“Tusk is a cherished restaurant for my brother and his family so I have had their food in take out...”
Tusk is a cherished restaurant for my brother and his family so I have had their food in take out form a couple of times before but back in January was the first time I dined in at the restaurant. It’s a cozy byob spot with a large menu offering a variety of Thai dishes. We had a big group of 10 people that my brother called ahead for and I have to say that I was pretty surprised they were able to accommodate us on a Friday night given how busy it was throughout our time there. The staff was on it all night so the service was very smooth from appetizers all the way to dessert. I was happy to be able to go with such a large group as we got to sample a bunch of things. For appetizers alone we shared orders of summer rolls, chicken satay, potstickers, money bags, gyo, cucumber salad and the lettuce wraps. For an entree I ordered the Koong Kra Tiem which came with big jumbo shrimp and was really savory. The steamed vegetables were a little bland but wiping up the extra sauce from the shrimp fixed that. Other notable dishes were the basil beef stir fry my dad got and the Green Fire chicken and Thai fried rice my brothers ordered. I really appreciate what Tusk offers in terms of food but what has made them stand out is their commitment to service and how kind they are. I’m sure my family and I will be looking forward to enjoying a meal from their restaurant again soon.

Wow, every time I come here I find new cuisine. That is absolutely insane. The hot pot soups not only are they inexpensive but men are they feeling?

“This is a wonderful little Thai restaurant located near the Fox River in Batavia Illinois.”
This is a wonderful little Thai restaurant located near the Fox River in Batavia Illinois. I've been visiting Tusk Thai for many years and has never disappointed me. The food is very authentic with my favorite being NumSod, larb and their Tom yum.

“Personalized service.”
Personalized service. Chrysanthemum tea had the right floral notes without too much sweet. Panang noodles was spicy and tasty. The Tom Kar soup with coconut broth was light and delicious. The basil fried rice was made just right. They were so busy that they ran out of fried ice cream but maybe next time.

“What an absolute treat.”
What an absolute treat. It's in a quaint location right near downtown Batavia. The food was great. I ordered a Thai Iced coffee, which I've never had before but would get again.I had the green chicken curry for my entree, and it was easily some of the best I've had and had the perfect amount of spice. The service was great as well. It is a BYOB spot, so don't forget some booze if that's your thing. They do take reservations, and securing them is probably a good idea with how popular the restaurant is with locals.
