“What an incredible gem in Lincoln park. Everything from the ambiance, to the service, to the taste of the food was incredible from start to finish. The savory puffs are an absolute must to try, and everything that we ordered was delicious. My wife is Thai and we have very high standards for the taste and quality of Thai food, and we were completely blown away by Madame Puffs & Thai Bistro! Easily one of the best Thai restaurants in entire USA, and an absolute gem in Chicago.”

“This restaurant is amazing, everything from the decor to the ambience and especially the food. Speaking of the food, it was phenomenal. This was by far hands down the best Thai food I have ever had.”
“I came here last Friday with my family and I couldn’t recommend this place more. I ordered the fried calamari and the clay pot river prawn with glass noodles, and both were outstanding. The calamari was perfectly crispy without being heavy or greasy, and the portion was generous, it was easily some of the best seafood I’ve had in Chicago, you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The atmosphere really stood out as well, we chose to sit in the newer garden-themed room and it was beautiful. The soft music, the sound of the water fountain combined with the greenery along the walls and ceiling created a relaxing very relaxing environment. I also noticed the dining room closer to the entrance, and If I came back with just my girlfriend it would be perfect for a date night, it's more cozy and narrow with dim intimate lighting and the seats looked very comfortable. The service was excellent across the board. I’m not very familiar with Thai food, but our waitress was incredibly helpful and patient when explaining dishes and making recommendations. I’d definitely come back, Great food and a great atmosphere.”
“I recently visited Madame Puffs and Thai Bistro for their Valentine’s Specialty with my friends, and it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. We ordered Salmon Snow, Shrimp Appetizer, Thai Pork Belly, Stewed Pork Leg, and Shrimp Paste Fried Rice and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The Salmon Snow was light and refreshing, the shrimp appetizer was perfectly cooked, and the Thai Pork Belly was rich and satisfying. The Stewed Pork Leg was tender and comforting, and the Shrimp Paste Fried Rice had that authentic Thai taste that really brought everything together. The place itself is decorated so romantically, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion. The atmosphere feels warm and intimate, making it great for couples or even a cozy night out with friends. On top of that, the service was incredibly caring and attentive. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of the whole evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Thai food in a romantic setting!”
“Top-tier Thai food! The shrimp paste fried rice is a must-try. Fast service, friendly staff, and great value for the quality. 5 stars!”
“Very nice experience with Madame Puff Love all the foods and services”
“My partner treated me to food at Madame Puffs and Thai Bistro and it was worth every penny!! We got the mixed veggie and pineapple puffs which were both so good. The puffs were so flaky and so flavorful. We also got the Moo Hung Phuket off of the winter seasonal menu and it was absolutely delicious! The pork was so tender and the sauce was so well balanced - being both savory and sweet. And the blue jasmine rice was so cool and yummy! Will definitely be returning!”
