My wife and I are creatures of habit. We plan our daily meals a month in advance. No exaggeration. And there are certain dishes that are must-have items, once-a-month, like pizza and barbecue ribs and chili. Another to-do that is circled on the calendar each...month is a visit to Tiparos Thai Restaurant, either dine-in or delivery. Depending on who is playing. Located at 1540 North Clark Street on the border of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood and historic Old Town, a block from our home, it has become a fixture on our monthly dining chart. And the menu usually doesn't change because we love the chicken egg rolls, home-made and deep fried and served with sweet and sour sauce, beef chop suey with stir-fried peapods, sliced mushrooms, carrots, celery, bean sprouts and cabbage in a tasty gravy and chicken fried rice with Jasmine rice, brown rice, big chunks of chicken, eggs, green peas and white and green onions. The portions are always too much to consume in one sitting. But it's so much fun just trying to do it. By the way, did I mention the delivery service? Sure, we live close enough to call in our order without using a telephone. But the delivery is always swift and the food is always hot and fresh. Tiparos never disappoints.More

After an exhausting eight-hour drive from Nashville, Tennessee, my wife and I arrived in our hometown of Chicago to the sight of an empty refrigerator. What to eat? Where to eat? The obvious and instant answer: Tiparos. When you live in a neighborhood for over...30 years, as we have, you check out businesses and restaurants and come away with a favorite restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner, pizza, ribs, drugstore, grocery, florist, cleaners, coffee shop and gas station. Located at 1540 North Clark Street, a block from our home, Tiparos is our once-a-month fix for delicious Thai food. We've sampled many items on the menu, including fried wonton, chicken egg rolls, vegetable egg rolls, pot stickers, satay chicken, shrimp dumplings, Thai spring rolls and chicken wings, almost everything but sushi. But we finally decided that our favorites are chicken fried rice with chunks of chicken, eggs, green peas and white and green onions and beef chop suey with stir-fried beef, stir-fried peapod, sliced mushroom, celery, bean sprout and napa cabbage in a tasty gravy. With a swift delivery service, faster than the time it took us to unpack. Yes, that's one thing we really missed in Nashville, Tiparos' Thai cuisine. It's good to be home.More

After driving 503 miles from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to Chicago, completing our 39-day summer vacation trip to Sarasota, Florida, my wife and I were exhausted but hungry. So where do we eat? Who offers quick delivery? For us, it was an easy choice. Tiparos Thai Restaurant,...located at 1540 North Clark Street, only a block away from our home, always is spot-on with hot and delicious and freshly prepared food and features a delivery service that is second to none. Less than an hour after making the call, we were enjoying our meal while watching a tape of the final round of the British Open. Our order is always the same. We share chicken fried rice and beef chop suey. With chicken egg rolls added as an appetizer. If it ain't broke, why fix it? We have made the same delivery order at Tiparos on more than 20 occasions in the last two years and never been disappointed. Oh, the menu is extensive. Sushi lovers will love the place. But we're happy with the chicken fried rice, with large chunks of chicken, and the beef chop suey, which always is filled with large slices of beef.More

At our house, I make out the menus (by the month) and my wife does the cooking. Not a bad meal in 43 years. We have a lot of personal favorites. Like Tiparos Thai restaurant at 1540 North Clark Street in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood,...just around the corner from our home. We discovered Tiparos many years ago and have made it a once-a-month must. It never disappoints. Delivery is swift and the food is always hot and fresh. We have sampled several items on the menu but, in recent years, we have come to favor an order of chicken fried rice and beef chop suey. They seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. Recently, I decided to add another item, chicken egg rolls, which only adds to the flavor and enjoyment. The chicken fried rice boasts big chunks of chicken with eggs, green peas, white and green onions. The beef chop suey features thin slices of beef, with peapods, mushrooms, celery, bean sprouts and napa cabbage in a tasty gravy.More

My friend and I waited for ages to have our order taken and a long time after that for our food, about 35 minutes in all. When our soup came it was tepid. My Wonton Soup with Barbeque Pork was oddly sweet. My friend's Tom...Kha with Chicken had hard scraps of ginger, cinnamon sticks and leaves floating in it. I will not be going back.More

I have written at least a dozen reviews on Tiparos Thai Restaurant at 1540 North Clark Street in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. All of them have been extremely positive. Why? Because my wife and I love everything about Tiparos...the menu, the food, the service, the...fast delivery. What else can I say? It's the best. Tiparos was the first place we thought of upon arriving home after our month-long trip to the Far West. A fast delivery of our favorite items, chicken fried rice and beef chop suey, and sitting down in front of the TV to watch a football game and enjoy the food. You can't beat it. Good, healthy food. Hot and fresh and delicious. Big chucks of chicken with brown rice, onions, peas, carrots and some other tasty vegetables I don't recognize. Big slices of beef with bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, onions, mushrooms, rice and soy sauce. And it all arrives at our door before the kickoff. Of course, Tiparos' menu is filled with many Thai and Japanese delicacies. Sushi, too. In the past, we've sampled many of them, included fried wonton, chicken egg rolls, shrimp dumplings, satay chicken, pot stickers chicken and tempura shrimp. But we finally settled on chicken fried rice and beef chop suey as our personal favorites. What else can I say? It's the best.More

Over the years, I've written more than a few reviews of Tiparos Thai Restaurant at 1540 North Clark Street on Chicago's Gold Coast, near the Chicago History Museum. To tell the truth, my wife and I never get tired of Tiparos. We love their swift...delivery, even though we live only a block away, and they are only too aware of our standard order: chicken fried rice and beef chop suey. The first thing we did after arriving home after a three-day stay in historic Galena, Illinois, was call Tiparos for a delivery. Much faster than taking something out of the refrigerator. Love the chicken fried rice with big chunks of chicken, carrots, peas and onions. And the beef chop suey with carrots and mushrooms and other goodies. Of course, Tiparos has a large menu of other Thai and Japanese dishes, including sushi. The potstickers and ginger chicken and wontons and spring rolls and satay chicken are delicious, too. But we never stop enjoying chicken fried rice and beef chop suey. So why change?More
