I know this will spark debate, but I wanted to try pineapple with my fried rice, so that's what I did. The flavor of the dish is spot on; it has savory notes from the curry powder, sweetness from the pineapple, and nice, but there is a few aspect of it that I don't enjoy. The pork and chicken were dry and difficult to eat. I just hope I don't get sick because of the one piece of pork that had a sour aftertaste. The pineapple was undoubtedly canned because some of the slices had a strange flavor and some were sweet. Their dessert, which came in two portions of banana sticky rice, is the one thing I enjoy eating. It's a simple but tasty dish made of sticky rice with a fresh banana filling and wrapped in a banana leaves. The sticky rice was fragile and gooey at the same time. The banana filling was tender; it also had an undertone of sweetness. The texture of the bean is somewhat solid.

Best Thai in Des Plaines! Super nice people, great Kee Mao and the most amazing spring rolls. Usually we get this delivered and everything is hot and crispy.

I've ordered from BB previously and the food was okay, but tonight my chicken pad Thai had no sauce, and the chicken was dry and flavorless. We ordered the Shanghai shrimp noodles for my husband and they were subpar, at best. I won't be getting anything from Bangkok Belly again anytime soon.

Food was amazing and quick. Inside pretty plain but prices very reasonable. I have gone back a few times. Staff very welcoming. Near Stan's donuts so dessert is a few steps away.

Absolutely my favorite Thai restaurant, just about anywhere, ever! The owners are lovely, accommodating and friendly people who I look forward to visiting when I come pick up my food. The food is very well spiced and never too greasy. Good hefty (but not grotesque) portions and fair prices. Love Bangkok Belly!

Can I give this place 10 stars? My flight cancelled so I had to spend the night in Chicago. I was craving Tom Yum Soup and my go to app brought up Bangkok Belly. The soup was spiced just right. There were about 10 huge shrimp in it. The chive pancakes were wrapped in foil so they arrived supper crisp. Again, something totally yummy. The heat level works with the sour to create an unforgettable taste. Next I had Nam Sod Salad, an upscale version of Larb. It could have been a little hotter, but it so worked. I almost can't wait to be stuck here again.

Absolutely disgusting, burned pad see ew, The sweet and sour chicken was just straight up pieces of chicken, not even crispy, and totally flavorless. The potstickers were also burned. Totally incomparable to the location on Northwest Highway.

This is a tucked away gem! Great food that is reasonably priced. It's a family-owned business and they are very friendly and personable. You are remembered when you eat there and it feels like home. They do a large take-out service but there is always a nice table to grab if eating in. Did we say the food is amazing? It's amazing. Go and see for yourself. Highly recommended.

not too sure why this place isn't atleast 3.8 stars but pad thai is really good, it's down the street from my house and they give you a good amount for $13. very flavorful and the veggies are fresh.
