Herb Chicago

Chef Patty and the Herb restaurant creates an experience that is one of a kind. One that is hand curated to give you not only traditional Thai food, but farm-to-table fresh ingredients and microgreens that makes you not only feel full, but feels extra special AND healthy. Chef Patty has a curated menu that is truly so special, and she came by our table to share her insights on each of the items in the menu. The tumeric trio mushroom soup was something I’m going to dream about, and come back just to have more and more of. It was truly something, and it makes sense why this is in the Michelin Guide. Would 100% be coming back again.

This is absolutely one of the most hidden gems in Chicago. The food and service is world class with one of the most hospitable team of any restaurant I have visited. I was astounded by the array of fresh herbs, produce and other ingredients ...

Phenomenal food served by passionate people in a gorgeous space. A beautiful spot for a date night, especially for vegetarians or vegans!

Amazing experience at Herb! Chef Patty was friendly and talked to us about each dish. We got the plant-based tasting menu and everything was fresh and unique. Real stand outs were the mushroom turmeric soup and betel leaves, as well as the mango sticky rice dessert. Classy atmosphere and delicious food with attentive service. Definitely recommend !

Wow. Herb is a true gem in Chicago's restaurant scene. I've been in the city for ten years and love exploring its many amazing culinary offerings. But there are a few really special experiences that stay with me-our dinner at Herb is now one of them. Chef Patty is doing magical things with simple, fresh ingredients. She personally greeted us at our table and guided us through our entire dinner. We went with the full seven course option and it was an incredible journey. Rooted in the delicious flavors of Thai cuisine that make it so popular, every course did something to elevate the experience and add a surprising twist. The plates were visually stunning with balanced flavors. The service was warm and attentive, but never overbearing. It is clear that Chef Patty is passionate about this restaurant, and that comes through in the dishes and the attention to every detail. My favorite dish was the Betal Leaves starter. It was so fresh and unique with a blend of subtle flavors that made us both grin as soon as we put the first one in our mouth. We knew from that first bite we were in for a fun evening. l've been to Oriole, Alinea, El Ideas, and many other Chicago culinary heavyweights. Our dinner at Herb was on that level. This place is a must-visit.

We're visiting from out of town and some friends who are locals booked this dining experience. It was the first time for us all. Chef Patty greeted us, took our order, explained the menu and goal of the atmosphere and experience she is looking to recreate. She absolutely delivered on her vision. All of the wait staff were incredibly friendly. There were four of us all doing the 5 course experience. I ordered primarily from the plant based menu which was so thoughtfully prepared. The plating and presentation was phenomenal. Each dish built on the previous and was a gradual introduction of heat (spiciness) in a very methodical way. All four of us left no morsel of food on our dishes and we left feeling satiated. This is the best Thai dining experience I've ever had. Even the music was soothing. We were not rushed - the dishes came out with a cadence that allowed for us to enjoy each other's company and comment on the dishes, fresh ingredients and really elevate the evening. Chef Patty has done something very special here and this is a hidden gem I highly encourage you to experience.

I went to Herb to celebrate my birthday with my family, and WOW, was I impressed across the board. Patty, the owner and chef, was incredibly welcoming, shared details about each dish, and truly made the evening a special experience. Each dish was delectable and very flavorful. To top it off, I received a surprise birthday dish with the best mango I've ever had, as well as a birthday gift. I couldn't have had a better experience at Herb, highly recommend! Hospitality was immaculate, thank you Patty and the rest of the amazing staff!

My friend and I went here to celebrate my upcoming wedding. She found Herb which has an affordable tasting menu that has 3 menu tiers. We went with the middle option, which was 5 courses and dessert. Each dish was expertly crafted and really let the main ingredients shine. Chef Patty also checked in on us frequently to ensure that we were satisfied with our meal. Our favorite dish was the chicken coconut curry; we could have eaten the curry sauce with just rice because it was that good. Will definitely be back in the future!
