Very disappointed. We were really looking forward to trying this place, but everything we ordered was a huge letdown. The beef was extremely salty — there was no flavor besides salt. The Tom Yum soup didn’t taste authentic at all; it seemed like they just added soy sauce instead of using the real ingredients. It was honestly unpleasant. We also tried the crab and shrimp puffs with cheese, and they were just as bad — greasy, overcooked, and bland inside. Nothing we ordered tasted good. Definitely not worth the money or the hype. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who actually enjoys good food.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I went to Thai Buri for the first time back in December 20, 2024 while looking for Thai food near work. Inside is clean and simple. When I arrived, they brought out a chicken and cilantro soup with a crab rangoon looking item as a complimentary. These were so tasty! They have great lunch specials. My bf and I tried the chicken pad Thai and pad kee mao with beef. Good portions, great prices. We finished it off with a mango and sweet sticky rice for dessert. I love places that have this dessert. Service was quick and food came out fast. It's a solid and comforting Thai spot in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get their food. I'd go back if I was in the area.

I randomly stopped by this Thai restaurant while passing by on Lake Cook Rd and it was excellent! Everything I ordered was delivered hot and was so tasty. I’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants and this joint is among the best. I ordered the chicken egg rolls and crab rangoon, and they were all fried perfectly. I also ordered the red curry chicken and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be back even though it is a little bit of a drive.
