Arun's Restaurant Review

Beautiful Thai art and antiques set the stage for seven-, 10- and 12-course prix-fixe dining ($75, $85, $100) with or without wine pairings ($50) at chef/owner Arun Sampanthavivat's Northwest side restaurant. A customized procession of multiple appetizers, entrées and desserts arrive at the table artfully prepared and served family-style. Starters have included flower-shaped purple dumplings...

"Upscale Thai" is "taken to its apex" at this Northwest Side "must-visit", where chef-owner Arun Sampanthavivat prepares "out-of-this-world" prix fixe dishes elevated by presentations straight "out of a picture book"; the traditionally decorated space may not soar quite as high, and tabs are "pricey", but "excellent" service helps ensure an overall "fine-dining" experience.

Four Chicago Restaurants Earn AAA Five Diamond

Food Experts Name Restaurants Broken Up With in 2012

Julia Kramer, Time Out Chicago: The most disappointing meal that I had this year, by a landslide, was at Charlie Trotter's. Since the restaurant then closed, it's not really optional whether I would return, but I would never have gone back or recommended it to anyone after that.

Jeff Ruby, Chicago Magazine: We never really were going out, but a one night stand at Jerry's Sandwiches was more...

Yes, Arun's is a Thai restaurant, but it's in a whole different league from the noodle shops scattered around the city. Here chef/owner Arun Sampanthavivat prepares a refined version of traditional Thai cuisine: authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Rather than order individual entrees, diners feast on a 12-course chef's menu served family-style, with the dishes varying from night to...

World class service. Unique cuisine, an art form. Such a wonderful experience. We make a point to go every year and it never disappoints.

My husband and I have been coming to Arun's for at least 20 years and always liked it. We most recently ate there this past Friday evening which it turned out was the first night they were open after their recent renovation.

My wife and I went to Arun's for our 15th anniversary. We had wanted to go for years based on friends' reviews. The experience was wonderful. The 12 course meal offered a unique surprise with each new course. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a taste for well crafted, beautiful and tasty dishes.

Unfortunately, the $85 per person price was not worth the value at this restaurant. After waiting years to finally eat at Arun's, I was frankly quite disappointed. First off, for a 10 course meal, you are given 5 individual appetizers each, 3 main entrees which are supposed to be "family size" portions and "shareable" and 2 individual desserts each. To my dismay, the 3 entrees were NOT family...

This is visually stunning Thai cuisine that tantalizes the taste buds. The twelve-course tasting menu, though pricey, offers a consistently fantastic culinary tour with favorites like hot and sour soup, steamed rice dumplings stuffed with crab, and fried, bite-sized pastries filled with shrimp, chicken, and sweet corn. The upscale interior includes antiques and Thai paintings, many by the...
