    7. Fried Garlic Ribs
    Inglish R.

    It was my first time trying this spot and I must say it was pretty good. The servers were nice. The reviews did mention how dark it was inside and I would have to agree. Although it was a little darker than most restaurants I was still able to enjoy and see my food. Just use flash if you're taking any photos! Started off with the Thai Tea and wow it was 10/10. It was my first time having Thai tea and I absolutely loved it. I even ordered one to go! I ordered the Pad Thai with chicken and medium heat. Just a heads up if you don't like spicy I would not recommend medium. It was pretty hot even though I am a spicy kinda gal. Probably why their name is spice it up -- they did not hold back. After a while though the spice went away. The garlic ribs were crispy and tasty. Also enjoyed the papaya salad with mild heat. Extremely fresh and crunchy.

    1. Pad Thai
    Autumn L.

    Almost full house. Came here for dinner as it was my second time and loved it! I never tried curry before but it do have a slight kick to it which was perfect. Chicken satay and pad Thai also had much flavor. Will come back again.

    Not worth it.

    Very disappointing, I order 2 items, drunken noodles and kaopoon. Drunken noodles was good, portion was little, but the kaopoon noodles was hard as hell. Wasn't fresh, felt like it was brought out the fridge and microwaved.

    Mango sticky rice
    Alissa H.

    Soooo delicious! Got chicken pad se ew (idk if that's how to spell it) but it was soooo flavorful! Even without spicy! Mango sticky rice was good too! Love that they add lots of cream! Nice people too, fast service.

    2. Red Curry Noodle Soup
    Olivia F.

    10/10 I'm so happy we found this gem!!! We came here for an early Saturday dinner and sat ourselves. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We tried the garlic ribs appetizer, red curry Lao noodle soup with chicken, and pad see ew with chicken and tofu. The ribs were super sticky and flavorful, the portion size was appetizer appropriate. The red curry noodle soup was my favorite! It was so creamy and the noodles weren't soggy. We even took the last bits of soup home with us . The pad see ew was also amazing but on the sweeter side. The veggies were cooked perfectly and spice level can be adjusted. We already can't wait to come back!

    I ordered the seafood delight. No onions. When i say it was good..I mean I inhaled that plate. I'm sad I live an hour away but now I know my go to spot when I'm in town.

    Heavenly Beef

    Wonderful Experience - Spice It Up Heavenly Beef I had a wonderful experience with Spice It Up Heavenly Beef. The beef was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with a rich blend of spices that truly lived up to the name "heavenly." Every bite was savory and satisfying, with just the right balance of heat and aroma. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the dish was cooked to perfection. It's comforting, delicious, and clearly made with care. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold flavors and well-prepared beef. I'll definitely be ordering this again!

    1. Papaya Salad
    Mika Y.

    Went on a Monday afternoon for an early dinner. We were seated right away. My Grandma had a wheelchair and she was able to eat and reach the table so that was good. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Our server was very attentive and kind. Her service was amazing. We had a variety of dishes. My favorite is the Pad Thai. It's very flavorful and saucy. I give it a 10/10. The fried fish was delicious too. The grilled chicken was tasty as well with the sauce. The meal total was almost $150 because we also got desserts and drinks. Ask for less sugar on Thai Tea. Mine was super sweet so I had to add more water on my drink. I would come here if I want to splurge on a meal.

    Red curry noodle soup (kao pboon)
    Alex Y.

    We arrived on a Saturday evening and there was no wait at all. They seem to have more take-out orders than dine-in patrons. The food was delicious! Every item we ordered was extremely flavorful. Although I left with a full stomach, I still think that the portions could be a little bit bigger. The interior is also really clean and the host was extremely friendly. I will definitely be back again for more!

    Lao Sausage
    Savannah R.

    My friend and I visited Spice It Up! on Saturday, 11/11/23, during dinner time. We decided to order and share the Fresh Shrimp Roll, Chicken Pad Sa-Ew, Lao Sausage, Lao Noodle Soup, and Mango Sticky Rice. All of the food dishes were truly palatable and flavorful! The fresh roll was great, especially dipped into the peanut sauce. The pad se-ew noodles and veggies were on point. I loved the lemongrass flavor in the sausage. The noodle soup was tasty. Finally, the sticky rice had just the right amount of sweetness. I enjoyed how it wasn't overly sweet. It was adorable how it was presented in the shape of a heart. The service was decent; it could've been slightly more attentive. The inside of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. I will be returning to this restaurant and I recommend coming here!

I have been supporting this place ever since we used to live in the area, and recently we returned for dinner. The prices are still super affordable, and the portion sizes are good for what you pay. I got the shrimp pad kee mao and my husband got the beef pad Thai. $14 for a shrimp dish in this economy? And $12 for other proteins? An absolute steal. I chose medium spicy for both, since I knew their medium spicy isn't very spicy. Both dishes didn't take very long to arrive. The flavors were just as solid as I remembered. My husband loved his pad Thai too, especially since he loves tamarind, and Royal Siam serves their pad Thai with stronger notes of tamarind. Do note that they also use thin noodles here for their pad Thai. My noodles were perfectly bouncy and soaked up all the delicious sauce without being soggy. My pad kee mao came with 6 pieces of juicy, deveined shrimp with the tail still on. Our waters were constantly refilled, and even though it was a quiet evening with only another couple dining in (it was also pretty late), our server was very thankful for us coming in. I'm glad that even after all these years, Royal Siam continues to serve delicious Thai food in Stockton. We shall continue to support them for the years to come whenever we're in the area and craving Thai food.

My rating is 3.0 Good pricing, decent amount of food, typical selections, with sketchy area, especially after dark and uneven quality of dishes. My DH went with his typical Chicken Pad Thai. There's no place on the online ordering system, still furnished by the restaurant, for desired heat level, which is pretty important for Thai joints. I wrote in the Notes section "please make this dish mild, without peppers". For myself, the Pad See-Ew with pork. I always dream of getting char siu but dream on. Also selected the generic fried rice and a couple other dishes. Gung Pad Pak, shrimp sauteed with winter mix veggies and peas. The last item was Pad Ke Nieu, with green peppers and tomatoes and some very big and soggy pieces of bok choy. The best dish was the sauteed shrimp and veggies, which all tasted fresh. The worst was the veggie and beef. About half pound dried out rice noodles, possibly not rehydrated long enough in water beforehand. I found a teaspoon's worth of tiny beef fragments. The Pad Thai was okay but the chicken was rooster-tough and dry. The included chopped Thai peppers had my poor honey stop eating after only a few bites. The Pad See-Ew had plenty of small pieces of thin, dry and tasteless pork, which had a very unusual grain, like wood burls. Veggie and noodle ratio fine but this dishes badly needed sauce. About 1 1/2 teaspoons of those firey little peppers in mine, which I also ordered mild. No issues with the fried rice and I did really enjoy my refreshing Jackfruit milkshake. The spot is in a strip mall, with lots of unhoused folks wandering around and possibly making some customers uncomfortable. The bare bones decor shows a business trying to make do but I hope they have a heart and share some of their end of evening leftovers with those less fortunate, instead of just throwing that away.

I would say their level 3 spice for the laap can get pretty spicy -- it's a slow heat that creeps up on you as you continue eating. One thing I'd ask for next time is some lemon or lime, as I like my laap a bit more tangy. They make their sausages in-house, and while they were good, I think they could be a bit larger considering the price, along with a touch more salt for a more savory flavor. That's just my personal preference. Overall, the food we ordered left us very satisfied. Our waiter was very kind and recommended a few dishes for us to try.
