We tried Chai's at the Schaumburg Septemberfest. Best we Crab Rangoon we ever had! Since we live in Schaumburg, we're definitely planning a night to visit Chai's in Chicago. It will be well worth the drive. Thank you!

When in Chicago, we always like to try various Thai places and this time we had a late lunch at Chai's. The service was really nice and had great conversation with the waitress. We ordered a California roll for an appetizer and the salmon curry dish for both of us. The California roll was okay. We ordered jasmine tea and the teapot was refilled when needed. The salmon curry dish came and the salmon was still raw in the inside. I told the waitress, she apologized and had it finish cooking. Even with the hiccup of the salmon not being cooked enough the first time, when it was fully cooked and brought the second time it was delicious. The jasmine rice went nicely with it. But I will say that the cabbage could have been fresher. All in all, the location was convenient for where we were, the waitress was great, and the taste of the dish was good but minus two stars for the attention to detail for the salmon and vegetables.

Chai's Asian Bistro not only had clean, great tasting food, however the service was incredible. I walked in and was treated like a friend of theirs. It's a small quaint place and loved the ambiance. I ordered the basil wontons which was very different than what I typically order at a Thai place. It was really really good and unique. I also ordered the fried rice and the flavor was awesome.

This tiny storefront has always done a brisk business, both dine-in and to-go. Though limited to carryout and delivery these days, the flame continues to glow under their woks. I attempted to order online, but after entering all of the requisite info and clicking "place order" ... BOING! Error message! Oh, how I hate when this happens! Unable to resolve it, I ended up calling the restaurant. It turns out that several people were trying to order online at the same time, overwhelming their system.About 30 minutes later, the restaurant called; our order was ready for pickup. Chai's is just five minutes away and the food was still reasonably hot when we put it on the kitchen table. Our meal began with two appetizers, chive dumplings and pot stickers. These were nicely crisped and the fillings were delectable. The accompanying soy-based sweet & sour hot sauce is addictive.My Missus' cashew chicken entrée fell short of her expectations, perhaps because it was a different interpretation of the Cantonese-American classic. The sauce was watery, but the veggies were crisp and not overcooked. I was very satisfied with my Pad Woon Sen with chicken. Entrees include white rice, but for $1 additional we substituted brown rice. The portions are not huge but the prices are very reasonable.

It's been awhile since I've been here. With Covid, we decided to get carry out. It's still just as solid as eight years ago. One new surprise is that if you want really good sushi and not break the bank, this is the place for you. As I mentioned, the sushi tonight was phenomenal. The volcano roll and Philly Roll were really great! We also liked the angel wings as a good appetizer. I got the garlic chicken and the rice soup. Both were ok, but didn't wow me. Still, with so many places on the verge of closing, it's nice to support a local restaurant. I can say that this is a hidden gem of Sauganash. If you are in the area, stop on by!

It was my first time trying this restaurant. I ordered the pad thai with beef, spicy salmon deluxe, and lime chicken.Everything was delicious especially the lime chicken! It's super crispy and juicy. The lime sauce that comes with it is amazing. Will come back again.

I was expecting more then I bargained for, very disappointed with the food I selected.16 bucks for chive potstickers, thai tea, and tom kha soup that ended up in the trash is very disappointing. I do believe this place may have some quality food just not what I selected. It has many good reviews for it to be a bust.

Pad Thai was grey in color, and had relatively no flavor. Tasted like noodles that marinated in some dirty sock water for a day. Don't get me wrong, I love pad Thai with that fishy tangy sweet powerful flavor. This wasn't good fishy tangy, it was funky in an unappetizing way. Whatever "sauce" used wasn't even strong in flavor either, it was just a faintly bad taste. I'm used to pad Thai being a bright orangey brown, and the pictures looked promising! What got delivered was one large grey brick of compressed noodles in a murky watery puddle at the bottom. Ended up in the garbage, which is saying something because I was starving. Thankfully I ordered chicken satay and a few other things that tasted great, they just really missed the mark with the pad Thai. Hoping it was an isolated incident but scared to give it another try and waste my money.
