Green Leaf Thai Cuisine

“We had a great experience here.”

We had a great experience here. We got the Satay, green curry and a couple other things. Everything was great. Fast and efficient service as you would expect. I love that it's a BYOB place with a liquor store right next door, so convenient. We'll be coming back again for sure.

“I loved Green Leaf.”

I loved Green Leaf! The menu features so much food that usually aren’t found on US menus…like my absolute favorite, miang sa-wan! The restaurant is beautiful inside too.

“A wonderful and charming Thai restaurant tucked away in Lincoln Square just under the Red Line Western Avenue stop.”

A wonderful and charming Thai restaurant tucked away in Lincoln Square just under the Red Line Western Avenue stop. The pad see ew, or stir fried soy sauce noodles, with chicken or beef always pleases. The crab rangoons and egg rolls make for great starters. Great service and for a great price! Also open earlier than most Thai places for lunch!

“This restaurant is wonderful.”

This restaurant is wonderful! The food tastes very authentic and is high quality. The environment of the restaurant is warm and welcoming. I’ve tried a few of their soups and noodles dishes and highly recommend the Kao Soi (not pictured) and the Tom kha!

“Very nice atmosphere with a friendly yet polite staff.”

Very nice atmosphere with a friendly yet polite staff. The food was good and a nice selection of vegetarian friendly options. Will visit again! I should say though that it did feel weird eating Asian food without chopsticks.

“Back in 1995 I had my first khao soy at this Thai place in OakBrooks shopping mall.”

Back in 1995 I had my first khao soy at this Thai place in OakBrooks shopping mall. Since then ive been looking for khao soy that is as close to that one and I finally found it!! The curry is perfectly spiced with heat and not too soupy complimented with both crispy and wet noodles. This is how i remember it. This is a no-frills thai resto with great flavors and reasonable price points. Yes there are many thai places in Chicago that have better locations but you will pay a bit more and get less food. What is not compromised here is taste!!

“This place is nothing but PERFECTION.”

This place is nothing but PERFECTION. Not only did the atmosphere make me feel at home, the food itself was incredible. Everything from the appetizers, main dish, dessert, and drinks were made with love and talent. Great place to take anyone!!!! Wish I could give a 10 STAR rating.

This is such a great Thai restaurant for a few reasons: excellent, fresh, flavorful dishes that have pretty nuances like a Hibiscus flower garnish or little carrots cut into flowers. Their Tom YUM KAI soup is outstanding, good for 3-4 people to share. One of my favorites in the Pad Praw Keow- ground chicken and fresh basil with peppers. Sauce is delicious- not too sweet or too salty. Just perfect. Also I dined in last night, and felt very comfortable dining in despite it being the pandemic. The hostess checked our vaccination cards and IDs. I saw her do that with everyone who came in. Tables were spaced out appropriately too. Finally service is great- got seated right away, waters were served and orders taken within a few minutes. We ordered all dishes at once but appetizers, salad and entrees were spaced out so we didn’t feel rushed. Definitely returning for the amazing food!!! Reasonable prices too, average entree was like $10-12, not too bad for lots of fresh amazing food!
