Best Thai food in town. A place that you need to try. Definitely coming back.

Amazing Thai food and excellent service! My best friend and I go here every time we go to the farmers market downtown and end up being super hungry bc the only things people were selling is pickles and brownies. The menu is so diverse, everything is very reasonably priced and SO delicious. The dishes are highly instagrammable if you're into that (think curry served in a fresh coconut with coconut meat still inside!) and they have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. Also, they have their own on site parking lot, so if you're on a first date and don't want to reveal that you can't parallel park, they've got you covered. If you're new to thai food, you can't go wrong w the panang curry w chicken. They also offer duck, alligator, snapper, etc as meat options for most of the dishes. The servers are so friendly (and hot and have awesome tattoos???) And the mango sticky rice is a must.

This place is the hidden gem of Corpus Christi! The food was so beautifully plated. The care and love that goes into the food shone through. It was every bit as delicious as it was beautiful, and the service we received just doesn't exist in this world anymore. The world needs more people like this. If you just want fast, run of the mill Thai food, this is not your place. If however, you want a dining experience and are in no rush and want to enjoy great food and people, I couldn't recommend more. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Big food portions and a very friendly owner. The Lamb & beef basil was great. However a little spicy, if you don't eat spicy food let them know in advance. Good quality food .

Amazing service very attentative and the owner was fantastic to us, food was very delicious with different flavors the more you eat down. I had the "drunken noodle" with duck, the wife had basil chicken fried rice. On point, looking forward to our next visit.

We loved every dish we ordered. Tried appetizers, Kids lunch. Pad Kee Mao Drunken noodles, Thai Basil fried rice served in crispy food bowl which is fresh to eat together. Tasty authentic food, Great presentation!

Dined in, sat in outdoor seating. Service was great. Food was absolutely flavorful, with attention to presentation. Beautiful place that was walking distance from Holiday Inn downtown. We will be returning!

Sometimes, I crave Thai food. Fortunately for me, Thai Spice is the best there is in Corpus Christi. I have been going there for many, many years. The chef has exceptional taste and is truly gifted. I just had one of my favorite dishes-Thai Spice duck, which exceeded all of my expectations. In addition, the service and hospitality have always been excellent. I highly recommend a visit to Thai Spice.

disregard all 1&2 Stars. We came in beach clothes, and service was great. As you can see from the pictures ,they have a very professional chef in the back. The food was delicious, and outstanding. The presentation was phenomenal. We plan on coming back here every single time we visit Corpus Christi. Great atmosphere. People happy and chatting when eating. If you want a taste of real Thai food this is it. Or you can drive around to those little ones in places that just serve you and get you out and get your money. This is authentic. And one heck of a chef.

One of the best Thai food I have had. We ordered for Red Curry, Pad Thai & ended the dinner with Coconut ice cream 🍨. Was skeptical with the price on the menu until we food arrived. This was the bestest red curry I have ever had - was so thick & flavorful! Special mention to the elderly couple who run the restaurant - they were super awesome in their approach towards all the guests. A big high five 🖐 to them!!

This is a must go eat restaurant. We went twice during our 4 day vacation. Fresh, delicious, authentic Thai, and beautifully served. Staff were all friendly and owners are the best!

Kindest staff always makes me and my family feel like we're at home. It's a beautiful atmosphere and they offered us gluten free vegetarian meals 10/10.

Came here with my husband back in 2019 so decided since we were passing thru with our children we would let them tell it as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you love Thai food like we do.

Everything was delicious! Truly the tastiest Pad Thai I've had. The selection was unique and the food did not disappoint. The duck was excellent! All entrees were presented in a wonton shell.

They know what gluten free is! Their soy sauce is gluten free. Great spot to eat

Penny is a great cook. She came to the greeted our table. She specializes our meal to perfection.

Owner was super friendly and the food was delicious. Walked out with a happy mind and a happy belly!!

Beautiful food that is fresh and flavorful! I was so impressed with the presentation and taste. It was truly so good that I wanted to cry. We have some lovely Thai places in Austin with great vegan options, but the hot pot here blew me away.

Are you kidding me right now?! Just when I thought I found the absolute best Pad Thai in the world (DrunknNoodlez) I find THIS PLACE!!! The service was absolutely perfect, the executive chef comes out and takes the order, the waiter is SO FUNNY and just had the best sense of humor and hospitality. Y’all are amazing Thai Spice, I’ll be back!!!

This place has amazing flavor and can veganize the entire menu. I am truly floored by the taste, portion size, and service. Thank you for being open!! This is my new favorite place in Corpus - worth a two hour drive for me!

Based on the Google reviews we went and it did not let us down.It’s an family owned Thai food restaurant and you will feel the DIFFERENCE in the food taste you may have ate in another restaurant. It was full packed and had to wait 30 mins advance booking recommended. We loved it, try soups and crispy curry options.

The food was amazing and the server was very nice this is a must go to place. The food presentation was spectacular the owners made me feel right at home and welcomed and I’ll be coming back soon.

I went to this place many times growing up. I just got to go back and tried the panang curry chicken and Thai iced tea. The curry had such a good flavor. The tea was also very good. This restaurant has maintained a high quality for many years. Would definitely go back whenever life takes me to Corpus.

Tucked away on water street. First time getting thai in Corpus. Visiting from Colorado. Will return next time we are back in town staying at our condo. Generous portions. Great presentation. Delicious food. Great service. Thank you.

Been wanting to try for a while with my wife, finally went today, it was great, good food and atmosphere, also wanted to say, they were really nice with my baby, brought some fruits for her as she's 9months. Would recommend to give it a try. A little pricy, but worth it as the quantity of food is there.

Thai Spice is amazing! The Basil Fried Rice is so yummy, and the Tom Yum soup has the perfect amount of spice. Even the kids enjoyed the tasty flavors. The service was really nice too—a great place for families with seriously delicious food. 👍🌶️🍜

I love this place so much. I've been coming here for 15 years, every time I've been in Corpus. Yes, it's a little expensive, but it's honestly some of the best meals I've had- certainly for where it is. The presentation is great, service has always been attentive, and it's just what I'm looking for, every single time. Get the crispy tofu.

The owners are amazing and the most adorable people I've ever met. I wish I lived closer so I could support them with all my business. I cannot recommend this place enough. PLEASE come here and enjoy the food, the amazing presentation, and more importantly, the people. Absolutely the best service ever!! My life is happier having met the owners. Seriously. 50 years married!!

I love Thai food and this is the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten compared with Thai restaurants in Austin, Houston, and Dallas and other big cities. The curries are so so delicious. My husband wasn’t a fan of Thai until i brought him here. The owners and chefs are amazingly nice and accommodating. I swear you can taste the care and love they put into their food. They really appreciate their customers. Every plate is a work of art. It does take a bit longer to get your food here but it is totally worth the wait. Order an app to tide you over. It’s low lighting and nice quiet atmosphere. Lots of good alcohol choices. I really like giving a restaurant like this my business. They make eating a meal a very special event.

Great first visit and will be back to try more of the menu. We stopped in close to closing taking in the Buc Days events and first Friday. Crab and shrimp fried rice was our choice. Great flavor!

Ordered the pad Thai, pad see ew, yellow curry, hot pot. Everything single plate was absolutely delicious. definitely on the spicey side, as the name states. Loved the customer service and the plate presentation

YUM YUM YUM! My husband and I visited on a weekday during the week and were promptly seated and served. I got the Pad See Ew and it was delicious. All of the noodle dishes are served in a fried batter bowl, and come with watermelon. Interesting, but delicious! Highly recommend

Our visit to the Thai Spice was fantastic! The dumplings were a tasty start. But the real star was the Vegetable Drunken Noodles with tofu—bursting with flavor and color. Not to forget in summer is their Thai Iced Tea. We can't wait to return for great food and warm hospitality.

We were served by the owner of the restaurant, who was very friendly and welcoming. All of our food came out quickly and was delicious, great portions with lots of flavour. Perfect end to our stay in Corpus, and would definitely come back next time we're in the area!

These dishes are POPPIN with FLAVOR. 🤯 Very tasty, flavorful, and well presented. I love that their menu is very inclusive of food allergies/preferences like vegetarian and gluten free 🙌🏼 We had the Panang Curry with shrimp, and the Tom Kha Gai, with Thai Tea. The Thai tea was a little too sweet for my personal preference but balanced out with a glass of water pretty nicely. Everything was ❤️‍🔥packed with flavor❤️‍🔥 and at a perfect temperature. Great customer service too!

This is a great restaurant with a variety of authentic Thai cuisines. Foods are really tasty, and the service is wonderful. I recommend families to have one dinner here while visiting Corpus Christi.

Oh delicious food, amazing service! If you’ve not tried this place out, you are missing out. I had crab and shrimp fried rice, oh how I loved it.😊 The owners are fantastic people; funny too. I laughed each time he came to our table to check on how our meal was going; I enjoyed every bit. please if you are reading this review, start heading to the restaurant, of course on their open hours; go and patronize them. Highly recommended!

Every time I visit Corpus Christi. I make sure to stop at Thai Spice. The food is spectacular and the plating is a true art. Feast your eyes on this. I had the lamb and jalapeño poppers as an appetizer and for dinner I had the 1/2 roast duck. Every was so delicious.

Stopped by Thai Spice restaurant recently and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was beautifully prepared with rich, balanced flavors that really hit the spot. The spicy edamame was absolutely delicious!! Our server was outstanding friendly, quick to check on us, and made sure all our needs were met. The interior was impressively clean and welcoming too. If you’re in Corpus Christi or visiting and want top notch Thai, this is the place!

I really like this place; small, well appointed and great food. Authentic Thai, and so it the owner. Great guy. We had the Curry Chicken, mild, and the quail. Excellent. For dessert we shared the Durian and Sweet Rice. I was pleasantly surprised as I thought it would smell horrible. Actually not at all. The texture was a little stringy, but smooth and the taste somewhat similar to papaya. If you've never tried it, this is the place to do so. Enjoy.

We have found this place a couple of years ago and since then have continued to make it a point to stop here during every trip here in Corpus! The prices are a bit pricey but worth it due to the quality and love and care that is put into their dishes. This place is a gem that we are glad to have found!

Although a few extra rays of sunshine may have shone down on favored tables, I never saw anybody left out in the cold, not even a sweet and out-of-place young couple dressed as if for church. But if the dining room staff now treats newcomers like long-lost friends, it is doing so at a time when there are very few reasons for anyone who isn’t already a regular to visit

Misty Mountain

AMAZING food. AMAZING presentation, lovely atmosphere, and top notch service. How are y'all sleeping on this place!?

Over from the UK for Thanksgiving hols and had a lovely meal and experience. The owner was super friendly and chatty, and the food was lovely. Good vegan and vegetarian options too! Would definitely go back!

Loved the ambience and the presentation of the dishes here at the Thai Spice 😻, and the green curry with chicken, aww , it was super delicious 🤤 , definitely coming back

The food was so good and the service was so kind. Would definitely come back again.

This is a special place. Table cloths, starched napkins, you can hear yourself think, delicious elegant food. Its hard to find a downside to this place. I gave the service 4 stars because the waiter (who was slammed with customers) didn't bring us a to-go box or a to-go cup. That was the only shortcoming in the fabulous meal that my date and I had on a Friday in early September 2025. My date had the pineapple fried rice that was presented in what appeared to be a taco salad bowl. The rice was a short-grain Asian variety with shaved carrots and other vegetables. The large shrimp that were added on were served with their tails on and a lovely "canoe" was carved out of a fresh pineapple as both a decoration as well as an interesting side dish. It was fantastic and I enjoyed her willingness to share the meal with me--the portion was more than adequate. Still though, I think I won the evening with my selection of Wagyu Meatballs served over noodles. The dish was served in a metal bowl that itself was heated so there wasn't a "cold" bite in the entire experience. I enjoyed everything about the dish; the broad noodles had marinated in the sauce from the meatballs causing huge flavors in what may have been a lesser dish in some establishments. The restaurant has a feel of an "old time" establishment. We were intrigued by the "hot" rankings--signified by red peppers next to the items on the menu. "How hot is hot?" was what we asked the waiter. He said that 2 peppers there would be like four peppers elsewhere. He wasn't kidding. The owner or perhaps the senior staffer took our order and gladly included a small sampling of the hottest sauce they featured so that we could sample the heat factor. It was punitive. Compared to other places where service has gone the way of the dodo bird, Thai Spice was a welcome change. To say that we will return is putting it mildly. We're enthusiastically looking forward to the next event whereby we can experience the delight once more.

Food was was very good. Restaurant has a quiet ambiance and wait staff is attentive. We always try to visit at least once when we are in town.

The best food in Corpus. The nicest cleanest restaurant and impeccable amazing service. New all time favorite place to eat.

We stopped by Thai Spice after a long sun-soaked day at the beach, starving, and the food did not disappoint. We had the shrimp & soft shell crab fried rice and Thai fried chicken wings. Everything was homemade (even the soy sauce), flavorful, fresh, and satisfying, exactly what we needed after hours in the sun. The warm welcome from the elderly man at the front was a highlight. He shared stories about his life in Thailand that made the place feel truly authentic. However, restaurant itself could use some serious improvements. While the vibe does remind you of Thailand, it’s hard to justify spending at least $40 per person given the condition of the place. We couldn’t help but wonder where all that money is going. We ended up there mainly because most other restaurants were closed.

We stopped by this little gem called Thai Spice, and right from the start, the owner greeted us with such warmth—it really set the tone for the meal. My wife had the coconut milk soup, which was rich and flavorful, and I ordered the Crapar Shrimp. It came in a deliciously filled casserole with vegetables and shrimp, and the crispy rice at the bottom added the perfect texture. I absolutely loved it. If you're in Corpus Christi and craving top-of-the-line Thai food, this place is a must-visit!

This a very beautiful small Thai restaurant. When I walked in a gentleman greeted me immediately. When I chose a seat he asked me what I’d like to drink and I ordered a Thai tea. When he brought the drink out I was surprised how big the glass was! Most Thai restaurants offer a small little glass but here they don’t not t skim out on a good drink! While I was looking over the menu the server brought out a complementary vegetable soup. He said the restaurant only offers this during lunch hours. The soup was light and refreshing. It had a light tomato taste with potatoes and cabbage in it. I was really in the mood for curry so i ordered the red curry with roast duck. The duck was cooked very well and the red curry is a bit spicy so just watch out if you cannot handle spice. Inside the red curry come with red bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and zucchini (I think). With the dish you’ll get a bowl of rice, a whole pineapple slice, and a fried dumplings with the dipping sauce. Everything was really good and the curry had so much flavor and spice I would love to come back!

Our waiter was so sweet! Vegan friendly and he was sure to ask and let me know in the kindest way. We had the crispy tofu and vegetable dumpling appetizers and the red curry w vegetables. That curry has a kick, but so good! Watermelon was a sweet treat 😊 Hibiscus tea is flavorful and refreshing too! Will return so I can try more things, especially those vegan friendly desserts 😋

Definitely next visit of Corpus Christi we will dine in here . Love form New York

The best ever Thai food I have eaten till now! Their food is amazing and service is good. I have visited this place couple of times and the old couple who runs this place are very nice. Their food is so authentic and tasty. Green curry and basil fried rice are very good. You can ask for green curry in a coconut which adds a good flavor and tastes amazing. Also you can ask other items in a bowl which is basically a crispy bread. I liked everything I tried there. I will be dining here every time I visit Corpus Christi!

Tasty food, visually appealing too! There was a group of young people having a get-together and another group of people having a birthday party. But our order was served in a timely manner. Friendly staff. Giving 4 star because my food was a bit too spicy, while I asked for medium spice. We enjoyed our dinner very much!

We visited Corpus Christ this week and found the best Thai food around this place based on google reviews. The ambience is really cool. We ordered couple of veggie and non veg appetizers and main course. The lamb main course was okay but the food was colour fully decorated. The veggie fried rice tastes so good. Yes ping must try this place.

Hit or miss - very inconsistent. See two photos from a couple weeks apart of theoretically the exact same dish (Lemongrass Chef Special). First time was excellent, good portion, luxury vegetables and fruit on the side, and rice on the side (baby bok choy, pineapple). Second time the portion looked as big, but the rice was under the chicken/vegetables, so in fact the portion was not that great, especially given the price (16.95). Also vegetables were a lot more pedestrian (lots of onions, bell pepper, carrot). I appreciate they may be choosing to use what is fresh and available, but they need to find a way to adjust prices or something else to make up for this. Presentation was nice both times. The prices are too high. Everything is 20% more than I think it should be for the quality/service/location.

The good: Atmosphere and service were very good. The "okay" : The food was just slightly better than your average Thai place. And for the prices they charge, that's a problem. The Bad: Over priced for the quality and they stick you with a credit card fee as well.

Was pleasantly surprised with the almost quiet intimate atmosphere. The food was far more appealing to the eye than I expected to receive. Service and food were tasty and great quality. Prices were decent.

!! Automatic 20% tip, regardless.!! Food was good, service was hot or miss. This is probably because they know they're getting a tip no matter what. Spice levels were on point though. Presentation was great as well. Don't go if you're in a rush. You will be there for a while.

Our family shared the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles and Basil Fried Rice. The food was delicious and the presentation was excellent! The service was amazing as well! I didn’t get a picture of all the dishes but is place is great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏼👏🏼

Service is great; everything came out in a timely manner and our waiter was just fantastic. Food tastes good too: they're not kidding when they say their "spicy" is actually spicy! The 'exotic' proteins are interesting, though I'm not sure I'd pay for that again; I would highly suggest eating it once just for the experience. Be aware, their fish doesn't come completely deboned. Prices are a bit more than you'd pay at other Thai places, but the food doesn't taste institutional, so you really are supporting a small family business. Portions for savory food are medium to large. Their coconut ice cream is the bomb; you gotta get some of that rich creamy goodness! Also, the ambiance is relaxing and a cultural treat. This is a lovely little gem!

My friend and I went here today and the food was great! we both were very welcomed, everyone was accommodating and nice. we met the owner who was very sweet. the food was great, and offered so much so it was worth the price. i would definitely come here again.

Good taste and service. Has vegetarian and vegan options.

Nice atmosphere and good food! Truth: it was Christmas and we really didn't have a choice, but would have chosen this place anyway, i think! Prices were a bit high on account of the "holiday menu" but presentation was beautiful with fancy bowl for my curry, artfully diced pineapple wedge, and pad Thai that came in a fried tortilla! Quite unique. Curry had copious veggies and tofu, no skimping! Service was attentive and the owners were cracking jokes and being very hospitable. They obviously had some regulars in, and it was a filling, satisfying, and enjoyable dinig experience.

Good presentation, Service can be a bit faster. There was almost a gap of 15 mins for our 2nd dish to come. Meat was medium rare , while we clearly mentioned we want it well done. Friendly staff

Im going to be honest coworker hyped it up to much. The food was pretty bland and the chicken and beef were to chewy. Service was great though so much respect to the gentle men that served my table.

Service was great, ambience was great but disappointed with Khao Soi ...it was bland with little or no salt, very little sauce and when I asked for more sauce it was going to be an additional $4.95! When I tried to mix the food, I noticed that the noodles were white! They were never mixed with the veggies and sauce.

Lynn Roe

Food quality and presentation is good. Priced like 4 star resturant however. I only write reviews when I have something to write about so... 1) charged for use of credit card as much as tax. I got no warning..... Double charged for one item, (fixed when pointed it out) When I ordered, they did not have one item on the combo menu and could not substitute one of the other items that was on the plate (ok, give me two of the other items).. no😏 To the owner, don't blame waiter, he was nice, but not empowered.... Your food was good, but you fail with basic customer service. Who charges for use of a credit card on a $75 bill when your food is priced like a 4star resturant?

We went here thinking it's the same Thai Spice restaurant like the ones in the Houston area. We were dead wrong. The food does not taste like Thai food, but more like a fusion. The elderly gentleman was friendly. The staff did not look Thai. I didn't taste the usual complex blend of Thai flavors, which includes spicy, salty, sour, sweet, and umami (fish sauce). See my photo of the pad see ewe, which was served in a tortilla shell and included edamame (?!). Expect $30-$40 per dish.

We definitely will not be returning to Thai Spice. We love Thai food, and were excited to find a Thai restaurant in Corpus that we had not tried. The wole experiencs was under whelming. The service was incredibly slow, though it was not crowded and they had several people working. Dust, rust, mold, and bugs were seen throughout. My appitizer plate was dirty. Our order was wrong, and no apology was offered for the wrong food, and we were dicouraged to send it back for the correct dish. The first 3 beverages we attempted to order from the menu they were out of, and they were charging $5.00 for a can of soda...which seemed pretty steep for an expired soda. The presentation of the pineapple on our Pad Thai plate was beautiful and ended up being the beat part of our meal. We are still trying to figure out why our Pad Thai was served in a fried tortilla bowl. We should have done a deeper dive into the reviews. The first few listed were great, I should have kept scrolling. I am glad for the folks who enjoyed their meal and experience, and wish ours would have been more like those reviews.

Over spiced in general even when you choose dishes with no 🌶 marked or say “just a little bit” Not great tasting and definitely not how good Thai food taste in Thailand. No full service so do not expect to get any mixed drinks. Restaurants that automatically add gratuities (18%) to checks show bad manners in my opinion. If you need to get paid more just simply add it to the price of your dishes. It also state that if you share food they will charge you $4 extra. They also do not serve the dishes to your table at the same time so people have to look on while others start eating (3 person table).

Place looks great. People are real nice. There the good things end. Food comes out super slow and out of order. (I ordered stir fry and an appetizer, the appetizer came out ten minutes after the entree.) Food itself is presented really well but done in a way to hide that there's not really a lot of it there. Beyond that it's okay, palatable, lacking in spice and flavor but not offensive or off-putting. Mediocre, really. On top of that it's more expensive than it should be, especially given the options in the area. Unless you're right next door I recommend finding another place to go. Also, if you have a time table you need to respect you absolutely need to go somewhere else.

The presentation of food is superb. However, it doesn't meet the taste. If you don't like spicy level then don't expect to have any seasoning on your meal at all. The waiter was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu.

I was really excited to go here, until I went. We went at 1pm for lunch and the lunch service was already over so we had to pay dinner prices for the same food. The pad see ew noodles were covered in black pepper, with not much else in terms of spice. The Penang Curry tasted like it was from a concentrate, not made fresh. The servers didn’t know the menu very well and needed us to point at the dishes to get our order. Prices were pretty steep as well, for the food we got I would expect to pay between $20 and $30. Our bill came out to over $85.

Very expensive for not much value. Cost $150 for four people, including three adults and one child. Bill included a charge for $6 for credit card processing. Food served in taco shells and menu is overly complicated and poorly laid out. Food taste was “ok,” but would not return. Service was mediocre. Dishes were brought out individually over a span of 20 minutes even though we ordered at the exact same time. They brought the child’s meal last, which makes zero sense.

The prices are very high and the portions are tiny. They did not offer us a drink menu brought the wrong food out and out of the four entrées we got they brought them out one at a time 10 minutes apart. Brought us the wrong food twice. We had to cancel our other two meals.

What a Tom Yum soup! It’s 28 dollars! Guess what I got? Two little bowls soup with four little shrimps in total, 5-6 slices carrots and zucchini, 4 cherry tomatoes, and a few slices of onions. oh! Also two fingers wide salmon! And if you ask about flavor? Hmmm, buy a instant Tom Yum soup paste in Asian supermarket, it would be better than this 28 dollars Tom Yum soup. Btw, you don’t get any rice. (The price on their menu is 20 dollars, be aware about their price!)

Ordered red curry with calamari and pad thai with crispy salmon and shrimp. 5 star - ambience: the restaurant is very cozy and decorated nicely. 5 star - presentation: the food is served with carved fruit and gold dishes. This makes the portion sizes smaller, but a nice touch. 1 star - taste: in comparison with thai food from LA, NYC, and Denton it was a 2 on a 10 point scale. The spice in the curry was evident, but there was no savory notes. I have never had to request salt and pepper at a thai food restaurant. I did enjoy the option of different proteins such as calamari, lamb, and crispy salmon as compared to the normal shrimp, chicken, and beef. 1 star - service: when seated at 7:19 pm the waiter should have mentioned that the kitchen was under staffed. We received our food at 9:24 pm. We received no coupon, discount, or at least an appetizer egg roll or something for the wait.

Things have changed over the years. Please have patience and wait for your order. It will be late for sure. Red curry : 1 hour and 4 min to be precise

We came here a few years ago and I enjoyed a lemongrass dish. Also loved the mom and pop feel. We were visiting Corpus Christi again and decided to order dinner to go from here. It was really disappointing. We all ordered our favorite Thai dishes but none of them looked or tasted like they have from other restaurants. I had the tofu Thai basil which according to the online menu should have green beans, it didn’t. There was maybe two pieces of basil and the sauce tasted like straight chili garlic sauce. It was gross. The food and sauce was put on top of the rice so the rice didn’t even lend a break from the nasty heat. I don’t mind spicy food but it should have a good flavor, not straight from the chili garlic sauce jar. My husband ordered spicy fried rice and it had the same flavor and was so dry. My son ordered Pad see eew which had the same veggies as all the other dishes even though all of the descriptions were different. Sadly I don’t know if it was the noodles or sauce but it tasted like plastic. He didn’t eat it. The one thing we did all enjoy was the crispy fried tofu appetizer. The egg rolls were meh and fried wontons tasted like they were fried twice. If you look up their online menu the pricing is absolutely incorrect. The entrees are 17-23 bucks then I think if you are ordering meat there is an additional charge. Save your money and taste buds and visit Vietnam restaurant, just right down the road, no hidden fees or add ons, and the food is a million times tastier.

Food is okay. Atmosphere is not good for the money they are charging. Carful with your order as other hidden charges are added to the bill.

THAI SPICE..... as I heard the name from my wife I got all excited for delicious Thai food, especially being the top fav cuisine of mine. if this is the only option for you to select to eat for any reason you must go as starving isn't the option but beside that I won't even attempt given another try to the place for FREE even Reasons...... My excitement didn't last long and by the time we finished meal and got done I was on a next level of disappointment. Except food which was somewhat satisfactory, rest everything was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. Few pointers to note... 1. The place is so filty that the whole ceiling of the restaurant is either leaking or molded, and that made me wonder if this is the quality they maintaining for main dinning hall, how the kitchen might be? (For reference see the pics) 2. The serving plates were filthy, I mean a restaurant representing themselves as fine dine in place, and the food being served in plates has stains and utensils smell bad. (For reference see the pics). 3. Price wise or I shall say overall total wise, they are just trying to steal money from every possible ways, I mean a restaurant have priced their main entree over $24-29 (avg) and a soup bowl over $14, they force you to pay 20% gratuity whether you eating solo or as a couple or party of more, and it's just not the end they even force the credit card fee for the payments. Worst part is when you feel being ripped off because even after being charged fixed 20% gratuity and additional credit card fee you got to walk to their desk to ask for refill glass of water, walk to them to ask for check and pay at the cou ter itself. And it didn't finish there, when we asked to-go box for the remaining food they handed over a fountain coke drink glass to carry the dish. Also to mind one another factor of they trying to rip off by adding additional $4 if you share your main entree with your spouse, kid or anyone on the table. In overall this place gave me the WORST TIME/EXPERIENCE..

20% gratuity when for to go box they give is cold drink glass which leaks , no service on table you have to pay at front desk, go to ask for box and all. Paul the owner seemed good person but... they need to work on how they are charging... they also chargr credit card fees no matter what and 20% gratuity on top when service of that level is not provided. If its for food then the price of each dish itself priced accordingly (like $14 for a soup with shrimp or $23 for a curry dish so food is pricey itself may be based on region or quality) but other so many charges made no sense... oh one more thing $4 if you share your entree with people on your table as well applied... And, worse is when my husband asked why so many add on charges apart from dish cost , the lady replied you are wearing gucci belt you should not mind... like really if someone is wearing a branded attire you will charge anything and wont care to share information ? All in all,Paul (owner guy) good person but they definitely need to work on service given by that lady at front desk and review the additonal charges imposed.

If the presentation matched the quality of service and the food this place should get a 5 star. It took 57 minutes to get our meal which looked amazing until we ate it. The beef was suppose to be tender and it was tuff. After the owner gave us the check and I explained to him that the service was bad and the food wasn’t what I was expected for the price of the food, he threaten me by saying he was going to slap me if I said anything else. He explained that his was wife was the cook for over 20 years. Maybe she should retire. Changed my review from 2 to 1 stars. 3 people $110 and we didn’t even order Alcohol. $20 plus the cost of meat, who does that?

It's unfortunate when you have to write these kind of reviews, especially when I have such fond memories of this restaurant as a child. The food was always so delicious. But that can't be said anymore. A few night ago we ordered takeout from here and the interaction was odd from the start. When I called to order I asked for two Pad Thai with the same toppings and meat choices but different heat levels. This was apparently too complicated and they said they would just make both not spicy and put hot sauce on the side, which is honestly crazy. They also badgered me when I told them I would be there in 30 minutes, they asked why I couldn't come sooner. Mind you there was still a hour and half before closing. When we got there 30 minutes later the food wasn't ready even though there were no other patrons in the restaurant and no other togo orders. We had to wait another 15 mins. Then comes the bill. 75 dollars for two Pad Thai's with beef and tofu. We also asked for roti paratha, which we were charged 10 dollars for but never received. The prices are honestly insane when you consider the next part. The Pad Thai was absolutely the worst I have ever had. It had almost nil flavor, and it had more celery and veggies than anything else which as far as I know isn't common ingredients to put into Pad Thai in the first place. The meat was barely seasoned and several pieces were almost raw. For how expensive it was it was a huge let down. The only bright spot was the older gentleman in the front was very polite and nice in person when we came to pick up our order. But I will not return again. Point blank. The food was absolutely atrocious. It's sad to see how far the quality has gone down especially with the extremely high prices considered. Tuk tuk Thai is far cheaper with far better quality. Thai cottage is a close second.

We arrived at the restaurant on 1/24/26 at approximately 6:45 for dinner. We were a group of 10 and we waited over an hour and fifteen minutes for our orders with no explanation or anything from the staff. There were customers who came in after us and received their meals in a timely manner. The host kept telling us the food was ready, but we never received our meals. They did server the 4 women who were with us by bringing out 2 orders after an hour and a 3rd meal about 10 minutes later. The service was unacceptable with no apologies or anything. Three of us got up and left while two stayed behind.

We came here for dinner and food was delicious and very nice service with owners. It was four years ago. 😢😢😣Today, we so excited to come back and bring my family to come . We are very disappointed with taste of food , service, and uncomfortable. We ordered pineapple 🍍 fries rice and taste like curry rice . Tom yum soup with cucumber, bell peppers, daikon, pineapple, white onion, and slice of lime 🍋‍🟩 add more money for shrimp. Taste very very sour like lime and no smell like Tom yum soup. We ate many many Thai restaurants and we could tell what Thai food taste like. We didn’t finished it because too sour. Mango sticky rice, we ordered two orders and they combined in 1 plate , we saw the staff go to front door and tear a real leaf 🍃, run to kitchen and few minutes later, they brought desert to us and of course, leaf on the plate as decor🥹. We used to order mango stick rice frozen and put in microwave, taste and mung beans still hard , taste the same frozen , only different is fresh slices mango 🥭. Coconut 🥥 milk eat with rice not taste anything just like milky water . Thai tea was taste like water , tea , and sugar . 20% tip auto add to the bill . Even no service . Extra cost if any item shareable Ask for the receipt which list each Oder, lady owner said no , we keep this , and only give a paper with total bill . We left the restaurant very upset . I feel bad with my family that I talked a many good things about last experience dining here. We don’t mind if we pay money, but at least, food would be better like taste before bring to table and need to be more training if restaurant want to last long. Also, food should be keep original taste like Thai not like available ingredients mix. Total bill around $138 ( tom yum soup, pineapple fry rice, 1 Thai tea, 1 coke , 1 beer, 2 mango sticky rice) We didn’t want to leave when we see menu and service because I tell my family that food so good and just give them a chance , so we just order two dishes and two deserts. Owner ask “ is it for everything with four people “ . I think he should recognize about customer feelings and very unprofessional service.
