    I went here for takeout. I tried the chicken fried rice. Had to wait much longer than the…read moreoriginally quoted time. Staff were very pleasant but seemed too busy considering there were only 2 tables with people at them. The portion was a nice size but it was mostly things other than chicken. It tasted OK but not good. Nice smaller place, parking is decent.

    I'll start off the review with location, it's in a plaza off a really busy…read more major road. There is free parking since it's in a plaza. The restaurant appears to be a little mom and pop shop. Upon arrival the hostess was on the phone and just waived us off to seat ourselves. After her phone call she did come greet us and bring us menus. It was pretty empty during late lunch a little after 1:00 p.m. Decor and ambiance was as I mentioned earlier mom and pop shop feel. The menu consisted of Thai and Lao food we tried a few things but found the flavors lacking in a few areas. The pad seew was very close to being traditional Thai Pad seew, but traditionally there are never any carrots or cilantro added to the dish, the cilantro which I normally love cilantro was too floral and made the Pad Seew taste like soap. The Lard na was deemed "just okay" by my father in-law again the randomly added carrots. The sausage was over priced for literally 1 sausage cut into smaller pieces and lacked flavor and it was a bit gamey. The cucumbers slices served with all the meals were too mature to be served the way they were, just huge thick slices, if you're a gardener you'll understand. The papaya salad I don't recall anything good or bad about it. The squid salad was not what we expected but still good, again nothing that makes me say I need to try this again. Would we try it again "maybe."

    Thai spice is one of my favorite restaurants to order take out from (good portions, super…read moreflavorful, noodles not mushy after transit). My partner and I went in person for the first time recently, and while we thought the exterior + dining room were unassuming/basic, the food continues to be phenomenal! We ordered the tom yum soup, som tum, pla sam rod with salmon and the duck choo chee. The tom yum soup was one of the best I've had - tangy, spicy and not overly sweet. The som tum unfortunately was sweeter and had less fish sauce and garlic than I would've liked, but the veggies and papaya were super fresh. The salmon pla sam rod and duck choo chee were both fantastic! The pla sam rod sauce was a great balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. The salmon and basil were fried perfectly and held up well to the sauce. The duck was also fried perfectly and stayed crispy despite the red curry + coconut milk that coated it. The veggies were also very fresh and kept the dish light. We loved the flavors and textures of the duck choo chee - the red curry was very aromatic and lemongrassy, and the coconut milk added some creaminess. So far, I have only been impressed by the quality of the food and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!!

    We had this for the first time recently, and the food was very good. As was the friendly customer…read moreservice (we got the food to go, so we can't speak much to the ambiance). What was not good was the notable discrepancy in price on the website versus the actual prices. So, this review is a PSA because Thai Spice really needs to rectify this immediately and get all of its sites updated. At the time of our order two weeks ago (and at the time that I am writing this review), the website https://thaispiceauthentic.com/ and the PDF menu hyperlink on that website (and the Order Now hyperlinks on the site) all reflect outdated prices. If you access the business via the https://www.yumdthaicuisine.com/ site (immediately confusing because this does not appear to be the current restaurant name, and the sign outside the restaurant says Thai Spice) or if you Google the restaurant and access the Toast site to order, you will get the current, actual prices. But these are way too many variables for a customer to reasonably navigate or to know what is accurate. We ordered the following: - Thai Sampler - We expected to pay $14.96/99 (two prices, one on the PDF and one via the Order Now link); the actual current price is an astounding $22.50 ($15 was a good deal, we thought; $22.50 is not--not for what you get) - Chicken Pad Thai - We expected to pay $13.96/99; the actual price is $14.95 - Yellow Curry - $13.96/99; actual price, $14.95 - Sticky Rice - $3.00; actual price, $4.00 A difference of over $10. Not great.

    I had 0 expectations from this place. But this is what you call a legit hole in the wall. First…read moreimpression I chuckled that when we drove by. I thought we were going to an abandoned dunkin doughnuts spot that they just kind of bought and took over. Walking into the restaurant you get the instant blow of PHO in your face. That' is NOT a bad thing at all! When you're pho broth game is that GOOD that is how it suppose to be! Whom ever made it. Hats off to ya! That was one of the best broth's I had in years on the east coast! NYC needs to up their game. They have high end, low end, or just average of viet food but in CT. I'm jelly cause this chef is 100% legit. Let's put it this way. That pho is so good. When you leave the place. It left a stank on my clothes! If you're a fan of pho. AGAIN. It's not a bad thing at all! That's when you know someone in the back perfected that recipe. I'm sorry I had to repeat it several times how good it was. Portions, cuts of meat, everything was on point. I would just come here for that alone if I ever drive back here. The spring rolls on the other hand was standard. Nothing too crazy, nothing special about it. I was hoping they use the clear raps and pan fried/deep fried it with that instead but we got to regular spring roll wraps which is fine. All in all, if you're ever in this area. HIGHLY recommend !

    Pho here is simply fantastic. Small family owned place with…read moreincredible food One of my fav spots to get pho anywhere
