“I would say they service was a bit over eager and attentive for my taste but it's not a complaint, it's a noticing thay they are very attentive and caring”
This place was disappointing, we are visiting from California and was in the mood for Pad thia and I was NOT good , it had a horrible after taste.
Mediocre food, small portions and poor customer service from management.
Crab Rangoon was ok but sweet, soup was sweet and crazy noodles had a very strange taste to it.

“This unassuming location belies the treasure within.”
This unassuming location belies the treasure within. The service was so friendly and welcoming and the food was phenomena. I have never had a dish of pad Thai half as good as Bree Thai. Such perfectly balanced flavors and textures. I will be coming back!

“The food was amazing.”
The food was amazing. This will be on my list to eat at again. Full of flavor and we were stuffed when we left. The waiter was so nice and immediately waited on. Our drinks never ran out. They deserve 10 stars. Great job!

“Bree Thai is a lovely little spot with fantastic and flavorful dishes.”
Bree Thai is a lovely little spot with fantastic and flavorful dishes. I was very satisfied with my soup and entree and finished feeling full. The interior is cozy and compact and provides a very social environment with neighboring tables within arms reach. The owners and staff are very friendly and are excellent at providing quality service. I'll definitely be back in the future to try more of the dishes on the menu since the two I had were flawless.

“Mango sticky rice is so good.”
Mango sticky rice is so good! One of my only spots to get Thai tea since it’s so amazing here. The mango sticky had hair but the mangos were good.

“Superb little spot with a very friendly and attentive server.”
Superb little spot with a very friendly and attentive server. Wonderful satay. Curries were maybe a bit too sweet for me. Peanut sauce a little bit sweet. Even Tom kha a bit too sweet. Overall very nice and incredible value for this day and age. Look at this pretty presentation.

“Stopped in here for dinner before picking up a friend from Midway Airport.”
Stopped in here for dinner before picking up a friend from Midway Airport. This Thai food was amazing!! I had the Thai egg rolls, chicken panang Curry and some Thai iced tea . Small restaurant of 6 tables, all full and phone orders coming in like crazy. Every one around me was raving about their food as well. I'll be back for sure !

“I’ve ordered the chicken basil for delivery at work once and loved it.”
I’ve ordered the chicken basil for delivery at work once and loved it! Today I had the opportunity to stop in to pick up a to go order and I was greeted by the owner who was very warm and welcoming. He offered a seat, a glass of water and even remembered (from the phone conversation) to make my husband’s noodles spicy even though I forgot to ask for spicy 😬. I will definitely visit again.

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bree Thai, and I must say it was an absolute delight.”
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bree Thai, and I must say it was an absolute delight! This is what i call a true hidden gem in offers an authentic taste of Thailand that left me craving more. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a cozy Thai oasis. The restaurant's décor and ambiance create a warm and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. Bree Thai's menu is a treasure trove of Thai flavors, it made it hard to choose from but at the end I order the Tom Yum Rice Noodles at Bree Thai, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience! The dish arrived beautifully presented, showcasing a vibrant array of colors and textures. The aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water in anticipation. The rice noodles were perfectly cooked, maintaining their tender yet slightly chewy texture. The generous portion of tender chicken added a satisfying protein element to the dish. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Tom Yum broth. Its balance of tangy, spicy, and savory notes danced on my palate with each spoonful. The broth was rich in flavor, with a delightful kick of heat that was not overpowering. The infusion of aromatic herbs and spices was evident, creating a truly authentic Thai taste. The addition of peanuts provided a delightful crunch, while the bean sprouts contributed a refreshing and crisp element that complemented the dish perfectly. The interplay of flavors and textures made every bite an adventure for the senses. Whether you're a Thai food aficionado or new to the cuisine, Bree Thai is a must-visit. It's a culinary journey to Thailand right in Garfield Ridge. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delightful menu. Bree Thai, for an unforgettable dining experience. You've earned a loyal customer in me!

“A great place to eat.”
A great place to eat. Clean food, casual setting with amazing table side service. When I fly into Chicago, this is where I eat before flying out- only 7 minutes to Midway and a meal I would never regret if it was my last! 😉

“I was not expecting much when friends suggested this place for lunch.”
I was not expecting much when friends suggested this place for lunch. You don't expect good Thai food in a big Mexican area but I was wrong. I got the Thai beef salad and it was so good and refreshing, a big reccomendation for hot summer days. The mango sticky rice was very good too. Coworkers got typical Thai dishes (pad Thai, curry) and we're happy with food. I would say they service was a bit over eager and attentive for my taste but it's not a complaint, it's a noticing thay they are very attentive and caring.
