Snail Thai Cuisine — solid, no-fuss thai in Hyde Park. Order the Pad Thai. K M: "so many layers of flavor, the duck was tender and plentiful"

“I told him my dietary needs and was very willing to work with me and was able to direct me to several options”
The Snail has been a staple in our home for over 10 years.
Absolutely delicious. We always get noodles and the pineapple curry. The soups are amazing too!
The kindest staff with the best Thai food I’ve ever had.
Nice ambiance Good service and The food is great.
The proprietor of this establishment profiled me with the stereotype of a dirty black woman.
My wife and I thought the food was excellent. The staff was very friendly as well. Too bad we are just visiting the area.

Literally the best Thai food I've ever had, Thai tea is phenomenal, the hot ginger tea my friend has also tastes comforting and soothing in this cold weather. We got Tomkha Gai soups, my friend got the cucumber salad and I got Pad See Ew, all excellent and flavorful, the environment was very lush and relaxing which makes our meal even more delicious. The service was excellent too! I feel so welcomed here. Highly recommend!

A charming little restaurant, and I got to gaze at this gorgeous stained glass while lunching! Many vegetarian options. I had a bowl of tom yum that was replete with colorful veggies, and the spring rolls were true (not fried). The staff are attentive and so polite.

“DELICIOUS! My friend and I were looking for a restaurant close to the Museum of Science and...”
DELICIOUS! My friend and I were looking for a restaurant close to the Museum of Science and Industry and this gem popped up on the map. It was less than a 10 minute walk from the museum. We stopped in close to 2:30pm and it was empty. But by the time we left around 3:15pm, the tables were getting filled up on one side. I tried the Bangkok and Snail noodle dishes. My friend also had the Bangkok noodles and a mango bubble smoothie. All of it was incredible! I would order everything again. The snail noodle was a bit more vinegary than I expected, but I’d still eat it again. My only regret was not getting a bubble smoothie myself. Service was fast and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I hope to come back. 😀

“Great little Thai place.”
Great little Thai place! I had the green duck curry and it was amazing. The spices were wonderful and the dish had a bit of spice as well. Washed it all down with a delicious Thai tea. The staff was friendly and the food came relatively fast. If you love Thai food, or if you are looking for something new, I would highly recommend this place.

I ordered a dish I've never had here, or before: Yum Nua Beet Salad. It's so good! It's also a nice alternative if you are avoiding carbs as I am. I also got the Green Tea Bubble Tea for old times sake
