This is our first visit and the food was overall good. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend the Pad Thai. The beef was good but very small portions for the price. The spring rolls were tasty but had too much cabbage. We will certainly give this another try soon.

1 am on a Sunday night into Monday morning when people need to be up early for work, and they have music louder than any club in the city you can hear from blocks away, and people standing outside yelling and screaming at each other. They have good food, but they are an awful neighbor to have. Zero respect for the community.

If you’ve ever watched the video of the dude who takes a bite of food and then cries because it tastes so good, is exactly how this place made me feel. Everything was SO delicious - I ordered the garlic rice with chicken, the beef basil rolls, and the crab Rangoons. I’m so excited I have leftovers to eat and I seriously cannot wait to try the other dishes. I highly recommend this place!! And it’s not often I leave a review for restaurants

Their menu has more variety beyond just Thai curries and rice/noodle dishes. I got the Kra Prao Moo Krob. It was super good. Also pictured is the classic Tom Yum which was also great. I can't recommend this place more highly.

Very yummy food for an affordable price. Went for lunch and tried the spicy basil fried rice and the garlic noodles along with the spring rolls. The atmosphere is cozy, service great and the place very clean. Surprisingly was almost empty for a late lunch on a weekend. Not a 5 star only coz while the food is yummy, I am not sure if this is authentic Thai. It’s an Americanized version of Thai cuisine. Alcohol is very affordable too and highly recommended if you enjoy Asian cuisine at a budget.

2/24/2024 Sixth (or 7th) Visit: I keeps coming back and exploring different dishes each time! So far everything I tried are delicious- so glad u found this place! First visit: Food was a bit underwhelming… curry was really bland (I had the jungle curry which was supposed to be very spicy) rice was hard, chicken was very tough, Pad See Ew was sooo sweet and portion was small. The only thing I really enjoyed was the fried calamari appetizer. The restaurant was beautiful and clean, service was okay. I will come back for the appetizer tho, and try some new dishes hopefully will taste better :)

Ordered egg rolls and pad thai noodles with beef via grubhub. The noodles were in a big, congealed lump. The beef had a disturbing greyish color. The egg rolls were the best of this order, but a bit oily. Overall pretty disappointing. I won't order from here again.

We had a wonderful dinner at Tac Quick! We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Panang Noodle and the Pad Mee. The Crab Rangoon were some of the best rangoons we’ve had recently and both noodle dishes were flavorful and fresh. The Panang Noodle was a little chunky for me as the pieces of veggie were large and crunchy, but the flavor of the curry was delicious. The restaurant was lively and the small patio was perfect for the weather. Our servers were very helpful and the service was quick. I would eat at Tac Quick again!

I used to love Tac Quick but the quality is in serious decline. Everything is overpriced and quite flavorless. Ordered the Tom Yum soup with pork - it was basically hot water with rubbery, flavorless pork. Unfortunately this was my last time ordering from Tac Quick.

Ordered the basil duck and chicken lettuce wraps. The duck was average and the chicken was so stringy and fatty that you couldn't chew it. I wish they would charge extra per entree and ensure the ingredients are better. I would rather have excellent food than fancy cocktails.

This may very well be my all-time favorite restaurant. It's always unbelievably delicious. I don't visit Chicago as often as I'd like but Tac Quick is absolutely a must stop. Many native Chicagoans don't seem to know about this place but everyone should support this amazing restaurant that hasn't lost any of it's luster despite the neverending pandemic that has lead to severe declines at other restaurants. I ate dinner at Tac Quick two nights in a row and would love to eat there everyday if I lived in Chicago. This is the #1 best restaurant! You can't go wrong here. My advice is visit on an empty stomach and enjoy!

MY FAVORITE THAI RESTAURANT!!! This place is seriously the best! I’ve gotten take out multiple times and everything has always been so delicious! My most recent visit, I dined in with my sister and we sat on their patio with our pup. We had martinis (lychee & sake); Moo ping (chicken skewers), grilled squid, spicy basil fried rice, peanut curry with noodles instead of rice(one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten). For dessert we had some lemon cake, which I will definitely be ordering again the next time I visit! I’ve never ordered food that didn’t taste amazing and the staff is always so sweet! Unfortunately, because the food was so amazing I ate it too quick and forgot to take pictures, but I will post a pic of the pup having an enjoyable time at Tac quick :D

After the very bad experience with another "Thai" place. This was such a pleasant surprise!!! I loved that they have a secret menu and in there was Hainan chicken one of my favorite Thai cuisine dish. They were out lol but I got garlic chicken and my bf got Duck curry, what a delightful meal we had. The garlic chicken was so good, my boyfriend asked me to swap as he enjoyed it a lot. I ate the rest of his duck curry, which had fruit and he is not a fan of fruit in salty dishes. I cleaned the bowl. It was a perfect combination of spice, curry and sweetness. I will go back and try to get the Hainan chicken but won't be mad if I get the curry again. Ok Drinks! Omg Cucumber tini. It was freaking amazing, I had the lychee tini it was good just too sweet for my taste. Good service, good food, good drinks, this is a gem in the neighborhood. Please try I recommend and will take my friend and family when the visit me!

For the most part, food is always good here. I've ordered the pad thai, pad see ewe, khao soi, chicken satay, and larb chicken salad. My order today was NOT good, so I'm wondering if there's a new person in the kitchen. The larb salad tasted awful (not much flavor, but the flavor it did have was not good), and kao soy wasn't cooked properly (chunks of undercooked noodles). Normally this place is great, so I'm gonna pretend this didn't happen.

We had the lunch special Pad Thai with spring rolls, Pad See Ew with egg roll, Banana in Blanket and Thai tea. Everything was great! Could be a little more spicy but that was easy fix with chili paste they gave us. Tea was perfect, just like what I had in Thailand. Pad Thai was very flavorful and had just the right amount of sprouts (some places only give a tiny bit). Pad See Ew was also just like what we had in Thailand, like drunken noodles, super yummy! Definitely coming back, especially with it being the best deals of Thai food in Chicago!

Great Thai spot and one in our regular rotation for takeout. My favorite is the green curry with pork and my wife’s is the spicy stir fried basil (Kra phrao kai yeow ma). The Tom yum is also tasty and great for a winter warm up. Very efficient and easy for takeout despite always being at least one other person picking up food too. Lunch specials are also a great value if you’re working from home on a weekday.

Reasonably priced and quite delicious. The dishes especially the soups preserve the simplicity of the thai cuisine and taste good. Unlike quite a few of the Asian restaurants, the quality and treatment of the meat/protein used is pretty good, not the highest quality like in a star restaurant, but still very good value for money. Recommended.

Went here on 9/13/2020 and their Covid protocols were pretty good! Decently sized outdoor seating, disposable plates/utensils, masks, and sanitizer available. Service was great and the food came out very quickly. We had the spring rolls and Pad See Ew (Drunken Noodles) which were both tasty and decently priced. The noodles were not overwhelming packed with filler veggies which was great! Cocktails were sub $10 and well made. Definitely will return and try other things from the menu.

No Som Tum on a Saturday during lunch...ok, not a big deal but kinda unexpected. Ordered Tom Kha Gai soup w sticky rice and also Larb Gai. The soup tasted like tomato soup - was not rich and creamy. Mushrooms were raw and not soft. The sticky rice was likely a day old - looked like porridge. Inedible / that's a hard thing to screw up. Lastly the Lard Gai was off / served on a bed of spinach - lived in Thailand 6 years. Never had food like this before.

Wife got the Kao Soy and I went with the Jungle Curry. Both were very good. Flavors were great and we ordered online and picked it up after a 25 minute walk. Are it at home and it was still nice and hot. Great flavor. Only reason not 5 stars was I ordered spicy and it feels like it was white guy spicy. Come on, bring the heat next time.

Some people love this place. I don't get it. I think it's fine, but the flavors always seem a little thin. Maybe it's just that the vegetarian dishes aren't their strength.

My serving portion was normal. Not busy when we arrived so our food came within 5 minutes or so. Indoor/outdoor seating available. Good place for kids. Our kids will eat anything and are not picky! Con: BE WARNED: They add a 20% tip automatically to your bill. I didn’t see that on the menu. Misleading business practice if you tell me! That is why I rated them a 3/5.

I've been going here fairly regularly for a couple years now. It's still good, but it's gone a bit downhill, I'm sorry to say--they're cutting a few corners, I think. Here's hoping they turn that around. Still, they're hard to beat in this neighborhood. You should definitely consider ordering off of the "secret menu," which has more interesting choices than you find at a typical American Thai restaurant. They have a full bar with decent beer and wine selections.

THEY ARE NOT BYOB (Thanks a lot Thrillest!). They do have a $10 per bottle charge, so you won't have to throw away your good libations. Pretty disappointed given that this place is featured in magazines and has 4+ stars on Google (read the Yelp reviews because they are more accurate). You probably won't need a reservation (it was not busy on the Friday night I went and my reserved table wasn't too special). I am guessing that is linked to the "changes" they have made in the past year (that is what long-time customers are saying and I wish that I had listened). The food was subpar given this is "authentic thai". Chef Ramsey says to never trust a kitchen with a big menu...well, this is a BIG menu. Jungle curry was not spicy (stingy on the chicken, was not flavorful); Thai Basil Duck was mostly fat and COOOOVERED in soy sauce (also pretty small portion). Service was average. Ambiance was smooth jazz with the ball game on with Thailand action film posters? Yeeeeeeeah...
