Three of us went their tonight. We all had excellent meals at this fine establishment. The service was outstanding, our beverages were always full. We even had the owner introduce, herself to us. She was greeting every table on her restaurant. It was a very nice evening for us in Oak Park. Thanks

Thai is rarely my first choice for Asian cuisine but Yum Thai moves it up the list! We each ordered a variation of chicken. Each had a fresh, distinctive flavor twist - sweet peanut sauce, vibrant orange or a savory crunch.My wife loved her catfish dish and the pad thai.Very friendly service all at a fair price!

I had taken jewelry-making lessons previously at Briolette Beads across the street from the restaurant, and the shop had recommended Bua Hana as a good place to get sushi. So before my recent class, I stopped in Bua Hana and was pleasantly surprised to catch one of its Monday-Thursday, 4 p.m.-6 p.m. happy hours. That meant I could choose a maki sushi dish for only $4. I put in my order for a spicy sake (salmon) maki sushi and was presented with a hefty plate of six pieces bursting with fresh salmon and scallions, incredible spicy mayo sauce and great taste. It was so good, I ordered another! During happy hour, there is a choice of about five different makis: cali, spicy tuna, spicy maki and two others which escape my memory.The resturant itself is medium size and beautifully decorated. I believe Kirin beer is also discounted during happy hour, though I didn't drink any. I am a goma-ae fan and like to try this appetizer at every Japanese restaurant I visit. I ordered it off the regular menu, but was disappointed in the goma-ae sauce. Too sweet and with a cloying coconut flavor, although the establishment assured me that no coconut went into the recipe. Otherwise, it was a fantastic experience, with a very helpful server. It's a new favored spot I will visit again and recommend to friends and fellow jewelry crafters!

4. Thai Time Restaurant
Reviewed By Art J
Food Was "OK" at best. The Beef Green Curry was delicious and spicy just like in Thailand which very few Thai Restaurants try to do since Most Westerners (AKA Americans) cannot handle the spiciness of what Native Thai Taste or their tongues can handle for hot. Why I gave it 3 stars is because their Chicken Tom Kha soup had like a powdery garnish that I did not like appearance wise. It tasted OK for Tom Kha but was disturbed by this powder since this was the 1st time I saw Tom Kha appeared this way from a Thai restaurant. The Chicken Satay was great but they did not give enough cucumber as a garnish I think . Interesting that they use Black Dishes and Bowls since I can see how clean or how dirty the dishes we're. Another reason was that I was not given enough service for water since the Thai food was spicy as well as my Thai Ice Tea coming later. The desert was delicious too having the Thai custard drenched in hot chocolate. This was the 2nd time I've been here so I was a little disappointed this time at the service.

Top notch food. Were there on a Saturday night. We shared a large Tom Yum with shrimp and a "clay pot" bowl with glass noodles. The restaurant was super busy but they were very attentive and brought us a beverage while we were waiting for our table. Service was great as was the food. We were watching what people around us were eating and it all looked good. Fish, chicken, beef, seafood - I'm pretty sure you cant go wrong with Bodhi!!!
