    The utensils are plastics.
    Mary C.

    Food are okay over all. Shrimp fried rice is good. Boat noodle is okay, not the best for me. Chkn wings are good. Sticky rice is over cooked . Condoments are plastic spoon and fork, paperplate and paper bowl which i am not fan. By the road, hard to find parking. Area is clean though. Not a lot of service but to serve and left. Overall diffenately not the place i want to come back sorry.

    Red curry lunch special
    Peter H.

    I initially wanted to give this place a 4 star but increased it to a 5 star rating. I came here because I had a craving for thai green iced tea but was also in the mood for Thai food. They're a relatively new establishment and they had some awesome lunch specials that sealed the deal for me when looking for a place to eat. They have separate deals if you spend above a threshold (I think it was $30 or more). Very friendly service and there wasn't a wait. I got the red curry which came with an egg roll. It was really good. I chose moderate spice thinking it would give a good kick but I ended up grabbing more hot sauce to add in myself. Overall it was really good. I ended up finishing the curry until there was nothing left. The thai green iced tea was okay. It tasted a little more watered down than I was used to but it was still good. They only serve the food in togo containers too. The portion sizes felt smaller than what I had hoped to get which was the reason behind my 4 star choice but then I remembered it was the lunch special AND I finished everything because I liked it so much. I'd come back for sure!

    Disclosure: I'm Thai American and grew up eating home cooked meals and in Thai Town and Thailand. My sticky rice had hard and chewy corners like it wasn't freshly made or it was poorly made. Som tum wasn't even spicy--it actually tasted sweet and lacked flavor depth. The lab gai was a weird texture, watery, and missing the toasted rice (or maybe it was soggy so I didn't get that crunch) and also not spicy and a bit bland. And so the search for satisfying Thai food in the South Bay continues...

    Pad See Ew and Garlic Pepper stir fry, both supposed to be with steamed tofu but came with fried
    Tony H.

    Sorry Spice & Spoon, but you not only gave us the wrong order but gave the stingiest portions of food that were nowhere near the $16 price tag on them that were undercooked and underseasoned. I saw prior reviews that talked about this but I gave them a chance anyways. I came here twice previously and it was good and the portions were correct, both times there was a woman who seemed like she might be the owner running the restaurant. This time there were 2 guys. However, now I have experienced what those other people have experienced, so there is obviously no consistency. What you see in the photos are what it looked like when we opened the containers. There were barely even noodles in the pad see ew, and the portions of both were so small that I had to eat something else afterwards. There was no flavor in either dish, like they just threw it in a pan and cooked it without adding seasoning. The stir fry was more rice than stir fry. Super disappointed as this was a to-go order and I didn't have the time or energy to go back there to show them. Other than that, be aware that ordering medium spicy is super spicy, and I can handle spicy food.

    I was excited to check out this place on grand opening and I was able to help them add the business and pictures to Yelp. Unfortunately, the kitchen was too busy and they had to pause ordering (around 5:45 pm) for 1/2 hour. After waited for 1/2 hour, when ordering was finally resumed, the only thing available was curries. We would rather come back again to get a full experience and when operations are more smooth. I'm giving it a 3-star for now since the lady didn't alert me when they resumed ordering so we were left waiting. Hopefully things improve once they have more experience.

    Hello everyone! So I decided to update my review from last night as I take the time to re-consider my experiance in the restaurant. I fixed it now and gave my full review below. I would give Spice & Spoon top place for ambience. The indoor seating is my favorite because of the excellent view of the street. It feels like I am in an airplane even though the height of the building wasn't extremely high. It just felt so cool how the restaurant was built. As for the food, I ordered Satay and Pad Thai with a refreshing Thai tea. I would honestly rate the food a 3. The pad thai was very saucy and sticky, the noodles were flavorful and succulent. But I wasn't a personal fan of the saucy part. Although, is all personal preference. The satay tasted a bit plainer compared to most I have tasted so far. The thai tea is sweet, very fresh and I think it tasted very good. Lastly, I have no complaints on the service since the staff were very kind to us. I rate this as a three because the food was a bit of a disappointment for me, but I also enjoyed the experience of the place. But overall, thank you for the experiance.

    Chicken larb with no cabbage n a ton of salad on the bottom - zero flavor
    Christine O.

    I hate to do this to a new business but Thai food, this is most definitely not. We tried 4 items. They use salad as fillers on the papaya salad and larb. Neither item had much flavor and portion size to menu price did not compare. The chicken satay was passable. The Tom Yum soup had zero flavor, in fact we left the full bowl. All items are served in to-go containers even though you're dining in. You have to continually get up and ask for bowls if you wanna share a large soup, plates if you want to share any item, it's a bit ridiculous. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. Way too many other Thai spots to dine at.

    Fried tofu and Chicken Pad Thai
    Olivia K.

    I've been eager to try Spice and Spoon since they opened! And I must say, this place blew me away! My mom ordered the Tom Kha soup and the Papaya salad. I had the chicken Pad Thai and an order of the fried tofu. The flavors were fresh, bold, and authentic. Everything was incredible. The service was friendly, and the vibe was relaxed but nice. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting. Rex was attentive, knowledgable, and very kind. Easily one of the best Thai meals i've had. (My mom is visiting from the East Coast and she made the same comment) We were both very impressed. We will be back!! Highly recommend!

    Where is the add on option???
    Tony T.

    I tried their chicken pa krakpow. It was good but I'd didn't have the egg on top like the picture. I asked where is the egg and they said that was as add on. They did not offer during order and I did not see it on the printed menu. Ask so you are not disappointed.

    Pad Thai
    Jeff Y.

    Staff was friendly and pad Thai was solid. Mostly for takeout but dine in had chill vibe.

When you dine in they bring metal cups with an icy cold carafe of cold water to your table. Customer service is efficient. The person behind the counter is very soft spoken and gives you a slight smile but gets your order correct every time. Hands down so don't argue with me they have the absolute BEST orange chicken. It has a slight crunch on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside. The orange sauce is perfection. It has a great balance of salty and sweet without being overly sweet like an orange candy. It's not tart and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They put the right amount of sauce so it is not drenched. Pair it with the garlic rice and the salad that crops and fresh no dressing is even needed. Order this and you will be happy. The regular white rice is good too! The Zapp chicken is crunchy, juicy and spicy. I normally cannot eat spicy but this one is perfect. Since my 24 year old son told me about this restaurant I've been here four times in the past month. Simply delicious!!!

    This was my 1st visit since the COVID era and it appears that Taishi Hainan Kitchen now shares the…read moresame kitchen with Tea 9 and Blossom Ramen. In addition, Taishi Hainan Chicken also opened another location in Long Beach. [Parking]: The parking lot is fairly small and is shared with Chicken Maison, but there is usually a spot available to park. [Ordering]: There's a kiosk to place an order at the cashier counter and I didn't pay any additional fee. However if customers order online via Chowbus, then there is a $1 online ordering fee. I received my order in less than 10 minutes as I was the sole customer. [Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in atmosphere and nothing to write home about. [Menu]: For their signature Thai-style Hainan Chicken, customers can order original, fried, or mixed chicken. There is no longer a Yelp check-in offer for free Herbal Chicken Soup, but it remains another popular order. *** Mixed Hainan Chicken Rice ($15.72): This order came with two sauces - one dark & spicy soy sauce (good for fried white chicken) and one sweet & sour sauce (good for original white meat). I personally prefer the fried over the original. Decent portion and enough to feed 1 adult. Herbal Chicken Soup (with spicy dipping sauce - $9.65): This is a really nice soup to drink when you have a cold. The broth had 5 herbs - Codonopsis, Rhizoma, Goji Berry, Dioscorea, and Astragalus. The chicken soup also had mushrooms and the broth was very savory. *** Overall still a solid 4 stars for the Hainan chicken rice and herbal chicken soup. This is one of those places I wouldn't mind stopping by again if I am looking to switch things up with what I want to eat for the day.

When we arrived it was apparent the "chef@ was also the hostess. As a result we waited quite a while to be greeted and seated. I should note that the chef did arrive about thirty minutes later. I ordered the Waan Om Khom Kluean yellow chicken curry and my guest had the deeb Sao Thai Pad Thai with shrimp. I also ordered a Thai ice tea and the server forgot to bring it. I had to remind her after my meal was almost finished. To me the chicken curry had a terrible unappetizing presentation. It looked like shredded chicken and big lumps of potatoes. In fast that's what it was. While the taste was pretty good, the over abundance of potatoes felt like a filler for less chicken. It was a decent dish but far from one of my favorites. The Pad Thai looked a lot better. My guest said it was good, not great, and that he'd order it again. Now to the price. Nearly $70 including the two dishes, one Thai ice tea and rice. This was not fine dining. I realize they have bills to pay but it was much more than I've paid at other Thai restaurants for similar meals. All parking is on the street. One need a bit of courage to park on PCH as passing cars make it scary to open the driver's door. Cars were flying by in the 40's and 50's and it's a very unsafe parking location.
