First off I love the food here. Usually a great place. I came in tonight though and the waiter refused to seat me and my friend for service because it was "too late". We walked in the door at 8:40pm, the restaurant closes at 9:30, there were two tables occupied In the whole place. Not sure if the waiter just didn't feel like doing his job or if he was just plan lazy, pretty sad regardless for a place that is usually on point. My recommendation is for y'all to get someone who actually wants to work or change your posted hours from 9:30pm to 9pm because apparently your dining room closes at 8:40pm when this guy is on shift. read more

One of the better Thai restaurants in the area. The red curry was very flavorful as well as the fried rice. Portions were also a good size. Great service. Did not disappoint. read more

Lime Leaf - Red Curry with tofu and white rice - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Had dinner with a great friend from my working days here last Tuesday. We had edamame and eggplant for appetizers and then pad Thai and Spicy beef for entrees. Food was good and service was prompt and professional. Got seated into a preferred table with a window to Main Street and the evening activities. A great 2 hours of catching up around a really good meal. Recommend this when in downtown Spartanburg. read more

Four of us started with four appetizers. We got the edamame, summer rolls, spring rolls and lettuce wraps. The lettuce wraps filling didn't look good but tasted delicious. The summer rolls came two to an order. We asked for a knife to cut them but it never came. We used a spoon. Not easy. The fried spring rolls came three to an order; I didn't get one. The edamame were good. Our waiter was clearly not on it that night. He should have told us the number in the orders and suggested upping both rolls. When Our four appetizers were served; he did not bring plates. We waited looking at them for a long time until we got plates. Someone had to actually get up and say something. For my main I got the yellow curry with shrimp and potatoes. It didn't look so appealing but tasted delicious. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. There were a lot of crunchy onions and soft potatoes too . For dessert we all spilt the fried banana and ice cream and the mango sticky pudding. The fried banana was good and had co but on it. Although no one liked the mango sticky pudding, I liked the large amount io fresh mango served with it. One friend commented that they clean he bathroom floor with bleach and he was impressed. read more

So my mother & I gave this place another go this weekend while I was visiting. I feel I need to up the rating a tad, mainly due to the stellar service and the new entree I tried. We started off with the fresh rolls, which were stuffed full of veggies and had a yummy plum sauce on the side. Our server was cheerful and quick. Our appetizer was on the table shortly after we ordered and our beverages were nearly always full. Can't beat solid service with a smile! For my meal, I went with the Emerald Shrimp which was served on a massive plate full of jumbo shrimp, with garlic, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, and came with a side of white rice. I asked for the highest spice level, but that didn't seem to do the trick. After I asked the waiter about it, he brought me the lovely spice tray (see photo) so I could amp up the heat on my dish. Toss on a little hot sauce, some pepper flakes, and some hot oil substance, & I was set. This delicious dish will likely be a repeat for me at some point in the future. I love the location, the staff, and the wide variety of the menu. Always worth a visit if you're looking to try something out of the local norm. read more

Lime Leaf is really good. It was redecorated a few years ago and looks nice and upscale for essentially being a small downtown cafe. First of all, the front table overlooking the street is a great little private section, and our party of four was seated there. We enjoyed edamame, spring rolls, and other apps, along with some of the specialty cocktails. They are delicious, I had two. Apps were also good. For dinner, I got spicy fried rice with chicken and it was a nicely sized portion. Very tasty, too! Lots of flavor but not so hot as to be inedible. C got pineapple fried rice with raisins and peanuts, which was served in a whole, huge half pineapple. Yes! It was very good, too. Presentation made the food as fun to look at as to eat. Overall, a great place, near to other spots downtown where you can walk after or before dining, and we will be back. read more

Lime Leaf - pineapple fried rice - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I have been spending money weekly here for years now. I can't fathom this place not having 5 stars. I am 100% a food snob, always looking for the best and this place exceeds the mark. Recommend the panang noir and the clay pot. They also have excellent gluten free dishes (two already mentioned), are open 7 days a week, excellent location and the folks that work here will learn your name! Ty lime leaf!!! read more

What I would really like to give them is a 3 minus. Great service, good appetizer, very mediocre main dish. The good: The atmosphere was nice. The service was prompt and polite. The spring rolls were pretty decent and my wife really enjoyed her pineapple fried rice. The bad: My benchmarks for a Thai place is their curry and the Pad Thai. I tried the red curry. First, it was yellow which is odd for red curry, but the server assured me that it was red. It had 2 peppers beside it in the menu to show it as medium spicy. It was spicy like white bread. There was very little flavor at all in a traditionally spicy dish. It was also completely full of raw bell pepper slices. I like bell pepper, but this was a lot and they were not cooked at all. It was just strange. Even though my wife liked her dish, we will not go back. There is just better Thai food around. read more

Lime Leaf - Red curry. Oddly not red, but they said it was red. - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I went into Lime Leaf a couple of weeks ago for my aunt's birthday. We had an amazing time! I had the tofu green curry and it was so good, I was craving it by the time I went to bed that night. Mmmm I want to bathe in it! lol We all split the fried banana dessert, which was sliced banana, breaded and fried, with ice-cream. It was drizzled with a white creme icing and topped with coconut flakes. The coconut was perfect! The ice-cream didn't exactly compliment it, but it's almost a staple with desserts nowadays. It was $7 for a personal bottle of champagne. I got about a glass and 1/4 out of it. It tasted better than I was expecting. The waiter was good at what he did and didn't try to rush us or ignore us once it started getting busy. Afterwards, we took a stroll around the square and then headed to the cigar bar a few doors down. We had a scotch and cigar under the lights in their hidden patio section. I recommend them both. It was a great night! I'll probably be getting the same entree next time I go, but I'm anxious to try the Green Tea ice-cream, read more

Lime Leaf - pineapple rice - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

So I went to Spartanburg (Sparkle) City with my wife and friends. We had the most amazing time shopping and talking to the town folk. We had asked one lady (Tammy) at Gear 2 Go about a good place to eat. Tammy automatically suggested Lime Leaf to us not knowing all along that we like food from the Far East. We headed that way without hesitation. The Lime Leaf is located in the center of this town that has such a nice small town feel. This is the type of town I would soon like to live in. Nice shops and a town drugstore leading up to the restaurant. We were greeted appropriately and the waitress sat us in a nice size booth. Thank God because we were about to grub down. The waitress brought out the lunch complimentary appetizers (spring rolls and a real light rice and meat soup). I don't know if I was hungry but I know that the appetizer method did what it was supposed to do which was make us salivate In preparation for out main course. I did partake in a non alcoholic aperitif. The Thai Iced Coffee was all that. I ordered this Clay Pot (Mai Pham) that had all of the three essentials to the bouillabaisse style cookery that a foodie can't live without (Shrimp, Mussels, Scallops). The vegetable were all fresh but what was important was the broth associated with this dish. The broth along with the cilantro, fresh ginger, bok Choy and mushrooms created a fragrant in your mouth that was like a symphony. You have to try this place. I would recommend this to all. read more

Good, solid Thai food. The staff is very friendly and helpful in suggesting dishes and beverages. They have a bourbon from Japan that makes a delicious "Manhattan" type drink. The only fault was the men's room could use some remodeling. Seemed very dingy. read more

The food was immaculate and so flavorful!! I got the green curry and it was delicious, i will will definitely get it again. Our waiter was very nice and made us feel welcomed and the ambiance was very nice. I will be coming back! read more

Not sure why this place got good reviews.... Ordered: Fresh rolls - which were wrapped in Saran Wrap, pre made, not fresh and no meat in them :/ Pad see ew - very dry, little taste, and noodles were cooked awhile ago. Pretty poor food in my opinion. read more

Lime Leaf - Pad see ew - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

This place is the worst "Thai" food I've ever had In my life. All of the meat was soggy and over sauced with a horrible thick consistency. When I let my server know I didn't like it he took it back and at that point the kitchen manager came out and said I Ate half of it(I literally had 3 maybe 4 bites). I wasn't trying to be confrontational I just wanted swap the meal out with something else. The manager kept insisting that I pay for 50% of the meal.. I finally told him I wasn't going to pay for it after he made a big scene in the middle of the restaurant. Our server was amazing but that was the best part about this restaurant. I highly suggest you pick somewhere else to dine. I repeat don't waste your money on this food. read more

I have been thrilled since moving here to see so many more Thai options than where I used to live. And I'm further impressed by the number of good ones. This is a good one. It's a bit pricey, but it is fantastic. And I say that after finally getting to try the takeout my family got about an hour or so after it had been hot and fresh. I was held up as work and late to dinner and in spite of all of this, I believe the phrase I used was "ah, this has healed my weary soul." Go, if you love hot, spicy, and gloriously flavorful, go. read more

I got the pad Thai and it was probably the worst I've ever had. The noodles were very mushy and clumped together. I didn't even eat it all. The spring roll and soup was cool but I'd stay clear of the pad Thai. The server never came and checked on us at all either. Only came over to give us the check. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

I like it a lot, cool inside, I like the decor. Not the very best Thai but it's not bad. Overall, it's a good place.

The food is absolutely delicious the service is incredible and I've never been disappointed, I highly recommend this place.

Food was decent , have had better Thai food elsewhere. Service was very poor. It's not about how long you have to wait it's about how we were treated. Being a server is about making the experience great but that was a fail here, Won't be coming back ever again! read more

I would suggest looking elsewhere for Thai food. This place has gone way down hill since it first opened. Pad Thai nor Pad See Eu are even close to authentic. They taste like they came from an American McDonald's version of decent Thai food. Eat at your own risk. read more

Lime Leaf - Microwaved "Pad Thai" and Microwaved "Pad See Eu" - Thai Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I came here for dinner, I love a good Thai restaurant and wanted to give this place a try. When you first walk in you will notice the decor is in keeping with Asian influences. There are a combination of stand alone tables and booths to accommodate any size party. The staff was extremely friendly and the service was really fast from taking the order to bringing drinks and the meal. It wasn't overly loud so you could definitely have a conversation without having to over talk the room noise. I tried the Thai cashew chicken, it was fine but the tangy tomato based sauce was overwhelming and a little watery. It came with rice and it was a large plate. The Hurricane Morgan was a nice cocktail, made with Mango Vodka, Captain Morgan Rum, Orange juice, Pineapple juice and grenadine. It was quite tasty. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience and the prices were nice, the food was so so. read more

Delicious Thai food with a little variation. Service was excellent and atmosphere is nice and relaxing. Will definitely be back!!

Given the prices at Lime Leaf, I was expecting more from the food. I ordered a Thai curry dish the first time that I went to Lime Leaf in the second time I ordered a fish dish. The first time that I went I thought it was very good but I didn't think that it was better than the lower-priced monsoon just down the street. The second time the fish was overcooked and with little flavor. Not bad but not worth another trip. read more

We went here for dinner. I ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken. It was very good with the roasted cashews, raisins and the pineapple. It was very different flavors that mixed very well together. My husband on the other hand had a very bland red curry that was not even red. I am personally will not go back by choice but if I am with someone else who picks it I will go. The service was really good and the place was very clean. read more

This is always a great choice. Great portions super savory foods. Exotic and different dishes. Must try; simply excellent!

Lime leaf never disappoints ! Always fresh and tasty! Love the Basil Chicken and the spring rolls, yummy read more

I was absolutely taken away by this place. The waiter was very attentive to my order and thought to ask if I wanted a vegan spring roll- Which was excellent, both in texture and taste. I ordered the green curry with tofu and had the option to have it without fish sauce. In addition, I got to choose how I wanted my tofu done, and which kind of rice I wanted as well. This also came out fantastic. Perfect amount of heat, lots of veggies, plenty of tofu for my liking. The rice came separate and the veggies+tofu were a bit long and were not fun to cut with a spoon and angled bowl, but that's fine by me. It didn't get in the way of me loving the dish. Staff was friendly, decoration was fairly tasteful and richly colored, music was nice as well. I'd absolutely suggest this place as a Thai restaurant to stop by when in Spartanburg! read more

We are staying at my sisters house tonight and I have to whisper while I write this review. When we were kids we used to go to Bangkok Cuisine in Mid-City New Orleans and it has pretty much made every other Thai restaurant on the planet taste like some Regular Type of Cracker. My sister meant well when taking us to Lime Leaf but the only thing well about it was our blue drank which was all blue and all fun to drink on. We ordered duck which tasted like a duck who had some regular old duck life - walking around, looking at other ducks, swimming all normal. The duck I've had at other places (Bangkok Cuisine, Herb Saint) tasted like a duck who was a superhero or the president of all ducks or a superstar in the duck athlete world. I can't tell my sister any of this because I don't want to hurt her feelings, because I suspect she might have some sort of ownership deal worked out with the Lime Leaf managers. The Thai Tea was really good, I drank it really fast. read more

In Spartanburg on business and like a dummy, I ate at the Marriott restaurant 3 out of 4 nights. I hear word about a great Thai place on main and I'm all over it. The atmosphere was nice. Small, dimly lit space conducive to good conversation. The wine list was good. They had a good-looking menu and I would definitely come back again to try other entrees. I ordered the jalapeno chicken, since it had 3 chili peppers next to the name, indicating maximum spiciness. It was tasty and hot, with big chunks of crispy jalapeno throughout. My colleague ordered the volcano beef, which is topped with crispy onions and set aflame! It looked awesome, and he looked delighted with it. This was definitely what I needed after too much bad hotel food. read more

Horrible experience. There is something with most of the restaurants downtown and smart ass wait staff. Also the food isn't that great. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this place. read more

Passing through on a road trip and on a serious mission to find noodles, my friend and I meandered into downtown Spartanburg hoping to try Monsoon Noodle House... DENIED. We walk up and there's caution and danger tape all over the place like a bad crime scene. Apparently there was a fire there in March - upset and wondering why we came to this middle of nowhere town, we walked down the street to find food. Anywho, we still want some damn noodle and see Lime Leaf off in the distance and decide Thai will do. Best. Coincidence. Ever. Lime Leaf had so many noodle dishes to choose from, all at similar inexpensive prices, and with the option of meat, tofu or veggies. In addition to the easy menu, we got complimentary soup and spring rolls when we sat down! Service was really quick too, I think the food was out within 5 minutes. Crazy speed chefs hiding back in the kitchen or something. If I find myself in Spartanburg ever again, Lime Leaf is my first stop. read more

This was our first time visiting the restaurant and will likely be our last. Ordered tofu lettuce wraps, green curry with veggies and pad see ew, which was recommended by the waiter. Lettuce wraps had zero flavor other than salt, tofu was incredibly mushy, perhaps raw. Green Curry with veggies was very water-y and light on flavor. Veggies didn't taste fresh. The Pad see ew seemed to have very soft but very over cooked tofu, which produced a stringy-chewy texture. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone that wants good authentic Thai food. read more

This was our big night out in Spartanburg and my coworker said we HAD to try this Thai place so I didn't want to disappoint him. The location is great, the ambiance is very nice inside with comfortable chairs and very friendly attentive waiters. The menu was your typical Thai menu and then there were some non-traditional specials that looked interesting. We stuck with the old Thai favorites and went with the lettuce wraps, chicken satay, green curry, and ginger stir fry. The lettuce wraps were surprisingly tasty and it was nice that they used romaine instead of the questionable iceberg you get at PF Chang's. Aside from the sweat beading down the face of my coworker he said the Green Curry was outstanding and I was more than satisfied with the ginger stir fry. If you're in the mood for Thai and you're in Spartanburg it's definitely worth a stop here. read more

Wow...who would've ever thought that I'd have some of the best Thai food I've ever had in Spartanburg SC? Coming from NY, where Thai restaurants are popping up as quickly as pizza shops, certainly not me! We stopped here for lunch on our way to the BMW factory tour. There were 7 of us and we all ordered something different from their terrific lunch menu. I can't even remember what they all were but each one was better than the last. We all tried each dish and nobody could decide which was the best...they were all THAT good. read more

Lime Leaf might be my favorite lunch spot in downtown Spartanburg. It's a five minute walk from my office, the service is always quick and excellent, and the lunch prices are a steal. For the low cost of about $8.00 you get a little soup, a spring roll, and your chicken or veggie main dish which is just kind of unbelievable to me. Top that off with one of their sweet Thai iced coffees for dessert and I'm one happy camper. Going for dinner is a little bit heavier on the wallet, but the service is so good that I don't really mind the prices. It's not crazy expensive, but for a young working professional like myself it is on the more pricy side of places I'll eat regularly. And I do eat here regularly. I'd say I'm at Lime Leaf once every couple weeks. My favorite is the panang neur with chicken. It gives me the little kick I want without overloading my senses. I know I mentioned it a couple other times, but I cannot say enough about the service here. I have never once had a bad experience with the servers. They are all fun and charming people who take care of their guests. I would come back just for that, it's a bonus that the food is good too. read more

The Lime Leaf is an excellent place to grab some Thai food for lunch or dinner. I generally eat here for lunch whenever I'm downtown because of the great specials and general inexpensiveness of the food. Dinner is a little on the expensive, so I've only eat here once for dinner. For lunch, you get soup and spring rolls as an appetizer to your meal at no extra cost. Their spring rolls are awesome and served with a great dipping sauce. I usually order the Sweet & Sour Chicken for lunch, unless there's another item on sale that catches my eye. I've never had a bad meal here -- so, experiment a little. Overall, the food is excellent. Also, If you're into sweet tea, their tea is awesome. read more
