Arun's Thai Restaurant - Chicago

Opened in 1985, Arun's was the first high-end Thai restaurant in Chicago. Chef/owner Arun Sampanthavivat is credited for introducing Chicagoans to authentic Thai cuisine and his memorable, 12-course degustation feasts helped him attain a James Beard award. Arun's is also featured in the New York Times’ bestseller, “1,000 Places to See Before Your Die."

In 2017, Arun's underwent a makeover, from the menu to the restaurant's interior. The menu has been updated for modern appetites, adding a six-course menu that's half the price and takes half the time of the 10- or 12-course menus.

They've also added a craft cocktail program that focuses on Thai-inspired drinks.

Ok, stop what you are doing and get to Arun’s tonight!!! This place is destination dining AND basically an art gallery. We got the tasting menu, which was INCREDIBLE. Super elegant, with unusual and scrumptious flavors — lots of unique chef Arun creations you would have never heard or conceived of. Also, they were able to accommodate a vegan tasting menu on the fly! The service was impeccable too in a really gorgeous dining room. I tell everyone I know who lives in or visits Chicago to make a point of going.

The food is not just beautifully presented but it tastes just as good. This is just such a great date night restaurant,, nothing can ever go wrong here..I was so impressed by their drinks as well. I loved their crab wonton.Will definitely recommend to everyone looking to try a new Thai place in Chicago.

A completely different experience of Thai food. Everyone should try this at least once. We had the valentines menu but will definitely come back to try to à la carte soon. The cocktails aren’t something I would suggest though. We came in for the food and we weren’t disappointed.

This was one of the best dining experiences of our lives! Not only was the food utterly delicious, and so different from the usual mom and pop Thai restaurants in the US, but the service was impeccable. Thank you, Ming! This is a world class restaurant and really should have a Michelin star. We had the pre fixe dinner last week (9 courses; all absolutely tasty and impressive) but will return for their regular menu. Although the pre fixe is more expensive (and worth every penny), the regular menu has entrees in the $20 range. Entirely affordable. We went on a Thursday night when it was below freezing and had the restaurant almost completely to ourselves. We had our own little dining room actually so it was perfect for pandemic dining. We will remember the food and the service for years to come!
