I've ordered take out on 4-5 occasions and had dinner in once. The portions are small and only moderately tasteful. I've had numerous frustrating experiences with take out, including once where we received the wrong items. The "woman on the phone" (she answers each time- owner?) is not helpful. Don't get me wrong, she's nice, but she wouldn't rectify the error in our order (normally I follow up on this stuff relentlessly). She's also consistently had trouble takings orders- she doesn't understand questions. There isn't much Thai in my area, so I occasionally frequent this place. Honestly , if you have an alternative- take it!

The food just isn't very good here. I have gotten VIP Thai 3-4 times in the hopes of it improving because I love Thai food and this place is conveniently located. Each time was a disappointment.
(1)Travis B.
Love this place, fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, great service, and fast. We eat here weekly. Vip that is a local treasure worthy of your patronage.

Yucky! Tom kha soup was outrageously fishy. Manager was a pencil pointer with waitress..

I was starving after a very long stint at my hair salon making something of the mess on my head and this place was a couple of doors down. I got in right before the lunch specials ended and the place was pretty empty. The waitress was very nice and quickly brought me a menu and some water. I went with the lunch portion of Penang Curry with chicken, which is generally one of my favorite Thai dishes. My food quickly came and looked delicious. I got a scoop of white rice, the curry and some carrots and broccoli on the side. It wasn't too spicy, if I ordered it again I might ask for it to be a little spicier. It wasn't very expensive, $6-7 if I remember correctly. However I ate every bite of it and still felt like I could have had something more. I realize that it was a lunch portion, so I might try takeout for dinner sometime.

Very, Very disappointing......we were looking to try a different place just to try something new, but should have stuck with Tai San. Chicken Pad Thai was so bland, as were the Miso Soup and chicken rolls. The chicken in the chicken rolls was so chewy you couldn't even take a bite without pulling the whole thing out. The veggie dumplings weren't too bad. I lived in the city for a long time, and ate at some very amazing Thai places. This place didn't even come close.
(1)Meghan M.
Dined in here today and it was great. Fast and friendly service and the food was great. We just moved to the area and will for sure be coming back!!
(4)Amy M.
I am incredibly disappointed with the food here. I waited almost 2 hours for delivery and ended up with tasteless pad thai (barely any noodles and way too many sprouts), awful, salty miso soup and bland, thick lad na with a few pieces of broccoli and tofu in it. $30 for crappy food. I had a great experience here a while ago, and after this meal, I will never order from them again.
(1)Claudia C.
Love the food! Love the staff! End up here at least once a week because it's so close to home, the food is wonderful and the owners are so personable!
(5)K A.
Ordered the crazy noodles and they were very good. Service was also extremely fast. I'll definitely come back here to try some of the other things on the menu.
(5)Harrison H.
This place was utterly fantastic. The service was pleasant, the food was decadent, the atmosphere was pristine and even the bathrooms were spotless. The prices were completely reasonable, especially when considering the quantity of food. I would certainly recommend this place to a friend.
(5)Zahra H.
I was very excited to discover a Thai place so close to our new home. I have ordered several lunch take outs as well as dined in here on a few occasions during dinner time. The food is delicious and freshly prepared, yet is ready in record time! I especially enjoyed the crazy noodles and Penang curry, the other curries were pretty standard Thai food but still delicious. The service here is always great, I think the owners are a couple and the lady in the front is very sweet and always gracious. However, I do think the prices are on the higher side, and the portions are small compared to other places. I feel like the dishes are low on meat and could be larger for the price.
(4)Jeremy S.
Really good service the iced green tea is amazing, my bf got the pad krapao and I was definitely jealous the taste was far superior to the Thai spicy basil with chicken or my beef salad. Everything was tasty but the pad krapao had to the best thing we tried for sure. Only reason it didn't receive 5***** was I thought the entrees could be a little bit cheaper. I will be back. 4stars
(4)David M.
I have been here several times and enjoyed the food greatly. It's a relatively small place and rather quiet, which is a plus. All the food tastes fresh and comes out of the kitchen rather quickly. The chicken satay is particularly outstanding, having tasted the chicken satay from all of the local Thai places. The beef pad thai is also worth trying. For some reason, I am in love with the wild color scheme on the walls: the vivid fluorescent orange and electric green. The service is quick and the hostess/server friendly. The bathrooms are clean and accessible. The dining room is well maintained and well lit. Unfortunately, there is no wi-fi access. I think that that is a huge "minus" for restaurants these days. Given wi-fi's availability and the fact that probably 90% of people walking in the door have smart phones or some other data hungry device. Given the competition in the Thai restaurant realm here in the western suburbs, I hope that VIP Thai Cuisine makes it and is around for a long time to come.

Went for a late lunch this afternoon. The Crab Rangoon was probably the best I've ever had. My husband had the Spicy Thai Noodles with Chicken and I had Kung Pao Beef--we shared. Both dishes were light, fresh and the veggies weren't over done. The seasoning was just right on both dishes but the waitress was sure to ask us if we needed extra sauce. We had the Thai Iced tea and Thai Iced Coffee--both were great. We went at an off hour of the day so the small seating area wasn't crowded. Our service was excellent and we'll be sure to go back, The fact that they deliver and take orders on line is a bonus!
(5)Paul Z.
I wanted to like this place but they fell a bit short. The Beef Pad See yew had a fishy taste , maybe they used too much Oyster sauce, the Broccoli were cold in the middle, The Kung Pao chicken was decent but too mild for my liking, they loaded it with too many vegetables and not enough chicken, I will not crave their food like I have with other Thai places. Service was very good and so was the Thai Ice coffee

Disclaimer: Thai Happiness is my happy place. For me to stray is a big deal. Please don't tell Freddy I've been unfaithful. You promise you won't? Phew, thanks. I live in Seven Bridges and for months I kept an eagle eye on VIP Thai, waiting for the "coming soon" signs to come down and the doors to open. You see, I hate driving almost as much as I love Thai food and the idea of a Thai place so close to me was irresistible. The Dude and I first went to VIP Thai during their "soft opening." At that point, things weren't running smoothly. It took forever for our server to come see us (the people next to us even left!) and the poor people waiting for takeout were there for a good 45 minutes. That said, I'm glad we stuck it out because my pineapple curry was amazing and so we The Dude's crazy noodles. I've been back twice for takeout and have called in my orders ahead of time just in case they were still lagging on preparing things. Both times my order was ready within 10 minutes and waiting for me. The pad thai with tofu is delicious - the tofu is done just the way I like it and the noodles have that nice almost-crispness to them. I order it extra spicy because that's how I roll. Everyone I've encountered there has also been very friendly - always a plus! Tip: Their online ordering system doesn't work. When you search for "VIP Thai," it says there are no restaurants by that name. Save yourself the headache and call 'em instead.
(4)Jessica A.
Best service I've had in the longest time! Everyone is so friendly here, always welcoming you when you walk in. I really like the food too! I'm glad that opened up in this area because I love Thai food. It's right next to Coldstone and Starbucks, you can't miss it! Try the rangoons, they are delicious!
(4)Dave D.
I stopped by here last week for a late lunch/early dinner and I was very happy with the service and food. I got a thai iced green tea to start and it was very tasty. My main course was the sweet and spicy tofu with brown rice, and it was really tasty. The spice builds, because at first I said to myself "This isn't very spicy..." Oh how wrong I was, i was actually very pleasantly spicy. My husband got the thai basil tofu with homemade noodles. This was where I was envious, I should have gotten the homemade noodles as an upgrade. Who knew? I'm a brown rice kind of guy, but these noodles were really excellent. It made his dish really delicious. The portions were a nice size where we could eat it all and not stuff ourselves (we were there at 4:00 so I don't know if it was a lunch or dinner portion, but either way, I liked it). We went for a long walk after dinner and I didn't have the "I'm going to throw up from pigging out on Thai food" feeling. The service was also really good and very prompt. Overall, it's the closest Thai place to our house that's really good, so we'll be back. I'll also be interested in getting takeout from here as well.
(4)Ali A.
The crab rangoon was the best I have had in a long time and they served chili garlic sauce table side with a cute little container of soy sauce. My crazy noodle dish was alright but I was craving more rangoon. If I am ever in that area again I will go back. Oh and splitting checks was a pain in here.
(4)Lochin S.
home made noodles are great. We have tried three different times, and it seems they over salt. food is good if they backed off a bit.
(3)Kit A.
As a huge Thai food lover who needs a curry fix at least once a week, I think I know about every Thai place in the area. I had absolutely no idea this place even existed until I had to stop over at the doctor's office. On my first trip in, I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp and the Penang curry with chicken. Prices are excellent! Only $12 for both and good sized portions for leftovers. The food I was not absolutely impressed with. Tom Yum soup was too much broth and not enough veggies. When I ordered the shrimp I only got 3 (and they weren't de-vained too well). The Penang curry was pretty good and they give you large amounts of chicken. Only issue is the chicken was really slimy tasting like it had been sitting in water before it was cooked. I felt slightly sick the next day. Since I had lots of leftovers, I ended up throwing it in a pan and cooking the chicken some more which was a good idea on my part. Next time I think I'm ordering it with tofu though.... I think this place has potential but they need to work on some of the food.
(3)Andrew T.
Fresh ingredients, and all the flavors came together very well for my crazy noodles that I ordered here. I cannot say I am a Thai food expert, so I cannot say how authentic the food is, but it was very tasty and delectable. The restaurant is small, well-lit and has a great location right by Cinemark and a Starbucks, teehee. The service was friendly, and helpful in providing recommendations. I also recommend their Thai Ice Tea. For whatever reason though, the food reminded me of Chinese food with more exotic spices. Regardless, it tasted great!
(2)Raymond T.
been there three times to give it a fair shot, since it's so close and convenient to my apt. the service is good but i'm here for the food. chicken pad thai was the only thing that was decent. everything else was kind've like "this place is called VIP THAI" more like "VIP WHY?" Thai curry dishes - watered-down curry paste, veggies are chopped kinda sloppy Crab Rangoon - alot of black pepper in the cheese filling, kinda weird. anything fried - overcooked and chewy, not crispy.
(2)David G.
At last, a Thai restaurant in my neighborhood. I had dinner late on a Thursday evening and the place was quiet, although the take out business was booming. The dining room is small but comfortable, seating about 30. No issues with the service but there were only two other couples in the dining room at the time. I found the food excellent; the Chicken Satay was a work of art almost too nice to eat. In addition to the appetizer we had Cashew Sauce Chicken and Mild Yellow Curry both dishes were excellent, however if you truly want mild curry you should ask them to cut back on the curry and go for extra mild it will still be spicy enough for most diners. They have beer and wine available, but we choose Thai iced coffee and were not disappointed, it was the real deal. VIP Thai might become my new go-to place for Asian food, dine in or takeout.
(4)Jodi F.
I have been searching for a good Thai restaurant in the suburbs since I moved from Chicago 15 years ago. FINALLY! GOOD THAI FOOD! The menu is simple Thai food. The service is great, the restaurant is really cute and the location is easy to get to. If you live anywhere in the south suburbs (close to I355). This small Thai restaurant is worth the trip.
(4)E Y.
We were for lunch and really enjoyed the fried rice and spicy crazy noodles lunch specials. I had the Thai iced coffee which was just perfect and my mom had the Thai iced green tea, which she really enjoyed. I would come here again for sure.
(4)Erica Z.
Yum! Came here on a Sunday night and it was pretty empty. By the time we left several tables had come in an quite a few doing tale out. I had Tom yum soup and the spicy basil entree (vegetables) with the home made noodles. My boyfriend has crazy noodles. Both of us were happy with our food.. Sauce wasn't over done or greasy. The house noodles were like a thick spaghetti consistency. Our server was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Give this new one a shot.
(4)Tony P.
Good food for the price!
(5)Amy A.
Tonight I ordered from VIP Thai for the second time. Based on my first experience, I would have given it 4 stars. Tonight I ordered the Pad See Ewe with Chicken and Spicy Basil Fried Rice with Chicken. The chicken in both of my dishes was inedible. The meat was flavorless and had an unpleasant texture, unlike any chicken I have ever eaten before. I guess I am going to have to find a new Thai place. I would have given it 0 stars if I could have.
(1)Adam G.
Yummy.... Good stuff!
(5)Kristen E.
Not only did the food leave a bad taste in my mouth, so did the service. I had ordered Chicken Pad See Ewe from their menu as well as Yellow Curry Beef and after picking it up and taking it all the way home, I realized the Yellow Curry Beef was Yellow Curry Chicken. (Mind you I only live a few minutes away, and chicken for beef isn't the end of the world, but as it was not my meal I felt I should call and correct it). I called them and they were quite rude about the situation. They had written it down incorrectly (because I was reading off of a paper that I had ordered from and the girl who took my order read it back to me as Yellow Curry beef) but they would not take responsibility and they charged us for chicken so it was in their words "okay". At this point it was just sheer principle. After stating I am certain I ordered the beef and not chicken she agreed to make a Yellow Curry Beef but I had to bring the untouched Yellow Curry Chicken back as well as pay the difference in price. I found this ridiculous! I didn't mind bringing the food back because I can understand people could do this to try and get a free meal, but having to pay the $1.00 difference for the inconvenience of having to go back for the correct food when they are the ones that were incorrect was quite a shock. When I get there she takes the food from my hand and looks over it to make sure it was chicken and then I waited for the beef. After several minutes she hands me the Yellow Curry Beef which I check to make sure it's beef and tells me she's not going to charge me the difference this time...this time? She made it seem like she was doing me a GIANT favor in all of this, she was not, it was far more hassle than what it was worth. Setting all the terrible service aside I was not going to hold it against them if the food was tasty, it wasn't. My Chicken Pad See Ewe was just that EW! The sauce tasted of burnt oil and the chicken was so tough it was almost like chewing gum. As for the Yellow Curry Beef tasted very watered down and the beef was also quite tough. Needless to say we will not be trying them again. If either the service or the food was good we would have tried them again, however I really don't feel the need to waste my time.

I have no complaints about this place. Last time I ate there I had the sesame tofu (YUM). As usual, we get the steamed veggie dumplings and cucumber salad to start, both excellent. Also, we got the edamame, which is kind of hard to mess up but it was tasty. The dining area is small, but when we have been there seating is no problem (we eat early though and it tends to fill up by the time we roll out), but they do have tables they set up outside when it warms up so that's good. My only "complaint" about this place is they do not have a children's menu, other than that, thumbs up!
(4)Clare K.
Opened on the dot of 4 pm on a Sunday. Really pretty decor, small space, though. Clean bathrooms. Our server was really sweet, she told us what was most popular, and helped us decide between noodles and sauces. Pad Thai was excellent! Presentation of appetizer and entrees showed me they take pride in their work. Hoping this can become my little Thai spot.
(5)Maddy S.
I love this place! My family have become regulars here. The owner (Annie) is the sweetest lady and knows all of our orders by heart. She works her butt off and is there every single day. She greets and seats almost everyone that walks in the door. Anyone that says her food is anything less than average is insane... Her recipes are all FANTASTIC! I got the yaki soba noodles with chicken the other day and it was the best Thai food dish I've ever had. Her egg drop soup is amazing as well! Would recommend this place to everyone and anyone. Don't let the outside fool you, or if there isn't anyone sitting inside, don't let that fool you either! Best Thai food in town, won't go anywhere else!
(5)Jess D.
I think this may be our new go-to thai place. It has easy parking and their food was YUMMY! My husband and I usually get the same thing each time. (Pad thai and Panang curry) My 3 year old had the fried tofu and a bit of my pad thai and seem to love it too. I should mention the staff was very friendly too. The best part is they deliver! yay!
(5)Giselle B.
Food was excellent and service was prompt. This is our 4th time here and it hasn't disappointed yet.
(5)Kathleen R.
We are here every week. We love thai spicy noodles. The noodles are home- made. Service is consistently good.
(4)Britni T.
I have eaten at VIP Thai several times and have loved it every time. They give you a large portion of food and everything I have tried so far is amazing. The service is great and if you order for delivery - the food comes pretty quick.
(5)Alex O.
I ordered takeout and the overall experience was okay to good. In general, I'd say the food reminds me more of Chinese than Thai. The big exception to that was the Tom Yum soup with Chicken. This was very good and closer to what we were expecting. The Yellow Curry was good and very spicy, but more like Chinese Yellow Curry than Thai Yellow Curry. The steamed vegetable dumplings were good. The Thai Cashew Chicken tasted somewhere between Thai and Chinese. The Pad Thai was okay. If you're in the mood for Chinese and Thai, this could be a great place. If you're in the mood for Thai, I'm not sure this will fully satisfy the craving.
(2)Angie B.
My family's go-to Thai restauraunt! We're picky folks about our Thai food, so it took a long time for one to open up nearby that we actually liked, but VIP Thai was well worth the wait. I've ordered take out, eaten in, and ordered delivery - that's how good they are. Their only weakness may be their pad thai, which tends to be a little dry, and the quality of the chicken used, which other reviewers have mentioned. But their yellow curry is unbelievable, great pad see ew, awesome veggie dumplings. They also have some of the best soups I've ever had at a thai place - tom kha beyond your wildest dreams, always hot and sweet, vinegary and flavorful. I crave it whenever I'm sick these days. Seriously, don't waste your time anywhere else. I've never had to wait to eat in, so I hope they're doing okay! When you do eat in, it's a casual but very clean place, with warm decor and a TV if you're in the mood for it. They also have a killer red bean ice cream dessert, big enough for two to split. I eat here a couple times a month. Awesome.
(4)Toni F.
I get my hair cut in a studio right around the corner from VIP Thai so we decided to try it for dinner after a recent appointment. My stylist had never eaten here but she said "there are amazing smells coming from that place all the time,you should try it." It was a great discovery - their menu has a nice variety of dishes and everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful and reasonably priced. The friend who joined me on my first visit here was on a very restricted diet and the item she ordered was prepared perfectly to her specifications. The waiter was really friendly and prompt as well. The place is adorable - it wasn't very crowded and the location is so convenient in the Seven Bridges mall near the theater. I think this is one of the better restaurant options in the area.
(4)Renee G.
I visited VIP Thai for the first time today for lunch. I love Thai food and I thought the meal was good. Unfortunately I was caught up in conversation during the cashing out process and realized once I got home that I had been given the wrong change. Having worked in the industry I understand that mistakes happen and thought I would just call and give the server the chance to make things right. I let him know that I live right next to the restaurant, enjoyed the food and look forward to being a regular. He made some excuse about the coupon being not valid (which I highly doubt because I read it thoroughly). But if that was the case why didn't he come back to the table with the coupon and said something and give the coupon back??? He had no answer to that question. I had tipped more than 20% on the original (not the discounted price) and so for him to pocket the extra $5 from my coupon just fattened his wallet that much more. It's discouraging when you give someone the opportunity to do the right thing and create a long term customer that would tip well and they choose to take advantage of the situation and steal your money. I was really disappointed about the whole experience and probably wont visit or recommend this place to anyone. Good Food but Unethical Servers.....no thank you
(1)Naina N.
Amazing food!! Definitely recommend going here. Food was served so quickly, too! Sweet staff :)
(5)Jeremy P.
I live near this restaurant and am never disappointed. It is good enough to eat at once a week at least. Their food is consistently high quality and with either dine in or carry out it is ready very quickly. They use quality ingredients and their dishes always taste great. I can't recommend this place enough. Their noodles and curry are always a good choice.
(5)Sean B.
They have really done goodbye ass food has been fresh the prices have been reasonable we have been doing that delivery service at first I had mixed emotions about Thai VIP but now I give five stars they definitely want us over!
(5)Anuj A.
I came to this restaurant for the first time and as a vegetarian, I would say it's fantastic!! The lunch specials are VERY reasonably priced at about $7. The dine-in atmosphere is very nice and clean, not like your usual hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. The food portion sizes are very reasonable and as a foodie, I was quite full after my meal. The food itself was absolutely delicious and fresh. Seems healthy; not too much sauce.
(5)Gary L.
Very close to the new pad and have tried them several times. Very solid offering and a quaint little place that fills up quickly. I like the dim sum style apps and have enjoyed the noodle dishes I tried. My only issue is they do not serve pork dishes which I like Thai'd up. Worth a visit if you are near.
(4)Debra K.
VIP Thai Cuisine is outstanding! I really, really enjoyed my food. I ordered; Green Papaya Salad, Tofu Rama Style, Brown Rice and Mango Sticky Rice. Every dish was flavorful, fresh and a value for the price. Dare i say the best authentic Thai food I have had in the Chiagoland area....Seriously! Even the nutty, short-grained brown rice was perfectly cooked. I could go into details of each dish but my words would not capture how tasty and satisfying the food was. The service was also wonderful and very friendly. I will dine here again and bring my friends and family, you should too....!
(5)Christine L.
Very disappointing! At most, 1 star! We ordered Tom Yum Soup, Beef Pad Thai, Salmon Teriyaki. Their Beef Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup lacked color and I knew, even before I tasted, that it would be bland. The Tom Yum Soup lacked spice and was bland as well. It had cabbage! I've never had Tom Yum with cabbage in it! The Salmon looked like the frozen salmon they sell at Jewel's and it was drowning in teriyaki sauce which tasted very much like my bottle teriyaki sauce at home. We are avid fans of Thai food and we eat out at least 3x a week. I wouldn't come back here soon. #canigetmymoneyback
(1)Jeremiah F.
Fantastic food that we all enjoyed on a rainy summer day! The service was very slow but I think that was due to a surprising amount of customers there on a lazy afternoon; they were swamped! The food was fresh, well cooked, and delicious. I went with three other adults and three children; nobody walked away disappointed! Even the notoriously picky young man who came with us ate everything he was given very happily. I loved their Thai iced tea, and really enjoyed the panang curry. I would definitely get this again! The combo sampler appetizer that we split at the table was a good appetizer for two people and walked me through the basic appetizers pretty well. There were a few things on it that I didn't particularly care for but didn't dislike either (the shumai, in particular) but the crab rangoon and egg rolls were pretty delicious! My wife had the Tom Kha soup, a coconut milk soup (with many other fresh and delicious ingredients). She really liked it and said she'd have it next time we visit. There will definitely be a next time. Maybe this weekend!
(4)Elv A.
This place has great crazy noodles and my favorite, pad see ew! I've dined in and ordered carry out on numerous occasions, but forgot to rate this place. Definitely worth checking this place out.
(5)Kat D.
Great food! I've tried the Panang curry ( my favorite) pineapple curry, fried rice and spicy noodles. Have been here several times. There is something about the sweet and spicy of the Panang curry that draws me back here. Yummy!
(4)Jay M.
Whatever they served me.....was not chicken. I even brought this up to the waiter... I said "this is not chicken. It's something processed that's supposed to look like chicken....it's fake chicken." He said "lemme ask the chef". He came back and said "yeah, the chef agrees, something is not right about this chicken." Um, yeah something is wrong with your chicken. It's not chicken. Been here twice. Dis-kus-ting both times.
(1)terri j.
very clean restaurant, staff are really nice and friendly. Food is fresh and best off they are delicious!!!!!
(5)C L.
The service is always pleasant and the food is good. I give four stars because the menu is pretty basic and they don't have as many noodle dishes as you would find in the city. But like I said they're really nice and the dishes they do offer are always well presented and taste fine. And it's always incredibly clean in the restaurant and the restrooms, which is a plus.
(4)Ashley W.
I REALLY wanted to like this place because it's close to my house.... BUT our food was down-right disgusting, almost inedible. Any time I go to a Thai place, I get the Pad Thai. Always. It's a pretty basic dish at any Thai restaurant, so I'd expect they'd know how to do it right. For starters, the chicken as other have previously mentioned, was so chewy that it couldn't even be eaten. I pulled all of the chicken off and put it to the side, thinking I'd still enjoy the noodles and vegetables... wrong. The noodles were mushy and the entire thing was bland, like it was completely missing the sauce. The only positive to our meal was that delivery was fast, and the delivery driver was very friendly. I won't be placing another order, however. Thai Pot and Thai Happiness in Downers Grove are both MUCH better.
(1)Shane S.
The chicken in the pad thai was brittle, looked like fish and had little taste. Seemed of low quality. Dumplings were just frozen food warmed up, could have microwaved better food. Pad thai noodles and larb gai were good.
(2)John K.
Great food and service, reasonable prices...the panang curry is great. Came with my 4 kids and they are very accommodating for their varying tastes. We will be back.
(5)Jie S.
They are still keeping up their good work on food and services. We have been taken out and dined in a few times in the past two months. My friends also liked this place. Other than the typical dishes we always order from a Thai place like Pad Thai, green curry, basil chicken, tom yum soup and fried rice, we have also discovered the Crazy noodles and panang curry from VIP Thai. Both of them are really good. I liked the Crazy noodles a lot. And I was told the rice noodles was homemade. Nice. The services were always great. Once we came in with 5 kids in one big table. The waiter kindly provided the plastic water cups with the lid and always put the hot dishes on the parents side of the table. They are still running the promotion for $5 off $25 dinning-in.
(5)Erin S.
Amazing delicious food! The ambiance in this small restraunt is cozy and romantic. You can't help but fall in love with the owners. They're so sweet! I told her this was my first time trying Thai curry and she had the chef tailor the spiciness to meet my taste she also recommended the chicken satay appetizer and with our take out order they gave us free veggie dumplings. The value was amazing and the food blew me away. I had the green curry with tofu and it totally filled me up and it was so delicious. As promised it was spicy but not so bad I didn't enjoy the flavor. I will be frequenting this spot many more times!
(5)Candice G.
Hold up. You mean to tell me a new Thai food place opened up two weeks ago within 8 miles of my house and I wasn't notified?! Damn. Guess I'm no VIP... I mean, I only eat Thai food every.damn.day . So I see VIP Thai pop up on my Hot New Business feed on Yelp last night and made a memo to get there STAT today. I walked in to one guy working and an otherwise empty restaurant, but I also eat at off hours so it's pretty typical for places to be near or completely empty when I go in. I had checked out their menu online and knew ahead of time that I wants the shrimp rolls (shrimp wrapped in wonton skin and fried), the tom yum soup with tofu and the spicy basil leaves with tofu, extra spicy. I ordered my food totaling just under $20 + $4 tip and walked over to Starbucks to grab something caffeinated because I like to use it as an appetite suppressant, especially when before eating Thai food as my hunger for spicy Thai dishes is simply insatiable. My food took about 10ish minutes and I waited outside in their front alfresco dining area until the guy working inside kindly brought my food right out to me. When I got home I ate all $20 worth of food in one sitting, because like I said, my appetite for this type of cuisine is inhuman... or maybe I have a tapeworm that favors Thai. My rundown of the meal is as follows: + Shrimp rolls wrapped in wonton skin and fried - $5.95 I was hoping they'd be like the shrimp cigars at Thai Pot in DG, only much cheaper at $5.95, but sadly, they were not. They weren't bad, just not very flavorful and a tad too simple for my tastes. It was just the basic shrimp and the fried wonton ish. At Thai Pot they make they with some kind of magic spices (though they aren't spicy or hot or anything) and there's a full basil leaf rolled around the shrimp before they're wrapped with the wonton. I should also mention that there are only four rolls and they are REALLY skinny with little shrimp, not like the large, juicy, thick shrimp at TP. I was expecting to be disappointment and not feel very full after these, but they was actually quite a bit of shrimp stuffed into those fried tubes- so still not a bad deal for $5.95. + Tom Yum Soup w/ Tofu - $3.50 It was great, had a wee bit of a kick and the tofu bits were much smaller than other places but you still got a lot of them and the consistency overall was nice. I would've liked to see some more mushrooms or larger bits of mushrooms but I'd still consider this dish the standout for my take-out dinner. I will absolutely be back for a large order next time. + Spicy Basil Leaves w/ Tofu (requested extra spicy)- $8.95 It wasn't the greatest looking SBL I've ever gotten and I think that's due in part to the lack of color in the dish. Not a lot of peppers or vegetable variety and it had a more oily, heavy taste to it than I'm used to and veered a bit toward the taste of Chinese food, which is one of my least favorite cuisines as whole. I don't feel like this dish was the best it could be and wasn't a fan of the lack of variety in flavor. It was a bit spicy, but nothing much and certainly not the extra, extra spicy I'd requested. They just opened this month so I have to give them credit for the smooth and swift service I received, but I do think that 2 of my 3 dishes could have been better. I will absolutely be back as their soup options look delightful and I'm pretty sure they do miso in large bowls. Yay! Also, I'm excited as heck to have another option for Thai food near my current housing situation so I feel it's my duty to patronize them and support the cause.

VIP Thai is good, but I don't know if it's in the running as my MVP. The dishes seem pretty standard and what I had struck me more as Chinese than Thai. I know elements of Thai cuisine reflect Chinese cooking because it was brought to the area, but it just didn't seem incredibly authentic. The Crab Rangoon is pretty decent. It has a nice flavor, but it admittedly lacks real crab. As far as I can tell, it had the signature scallions, but they seemed to be chopped larger than normal or else there was another type of vegetable in there. I also ordered the Spicy Thai Basil with Beef and it was very spicy to me, but I found it odd that Jalapeños were in the dish instead of Thai Chilies. The dish itself looked beautiful with all of the different colored Bell Peppers. I might go with a Curry next time. Order the Thai Iced Tea. It was actually the best thing I had. The Iced Tea is very strong and flavorful. I think they might use a little more Condensed Milk or a better quality than other places because it's the best I've had! Service was decent, although a little slow even though there weren't many people there. I was eating alone, so it was kind of nice to watch the large TV playing news and Olympic coverage. It was a bit loud though, so I imagine it would have been annoying if I were trying to have a conversation.

Small restaurant, see you when you visit its mostly take out place. Service is fast, food is good as well.

I live right across from this place and have been sowing to try it and finally got a chance to. I am a huge Asian food and Thai food fan so I was really hoping to luck out and have a great place right by my apartment. After getting some takeout I would say that I got lucky. I really enjoyed what I got from VIP and how fast it was ready. I ordered the crazy noodles with beef which was a huge serving of beef and veggies with wide noodles in a spicy sauce and an order of the tom yum soup with chicken. I can't wait to go back and try this place again and see what else they have to offer. Also make sure to check out their website for specials and coupons like free edamame with your takeout order.

They deliver Thai food to my house. Cucumber Salad and Panang Curry.

The food was good, not great. Regular thai places usually do bigger portions with these kind of price points. Overall, it's probably best to do take out because the service is kind of shotty. It's worth checking out!

This first time we ate here the food was very good! The food had great flavor and I would have recommended it. Second time still good, But tonight the food was very bland and it just tasted like frozen bagged Thai food from a grocery store. I'll not be returning back to this restaurant in the future. I think they lost the original chef from when this place first opened.

Local Thai place - love that we can order online for quick pickup. Good selection of starters (seaweed salad!), and I love the Pad Krapao. Try the taro custard or the black bean sticky rice - good stuff.

I called in a carry out order tonight for dinner. The woman who answered was really nice. We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Rama Sauce Tofu, Crazy Noodle and a Thai Iced Tea (b/c those are my fav). I knew I was going to like the place as soon as she said "OK, see you in 5-10 min" - That's my kind of place! I'm hungry now, not 30 min from now... That's me hangry, not hungry. I was delighted when I got there (we live like 1.25 miles away) and the food was already bagged and ready to go. The place is small but so clean, cozy and friendly. The woman at the front hadn't made my tea yet b/c she didn't want it to melt. How nice! Oh, and get this... They made a small paper rose out of the straw paper. How adorable, right? Fast forward to our family room when we are unloading the bag... I'm delighted b/c the Rama sauce is actually thick! Every Thai restaurant in the burbs does it wrong except this place. It's supposed to be a thick, peanuty goodness. The places we've tried are runny and barely taste like peanut. Well done, VIP. Hubby enjoyed his Crazy Noodle and the Crab Rangoon was perfectly made. Not gross, fingers drenched in oil that you feel like you gained 5 lbs from eating one. Light, crispy and filled to the brim. I am ecstatic this little place is so close to home and that it is so delicious! It is up there with my favorite Thai place in Wrigleyville. Highly suggest you try it if you're in the area. Topper? Coldstone is right next door! If you dine in and want to save room for something else, go grab some ice cream or Starbucks which is two doors down.

Very happy after my first visit here. We were looking for a close by spot after seeing an early film at Cinemark. When we walked in we were their first guest, by the time we left the place was nearly full. Great find here on Yelp. Enjoyed the Tom Yum Shrimp soup and the chicken egg rolls. The Thai-Style Spicy Noodles was one of the Chef Recommendation and was amazing. Seafood Madness and Sesame Chicken were also thoroughly enjoyed by our party. Thai Iced Green Tea was almost a desert, very enjoyable. Server was excellent and he was very helpful with great recommendations. A great hidden gem tucked in by the theatre. I found a $5 off coupon on their menu link, on dine-in orders over $25. Very reasonably priced. Extremely fresh items served promptly. You too will be a fan.

This place never disappoints. Great food with generous portions. Be mindful, their hot is hot! Service is great, they are very nice and attentive. Try the soft shell crabs, phenomenal.

I gave this place a 2nd chance. I am a Pad Thai lover and I ordered it from here last year and it was not good. I usually only get Pad Thai from Thai restaurants so I didn't think I'd be back. Tonight I had a taste for Thai and thought I'd try something else there. I had the Crab Rangoons (the were FANTASTIC) plus the Panang Curry with Brown Rice and Chicken. It was so flavorful and had a great mix of sauce, chicken, broccoli and carrot pieces. I will definitely be going back from this meal again! The 1 star was knocked off because they need to improve their Pad Thai. I see from another recent reviewer that I am not the only one that was not a fan of the Pad Thai.

Pretty disgusting. Shouldve known because when I asked how long it would take they said 5 minutes so I assume it was just heated up in a microwave. Ordered takeout for four. I got the orange chicken.. It was sooooo hard. And bland and the Miso soup so salty. My hubby got pad Thai with tofu. He hated it. A coworker got the pad Thai with chicken... Still gross. The only person who liked their food was my boss who ordered some kind of soup doused with hot sauce. It's so close to home I could walk there but I just don't think so. Not again. Panda express is soooooo much better.

I have ordered carryout and dined in at VIP Thai. Both times I had delicious, fresh food and friendly and fast service. The portion is big, and the food is light and tasty. This has become one of my favorite local restaurants.
(5)Lesa D.
Delicious food! Great prices and speedy service! I usually do take-out and I have never had to wait more than 8 minutes. Portions are great too! Friendly staff!

This is a good thai place in chicago in comparison with the other thai places. Their lunch special is reasonably priced with good portion size. Their spicy is actually really spicy, but otherwise good flavor. I like their curry, plus parking is free.

I recently landed on this Thai place and was very interested to try it out. It's a nice cosy little place for a casual date or dinner. Service was pretty good for the most part. The Thai Tea is awesome and to die for. Papaya salad was pretty good. Very authentic and tasted clean. The beef salad wasn't my favorite but wasn't bad. It wasn't marinated enough but okay. The Tom Yum soup was delicious!!!! My husband had Thai basil and it was awesome. Over all.. We will probably go again.

We've been there several times because it is nearby. The food is decent but not amazing. My curry was lacking veggies. They seem to be understaffed every time we go there. If I have the time, I'll pass. Otherwise, I guess it takes care of my Thai appetite.
(3)Sudharsan R.
Great service, friendly staff and very flavourful food. Their homemade noodles are excellent. The garlic delight is solid!

We ended our day at the Morton Arboretum with dinner here. Perfectly fine, Don't get out this way too often, but if I was in the area I would certainly dine here again if I was needing a Thai fix. Good Thai ice tea. Good presentation of dishes as well. Dangerously close (right next door) to a Coldstone creamery. So not fair. Yes, we went there.
