We've ordered from Spoon many times at work. Tonight we ordered in at home, got two appetizers and two entrees for $26 total. Estimated time of delivery was 30-45 minutes. Came in just over 15 minutes! Food was hot, big portions. Great flavors. What more could you want?? Highly recommended!

Food's great; Service sucks
By sakomo from Lincoln Square, March 5, 2008

This place is definitely a "yes" for carryout or delivery. The portions are generous for the price (especially in comparison to neighboring Thai restaurants), and the quality of the food is great. BUT, don't bother dining-in - the service sucks! Every one of the four times I've eaten there, either my or one of my lunch/dinner companion's orders arrived not less than 10-15 minutes after everyone at the table had been served.

If you read this, Spoon Thai, get your act together!

not good value for money

The food is good but certainly not the best and is comparable to other casual thai places in the city. Beware of the translated menus which don't have prices. You will be in for a shock when you get your bill.

If you like Thai food, you are not worthy of this little diamond in the rough. This place is for people that LOVE Thai food! Everything from the decor to the Thai coconut ice cream is wonderful. The one downfall is the service. The service/hospitality is great but if it is crowded, it will be a little slow. It is a small price to pay for a wonderful experience.

We ordered delivery from work at 20 minutes before they closed. The food arrived within the time frame stated with no problem. The Pad Thai was really good. Everyone else liked what they ordered too. The prices were cheaper than other places too. Definitely recommend!

I ordered delivery at 5:00 on a weekday; they told me 45 minutes and the food arrived in only 15. The portions are quite large and the food was good. Not the best Thai I've had, but definitely good. I ordered off their website, that doesn't have prices listed, which is strange - it turned out to be reasonably priced. Also strange - no menu was stapled to the bag, so I guess I'll never know the official prices. I will order from there again.

I am a regular at another Thai restaurant just up the street but some good reviews made me want to try Spoon Thai. The food was excellent, the prices are very good but the service was slow and indifferent. I'll try Spoon a few more time to see if the service improves. I also recommend they add brown rice as an option.

Honestly I have never actually eaten IN the restaurant but have ordered delivery many, many times. I can tell you it's the fastest delivery in Chicago. (Duane, give it another try. It had to be a fluke) Cheep food, great prices. My favorates... . Won ton & Tom Ka soup, their crab "langoon" (don't ask me why they call it that) the fish cakes are fantastic also. Oh, and did I say it's cheep?

Do NOT order for delivery...

Do NOT order for delivery from this restaurant. I called and they'd say it would be 45 min to an hour. After an hour and half I called and they said it would be another 15 minutes. After another half hour I called back and they said it would be another 15 minutes!!! I asked to talk to a manager and he said they would send it to me right now. It NEVER showed up. Awful!!!
