Yelper Janice D., who reviewed it on July 8, wrote, "Food was amazing, service was exceptional and the restaurant looked super clean. Papaya salad is oftentimes made too fishy or too limey, but theirs was a perfect balance of flavors that didn't have any one ingredient overwhelming the dish."
2. Thai Terrace
Next up is Arlington Heights' Thai Terrace, situated at 4220 W. Vickery Blvd. With 4.5 stars out of 172 reviews on Yelp, the restaurant has proven to be a local favorite.

Brooke S. said, "I cannot recommend this restaurant enough if you're looking for consistently awesome Thai food! Everything — the egg rolls, the glass noodle salad, pad woon sen, tom kha soup, the green and panang curry (it's loaded with vegetables and they never skimp on the rice) — is super flavorful!"
3. Thai & Fusion Ave
Thai & Fusion Ave, located at 9160 N. Freeway, Suite 400, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the eatery 4.5 stars out of 160 reviews.

Keli F., who reviewed it on July 7, wrote, "Quick, friendly service, plenty of variety on the menu. Got the tom kha, basil fried rice, drunken noodles and the shumai. All were tasty and fresh. The rice was cooked perfectly, not mushy like a lot of places. You can customize your spice level."
