I waited about 15 minutes for what I expected to be a decent lunch special, but it turned out to be quite disappointing at $19. The food lacked flavor, with the dominant taste being MSG, and the beef was overcooked, leaving it with a burnt flavor. Additionally, the staff never checked in about drink refills. While they seem like friendly people, my experience was marred by poor service and food that was merely passable. The promised spice levels were absent, despite their claims of offering various options.
I can't recommend this restaurant. It feels overly Americanized and seems to cater to those unfamiliar with authentic Thai cuisine. I had hoped that, being just a 4-minute drive away, I...
The food here is absolutely delicious, and the lunch specials are definitely a great deal. I work nearby and have enjoyed both dine-in and takeout over 30 times, and the flavor and quality never disappoint. My favorite dishes are the Crying Tiger, followed by Pad See Ew, any of the curries, Pad Thai, and Tom Yum Soup. I highly recommend this place for lunch, but I wouldn’t suggest it as much for dinner due to a price increase and the fact that the side of rice is no longer complimentary.
I have been dining at Spice Thai Cuisine since 2019, and every visit has been fantastic. The food is exquisite, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. I frequently bring friends and family here for dinner, and they all sing its praises. The portions are quite generous, so I often have leftovers to take home. I feel really lucky to live nearby!
I have eaten at Spice Thai many times, both dining in and getting takeout. My husband and I have very different tastes, but we both adore this restaurant. I usually order the chicken fried chicken and egg rolls, while my husband prefers the Thai basil and green curry. Despite trying out several other places, we always find ourselves coming back to Spice Thai.

I share the sentiments of many other reviewers: the Crying Tiger at Spice Thai is undoubtedly one of the best I've ever tasted, surpassing even some much pricier and highly acclaimed restaurants. The service is consistently polite and friendly, and the restaurant itself is clean. It's truly a hidden gem in this shopping center. I highly recommend it!
This charming restaurant features plenty of seating, a wonderful variety of lunch options, and an authentic Thai atmosphere. The friendly and welcoming staff are eager to teach you some Thai phrases and always greet you with a smile! There’s also ample parking available. Don't miss out on ending your meal with a delicious mango and sticky rice!
One of my favorite Thai spots in South OC. THEY ARE CONSISTENT and food is always tasty! Love their tiger cry and they have really awesome lunch specials and don't forget to try their Thai Tea! They definitely get busy during lunch time--so make some extra time! Their service is quick and attentive.
My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time and we both thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. I ordered the Crying Tiger, which was fantastic! My wife chose the drunken noodles, and they were incredible as well. We will definitely be back soon!

I was in town for a basketball tournament and stumbled upon this restaurant. The food was outstanding! I highly recommend it.
Surprisingly excellent. Trying Tiger was the best I've had. Even the lunch soup was excellent.
