Nice people. Good service. Fresh ingredients.I always order the cashew chicken and I'm always a happy camperwhen it comes. While waiting, a cucumber salad seems perfect. Beer and wineavailable.Reasonably priced. Quiet. Seating includes three booths, and about ten other tables. Also, there's a veritable "sea of free parking" nearby.Best Thai experience on the North Shore. Can Thai food ever be "excellent"? Probably, but Thai Inbox is "very good", regardless.

How did we miss it? In the same off-Waukegan Rd mall that contains Panera Bread and Giordano's (pizza), Jewel Osco et al. It's not a street mall and is situated with ample parking. Very clean, open, inviting seating, tables nicely spaced, in a moderately sized dining area with clear sight of kitchen. The tables were quite clean, set nicely with forks and nicely designed black chopsticks, neatly wrapped...a touch of extra tasteful care and presentation. The decor and floor plan were far superior to many of the hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurants in the area that clearly cater to express food, take out junkies. (Very misleading to characterize the restaurant as a "just a small place in a street mall" IMO! ) Despite some wariness of the wide ranging "Asian" offerings (Chinese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese) I asked the very courteous host a few questions re the cuisine options. I settled on the pad thai (shrimp additional), Thai national dish, which I use as a barometer whenever first dining at a Thai restaurant. The price seemed somewhat on the high side...but well worth it as I estimate the large and savory portion contained ten ample sized shrimp (take home provided a second dinner the next night.) My wife also chose a Thai noodle dish, a Chow fuun green curry, with shrimp. Generous and also destined for a take home meal the next evening. What was surprising was the fast delivery to our table, which did not sacrifice quality of the noodles, nor the dishes. There were five tables occupied, by the way, one with 7 folks and another with four, largely Asian, on a Sunday evening. Each table was taking its time with casual, friendly sharing of food and discourse. There was a brisk but moderate take-out service, unobtrusive at the counter near the entrance. Having sought unsuccessfully to find a local Thai restaurant of superior quality, it was a pleasant find. Look forward to trying other of their pan-Asian meals!

This little restaurant is a real gem. The food is delicious and it is priced right (inexpensively). The soups and salads are delicious, as are the entrees. It is a comfortable place, not fancy, but functional- just like the food-not fancy, but yummy.

Wonder if they have changed owner, management or cook since the earlier reviews were posted. Our meal was aggressively mediocre. Will not return.

Where do I start? We went on a snowy night, wanting somewhere close to home. We had seen repeated Groupons for Rosded (we did not have one) but figured we would give it a try because we love Thai food. We were the only customers when we got there but it still took forever for the host/waitress to take our order. When she did, she was very cold and rude. I watched her go back to the register area of the restaurant, explain our order to the women who appeared to be the cook (I won't give her the satisfaction of the title "chef"), who started to argue with the host about something and then go angrily to the kitchen. We had ordered fried Shu Mai, Special Spring Rolls, and Chicken Pot Stickers as appetizers. We ordered Pad Thai and Five Star Chicken. While waiting for our food, several men came in, apparently friends (?) of the owners, went to a booth with one of the owners and they kept turning around and glaring at us - very disconcerting. Our appetizers arrived in good time but the fried Shu Mai was tasteless and very doughy. The pot stickers were a bit better but nothing special. The spring rolls were very greasy and when I broke one in half, there was a long, black hair in it. I made a terrible face, wrapped it in a napkin, and before i could say anything, the host, who apparently had been watching, ran over and grabbed the plate away without saying anything, but made a very mean face at me. She brought out the Pad Thai and the noodles were one big overcooked lump. The Five Star Chicken, decent sauce but very little food on the plate. Honestly, after the hair in the Spring Roll, I was ready to leave. Oh, and the atmosphere? Just before leaving, another couple came in, sat down in the booth next to us, and proceeded to take turns playing (very loudly) inappropriate rap song on their phones. My date insisted on paying the bill even thought we had plenty of reasons not to. Needless to say, we will NOT be back and highly recommend that you pass this place over.
