The stars are only a reflection of disappointment in the food. The staff was very nice even made chicken pho special when they usually only serve beef. We just moved here and were accustomed to very good pho. We expected a difference but I got pho for my husband because wasnt feeling good, however he was unable to eat it because of the extremely salty broth and lack of any vegetables which might have helped subdue Some of that salt. There was 2 tiny sprigs of cooked basil and cooked bean sprouts wth no plum sauce or siracha sauce. So we wont be going there again. Very nice but i paid 11$ for a big bowl of salty broth with no vegetables and not the traditional pho noodles either.

Very poor service. I was seated then had to wait for what seemed like forever for someone to come and take a drink order. Not even an acknowledgement. I ordered a hot tea and egg rolls. After about 5 minutes I asked how long the tea would take. The servers response was rude and we almost walked out. Husband calmed me down and I ordered chicken panang and asked to add vegetables. When my food came it was vegetable panang no chicken. No apology or anything. Food is great sad that the service is so poor.

At first, loved this place. Then quickly realized that they dont care and are imitating Bloomington Thai House "the original". They lied to my wife and made her wait an additional 20 mins for food saying I had just called it in. She showed up exactly when they said to show up then lied about the wait time. Extremely unprofessional, when I called to complain, they acted like they could care less. We will be going to Bloomington Thai House from now on... they are way better anyway. #gowiththeoriginal

Ive been to Bonafide Thai a couple of times and each time have returned back gastronomically all satiated. I am a big fan of Thai cuisine and have eaten good Thai food in various cities in the US and Europe. This place is at par with the best Thai food elsewhere. Definitely recommend it. I am happy that I have a place in Bloomington Normal where I can go without any doubt and eat my favourite cuisine.

I literally cannot move on from the pineapple fried rice at this place. I cant remember the last time I ordered something else off their extensive menu. Its actually a little frustrating for me because theres so much I want to try, but I cant move past this one delicious dish because its SO good!!! You must try this place!

Its one of best Thai Restaurant in Bloomington, IL. Food, Service and ambience is awesome :) Our favorite server is neth, she is very attentive n knows the what customer needs. We love this place, wish they could carry more collection of wine and liquor. However, its one of the best Thai restaurant in town to visit.

We are quite inexperienced with Thai food so we were a little nervous trying this place out, but the reviews do not lie. The atmosphere is great, great music, quiet and good for conversation, amazing server. And food was out of this world! Stir fried broccoli is a winner. Definitely would recommend!

I got the pad prik king. I asked for it as spicy as they could make it. It was very mild. It was also very sweet. In fact several people at my table complained of their dishes being too sweet. The gyoza (an odd item to find at a Thai restaurant) were nice. The service is good.

Excellent food, tender chicken, my curry fried rice had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. Prompt service. The restaurant is well lit and quiet enough to have a conversation. The Wall mural is nice. Probably the best in the area.

I come here frequently and everytime, they have issues with brining everyones food at the same time!?!? Not sure what the deal is but any other "great" restaurant everyone at your table gets their food at the same time!!!

The place was very neat and well decorated. It made the mood very nice. The food was delicious! My husband and I had the Pad Thai with Chicken, Pepper Steak, and the Puffs. We enjoyed ourselves and will return soon!

Friendly staff and great food. My dad and I come here whenever we get the chance. They are accommodating if my vegetarian need. The portions will leave you full or with a second meal.

Great Thai food! I had the Tom Thumb soup bowl and my wife had the Cashew Chicken. The soup was very flavorful and had the right amount of spice. My wife loves their Wonton soup.

Great food! Had an awesome experience, our server was very helpful and knowledgeable of the Thai cuisine and had lots of tips on how to pair dishes with your pallette.

Service was good. Got the Pad Thai, it wasnt bad but it was average quality. Then I also got the Beef Pho, it was a little bland, average also.

Poor service. They dont know what to do with long lines of customers waiting for a table so they just choose to ignore everyone.

Food wasnt that bad but I like Thai house better. I think their food is a bit too expensive to pay for that tiny portion.

We have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal. The portions are huge giving us one or two more meals.
