We had a wonderful dinner at Tac Quick! We ordered the Crab Rangoon, Panang Noodle and the Pad Mee. The Crab Rangoon were some of the best rangoons we’ve had recently and both noodle dishes were flavorful and fresh. The Panang Noodle was a little chunky for me as the pieces of veggie were large and crunchy, but the flavor of the curry was delicious. The restaurant was lively and the small patio was perfect for the weather. Our servers were very helpful and the service was quick. I would eat at Tac Quick again!
Outstanding Thai restaurant in Chicago! I went after some Thai friends recommended it, and it does not disappoint! Thai decoration inside, especially related to movie stars, and very, very good food! We had moo ping, grilled squid, crunchy pork belly and duck curry, everything very tasty, with a great side sauce, and decent portions. Definitely a place you will want to come back!
Tac Quick in Lakeview is my go-to for Northern Thai eats that hit different. Last week, I dropped about 30 on the Yum Woon Sen Talay—a spicy glass noodle salad with shrimp and squid—and the Kai Tod, which is their crispy marinated chicken from the secret menu. Both dishes were bursting with flavor; the salad had that perfect tangy kick, and the chicken was juicy with a crispy skin. The vibe inside is cozy and colorful, and the staff always makes you feel at home. Pro tip: ask for the secret menu—it's where the real gems are. If you're near Wrigleyville and craving authentic Thai, Tac Quick is a must-visit.
Yay! We found a great Thai place that is generous with the veggies AND has a bar! How cool is that? We've been there 3 times because it's our favorite Lakeview-area Thai place. Be sure to check out the Secret Menu!
Their menu has more variety beyond just Thai curries and rice/noodle dishes. I got the Kra Prao Moo Krob. It was super good. Also pictured is the classic Tom Yum which was also great. I can't recommend this place more highly.
I’ve never tried something here I didn’t like. My mom even has me drive down the crab rangoons to Kentucky. Please never let this place go out of business. Anytime you want Thai food, order Tac Quick. It’s so unbelievably good, so affordable, and the employees are wonderful.
We had the lunch special Pad Thai with spring rolls, Pad See Ew with egg roll, Banana in Blanket and Thai tea. Everything was great! Could be a little more spicy but that was easy fix with chili paste they gave us. Tea was perfect, just like what I had in Thailand. Pad Thai was very flavorful and had just the right amount of sprouts (some places only give a tiny bit). Pad See Ew was also just like what we had in Thailand, like drunken noodles, super yummy! Definitely coming back, especially with it being the best deals of Thai food in Chicago!
