Xang Thai & Sushi (Old Lovely Thai)

Had a great time with friends here. Chef Yoshi did an amazing job on the sushi and presentation and our server Kathy made us feel welcome with her hospitality. Definitely recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

I have been over to Thailand.. Chang Mai and Pattaya, and had my first Pad Thai over there. I have been to a handful of Thai places, and FINALLY found somewhere that makes AMAZING, authentic Thai food! Great service, kind and warm atmosphere, and I take a bow to the CHEF! My uncle who brought me to Thailand my first time agreed too. This place is the only Thai place I’ll go to now. And the sushi was as good as I’ve ever had as well. Very, very beautiful food, I do say

I live very close to this place. It's my go-to for the moment! It's the perfect place for those of you that live out of the way of other Sushi/Boba options. Their menu is extensive enough to have something new every time you come and not come across a bad meal! Best local Thai/Japanese food that isn't in the city around!

First time having Thai and they did not disappoint. Highly recommend, service was great and food was amazing.

They've really hit their stride. Been here 3 times since the change in ownership and It has gotten better and better. The Basil Beef Lunch Special was awesome ($12 for a generous Basil Beef entree, Tom Yum Soup, and an Egg Roll). The Sushi is great. The Tom Yum Soup was fantastic. Highly recommend the Bangkok Summer Roll if you enjoy cilantro.

We love this place and end up here at least once a week! We are vegetarian and find plenty of yummy options - the sweet potato sushi and vegetable sushi, Rama curry, vegetable curry fried rice, and the mango rice are our favorites. This place is the best Thai place in town and we highly recommend it! Cathy and Ravi, who run the place and serve the customers, are awesome and make us feel very welcome :)

We’ve been customers for a long time and were very wrong in our skepticism when it reopened as Xang Thai & Sushi. The new owner is super friendly and helpful in making recommendations from the new and improved menu. My old favorites (Rama Chicken & Tom Yum Soup) are even better than before! The addition of bento boxes and a sushi bar is fantastic and the atmosphere is really nice. Well done!

The food was amazing me and my girlfriend love coming to this spot for the mango sticky rice! One of the best and only Thai food spot around the area and glad that it is here. The food was amazing but wasn’t as amazing as the service the lady was super nice always wanting feedback and took very good care of us and made sure we had a great time. Highly Recommend!!

We had the shrimp spring rolls and they were great. I think even better than lovely Thai. Hubby had sushi that was very good. I had chicken pad Thai which was delicious. Going back soon.

Such great Thai food! Best pad Thai and my husband had Tom yum fried rice and it was so flavorful. Very impressed and will be back(:

Change in name, change in options. Love the sushi option now, busy for sure and now know why! Food was great, great spice level! Sushi was fantastic as well. Had to wait a little longer, but all good

I truly enjoyed this experience because of many things. I don’t even know how to express how great the food was, there was so much flavor but it was yet still so unique and simple. There were so many things on the menu such as Bento boxes, Japanese food, and different types of rolls and combos. I got the Crab Rangoon rolls and I have to say that those were some of the best rolls I’ve had in a while, it was so crispy and delicious. For dessert I got milk tea boba which was good but was kind of watery and there wasn’t too much boba but there is an option to get extra boba for $1. I couldn’t end this great experience without trying mango sticky rice, the rice was a nice smooth texture and the mango was nice and sweet. This dessert was warm and it made me feel at home because of how unique and nice this combo is. That is a Thai dish if anybody’s wondering! This concludes my great time at Xang Sushi and Thai

The atmosphere of this place is great! John and Kathy are the best and kindest servers. The food came super fast and was super good! The new addition of sushi was a great choice! The sushi is so flavorful and fresh.

Best Thai food around! NOW they have added an awesome sushi menu, and it was DELISH!!!!

My sister and I went here for lunch today. I got the chicken curry fried rice and the curry puffs. The owner is literally the sweetest person ever and the food was so good. My sister is vegan and got the Bangkok tofu (reminds you of orange chicken). She said it was the best tofu she ever had. I highly recommend this “lovely” place. Great food, reasonably priced, vegan options and a great owner.

Was just there an hr ago, used to go here before covid. They recently added Japanese food. Including sushi! Everything was amazing! The pad thai and tom yum soup were exceptional as always! But the sushi knocked it out the park!

Lovely Thai (now called Xang Thai & Sushi) has been our favorite Thai place in Lake County. Their food is delicious and well-, made, and everyone there is always very friendly and welcoming. The spice levels are great, with their highest "for-people-not-from-Thaliand" level at the bottom of Thai spice levels, so anyone can enjoy whatever amount of heat they want even within those levels. We love this place - thank you Xang Thai & Sushi, fka Lovely Thai!

Wonderful new ownership of a great Thai place in Grayslake. The most friendly staff, beautiful new decor along with a great Sushi bar. The food is delicious...tried both the Thai and Sushi. Great presentation and delicious!

First time trying after new ownership and I'll admit I like the new menu offerings. We ordered carryout for a Friday night dinner date over the phone. When arriving at the restaurant 30 minutes later they were very busy. Their restaurant was practically full and they had a short line for carryout. This kept me waiting an extra 10-15 mins but I understand it's the weekend dinner rush and I just was hoping the food was still good.

We ordered the crab rangoon, chicken basil fried rice, blue crab fried rice, shrimp tempura roll, and some boba teas. All tasted good. The recipe sure isn't like the original Lovely Thai but it was good in its own way. For the blue crab that I originally ordered they didn't have any blue crab available after I placed the order so they subbed with other crab meat and discounted from the dish price in the end. We were excited to know that they offer sushi now and tried the shrimp tempura roll because who can mess up something as simple as that roll? Guess what? We loved it. We will definitely be trying some more rolls in the future.

As for the overall state of things here I think the new Xang Thai & Sushi will be great. Lovely Thai will be missed but I'm glad Grayslake still has good Thai food options plus the added Japanese menu items. We can't wait to try more dishes and actually dine in their restaurant.

Fabulous!! I came here today bc I was starving after school. Lovely people, fattest rice noodles in town 😍 pickup was quick and the food is fresh and delicious. Thanks, Lovely Thai! 💕
Carryout only during the week right now. They do have dine-in on Friday and Saturday.
