  I've been to this restaurant a couple of times in summer 2017 with my partner and his Thai colleague. It's been two years since we've set feet in Rockford and Thai Hut is still the best restaurant there.
  
  Our order: pad Thai with beef, green curry with chicken. Regular spice levels with spice tray for additional zing.
  
  The flavor profile screamed familiarity, which was the comfort we needed after a grueling day of driving. The curry was more on the thin side (as it should), perfectly complementing the freshly steamed jasmine rice that came with the dish. Spice did not overwhelm the fragrance and sweetness of the vegetables and basil that went into the making. The pad Thai sauce coated every noodle evenly - not too dry, not too wet on the tongue. Difficult to not chomp down the entire plate in one go, especially with the extremely tender beef. Portions were generous like before.
  
  Walked out with our hearts and tummies full. The owners and servers were as kind and attentive as they were 2 years ago - thank you for the consistency in your establishment. I wish Thai Hut all the best, and I look forward to dining here when we visit Rockford again.

  I've been lucky enough to be able to travel far and wide and no thai restaurant compares to this one. The orange chicken is incredible and you'll never find anything like it anywhere else. Now i'm living in colorado and i have tried every thai restaurant i could find as well as while I lived in chicago.
  
  The crab ragoons are awesome, thai iced coffee is incredible, the curries are all flavorful and rich in texture. To be honest this place deserves to be on TV. The service is always so sweet and friendly.
  
  It also has a great atmosphere. Its comfortable enough to feel casual but still fancy enough to come for celebrations all dressed up. I can't explain it the exact atmosphere, but its incredible

  This time around, we had house specials, a seafood dish and a fried chicken, along with some fried rice ((I like leftovers, and there was plenty left over)). I asked for spice level 4 (of 5), liking it spicy and, for me, it was absolutely perfect. For the original order, I believe I played it conservative and had one of the dishes at 3. This time, I used 4 for all, even the fried rice. I like spicy food, not "hot". These dishes were the perfect level of mouthwatering, mouth tingling delight.
  
  I better start talking about how tasty, and well prepare, the dishes were. The Seafood Misting (SE1) was filled with great bits and bobs of shrimps, scallops, I thought clams, but perhaps I mistook those. There were great pieces of calamarie in there and as much as enjoyed all these, I was blown away by the seasoning/sauce and the mushrooms and other vegetables. It was the combined taste of everything together that really made this for me.
  
  Thai fried chicken has always been high on my list of favorites, this version, Crispy Chicken (TH3), at spice level 4 was really, really good. The chicken was fresh, moist, the coating had a great zing. I had to make a conscious effort to stop eating -- I wanted to eat it all.
  
  I can go on and on about the Combo Fried Rice (R3), it's just more of the same: plentiful fresh bits of shrimp, chicken, onions, carrots and the cucumbers on top too.
  
  Thai Hut is 2 for 2 on take out. I've got to get myself in the restaurant -- if takeout is this good, I REALLY want to see what it's like on the "home field". But coming in from the far side of Michigan, I only have so many opportunities. We'll get it done... soon!

  If i could give this place 10 stars i would. I love coming here. The staff is SO nice, and accommodating. They have so many unique drinks and appetizers to try I'll never get bored. My go to is the pad Thai with tofu, or the chicken fried rice which brings so much flavor to the table. Literally. They have a spice system 1-5 with how much spice you like which is convenient for people who enjoy more or less of the spice factor. They provide plenty of seating, service is always great, i don't think I've ever waited more than 10 minutes for my food. Great take out options, and dessert options. The only sad part is that there are closed on Mondays lol!  Love this place !

  We found this restaurant by chance, staying at a nearby hotel. Such a pleasant surprise! The service was so friendly and efficient. The food was very good. We loved the fresh spring roll appetizer!
