I suggest you try GNR Elephant Thai. Tell them what you are looking for and they'll accommodate your request if it isn't on the menu already (which, I believe, it is).

I only eat vegetarian at Thai restaurants since I keep kosher - I am not a curry fan but the vegetarian dishes I have ordered at the places I recommended are excellent - Thai Sookdee and Siam Splendour in Evanston and Ruby of Siam in Skokie -

Post #33 - January 1st, 2011, 11:06 amI agree with the mentions of TAC Quick - their tod mun (fish cakes) are very good, and I love their wonton noodle bowl - on rare occassions, the wontons have been a little gummy, but the overall flavor of the soup (with egg noodles and barbecue pork) is so good. The broth is incredible.
Indie Cafe is my all-time favorite spot. Their menu is half Thai, half Japanese/sushi. I've never had a bad dish there. My favorite appetizers are the gyoza (crispy chicken dumplings) with a shoyu vinaigrette so could I could almost drink it, veggie egg rolls, wonton crisps and chicken satay. Their cucumber salad is perfect. My favorite entree is the chicken yakisoba - I rarely stray from it, but when I do, the garlic chicken and basil chicken are equally as tasty.
And I never get out that way to have it, but the best bamee noodles I've ever had in my life (I'm a total bamee noodle junkie) have been at Opart Thai House. They're the standard I judge all other bamee noodles against.
