress was really nice, and cared to check that the spice level was perfect. The spice level was perfect. The ingredients are fresh and the food is delicious. I feel like driving there now and getting some crab rangoons and pad ke mao.
(5)S M.
This place has very good Thai food. The red curry chicken was really delicious & perfect for a cold day! So smooth like a lobster bisque. My hubby had appetizers for dinner- the crispy crab rangoons w/ an excellent sauce- a must order! The chicken satay had large pieces of chicken & the spicy beef salad was super spicy & good. We are definitely coming back to try more things & enjoy jazz night on 1st Fridays. Update- We visited again for Jazz night. Our waitress was really nice & let us stay to listen to the band. No rushing you out which was great. We tried the shrimp cargot w/ green curry & coconut milk. It was delish! Also tried the spicy basil chicken could have been spicier, but it was good.
(4)Jeff K.
Well since I've been looking to try a Thai place in my neighborhood, and this place was new with lots of positive reviews...I thought I'd give them a try. It started first with us walking in...and not be acknowledged. no sign saying to seat yourself, or wait to be seated. We had to go and find someone to ask. We placed our order and asked for 2 sodas. We waited and waited. 15 minutes passed and the waitress never brought our drinks, or even stopped by. 20 minutes passes and nothing. The restaurant wasn't even that busy. It seemed that almost everybody was waiting for food. Even people for carry out waited much longer than what seemed necessary. After 30 minutes with no visit from the waitress, no comment that they might have been short-handed, or anything...we finally just walked out and left. Prior to walking out, I noticed a couple behind us almost walked out as well. If you have all night to wait for dinner...this might be the place for you. The only positive thing worth mentioning is the place has a nice decor. If I could give zero stars for this place, I would, but they get one by default.
(1)Rory M.
The lunch specials are a great deal and come with soup and an appetizer. The service is friendly and attentive. I'm not sure why this place isn't packed with customers at lunch.
(4)Kelsey K.
My husband and I got delivery from this place late on a Friday after moving in to our new house. The food was fantastic! The drive went to the wrong address, but everything still came very hot, which was great because we don't have a microwave yet :). The portions were much larger than I expected. We had a dish with wide flat rice noodles and they tasted like they were homemade, although I don't know for sure. Everything was delicious. I ordered kind of at random and was extremely pleased with everything. I am very happy to be living a quarter mile from this restaurant :)
(5)Jon E.
After moving back to the area from Providence RI (shout out to Apsara! Super yummy Asian place), I needed a new go-to. Hands down, this is it. Whether it's break ups, work stress, or something else, their cocktails are excellent (both in liquor content and price) and their Rama Chicken makes everything temporarily better. The Rama Tofu isn't bad either. It's large enough that if you pick at your food and have a liquid dinner when stressed, the food still tastes good microwaved the next day. It's true, hardly anybody dines in. Which makes it perfect to talk to the servers. My favorite is on maternity leave but I've since become Facebook friends with her. Yes, this place is that amazing. Everyone else's reviews are true: great avocado rolls, good curry, good prices.
(5)Hang Y.
HOW you guys can even give FIVE stars ? This is a Thai restaurant and all Thai flavor sucks. I decided to give a shot because of the reviews but I was so mad with every single dish. It is the worst Thai restaurant ever. They can even cook a simple curry normally! Even the Tom yum soap! Do you think people don't know Thai food! You can buy the Thai curry from a Asian supermarket it is way much better than this! When I walked into the restaurant I'm glad because the waitress are Thai people but when I eat I got so confused. WHAT THE HL is dat! I have been Thailand and I eat a lot Thai food in U.S. But this is so bad can you Thai guys try yourself? HOW you can sell this and it is not cheap. At least you guys should give some real Thai rice because it is famous and normal in Thai food; HOWEVER! The rice is so sticky and slagging I'm sure it is the same rice like super cheap Asian fast food rice. Well, anyone who give 5 stars I hope you guys enjoy. Im would be glad my review could help someone or maybe just one person who gonna try this restaurant. If you think I'm wrong go Assi market or Amazone to get the can curry, drop some beef, bell pepper, and coco milk, then try their curry . You will see.
(1)Gary O.
In our family we debate about the best Thai food in the area. We love Thai and it often. I honesty think that Montri has the best Thai in the area. At Montri Thai, we love the Grilled Spicy Beef as an appetizer. You can't go wrong with the Basil Fried Rice and the Spicy Chicken with Basil Leaves. The staff is always friendly and very attentive.
(5)Ella K.
Came here for the first time because my coworker invited me for lunch since we both love thai food. Although I was craving the panang curry bc of its great reviews, I got the curry fried rice. This came on their lunch special with soup and an egg roll, a great deal! The curry fried rice was delicious! Not much to it but it was full of flavor and a good amount of food for a lunch portion. Definitely will be coming here again to try all the other curry dishes.
(4)Jayaraman B.
Writing this review after trying other thai food places in Naperville. Montri Thai stands a class above local thai restaurants. Been here for around 5 times now. We usually order PadKeeMao, Pad thai, Panang curry and the Basil Fried rice. They have a good sausy taste to the PadKee Mao, and the portions they serve are more than enough every time. The fried rice have a good flavor and taste.
(4)Hohan H.
Its been 5 months, a few times a month, and can I say "I love montri!". They are very consistent and so yummy. Here's our Favorites: seafood panang - yummy creamy red curry with seafood, cashew chicken -super delicious! we also ALWAYS get the calamari and now I just tried the vegetable tempura -I liked it a lot. Ive tried all the red curries and two months ago I got seafood the seafood panang, never trying anything else again - its a winner! its always take-out for us.
(5)Lisa Y.
My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out based on other yelp reviews. Ordered the avocado lovers roll as an appetizer which was pretty good.. Like a crispy spring roll filled with guac served with a dipping sauce. For our entrees we had the panang curry with chicken and tofu and the green curry with chicken. Both were flavorful and delicious!! Some of the best I've had in the Chicagoland area. The green curry was creamy coconutty goodness with thinly sliced bamboo shoots, peas, and peppers. Both dishes also had just the right amount of heat to balance out the sweet and creamy. So so good. We were stuffed but had to try out the mango sticky rice for dessert since everything else we had ordered was so authentic and tasty. I'm glad we did because it didn't disappoint! Left happy and stuffed.
(5)Anuj S.
I went to Montri with a large group recently and the overall reviews from everyone were mixed. What I know is, whatever food I tried was good so I'm going to give Montri the benefit of the doubt here. Really the two major issues were that the service was really slow. We waited a LONG time just to get our appetizers like avocado rolls and soup. That was excessive, but again maybe the issue was the size of our group, 8 adults and 6 kids. The other issue my friends complained about was the sweetness of the food. Many entrees came out quite sweet, which wasn't ideal. I tried a couple of things. First off, the avocado rolls were great. Almost like a Tex/Mex-Asian fusion thing going on. Really nice. On the other hand, the Tom Kha soup was... not what I expected. Not that it was bad, but it just didn't taste like the Tom Kha soup I have almost everywhere else. I'm all for unique flavors, but this just seemed like a whole different kind of soup. Really, the soup was my only complaint. The red curry was great and the Pad Kee Mao was good. I think we could and should have upped the spice levels on everything we ordered. Adding in the hot sauce provided the heat we needed. I would recommend Montri. I would come back and give them another shot in terms of the service assuming part of the issues were just due to our group size. We'll hope for a better experience next time.
(4)Brian G.
I'm usually skeptical of good thai food out in the suburbs as I have a city kid bias but this place was excellent! The menu selection was extensive (not just your typical pad thai etc.) The mango lobster roll appetizers were great but keep in mind they are spring rolls. For some reason I was anticipating something more like an egg roll but that was my own fault for not reading the description well enough. The food had good flavor and the ingredients tasted fresh. Restaurant itself is clean and decorated nicely.
(5)Andrew P.
The Angel Wings were very excellent.. I would get it again. The employees were very nice.
(4)Mark B.
Fantastic soup. The egg roll and ginger chicken were phenomenal with plenty 'o fresh ginger. Relaxing and quiet for a nice break from your day. Very funny Asian Madonna music adds to the feel in some quirky way. 7.95 lunch special well worth it.
(5)T M.
Have gone twice in the last two weeks and both times the food was great. I would defiantly recommend and be back again.
(4)Jon F.
Very cool little place. If you had any question about it - the service is TOP NOTCH! We arrived hoping to finish dinner by the closing time we thought was 9 (actually 10) on a Friday. The place wasn't too full, but the decor and setup is very clean and modern while still being comfy. We took a bit of extra time to order since we wanted to scan the whole menu to see what they had to offer, and the waitress was extremely polite and not bugging us, but attentive none the less. We ordered some Thai Tea that really stuck to your gums. The very good flavor hung around in your mouth if you let it. Then we decided on some Tom Kha Kai which came in a plenty large enough bowl to share (but not too large as to leave you groaning). The flavor was very good but there was an interesting aspect - bell peppers. It wasn't bad, but it was unfamiliar for the dish (as well as a couple of others). Probably just something to get used to. We also had the Pad See Eiw which was delicious, but the noodles may have been fried too much (unless they started with a different wide noodle than I'm used to) as they were a bit too hard to cut with a fork and or spoon. We commented to the waiter and he said he would tell the chef and thanked us for our opinion. The dish also had broccoli instead of collard greens, but the flavor was great either way. The other dish we ordered was the spicy catfish. It was a very good mixture of red curry and coconut milk with a spice that I thought I was going to need to spice up at first, but set in to the perfect cruise to spice town. When the waiter went to wrap up our food he noticed that we did not have much rice and, without asking, packed a nice, full extra container for us to take. Awesome! I really liked the lounge-style oldies that were playing the whole time we were there (Beatles, Doors, Steely Dan, etc) and the waiter also noted that they will be featuring live jazz once a month (2nd Friday?) and possibly more often if it is popular. Cool stuff!

I finally tried a different Thai place for the very first time! (I normally go to Tusk Thai in Batavia) So I work in Warrenville and came across this place online when searching for a nearby Thai restaurant. I stuck to what I know best which is why I ordered Thai fried rice with chicken. The chicken was very flavorful and delicious! Definitely exceeded my expectations! Now the rice on the other hand didn't. I'm not sure what ingredient they used too much of but the taste reminded me a lot of the $1 Michelina's boxed frozen fried rice which I do not like. Price for my order was about $10 and it was a good size portion if only I had liked the flavor more. I just admit I was a tad bit disappointed that it was not as good as my favorite Thai restaurant.
(3)Natanun E.
Awesome dinner tonight. Our first time at this place. We had shrimp cargot (a must try), spring roll, avocado lovers roll (another must try), pot stickers, pad thai woonsen, pad lard na. Everthing was very fresh and delicious. We also heard that they have live jazz performance first Friday each Month. We will be going back to check that out.
(5)Genni O.
After hearing the glowing reviews on this place coupled with the fact that I have found no good thai in the western suburbs, I decided to roll the dice. Called in a pick-up order and was bringing food back to some friends who own a nearby business. Upon arriving, I liked the interior and the people were friendly, but when I got the food back, I was shocked to see what was being portrayed as thai food. Got a few noodle dishes and a bunch of apps. NONE was good and none was remotely close to authentic. One step up from food court sweet and sour chicken at the mall really. Ask for spicy, and you get a 1/2 cup of red pepper flakes thrown in at the end type of crap - and the crazy thing is that people like this junk. Needness to say, I'm still looking for the elusive (and even edible) suburban thai food.
(1)Dave S.
Truly some of the best Thai food in the area. Unassuming location but don't let that fool you. They do not skimp on the flavor. Try the Panang Curry it's the best around. Good lunch specials also. Can't go wrong here.
(4)Hayley H.
I love Thai food. I had been only frequenting Bangkok in Naperville, but ventured outside my comfort zone to this gem. Their pad Thai is the best in the area. Hands down. Their avocado rolls are amazing good. Creamy and crunchy and worth the order. We even had potstickers which were good, though, a bit doughy for my taste. Friendly service, beautiful space. Go! Eat! Be transported to overeating land!
(5)Paul M.
Wow this place has the best chicken pot stickers and Thier red curry is awesome even tho it had apply yes apples surprised twas still gud.
(5)Poonam M.
Delicious food, great service and lovely ambiance! The Avocado Lovers Roll were just amazing and the Panang Curry was too good! We went on Friday night and they had some live music too! It was bit loud maybe bcoz the place is small. But overall experience was good! Would recommend and definitely come back.
(4)E K.
Food is good. Restaurant service was horrible the last time. Delivery the last few times has given much smaller portion sizes for the same price. I will not be returning.
(1)Kay C.
Excellent restaurant! Love their pot stickers, pad Thai and Panang curry. Everything was delicious! Great service too! I highly recommend it. I would love to try their lunch to get a variety but I have my favorites so I tend to order the same things...
(4)Jessica D.
Who would have thought you would find awesome Thai in a strip mall in Warrenville? I have never had a bad item here. The Pad Thai is the best I've had and comes with generous chunks of chicken, beef, or tofu. The pot stickers and steamed shumai are a great way to start a meal there. They have an awesome weekday lunch special where you get an entree, an appetizer, and a soup for less than $10. The decor is lacking and somewhat dated and the liquor selection is nothing to write home about, but you come here for the awesome food first.
(5)Jiggy G.
The lobster and shrimp dish is fabulous! Soft shell crab app is perfect! Service was perfect! Cocktails were tasty! We will be regulars.
(5)Shannon M.
There used to be another Thai restaurant (Ariya) in this space that was only so-so, and so when we got to this location (flying blind after reading the excellent reviews here at yelp), my friend insisted that we'd been there before, but I said no (I'd written no review for Montri, after all!) At any rate, we went in to dine. Yelp, I hate to be the dissenter but I fear that I must say that Montri is carrying on Ariya's mediocre tradition. Why? Due to pretty much everything we ordered. For an appetizer we split the Blue Sea Crispy Rolls. For a dish that claimed to contain a combo of lobster, crab, shrimp, and scallop along with carrot, cabbage and bean threads, I have to say that the seafood was almost undetectable. The taste wasn't bad for what it was, but what it was was pretty much a deep-fried veggie roll. For our entrees he ordered the sweet almond beef and I got the mussaman curry with chicken. Mine came in a large ceramic cauldron, a heady broth of coconut milk bobbing with potatoes and chunks of pineapple; I fished around with the serving spoon to locate the chicken I'd ordered until we realized that it had been made with tofu. (Servers: this is what an ordering pad is for!! There is no shame in using one!!) I snared the waitress before she got into the back, and she took it away and apparently they remade the whole dish, because my friend finished his whole meal before mine came back. It ended up being okay, but in the end I should have tried something else initially (had I known). His dish was alright but as he said, only serviceable. There were a number of interesting sounding dishes on the menu (nutty chicken, coco chicken) and a plethora of seafood dishes (including the hilariously named (Hotty Seafood), but after this experience I'll return to the safety of Le Siam further south on 59.

I'm Thai and I love it, was near by and so craving some good veg food since I love Indian but the idea of Butter chicken with Tofu was probably not going to happen, so I had to go Thai where they can usually substitute with tofu or at least they can at Thai Pavilion in DeKalb. Here they had LOBSTER! I can eat seafood and lots of it so I enjoyed the egg rolls with lobster, the mango and lobster roll, my boyfriend enjoyed the duck, and I had to soft-shell crab entree. Everything sparkled. I loved my Thai ice coffee, and Thai iced tea, and this is the first place my boyfriend actually liked his "cha Thai" that's Thai iced tea. So I am giving them 5 stars! Must return with mama! Oh and I had gone to SKY HIGH SPORTS earlier and at the age of 32 I jumped like a 12 year old so I was so hungry and so was he (the boyfriend). Great place to unwind!

So, we just got takeout from them tonight. I'm still impressed. I do think next time we'll dine in. Tastes much better without the car ride. Nothing beats hot out of the kitchen crab rangoons. We had the avocado rolls again. I think that is my favorite thing here! The rangoons were good again. I tried the chicken satay, and it was good, but again, not my thing. Just the flavoring of it wasn't to my liking. But it's good. Again, I hope this makes sense. Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean you won't. All I could taste was the marinade, not the chicken. not how I like it. It was heavily flavored. There's the word I want. the peanut sauce that goes with was pretty tasty. Hubby had the tom kha. He was happy with it. And now he has satay for lunch. Our order was ready in a timely manner. And it tasted good. :) I'm a happy customer. And I'm full. And I have more avocado rolls and rangoon for tomorrow!

The food was good and the price for the lunch special is unbeatable. 7.99 gets you a small cup of soup, 2 small spring rolls, and a plate of your choice for the main meal. I chose the pad kai sei (not sure how to properly spell it). I asked for it to be spicy and it came out about a 5 on an American scale (prolly a 1 on the Thai scale). It was very good, my only complaint would be that it was on the cold side. There were a few parts of the plate where it was room temperature. That is why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Nestled off Rt. 59 in a strip mall, we walked past it going to the hardware store and decided to give it a try. My husband is gluten and dairy free, so I sold him on the rice noodles and peanut oil in Thai food. We have been back twice and loved everything we have tried. I adore the mango lobster roll appetizers, which are spring rolls with a peanut sauce you can spoon on yourself. I've had the baby corn and peapod and trio delight entrees and they were both delicious. My partner had pad thai chicken and some kind of coconut curry with shrimp and pineapple that he raved about. The Jasmine iced tea is refreshing and light, too. The banana dessert reminded me of overcooked oatmeal, but there is so much delicious food, I can skip dessert. :) I will definitely be going back often and we noticed they do a brisk carryout business, so we are looking forward to having a new carryout place that is on my way home from work.

Great Avocado lovers spring rolls! My wife had Ginger Chicken which she loved and I had the Five Star chicken which was delicious and loaded with chicken and veggies. The sauce was very tasty on both entrees. The service was very friendly and helped us within a couple minutes after we sat down. The interior is very clean and the booth was cozy for us. We will definitely go back!
(5)Becky S.
Solid lunch spot. I really enjoyed my food off the lunch menu both times I have eaten here. Prices are affordable and service is friendly. I recommend!
(4)H S.
First time I've had Thai and it's introduced me to some new tastes. I enjoy eating my meal without having to shout to carry on a conversation with my dinner partners. Décor was pleasant without beating you over the head to let you know you're eating in an Asian restaurant. Service was prompt and complete. Food selection was varied and well prepared. If you can't find something on the menu to satisfy your cravings, you're in the wrong restaurant. The place to go to enjoy an excellent meal in quiet surroundings.

We found our new Thai favorite, which used to be Le Siam but this is a better value (by using restaurant.com ), is closer to our house and still very tasty. Had chicken satay, chicken pot sticker, fried tofu, chicken panang curry, beef soup, shrimp fried rice, garlic chicken. The chicken satay was more chicken than usual Thai places...I loved it had more meat but my wife thought Le Siams was tastier. The garlic chicken and shrimp fried rice were very tasty as well. My daughter loved the pot stickers because they were a little crispy on the bottom and the meat was still tender in the middle. The beef soup was just ok to us but one thing that impressed me was they actually had a lot of beef in it that wasn't fatty. Finally the panang curry was very tasty as well. Hopefully our next visit is consistently good!
(5)Jen N.
Great thai restaurant. Just wish it was a little closer to home. I have enjoyed their Pad thai, 5 star chicken, and shrimp, egg rolls, and garlic chicken. All of the entrees were tasty. Will return for sure.
(4)Scott S.
I was a fan of Ariya because of it's freshness and service. Montri has yet to dissapoint. I do go at lunch a lot and the 5 star dish is wonderful. I recently went back and tried the spicy basil chicken- WOW. Excellent job! The starter egg drop soup was much different than expected and was delicious. I really appreciate a restaurant that makes things fresh and care about what they serve. Montri is small and quaint and makes it's food a nice presentation which I appreciate, and you can taste the freshness. Try it, you'll like it. If you support restaurants like this less and less cookie cutter chain restaurants will appear!
(4)M M.
Pretty good service. Great prices compared with other Thai restaurants in the area. About $30 for 2 entrees and an appetizer. Food was very good too. Avocado rolls were excellent. Pad thai was not as good as some other places, but still good.
(4)Patrick T.
Thai is my go-to comfort food, and there are some around Naperville, but not really very good. Got the Chicken Pad Thai, Ginger Chicken, Chicken Satay, and the Avocado rolls to go. Everything was good - all the sauces were great!
(4)Jen K.
The place itself is really nice on the inside and has a great staff. You also get a generous helping of food with your order...I just thought the pad thai was ok. I've certainly had worse...but I've also had better, in my opinion. The yellow curry was a saving grace...that was great. We will probably go back, but just not for pad thai.
(3)Christina G.
I've only been here once but, my experience was amazing! I was recommended here from a coworker and I was pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was very patient and friendly. She took the time to explain a lot of the menu selections and had some great recommendations. She was very attentive and it was one of the best service I have ever received. The food portions there are huge and I had a lot to take home. Their potstickers are to die for! My friend and I ordered two orders of it because we could not get enough. I will definitely be coming back here again!
(5)Tina E.
If you even remotely enjoy the Avocado Eggrolls @ The Cheesecake Factory, You have to try their "Avocado Lover Rolls". The Pad Thai was a little dry & with skinny noodles than most places serve. Great Staff & Attentive service. Lokking forward to trying the Panang.
(4)Kate M.
I was blown away by how delicious everything was! We had avocado spring rolls, the shrimp appetizer, Thai Time and the curried catfish. It was very inexpensive for both the quality of the dish and the atmosphere. The waitress was friendly and helpful. You need to eat their avocado egg rolls. Every day.
(5)Heidi A.
Delicious, Fresh, Healthy! Favorite dishes are the Panang Curry and Pad Si Ew rice noodles. Every time I feel the slightest cold coming on, I order the Tom Khai soup. It always makes me feel better and it's tasty. I love this spot!
(5)Lisa P.
Wow!! I've eaten at a lot of different Thai places, but this one is the best! The Tom Kha Khai soup is absolutely delicious and the nutty chicken is unique and has a great, flavorful sauce. Even the regular old iced tea is really good (and I'm pretty sure it's homemade); it has a delicate floral taste to it. I've also tried the pad see ew, which is one of my favorite dishes, and it was incredible! Everything tastes fresh and is presented beautifully. It really seems like the chef cares about the dishes he makes. Service was also friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Don't pass this place by just because it's in a strip mall! It's a diamond in the rough!

I went to Montri the other night during the week and found 3 other couples in the restaurant. The place was very clean but a little to dark to my liking. I ordered the avocado roll on the advice of one of the reviews I had read on Yelp and I wasn't disappointed. As far as the entree I ordered the basil fried rice with CHICKEN. It being so dark in the restaurant I could not taste or see the chicken, maybe it was ground chicken, but anyway it was a lot of rice and I took half of it home. When I ate the other half of the basil fried rice with chicken, in the light, I could not find any chicken ground or other wise. I feel for $8.95 they should have included chicken in the dish , I will not go back because there are many good Thia restaurants in the city! RIPPED OFF IN WARRENVILLE

Ordered delivery tonight with no issues. The server took down our order, address, and credit card information. 45 minutes later and eagerly awaiting our dinner, we get a call to let us know that they don't deliver to our address and that our order was being cancelled. You would think something like this would be verified before accepting the order and taking a customer's credit card. Nope, they decided to take our credit card and wait 45 minutes before letting us know. We are about 6 miles away from the store, so the distance was not unreasonable. Won't ever be eating here and would suggest others avoid as well.
(1)Julie B.
Great thai food! Love the pad Thai! Potstickers are yummy too.
(5)Laura S.
I have been here twice and both times were perfect. Good food, good drinks, great service, and a fair price. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Brought my husband who had never had Thai the second time and he loved it. Will be back!
(5)LTine M.
My friend was a bit skeptical because not only was it Thai food, but it was Thai food from a strip mall restaurant. We had a restaurant.com voucher so we had to spend a certain amount. (Also cash only on remaining amount). Egg Rolls: a different version than your typical chinese style. Angel Wings: Stuffed Chicken wings. Yum! 5 Star Beef: Blend of veggies and tender beef. BANANA DUCK CURRY: Yes, I said banana duck curry. A surplus of veggies, boneless duck and practically an entire banana. The spiciness of the sauce and the sweetness of the fruit blew my taste buds away! The waitress was very friendly, the decor was bright, but the atmosphere wasn't anything to brag about. I'll would order from this place if I had another craving for Thai. I will say I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a couple of my favorite dishes, although I'm sure if I asked they would have known how to cook them.
(3)Cati N.
Went last night for dinner.. and OMG! It was my very first time having Thai food and I could not be happier! The avacado rolls appitizer was awesome! I had Thai Time seafood dish and my boyfriend had the warrenville duck. We both REALLY liked our food! The service was great, very polite. I loved the atmosphere, too. I highly reccomend you check this place out if you have not yet!
(5)Mike R.
LOVE this place, good food good service.and clean inside Reviewed by the Naperville ~ Food Dude ~
(5)Monica B.
This place has great thai food and ambiance ! It is really classy and clean inside and would be a great date place. The food was spectacular and authentic spices are used here. I highly recommend you try it out if you are looking for that perfect thai place and are sick of the mediocre thai food that is being served all over the place with a hole in the wall atmosphere (I know many tacky thai restaurants). I found the pricing right in line with other thai places and it is a good value for the quality of food, service, and ambiance you are receiving. 4 solid stars. A must try if you like thai food and the service I received was top notch with some great conversation !
(4)Michael C.
The food here is awesome.The Pad Thai is really good and the shrimp spring rolls are amazing!!
(5)Steven D.
I have been to Montri a few times, and nothing has disappointed me. This restaurant is classier than any of the other local Thai restaurants. Their chef will usually arrange food on the plates fancy like very expensive restaurants. The restaurant never seems busy maybe because it is hard to see from Rt. 59. I hope they don't go out of business, because they seem like very good people. Even though I like quiet restaurants, I hope they get more business. You can tell by the food taste that it has not been pre-cooked like Yum Yum Thai; this might take a little longer but it's worth the wait.
(5)Olga S.
Excellent place! Good food, ambiance, service! It can compete with restaurants in Chicago.
(5)Rachel P.
Not that great of pad se ew. I've had it here at least 3 or 4 different times throughout the year-hoping it would be better, and because it's the only Thai restaurant in Warrenville. I wouldn't suggest this restaurant to friends due to quality of dishes. Staff are very friendly though hence 2 stars.
(2)marsha k.
I love this place! Their food is really fresh- my favorite is the brocolli and tofu, and I love their Thai iced tea. The service is also great- i feel like they go out of their way to help the customer with selecting an item. My water glass was never empty while I was there, which is my marker of how attentive the service staff are.
(5)lara k.
This was really, reallllly good... Did a carryout order... Veggie pad sai ew and thai orange chicken and a thai iced tea... The veggie dish was perfect, great thick noodles and a sweet, slightly tangy sauce. The orange chicken was phenomenal. Not overly sweet, like chinese style orange chicken can get, but a fresh tasting, tangy/slightly spicy sauce with orange pieces and delicious lightly breaded chicken. The thai tea was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Very refreshing. This place is always seemingly empty, which is a real shame because for $20 on the comfort of our own couch watching DA BULLS beat up the Celtics, we ate like kings. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Anthony M.
Me and my parents decided to eat some thai food for n early Father's day dinner and I am so glad to have found this place! The outside isn't anything special, but once you get inside it's like a whole different dimension. Also the employees are all so kind and very patient when taking your orders, which was a big plus. Now for the food........it was amazing! We first got the Montri appetizer platter with an array of spring rolls, tempura and other stuff. They were the perfect size for an appetizer and all tasted incredible. For the main course we ordered Pad Si Ew, Shrimp fried rice and one of the duck dishes and they did not disappoint. Overall an amazing experience and would definitely go back again!
(4)John H.
Very good, got a deal on groupon and will be back.
(4)MeLissa H.
Great food to take out but the dining in service is pretty bad. We had a party of 4 and that meal took 2 hours because the server did not check up on us enough and took forever to get us the check with only one other table.
(3)Rogerio F.
great food and awesome friendly service! sweet almond beef is great.
(5)chad r.
Two words....RED CURRY!! I feel safe to say I will one day take a bath in their red curry because it's beyond amazing. Sweet with a little kick, rich, fresh veggies etc...SO GOOD. As for an appetizer, try the avocado egg-rolls and then you can die happy. Authentic Thai food by people that know how to do Thai food. The service is extremely friendly and the restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere that makes for a very comfortable dinner. Go eat here or turn in your taste buds .
(5)Amy B.
By far the best Thai food near Naperville. We live far south Naperville & consider this very worthy of the drive. We had Pad Thai & Cashew Chicken. Both were excellent. A 5 star restaurant with friendly staff & attentive service. Check it out!
(5)Jullie J.
The Food is OK, the service is good. Atmosphere is borring, the location is not quite touristable. I would go back because it's not bad and the server was polite.
(4)Jay R.
Absolutely outstanding. Service is great, takeout is quick, price is right, and, most importantly, the food is fantastic. Highly, highly recommended.
(5)Jennifer S.
I have ordered from here twice now for take out and both times the food was amazing. Coco chicken and lemongrass beef are great.
(5)B. D.
PHENOMENAL food. Very pretty restaurant. Absolutely awesome variety on their menu! Unbelievably good Thai version of escargot, softshell crab, duck, lobster -- and your favourite standards. WOW! I was impressed with the quality, quantity, and presentation. We ordered the escargot which was three little boats of escargot in an amazing green curry sauce served with garlic bread. We also grabbed their calamari which had a nice pepper bite to the tempura breading and a lovely sweet & sour chili sauce. Tried their tom ka kai coconut soup and that was REALLY fantastic. Our entrees were softshell crab -- which my fiance called "food porn" -- it was so beautifully presented. I tried a bite of it and it was outstanding. My entree was the Warrenville duck which was shredded boneless duck with shrimp and vegetables in a sauce with a touch of brandy -- served over a sizzling plate. OMG was that GOOD! This places deserves to be PACKED. My fiance and I will *definitely* be back! 5 stars!
(5)Jason S.
My wife and I have eaten here several times, the first time being that we had a restaurant.com voucher, and every other time because we love the food! It has been a while since we've been there, but only because we've been busy with the holidays approaching, but everything we have ordered has been delicious! I am usually a "selective" (picky) eater, but here, I have not been afraid to be a little adventurous, since they have never once let me down! Once the holiday rush is over, we'll be finding our way back here to relax with some excellent food and equally great hospitality!
(5)Prabha R.
Very neatly maintained.. Love the decor and the food was good!

Maybe not a "destination restaurant" but a great little thai place for us locals who don't want to face the traffic on 59. I only get my food to-go; the chicken panang curry (my favorite thai dish) is excellent.
(4)asra a.
ordered crab rangoon and chicken spring rolls. best crab rangoon ive had around here. friend ordered the chicken pad thai which was good. i ordered pineapple shrimp curry which was amazing. only 6 shrimp in it though. thai iced tea was also really good. charged extra to take home rice, which i didnt expect. would definitely come back, but will be aware of the extra rice charge for next time.
