 

 Everyone tries the Tiger Cry - and it does not disappoint. The staff is great and I always enjoy Opart. They get busy on weekends, so if your are looking for quiet, get take out or find a less popular restaurant.
Believe me, you will not find better Thai in Chicago (though Sticky Rice use to be pretty tasty). BTW, if you are ever in Thailand, try their restaurant "Chicago".
Happy eating!

Happy eating! This place is in a location where you have PLENTY of thai places to choose from.  Overall, I'd say this one has the best and most authentic food.  Unfortunately, the service is TERRIBLE.  The people who work there are for the most part unhelpful, and several are downright rude.  It almost seems like they don't even care if you give them your business or not.  My advice:  don't miss out on the gre...

 My husband and I have been dining there regularly or getting carry-out for the last 17 years.  Great food??? though service rather snobby, chilly to cold.  Better to order out. Portions a tad small for the money.  Good shu-mai, satay and Pad prik chicken. Very put-off by the service. I have to wonder how they keep an in-house clientelle at this rate...

 To me, there are very few places in Chicago that offer "good" Thai cuisine.  Some places I've seen offer you a box of noodles or rice, throw in some meat and vegetables and sauce (along with a almost a half a cup of oil), and them calling it Thai food.  It's NOT the case with this place.  I've been going here since 98 when I was taking class from the "Martial Arts" school down the street and the ...

Horrible food and if possible even worse service.  This was not our first or second experience there ... We ordered carryout from Opart Thai House last night.  The food (tofu satay, Pad Kra Praow Lard Khao with pork, and Pad Kratiam Prik Thai) were delicious, well seasoned and very flavorful.  However, the entree portions were very small, the Pad Kratiam Prik Thai especially -- only about 10 shrimp in the whole container (the serving didn't even cover the bottom of the container!).  And to charge ex...

used to be good food for the money but now- they serve you haf the size portion....  not going to go back there again. I was just there last weekend after not going for a few months, and I was left wondering what happened. The food was still very tasty; however, it wasn't what it used to be. Pad Thai used to be a heaping bowl with all the different components in each corner, waiting for you to mix them all up. But now, they were sort of all smooshed together on the side of a smaller plate. Now, the portion size n...

The food has been variable over the last few months and, more recently, all of the staff seemed to have changed despite the waitress saying that the chef has been with the restaurant ever since it first opened.  I suspect the restaurant may have changed hands which is a shame as, although still good, not a p...

I got pad thai for carry out, and it was great! The noodles were the thin kind, though, so don't go expecting thick noodles like they offer at other stores. Still, it was very tasty, a good mix of seasonings, meat and veggies. Looked very upscale inside, nice place to go on a date or with friends.

The food is great, the people are friendly, and the prices are just right!
Moved out of town a few years ago, and Opart is one of the first places I hit when I come back to visit.. The food is great, the people are friendly, and the prices are just right! although a bit far from downtown but worth the trip. we will definitely come back. the hot and sour soup was fabulous, the curry and pad thai were also great. we enjoyed eating here. The wine store 2 stores down also has a friendly owner that gives free advise on what wine to choose.

Hands down the best Thai in the city, I live in river north and make the drive b/c everything in the city is subpar.

The food at this restaurant can be spicy for certain patrons who are not exposed to eating spicy. However, if you inform the waiter beforehand, it could be accommodated. Food, overall, is good but service at times could be slow. The wait staff is friendly.

The food is great and a testament to the restaurant being in business for 11+ years.  While the atmosphere is a bit dated, you can't beat the price and the BYOB.  The liquor store to two doors down!   Service is almost always great and the food arrives quickly and hot.  I recommend the Moo-Ping...   Yum....!  Please expand downtown!

BYOB. . . this place is simply the best Thai food in town. . . decor is simple - no frills. . . Hands down...this is one of the best Thai restaurants in the country. The appetizers are made with very fresh ingredients. The sauces are homemade. Most of all, the kids love the blend of flavors as much as the adults, making this a wonderful place to expose the kids to new cultures. It's a neighborhood restaurant with a family feel.

The food is great and the service is consistently good. right so there is no ambience bit who cares when the food is this good?! always hot and fresh also when you ask for spicy you get spicy so if you cant take it go for mild. the namsod and seafood soup are extra spicy, so good for those cold winter nights. have been to many thai places this is consistently yummy
