Nathan’s is a fantastic thai restaurant, one of my favorites. Bottom line is the food tastes great. It is better than many other thai restaurants I’ve been too, and is typically less expensive—especially compared to some of the other ones in Elmhurst. It's the kind of good that makes you want to scarf it down. Its just good like that. Some of my favorites are the pad thai, drunken noodle, cashew dish, and cucumber salad. If you like pad thai, try theirs, you will find it has a unique taste than most other places. I am vegetarian so all their dishes can have tofu or veg substitutes. With orders over 20$ you can get a free appetizer and I usually choose spring rolls. Also their soups are very delicious. The owners are a nice brother and sister team and they cook your food with care. I got to know them just by going there so often. The atmosphere is small and relaxed and makes you feel welcome. On the walls are beautiful pictures of beaches and oceans of Thailand and they play nice relaxing music. You might drive by it and not notice, but its a gem of North Elmhurst. As you can tell, I really like their food. It has good portions and is a strong value.
