I was on a business trip in Chicago and went to Dekalb to see my nephew whos a 3rd year university student. After seeing all the positive reviews I decided to take him to this place for lunch yesterday. He got all excited because it was his first time to a Thai restaurant. We had beef curries, fish cakes and Tom Yum soup---the typical Thai dishes. The food tasted OK but shortly after lunch my nephew started having stomach upset and he went straight to the washroom. He got over it after 3 visits to the washroom in the afternoon. I wasnt hit as badly at all as I wasnt very hungry and didnt eat much. However, I did feel some significant discomfort during my one-hour or so drive back to Chicago to catch a flight. To be fair the food tastes better than expected as it is a restaurant in a small town after all. However, food hygiene is always a higher priority for me. I asked my nephew to throw out all the boxed left-overs. And now I am not feeling the appetite for any Thai food at all which is really bad as it has been my favourite food for years!

This is the best restaurant in DeKlab it doesnt matter what you order on the menu it is all delicious! If you have never had Thai food and the idea scares you play it safe and order the mango chicken. Its deep fried chicken with a sweet mango glaze that is amazing. If your feeling adventurous try the Kao Soi it has egg noodles with sweet potato, yellow curry and your choice of meat I recommend chicken. If you like things spicy any dish can be made with extra heat but be careful what you ask for, they also have a spice rack you just have to ask. The hottest item on the menu that I have tired is Kangpa, its sure to clear out your sinuses. Another go to dish is the Chicken Delight I order it spicy its one of my favorites. The Thai iced tea is also delicious. This is a must stop in DeKalb!

so glad school is back in session. there isnt much i like about dekalb, but man does thai pavilion have the BEST thai food. first thing i did when i got back into town was hit the restaurant for their lunch special. 6.95 for soup, an egroll and a huge "lunch portion" of pad kee mow? awesome. i live in madison, and would much rather spend all my time there, but there is nowhere else to get thai food than in this small rinkadink town. so good! and the waitstaff is awesome. i had the pleasure of having two girls, wait on me. laura or lauren? was our server- she is great, and her other waitress was an asian girl with some tattoos. very nice- friendly and they even drew us a picture on our ticket. GO THERE! you will love the food.

The food is delicious and there is a wide variety of offerings for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. The ingredients are as fresh as they can be. Owner Sam told me that he travels to Chicago several times a week for the freshest ingredients but also purchases from local sources during the summer. Thats a plus from my perspective. The lunch special is enough for two lunches so prepare to enjoy it and take some home. The service is excellent and the Thai Iced Coffee is a treat on a hot day.

LOVE the food! The sweet and sour sauce they use for the egg rolls is more like a spiced honey than the stuff you get at a chinese restaurant...SOOO good! Best fried rice Ive ever had and best hot and sour soup (Tom Yum). Pricing is a little high but the ingredients are so fresh it makes up for it. Only complaint is that service can be a little slow so if you are in a hurry for lunch you might want to call ahead or choose another place.

The last few times weve eaten at Thai Pavilion, weve been disappointed. They used wide" thai noodles in the pad thai, giving the whole dish a mealy, thick texture. The green papaya salad was so spicy we could hardly choke it down, and it came without the shrimp! As of 2010? 3 stars. Before that? 4 stars. In the past, this was our favorite place to eat in Dekalb. I hope they straighten things out...

Any complaints people may have about this restaurant I consider irrelevant. Anything someone may not like about it is more than likely very minuscule and clearly wasnt important enough to diminish their customer flow, seeing as they are always busy. Never have I been disappointed with the food, service, prices, or any part of the experience. Priced PERFECTLY for the quality of food and service.

The food is pretty good and the best time to go is during the lunch special, the portions are great and its a great value for $6.99. The lunch special include a spring roll, soup of the day, and then the entree. Ive been to many Thai restaurant and their portions dont match up against the competitors. All in all, great food and awesome staff!

Amazing experience. The staff was friendly and very prompt, and the food was delicious and came out in 5 minutes. I had the Green Curry and my mom had the Ginger Chicken, both of which I highly recommend. I couldnt believe my eyes when the bill was $19.96 for both of us. Complimentary soup with a Spring Roll also. I will definitely be back.

Food is good and like others have said the lunch special is fantastic. Wait staff is always pleasant and food is prepared and brought to table quickly and FRESH! Dining area could use an update, and if you come in the back door its really quite nasty. But I dont go there for the looks of the place, I go for great thai food!

This place is located in the n downtown DeKalb, IL, right on Hwy 38. There food is made with fresh ingredients, and is some of the best Thai food that I have eaten. If you ask for something hot and spicy they will be happy to make it for you. The Atmosphere is casual and pleasant. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Love this place. I have never been disappointed with anything I have had here, and Ive eaten about a third way through the menu. Lunch special is a GREAT deal since it comes with an egg roll and soup of the day for less than $8. Pineapple fried rice with chicken is my absolute favorite, its amazing!

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE IN DEKALB! Ive only eaten there a handful of times, but I love this place. The moment I decided that people need to know about this place is when i ordered delivery, was told the expected wait was 30-45 minutes, and they came in less than 15 minutes! Outstanding, Im speechless.

Love the food here and also the restaurant. This place is small, but the food is yummy ! Try the Fresh Lime chicken appetizer ! It looks like their signature snack item. Also, the Fried rice will be very tasty. I would say, one of the best restaurant in DeKalb ! Go for it and njoy..
