Glad we returned - Edit
We used to frequent 5 Star Thai with the original owner. It was 1 of our favs, but just 1 visit with the new owner several years ago and we didn't return for numerous reasons. We decided to try it once more after reading all of the great reviews here on HC, and we're so glad we did.
Read moreThe flavor & portion size of our dishes was almost as good as the original. They have invested quite a bit in updating the restaurant, which is a huge improvement.
I had the basil eggplant and it was delicious. Only issue was the veggie potstickers, which were too crunchy. We didn't bother mentioning it to the server and ate them anyway because we were hungry. Great service, though, both with attention from our waitress and the kitchen getting our food out quickly.
See HelixNeb's review for great feedback on the menu.
Current menu pics added here 3/7/25.

Delicious and lots of options! - Edit
Very tasty Thai food! It's the best restaurant in Schererville for vegans that I've come across so far.
Read moreWhen I first arrived I noticed the menu said items with a "V" next to them were vegan, but across the whole menu there were very few items marked as such. I asked our waiter if some things not marked as vegan can be made vegan if ordered with tofu. I was told that they get a large number of vegan guests so they no longer cook with fish sauce or oyster sauce, and that if you ask for something on the menu to be made vegan, most things on the menu can be by omitting eggs and choosing tofu as a protein.
So if you see something on the menu you think sounds good, just ask if it can be prepared vegan and they probably will be able to (except for obvious things like egg rolls). They're very friendly about it. I ordered Pad Thai and it was delicious!
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very friendly and accommodating staff
Cons: Menu shows less options for vegans than there are

Decent Thai - Edit
They have tasty Thai dishes and a well-labeled menu for vegans. The curry dishes are almost all basically soup which is not my favorite, but the stir fries are great, the pineapple fried rice is delicious, and it definitely satisfies my Thai food cravings.
Read morePros: Well labeled menu , Good prices
Cons: Don’t like the wet curry dishes

Amazing flavor!!! - Edit
Anything on the entire menu can be made vegan and the flavors are amazing! I had the noodles with peanut sauce vegetables and tofu and the sauce is so delicious I'm saving the remainder to put more veggies into tonight for dinner

Consistency - Edit
I should get a job at 5 Star. I have literally eaten at this location 2 to 3 times a week for nearly a year. Everything is great but my favorite has to be the Panang Curry with vegetables and pan fried noodles, and an order of pineapple cashew fried rice to mix into a glorious flavor bomb of guilty pleasure, both made vegan. The fact that my orders are always taste identical is a true sign of skill and dedication.
Read morePros: Flavors that induce salivation, Consistancy of quality, Quality ingredients
Cons: No artificial meat options other than tofu, Portions could be larger, Doordash delivery results in vegan meal contaminat

Stopped in while passing thru town. Kitchen can make anything vegan on the menu. The taste of the food was absolutely amazing. Wish I could give 5 Star a 5 Star. Enjoyed pad Thai with tofu and spring rolls.

Veganized options are fantastic!! - Edit
If this app would let me give 5 stars to Five Star Thai I certainly would!! I ordered Pad Thai Woon Sen, Garlic Stir-Fry, Basil Fried Rice, and Fried Tofu. All of then veganized and all of them extremely delicious!! Tell them you're vegan and they are very accomodating with ingredients!!
Read morePros: Lots of options easily veganized.
