“The food here is so delicious! The glass noodle soup is the best in the city. The service is solid and the ambiance is adorable.”
“Absolutely delicious fresh ingredients combined into beautiful traditional dishes. Have come here for multiple special occasions with friends and family and they are hooked! Inside dining is so cozy, and staff is wonderful.”
“Food was exquisite! I highly recommend this place. Very unique and delicious dishes. Our server was very pleasant and she actually recommended the Khao Soi to us, which we enjoyed very much. We ordered medium level of spicy and it was perfect. The mango drink was tasty and refreshing. And the cherry on top was the mango with sticky rice. Will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu.”
“Best Thai food in Chicago. It had been a minute since my last visit, and I forgot how good everything is. Our go‑tos are always the Panang Curry and the Pad Kee Mao with tofu—both were delicious. Tried a couple drinks too: the Lychee Green Popping Tea was really refreshing, but the Mango Aloha tasted more milky than mango, so not my fave. Love all the greenery decoration too”
“stumbled upon the Oliang because i was originally suppose to check out Thai Me Up Cafe but they weren’t open until 4pm on a Tuesday. i ordered the Pad See Ew, Thai Tea, and Mango Aloha. The Pad See Ew was flavorful, vegetables were well seasoned, and Thai tea was refreshing! Compared to other thai places i’ve been the food felt very authentic! i’ll have to come back to try their pad thai next time! 😋”
“Oliang was THE BEST Thai food I have had in Chicago. The basil fried rice, the pad thai, and the Khao soi were so good. The mango sticky rice was to DIE for, and the Thai tea was sooo good, they even modified it to make it less sweet. The staff was so friendly too, really made it such a good experience.”
“shit was straight gas. flavor was amazing and had the best vibes.”
“Food is super delicious & service was great. We got the fried duck curry and pa ka prow, and it did not disappoint. Veda was our waitress and she was amazing! She was super helpful with the food recommendations and she was super attentive. Definitely will come back for the duck curry.”
“The service was amazing. Olivia and Tee were extremely welcoming and warm, and I was served my mango drink pretty much instantly. The drink was SO yummy and the ambiance was so homey.”
“I absolutely love this establishment. The ambiance is relaxing and so beautiful with all the plants. The hanging ivy’s are so impressive and clearly very well loved. The special drinks selection is amazing, I highly recommend cha yen (aka Thai iced tea). Sooooo yummy and looks exactly like the photo on menu. Nadia, our server, was absolutely amazing. Her service was impeccable thorough and very informative. She was patient, sweet and kind. I’m a plant lover and can be annoying but she was so patient and knowledgeable. 10/10 highly recommend.”
