Chanida Thai Cuisine

Christopher Gregory

Checking in to spread some love for our local restaurants, by returning to one my old pots that I haven’t been to in years - Chenayda. A very cozy and quiet establishment right here in Calimesa not far off the 10-freeway, soft lighting and actual quality Thai decor, you’d be missing out glossing over this place. Tonight’s order was chicken fried rice, extra chicken, and their maximum level of heat. Very pleasantly surprised by the very nice sized portion I was served, and that the heat was different from most places. I You see, usually high heat = drowned in spicy sauce, like sriracha. Here, the spicy seasoning did exactly what I wanted: complimented the flavors of the dish. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve enjoyed spicy fried rice of quality like this. After a crazy day (and a hectic meeting earlier), the soft water falls and relaxing nature was the perfect setting to enjoy. Staff were extremely friendly and kept checking in on me as well. Give yourself a break and stop in.

I had the pleasure of dining at a place I’ve never eaten at before, Chanida Thai Cuisine in Calimesa. They have a great menu full of many good choices to choose from, we tried the Orange Chicken, Pad Thai, and Pork Lo Mein. All were very tasty and satisfying! staff were kind and friendly, and prices were reasonable. Enjoy good Thai food give Chanida a try.

The food is really good and is what you would expect. The menu has plenty of options to choose from so whatever you're feeling within the genre you will find what you're craving. I had the lamb and broccoli dish which was very good and crispy chicken wontons for the appetizer. The meal hit the spot with the restaurant having a great atmosphere: dimmer lighting than most which is a relief from all the other restaurants that have those too bright LEDs that give you a headache. It was a relaxing and satisfying experience. Wasn't noisy. Very clean.

Love this place. Delicious food, good prices. Lunch is only $8.95 and includes a soup, salad and drink. Friendly staff and the place is very clean with some relaxing asian music playing in the background.

Excellent food for an amazing price! $9.95 lunch specials everyday that include Tom Kha soup, salad, and rice. The Pad Kee Mow was delicious and had the perfect heat level. The panang curry and Pad Thai were also very tasty. They used really good cuts of meat as well. Will be back for sure!

My family loves this place, friendly ppl, gd prices,land delicious food, their sea food is amazing, they have too many plates of shrimps (fried,cooked,grilled), also the noodles are great specially if ordered spicy, and don’t get me started on the appetizers they do have a plate of “money bags” that I highly recommend also the sea food soup is amazing i don’t really enjoy sea food but i love it.

Been to Thailand several times. This is just like eating there. Does not get any better. Had the lunch menu Pad Thai. Almost couldn’t finish it. Great food and service.

Was on a quest to find Jungle Curry, and was happy to find it so close to home. Good experience with the staff, as they were friendly and accommodating, despite the current restrictions on restaurants. Will look forward to trying something new next time I go.

For dinner, we experienced a calming ambiance with a relaxing water feature (in the evening, it is dim inside). Employees are very friendly. We were impressed with their attentiveness. Food made fresh. Everything we ate was delicious. Meats were perfectly cooked. We will be returning soon. *Thai Tea *Pad Thai *Pad Kee Mow *Panang * Mango Sticky Rice

The staff is very nice and the food is great at a fair price.

Tried this Thai food place, I was very pleased with the food, service was top tier, I love the decor, so I got drunken noodles with chicken and egg rolls, and I absolutely was excited to get back home and eat my meal, nice portions and I like spicy 🔥 but it wasn't so spicy that I couldn't enjoy it, I will definitely be back with people 😊

This is a casual but super lovely Thai Bistro in Yucaipa it is on County Line Road in a strip mall that if you blink you won't miss it so don't miss it. They have fabulous lunch specials Monday through Friday that are very reasonably priced and to die for fabulous because they include your salad your soup a heaping mound of rice your entree and your drink of choice... also don't miss I think it's just coconut shrimp on skewers they are to die for fabulous

Definitely a gem of a restaurant here!!! The chicken was SO tender and delicious! If you blink you could miss this restaurant but it is worth a try... you will be back!!!

Great little Thai restaurant. The Penang lunch special with shrimp was absolutely delish! With a soft drink added, the price of this wonderful huge, delicious meal was about the same as a regular size Big Mac meal. Makes you stop and think about your lunch choices right? I’ll be back and I highly recommend.

Food was good. It’s also called Thai’s chili so I’m not sure why it has two names but it’s good.

Food is always great customer service portions are big without losing taste and quality love this place great spot for Thai food food is always hot and taste is consistent never had a bad meal here highly recommend

The food was good. The shrimp tasted fresh. Noodles were done correctly. Not too spicy. Building faces west and blinds were drawn making it dimly lit and difficult to read the extensive menu until eyes and/or photochromic lenses adjusted.

Excellent customer service. I ordered takeout. The woman who assisted me was very attentive and worked efficiently throughout the entire restaurant. She even opened the door for me on my way out. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed in the food. I ordered Pad Thai and Pad See-Ew. On both dishes the noodles seemed a little over cooked and the flavor of the Pad Thai seemed like it was missing some flavor. Again the service was exceptional. I just wish the food was as good.

Generally descent food and reasonable service. Lately though flavors haven’t been as punchy and on my last order I asked for mild curry as my wife is recovering from surgery - it was far hotter than the norm, let alone mild. Will be asking for a refund.

We’re vegetarian and asked for the meal to be made vegetarian. We used to go here about once a week. This last time the chef himself came out and screamed at us for “wasting him money”. I cant believe my entire family was screamed at for being loyal customers for years - just because we requested a vegetarian option. Don’t support this place.
