P Dern Thai Kitchen, Niles, IL — under-the-radar thai in Niles. The recipes feel handed down, not invented. "The satay was 5 sticks and cooked really well with a crispy exterior and juicy/tender interior" — Daniel

Next level Thai food and it's in a food court. I've been here so many times, it never dissapoints.

Went there on a whim once and came back due to the food quality. My favorite is the beef pad thai. I like their other dishes as well. They are fresh, fragrant and taste good.

We’ve only been once but we’re already convinced! The tom leng (sour and spicy pork bone soup) is sooo good—rich and balanced but not heavy at all—and the woman who takes the orders is really kind. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

This place has become my favorite restaurant, the most authentic Thai food I’ve ever had, the price is super affordable, it’s a food court so you should not expect high quality of service and customers should be cleaning up your own table after eating as a courtesy, my favorite dish is the papaya salad, some must try dishes are: tiger cry, pork hide sun, moo yang.

In the food court of the supermarket. Got the chicken satay, tiger cry, and basil crispy pork belly with egg. The satay was 5 sticks and cooked really well with a crispy exterior and juicy/tender interior. The tiger cry steak sauce was on the sweeter side (which i liked). It didn't come with rice so bought some afterwards. The basil crispy pork belly was great, got mild spicy and it was the right amount for me (I like spicy food). Def would come back again when I'm in town.

Here is a hidden gem. I was just checking out this grocery store when I found P Dern Thai in the food court, so I had to try them after shopping. Impressive menu to choose from and the Basil Crispy Pork over rice with eggs spot on as if you were in Thailand. I just might shop at Park to Shop more often just to eat here!

Authentic Thai food If you want to eat Thai food like local people, I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s located in the food court inside Park to shop grocery store on Milwaukee Ave. The restaurant offers variety food such as local northern food, noodles and etc. We have been here so many times. We always try different noodle dishes but one of the most delicious noodle dishes is Boat noodles. We orders every single time!! Tom Yum noodle is also tasty. The portion is big and the price is reasonable.
