Thai Spices

Allow me to start by saying that this is finally a place where you can get a plate of pad Thai, or curry with rice included for 10 bucks. Having been to Thailand and paid no more than $ 3 for an amazing entrée, I get a little disgusted going to places and seeing a curry dish for $ 13 and another $ 2 for an order of rice.
I had the green curry and it was off the chain. Definitely one of the better that I’ve had stateside. The only downside was that there was about just as much sliced ginger as there was other assorted vegetables, but nonetheless it was delicious. I got the lunch special so it was only $ 7.50 with soup and an egg roll. My wife had the pad Thai and that was also one of the better pad Thai dishes I’ve had.

We always eat here and it’s always amazing! We love everything about this restaurant. Our waitress always knows us by name no matter how long our visit Gap. Her little comments are always so funny and by adding that little touch of remembering our favorite dish or drink just ties into the fact we love it here!

I think this is one of the best Thai restaurants i have been to! Each dish i have tried is very authentic

Yummy in my tummy.
The massaman curry here is a winner. They have really good lunch specials that come with white rice and a side of souo.
The papaya salad is another favorite of mine here. You can pick how spicy you want it. We usually go with Thai hot.

Good food, good service, small portions…
So I am a big fan of papaya salad! It was one of my daily foods in Thailand so I know a bit about it… The papaya salad here is good but suck a small portion… I am a big guy so I need a big plate!
Service has always been good…
Food has been good every time…
I just need more to eat!
I would have given 4 stars for bigger servings…

We had the AppetizerSampler, Thai iced tea, Eggplant Seafood, Seafood Pad Cha and mango and sticky Rice. Oh my Lord! This food was so yummy and fresh. The Eggplant was cooked perfectly, not too soft or mushy. The seafood Pad Chambers was a sizzling platter that was perfectly prepared. The iced tea even had a cute origami rose on my straw.

I absolutely love stopping at Thai Spices whenever I’m in the area. I used to live down the street and would eat it at least a couple times a week. My fiancé and I just made a special trip a couple of weeks ago drove 45 minutes both ways, and it was totally worth it!

Came here to try their boat noodle. Base off the noodles I tried here it was a huge disappointment the broth was lacking flavor. It’s all about the broth. This review is based solely on their Thai Boat noodle.

This is AWESOME! I enjoyed our visit. Very clean and super quick from start to finish. The prices were on part with most Thai places. This one stands out by their curry. I ordered the masaman curry and it was one of the best I’ve had. I would recommend spicing it up a bit though. I did a #3 of spice and it didn’t bring any bite whatsoever but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’ll be coming back.

My friends and I like going here, but my last experience was SO disappointing that I don’t think I’ll come back again.
My husband and I came here for dinner and I ordered the grilled chicken dish. It came with a salad, rice and a pretty large serving of grilled chicken.
The salad wasn’t that great as it was doused in some kind of mayonnaise dressing. The flavors were fine, but it was literally a serving of mayonnaise with a side of salad… I moved on to the chicken and after cutting a slice off, we noticed it was pretty pink inside.
When the waitress came by, I asked her what she thought and she said she was sorry and took it back to the kitchen. She came back and said they were making a new one. My husband’s food was already out and I would have preferred they just threw the chicken back on the grill, but it was too late.
Anyway, my husband finished eating and still no sign of my plate. Just an apology and affirmation that it was still being cooked. I asked to just get it boxed so I could take it home and eat later. They didn’t even try to comp me for the dish, but whatever.
I didn’t get a chance to eat it that night, but the next day I was looking forward to having it for lunch. When I opened the box, I noticed they replenished the mayonnaise salad. Next, I lifted up the first piece of chicken and I couldn’t believe my eyes!!!
IT WAS THE SAME PIECE OF CHICKEN THAT I CUT A SLICE OFF OF IN THE RESTAURANT. There it was, the same «NEW» chicken that I waited over 20 minutes for. The best part? ALL OF THE PIECES WERE STILL PINK AND LOOKED RAW AS EVER.
Screw you Thai Spices (yes, I’m mad).

First time in Thai spices and first time trying yellow shrimp curry. The curry was medium (3) spice. It was my first time trying yellow curry I didn’t know what to expect but if definitely met my expectations. I bought the lunch combo which included the shrimp curry, steamed rice and a small egg roll.
The curry sauce was delicious, I mixed my rice with my curry and i fell in love, and the egg roll was good along with the sauce they provide for the roll … but the only item I didn’t care for was the shrimp. I only got 3 medium sized shrimp on my curry and the rest was veggies. I wish there was more shrimp on my plate, but for the price I can’t really complain it was less than 10 $.
Will I go back? Maybe.

Service was very slow. I waited for a long time just to get a glass of water. Then when I got my food tastes incorrect and missing peanuts for pad Thai. Last time I was there I ordered pumpkin curry and it too tasted bad. If I were you I would go to another restaurant to eat. I went to eat at many Thai restaurant and never had this experience before.

I love coming here for lunch! Their chicken panang is one of the best I’ve had! I recommend ordering the Bbq pork as well, so flavorful, reminds me of home! I haven’t had anything bad from their menu. Good service and prices! What more can you ask for?

I love this place, it is the best Thai resurant I have been to, try the Roaring Tiger and the eggplant with beef is amazing. Everything I have tried is great. I tried other Thai places but they do not compare!!!

The portions are terribly light on the protein and veggies… But heavy on the starch (rice and noodles). Additionally, I wasn’t thrilled with the pad Thai or the soup either. The green curry taste the same as the red curry… Maybe a little more red pepper in the red curry. The customer service was slow and rude even though there were only four other patrons in the restaurant. I would pass on this restaurant next time.

I order a Thai ice-​tea and it tastes awful. My friend took a sip and he agrees with me. I cannot describe exactly how it tastes like other than it is a mixture of the taste of Thai ice tea mixed with Thai food (before I have my meal). However, the meal that I ordered was quite delicious. I wanted a medium hot beef noodle dish and I did like it. They were generous with the beef and noodle portion.
The service was nonexistence unless you asked for things. Servers are polite but not very attentive. We had to look for them to give us refill while we were there.
I did come here once before and their curry chicken was good. I will probably come back here again for food… but won’t expect much of a service.

Had a pumpkin tofu curry ($ 7.95) and tried some roaring tiger and Thai boat noodle soup. The pumpkin curry had a thick red curry with perfectly cooked veggies and silken tofu. It was flavorful and just the right amount of spice (I requested medium). The roaring tiger came out in a sizzling platter. The sizzle and smell was amazing! The beef was marinated well. The Thai boat noodle soup was a large portion, with tender beef, rice noodles, and a lovely tasting broth.
Service was uneven as we had attentive service initially, but then the waiter forgot to refill drinks and check up on us as the meal progressed.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. If you’re in the Mekong Plaza area this is a tasty option for Thai!

I had a ridiculous craving for thai food the other night and wound up here and let me just start by saying… they have a pretty large menu. At first glance, this is in the same shopping plaza as a few other places that I really enjoy (the Com Tam place and the Snow place are in the same complex) and I figured it would look similar to them inside, and it was really nice inside in my opinion! Very large and spread out. You can tell that they definitely value the cleanliness of the establishment.
I had their pumpkin curry with chicken, medium heat, as I asked if spicy was in fact… super spicy? And the waitress implied that the hot would be tongue numbing. The flavors were really good, and yes, when in doubt, order lower for the heat! It was really delicious. My date got the Pad Thai (also medium) and I kept stealing his, it was that good.
Also, their thai tea had a cute little flower in the straw that I forgot to take a picture of, but I was obsessed!
Will definitely come back :)

You know a restaurant is legit when you see Thai people eating here!
I ordered the Pad Kee Mow instead of my usual Pad See Ew, and thought it was very delicious! According to my taste buds at least, I could say that their 1 – 5 scale (1 being not spicy at all, 2 being mild… up to 5 = spicy party in yo’ mouth!) is pretty accurate. I got the level 2 and thought it was very good. Presentation of the dish was also very nice.
Great, friendly service!

SOLID & CHEAP thai option that offers better thai than Tucson does (from what i’ve tried thus far)
LARGE PORTIONS, i could not finish my dish
—pad kee mao: PERFECTLY cooked noodles w/​a nice variety of veggies, yumm
interestingly enough this casual restaurant looks like it’s connected to the supermarket
NOTE: you can choose your level of spice & medium spiciness was perfect for me
