Try the Mango Curry!! It's so yummy! This restuarant is my go-to on Doordash! Prices are great and the food is sweet and spicy.

The restaurant was made like a old school cafe in Thailand. There were family photos and Thai mementos on the walls, the kitchen was semi open; tucked in the corner of this small, cozy eatery that's tucked away in a strip mall.
There's a muted, large TV tuned to Access Hollywood and light casual music wafts softly over ceiling speakers. this place is very laid back and run by a family who work well together. Both the husband and wife served us in jovial and deft fashion, casually dressed.
I ordered a plate of Thai Basil Noodles, and my wife ordered a plate of noodles called "The Drunken Mama". We also ordered appetizers (the crunchy plate) and hot jasmine tea. EVERYTHING tasted absolutely marvelous; for someone who claimed to not be very hungry, I devoured those noodles like I hadn't eaten all day! They were that good! The tea was divine.
Total damage was 47 bucks with a 5 dollar tip.
This is NOT a place for the loud and rowdy. A small group hang out, intimate date, or solo grubbing is cool. You can also order take out here. Date wise, this place is highly recommended for an intimate twosome! -

Three stars doesn't look like much but it's a solid three.
The food was decent enough, the servers friendly, and the atmosphere clean and nice. If I were in the area again and my friend said "I want some Thai, let's go to Chopsticks" I'd be perfectly okay with that. I have no need to stay away - it wasn't bad!
The problem comes with the food itself. It lacked depth. I tried my main dish (Basil Stir Fry) and my wife's (Pas See Ew), as well as our appetizers and my Tom Kha soup. Everything tasted pleasant enough but it didn't have the dimensions I've come to expect from Thai food. It was decent enough but lacked a deeper flavor profile, as though in need of some extra fish sauce or something to give it a more meaningful umami flavor. The Basil Stir Fry, marked on the menu as the only thing I saw with three chili peppers, had barely any spice to it, though what it did have was the pleasant kind that builds up from the beginning. It just never built up to anything serious.
This is our second time having gone. The first time was take out and didn't work out well since the noodles basically steamed on the way home. That's not their fault and I didn't review them then but now I'd just say that this place is a perfectly nice lunch and I'll probably be back but I won't go out of my way to have them again. -

Great service, great flavor. I had the Phuket pad Thai and pork with sticky rice appetizer. They're very accommodating and happy to offer suggestions based on your palate.

This is my go-to Thai food restaurant in the Aurora/Naperville area. I only get take out and the order is always correct. They offer coupons but you have to have one with you or they won't let you use it.
The Pad Thai, Panang curry, and spring rolls are my favs. I have tried a lot from their menu but I usually end up wanting my usual because they are so tasty.
I would give an extra star if it wasn't so expensive and if the host was a little nicer. If you don't have the physical coupon they won't accept it. Which I think is ludicrous since they have the coupons printed on their to-go menus. Just frustrating in my opinion.
