Chao Thai is a highly recommended 'gem' in Elmhurst known for standout dishes like crispy pork with water spinach and coconut shrimp soup. This authentic Thai spot offers a flavorful dining experience but operates strictly as a cash-only establishment.

Viewer opinions on Chao Thai are currently divided, as a recent change in ownership has led some to seek out competitors while others still view it as an underrated gem. Meanwhile, Maxi's Noodle has emerged as a crowd favorite, earning high praise for its standout wontons and chili oil.

  • Order the crispy pork with water spinach and coconut shrimp soup.
  • Bring cash as the restaurant does not accept credit cards.
  • Be aware that recent ownership changes have polarized long-time fans.
  • Consider nearby Maxi's Noodle if you prefer highly-praised wontons and chili oil.
