You walk in this place and it has spa music playing.
The energy is very calming and relaxing. We did the five course menu. I started with the Betal Leaves and the Chive Dumplings. Both were mouthwatering. The dumplings I could eat like ten of them. They were that good. Then they came out with the Turmeric Trio Mushroom soup. The soup was delicious. After my entree came out. I got the Famous Coconut Curry with Veggies. This had a little spice to it. The rice helped even out the heat. I really enjoyed it.Then they came out with the dessert of Mango Sticky rice. This was also yummy. Would have rated 4+ stars but I took off a star, because they charge you an automatic 30% service charge and the service level was not justified. It also is BYOB and they charge $10 per bottle. The food itself was excellent but adding on an excessive 30% service charge left a bad taste. Keep in mind when dining here.
Be the first to ReplyThis was my fourth time at Herb.
The first three visits were sublime. Excellent. Tonight was the first disappointment, especially since this was where we chose to spend our anniversary dinner. The food was still delicious, but the menu options were severely limited--we got the 5-course, but there was only one non-plant-based entree option. (The other they were out of; and we had an early reservation, the place was not packed.)The first clue that this was an "off-night" was that the paper menus at the table were crumpled and water-stained. Then they brought us our water--2 plastic bottles of Ice Mountain (?!). And the wait staff seemed either very green, but/or definitely...out of it. (Ahem.)Only one dessert "choice"--the standardMango sticky rice. Good, but nowhere near as exciting as what we've had before, and all the menu said was that the dessert was "chef's whim--you'll be surprised." (I sort of was, but not pleasantly so.)Again the food was still beautifully plated and tasted great, but the experience, especially for our anniversary and $180.00 was disappointing. Third time was a charm, but this fourth has me wondering if I'll ever come back. Disappointing. I know places have their off-nights. It just stinks we had to experience one, especially on a special occasion.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Chicago and at a good value for the volume of food you get. Every bite of every dish was full of intense flavor. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The restaurant was smartly decorated and the perfect ambience for a date.I had the five course menu ordering:Betal LeavesChive DumplingsTurmeric Trio Mushroom SoupCoconut Curry with ChickenMango and Sticky Rice All the dishes were phenomenal. I highly recommend Herb for a good value and truly outstanding food and service.Location is in a safe area with plenty of street parking, public transport, or ride share / taxi are easy to get.
Be the first to ReplyThe food was incredible.
I would go just for that. So Fresh, So Flavorful. A very talented chef.What needs improvement:They need a more experienced server. The restaurant was small, classy and on the quiet side. Our server was so loud you could hear his rehearsed speech to each new group that sat down. He told a lot of people, including us, to run to Jewel to BYOB after already getting seated, settled, and looking at the menu, which was awkward. He seemed really inexperienced and lacked social/professional/spacial awareness in general-- definitely not the right personality for a higher end place. They don't give an itemized receipt, and gratuity is automatically applied for the server, which he wasn't the best, and the couple in front of us actually requested for him to change it. There is a lack of attention to details: paper napkins instead of cloth, single serve plastic water bottles instead of pitchers. They really need a non-alcoholic drink menu instead of telling you what cans they have.We had to figure out the bill the next day. It was $196: $150 in food, $30 forced tip, the rest tax. The food is truly spectacular and with a few changes here, this place will be a gem!

Friends of ours took us here on Friday and apparently, the owner is struggling to find staff. As a result, it was a 3.5 hour meal that is usually 1.5 at most per our friends as they've been there many times. I'm only posting this 3 star for 2 reasons: (1) there was no communication at all; the entire restaurant was delayed and nobody said anything and (2) when it was time for the bill, she skipped through the credit card prompts and we didn't realize until later that she added 20+% but acting like "everything was included" even though the tip wasn't included. I would have probably tipped 20% still, but don't add it unethically and in disguise - especially when it was the slowest service in the history of my 40 years dining out. ps: She gave us a $1 backscracther as a parting gift. Haha. WTH.

Just Wow!My wife and I walked past this place and decided to try it!The owner came out and talked through the menu with us and about our likes and dislikes and was extremely friendly.We opted for the 5 course meal and I have listed the photos below. The flavors are amazing! This is an experience just as much as it is dinning and priced according.I highly recommend trying!
Be the first to ReplyThis place is so special.
Thai food gets type-cast at a certain (not too high) expectation for cost and presentation, but this is definitely fine dining. I mention that as a warning if you're distractedly scrolling in your phone to pick a "Thai place" based on neighborhood in making plans with someone. That's how I discovered Herb, but if my time/money budget had been tighter, it would have been a problem!The food is absolutely gorgeous and delicious. You're not going to taste much better or snap much better on your cell phone camera.What has brought me here twice (despite having discovered this place *after* having moved 1000 mi away from Chicago) is Herb's offering of a full-bore prix fixe plant-based menu in addition to an omnivorous menu. There are not a whole lot of places to really treat a vegetarian or vegan, and this is one of them.Patty, the chef, is adorable, and on slow nights she'll improvise an omakase experience and come out and tell you about the food. She is a lovely, genuine person.Herb is pretty quirky in some ways - BYOB, and they bring you your water in 500 mL plastic bottles from the grocery store. It's also quite affordable among the Michelin-grade eateries. If you're stuffy and trying to impress someone, that might put you off, but I personally don't care much about that kind of thing.Herb is a gift!

My fiancé and I went here to celebrate my new job, and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place! The food was unreal. We both decided this was the best place we've ever eaten!! The flavors were so fresh and everything went together amazingly. The betel leaf was a flavor combination that was unlike anything I've ever tasted. The chef came and spoke to us about the menu which I thought was a great touch. You could tell she was really passionate about cooking and she has an incredible understanding of flavor and texture. She told us that a lot of the ingredients come fresh from her garden, and you can really taste the difference! I would highly recommend. You get a lot of food for the price- we were so stuffed we had to get the mango rice to go!

Too good to be true! I really love their passion and the food. The flavor is so rich in a single dish. Just taste the extraordinary chemistry between herb and thai food!
Be the first to ReplyToo expensive for what you get.
6 course meal was delicious, but not worth $75. Service was okay but far from great. Some of the items came out in the wrong order. We we're never offered any drink options other than the plastic water bottles on the table. Ambiance and presentation was very average.
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely fantastic experience! I found Herb on a whim as
Absolutely fantastic experience! I found Herb on a whim as I was looking for a dinner fitting for a graduation party that was near the university. I was so lucky that Chef Patty had room on that day and that we got to celebrate at her restaurant!! From the get-go Chef Patty welcomed my party of nine and made each one of us feel special, valued, and cared for. The food was out of this world with bold flavor and complexity and there were plenty of options for all my dinner guests (vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free!) Chef Patty even brought out a book of quotes from strong, successful women and had all my guests sign it with a personalized note before presenting it to me as a graduation gift with a long-stemmed rose. I never would have seen that coming--so incredibly thoughtful and touching!! We will absolutely be back! All of my out-of-town guests said it was their favorite part of the visit :)Also, the restaurant is BYOB so make sure you come prepared. We brought plenty of champagne. THANK YOU SO MUCH CHEF PATTY!!!! Can't wait to return!
Be the first to ReplyFood and service from the chef herself was excellent.
The place is cozy. It's BYOB and only prix fixe, they don't have an actual menu to choose from but you can tell them your preferences, allergies, etc. We were very happy with the experience.

I love this place! I've been here twice and it is always a wonderful experience. Make reservations in advance.I love the crispy prawn appetizer.I'm also pescatarian so be sure to lead with any dietary restrictions since it's a seasonal prix fixe menu. Also, be sure to say hi to Chef Patty and she will tell you the backstory behind her dishes! HERB does not disappoint!
Be the first to ReplyHerb is an amazing restaurant like no other - delicious,
Herb is an amazing restaurant like no other - delicious, innovative food and a excellent atmosphere. The prix fixe menu is very rich and a tour de force of flavors. The owner, Patty, is extremely nice and often speaks to every table individually to ensure they are having the best experience possible. It's an extra nice touch that makes you feel like you're at home in someone's home kitchen. The restaurant is BYOB so you can bring your favorite drinks with you. To top it all off, Billy is the best server I have ever been lucky enough to have take care of me. He is extremely attentive, funny, knowledgeable, professional and a great conversationalist. It really adds to the experience. Visit herb soon for an unforgettable experience!

Mushroom Soup - 4/5. Light, creamy. Well balanced.Mango Sticky Rice - 4.5/5. Fresh mango, sweet rice. Bit clumpy but very effective.Coconut Curry - 3.5/5. Decent flavor but quite spicy.
Be the first to ReplyI have read many of the reviews and was excited to come
I have read many of the reviews and was excited to come here. While I agree with many of the 5-star review I also ironically agree with some of the 1-stars. In this pricey price fix restaurant you have the option of eating off the meat menu or the vegetarian menu. We tried a little of both, and with the 5-course selection we thought we would leave full. The presentation was beautiful for all but for both the vegetarian and meat menus there were surprisingly few vegetables and the portions were very small. The famous curry dishes had hardly any vegetables and some ordinary meat with a conventional sauce you would expect to eat. Good, but just falling very short on vegetables and too small for an entree. Rice wars served with the curry but the only real visible vegetable in this dish was a half of potato and potato with rice meant a lot of starch with no unusual vegetables. Potatoes are not expensive so maybe that was the reason. I also would have liked to see a special noodle dish on the menu. The closest thing to a noodle was the prawn appetizer, which was very good. The meal wound down with two lackluster desserts. And the meal total was very high for what we had. I am not even complaining about the pricing but the lack of: vegetables, interesting desserts, and adequate entree portions and range of sauces--many of the sauces tasted the same. I will say that the dishes look Instagram worthy and I suspect that the presentation is carefully curated for this reason. This said, I appreciate the effort and may return at a future date.
Be the first to ReplyWhat incredible food! I was amazed by every bite.
Everything was incredibly balanced. It truly was one of the best meals I've ever had. The green Thai curry was incredible. Patty makes an incredible curry that is rich and light at the same time. The veggies are cut and cooked perfectly. The chicken is perfectly tender. The spice level is perfect.The BETEL LEAVES!!! What an incredible and fresh and wonderful little bite. I could eat a dozen of these! If I lived in Chicago, I'd be here once a week. It's beautiful beautiful food at a very good price. What a wonderful place.

A wonderful evening, start to finish! The dining room is beautiful and elegant . The food was really great. The betel leaf appetizer is bursting with flavor. And the turmeric mushroom soup is light but rich, with a really creative combination of herbs and vegetables. The pork tenderloin is nicely flavored as well . Desserts were tasty too. The entire staff is stellar. The owner definitely has a passion for her work, and is so kind and friendly. She personally visits east table and thoroughly explains the menu. Definitely will be back!

Experienced catering from Herb yesterday and it was beyond incredible! From start to finish, everything was flavorful, unique, fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Can't wait to dine in!
Be the first to ReplyGreat presentation of the food as well as being flavorful;
Great presentation of the food as well as being flavorful; however, you'll spend beaucoup $$, and likely will go home hungry. I'd recommend Arun's on Kedzie if you'd like gourmet Thai and not leave feeling like you've overpaid for appetizers.
Be the first to ReplyThis is one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever dined
This is one of the best Thai restaurants I have ever dined in Chicagoland. The selection of the tasting menu is very unique and extremely flavorful. The staff is very friendly. Patty who is the chef, is such a wonderful person. She stopped by our table personally to make sure we were satisfied with the service & the food. I am going back to Herb coming Friday July 30th with my family and my friends. I highly recommend Herb for a fantastic Thai food experience.
