The coconut milk soup is excellent! The curry was spicy but not too The noodles and gravy get a B+ but was still good and doesn't lower my high rating
I have been coming to this restaurant (both the SJ and LG location) for years after a friend introduced me to it when I first moved up to the bay area. It has always been a favorite of mine and I've introduced many friends to dine here. The food is consistently good and flavorful. Whatever you get, it's usually pretty good. The only complaint I would have is that it's never spicy enough for me - no matter how spicy, extra spicy, thai spicy, really spicy I ask for my food to be - it's always kind of okay spicy. I have no idea why I can't get it made spicy enough for me - but it seems to be good for everyone else I go with, so I guess it's fine. Service is usually pretty quick. During the "to-go" only years, my food was always ready when I ordered for pick-up. When dining in, the atmosphere is quiet and calm, with the occasional big groups making big group noise - no big deal. I always have to have the papaya salad and usually rotate between the green beans with beef, spicy catfish, pumpkin or duck yellow curry, pad thai, pad seew and tom yum soup. Once in awhile, I'll opt for one of the other main entrees, but I tend to stick to the ones I've mentioned above as they are consistently good. I love when we go as a big group so I can order other dishes and try them as well.
We decided to try a new Thai restaurant tonight and ordered take out from Thai Spice All I can say is that this is now our favorite Thai restaurant. To start, the portions are very generous. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the restaurant to get our food. (By the way, the restaurant looks like a great place for a sit down dinner. The staff was super nice and very helpful too) The Red Panang Curry is absolutely phenomenal. It is filled with fresh bell peppers and veggies, tender chicken and lots of fresh basil. The flavor is amazing. Not too spicy. Not too mild. Every bite was delicious. Then we had Tom Kha Coconut Soup. It also was filled generously with mushrooms, baby corn, lots of tender chicken and a perfectly coconut/tangy broth. Absolutely amazing. Next we had Pad Thai. A very generous portion with lots of chicken and vegetables with a delicious sauce. The Thai Jasmine Rice was a perfect compliment to the rest of the food. This is now our new go to. Again... by far.... The best Thai food I've had in the area.
We came to Thai Spice on a Wed night. There was no wait and 3 other people seated. They always greet us with smiles, and they are very pleasant. When reading the reviews and looking at the poor quality photos, I think they are getting a disservice. We ordered Chicken Satay and Roti (unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo, so I had to lift one off the internet). The Satay is fresh and delicious. The condiments that come with it are also very tasty. The Roti was warm and flakey. The same peanut sauce that comes with the Satay comes with the Roti. It's thick and not watered down like another reviewer stated. Our entrees were Chicken Ra-Na with Broccoli instead of spinach (the guys favorite-fresh thinly sliced chicken and broccoli perfectly cooked with a thick peanut sauce), Pumpkin Curry - Veggie - medium spicy (always delicious - super fresh and loaded with veggies. The pumpkin squash is cooked so it falls apart in your mouth) hopefully someday it will get back to being served IN the kabocha, and Spicy Spaghetti - Veggie - medium spicy (fresh and delicious - think of it as Thai tasty chow mein with lots of delicious healthy veggies and not greasy like chow mein). We ordered white rice and shallot rice. The shallot rice is cooked in the pan with the shallots, so it takes on a crispier texture and darker color. We loved our meal. We didn't appreciate the loud table next to us of two women complaining about the price of the peanut sauce and how they don't eat rice or noodles (not sure why you would come to a Thai restaurant then). But it wasn't the restaurants fault for their lack of situational awareness. We've always loved Thai Spice and have never had a bad meal there or takeout. The pandemic REALLY hurt their business, so please give them a try if you're in the area.
This is some of the best thai food I've had in San Jose! I had the Pad Thai with vegetables. It was only $15 for a huge serving. The dish was full of vibrantly colored vegetables and the sauce was a nice deep rich color as well-- I note this because I've noticed that pad thai with a pale color doesn't taste as good, lol. The dish was tangy and sweet and somehow I was able to clean my plate(probably because I'd only eaten a scoop of protein powder mixed into water that day, but still). The waiters did a great job, ladling soup for us and being attentive to our table. The interior is nice, clean, and decorated, perfect for a dinner with friends. I'll definitely be back!
I ordered something new today, the Thai Mussamun Curry (gluten free) with chicken, special Mussamun curry and coconut milk with tender potato, carrot, peanut and onions and it was DELICIOUS! It was creamy, flavorful and had a little hint of spice. I forgot to take a photo of my meal because it was that good. I have before ordered their House Special Fried Rice and that was good! I typically order my food togo but I believe you can dine in now. The service is nice, friendly and fast and the ambiance is casual. It is located in a plaza with a lot of parking and it is easy to find. I highly recommend this place.
