“ The taste of food is exquisite here. Even though the price is a bit costly, it’s worth it. Perfect place to take your date. Panag curry is definitely suggested. Service is also really great. ”
“ This place was amazing. The decor was very simple but where they shine is their food and staff. Our waitress was extremely helpful she we asked for suggestions and came back multiple times to make sure we had what we needed. The food was quick and tasted as amazing as it looked. The Siam Shrimp was light and a perfect starter. The Roasted Duck Curry was loaded with duck and was a great balance of flavor. The Pad Cha Talay was spicy with tons of flavor. With Tiramisu was amazing. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be going back. ”
“ We enjoyed our visit here. We had lunch and you can get some really good deals. The portions were generous. The spring rolls were delicious. Park in the back lot (behind restaurant) for free parking. ”
“ Wonderful place. 5 of us ate there. Red curry, green curry, pineapple fried rice, pad tai. It was all wonderful! Great atmosphere. Very relaxing sit down experience. We were very pleased. The tea was cool. Note how the bag came through the top of the cover. Neat! ”
“ Absolutely loved the Pork "Wings" and Pad Kra Tiem Prik Thai. I wished I would have brought a party of 10, just so I could have tried more dishes. You could taste the love for the food. Service was great and the atmosphere was elevated and cozy. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Good place for lunch. Food was solid, server was nice. Would go back next time I’m in town. Paid attention to vegan requests. Pad pak: 8/10 needed a little more garlic Spring roll: 9/10 ”
“ I've traveled to the area several times over the past few years, and since finding The Thai Spice, I've made sure to eat here at least once per week I'm in town. Simple, elegant decor; quiet, intimate atmosphere, with light, pleasant jazz playing in the background. Seating is great for parties of one to four. Wait staff always knowledgeable, helpful and attentive, without hovering. And the food...the food! If you like Thai, or want to try it, you *really* should come here. ”
“ If you enjoy eating ginger chicken, you will NOT be disappointed at The Spice! It’s the BEST I’ve ever had. I enjoy their dumplings, as well, and carry out is also top-notch! ”
