“A Hard to Find Gem”

Boraan's Restaurant

Apr 17, 2008

I was surprised to find Boraan's on Trip Advisor - I thought it was a closely guarded secret! I have been here over a dozen times. The Thai food is authentic and excellent. I was not that familiar with Vietnamese food, but everything I have tried has been very good to excellent.

Best items: Thai green chicken curry, Pad Kee Maow, and Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls.

We had dinner here last Friday night and I can't wait to go back! The Khao Pad Curry and the Yellow Curry were excellent. The owner suggested we try a thai fruit dessert made of rambutan and jack fruit and it was tasty. We're looking forward to visiting again to try out some of their other wonderful dishes!

Boraan’s Restaurant

Tucked away in a tiny strip mall in Naperville is a unique restaurant. It is clean, bright, friendly and comfortable. You have two menus to pick from – one Thai and one Vietnamese. Two menus is an excellent way to highlight the unique strengths of each of these cuisines. Boraan’s offers a variety of selections for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

Boraan’s offers some of the best Vietnamese Pho soup we’ve had in Chicagoland. It’s the equal of any we’ve had in Washington or Boston.

The Pho at Boraan’s is elegant, aromatic and complex. It’s not the greasy beef broth you sometimes find. Here the owner makes it himself, rather than leaving it to his chef and he takes the 4 to 6 hours you need to do it right.

The quality and care put into the food does not stop there. A dish that is easy to make greasy and muddled is Pad Thai. It’s a classic stir fried noodle dish that demands proper technique. At Boraan’s, their Pad Thai was light, subtle, aromatic and finely seasoned.

Frying is an area that always tests the quality of the chef. Here it was so well done, that the shrimp & vegetable tempura was crisp while being so greaseless that it barely left any mark on a napkin.

The Khao Pad Curry was another feast for the senses. It is a Malay style fried rice with yellow curry powder, sweet onion, snow-peas, carrots, bell pepper, pineapple, raisins and fried shallots.

Deserts are well represented and include Moh Kaeng, a sweet warm taro custard from Thailand.

They have a beer and wine license, although my favorite remains the various varieties of Thai or Vietnamese iced coffees – near espresso coffee over ice with a thin layer of condensed milk floating on the top.

We live in Naperville so we go there often. But if you're traveling in Western Chicagoland, Boraan’s is definitely worth a special trip.
