White Crane Creative Thai and Sushi

“This place was a nice little gem for sushi and Thai food in Forest Park.”

This place was a nice little gem for sushi and Thai food in Forest Park. My sister and I ordered the chicken pad Thai (which was really good) and chicken pad see eiw. Not all Thai restaurants will customize the noodles for their pad see eiw, which is OK because they usually come out fine, but I personally like them a little crispy. The cooks at restaurants that do customize explained to me that all they need to do is pan-fry the noodles a little longer before serving them. White Crane is one that does not customize and, unfortunately, the noodles came out a little too overcooked, some almost mushy - hence the four stars. However, the Tigger maki was AMAZING! There's something about bonito flakes that puts the taste of sushi up another level. Will definitely come back to try other dishes!

“White Crane is truly a hidden gem.”

White Crane is truly a hidden gem! Whether you’re craving perfectly seasoned fried rice or mouthwatering noodles, this spot is always the best choice. The dishes in my photos are my go-tos: the beef teriyaki fried rice and the chicken pad see ew — both fantastic with absolutely no notes. The restaurant has a clean, cozy atmosphere, fresh flavors in every bite, and genuinely friendly service. Highly recommend — 10/10!

“Came to White Crane when the opened at 11 AM for lunch.”

Came to White Crane when the opened at 11 AM for lunch. The service is excellent. Our server was friendly and the food came out very quickly. Ordered Spicy Tuna Maki, Avocado Curry (pictured), Panang Curry and Pad Kee Mao. Everything was absolutely incredible. The curry is a big enough serving that we took half of each home. With drinks, Plum Saki (super yummy) and 2 beers, the meal was about $100. Oh! And we were lucky enough to be treated to an order of egg rolls which were delicious as well. 10/10 would recommend

The food here is extremely good, the service is solid since there was only one person running the shop almost with customer service.. I would definetly come back here again and try different foods and the price is pretty good. Support your local businesses.

“Had the beef fried rice and it was AMAZING.”

Had the beef fried rice and it was AMAZING! Our waiter was an older lady and she was amazing, paitent and understanding! Someone in our party ordered a dish and was not fully satisfied. The food was good but just a bit too flavorful. We attempted to just order a different side for them our waiter insisted that it was no issue to have the dish remade or take off. This was very kind and considerate. She also helped them choose a new dish that they ended up loving. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good Thai/Chinese spot.

“We go to the Naperville location and we Love this place.”

We go to the Naperville location and we Love this place. They offer choices that are not usually on every other Thai restaurant menu including Khao Soi, Khao Mun Gai, and Khao Moo Dang as well as Thai sausage. These remind me of the Northern style Thai dishes that I love when I go there. The sushi is good too although I like ordering the Thai food more when I go. A great place to try different kinds of Thai food.

“This place is hands down the best sushi/Thai restaurant in Oak Park.”

This place is hands down the best sushi/Thai restaurant in Oak Park. Their sushi is always fresh and affordable. The fried rices and pad Thais are also soooo good. Takeout and delivery is always faster than expected. Love this place.

“Our second time and still loved it.”

Our second time and still loved it. Panang curry was my favorite, following by fantastic masaman curry and very good red curry. Sushi is top notch and their crab rations is one reason my family wanted to come back. They even accommodated my request for sweeter and spicier red curry. Highly recommend it.

From the look on the server's face, I wasn't sure if I was being welcomed in or warned to leave, but I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food. I tried something different, and the taste of the soup reminded me of my mother's spaghetti sauce for her Po Man's spaghetti. It was just missing the taste of garlic. I was satisfied with everything & I will be returning soon!

“I love this place.”

I love this place! It’s my favorite sushi place and they also have the best teriyaki fried rice. My only recommendation is to not fill the drinks so much ice. The ice coffee is amazing but too much ice

Love this place. They're Thai. Fried rice is phenomenal. I order it at least twice a month. Their sushi is fantastic and you can customize. It's a little hard to find but it's right off the expressway but I would recommend this place. Their chicken satay also is phenomenal. It's so moist and tender

“I love this place.”

I love this place. This was my first time there and it is now my number one go to Thai place. The staff was so kind and welcoming. I had Thai Fried Rice with chicken . It was a good portion and sooo delicious. I took a good friend of mine there for her birthday lunch to try a new place and we were not disappointed. She ordered Ginger Chicken w/Rice although it was not in the menu. Our server quickly said no problem we can make that dish for you, and they did! It was super delicious! She also ordered a pork appetizer. I didn't try it because I don't eat pork. Our server surprised us with complimentary egg rolls with our lunch.Delicious! Plus they surprised my friend with a delicious slice of cheese cake for her birthday and decorated the plate with raspberries sauce in the shape of trees. It was beautiful. I'm hooked. I plan to go back again this weekend. I totally recommend this place!
