Classic Thai,

108 South Henrietta Street, Effingham, IL 62401

"I was the only one in the place at the time of pickup and had to have been one of the few orders of the night based on how delighted lady behind the counter was to see me. She thanked me several times for ordering from her. I could tell she cooked my order fresh! Cashew chicken and potstickers are excellent! It’s a little pricey for the amount of food I received. $25 total when listed at $11 and $5 online, unless prices have changed."

"Authentic Thai food deliciously prepared. The owner was very helpful in making suggestions and selecting the spiciness of our meal. Had crab dumplings as appetizer and my husband and I shared the drunken noodles and ginger chicken on rice. All was perfectly seasoned with lots of fresh vegetables. Highly recommend!"

"This restaurant is so charming and authentic! The owner was friendly and shared her story about moving from Bangkok! The food was fantastic!"

"I’m so glad that the owner came back to Effingham! The food is delicious, there’s something for every diet, there’s a dried pepper basket at each table, and the proprietor is sharp as a tack. She knows just when to appear, she’s never over bearing, she’s quick with a joke, and her honesty is refreshing. The decor could use an update, but it’s pleasant. Just stuffy."

"Authentic Thai home cooking by someone who knows how to make the food from Bangkok. With the low volume of small town dining scene for this type of food, some ingredients have to start frozen like sliced meats, seafood, broth or stew sauces. When she cooks, she has to defrost those individual serving of meats and dehydrate ingredients like noodles and mushrooms with the microwave so she can quickly to begin cooking with the fresh ingredients like vegetables, spices, and herbs in her wok or pots. The result is good fresh food prepared safely. So I think the reviews assumed incorrectly that the kitchen reheats old food for service."
