THAI GARDEN 225 West Golf Road, Schaumburg, IL 60195

"This place was a mixed bag. The food was delicious, even though I asked for mild spice and got at least medium. Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve had. Service on the other hand was appalling. The lady serve I had could care less I was there. She appeared annoyed when I asked for something. I had to find her to get a box and my check. To her other tables of more than one she smiled and laughed. To me she had no personality. The final issue - who the hell charges 18% gratuity for ALL tables automatically??? I always tip more than 18% when they do their job well, but when you have a server that treats u like garbage why should I be forced to pay that???"

"We visited on a Friday evening for dinner during a time when most tables were empty. Service was great but the food was average at best. There are a only a few items on the menu that are well made with good sauces. The best item we tried was the veg egg rolls for the appetizers. To reiterate, service was really good, so I give the waitress a 5/5. However, due to the food quality and taste, I'm downgrading by two stars."

"My recent dining experience at Thai Garden was regrettably disappointing, and I feel compelled to share the details to help others make informed decisions. The server's indifferent attitude was evident when suggesting the use of the hot sauce left in the jar, which unfortunately amounted to no more than three small spoons. Not only we kept repeating the same request again and again, the servant unfortunately kept offering leftover hot sauce from the other tables and kept saying use this and she will bring more once we finish it. Surprisingly all of those jars didn't have more than 2-3 spoons of sauce left. This not only highlighted a lack of attention to detail but also a disregard for providing a satisfying dining experience. Adding to the dismay was the unexpected 18% gratuity charge. Surprisingly, there were no follow-up visits during the meal, and the waiter only appeared at the end to present the bill. This lack of engagement raises serious questions about the justification for such a substantial gratuity. As someone who appreciates Thai cuisine, it pains me to say that Thai Garden fell far short of expectations. The combination of subpar service and an unjustified gratuity charge make it challenging to recommend this establishment to fellow diners. I appreciate your feedback. Let me provide you with a revised version, focusing on your concerns about service, hot sauce availability, and the unexpected gratuity:"

"The atmosphere at the restaurant was average. The appetizers had small portions, especially the crab Rangoon. However, the Tom Yum soup with lemongrass-infused broth was exceptionally delicious. The mango meat dish was good, but it's worth noting that they include an 18% service charge. The overall dining experience featured tasty options, despite the smaller appetizer portions."

"The food we got delivered was an over fried egg roll which was so oily that it was inedible. The pineapple fried rice quantity was large but the taste was definitely below average and have had much better thai food in other restaurants. The fried rice did not have any flavor and had no heat at all even though we chose spicy. In addition, the pineapple fried rice didnt have much pineapple at all. Pretty disappointed experience."
